“She really wants to use the relic weapon to split the island in two and make Island Fifteen fall to the ground,” Asya said, watching Chtholly as if she wanted to know how Chtholly would do it.

"I should have acted first," Thousand Hands muttered. The island's collapse also benefited his relocation plan, so he started helping out from the sidelines.

Chtholly flew forward, constantly colliding with the monster's lasers along the way. She seemed to be trying to use the power inside to fully activate Senioris, but dozens of tentacles were attacking her all around.

Senju used the spatial rift to sever more than a dozen tentacles. Chtholly skillfully dodged the remaining dozens. Finally, she plunged the Holy Sword into the monster, but this time she did not choose to unleash her power on the monster. Instead, she directed her power towards the island below.

The holy sword emitted a strong light, which could be seen even inside the monster's body. Then, Senju heard a loud bang, and the island seemed to emit light. Then, Senju saw countless rays of light shooting out from the ground, and the entire island began to shatter.

"That's amazing!" Senju exclaimed in amazement as he watched Chtholly cleave the island in two, and he was also terrified that he had actually set his sights on Chtholly.

As the island crumbled, even though the monster kept gathering the surrounding rocks, it still fell down. However, Chtholly also seemed to have exhausted her strength and began to fall with the monster.

Before the Thousand Hands could react, Athena and Nephren rushed forward. Athena rescued Chtholly, while Nephren severed the tentacles attacking the two. The three then flew towards the Winged Army airship on the side.

Watching the three fly away, Senju quietly collected the fallen island fragments, and even collected the humanoid monster into his spatial dimension. However, after the monster entered the space, it did not cause much destruction, but instead shrank.

Then, to Senju's utter astonishment, the monster transformed into a villager. Upon seeing this, Senju couldn't help but curse, "Were these monsters originally human?"

Seeing another monster falling, he chased after it with his spaceship and put it into the space as well. The monster, which was originally made up of countless tentacles, quickly shrank in the space and then turned into a villager.

Looking at the two villagers in the space, Senju fell into deep thought. They were square in shape and wandered aimlessly, seemingly without souls.

After witnessing the entire process, Senju thought of many similar things. There seemed to be many monsters that were transformed from humans, and these monsters should also be the same, transformed from the bodies of humans here.

Only after discovering this did Senju understand why the humans here had suddenly perished: because the humans on Earth had all transformed into monsters.

After much thought, Senju felt a chill run down his spine. He wondered if this was caused by humanity itself or by other races. However, he couldn't let anyone find out that he knew about this, so he quickly activated his spaceship and fled the area.

Disturbed, Senju quickly returned to the 68th floating island. After disembarking, he encountered Nigolan, who was tending to her garden.

Seeing the panicked look on Senju's face, she immediately tensed up and grabbed Senju, asking, "What happened? Could it be Chtholly and the others...?"

Chapter 268 The Turmoil in the Secret Warehouse

"Hoo," Senju took a few deep breaths, then said to the anxious Nigoran, "Ctholly and the others are all fine, it's just that the operation on Island Fifteen failed."

"Ctholly and the others are alright," Nigolan released Senju, patted her chest, and then, remembering Senju's words, asked in surprise, "What happened? Did something happen on Island Fifteen?"

"During the battle, another monster appeared on the island, and the original sixth beast on the island was killed hundreds of times but still did not die, so the Winged Army believed that the operation had failed," Thousand Hands told Nigolan about what had happened there in fits and starts.

She seemed to understand immediately, and her face turned much paler. "So, Island Fifteen has become a den of beasts, and the surrounding islands are also in danger."

“No, there’s no need to worry about that at all,” Senju recalled the light that shattered the entire island. “Ctholly shattered Island Fifteen, and the two beasts fell to the ground.”

"Chopped apart?" Nigoran looked at Senju in surprise, then carefully touched his forehead, looking at him with pity. "Senju, you must be too tired to have such a hallucination."

"It's true!" Senju shouted angrily from the side, "I'm here..."

Then Senju's mouth was covered by Nigoran. "You're making too much noise. Calm down first."

“Phew, alright,” Senju said, looking at the children’s gazes around her. She sat there to calm herself down, and after a while, she stood up. “Nigolan, come with me. I have evidence.”

"What evidence?" Nigolan asked curiously.

They came up, and then the two went to the control room. Senju pulled up the video of Chtholly shattering the island and had Nigoran watch it there.

“These kids did their best,” Nigolan said, deeply shocked after witnessing the whole process. She seemed to understand why Senju had been so panicked earlier; he was probably astonished by the power of the Holy Sword.

"Hmm," Senju took out a pack of cigarettes and tried smoking it, but he was soon choked and coughed. Annoyed, he stomped the cigarettes into pieces and finally calmed down.

"Ctholly and the others are fine. They should be on Island Eleven by now. William and the others are also on Island Eleven. If possible, they will meet soon. So there's nothing else to do now. I'm going to rest for a bit," Senju said before leaving the spaceship.

Nigolan watched the cabin lights gradually fade into darkness before leaving. After seeing the expression on Thousand Hands' face, she began to fear that William would also show the same expression to the children.

