Offer blocks to the end times

“Well, as compensation, Ais, you must take good care of him,” Riveria chuckled, then looked at the Thousand Hands beside her, her expression immediately turning serious. “As a Loki Familia, we cannot ignore those in distress.”

“Hmm,” Ais nodded. Riveria whispered something in her ear again, and Ais nodded. “I understand. Is that alright?”

“Good, that’s enough,” Riveria said, then waved to Senju. “Let’s leave here first. Once the boy wakes up, Ais will escort him home.”

"Hmm, but you people of the Familia are really kind," Senju sighed from the side. He still felt a little guilty about scheming against Loki, but he was curious about what Riveria had said earlier. Taking advantage of the corner, he secretly released a clone so that Riveria could position herself to take pictures.

“Of course, our Familia is…” Riveria said calmly, seemingly proud of her family.

When Senju came to his senses, he heard Riveria ask, "I wonder how the deal between Mr. Senju and us went? Was it successful?"

"Oh, oh, of course it worked," Senju said, half her attention was on Hashirama and half on Senju. Senju realized she couldn't handle either side well, so she had Hashirama hide using Wood Release. Then she took out her camera and started recording, and turned her attention back to the present.

“That’s wonderful,” Riveria nodded, while Thousand Hands continued, “Oh, right, I still have a deal with Loki. If you’re all back, I can go to the Twilight Mansion tomorrow to complete the transaction.”

"Hmm? What kind of deal?" Riveria asked curiously, and Senju explained it to her.

After leaving the dungeon, Riveria bowed to Senju and said, "Then, Lady Senju, the Twilight Mansion will welcome you tomorrow."

"Hmm," Senju nodded, then turned a corner and went inside, turning his attention to the clone. However, Hashirama was startled when he opened his eyes. A flash of sword light appeared, and the Wood Release technique he used to hide was cleaved open. A clone of Ais was staring blankly at him. "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, of course it's nothing, I was just sleeping here," Hashirama said, breaking out in a cold sweat. How did she find him?

“I’m sorry, I made a mistake,” Ais bowed to Hashirama. “I thought a monster had emerged from inside, and I didn’t realize it was your magic.”

"Haha, it's alright, little girl, don't worry about it," Hashirama laughed, hiding his embarrassment. He put away his camera and pretended to be clueless. "By the way, little girl, what are you doing in the dungeon so late?"

"Just got back," Ais said absentmindedly, sounding a little troubled. Then she asked blankly, "Is a lap pillow a good way to apologize?"

“Of course,” Hashirama gave a thumbs up. “Especially for a pretty girl like you, that’s the highest reward for a boy.”

"Then, why did he run away?" Ais looked puzzled. Hashirama glanced around and realized that Bell was gone. It seemed that something interesting had happened. He wondered how many photos he had taken. "I don't understand either. Little girl, why don't you go and ask him?"

"Yeah, that makes sense, thank you," Ais thanked Hashirama and then left. Hashirama breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she was a bit of a ditz and he managed to fool her. But now he should take back the collected footage. With that thought, he began to move upwards.

Chapter 415 An Unexpected Disaster

Compared to Hashirama's speed, Ais was faster. When he came out of the dungeon, she was nowhere to be seen. Then Senju took the camera and immediately deactivated the clone.

Thousand Hands sat there and pulled up the video to watch. First, Ais was sitting next to Bell, hesitating, but the Holy Sword next to her was slowly crawling towards her.

Then Ais stroked the holy sword for a while before finally deciding to place Bell's head on her lap, and they remained like that for a long time.

Then Bell woke up, stood there in a daze for a while, and then rolled away, with the Holy Sword flying after him. Ais, on the other hand, remained there in a daze.

Throughout the entire process, what Senju cared about most was Bell's holy sword. It seemed to have undergone some kind of change, or rather, gained sentience. He just didn't know how Bell had done it. Could it be that the grimoire had caused this change?

Just as Thousand Hands was pondering, someone at the very top of the skyscraper noticed the tiny light. "Ota, bring back the glowing thing and the person down there."

"Yes," Ota replied, then descended directly from the outer wall. Using the wall to slow his descent, he leaped onto the face of the Thousand Hands.

