Offer blocks to the end times

I originally planned to continue with Dragon Maid after the final journey, but after rewatching it, I found that the main characters and their group were having a really tough time there. So, following the chain of cause and effect, I found a new one, with an incredibly long name, also set in the apocalypse.

Speaking of the future world, I've thought a lot about it. Following the chain of cause and effect, I found even more worlds, all of which are quite famous. I'll leave that for everyone to guess later.

After the book was published, there were ten chapters on the first day, and five chapters for the next four days. This is all the result of working myself to the bone these past few days. I originally started writing 6000 words a day, then 8000, and recently I started challenging myself to write more.

I feel so tired, so I'm returning 8,000 chapters. After running out of drafts, it became a daily routine of posting bounties. I usually post two or three chapters a day, and if I get a lot of votes, I'll post four or five.

The editor said it would be available on Friday, so I wrote this and would also like to ask for your subscription.

Chapter 246 Beasts of the Ground

“Sending you there is no problem at all,” Senju scratched his head, then said with some distress, “Although I got a map, I don’t know the location of Floating Island No. 15, or the exact time of the battle.”

"As for the location, I have a good person who can give directions," William said after thinking for a moment, "but the time should be in three days, the exact time is uncertain."

"That would allow Chtholly and the others to carry communicators so they can call us when needed," Senju thought of the mirror from their last exploration, which would make it easy to know the battle scene.

“No, the battlefield is covered by a barrier, a layered suppression array, which makes communication impossible,” William waved his hand. “Besides, it’s dangerous to be distracted during battle.”

“Is that so? Okay, I agree. But you have to find a reliable person,” Senju thought for a moment and agreed. “It’s a good opportunity to test the speed of the spaceship.”

“You know that guy too, it’s Greg,” William said, relaxing after hearing Thousand Hands agree. He then told Thousand Hands who he had in mind.

“Well, Greg should be very familiar with the terrain, and with my map, it should be fine,” Senju thought for a moment, then realized that there was still something between her and Greg that hadn’t been resolved. “But speaking of Greg, it seems there’s something else going on.”

“It’s the result of the last expedition,” William reminded him, then smiled. “Thanks to that expedition, my debts have been completely wiped out, and I even have a considerable income.”

“Yes, yes, that’s it. I borrowed money from Nigolan during the day. I’m in a real financial bind right now,” Senju thought of what happened during the day. He had actually forgotten about such a large sum of money.

"When those items were delivered to the Winged Army headquarters, the people there were extremely excited, especially the Reptilian race who manufactured gunpowder weapons, who offered a high price," William seemed to recall the scene that day.

Senju looked at him with some resentment. She had no idea about this information. "Speaking of which, where's the money?"

"As for the money, it should be ready soon. After all, it's a large sum of money, and everyone can get two million," William chuckled softly. "Perfect timing. I'm going to see Greg tomorrow, so you can come along too."

“Tomorrow? Tomorrow won’t do. Chtholly and the others are going on an expedition. Aren’t you going to see them off?” Thousand Hands looked at William speechlessly. Was he concerned about Chtholly or just unwilling to give up? “Also, a batch of my supplies will be delivered tomorrow. You should go and talk to Greik first. It would be best if you could bring the funds back as well.”

“Alright,” William nodded, then left, leaving Thousand Hands watching.

After he left, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency, wondering if his spaceship could survive in battle, and that it needed to be modified.

After thinking for a while, Senju started fishing, while discussing with Number Six in his mind. The final conclusion was to use enchanting and a spell furnace for modification. After the discussion, Senju was also full of expectations for the supplies that would arrive tomorrow.

After some time, Senju saw that no one came, so he went to sleep, somewhat disappointed.

The next day, William was nowhere to be seen in the morning, as was Nigoran. Senju and several little girls went to see Chtholly and the others off, while Chito and the others stayed at the facility to take care of the remaining children.

Chtholly and the others were dressed in military uniforms and light armor, with their holy swords wrapped up on their backs, and looked ready for battle.

After waiting at the dock for a while, they saw a military airship land. They first carried out several boxes for handover, and then they saw them board the airship.

