"My Queen! We've found one of the Queens and they're stronger than what we had expected!" A man burst into what seemed to be a throne room.

"Oh? Who is she? Is she good or bad?" A young woman asked as she looked towards the man.

Her long black hair flowed behind her as her emerald eyes shimmered with curiosity.

"She is definitely good. While I'm not sure if she is neutral, chaotic or lawful good, I know that she isn't evil from what we've seen so far." The man replied.

"You even got footage of her?"

"Mn, it seems like someone is broadcasting her actions to the world. Those that she had helped are using this footage to run." The man nodded.

Bringing out a tablet, he presented it to the woman as she can see Shiro controlling the souls and sending them back to their bodies before preventing them from dying. Narrowing her eyes at the golden barrier, the Queen was speechless since she understood that having the barrier meant that all damage was redirected to her.

The runes were familiar to her after all but it was impossible. This kind of rune was unique to her garden and she had never seen it in any other place.

'How did she get that rune…' The queen thought with surprise before shaking her head.

How she got the rune wasn't important to her. What's important was that she was reviving them not as undead but living breathing people. Their souls weren't changed but fully restored.

"Do you know what she governs? Her powers are similar to mind but they're much warmer than turning everyone into undead." The woman smiled softly as her impression of this Queen was quite good.

"We don't know as we don't have enough information. But it seems like she has recruited demons, spirits, elves and humans to work under her."

"Oh? Isn't that similar to what we're trying to do?" The Queen raised her eyebrow.

"Indeed. Perhaps we should send a messenger over to her once the transition period is over." The man suggested.

"Mn, make that our priority once the transformation stops. For now though, let's also do our part. While we're protecting a few cities with our anchors, she's even helping those that don't have anchors, we shouldn't lose to her. Help me lead some people to the cities without anchors and help out. I'll protect the city by myself." The Queen smiled.

Hearing this, the man frowned.

"Are you sure?"

"It's fine. The more monsters we kill, the more guards we have. In a battle of attrition, I take the advantage against these monsters." The Queen smiled as a green fire appeared in her palms.

Waving her hand, a tier 6 magic circle appeared before her as the dead corpses started to move. Their flesh started to sew themselves together. After a few short moments, all the monsters that died were revived as undead.

'Ah… I want to meet this Queen.' She thought to herself as Shiro's power was what she had initially desired. While raising the dead was close, they still weren't proper living people. Without her anchor, she couldn't maintain everyone like this. However, if this new Queen could help her, they could properly revive the people that she turned into undead.

"Who the hell is this Queen. Is she really using her resources for others? What a f*cking joke." A woman narrowed her eyes as she sat upon a mountain of corpses.

"Perhaps, but it seems like the humans appreciate this gesture greatly. I suspect that she'll be able to bolster her ranks once the transformation ends." A man replied as the woman clicked her tongue.

"What's the point of surrounding yourself with weaklings that do nothing? If there was a powerful being in those cities I'd understand it, but this is just ridiculous. Regardless, keep an eye on her. For her to save this many people, she's definitely got a plan. Maybe it'll be a mass sacrifice hahaha!" The woman laughed as she slammed her hand down.

Suddenly, a golden fire erupted out as the pile of corpses disappeared in an instant.

"Let's go, we got a few more ancient dragons that appeared nearby." The woman grinned as her fiery red hair fluttered behind her.

After placing down all 10 of her barriers, Shiro focused on developing a new mass healing spell with Silvia since there was a limit to what she could do in terms of revival.

The best thing she could do now was give them so much healing and defence that the monsters can't even harm them. Of course, they couldn't deploy the city's healers since they were focused on her.

"How are the evacuations going? Are they out of the city?" Shiro asked as she sensed Nan Tian approaching.

"It's going well. Most of them are out of the barrier but there are still a few unaccounted for. I've already grabbed a list of all those that are registered in the city but it seems like a few are stuck inside. I've already given their general location to the mechs so it's only a matter of time now." Nan Tian replied as not everyone could find an easy way out of the city with so many monsters.

Just because they can't die in the area doesn't mean they can't be thrown around like ragdolls. The mech pilots were trying their best but with only three assigned to each city, some only having one or two, it was difficult for them to cover for everyone.

"Just keep trying for now. Once me and Silvia finished developing this spell, I won't need to focus on redirecting the damage, which takes a charge of Grace. I just need to bring them back from death and Silvia will do the rest." Shiro nodded as Nan Tian sighed.

"Even though we expected this, the casualties are much higher than what we predicted. If we did nothing, I'd say all 10 cities would be destroyed and no one would survive. We're transporting a lot of citizens to the city right now so we might need an expansion quickly."

"I know. Just get Yin to send them into her rift for now. Unlike mine, her rift doesn't have a time limit and with how much food she has in there it should be fine for now." Shiro replied.

"Yin's already doing that. That was the first thing she told me when she recovered. That her rift can be used as a separate place for them to stay. But even with Yin's help, we're running out of space." Nan Tian scratched his head.

Asharia was big but fitting people from all 10 cities and possibly more was very difficult.

"Yeah just give me a moment. Instructing 20 plus mechs and developing a new spell is a bit difficult. Let me digest the information first." Shiro nodded as she was trying to think of new solutions.

The overall shape of Asharia was a little similar to an island if you look at it from the side. Most of the space below the top layer was hangers for the mechs as well as machinery. Fitting people in would be difficult.

Furrowing her brows, she had an idea.

"Wait…. The spirit world is similar to a reflection of the real world. With this city here, it means there is an identical Asharia in the spirit world." Shiro sat up as she quickly summoned a portal.

Stepping through the portal, her thoughts were correct as she was standing on Asharia. However, the machinery here couldn't be interacted with. But in terms of space, this was good enough for now!

Stepping out of the portal, Shiro flexed her fingers and created a few portal devices for Nan Tian.

"I want you to help me allocate some staff to the spirit world for now and keep track of everyone. Don't let them wander around since this is a temporary solution. We'll definitely need to expand the city and make new ones with anchors in the future but we don't have time right now. So for now, they can stay in the spirit world for safe refuge." Shiro explained as Nan Tian nodded his head.

"Sure."

Without saying anything else, he quickly rushed to where the refugees were staying.

Focusing back on the spell, Shiro continued to work as there was a rough tally of the casualties that the drones could see.

Seeing the number, she couldn't help but feel pity for them.

{It's quite sad isn't it? Even if the high level adventurers are trying their best, fighting tier 6 is still out of their league.} Nimue sighed as many died trying to give people a way to escape.

'Mn, Thankfully, the other Queens have their own strongholds and people are rushing there to get safe passage. Unfortunately, the Queens are asking for a contract in order for them to stay.' Shiro thought with a frown since they were exploiting this disaster.

Clicking her tongue, she marked down the Queens that were exploiting people so that she could pay them a visit later.
