". . . What, the f*ck?"

Looking at the scene on the screen right now, the Celestial Empress couldn't help but ma.s.sage her eyes.

With s.h.i.+ro's skill set, she was able not only take the gauntlets away without even fighting, but she was also able to influence the battlefield in such a substantial way.

While the royal army had quite a few people that could freeze the area around them, they weren't able to do much when s.h.i.+ro couldn't even be seen.

Acting as if she was a long-ranged artillery, she would launch her spears with such precision and teleport it back into her hand.

To make matters worse, a single hit from this spear would end a soldier's life so she wouldn't even need to worry about hitting the same target. With her repeating this action and the shadow guards spreading themselves out to a.s.sa.s.sinate the soldiers, they swept through the battlefield unhindered.

"What have I done… why did I even have the spear in the first place" The Empress muttered as she wanted to cry.

She hadn't expected s.h.i.+ro to be able to do this much damage with them hence why she added some more to balance out the situation in hopes of understanding how s.h.i.+ro worked.

After all, since she was going to be the next Celestial Empress, she needed to make sure that her successor was someone who was capable. Sure, she's capable but the part that worries her is that she is essentially brute forcing her way through most things.

If not for Kuromi's a.s.sistance in fixing the weapon, s.h.i.+ro would have a much harder time and the trial would be 'fair'.

"I'm being scammed!" The Empress cried out in annoyance.

Biting her lip slightly, she wondered about what she could do to fix this situation. Due to a slight oversight on how powerful s.h.i.+ro was, there were now three other super weapons that were spread out in this world for her to take. But with how things were going right now, s.h.i.+ro would probably fight everyone to the death in order to obtain those weapons.

"d.a.m.n, I meant for her to form alliances and create a new country to fight the corruption. This is the complete opposite!"

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, The Empress walked around with a frown on her face.

Currently as it stands, s.h.i.+ro and Kuromi would probably complete the tutorial in a matter of days. Once that happens, the main trial would start with humanity being split into multiple factions rather than one united one.

"No, I need to change this. I cannot have the next empress being a lone wolf." She frowned before checking what kind of actions she could take.

With how things are right now, there was only so much she could do after adding celestial weapons in hopes of having s.h.i.+ro band together with the other humans.

However, since she was clearly not going to go down that route, she'd have to get the rest of the weapon bearers to arrive at the battlefield in order to cause some havoc. While the difficulty may spike up, it shortens the amount of time she would need so it would balance out in the system's eyes.

Swiping at her screen, she placed a few of the weapon holders near the battlefield and hoped that this would put some senses into s.h.i.+ro.

After she finished locating the weapon holders, she turned to the system.

"Request for in-depth a.n.a.lysis. s.h.i.+ro is getting help from another ent.i.ty which results in the trial difficulty being easier than what it should be."

[Request Denied. Ent.i.ty – s.h.i.+ro and Ent.i.ty – Kuromi, are one in the same. What Kuromi can do, s.h.i.+ro can also do. It's not a matter of how only when. Your privilege is not high enough to know more information.]

"Huh? Not high enough???" The empress raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"Requesting for as much information as allowed for Ent.i.ty – s.h.i.+ro and Ent.i.ty – Kuromi."

[Request Denied. After the stunt of the Ent.i.ty – Indri Lumire/ 53rd Inheritor of the Cla.s.s – Light G.o.ddess, the admin has decided to place a tier 10 restriction on all information that includes Ent.i.ty – s.h.i.+ro and Ent.i.ty – Kuromi. As the operator of this trial, you are to be careful of how much you interfere.]

[The Admin Is Watching Closely.]

Taking a sharp breath, The Empress couldn't believe that s.h.i.+ro's existence was one that warranted the observation of The Admin. Plus, for The Admin to be 'watching closely', it could only mean that s.h.i.+ro played a big part in the world's development.

'd.a.m.n, what the h.e.l.l. I just want to find a suitable successor ok!? Why the h.e.l.l did I poke a hornet's nest!' The Empress frowned as she paused for a moment to gather her thoughts.

'With how things are right now, the best way to do things is to understand this girl better through interacting with her rather than through the system. Since she's the inheritor, I'll need to talk to her at some point anyway. I'll force the tutorial into one stage so that I can force her growth. Once she pa.s.ses this stage, I can then give her the 'quest' to complete the main goal of the trial. That way, I also have time to talk to her.' The Empress through to herself as she smiled in satisfaction.

Dismissing the screens, she disappeared from her spot.

"Phew. How many kills is that now? I've kinda lost track." s.h.i.+ro asked as she twirled her spear.

"I'd say you've done quite a bit to the army. Lost count when the area of effect attacks. .h.i.t." Kuromi replied with a shrug.

Right now, the situation was quite hectic with skirmishes happening everywhere. The Teriu city guards didn't have a base to camp at while the royal army had s.h.i.+ro and the Shadow Guards thin out their numbers.

There were a few guards that tried to take out s.h.i.+ro but Kuromi dealt with them swiftly before they could even bother her precious little sister.

"Let's see, if we leave things as they are, the battle should end in another hour or so with the Royal Army winning despite our interference. Each of their soldiers are stronger and more combat ready when compared to the Teriu city guards. But if we really wanted to, I suppose we can have Teriu win but I'm not too sure about what kind of consequences that would bring us." Kuromi said while glancing towards the battlefield.

"Hmm… in that case then why don't we- mn?" Furrowing her brows, s.h.i.+ro could feel a surge of celestial energy charging towards the battlefield. Realising that it had a similar feeling to what the spear and gauntlet released; she knew that this must be another weapon.

"Kuromi, something suspicious is going on. There's no way that a third celestial weapon has just delivered itself to my doorstep." s.h.i.+ro frowned.

"What? There's a third one here???" Kuromi raised her eyebrows.

"Yup. To the north east, I can feel another signature similar to the spear and gauntlet. It's too suspicious." s.h.i.+ro nodded her head.

"Indeed… Let's proceed with caution and I'll follow you. I can provide you some support if it turns out that the user is someone annoying to fight against like Rialin." Kuromi nodded her head.

Jumping down from their spot, they dashed across the battlefield and made a beeline towards the source of this signature.

The closer they got to the source, the more chaos they could see. Spells were being thrown left and right as they seemed to be from the same person. Not only that, now that they're closer to the source, s.h.i.+ro noticed that there seemed to be two similar signatures.

"The f*ck? There's another? When the h.e.l.l did celestial weapons become as common as the vegetables you find in a G.o.dd.a.m.n market?" s.h.i.+ro questioned in annoyance.

Kuromi stayed silent since there wasn't much she could say about this situation since her thoughts were the same.

Upon arriving at where the fight was happening, s.h.i.+ro spotted the two items. One was a jewel of sorts and the other was a s.h.i.+eld. The user of the jewel seemed to be in a jubilant mood as he relentlessly attacked the one with the s.h.i.+eld.

"Hand over that s.h.i.+eld!" He demanded while throwing another spell that was parried off to the side.

"I refuse! A mad man like you do not deserve this s.h.i.+eld!" 

"Kuromi?" s.h.i.+ro turned to Kuromi who only nodded.

"Go on, you can do whatever you want, and big sis here will support you." Kuromi chuckled.

"Right. In that case…" s.h.i.+ro trailed off as she launched her body into the air and held the spear in a reverse grip so that it was easier to throw.

"Give me- *cough* Let me borrow your items!"