“Well then, we’re leaving,” Asya said with a smile as usual, waving to those who came to see her off. Nephren also nodded to say goodbye, and Chtholly waved to everyone. Then the three of them went inside, and the airship left.

"I hope they can return safely," Senju said, watching the three depart. Nigolan nodded beside her, "They will definitely return safely."

"Yes, they'll definitely come back safely," the girls who were seeing them off shouted.

Then Senju's attention turned to the box. "What's inside this time?"

"Hmm, a super-large sorcery furnace, a floating magic circle, magic ore, animated puppets, and some other items," Nigolan read out the list that had been sent over. This was the response from the other party after the Thousand Hands made their request.

“Yes, with these, it should be enough to modify the spaceship,” Senju nodded, then packed up all the boxes.

Everyone then returned to the warehouse, but the children weren't very enthusiastic, as were the younger ones. It wasn't until they started playing ball that the group of little girls became happy.

After watching from the window for a while, Thousand Hands began his magical modification project. The magic furnace could provide another energy source for the spaceship, the floating magic circle could make the spaceship travel at low speed or even hover, and the animated puppets could serve as crew members to perform some maintenance and control.

Then, Qian Shou combined the items, and the final product looked similar to the original spaceplane, but it was covered with strange patterns and looked extremely mysterious. Only now could it be said that this was a spaceship.

Afterwards, Senju began to try flying. This time, he had already informed Nigoran, and Ishii, who was working in the workshop, saw this and also wanted to participate in the experiment. Senju nodded in agreement.

After the two entered the spaceship, they saw several dark gray puppets moving around, with some machines assisting them. Guided by the machine, they arrived at a separate room with a row of control chairs and a row of computers in front of them. After they sat down next to each other, Senju saw several projections appear in front of them, showing the situation outside.

Then, Number Six read and filtered Senju's thoughts in his mind, and the spaceship took off silently. A few dozen seconds later, the floating island below became very small. A few dozen minutes later, the spaceship broke through the atmosphere and entered outer space.

"It's so beautiful," Ishii said, looking at the scene outside. Although the sun was on one side, he could still see the light of other stars, and the whole starry sky looked extremely mysterious.

However, when the camera turned to the planet below, both of them frowned. What could be seen on the screen was a pale gray planet with a spiral green line on it, which should be a group of floating islands. Apart from this green line, the rest of the area, except for the clouds, was all gray.

"It seems this planet has been destroyed as well," Ishii zoomed in on the image, observing the dry, sandy surface. Sometimes he could even see long, monstrous creatures standing upright on the ground; those must be the legendary Seventeen Beasts.

Chapter 247 Beasts on the Ground

"By the way, what weapons are on the spaceship?" Senju started contacting Number Six, and then found a row of buttons next to him: short-range rapid-fire cannons, medium-range laser emitters, long-range missiles and nuclear bombs. The effective ranges were also marked. The short-range one was only a few hundred meters, the laser range was within ten kilometers, and the missiles and nuclear bombs had a range of three thousand kilometers.

"What are these?" Ishii asked, looking at the buttons Senju was studying. Senju looked up at her. "These are the various weapons on the spaceship. I want to try and see if I can eliminate those beasts here."

"Hmm, I wonder if these monsters can withstand these weapons," Ishii said, studying the weapons as well.

After a while, the two decided to launch a missile to test it out. After locking onto the beast, they pressed a button, and an exit opened at the bottom of the spaceship, from which a missile flew towards the ground.

Beside the two, another image appeared, a view taken from the missile. After a while, traces of the beast appeared on the screen, followed by a flash of bright light, and the original image turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Looking at the ground

The beast had disappeared without a trace, and Senju nodded in satisfaction. However, before he could say anything, more than a dozen beasts appeared in the scene. They seemed to have been lurking around and had been attracted by the sound of the explosion.

Moreover, as time went on, the number of beasts on the ground increased, appearing densely packed and disgusting. Senju launched several more missiles, but apart from killing a bunch of them, the total number didn't seem to decrease. The two felt a chill in their hearts, and Senju subconsciously moved his hand to the nuclear missile button.

“Don’t use this weapon,” Ishii grabbed Senju’s hand. “Although it can eliminate some monsters, it will be more dangerous to the people on the island.”

