After thinking for a moment, Senju realized that the clothes and toiletries looted were probably what Nigoran and the others needed, so he added those as well.

Then, Thousand Hands clones followed Nigoran into the space and built a library not far from the facility. They then used the new ship to put the books inside. There was also a warehouse next to it, filled with all sorts of random items.

After a while, Thousand Hands finally managed to deliver the supplies inside, but Nigolan would have to do the sorting and organizing. He also asked Nigolan to give a portion to the town's orphanage.

Chapter 446 An Even Stronger Teacher

Exhausted, Senju fell fast asleep. He thought everything was foolproof, but little did he know that his information would soon be exposed.

As soon as the turmoil subsided, two gods noticed that Senju must know something. However, Loki was still unsure whether Senju had obtained the 'Malus Hammer,' but Freya was certain that the 'Malus Hammer' was in Senju's possession. She didn't want to take the blame and had to get to the bottom of this matter.

After listening to her subordinate's report, Freya remembered the LV8 summoned by the Thousand Hands that day. Now that she thought about it, it should be a LV7 member of the Thousand Hands Familia that Loki had mentioned before, whose level was temporarily boosted by the fox-people's magic.

“Hmph, how interesting,” Freya said with a smile as she looked down at the entire Orario from the top of the Sky Tower after figuring everything out. “But Ishtar really dares to dream big.”

"Goddess, should we take the 'Melting Hammer'?" Ota asked calmly from the side. He had also felt the power of LV8, which was beyond his current ability to resist. However, he would only act after receiving the Goddess's order.

“Not for now,” Freya said, her face beaming with excitement as if she had just witnessed something. “That child is becoming brighter and brighter under their guidance. I really want to see him soon.”

“However, he is now mixed with impurities,” Freya’s expression slowly calmed down. “That child will grow stronger one day, and then no obstacle will be able to stop his brilliance, but!”

“Those who stop taking risks cannot break free from their shells, is that right?” Ota calmly chimed in from the side. Ota, who had been by Freya’s side the whole time, certainly knew what Freya was talking about.

"Everything is in your hands, Ota," Freya said softly. Ota accepted the mission and quietly left.

When Senju woke up in the morning, he was unaware of everything. He happily went to the training room to watch Bell and the others train.

As the lowest level in the training room, Bell received a lot of attention from Ais. During breaks, she would always find an opportunity to spar with Bell, beat him up, and then naturally give him a lap pillow. The people around didn't know what to say and could only let the naturally naive child figure it out herself.

Although Bell was beaten up many times, he never tired of it. In his sparring with Ais, his mastery of martial arts improved rapidly, and he quickly became familiar with the 'Sunfire Footwork' and various sword techniques.

William seemed to have noticed this phenomenon. He realized that Bell, like himself in the past, was also constantly chasing a goal. So the next training session was Bell sparring with Ais, who was only using the new sword technique.

However, Lefia didn't come today. She seemed to have something on her mind. Otherwise, she would have gone berserk if she had seen Ais and Belle looking like that.

After watching for a while, Senju was very envious of the two's reaction speed and adaptability. Many moves that Senju thought were unstoppable were unexpectedly neutralized by them, which surprised Senju.

However, after a while, Senju took out the magic book "Become a God Overnight" and started reading it. He wished he could really become a god overnight, but it seemed that he had indeed become a god overnight.

After watching for a while with mixed feelings, Senju fell fast asleep, but in his dream he saw the brilliance of countless crystals.

Senju was woken up by someone pushing him. He opened his eyes and saw that it was William. Bell was nowhere to be seen, but Ais was still practicing her newly learned sword skills.

“Oh, it’s William,” Senju shook her head and sat up, then looked at William and handed her a lunchbox. “You haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? This is breakfast that Chtholly just brought over.”

"Oh," Senju glanced at the other serving next to William, then opened it with relief. Inside were steaming chunks of meat and rice, a rather unusual sight. "What are these?"

“Oh, this is called rice. Miss Yuri found it at the market and cooked it. It tastes very good,” William explained, then opened the lunchbox and started eating.

"Oh," Senju understood what it was, but she hadn't expected the Demeter Familia to even have rice. She wondered if they had any other crops. If they had peanuts or something, the local dishes would be completely different.

