Offer blocks to the end times

While Senju was practicing his 'momentum' by glaring inside the house, William brought Grik there as well.

"Good morning, William, Greg," Thousand Hands said as he opened the door after hearing the knock and saw William and Greg standing outside carrying their belongings. He quickly invited them in.

"Good morning," the two responded, and the three of them sat down at the table. Grik also took out a scroll and placed it on the table.

It was spread out on the board, with a map drawn on it, which looked like the entirety of the floating continent.

“I won’t go into your plans. Since William thinks he can handle the beasts, I won’t say anything more,” Glick said helplessly, looking at William. Then he pointed to a spot on the map. “This is Floating Island Fifteen, but it’s completely sealed off now. How do we get in and out?”

“Of course, I’ll go through Senju’s airship. Once I get there, I’ll jump off,” William said after thinking for a moment. Senju added, “That way, Ishii can provide William with a wingsuit and parachute, which will be safer.”

"What is a wingsuit?" William asked curiously. Senju explained that it was a suit similar to a glider, which allowed you to adjust your direction in the air.

However, William shook his head and disagreed after hearing this, "There's no need for that. I can change direction in the air by pressing down with my sword. Besides, the parachute is too slow and it's easy to be attacked in the middle."

"If we don't use anything, then the landing altitude will be a problem," Senju said with some distress. He didn't want to get too close to the dangerous island.

“No problem,” William said after thinking for a moment. “Although I can’t fly, I can stay airborne for short periods of time. Jumping from a few hundred meters down won’t be a problem.”

“A few hundred meters?!” Greik and Thousand Hands exclaimed from the side, their voices seeming to tighten. They exchanged a glance and saw the meaning in each other's eyes: “What a monster.”

“So now the problem is the playing time,” Greg scratched his head. “Although I don’t want to dampen the enthusiasm, the whole battle will last for several days. No matter what, we can’t just keep an eye on things all day. Also, what if those girls successfully defeat the enemy?”

“That would be best,” William said, resting his chin on his hands, “but I’m worried about something unexpected happening…”

“There aren’t that many possibilities. I understand how you feel, but anything can happen. In those situations, the girls will have to overcome them,” Greg said somewhat excitedly, seemingly not entirely convinced by William.

“I know all this, but I don’t want to be someone who just waits at home. I want to be someone who’s on the battlefield,” William said. After he finished speaking, he saw the two of them looking at him with ambiguous eyes, so he quickly explained, “After all, I owed the owner of that sword several favors in the past.”

“Yes, yes, we understand,” Thousand Hands and Greg laughed, then Thousand Hands stood up. “There’s no point in talking about it here. Let’s go to the spaceship and try it out before making any further plans.”

“That’s true,” Greg stood up as well. “I don’t have much hope for this plan to show up and save the girl when she’s in danger.”

"Well, it's good that Chtholly and the others are safe," William said lazily as he followed.

After Senju led the two to the spaceship, they saw Ishii still busy inside. Judging from her appearance, it seemed that she was drawing a structural diagram of the spaceship.

"Hey, Ishii, get ready, we're going to take off," Senju called out when he saw her, and the two people next to him greeted her as well.

"Should we go to space again?" Ishii stopped taking notes and looked at the stack of notes in her hand with some hesitation. "I just finished collecting the structural diagrams of the entire spaceship and I want to organize them."

"I see," Senju said with some regret. "Then let's go up into space together next time, and while we're at it, let's go see the moon."

"Okay, I'll wait. Be careful," Ishii said, straightening Senju's clothes before disembarking. The two people beside him watched the situation without saying anything more.

A short while after Ishii disembarked, the three of them arrived at the control room. Senju arranged seats for the two of them, but of course, all the buttons on their seats were useless and would only work when Number Six gave permission.

William and Greg put their bags aside and looked curiously at the style of the control room.

With a jolt, the spaceship took off, and several images appeared in front of the three. After Thousand Hands taught the two for a while, they began to skillfully control the zoom in and out of the images.

After flying upwards for a few minutes, Glick found many floating islands and began searching for them. As the altitude increased, the area displayed on the image became larger.

“This is Island Number Two. I heard no one has ever been inside,” Greg said, pointing to a spot in the picture, but it was shrouded in mist, obscuring the view.

"Is this Island Number Two?" William asked, watching from the side. "It's quite mysterious. I've heard many legends about it."

"What are you talking about?" Senju asked, looking at the white cloud in the distance. But at that moment, the two of them shouted at the same time, "Watch out!"

Then, Senju felt the ship drift, and then he saw a long whip of light suddenly emerge from the second island in the scene. It was emitting some black gas and seemed to have fixed the ship in place. Then the end of the whip of light quickly shortened, and a person wearing a white robe with a black rock floating next to him approached.

"Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to our planet?" Senju felt an aged voice echoing in his mind, followed by a close-up of the voice on the screen, showing long, light yellow hair and a beard.

His aged face had sharp eyes, and the white robe he wore over it made him look quite handsome.