"Phew," Senju finally came to his senses after being reminded by Ishii. Indeed, launching a nuclear missile could wipe out the entire group below, but there would definitely be many survivors around. If they mutated under the radiation, it would be troublesome.

“I understand,” Senju patted Ishii’s hand and then hugged her. “Don’t worry, I also know the dangers of this kind of weapon. Besides, this is a matter for this world, so let’s not interfere.”

“Hmm,” Ishii responded softly, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly changed. At this moment, a scene of dazzling starlight in space appeared on the screen next to them. Ishii looked at the scene, seemingly mesmerized. “It’s so beautiful. I really want to go and take a look.”

"This is the mysterious universe! The twinkling stars represent infinite distances," Senju said, gazing longingly at the starlight. Although this spaceship was already fast, it was still considered extremely slow in the cosmic realm. "Once we build a real spaceship, we can travel freely through the universe."

“Yes, even the nearest star is several light-years away, so we need to build the spaceship as soon as possible,” Ishii turned to look at Senju seriously, his eyes revealing expectation and longing.

"Yes, definitely," Senju looked down at Ishii and lowered her head. The two kissed, their movements becoming increasingly intense. After being cooped up in the facility for several days, the two finally seized their opportunity here. Their clothes disappeared one by one, followed by a great chaos.

After the chaos subsided, the two rested for a while before setting off back to the island. When the spaceship landed, the little girls who had been playing ball on the playground all started watching.

Ishii saw that they had reached the ground, but she didn't want to get off immediately. Instead, she started to study the spaceship, so Senju had no choice but to get off first.

When Senju came down, they huddled together and discussed for a while, then sent out Ke Rong, "Hey, Senju, do you want to play with us?"

"Play?" Senju's eyes followed the ball on her body as it moved up and down, then he remembered that this was a group of violent lolis, and quickly shook his head. "I don't really know much about ball skills. Let's wait for William to come back and play with him."

“Sigh, but William doesn’t want to play. He ran to the kitchen and is doing something mysterious,” Ke Rong frowned, then laughed cheerfully. “So, Qian Shou, you have to play with us.”

"Hey, do you guys know who's standing here? Do you know what I just did? If we keep playing like this, we might get into big trouble," Thousand Hands thought to himself, but a troubled smile appeared on his face. "Ah, I remember now, I also have something to discuss with William."

"Oh, right, there's dessert with dinner," Senju said quickly, seeing the group of lolis looking a little dissatisfied. The lolis cheered and went back to playing.

"Phew," Senju breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the little girl run away. He realized he still needed to work on his magic power, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if he couldn't even catch a little girl's ball.

When Senju arrived in the kitchen, she saw many half-finished products on the table. William was looking at the sky outside. After a while, Senju heard him speak to the sky, "Elmeria... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

Then he saw him bowing to the sky in apology. Senju, who was standing at the door looking confused, went over and asked, "What's wrong, William?"

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things from the past," William wiped his eyes, turned around and gave a forced smile. "By the way, where did I see you earlier?"

"I just tested my spaceship, and it seems to be working perfectly," Senju said without pressing further, recounting her experience testing the spaceship. Then, looking at the materials laid out on the table, she asked, "By the way, what are you making? Desserts?"

"Yes, a simple dessert that kids love, a cream cake," William introduced his upcoming creation. "Butter, flour, milk, and eggs, all combined to make a dessert that kids will love."

“Oh,” Senju nodded, but he didn’t quite understand. He could use the system to make cakes, but he couldn’t actually make cakes. So he just watched William get busy.

"By the way, what did Greg say?" Thousand Hands remembered William's purpose for going out. William pointed to a suitcase on the side, "That's the money Greg gave you, and he readily agreed to my request."

"That's good. I've seen quite a few beasts," Senju said with some emotion as he packed the box into his pack. "I really don't know where those monsters came from. They're like zombies, and you can't kill them all. No wonder all the races on the ground have gone extinct."

Chapter 248 Magic Classification

"Zombies? What are those? Are they one of the Seventeen Beasts?" William asked curiously after hearing what Thousand Hands said. "I've heard of them often, but I've never actually seen a real one."

