Chapter 891 Fan

"Right then where should I start?" Shiro asked with a smile since she did tell the party that she was going to explain her new powers once everyone had woken up.

"Let's just start with new skills then." Lyrica suggested as Shiro nodded her head.

"The first skill is Power of Faith. With this skill, I can make shrines in the city where the citizens can pray to me and their faith is used to improve their life. I can also use this faith in emergency situations and convert it to divine energy." Shiro explained.

"Heh~ How many shrines would you be making? And would you make a new religion?" Silvia asked curiously.

"I don't think I'll be doing any big announcements on this. Just make a few shrines around the place and if they want to pray, they can. I can put up a small notice saying that praying gives you good luck and so on but let's not force them. Once the effects make themselves clear, the populace should pray more. The best move we can do here is to not force them to become followers." Shiro smiled.

"I agree with that. I'm sure the spirits wouldn't mind but the other races would need time. We should focus on making more shrines where the spirits live." Nan Tian suggested.

Nodding her head, Shiro made a note in her mind.

"The second skill that I received is Abnormal Adaptation. It came from Error after our last dungeon run and it basically allows me to reduce the damage I take from an enemy. It's percentage based and it increases with my understanding of them. The maximum reduction is 85%." Shiro explained as the party paused.

She didn't mention a limit when it comes to the tier of the person so that meant gods were included in this!

"So what's next then?" Nan Tian asked as the date for the new age was coming closer and closer.

"I'm going to make some shrines then we'll start integrating the demons. I would have liked it if Madison was awake for this but it's an unfortunate situation. I've checked the mech training right now and so far it seems like it's going well so I don't need to worry about that too much. The main concern is resources. Sure we have farmland but trade will become a lot harder once the new age begins. I have portals to cities but unless we claim and protect those cities, getting resources from them will be hard." Shiro frowned as the party nodded.

"Since all of you are powerful, I'm thinking of stationing you in the cities that we claim as rulers I suppose. You'll be given one of these rune guardians that can mirror my stats so it's like a mini me by your side. It should give you enough protection and just in case the enemy is too strong, it can be used to buy time for us to arrive. Plus, there's no time limit and since we have 10, think of it as 10 tier 6 golems with my stats." Shiro grinned, showing them the rune that she had received at the end of the forgotten realm. Since it mirrored her stats, each of them could be classified as dangers to the world.

"Another thing that you might want to keep in mind is that you don't have to worry if gods start threatening you since I have the best allies when it comes to gods. After I completed my trial on top of Mount Olympus, I was able to get two rainbow tier equipment that allows me to use their powers along with calling them down to assist us. If the gods want to fight, I'll give them a fight. Zeus and Poseidon have a bad impression of me but you don't have to worry about them. Hades is nice though; he has connections with my gramps and is my teacher when it comes to divine energy." Shiro chuckled.

"Hais, we're not even tier 6 and we have to worry about tier 8 beings." Silvia complained as Shiro only smiled apologetically.

"Sorry about that. But I'm sure you lot will do just fine." Shiro encouraged as Silvia shrugged.

"Setting that aside for now, what are we going to do about the demons then. They know that a new queen has been selected and Asphil has been trying to organise everything. However, since she's not the queen herself, it's a bit hard to rally everyone." Nan Tian asked as Shiro leaned back.

"Hmm… that's a good point. While Asphil can work as a messenger for now, the demon race hasn't even seen their queen just yet. Maybe I should make an appearance, they're a race that believes in power after all. I don't want to oppress them but leaving them out like this is not exactly a good choice. Oh by the way, we need to prioritise Chloe's family when it comes to moving them here since she's Helion and Madison's teacher. After that just pick one of the bigger cities and I'll go persuade them once I finish my home visit." Shiro replied.

"Home visit?"

"Yeah I need to go talk to Yuki and have her move to the city too." Shiro smiled.

"Sure, I'll go help Chloe move. After that I'll send you a compiled file on the cities in the demon continent. Hopefully we can get it done soon since the new age is literally around the corner now." Nan Tian smiled.

"Just so you know, you lot don't get overtime pay ok? I can't afford that kind of money." Shiro laughed.

"Pft how stingy. And after all the things we've done for you too." Aarim shrugged.

"Though if you were to calculate all of the overtime pay you owe us, we might run your family into bankruptcy." Aarim snickered.

"Surely not right?" Shiro raised her eyebrow.

"Are you sure? The amount of property damage and mental damage you've caused is quite high." Chen Yu reminded as Shiro coughed.

"Setting that aside, you lot should just rest for the last few days. We'll be busy once the new age starts after all." Shiro quickly changed the subject.

Talking for a little longer, Shiro retreated from the command room and made her way to the teleport hall to make sure that everything was working just fine.

Right now, the number of teleport spots was low but that would increase over time. People could also buy teleport nodes from the shops after they register so that they can return to the city whenever they want.

Picking the teleport node for New York, Shiro stepped through without any problems and arrived at the teleport shrine.

Looking around for a moment, Shiro wanted to find a café store first so that she could get some cake to go along with some juice.

But before she could go to the café, she was approached by a small group of adventurers.

"Excuse me, are you perhaps Shiro?" A girl called out to her as Shiro tilted her head.

"I am. Do you need me for something?"

"Ah! I'm your fan! Can I have an autograph please?" The girl's eyes brightened as she quickly brought out a piece of paper and a pen.

"Eh? My fan?" Shiro was a little surprised as the girl nodded.

"Mn! I've been watching the news about you since you're featured often. I heard that you defeated a tier 6 guardian of an anchor with ease!" The girl smiled as Shiro nodded her head.

"I did. I haven't signed before so I'll try my best I guess." Shiro chuckled since she wasn't used to being supported like this. In her first life, she was feared so her fans were obviously the wrong kind of person. In her second life as Kuromi, she never bothered with the fans that followed what she had done so she never signed anything. This was the first time that a fan had actually asked for her signature so Shiro wondered what she should even write.

Thinking about it for a moment, she settled with just writing her name in cursive with the S enlarged.

"Is this alright?" Shiro asked as the girl nodded her head.

"Yes it is! Thank you." She bowed.

"Mn take this, you should know about the new age right? When things get dangerous, you can use this to teleport to a city called Asharia. If you register there, it should work as a safe place for you to stay when the new age arrives." Shiro said as she handed the girl a small teleport node that could be used for her party and family if she wanted. A hologram of the way to use it would appear when she injected mana so Shiro wasn't worried about whether or not she could use it properly.

"Just inject your mana if you want to use it." Shiro smiled before leaving the area.

Disappearing from her spot immediately, she arrived at the café and ordered some snacks.

Meanwhile, the girl held the teleport node and the autograph happily before making her way into the teleport shrine with the rest of her party.
