Offer blocks to the end times

The ancient guardian first attacked the octopus beside it, and after a few beams of light, the octopus was killed. Then the guardian turned its gaze to the approaching ship and projected beams of light onto it.

However, the light wave seemed to have been detected by those above, and a group of people jumped down from above. The poor guardian was no match for the onslaught of the crowd and could only safely turn into nothingness. Those people then grabbed their affected companions and returned to the ship.

Senju's return point this time was an internet cafe. After looking around the lively internet cafe, Senju went to the 'Abundant Mistress' next door. However, after entering, she found that Belle was also inside, and Lily was sitting next to her. The two of them were happily eating.

Chapter 467 Bell, Still Not Upgraded

"Hey, Bell," Senju greeted him, and then saw Lily eagerly showing off, "Hey, Lord Star God, do you know? Lord Bell defeated a very strong Minotaur today, it was a Level 2 monster."

"Oh, it seems you've grown quite a bit," Senju praised, looking at Bell who was blushing. Then, her tone became serious. "But I remember the Minotaur only exists in the middle level. Have you already gone there?"

“No, Lord Star God,” Bell hurriedly waved his hand, “I encountered it on the ninth floor. I don’t know why it got there, right, Lily?”

"Huh?!" Senju looked at Lily, who was still somewhat frightened. "What exactly happened? Can monsters just run around on their own?"

“Actually, we also found it strange,” Lily seemed to be recalling what happened today, feeling that something was unusual. “We actually came across something like a treasure chest, and when we got closer, the Minotaur came out of it.”

"A mimic?!" Senju was somewhat surprised. So there was such a type of mimic. However, Lily shook her head. "I've never heard of that kind of monster. It seems more like something a person would put there."

"Really? The Mimic is actually quite nice; it only bites people after everyone gets close," Senju said, somewhat speechless. "But who would leave a monster there? Does someone want to use it?"

“This feels like it’s related to the Ganesha Familia. It’s like they capture monsters and then bring them to the surface to tame them,” Lily analyzed. “So, I think that box must be something lost by a member of the Ganesha Familia.”

“Although I don’t know whose it is, the other party must have put a lot of effort into training it to be so strong,” Bell recalled the battle. “It felt similar to fighting Miss Tiona, but the Minotaur was even more ferocious.”

“Of course, so during the match, Tiona went easy on her. Monsters don’t show mercy to women,” Thousand Hands explained from the side, and Bell understood somewhat. “I see.”

“But it would be great to defeat the Minotaur. By the way, I can arrange a course for you,” Thousand Hands praised Bell for a while, then suddenly thought of a good idea.

"What course?" Bell asked curiously. Thousand Hands waved his hand, "You'll find out soon enough, but don't die."

"?" Bell looked puzzled, but Lily next to him seemed to have thought of something. "Um, Lord Star God, could you please take a picture of me and Lord Bell?"

“Okay,” Senju said, taking out his camera. “You two stand closer. Okay, look this way, smile. Hmm, all done.”

Following Senju's instructions, Lily immediately ran to Bell's side, hugged his arm, and smiled broadly. Bell looked at them with a smile after a moment of embarrassment. Senju then took a picture of the two of them.

"Here, these are photos," Thousand Hands said, twisting two photos into a cloth and handing them to Lily, who carefully hid them close to her body. "Thank you, Star God."

After the three of them finished their meal there, Lily ran back home, while Senju and Bell headed towards the ruins.

"Lord Star God, how exactly do we level up?" Bell suddenly asked as the two were walking. Senju thought for a moment and replied, "It should be by defeating monsters stronger than yourself and accumulating experience points called 'Great Achievements' to level up. That's how you level up."

“Defeat monsters stronger than yourself, huh?” Bell seemed to have a realization. Senju patted him on the shoulder from the side. “Don’t worry, there will be many powerful monsters. It all depends on your strength.”

“But it’s too dangerous to go to the middle level now. I’m already exhausted after just defeating one Minotaur,” Bell muttered. Thousand Hands said with a grin, “Don’t worry, it won’t be in the middle level. I’ll prepare some opponents for you.”

"What kind of opponent?" Bell asked, somewhat puzzled, but Senju didn't continue.

When Senju got home, she saw Nigolan there, looking quite relaxed.