While eating, Senju chatted with William, "How's Miss Ais doing with her studies?"

“Hmm, she has excellent aptitude, and she seems to have the potential to become a hero. With proper training, she can catch up with me,” William praised from the side. However, he then changed the subject, “It seems that everyone here relies on the ‘gift’ of the gods. Although Miss Ais works very hard, she hasn’t fully developed her power yet.”

"Yes, I've heard that the people here used to suffer greatly from monsters. Only when the gods bestowed upon them a 'gift' were the monsters driven underground. Therefore, the people here focus more on improving their attributes and rarely practice martial arts," Thousand Hands said, drawing upon many...

I heard it from someone, "but instead, many adventurers have skills and magic, which should not be underestimated either."

“Not bad, but watching Ais’s training, I feel it would be better for her to be taught by her master. I have to work hard to learn many sword techniques to reach my current level, but Ais is a genius,” William said with some distress, because he found that Ais was more like Lila, and the speed of improvement would be faster if she followed her path. “Although the master is unreliable, his strength and teaching ability are the strongest.”

“By the way, why don’t you try looking at this magic book? You might get some magic.” Senju thought for a moment, took out a magic book and tossed it to William, then called out to Nils, “Asking Nils about Ais’s training.”

Niels was bored at home, looking at the crystal in his hand. Lila's appearance was good, but he knew that Lila was not fully resurrected. Moreover, a few days ago, Elmelia took all the girls from the orphanage away, saying that they were going to stay with William for a few days. The remaining boys were also making a fuss, saying that they wanted to go find them.

However, the boys who went there quickly returned in a sorry state, and then they worked hard to practice swordsmanship together. At the same time, they kept looking for people to help them practice their swordsmanship. Of course, the person they looked for the most was Nils, since Lila had also gone there after hearing about El's whereabouts.

Bored, Nils had no choice but to teach these energetic boys. After listening to what Thousand Hands had to say, he was also eager to try it out. He was a qualified teacher, especially when his apprentice was a beautiful girl.

After Thousand Hands opened the space, Nils came out. After watching Ais for a while, he understood her aptitude and cultivation level. After discussing with William for a while, he began to teach Ais how to become stronger.

After watching for a while, William was kicked back into space by Nils, who then instructed him to teach those brats swordsmanship. Meanwhile, Thousand Hands refreshed his attribute table, wanting to see what new magic he had acquired was.

Chapter 447 The Guardian of the Gods

After refreshing his attribute table, Qian Shou saw that he had gained a new skill: Patronus Charm.

The Guardian Angel summons magic, merging the combat experience of all the golden fairies in the memory crystal within the mind, temporarily enhancing combat abilities.

“This is not bad, but…” Senju tried it again and felt as if his consciousness was connected to another consciousness. Then, looking at Ais who was practicing, he immediately understood how to avoid the attack and how to counterattack.

However, after watching for a while, Senju deactivated the skill. Although his combat awareness had improved, Senju felt that this was not like him anymore. He was always afraid of the changes in his spirit, whether it was sublimation or corruption!

After drinking a bottle of mental recovery potion, Thousand Hands began reading the copy book, hoping for new surprises.

However, after noon, Senju was unsure whether to be happy or unhappy about the new options that appeared.

The second effect of the "Call of Gods" skill is "Divine Summoning." By summoning a combat consciousness, one can unleash all their power and intimidate all living beings in the surrounding area.

Effect 3, Necromancer Summoning: Through the memory crystals left behind by the Golden Fairies in your mind, you can bring them back to the world to fight. This effect lasts for three minutes.

Powerful, the skills are indeed very powerful, but the Thousand Hands have two concerns. First, if the power is fully unsealed, will they be ejected from this world like Ishtar? Second, will the summoned golden fairies obey commands? Will they turn around and cut themselves down, or even self-destruct on the spot? Moreover, without the Holy Sword, their combat power will definitely be weakened to the extreme.

Senju lay to one side, lost in thought. Nearby, Nils had already taught Ais a set of sword techniques and training methods according to her aptitude and habits. With proper guidance, Ais began to practice.

Niels, looking utterly exhausted, sat down next to Senju. "Sigh, I haven't been active in ages, my body's all rusted."