Before, it was said, "The goddess wants to see you."

After saying that, without waiting for Senju's reaction, he grabbed the camera and Senju and ran up the wall. Senju screamed. When he came to his senses, he saw himself sitting on the carpet, with a tall adventurer next to him handing the camera to Freya who was sitting there.

"Oh, this looks a lot like the new computers. Can you tell me how to use it?" Freya took the camera and looked at it for a while, then reached out and stroked Senju's face, giving a seductive smile.

Thousand Hands immediately felt that the goddess in front of him was too beautiful. All the goddesses he had seen before were simply trash. He didn't notice that a red heart icon had appeared on his status, and he was explaining how to use the camera in detail.

However, just as he was speaking, Number Six shrieked in his mind, actively using milk to remove the abnormal state of Senju, according to the settings set long ago.

"Ah," Senju said, breaking out in a cold sweat as he recalled his earlier state. Freya, however, perked up. "Oh, so you managed to break free from my charm?"

“No matter what, I’m a god,” Senju said, taking a few steps back and wiping away his cold sweat. “But if you’re interested in cameras, I can explain how to use them.”

“Hmm, but I’m more interested in that internet cafe next to ‘The Abundant Mistress’. I wonder if we could cooperate?” Freya looked at Senju, chuckled a few times, and then sat down in a chair.

Looking at her clothes and movements, Senju swallowed hard and quickly gulped down a bottle of milk. "Tell me how we can cooperate."

“It’s very simple. I’ll send people to garrison there. The income will be 20% for you and 80% for me. After all, many people have been eyeing that place recently, so we need to send people to protect it. This is a reasonable distribution, right?” Freya said lazily as she sat there, a faint smile on her face.

Thousand Hands couldn't possibly be smiling. His income had plummeted by 80%—who would be happy about that? He shook his head. "That's impossible. Goddess Freya, your demands are too much."

“Is that too much? But in this city, only my clan can protect you, especially now that the Loki clan is preparing for an expedition,” Freya said confidently.

Senju was silent for a moment, then connected with William and Haruhime in the space, and raised her head, "Have you heard of LV8? If that's the case, do you still think you can protect my familia?"

“LV8? I’ve never heard of an adventurer of that level. Even Ota is far from achieving that goal,” Freya sat there and looked at Ota for a while, then looked at Senju. “You’re not going to tell me that you have an LV8 in your familia, are you?”

“Of course,” Senju said slowly, stalling for time. Freya, standing beside him, laughed. “If there really is a Level 8, you must let me see him. Then we won’t have to mention this collaboration anymore.”

“No, we can still cooperate, but the distribution of income will be reversed,” Thousand Hands said calmly. William had already 'transformed' in the space, and Thousand Hands opened an exit next to him, from which William walked out.

"What's wrong, Senju?" William only knew that Senju had encountered a powerful enemy, but he did not expect to see such a scene after coming out.

"Is this LV8? But the light around him is strange. Ota, give it a try." Freya's eyes narrowed as she looked at the glowing William. She sensed a deathly aura emanating from him, one that seemed capable of truly killing her.

Although William didn't quite understand what was happening, he saw the other man wielding a large sword and looking over. He threw a punch, and the blade was instantly shattered. Ota was also sent flying against the wall.

"Clap, clap, clap," Freya clapped her hands. "It seems you are indeed LV8. I never expected to meet such a warrior. Why don't you join my familia?"

As she spoke, she exuded a strong charm, while Thousand Hands beside her gulped down milk. However, William released his aura to counter it. "I'm sorry, I feel very comfortable in my current home."

“Oh, I didn’t expect you to be able to resist my ‘charm.’ You’re quite an interesting man,” Freya said, showing interest in William. However, Senju stared blankly at the title ‘Godslayer’ above William’s head, which was flashing faintly.

The special effects in this game aren't very good, and is it really okay for him to be so relaxed when facing his natural enemy? Thousand Hands was in a mess because of all this. Ota next to him stood up and apologized to the goddess, but he didn't even realize what was happening.