She was there, drinking tea and reading a book, looking every bit the virtuous and gentle lady.

"Hey, Nigolan, what have you been up to lately?" Senju asked curiously about everyone's whereabouts. Nigolan thought for a moment and replied, "Usually I go to the dungeon to run around; train with Chtholly and the others; research the herbs and potions here; and take care of and educate the children."

"Life is really fulfilling," Thousand Hands sighed, then thought of the four little girls, "Pan Libao and Ke Rong should be showing signs soon, should we give them the Holy Sword?"

“Hmm, it should be soon,” Nigolan said hesitantly, “but I’m not sure what they’re thinking about the Holy Sword.”

"I see. Then let them choose for themselves," Senju said, though he was a little hesitant. But he quickly let go of his worries. After all, people need power to protect themselves. "Once they've made their choice, come to me to choose the Holy Sword."

“Okay, thanks,” Nigolan nodded, then seemed to remember something, “By the way, Senju, could you help me update my stats? I heard from the people here that constantly killing monsters and training will improve your abilities.”

“Hmm, I’ve heard of that too, but our clan is a bit different,” Senju said, summoning a light screen to 'update' Nigoran’s stats. “Hmm, her attributes haven’t changed much, but her experience is growing so fast. Nigoran, have you fought any high-level monsters?”

Senju handed the completed attribute table to Nigolan, who shook her head. "No, I usually operate in the upper levels, and I've been training with Chtholly and the others lately. Could it be because of this?"

“Hmm, very likely,” Senju nodded. It seems that training can also level up, but Senju prefers to ‘plunder’ monsters.

After chatting for a while, Senju went back to rest. He lay on the bed and sent his clone into the space. However, this time it was not to organize items, but to build a trial arena for challenges.

Using Wood Release, Hashirama raised twelve enormous wooden platforms across the vast grassland, then summoned monsters upon them and commanded, 'Defeat anyone who steps onto the arena with all your might.'

The monsters on the stage include: Minotaur, Fire-Breathing Wolf, Five Unicorn Rabbits, Ten Killer Bees, Giant Beetle, Sniper Dragonfly, Lizardman, Giant Boar, Baby Dragon, Man-Eating Flower, Giant Flower, and Goliath.

If Bell clears all the arenas, he should be able to reach LV3. However, he needs some rewards. After flipping through the list for a while, he found that Hestia still owed him some money. He decided to use that as a reward.

Chapter 468 The More They Fight, the Stronger They Become

Then Senju 'called' and chatted with Chito and the others, and gave them the huge crystal mountain and some pearls. Chito and Yuri were very happy to see the pearls and said they could use them as marbles, but they didn't know what to do with the blue glass next to it.

After a moment of silence, Senju told them about the giant waterfall in the underground city. After hearing about the magnificent sight Senju described, all three of them wanted to go and see it.

However, there was still some threat to them there, so Qian Shou showed them the videos and photos he had taken and promised to take them there in a few days.

Senju woke up just as dawn broke, but when she went outside, she found that others had woken up even earlier; Bell and several members of the Loki Familia were already sparring.

Seeing their lively exercise, Senju told them to pause. "Bell, do you remember the lesson I mentioned? There's a reward for doing well."

Seeing the IOU dangling in Thousand Hands' hand, Bell immediately perked up. "Hmm, please enlighten me, Lord Star God."

“No problem,” Senju opened his spatial dimension. “I’ve summoned twelve monsters I’ve seen before. If you defeat them all, this IOU will be void, and there’s no time limit.”

"Huh? Minotaur, Dire Wolf, these are all LV2 monsters! Little Bell is only LV1 yet," Diona exclaimed in dissatisfaction. But Dione pointed to the ones behind, "There are LV3 monsters in the back too, including man-eating plants and giant flowers. And the last one is... Goliath?! Where did you find all of these?"

"Well, there are some special techniques involved. It took me all night to prepare all of this," Senju mumbled, then looked at Bell. "Let's go. Each achievement will lighten Hestia's burden."

"Is everything alright?" Ais asked from the side. Bell, hearing everyone's comments, blushed slightly. "No problem!"

"..." Lefia was also watching from the side, wanting to see what special skills this human, whom Ais had always favored, possessed.