“You have a good eye. I am the Great Sorcerer of Polar Stars,” the old and proud voice rang in his mind again. The black stone in the morphing process also floated around. But at this moment, William suddenly spoke up, “Ah, is that Swan? It’s been a long time. By the way, your appearance has changed a lot.”

"Black Agate Sword Demon?!" The serious old man in the picture twisted his face, seemingly extremely surprised, and then Senju felt the word echo in his mind.

Before Senju could react, the other party approached the hatch, knocked on it, and the hatch opened. Then, as if he knew the route very well, he found the control room in no time. The puppets and machines around him did not hinder him.

When Senju regained consciousness, he saw that the man was already standing at the door, looking as if his jaw had dropped. "Is it really you, Black Agate Sword Demon?"

“It’s been a long time since anyone called me that. You’ve grown quite a bit taller, though. I wouldn’t have recognized you if it weren’t for the robes,” William said, sitting there with a smile as he looked at the old man at the door. “Long time no see, Grandmaster Polaris. We both look very healthy, isn’t that good?”

“Great Sage?!” Grik seemed to recognize the other party. He seemed to be a very famous person, but unfortunately, Senju did not know any information about him.

Then the old man and William began to talk, and Thousand Hands learned that the old man's name was Swann Kandel, a member of the hero team formed five hundred years ago to fight the Star God, and a super powerful sorcerer.

After quietly asking Grik next to him, he whispered to Senju what he knew: the old man was the sage who tore the floating continent apart from the ground and brought countless lives to the sky, and was also the leader of the floating continent civilization.

William then recounted his experience to the other party, who seemed quite excited and surprised. "Petrified on the ground? I couldn't detect your heartbeat at all back then. I thought you were dead."

“Because he’s petrified, his heart isn’t beating,” William explained from the side, while Swan grabbed him and shook him. “Give me back the tears I shed that day.”

"Hmm, did you shed tears for me?" William looked at the Great Sage, who looked like a sulking child, which greatly surprised Greg, whose image of the wise and great sage crumbled halfway.

Chapter 250 Black Candle Master

“No, I would never do that for you. I knew you were unkillable, that’s right,” Swan shouted defiantly, though his demeanor was completely out of character.

“That’s true, but I’ve never heard of someone turning into stone and then coming back to life. I thought I was doomed,” William said, shrugging. “Besides, I wasn’t under an ordinary curse. It cost a lot of money to break it. Thanks to that, I lived in debt for a long time after I woke up.”

“This is utterly absurd,” Swan muttered, looking around. “That’s why I’m afraid of people like you.”

"Let's not talk about me for now. What's wrong with you? I heard that humanity was wiped out, and so much time has passed. Why are you still alive? Are the others still alive and well?" William began to press Swan for answers.

“What an impatient fellow. Although there are three questions, answering one is enough,” Swan said, lifting his shirt to reveal a large black hole in the center of his heart.

"What is this?" William asked, somewhat surprised.

“I was also killed in that battle five hundred years ago,” Swan said, straightening his clothes and looking at William seriously. “Our opponent was Lord Emerald Nail. Amysa and I were killed together.”

“However, at the moment of death, I cast a spell on myself to interfere with my life form, which is how I survived and didn’t have to die from external injuries or lifespan,” Swan explained before concluding, “So, I am no longer human.”

“I see,” William’s face seemed to darken a little, while Swan next to him called out with a touch of arrogance, “Let me make this clear first, don’t pity me, I’m very satisfied with myself right now.”

“No, I’m not sympathizing with you. Amysa’s death affected me more,” William said, rubbing his head for a moment before asking, “By the way, why did you suddenly run out?”

"Hey!" Swan shouted in dissatisfaction, then looked around. "I've been watching the land all these years, and I can't ignore what happened yesterday."

"What happened yesterday?" William asked curiously. Senju, standing beside him, explained sheepishly, "Yesterday, I test-flew once and, while I was at it, I saw some beasts on the ground and attacked them a few times."

“Yes, yes, that’s it. Those attacks were even more powerful than the Holy Sword. I used my precognition to get the relevant information, so I’ve been waiting here,” Swan said, then looked at William. “I didn’t expect to catch such a big fish.”

"Speaking of which, what weapons are on board?" William asked curiously. "Ordinary airships shouldn't have weapons that surpass the Holy Sword, right?"

"Well, as for weapons, there are several kinds, but it's hard to explain in words. Let me show you," Senju thought for a moment and moved the pictures on the side.

"Come here, where do you think would be a good place to conduct experiments?"

"Is this a map?" Swan squinted for a moment, then pointed to a location on it. "This is it. Although this used to be the sea, it has dried up, and there have been no signs of human habitation in the surrounding area."

“Okay, I’ll be right there,” Thousand Hands was about to start the spaceship when he found that it didn’t move. Swan slapped his forehead and said, “Right, the magic outside hasn’t been dispelled yet. Okay.”

Then Senju felt the spaceship start moving, but at that moment, Swan suddenly said to William, "By the way, there's someone here you need to meet."

"Huh?" William was somewhat surprised. "Are there still people from that time alive?"