"Well, those are different things. Zombies are something from a movie. There's a toxin in the movie that turns humans into living corpses, and people bitten by zombies also turn into zombies. They're completely different from beasts," Thousand Hands explained from the side.

“I see. It feels similar to the necromancy plague in necromancy,” William said after listening. “My former comrades have defeated quite a few necromancers.”

"So it really is a necromancer. By the way, are there many categories of magic here?" Thousand Hands asked with some surprise. Although he had guessed that there were many categories, he was still unclear about the exact categories.

“Well, there are Nen, Ki Slash, Vine, Precognition, Alteration, Curse, Illusion, Telekinesis, Healing, Elemental, and many more,” William said before stopping. “By the way, I’m most familiar with Nen and Ki Slash, which can be matched with sword skills.”

"I see," Senju said, somewhat surprised by the variety of magic, then thought of something, "Could the beasts on the ground be a new kind of magic invented by humans in the past, which then went out of control?"

“Probably, otherwise the people on the entire floating continent wouldn’t say that it was humans who destroyed the surface world,” William didn’t want to discuss the issue any further and turned to look at Senju. “Well, those are things of the past. What’s important now is the cake. The children are waiting for it.”

"Should I make some too?" Senju asked, wanting to help, but William shook his head speechlessly. "No, no, no, if you make them, the little ones will be full very quickly."

"Haha, because that's very simple," Senju laughed, then made a few cakes, shook them, and packed them away. "You can continue making them here; I'm going back to eat some cakes."

William was speechless for a moment, then remembered something, "Oh right, Greg will be coming tomorrow, so be prepared."

"I understand, everything is ready," Senju replied and left.

After leaving, Senju found himself with nothing to do. Chito and Yuri were asked by Nigoran to look after the children, while Ishii was conducting research on the spaceship. Senju returned to his cabin, ate cake, and began studying the things in his own space.

The small space is now quite large. Thousand Hands even took the opportunity to go back there a few times to replenish a large amount of soil and also developed a special technique.

As long as you bite the space's exit towards the ground, you can get a huge pile of soil. As the space grows larger, the area where the exit opens also increases. Now it can swallow a piece of ground more than ten meters wide in one gulp.

With this skill, Thousand Hands can impersonate a space-type mage and trap people inside, although it won't harm them.

The space is now about the size of a village, and a river has begun to appear on one side. However, there is still a lot of bare soil on the ground, and the grass is scattered here and there. It seems that it will take time.

However, there are still patches of farmland on the ground, where various crops and vegetables are grown. There is also a sapling area around which a forest will eventually be formed. The newly produced goods are placed in boxes next to them, and there are already more than a dozen boxes in the area.

Besides plants, Thousand Hands also put some animals inside—sheep, pigs, chickens, and horses—allowing them to roam freely. Thousand Hands wanted to see if he could transform them into blocky creatures.

Looking at the neat and tidy space, Thousand Hands suddenly had a wicked thought: since Number Six can automatically harvest, can it automatically fish?

“Sure,” Senju heard Number Six’s reply. Then, the fishing rods in his bag disappeared, and a row of fishing rods appeared in the space, where he started fishing continuously.

"This is fully automatic," Senju wanted to complain, but feeling that he was being hypocritical after getting a good deal, he stopped and started cultivating his magic power on the side.

At dinner, William served a bunch of small cream cakes to the little girls. Senju casually took out a cake and ate it with Yuri and the others. However, after finishing the small cakes, the children soon set their sights on the big cake.

Then, as if swept away by a whirlwind, all the cakes the two had taken out disappeared. Yuri was very unhappy to see her food being taken away, until Senju indicated that she had plenty more, and then she stopped.

In the evening, Yuri came over to eat cake, and Senju ate some too. However, Yuri then ran away with the cake, seemingly to share it with Chito.

However, the next day, Nigolan came to the door and warned Senju. Only after Senju promised not to harm the children did she leave in a huff.

Watching Nigoran leave, Senju wiped away a cold sweat. When facing her just now, he felt completely suppressed and had no chance to resist. Could this be the legendary 'aura'?
