Chapter 910 Loved By The People
After finishing the doc.u.ments, Shiro stretched her body since she had been sitting down for a while now.
Glancing at the time, she saw that it was 4:30am and was still quite early in the day.
"What should I do now." Shiro muttered quietly while spinning on her chair. Nan Tian was sleeping next to her so she didn't want to wake him up since he needed his rest as well.
Massaging her wrist, Shiro glanced towards the screen and browsed the internet.
Most of the reports were emergency news that told citizens where to run and how to best survive. There was even news saying that several regions have been prevented from accessing the internet and how they are sending scouts out to place signs for people to follow so that they can find shelter.
Reading a few of the more recent posts, Shiro narrowed her eyes with a small frown since most of them were Queens having the humans recruit more refugees into their camps with the promise of safety.
One of the biggest recruitment attempts was through black monarchy and the beast Queen. Humans already know about the black monarchy's power and with the world in shambles right now, power was the best option in regard to safety.
Plus, everywhere she looked, there were posts that showed people how to reach the Beast Queen's branch city.
'All of them are branch cities. To think that she's already created 5 branch anchors. Her power must be quite low right now but with her power over beasts, I can guess that she's probably taken over the monsters that spawned and used them as puppets. Fighting her would be dangerous considering the level of those monsters. No wonder she was able to become powerful in the future. However, if I used Silvanis' power, I'll be able to challenge her to a one on one. Leaving the area shouldn't be too hard either.' Shiro thought to herself since this was a good chance to take care of a big danger.
The only problem that prevents her from carrying out this plan is the fact that she doesn't know where the main city is. That will be where the main anchor is stationed and if that was harmed during the fight, a Queen would lose a large portion of their strength.
That's why most Queen's wouldn't reveal the location of the main city and the information is sealed off since it's a big risk to expose your weakness. Unlike Asharia, the city can't be moved so her anchor is stuck there.
'My future self told me that I shouldn't underestimate the Beast Queen so there's a good chance that even though she might seem weak with all the anchors that she placed early, she'll be able to turn the battle with ease.' Shiro leaned back while clicking through the pages.
There was a post about the estimated casualty ratings and seeing the number caused Shiro to sigh heavily in the damage done to society was huge. It is estimated that roughly 2.5 billion people died on the first day alone. Even if she saved a few million, it was nothing on the grand scheme of things.
"Tch." Clicking her tongue, Shiro sighed before scrolling down.
Just as she did this, her hand paused seeing a familiar face on the thumbnail.
It was a picture of her when she activated the barriers to save as many people as she could.
Flinching slightly, Shiro hesitated before clicking on the link and found a video that showcased everything she did.
[Don't die. I'll give you a second chance. Please just run.]
Seeing the video of her saying the message that had been transmitted to all those inside the barrier, Shiro felt like her soul had just died three times over.
'AHHHHH!! Why did I say please???? F*ck! I seriously look like what the light goddess did back in Aria!' Shiro cringed inwardly as she said that in the heat of the moment so that they would actually run away rather than ramming their heads against the monsters that they couldn't kill.
Hell if she was any more 'emotional' she might even shed a tear!
Clutching her head, she wanted nothing else but to just roll around and erase the post. However, there were some benefits to keeping it on so she decided to just grit her teeth and do nothing for now.
{What's wrong?} Iziuel yawned as she was woken up by Shiro's cry.
'Ah ahem. It's nothing, you can go back to sleep.' Shiro forced a smile as Iziuel nodded her head.
Looking back at the post with a blush, Shiro saw the comments and shares continuously increase as her embarrassment only seemed to grow.
Gritting her teeth, she clicked at the comment section.
'. . . . .'
Clicking off the comment section, Shiro didn't want to say anything about their weird obsession with feet pics but at least they were still in the mood to joke around despite everything that has happened.
'I guess it's somewhat good that they're mental health is ok.' Shiro thought while suppressing the goosebumps that appeared on her arms.
Shaking her head, she continued to browse the web a little while before turning it off since most of the information on what to do in this situation.
'Most of the people that are joking around are currently living in the cities protected by other Queen's. With the internet being cut off for most of the people out in the wild, it's going to be hard to help the ones in most danger. I guess patrols will have to become mandatory.' Shiro thought to herself while getting some juice out of her inventory.
*Yawn~
Hearing a yawn beside her, she saw Nan Tian waking up.
"Morning, did you enjoy your rest?" Shiro smiled as Nan Tian raised his eyebrow in surprise before chuckling.
"Mn I did. The first day has been rather busy after all." Nan Tian replied as he sat up and saw the blanket on his body.
"I suppose I owe you a thanks." He smiled.
"It's fine, just returning the favour. I don't have much but what do you want to eat?" Shiro asked as she could make a trip down to the café to make something. Plus, she was a bit hungry too.
"Don't worry about it, you don't need to trouble yourself. You've been working hard for the past day after all. Mn? Oh seems like you've seen the post. It's been reposted a few times but your popularity seems to be quite good." Nan Tian chuckled as Shiro shrugged.
"Not my favourite kind of popularity. But I guess it's something." Shiro's smile twitched as she remembered what she had seen in the comments.
"Mn? What do you mean by that?" Nan Tian asked as he clicked on the post.
Before Shiro could even stop him, he saw the comments and paused.
Glancing over to Shiro, he could see her looking away with a faint blush on her face.
"It's weird." Shiro spoke up since the fetishes of the people in the comments were rather... extreme.
"You seem quite loved." Nan Tian couldn't help but laugh when he remembered that she didn't like masochists. Despite her sadistic nature, she was put off by masochists.
Considering how some of the comments involved asking her to step on them, it was understandable.
"Uhgg… I'd rather not be loved by them." Shiro looked at the comments with disgust.
"We'll you're the Queen of the people and even a Goddess. It's only natural that they love you. Some might have a few impure thoughts but that's to be expected considering your appearance." Nan Tian laughed as Shiro rolled her eyes.
"If they expressed that in front of me, they can say goodbye to their lineage." Shiro replied, pretending to throw up.
"And what if it's a woman?" Nan Tian asked.
"I don't discriminate. Man or woman I'll end them both if they try to force themselves on me." Shiro replied while standing up.
Cracking her neck, she sighed and wanted a change of air so that she could forget the comments she had read.
"Let's go to the cafeteria then shall we?" Nan Tian offered as Shiro nodded.
"Sure. Since the chefs are still sleeping do you want to cook or shall I?"
"I'll cook. I've been studying a little after all." Nan Tian smiled.
However, just as they took a step out, they received a notification.
[The transformation of the garden has been completed. The system will resume all its functions.]