After a while, Senju saw that the golden light on William's body gradually faded, and he also came to his senses. "Then, tomorrow you send someone to 'The Abundant Mistress' and we will discuss cooperation there."

“Okay,” Freya nodded, while Senju pulled William away from there. In the air, William was very curious; so humans could fly.

As William asked his question, Senju suddenly dropped a few meters. He thought William wanted to ask about what had just happened. After promising to make him a pair of wings, the two slowly landed on the ground.

After listening to Senju finish recounting what had happened, William gave a wry smile. "Senju, this is completely an undeserved disaster for you. You're really unlucky."

"Who says otherwise? I've done so many good deeds..." Senju said, then suddenly fell silent. He remembered that he had arrested someone today. Was this retribution? But Senju shook his head. "Haha, how could that be? I've only done good deeds."

Chapter 416 A Slight Mistake

After chuckling for a while, Senju made a pair of mechanical wings for William and told him to go back and practice. Then, Senju looked at Aisha in the space.

However, after looking around, he discovered that there was a large hole in the cell and Aisha was missing. Senju curiously began to search, scanning the surrounding area but finding no one.

Could it be that it was planning to escape while I opened the space? Senju thought for a moment, then placed the clone inside, with only a small hole on the outside maintaining the connection.

After entering, Hashirama looked around the cell. The milk and experience orbs had disappeared, but Senju outside didn't feel the familiar connection. He couldn't help but frown.

So he opened the cell door and went inside to check, but just as he entered, a person suddenly pounced down from the top of the cell. She wrapped her legs around the pillar and held a dagger to his neck. "Don't move, take me to Chun Ji's soul."

"Huh, haven't you changed?" Hashirama asked curiously. Aisha pressed the dagger down slightly. "Your medicine is indeed very effective. It helped me break free from the goddess's charm, but it's still one step away from freeing me from the Familia."

"Huh, that's strange," Hashirama continued to ponder. Had Hashirama forgotten something? After thinking for a while, he clapped his hands, "Oh, it's because I didn't activate the skill."

"Don't move!" Aisha suddenly plunged her dagger into Hashirama's shoulder, but she quickly realized something was wrong and slashed Hashirama's neck in half.

"Oh, that was really dangerous," Hashirama calmly touched his neck. Aisha behind him had already jumped away, looking at Hashirama warily. "Who exactly are you? No, are you a puppet?!"

"Oh, you've been recognized," Hashirama said, repairing the wound on his neck before looking at Aisha. "You're really lucky. Because of my carelessness, you've gained immortality. It seems I can't let you leave now."

As Hashirama spoke, he turned into a wooden statue, while Senju outside took out some experience orbs and threw them at Aisha, then activated the skill 'Forced Conversion'.

"Crack," a soft sound seemed to come from behind Aisha, and then an attribute chart appeared on her back. However, the pattern on it suddenly shattered, and then Senju threw blood on her back. The attribute chart on her body changed to that of the Senju Familia.

"What is this?!" Aisha was startled. She felt that Ishtar's blessing had disappeared, and that she had been forcibly taken away by other members of her clan without the goddess's permission.

"Clang," Aisha's dagger fell to the ground. She buried her face in her hands and began to cry slowly, then burst into wild laughter. "What is this, Ishtar, Ishtar? So this is all there is to it, so weak, even your members were easily taken away."

“Alright, don’t be like that,” Hashirama patted her shoulder. Aisha looked up at Hashirama with a mixture of gratitude and excitement, as well as disgust and hatred. After a while, she gradually calmed down. “I have one last request. If you do it, I will work wholeheartedly for the new Familia.”

“You say,” Hashirama nodded, making two chairs to sit down beside him, but Aisha did not sit down. She stared at Hashirama, “You’re not very strong, are you? You can’t do something this simple, can you?”

“Hmm, that’s a bit difficult,” Hashirama said, looking at Aisha’s unchanged expression. “Because Haruhime has been rescued and has now joined our familia. The one with Ishtar was just a fake.”

As Hashirama spoke, he summoned Shiro beside him, then put a transformation collar on her, and Shiro transformed into a cute, dazed woman. "Like this."

