Chapter 776 Government City
Looking at the giant city in the distance that was situated behind tall walls, Shiro couldn't help but whistle at its impressiveness.
"It is the pride of the government I suppose. If you had to attack this by yourself, how successful do you think you'll be?" Shiro asked curiously.
"Hmm… if they had a full army, I'd say I'll have a 70 to 80% chance of destroying everything. There's not enough information on the mysterious group so I can't say for certain so they could have someone of your level of strength. Highly unlikely but not impossible. What about you?" Nan Tian asked.
As a tier 6, his strength far outclasses a tier 5 so he could attack this place all by himself without care. But if there are people like Shiro, then doing so would be suicidal.
"For me? Well not to be confident but I'd say around 80 to 90%. A lot of my skills favour 1 against many so this is actually good for me. Plus, I have a lot of large scale attacks that are helpful for clearing out large amounts of people at once. The more there are, the better it is for me. Though of course, if I charge in blindly, I'll get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of spells but if I stay on my guard and use my boundary with Celestial Path to get rid of the spells, I'll have a pretty easy time I'd say." Shiro replied after taking a few of her spells into consideration.
The thing that gave her the most confidence in destroying this base is her divine grade skill Pandora's Requiem since the War Saint skill helps out a lot with its instant kill passive. Then there was also the god's blessings that she had achieved from Mount Olympus amongst the myriad of skills that she owns.
"I can definitely see why my mum and dad had an easy time charging into this place. After all, they're more powerful than I was before. Even back then, I'd say I had a 60 to 70% chance of clearing this place if I played my cards correctly." Shiro muttered.
"How do you think you'll fair against your parents now?" Nan Tian asked curiously.
"Hmm… pretty good but I don't know their full skillset and abilities. I'll need to have a spar against them again. But I think I'll be able to counter some of my mum's abilities since they resemble the boundary a lot." Shiro replied after musing about it for a moment.
"That's quite impressive considering that your parents are probably one of the strongest in the world." Nan Tian smiled as Shiro laughed.
"Well I suppose surpassing them and protecting them is one of my motivations in this new age so any strength I can get is helpful."
"True. They'll also be worrying about you. After all, you are their daughter and seeing you risk yourself in front of them would not be a nice feeling." Nan Tian said as Shiro agreed.
If she saw Yin, Lisandra or Attie risk themselves in front of her and she couldn't do anything, the feeling would be agonising from her stand point. Hence why she understood how worried her parents would be but as one of the strongest people around, she was the shield for her friends and family.
Naturally, she is excited for the time when her party becomes strong enough to stand beside her but for now, she was their protector.
She wasn't too worried about them not getting stronger either. Lyrica is a talented swordswoman who is also the daughter of her best friend. From what she had seen, there is a good chance that Lyrica will surpass her mother in becoming the Elven Sword Saintess.
Madison is a candidate to be the demon queen so naturally they were going to help her ascend.
Aarim is a rare mage who has obtained control over gravity, Silvia was an amazing healer, Helion was chosen by the god of blacksmithing, Lisandra was an angel, Yin is a phoenix and Chen Yu was one of the strongest assassin's she had ever seen.
As for Nan Tian, he is probably the first tier 6 to have ascended from Earth so that spoke plenty of his strength.
"Anyways, you think us observing them for such a long time would have caught their attention by now? Surely they would have come to greet us. Or do you think they believe we're not worth the attention?" Shiro asked with a smirk.
"Give them a minute. Perhaps they're assessing the danger level. After all, you aren't restraining your aura so they can definitely feel your strength." Nan Tian laughed.
He already felt like he was standing next to a dragon despite being tier 6 so he could only wonder what the officials were feeling in the city.
And as expected, several guards soon approached them.
"Esteemed ones, do you require something from the city?" The guard bow with sweat dripping off their heads.
Both of these two mysterious people had their levels hidden but they knew that these two were very powerful.
Standing in front of the two was rather difficult as they felt an innate fear towards Shiro.
"I don't require something from the city but rather the government." Shiro smiled as they looked at one another.
"May we ask what you require so that we can pass on the message?" The guard asked.
"Mn, sure why not. I won't make your life too hard." Shiro nodded.
"I want a map of everything the government has to offer. Tunnels, unexplored areas, resource areas and so on. I want the most detailed map the government has to offer." She said as the guards paused for a moment since this information was extremely important.
If this kind of information got into the hands of other people, they could do plenty of harm to the human race.
"What? Don't tell me you can't do that?" Shiro smiled as she narrowed her eyes.
"Just get your higher ups to come here and I'll talk to them. I don't think you can be responsible for this kind of decision." She laughed.
Looking at each other, they sighed and nodded their heads.
Watching them retreat, Shiro glanced at Nan Tian.
"Well that went pretty well no?" Shiro chuckled.
"Mn. They were definitely trying to suppress their fear. I don't think the higher ups can do anything about the fear effect either." Nan Tian chuckled.
"True. Do you happen to be the higher up of your part of the mysterious group?" Shiro called out as she glanced at the small hill behind her.
Suddenly, a portal opened and a young man walked out of the portal.
"You discovered me?" He asked with a curious voice.
"Well it's not hard considering a gathering of mana can be felt behind me." Shiro shrugged.
"Seems like you're quite sensitive to mana. Tell me, why do you require such a detailed map? Are you perhaps working for a queen?" The man asked with a smile.
"You sound like there have been people asking about this before us." Shiro chuckled.
"There has been and they have yet to give me a good reason for giving them a map." The man shrugged.
"And sounds like you drove them away. Are you not afraid of the queens?" Shiro asked.
"Afraid? Not quite. The queens are not strong enough to warrant any fear as of ye-"
"PFT HAHAHAHA!!!"
Hearing his response, Shiro couldn't help but laugh which caused him to frown.
"Sorry, I haven't heard anything so stupid in so long. The queens don't deserve fear? That's only because they're too busy with amassing their armies."
"Please, tell me how you will fight a queen when they amass an army?" Shiro asked as she reappeared in front of him with her blade across his neck.
With the blade unsheathed, the fear passive activated and the man couldn't help but sweat. However, he was not affected too badly.
"I feel as though you are underestimating the government." He smiled.
"Oh? Are you sure?" Shiro had a smug grin as she brought out her phone and tapped a few buttons.
Watching the screen, he widened his eyes as he saw the most detailed map the government had in its possession.
"I wasn't sitting around doing nothing. Your security was rather lackl.u.s.tre." Shiro laughed and hopped down.
"Let's go." Shiro said to Nan Tian as he nodded his head.
But before they could leave, several portals opened up as the man had a frown on his face.
"Seems like they want to fight." Shiro smiled as Nan Tian only sighed.
