Chapter 1074 Syradil's Concern

Sitting on her throne, Syradil was resting with her eyes closed when she sensed something happening above.

Furrowing her brows, she opened her eyes and made her way towards the window.

Looking up at the sky, she narrowed her eyes and activated a skill.

Noticing the countless satellites charging up and transforming into cannons, her lips curled up into a smile.

"So Shiro is still alive and kicking. Good to know that there is still hope I suppose. If she died, I wouldn't even know until the second half of the new age." Syradil muttered with a chuckle.

Stretching her body, she was about to move away when she paused in a horrific realisation.

"Wait… how did she get to space? There should be a barrier there."

Frowning slightly, she was worried that Shiro's attack would pierce a hole in the barrier. Last time she attacked from space, a hole was pierced so it would serve as an entrance for… other entities drifting through space.

If her memory is correct, the barrier should help them fend off against an invasion during the second half of the new age. Where a fallen demi god would bring his army of fallen.

If she pokes too many holes, it would speed up the invasion.

"F*ck… that's not good. I need to have a chat with her. It's already hard enough for the world to fix what happened during the first event and now she wants to poke more holes?" Syradil muttered with a frown. Unfortunately, she was the lifeline so she couldn't leave otherwise she would be talking to her about her choices.

Biting her nails, Syradil could only watch silently.

Watching the satellites fire the shot, she was surprised to see that the shot was guided by a tube of sorts. Each of the tubes would form a path through the barriers before sealing up again.

Blinking her eyes in surprise, she didn't expect Shiro to be able to achieve something like this.

"Wait… if she can do that then… does that mean we can end the invasion before it even starts?" Syradil widened her eyes in realisation.

However, she'll need to increase her level if she wants to clear the invasion. They're against a Demi God after all.

With her knowledge of what had happened in the previous gardens, they'll need to be at least level 900 to pose a significant threat to them. She knew that Shiro had some divine energy in her so she could assume that she has a skill that lets her tap into the next stage.

'But if it's just us two, it's not enough. We'll need more Queens and Empresses to be at that level so that we can clear the stage. But aside from me and her, I'm not sure if there is anyone else who would actually help out.' Syradil thought with a frown.

Tapping her chin, she wondered about the dungeons and other raids that she could forcefully break so that will help everyone raise their levels.

Scratching her hair, she decided that it was probably better to look for Shiro after the event.

If they can form an alliance for now so that they can launch an attack on the invaders before losing more than half the world to them, it would be beneficial.

Thinking back to Shiro, Syradil couldn't help but think back to what happened during the first event.

When the event ended, she had been ambushed by someone who was able to disable her immediately. She wasn't sure about what had happened but there was something… strange about her body now.

There are traces of foreign energy that she couldn't dispel but it helped her growth. With someone being able to ambush her like that, she couldn't help but wonder about what would happen if they had wanted her dead.

Shaking her head, she returned to her phone and sat down.

Since Shiro was able to help her out, there was no need for her to pay attention to this card.

Pulling out a card with a raven feather from her inventory, Syradil ignited it and burned it to ash.

"You'll regret that." A voice rang out, clearly annoyed by her actions.

"I don't think I will. But I have to say, you are quite the detestable existence aren't you? Sneaking around the shadows. What are you? A stalker?" Syradil smirked as her aura flared.

Sensing the presence disappear, Syradil retracted her aura.

"What a creep. But who ever is he, there wasn't anyone like him in the previous gardens." She muttered before closing her eyes. Now it's just a case of waiting until the end of the event to find Shiro.

However, she had the feeling that Shiro would be looking for her instead.

*BANG!!!

Slamming her hand on the table, Thiria watched as all of her barriers for the zones were destroyed in an instant.

None of the zones had protection now and she knew the feeling of that mana. It was Shiro, the same Young Queen that she had ignored so many months ago. She was the one that had 'helped' her indirectly to claim a city for her anchor so she decided to spare her but that was clearly a mistake.

"I should have killed her when I could have." Thiria narrowed her eyes before snapping her fingers.

"You called." A blue haired man kneeled in front of her as there was a runic collar around his neck.

His golden eyes looked down at the ground since he was merely a slave that she won in an event. He wasn't even a proper subordinate under her.

"Take a few tier 6's with you. Do you see that zone with the crest of a woman with a city? I want you to take over that and integrate one of the lesser tier 6's as the lifeline. If things go wrong, you can come back. We just want to kill whoever is inside that zone." Thiria said as the man nodded his head.

"Understood."

Walking out of the castle, he transformed into a multi headed leviathan.

Despite his power, he was reduced to a mere pawn of a heartless queen.

Sighing softly, he looked towards the monsters under Thiria's control and started to make his way towards Vrish' Lir.

After cleaning up everything, Shiro made her way back to the command centre while Yin and Attie went off to do their own stuff.

With Nan Tian following behind her, she wanted to ask Helion to make a few more adjustments to Silvanis since he had some time to rest.

But before she could, she received a call from Misu asking for a meeting.

Asking Misu to come to her office, Shiro waited patiently.

Hearing a knock, she opened the door.

"Come in." Shiro smiled as Misu nodded.

"So what brings you here today? I figured that you would be busy with how many tasks you have been given." Shiro asked.

"I am. But while I'm looking through things I came across something rather curious. So you know how Yin has been leaving to find upgrade parts?" Misu asked as Shiro was a little surprised that she knew since it wasn't something she talked about a lot.

"Don't worry, I was talking to Aarim before and she mentioned this." Misu explained since she could see her confusion.

"Basically, when I was looking through some records, I noticed a pattern with the locations of her upgrade parts."

Pulling out a world map that Shiro had sent to shops, Misu marked down the spots where Yin had discovered the previous parts.

"If you like everything together, what do you think it looks like?" Misu asked as Shiro narrowed her eyes.

With all of the spots being joined up like this, it reminded her of a constellation, similar to what she had seen in the forgotten realm.

"Would it happen to be constellations?"

"Yup. Back in my world, I remember seeing something similar so it took me a while but look at this. This is the Phoenix constellations and it's something that quite a few would use as a crest for the healer guild back in my world. If you overlap the two, you can see that it traces the same outline, even if the positions are different."

If Yin is looking for the last part, I believe it should be here, where the heart of the constellation would be."

Furrowing her brows, Shiro was surprised by her assumption.

"Wouldn't it be towards the eye? With how the stars are positioned, the eye should make the most sense." Shiro asked, pointing towards the top of the constellation.

/p>

"Yes but that's only if the previous locations were in the same place. The eye of the Phoenix is the centre of the constellation before but with the new positions, that eye can be replaced with this node. Meaning, there has to be a new centre. If you link up all the motes, the centre would be here. And guess what's here on the map?" Misu smiled.

"A mountain range of volcanoes… Alright, I'll send this information to Yin, she should be happy to know that the final piece has been discovered." Shiro nodded.

"Mn, you might want to help her though, Thiria has that place on lockdown. Not sure what she wants from that place but a fight might break out." Misu shrugged before packing everything away.

Talking for a little longer, she left the office.