Senju had no idea that he had left a bad impression on Nigoran. As he calmed down, he became almost ruthless, and a wicked thought began to surge in his mind: to destroy all the islands.

"Hey, Senju, you're back! Let's go out and play together!" Just then, Yuri ran out from the side, grabbed Senju's arm and shook it, instantly waking him up.

Senju looked at Yuri beside him and reached out to touch her face. "Yuri?"

“Yes, it’s me,” Yuri replied happily, then started swaying. “Hey, let’s find a place to play together.”

"Hahaha, okay," Senju looked at the person in front of him and suddenly laughed. He felt that he was really funny just now. The most important thing was the person next to him. He pulled Yuri and ran around. The two of them started to play wildly in the vicinity.

It wasn't until nightfall that the two returned to the facility covered in mud. Seeing their filthy appearance, Chihiro, who had just come out, had a headache and sent them to the bathhouse to take a bath.

Nigoran jumped in and told the two to shower separately, otherwise Senju and Yuri would have been taking a bath together long ago.

After taking a bath, the two changed into clean clothes and then ran out to eat dinner. Chito shook his head helplessly, wondering why Chito had gone crazy with Yuri today.

After the two finished their meal in high spirits, they ran back to their room and fell fast asleep. It was only then that Senju finally put the matter behind him.

The next day, after Thousand Hands got up, he remembered that he had bought quite a lot of things on Island Eleven. So he set them up and started shouting like a vendor on the playground.

A little while later, a group of little girls ran over and picked and chose their favorite items from the stall. Soon after, Yuri and Chito also came out. Seeing so many delicious things, the two couldn't help but drool.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Qian Shou clapped his hands and said, "There's still a lot of stuff. Everyone, take what you like."

“Great!” As Yuri started to work, the children around her also began to pick up snacks and choose accessories and toys. Occasionally, some conversations could be heard, such as, “Ah, this is the Lizard King’s badge from ‘Roar, Rajoni!’” and “This looks like the scale that the male protagonist shed in ‘The Number of Scales Is the Number of Love’.”

Hearing these words, Senju broke out in a cold sweat. Just how much lizard-related stuff had she bought? Wiping her sweat, she quickly told the children to hurry up and pick out the items. In the end, a bunch of children excitedly ran back into the house with toys and various trinkets, while there was still a pile of strange-looking things on Senju's stall.

Seeing that no one was interested, he prepared to put them away. Just then, Nigolan came over and looked at the surrounding items curiously, "Where did these things come from?"

"Ah, I bought these on Island Eleven to give to the children," Senju said, looking at the remaining items with some distress. "But there are still so many left, what should I do?"

“Thank you,” Nigolan suddenly bowed to Senju. “These children have never left this island and have never seen many things, so thank you for bringing so many things.”

“It’s not that serious,” Senju said speechlessly, looking at Nigolan who had suddenly become serious. After thinking for a while, she said, “How about I take everyone out to have a look around and learn about the other islands?”

“That won’t do. I’m a little embarrassed, but this is indeed a secret warehouse. According to the rules, the children can’t leave here at will,” Nigolan said helplessly to Senju. Recently, the atmosphere here has been stirred up by the newcomers, and it no longer resembles a secret warehouse.

“Oh right, this is a military facility. I completely forgot about that,” Senju remembered the name of the place. Then he looked at Nigolan carefully. “Why don’t you come work for me? Room and board included, plus bonuses.”

Chapter 269 The Young Fairy

"You're kidding, right?" Nigolan laughed after hearing Senju's words, then pretended to be seriously considering it. "Well, once I'm free here, I'll come to your place."

“Then I’ll wait,” Senju replied in the same joking tone, then he remembered something strange, “By the way, Nigolan, was this secret warehouse just built?”

"No, why do you think that?" Nigolan asked curiously, looking around...

The surrounding landscape tells us that this place has been here for a very long time.

"But the largest fairies I've seen are Chtholly and the others. Does that mean all the fairies bigger than them died in battle?" Senju scratched his head, though he felt it was a bad question, he still asked it anyway.

“Sigh,” Nigolan sighed, then looked at Senju, “Senju, how long do you think fairies live?”

"They should live longer than humans, at least two or three hundred years," Senju said after thinking for a moment. After all, fairies are legendary creatures, so it's normal for them to live two or three times longer than humans.

“That’s not how it is,” Nigoran shook her head slightly, making Zhen look at Senju. “Fairies have very short lifespans. According to records, the longest a fairy can live is thirty years, and many die in battle when they are only teenagers.”

"How is that possible! Do you think they would willingly sacrifice themselves at such a young age?" Senju looked at Nigolan in disbelief, feeling as if this was a joke.

“These children all know that, but fairies are just like that. They create their forms with magic and develop weapons specifically for using relic weapons. Neither they nor others care much about life. And even if they can only be used for a few years, that should be enough for the upper echelons,” Nigolan maintained a forced smile. “Besides, this is also for the survival of the floating continent. Only through their battles can ordinary people on the entire continent live happily.”