“Although you may not want to see him, Lord Black Candle,” Swan’s voice rang out as a cloud of black mist drifted in, and a strangely shaped black stone floated over. Everyone then realized it was a huge black skull. “Long time no see, human hero.”

"Hahaha," the skull laughed like a demon king, its jaw opening and closing, "I never thought we'd meet again. But the tragedy is that we're destined to continue our mutual slaughter."

The Thousand Hands sitting next to him felt a pressure that was many times heavier than that of Nigoran. A strong wind seemed to be blowing around them. The drifting black mist must be magic. He never thought there was such a powerful existence.

“Speaking of which,” William rubbed his forehead, seemingly recognizing the other person, “am I having a nightmare?”

"I understand how you feel. Do you want me to wake you up?" Swan waved his hand maliciously.

“Then let’s forget about it,” William said speechlessly, then looked at the head emanating black energy. “We don’t need that kind of performance anymore.”

"Oh, really? How boring," the surrounding black mist suddenly dissipated, and the once majestic skull suddenly looked comical.

“Besides, what kind of posture is this?” William said unhappily, pointing at the skull. “The Black Candle Lord who fought me before was a living, breathing person, and the thing under his neck was perfectly fine.”

"Isn't it you who destroyed my body?!" Black Candle Master shouted unhappily. "When I woke up and found myself like this, do you know how surprised I was? And ever since then, I've been in a situation where I have to use my power, so I haven't had any time to recover."

"So that's how it is. So, you two were the ones who lifted the earth into the sky?" William asked after thinking for a while, though it was a question, he was quite certain.

"To escape the Seventeen Beasts, they had no choice but to use brute force to tear the earth apart, and it has been five hundred years since then," Swan said heavily from the side.

“I contributed 80% of the power, hahaha,” Black Candle Lord laughed triumphantly.

“We’ve arrived,” Senju said, bringing the spaceship to a stop. The image showed a yellowish-brown landscape below, with monsters crawling on it.

"Are these beasts? Where did they come from?" William stared blankly at the monsters in the image. Black Candlelight beside him spoke up, "This is the sin of humanity, and it all started in ancient times..."

“By the way, do you remember the True World Re-thinking Choir?” Swan suddenly interrupted Black Candle Lord. After thinking for a moment, William said, “Ah, there was such a group of guys. I remember they were a religious armed group that we wiped out.”

“Yes, that’s them,” Swan said with a serious expression. “Those beasts are the biological weapons they created from their failed experiments.”

"I see. That's why people say that humans are the culprits behind the destruction of the earth," William said after hearing the explanation, finally understanding the reason behind this long-standing saying.

Chapter 251 The Sage's Yearning for the Earth

“Yes, it was humans who destroyed the earth,” Swan said with a serious expression, seemingly unwilling to elaborate further. He looked at Thousand Hands to the side, “But now let me witness the power of this strange airship. That’s the most important objective of this trip. We can talk about the rest when we get back.”

“Hmm,” William also began to shift his attention. Although this matter had greatly shocked him, perhaps because he had heard it so many times, he deeply believed his old friend’s words.

"Yes, it's ready," Senju said, then zoomed in on the projected image so everyone could see. After locking onto a beast, a devastating beam of light struck the beast, turning it to ashes and creating a hole in the ground.

“Oh, that’s pretty powerful,” Swan exclaimed, looking at the ground. “It’s probably about 30% of Percival’s power when it’s sharpened.”

“Hmm, looks about the same,” William said, studying the image as well. “But it’s much farther away than Percival’s.”

"It's not over yet," Senju said, looking at the two of them. He felt a little unconvinced. Although his physical abilities were inferior to theirs, were his weapons inferior?

In particular, when several beasts ran out from the ground, Thousand Hands activated several laser generators in succession and began to sweep the ground. Most of the beasts on the ground were burned to ashes, but some were left behind, and those immediately regenerated into new monsters.

“What tenacious creatures,” William said in astonishment as he watched the beasts regenerating on the screen. “No wonder the races on the ground were destroyed. With so many beams of light, even Black Candle King would have been killed.”

"What did you say?" Black Candle Master shouted unhappily.

"Don't think you can defeat me with those lousy holy swords. That beam of light just now couldn't even penetrate my skin, hahahaha."

“No, no, I was just using an analogy,” William said speechlessly, waving his hands repeatedly as he looked at the skull amusing itself.

“Are these all the weapons? They look different from yesterday’s,” Swan turned to look at Thousand Hands, his attitude completely different from William’s.

“Don’t scare him, Swann,” William said lazily from the side. “He’s a human being too.”

"Humans?!" Swan seemed surprised, then remembered something. "I think I received a report about the existence of another world and humans from that world. Could it be referring to you?"

“It must be me, Great Sage,” Senju bowed to him, then said with some curiosity, “I thought you already knew about such an important report.”

“Well, as people get older, they can’t remember many things,” Swan immediately put on an old-fashioned air. “Besides, there have been too many false reports lately. There’s even a warehouse that claims to have people there who manufacture and repair the Holy Sword. That’s ridiculous.”