"Tch, Niels, you really dare to say that," Senju said, looking at his forehead, which was completely dry. "That wasn't even a warm-up, was it? How did Ais feel?"

“Yes, this child is different from William. She is just as talented as Lira,” Niels said, looking at Ais with great admiration. “She has the blood of a half-human, half-god. She was born a legendary hero. She is also very talented with swords and has the power of wind within her body. Most importantly, she has a tragic wish. If she were still over there, she would have been chosen as a hero by the church.”

"Is she really that powerful?" Thousand Hands asked in surprise. Nils nodded. "Yes, I can still feel what she carries on her back. But now, probably no one can unlock this potential. The Church of Praise Light has long since collapsed. Most importantly, there is no Holy Sword. Without the Holy Sword, the hero can no longer create the great feat of slaying gods and dragons."

“Hmm, that’s right,” Thousand Hands nodded. He thought of Eluk’s death, which was all because of Senioris’s curse. If it weren’t for the Holy Sword, Lira would have had a hard time killing Eluk in the end. “But I will not give the Holy Sword to her.”

However, Ais, who was practicing her swordsmanship on the side, listened curiously to the two of them rambling on. Who were they talking about, half-human, half-god? What was the Holy Sword? She had never heard of the Church of Praise of Light. Had anyone ever killed a god?

The two watched Ais practice her swordsmanship, with Nils occasionally offering pointers and mentioning Lila's situation, saying she would be fully recovered in about a month, at which point they would revive her.

Just fine.

After the two chatted for a while, Lefia came in from outside. She was there to take Ais back for the expedition's oath-taking ceremony.

"Hmm, has it come to this point already?" Thousand Hands nodded. He seemed to recall Loki mentioning a rally to be held. So it was today.

“By the way, Loki also invites you, Mr. William, and Miss Nigolan to attend tonight,” Raphia said, handing Thousand Hands three golden invitations.

After looking at it, Senju noticed that the invitation bore the symbol of the Loki Familia – the Joker. "Hmm, so that's what an invitation looks like. Okay, we'll definitely go."

"Thank you," Lefia bowed to Senju before returning to her clan with Ais.

Niels lost interest after seeing his beautiful apprentice leave. "Alright, Senju, I'm going back too. Oh, and this is for you."

"What is this?" Senju opened the entrance to the space and caught the crystal shard that was thrown to him, examining it carefully.

“Ah, this is a talisman, for arrow protection,” Nils said before entering the space. A while later, Senju heard the sounds of fighting coming from inside the space, and then William was thrown out.

"Old man, don't make me lose my temper, or I'll beat you up too," William shouted from outside, but Nils's voice came from inside, "Hey, brat, do you want a beating?!"

“You two have such a good relationship,” Senju said, handing the invitation to William after they caught up with the portal. “This is an invitation from the Loki Familia, inviting me, you, and Nigoran to their banquet.”

“Hmm, is that so?” William took it and looked at it. “But do I have to wear a formal dress this time too?”

"It shouldn't be necessary, after all, they're all adventurers," Thousand Hands shook his head. If Loki wore an evening suit to the rally, the whole event would become a hilarious spectacle.

“That’s good,” William nodded. “It just so happens that El recently made me a set of my old combat suit, so I can wear that one to be more comfortable.”

"Uh, I feel like you've had it easy enough," Senju said, looking at William in his ordinary adventurer clothes, unsure how to respond.

The invitation stated that the banquet would begin at six o'clock. Thousand Hands checked the time; it was already past two. Thousand Hands then asked William to take the invitation to Nigolan, while Thousand Hands went to the guild to check on the progress of the mission.

When Thousand Hands arrived at the guild, he was surprised to find a large crowd gathered in front of the bulletin board. Were they all there for their own missions?

However, after Thousand Hands found Eina and asked her, he learned that what everyone was eager to see was the details of yesterday's turmoil and the conditions of punishment. Thousand Hands only had about a dozen missions available, a dozen of which were found by Bell, and the rest were sent by a little sister from the dog-person tribe.

As the two were talking, they heard a familiar voice from beside them, "Big sister, is this pot of flowers okay?"

