Chapter 817 The Governments Response
Chapter 817 The Government's Response
Arriving in Japan, Isilia was rather surprised to find out that this city belonged to the Asakura family since the government offered it to them after their deeds on the front lines.
Making their way back to the mansion, Isilia could see quite a few people greet them as it seemed that they were rather respected. Especially Shiro. With some recent headlines of her actions in New York, people now understood that she must have either become a Demi God or that one of her skills were super high levelled.
Most believed that she must have gotten the former since the latter was almost impossible in their eyes.
’No one’ had achieved tier 6 yet and they knew their tier 6 wasn’t Demi God status. If it was, the Queens would have been known as Demi Gods instead.
Plus, her level wasn’t at the peak of tier 5 just yet so it made the first option even less likely.
With her skill being able to mass revive and even give them an EXP boost, there were quite a few forums on the net discussing about her as this was the first time a skill that could boost EXP gain had appeared. Sure, most of the time people might be able to get a passive skill that boosted their EXP gain by a small amount but that was limited to one person.
Shiro’s skill made it so that everyone in range was affected by her skill so as long as everyone was packed together, they could all get an EXP boost.
There were even a few people that reported this to the government in hopes that they could persuade her to share this skill but the government’s response was that they could only ’hope’ they are able to work with Miss Shiro and could not order her to do anything. After all, she was able to toy around with one of their best fighters and even give him a reward for entertaining her.
This was enough of a clue for the government to understand that she wasn’t one to be looked down upon or be controlled. Plus, she was also the daughter of Mio and Koji which would only make the situation worse should they try anything with her.
Not that they could in the first place.
As for her party, they saw the news too but at this point they were numb to it. Even Aarim who had received a sudden boost of what seemed to be Divine Energy in her mana didn’t react as she knew she would just be wasting time being surprised at what Shiro had done. Instead, she used that time to experiment with this strange energy that enhanced her mana. While she couldn’t use it individually like how Shiro did, she was able to empower her spells massively. For example, her gravity control was much harder to break out of now as many would just be crushed into a pancake if they weren’t strong enough.
While Shiro was surprising people with her powers, the party was also doing the same as a rumour of powerful individuals spread through the world.
A girl who was a master of the sword and couldn’t be hit at all, a glutton whose fire could burn anything and one that you shouldn’t provoke especially when food was involved, an angel who was the younger sister of the glutton, a mage that could control gravity at will, a berserk healer whose fighting style was absolutely crazy, an assassin whose attack could kill you instantly despite how much health you have, a tank whose fire power was just as strong as her defence and a blacksmith who seemed to suddenly disappear half way during a fight and suddenly slam a hammer into the side of your skull.
With their levels growing at impressive speeds thanks to their dungeon and raid clears, the party was becoming famous in their own way and was called the party of monsters due to each of them being a talented individual in their own field.
There were even talks that they were stronger than the people who have hero classes which caused a few of the factions to be displeased but they weren’t able to pin the party down. After all, Yin had the Rift and she could pull the party away should they meet any harm. With the items that Shiro had given them, Shiro would also know if they were in danger and so far they were rather safe.
If any faction decided to fight them, they would have a rather rude surprise when they realise that their backing was Shiro and the Asakura family.
Setting aside the rumours about the party, the government had also published some information on the next tier up which is 6. With their observations, they understood that to become a tier 6 being you have to reach the extreme of one element or magic that they use. The government had also published some information about the queens which made people worry since the world seemed like it was going to end with all of these powerful figures appearing out of nowhere and taking over cities left and right.
If not for Shiro clearing Manila and Shanghai with some help, they might have lost quite a bit of hope since those that had faced the wrath of the Queens knew how dreadful they could be.

"Shiro-nee!" Seeing Shiro and the group return, Kanae jogged towards her and hugged her with a happy smile.
"Mn, I’m back. Did you enjoy your rest?" Shiro asked with a chuckle since she knew how hard Koji’s training must have been.
Nodding her head frantically, Kanae glanced towards Koji and couldn’t help but shiver slightly. Despite it not even being a full day yet, the rest felt like an oasis in the desert as it allowed her to catch her breath.
Peeking her head out, Isilia glanced at Kanae with a raised eyebrow.
"Who’s this?" Isilia asked curiously.
"This is Kanae who’s like a little sister to me. Naturally, I have a little sister too who is currently levelling up so I’ll introduce you to her later. Kanae’s someone I trust and will be helping me protect my anchor in the new world. Kanae, this is Isilia, a friend of mine and she’s Lyrica’s mother." Shiro smiled.
"Eh? She’s Lyrica’s mum? She looks super young." Kanae blinked her eyes and glanced at Isilia in surprise.
"Mn she looks young but you can just imagine her as a super granny." Shiro grinned since Isilia had exposed her age earlier.
Hearing Shiro call her super granny, Isilia’s smile twitched but she quickly recomposed herself.
"Where’s Irina?" Shiro asked since she couldn’t find Kanae’s little training partner.
"Oh she had to go back for a bit since there was something she needed to deal with. She’ll be back soon though." Kanae replied as they entered the mansion.
Since Shiro’s goal was to make the anchor, she didn’t stay for long as she collected any materials that Stanley had dropped off.
Checking her list of things that she needed to make the anchor, Shiro was pleased to find that most of the rare stuff that she needed were here and that anything else she required had been noted down by Samuel in the spirit capital. All that she needed to do now was find the right spot and create her anchor.
Right now, she knew that she needed an abundance of mana to make the best anchor for her so that she could get an advantage and the only place that matched the requirement of an abundance of mana was Astral Horizons where Stanley had trained her.
Once she stored the materials in her inventory, she stayed for a meal with her parents before teleporting away to the spirit capital with Nan Tian and Isilia.
Before they teleported, Shiro had sent Samuel a message so when they arrived, there were escorts nearby.
"Welcome back. Everything you need has been prepared and can be collected at any moment." Samuel bowed as Shiro nodded her head.
"Mn, I’ll be making the anchor soon but it won’t be hard. I have a better spot in mind and once I do that we’ll be moving capitals so that it’s easier to travel around. Don’t send news of this just yet but start making some preparations." Shiro ordered as Samuel nodded his head.
"As you command my Queen. Are there any other orders?"
"No that’s the only thing I need you to do. I’m not exactly experienced in ruling a kingdom so I’ll have to rely on you elders to help me do that instead." Shiro chuckled.
Making their way to the capital, the spirits noticed that Isilia was an Elf and they were quite playful with her since the relationship between Elf and spirits have been good for several generations. Naturally, there were a few that played around with Nan Tian but with how they see humans, many were still on guard around him.
Collecting the materials, Shiro smiled since it was finally time to construct the anchor. Their next stop, Astral Horizons.