“It seems that only by leaving this world or completely eliminating the beasts can everyone be freed from the battle,” Thousand Hands sighed, then looked earnestly at Nigolan. “If that day comes, what will you and the others choose? Will you continue living like this?”

“We’ll see when the time comes,” Nigolan stretched out her arm, looking into the distance with longing. “That future should be coming soon.”

“Yes,” Senju knew she was referring to the world relocation plan, “but if Chtholly and the others resign, they can come work for me. I can help them remove the lifespan limit; a hundred years is not a problem.”

“That would be wonderful,” Nigolan said, a hint of interest in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

Nigolan then went to take care of the children, while Senju, who had chatted with her for a while, went to find Chito and the others. He wanted to take the three of them to Corinna Dirchi for sightseeing.

However, Senju clearly forgot one thing: the items he had taken out had already satisfied Yuri's appetite and curiosity. She was now having fun playing with the children and had no intention of going out at all.

Ishii was in a similar situation, but the reason was related to the airship manufacturing technology. After more than ten days of study, she finally mastered the basics and was now happily researching. Moreover, Ishii didn't like crowded places, so she somewhat apologetically declined the request for sightseeing.

After both of them refused, when Senju went to make a request to Chito, he thought of several reasons that he was sure would fool her.

When Senju found Chito, he discovered her engrossed in reading a book. Senju's heart sank; it seemed Chito's chances were slim.

"Hey, Senju, what book are you reading?" Senju asked from the side, thinking about how to start a conversation.

After looking up and seeing that it was Senju, Senju looked down at the book again. "This is a book that records the history of this place. It seems very interesting."

"How do you feel?" Senju asked Chito, who was reading attentively next to him, looking at the words he didn't recognize at all.

“Oh, it records that the founder of the entire civilization was a great sage. He took the people on earth to the sky to escape the threat of beasts, and then guided them to create civilization,” Qianhu said to Qianshou while flipping through the book. “The most important point is that the entire floating continent has not had a war for hundreds of years. It is simply an ideal paradise.”

"Really?" Senju sighed slightly. It was good that she didn't know the true nature of the beast. Then she looked at Chito and said, "I know a famous city with many famous stories. I want to go there. Do you have time, Chito?"

"That city?" Qianhu pulled out another book. "This book records all the famous cities around here, and their famous attractions."

"Who invented this little booklet that looks like a guidebook?" Senju complained, then said to Chito, "It's from Corinnadilchi City on Island Eleven."

“I know this city. I’ve heard many children mention it. It seems to have appeared in many movies. There are many attractions here,” Chito excitedly turned to a page in the book. On it was a picture of Corinthians, with a lot of text below.

“A place full of history, a jewel box under the sky, a stew pot of romance and legend,” Qianhu read the description, then looked at Qianshou excitedly. “There must be a lot of culture and stories there, and the clothes and food are also very interesting.”

"Really? You seem quite interested. Let's go sightseeing over there together," Senju patted her head and extended an invitation to Chito.

“Okay,” Chito nodded excitedly, then remembered Yuri, “Oh right, let’s invite Yuri and Ishii too.”

"Yes, but we need you to go this time. I just went to check, and Yu is having a great time playing with the kids," Senju said, shrugging. "Ishii is conducting research."

It seems I won't be able to concentrate lately.

"I see. I'll go find Yuri first," Chito said, then rushed to the spot Chito pointed to. A moment later, he dragged Yuri out of there, but Yuri looked lazy and lay on the ground, not wanting to move.

"How's it going?" Senju asked, looking at the goofy Yuri. Senju shook his head helplessly. "Yuri has been getting lazier and lazier lately. Even delicious food can't tempt her anymore."

"Ah, the sun feels so nice," Yuri exclaimed as she looked at the bright sunshine outside after being dragged outside.

Chapter 270 Sightseeing and Tourism

"Hey, Yuri, wake up!" Chito squatted down and patted Yuri's face. Yuri opened her eyes slightly and looked at Chito. "Chito, you should try it too. It feels nice to be in the sun."

"Wake up, we're about to set off," Chito called from the side. Yuri lay there lazily. "Chito, what are you saying? Isn't the trip already over?"

"Don't dream about it. I meant to go to Corinna Dirchi City," Chito said, pinching Yuri's face in annoyance. He had just finished talking to her, but he had already forgotten about it.

"Oh, what was that again?" Yuri finally sat up and looked at Chito. "Chito, are you going there?"

"Yeah, I've already said it several times," Chito said helplessly, rubbing his head. But thankfully, Yuri finally understood.

"I want to go too!" Yuri shouted, then stood up and stretched. "Okay, Chihiro, get the car out, let's go!"

"Hey, Yu, were you even listening?" Qianhu said helplessly, pointing to the spaceship next to them. "We'll be using this when we go out this time."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Yuri cheered, looking like she'd just made a new discovery. She ran to the escalator at the entrance, climbed up in a flash, and waved to the two below. "Hey, Senju, hurry up and get up here!"

"..." Senju was speechless for a moment, then looked at Chito beside him, "Chito, let's go up too."

"Mmm," Chito answered softly, then the two said goodbye to Nigolan and boarded the spaceship together.