"Could it be..." Aisha was very surprised by the change in front of her. Hashirama took off the collar again, and the beautiful woman turned into the cute little white dog again. "That's right, what was locked up there was just a monster."

“You guys are really shrewd,” Aisha sighed, glancing at her back through the reflection of the dagger. “But could you ‘lock’ my attribute table? It looks rather unsightly and makes it easy to expose information.”

"A lock?" Hashirama asked in surprise. "What's that?"

"Huh, you didn't know?" Even Aisha, who was usually calm, was a little surprised. Anyone in the gods could do something like this, so how could there be gods who didn't know? "It's about hiding the attribute table. Almost all Amazon warriors do this."

"Ah!" Hashirama exclaimed softly. He remembered the Loki sisters. Although he had only noticed the front at the time, there were indeed no Familia markings on their backs. "So that's how it is. I understand now."

However, Senju doesn't know the method right now, so she'll ask Hestia tomorrow. "Then you can rest here for a while. I'll bring Haruhime to meet you tomorrow."

“That’s good,” Aisha nodded calmly, then looked at the cell. “But I hope to live in better conditions, with food and water, and it would be nice to have strong men around.”

“Uh,” Hashirama looked at Aisha who suddenly spoke, unsure whether she was telling the truth or not, “There will be shelter and food, but no men.”

As Hashirama spoke, he used Wood Release, creating a giant house outside. The furniture and items inside were all made of Wood Release. He then crafted a wooden box, placed bread, roasted meat, and water inside, and sat down beside it to restore the wooden statue.

The posture.

"Tch, boring man, I will definitely find your true form," Aisha, after the great chaos, finally returned to her usual demeanor, sitting there lost in thought.

Feeling that the problem was solved, Senju flew home. By now, even the movie theater had closed. When Senju got home, she found that Noft, who was on duty, was fast asleep on the sofa, while Landoruko was sitting quietly reading a book next to him.

“Welcome back,” Landoruko said softly, startling Senju. He nodded. “Well, I have something to take care of. Ran, you can continue reading.”

“Yes, that’s what I was planning to do too,” Landoruko said, then stood up and bowed to Senju. “I’m sorry, but I can’t protect Miss Chito and Miss Yuri. They always disappear and reappear at will, and I can’t find them at all.”

"Uh," Senju paused, realizing she had almost forgotten about it. She was surprised that Landor remembered. "Oh, let's talk about this with Senju and the others tomorrow. From now on, you'll be working with them."

Chapter 417 The Bell's Grimoire Scandal

After chatting with Landoruko for a while, Senju leveled her up to level ten and gave her a bunch of items. Landoruko was very interested in the newly appeared space; with it, she could carry a large amount of supplies with her. While she was studying it, Senju went back to rest.

Looking at Landoruko and Noft, Senju also felt that the black pattern on their backs seemed inappropriate for women, and decided to go to Hestia tomorrow to ask how to hide the pattern.

As the sky brightened, Senju woke up. In the living room, Landoruko was still sitting there calmly, while Noft was fast asleep beside her.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ran," Thousand Hands greeted her from the side. Randoru shook her head. "No, these books are very interesting. I never imagined that the technology of humans in another world was so advanced. It turns out that the land we live on is just a tiny star."

Senju looked closely at her book, which seemed to be about cosmic knowledge. "Hmm, it's the same in our hometown, and it should be similar here."

"Is it the same inside the space?" Landoruk asked. Thousand Hands shook his head. "It should be different. The rules inside are very different from those outside."

“I see,” Landoruko said, engrossed in her book again. Senju thought for a moment and took out some books she had bought here. “By the way, there are also many good books here. Take a look at these.”

"Thank you," Landoruko replied, putting the book into her spatial storage and continuing to read. Noft, who was next to her, was still talking in his sleep, "Roast meat, roast meat."

Senju then went out. When he got to the opposite door, he seemed to hear a noisy commotion. It seemed the two of them were quite energetic. However, after Senju knocked on the door, the noise inside immediately stopped.

He continued knocking on the door, and a panicked voice came from inside, "What do we do, God? They've come! They really are here for compensation!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything," Hestia's voice trembled. "Just leave it to me and pretend you don't know anything."
