Chapter 1024 Anchor Upgrade

Chapter 1024 Anchor Upgrade

"I would say that’s a bit of an overkill but why not. The sooner we end the new age, the faster everyone can enjoy something akin to peace I suppose." Iziuel chuckled as Shiro nodded her head.

Glancing back, she could see Nimue still chasing Attie as they were both much faster than the average adventurer.

"Attie, Nimue, we’ll be heading out of the mana realm now. Want to come?" Shiro called out as Atesh immediately did a sharp right turn and landed in front of Shiro.

"Sure! I want to see big sis again." Atesh nodded as Shiro patted his head.

"I’m sure they’re also excited to see you too."

"Also mum, I’m not a kid anymore so you don’t need to call me by my nickname." Atesh smiled but Shiro shook her head.

"Nope. My son is always a kid to me fufu. Of course if you don’t want me to call you Attie I can also just call you darling." Shiro chuckled as Atesh thought about it for a moment smiling.

"Fine you can call me Attie. Mum should use darling for her wife or husband."

Flicking his nose, Shiro rolled her eyes.

Joking around for a little bit longer, Shiro opened a portal as all three spirits appeared in her room while Nan Tian and Silvia were waiting by the side.

"Oh my, when did Attie grow so big." Silvia blinked her eyes in surprise.

"Evolution. It’s a shame that I couldn’t watch him grow slowly though." Shiro shrugged.

"That’s just how spirits are. I’ll go look for Estrella with Iziuel since we haven’t seen each other for a while now." Nimue chuckled as Shiro nodded.

Watching the two leave the room, Shiro turned back to Attie.

"What about you Attie?"

"I want to talk to Nan Tian alone for a bit."

"Alright. Just be careful since he is an injured patient." Shiro chuckled as Attie nodded his head.

Pushing the wheelchair out, Attie looked at Nan Tian and leaned against the wall.

"I still don’t like you." He frowned as Nan Tian scratched his head.

"But thank you for helping mum. Me, Aunt Nimue and Aunt Iziuel had to watch her suffer inside the mana realm without being able to do anything. If it wasn’t for you, mum might be in a worse state than she is now." Attie sighed.

"It’s fine. She’s been protecting us all this time so it’s only natural that I help her in her time of need." Nan Tian smiled as Attie nodded his head.

"I don’t know if I can help mum like you do since you saw that she couldn’t stay away for more than 10 minutes without hallucinating. It was hard for her in the library. Even though we’re here now, our presence might not have the same effect. So thank you, we’ll have a truce.." Attie said as Nan Tian chuckled.

"Did we even have a fight for a truce to be called, kid?" Nan Tian asked as Attie paused for a moment and realised that to him it was just a baby being a baby.

Clicking his tongue, he pouted for a moment before sighing.

"Well there’s a truce regardless. I’m going to go look for big sis Yin and big sis Lisa." Attie turned away and left Nan Tian behind.

Shaking his head with a humorous chuckle, Nan Tian moved his wheelchair back in the room and saw that Shiro was waiting with a smile.

"Seems like there’s a truce between you and Attie now." Shiro said with a smirk as Nan Tian shrugged.

"Seems like it."

"You might want to rest up a bit more. Now that I have my mana back, I’m going to make a few adjustments to the cities so that even the secondary city can run with just two anchors." Shiro smiled as Nan Tian raised his eyebrow.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be back before 10 minutes is up. I know my limits."

"Do you now?" Nan Tian asked with a smile.

"Well... I suppose that is debatable. Regardless, I’ll be right back. After I make some adjustments I want to test out more runes to my heart’s content since I have my mana back."

"Mn, have fun." Nan Tian nodded as Shiro coughed.

"I still need a refresh though." Shiro scratched her cheek as she sat next to him and held his sleeve.

"Do you think we can treat your trauma if we defeat the watchman?" Nan Tian asked as Shiro shrugged.

"I don’t know. But am I being a bother? Since I always have to grab onto you and everything." Shiro asked, as she knows that Nan Tian probably has things that he wants to do as well but instead he’s always been keeping her company so that she doesn’t have a panic attack.

"You’re not being a bother. I’m just happy that I can be helpful to you." Nan Tian chuckled as Shiro bit her lip and furrowed her brows.

"Isn’t there anything you want to do then? Since you’ve been staying by my side for a few months now." Shiro asked, feeling a little guilty.

"Well there are a few things but I’ve been dealing with them on the tablet. My main priority was you after all." Nan Tian chuckled as Shiro couldn’t help but cough lightly.

"Well look after yourself. I’ll go sort out the second city." Shiro said as she left the room.

Once she left the room, she quickly shook her head since she could feel her face heat up slightly.

Opening a portal to the secondary city, she teleported straight to the anchor point.

The main problem with the second city was that without the third anchor, the energy output had decreased by a lot and the two anchors were having a hard time keeping up.

With the runes that she had recently studied, she had an idea on how to potentially fix this so that the second city could be running at the same output as before but with two anchors.

Activating her analysis skill, Shiro glanced at the two anchors before drawing a rune in the air in front of her.

There were a total of 30 runes that she needed to draw for the anchor to increase its output and even then, it was just a theory.

Most of these runes are used for storing energy along with drawing more from the area around them. In addition to this, she had made it so that her teleport hall absorbs a little bit of mana from everyone that uses it. It’s not to the point that people will notice since it adjusts itself with each person.

With this, the runes will start filling up with mana and it’ll be able to offset some of the drain as emergency fuel.

Of course, this can also be saved up to fire a powerful weapon.

Drawing out the runes, Shiro couldn’t help but smile at the feeling of using runes belonging to gods while her mana continued to regenerate.

Thanks to the upgraded mana realm, she could keep going for hours without worry. Even a skill that would take 40% of her mana will be regenerated in mere moments.

Clasping her hands together, a string of energy weaved itself together as Shiro created a magic array to keep everything secure.

Continuing to add parts to the anchor, Shiro only took a step back after 5 minutes and saw the result.

Right now, it looked like a single orb of pure white but if one were to look carefully, they’ll notice the densely packed magic arrays with 30 runes acting as the core of the formation. Each of the runes had their own purpose and together they would power the secondary city to the same efficiency as Asharia.

Snapping her fingers, she connected all of the power channels to the new ’core’ as energy started to flow through the city.

Closing her eyes, she could sense the energy flowing to the rest of the city as she couldn’t help but smile.

"Right, that’s the first task done. I’ll need to adjust the primary city, add more mechs, construction bays for the mech parts, more defensive weapons as well as barrier modules for the city and power everything up like before." Shiro muttered as she opened another portal.

Teleporting to the core of Asharia, Shiro proceeded to do the same.

Since she had done the process once, she was a little more familiar with what she had to do so it was much faster this time, only taking her 3 minutes to complete.

Once she was finished upgrading the core, she massaged her eyes before teleporting to the military base so that she could add more parts.

Seeing the specialised mechs now showing some signs of use, Shiro smiled since this meant that Shiina and the others were continuing to improve their control over the specialised mechs.

Adding the new construction bays was as simple as waving a finger since her new mana realm allowed her to cast with better efficiency and control.

Glancing into her mana realm, Shiro couldn’t help but look towards the part that belonged to Error and wonder about what had happened.

’What gifted me the power to see time strands...’ She thought to herself as another portal opened beside her.

With only 1 minute left to her 10 minute limit, Shiro teleported back to her room.
