Chapter 1183 - ‘Shipment’
Chapter 1183 - ‘Shipment’
Watching Isvelger disappear for good, his corpse followed in his footsteps and started to disintegrate.
Looking down, Shiro could see a small building where his corpse would have been.
Glancing back at the light particles that were floating in the air, Shiro sighed but eventually smiled.
During his life, he was eventually able to surpass the system, reaching an unknown level and an unknown rank along with the class, Achiever of Omniscience. Overall, he lived his life to the fullest and achieved what he wanted.
Floating down, Shiro landed in front of the door and pushed it open.
The inside of this small house was simple. Nothing grandiose like a large city but rather a single table with a single book.
The book was decorated with a small lock that didn't have an opening for a key.
Raising her eyebrow, Shiro picked up the book and felt a small prick on her finger. Despite her physique reaching a stage that most things couldn't hurt her anymore, this was somehow still able to draw blood.
Watching her blood get absorbed by the book, the lock eventually opened with a click and the book was opened.
*BOOM!!!
Suddenly, a neon blue light filled the room as holographic text could be seen spewing out of the book, forming paragraphs upon paragraphs of writing that floated around her.
Countless diagrams, formulas, spell circle theories and information was written out as everything tried to force their way into Shiro's mind.
However, without her benefits as the First Born of Destruction available, she had to prematurely close the book for now.
"I can probably look into this when I go to Aarim. This might give some information on the other universe too." Shiro muttered to herself as she looked down at the book in her hands.
[Records of Chaos Energy (Rainbow +)]
A book that was created by the first person in the universe that achieved omniscience. While he was unable to write down all of his knowledge, this book contains all of his research on how to bring creation energy into this world without any backlash.
Storing it away into her inventory, Shiro make her way out of the building.
"Let's head back now, there's nothing else in this dungeon and I've got what I wanted." Shiro said as Nan Tian nodded his head and glanced back.
"Was he someone you knew? I couldn't hear what was being said since there was a barrier." Nan Tian asked.
"Yes he was, he was technically the first person I ever knew. He was the first one who found my prison and told me about the outside world. Though I think it's better to know him as the first to reach Omniscience." Shiro smiled as she started to tell Nan Tian about the stories that Isvelger had told her many many years ago.
Before they could even reach the tower, Nan Tian received a call on his phone.
Seeing that it's Kanae, Nan Tian raised an eyebrow and accepted the call.
"Hello? Did something happen?" Nan Tian asked.
"Yes, there's a slight… Hostage situation. I was doing my patrols outside of the city and it's probably better if you come here. My speed and power is a little… low to deal with them with the usual method unfortunately." Kanae reported as Nan Tian could tell that she sounded dispirited.
Hearing that Kanae was a little too weak to deal with the situation, Shiro was rather curious and asked if she could talk to Kanae for a bit.
Nodding his head, Nan Tian handed over his phone.
"Sup, can you tell me the situation?"
"Shiro-nee?! When did you come back to- actually, never mind. Right now, me and my squad were tracking some slave traders that trade people between the remaining Queens. Some are even trading to cities that have been converted to holy cities for certain gods. One of my scouts managed to find a large transport vehicle full of slaves but the guards are too powerful. My scouts were captured and it seems like they don't know where we're from just yet so they're not being very cooperative. Usually I would take charge but as I said, I'm a bit too weak to deal with all of them so I'm asking if Nan Tian could send some reinforcements. If Shiro-nee is back then you could probably handle it by yourself if you're free." Kanae said as Shiro nodded her head.
"Sure, I can probably deal with it. I'm taking a small break anyways. Send me your coordinates and some of your documents regarding this case, I'll read up on it."
"Mn, I'll send you the stuff now, see you soon Shiro-nee."
Cutting the call, Kanae send over the documents while Shiro gave Nan Tian his phone back.
"Already getting yourself some work I see." Nan Tian chuckled as Shiro shrugged.
"Well I like to keep myself busy. Anyways, it's teleporter 4-6 and I'll need to travel north from there. Doesn't seem to be too far." Shiro muttered while scanning the information Kanae had sent over.
After she had left Asharia, Kanae picked up some clues on several gangs of slave traders that kidnap people from cities and those that camp outside of cities. With how some of the Queens operated along with the habits of Gods, the slave traders found themselves new patrons that are willing to grant them protection, making it easier for them to go about their business.
The one that Kanae had tracked was a new group of slave traders that had started to encroach on the zones near Asharia, making their presence known. This was the first conflict between them and had Shiro not come back, Nan Tian would have probably sent Shiina and other pilots of the Machine Legion to deal with it.
"This group doesn't have a name yet it seems, just a bunch of idiots that banded together to earn some protection from Gods and Queens. Well considering how the world is now, they probably have no choice. I'll ask them a few questions when I get there and see how it goes. Their answers will determine their fate." Shiro said as she stretched her body.
Waving her hand, she swapped out her outfit and changed her appearance slightly so that they don't know who she is while also disguising her name tag.
[Sera LVL 500 Healing Sage.]
With her false identity covered, Shiro gave Nan Tian a wave before dashing towards the teleport circle.
Seeing this, Nan Tian couldn't help but smile seeing Shiro being rather carefree since she had been under a lot of stress before.
"I should probably organise a small transport party and make some room in Asharia to welcome some new citizens. They might be traumatised by what's happened to them so far so a few therapists should also be there to help." Nan Tian muttered as he started to organise a small part to clean up after Shiro and help those that she saves.

Stepping through the gates, Shiro travelled north and found Kanae sitting on a cliff watching several trucks drive away with people standing on top of each one, guarding the 'shipments'.
"Shiro-nee." Kanae greeted as Shiro nodded.
"Have any of your subordinates been harmed yet?" Shiro asked as Kanae shook her head.
"No, they've been taken to the first truck for questioning. I'm not sure if they're going to use them as slaves or kill them but they're still alive for now." Kanae replied.
"Gotit. Well done for keeping your cool. Let your big sis handle it now." Shiro grinned as she patted Kanae's hair.
Stepped off the cliff, Shiro pushed off the cliff face and launched herself into the distance.
Flying past the trucks without the guards noticing, Shiro landed on their path and stomped down.
The ground suddenly ruptured as the trucks pulled their breaks just in time.
All of the guards simultaneously jumped off and faced Shiro with a frown on their faces.
"Well hello boys, I heard that you guys are carrying some shipments for Gods and Queens. Care to stop what you're doing and surrender? I promise you that there are better things for you to do. The city of Asharia will provide with you proper work without resorting to slavery. There's no need to act like savages." Shiro offered with a smile.
However, all of them proceeded to attack without a second thought.
Glancing at their levels, Shiro could see that their average was around level 850, very high for people in the new age and knew that they must have achieved it thanks to their patrons. For Kanae, it's obvious that she would have struggled a lot with so many of them being higher level than them along with hostages at their disposal.
Shrugging her shoulders, Shiro stretched her body and started to walk forward with a small smile.
Flickering in front of her, one of the guards swung his sword that Shiro didn't even both to block.
"CLANG!!!!
Bending at an angle, the sword failed to cut into Shiro's skin and warped due to the strength of the wielder.
Seeing this, the guard widened his eyes in shock and jumped back while spells were launched towards her.
Again, Shiro didn't do anything and allowed the spells to hit.
"Hm could use a bit more power. My daughter's spicy food packs more punch than your spell." Shiro chuckled.
"Now, what do you think about my offer? It's not too late to surrender yourselves."