“Hmm, lilies, that’s good,” Eina wrote down after reading it. The voice next to her continued, “This is a great mission. You can make a lot of money just by buying some from the flower shop.”

"Lily?" Senju asked uncertainly, startling her. "Wow, I'm not!"

However, she then recognized Senju. "What? It's Lord Senju! You scared me to death!"

"Hmm? What are you afraid of?" Senju asked curiously. Lily whispered to Senju, "Lily is dead now, so we can't let anyone recognize us."

Chapter 448 The Banquet Before the Expedition

"Fake death, huh?" Senju nodded, then looked at her appearance; there was indeed some change. "But you only added ears and a tail. Can that fool anyone?"

“That’s none of your business, Lord Thousand Hands. I have my own way of handling it,” Lily said happily, then took the money bag from Eina and walked away cheerfully.

"I'll take all the plants I have," Senju said to Eina, and then followed her to the back of the mission hall. It was much more spacious than Senju had imagined. The two arrived at a garden where dozens of flowerpots were already placed, containing various flowers, plants and saplings.

After putting those things away, Senju ran to check the bulletin board. At the top was the news that Sword Princess had leveled up to LV6, and in the middle was the punishment for the clans that participated in yesterday's turmoil. It clearly stated the matter of 'Wanbao Hammer' and Haruhime, which surprised Senju.

However, upon closer inspection of the surroundings, although it was written that related ceremonies were strictly prohibited and that after finding Haruhime, she needed to be sent to the guild for protection, the adventurers around did not think so. Everyone was discussing who had obtained the 'Treasure Hammer'!

After listening for a while, Senju realized that everyone was fantasizing about what would happen after obtaining the 'Treasure Hammer'. However, some people said that the Treasure Hammer had already been obtained by Freya's Familia, and even Ota was able to level up because of it.

Hearing this unreliable rumor, most of the people around actually believed it. They believed that this was the only way to explain why Ota leveled up so quickly. Otherwise, why would he level up faster than everyone else?

However, the guy who started the rumor was covered up by his companion and dragged out. After arguing for a while, the two ran away in fear, apparently afraid of retaliation from Freya's Familia.

Senju watched for a while and, finding that no one mentioned the 'Senju Familia', he left to find Aisha.

After arriving at the internet cafe, Senju told Aisha the news, but it seemed that she already knew, because everyone in the internet cafe was talking about it. However, those who mentioned the Freya Familia were surrounded and given a good scolding by the Freya Familia members next to them.

After finishing that, Senju talked about the Loki Familia, then looked at Sasuke with a worried expression, "Speaking of which, why aren't the Apollo Familia showing up? Is it because you're not handsome enough? Or is it because no one has spread your image? I want to acquire his abilities as soon as possible."

"Do you know the strength of the Apollo Familia?" Sasuke asked coldly. Senju shook his head. "I don't know, they probably aren't very strong."

“Then you should find out more about them. Once you know their strength, you'll understand why,” Sasuke said before leaving the Senju group.

"Could it be that the Apollo Familia is very strong? Well, after all, he is the sun god," Senju thought for a while but couldn't figure it out. She decided to ask Loki later, and if Loki didn't know, she would go home and look up some information.

Seeing that it was almost time, Senju headed towards the Twilight Mansion. Upon arriving there, he saw the entire Loki Familia bustling about.

After Thousand Hands handed over the invitation, he was quickly led to a large room with many long and round tables, all laden with various foods. Each table was full of people, and Loki was sitting at the front table chatting with Finn and a few other executives.

After following the people to the assigned seats, Qian Shou saw that William and Nigolan were already sitting next to him, along with Ais, Lefia, and Bert.

Rafia was chatting with Ais, while Bert was staring intently at William. Today, William was wearing a white short robe with a string of green crystals hanging from it, over which he wore all black. Next to him was a small brown cloak, which seemed to be the clothes Elmelia had prepared for him. The only question was the purpose of the diagonally wrapped leather belt.

The people next to her were dressed as usual, but Ais kept staring at William, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hey, William and Nigolan, you're here early," Senju greeted the two men, who nodded back. "We just arrived a little while ago."

The three chatted idly, and Senju casually mentioned the announcement made by the guild to the two of them. After listening to what Senju said, the two understood what she meant: she wanted them to keep it a secret.