"Phew," Bell calmed down after stepping into the space, but the gaze behind him ignited his heart. Finally, Miss Ais could see a different side of him.

Upon seeing Bell step onto the stage, the Minotaur also stood up, raised its massive stone axe, and lunged at Bell. Bell, in turn, raised its holy sword and clashed with it.

To everyone's astonishment, Bell and the Minotaur engaged in a bloody battle. Within minutes, he successfully killed the Minotaur, at the cost of only slight fatigue and spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood.

"Wow, that's amazing!" The chicken-smelling girl from Loki's Familia clapped along, and Tiona even ran up to her. "Hey, Bell, how did you defeat a Level 2 monster?"

"Well, I'm not entirely sure either, but it seems a bit weaker than the one we encountered yesterday."

"Bell said shyly, while Ais looked at him seriously, "It seems you've gotten stronger."

“Yes, Miss Ais,” Bell’s face lit up with joy, but she quickly waved her hand, “but I’m not strong enough yet, I need to be stronger.”

"Here, drink this," Senju said, handing Bell a high-level recovery potion. "But you said it was easy, so try dealing with the next monsters. Those are all mid-level ones, you know."

"Oh!" Bell, who was about to say thank you, exclaimed in surprise after hearing what Senju said, "But those Horned Rabbits aren't from the middle level!"

"Just go when I tell you to, stop talking nonsense," Thousand Hands shoved the potion into Bell's hand and then pushed him back. "The monsters in the middle level respawn very quickly, there's no time to rest."

“That’s right. To survive in the middle levels, you have to deal with the monsters that respawn quickly.” Several people next to him nodded in agreement. Bell listened to them, drank some potions, and then stepped onto the second arena.

This time, the guardian was a demon wolf. When it saw Bell come on stage, it opened its mouth and condensed a fireball, which it then spewed at Bell. However, Bell seemed to feel very relaxed. When the holy sword in his hand collided with the fireball, it seemed to carry even greater power. Bell even beheaded the demon wolf in one fell swoop.

"That's strange, isn't she a little faster?" Tione asked as she observed carefully, but then shook her head, feeling that she was overthinking it.

However, Tiona, standing beside him, smiled and looked at Bell, "That's right, sister, little Bell is indeed quite fast, just like the little hero Argo in the storybook, getting stronger with each battle."

Next, Bell challenged five unicorn rabbits. They cooperated very well, and Bell was slightly injured this time before he was able to completely eliminate them.

However, the killer bees that followed stopped him in his tracks. If Ais hadn't come to his rescue, Bell would probably have been turned into a pig's head. Senju comforted the somewhat disappointed Bell, "Ahem, these are monsters from the twentieth floor onwards. It's too early for you."

"Really?" Bell looked like he was about to cry, and Tiona ran over to comfort him. But the two of them soon started talking about "Heroes of the Labyrinth" and were having a great time.

“That’s strange, why aren’t they dropping any magic stones?” Lefia muttered to herself. Senju, who was nearby, explained, “These are all summoned by me. Although they look and have the same combat power as monsters, their internal workings are completely different.”

Just as Lefia was about to say something, Bell suddenly remembered something and called out to everyone, "Oh, sorry, we're going to be late, I have to go now."

With that, Bell ran away in a panic. Watching Bell leave, several members of the Loki Familia surrounded Thousand Hands. "Lord Star God, can you tell me where you found those man-eating flowers and giant flowers? Could they be monsters created by Lord Star God?"

"No, no, no, those two are just there to make up the numbers," Senju quickly explained, looking at the group of girls who were sneering. "I'm innocent. I can only summon monsters I've seen before."

"Really?" The group of people seemed skeptical. No matter how you looked at it, Senju, who could summon monsters, seemed more like the mastermind. However, Senju came up with a twisted logic: "Really, if I were to create monsters, I wouldn't create them. I know of stronger monsters."

“Is that so?” The people next to him seemed skeptical. They huddled together and discussed it for a while before Ais stood in front of Senju. “If Lord Star God can summon an even stronger monster, then we will believe you.”

"Huh?" Senju was quite surprised that his twisted logic actually worked. However, seeing Ais's unnaturally averted gaze, Senju felt something was off and felt like he had been used.

Chapter 469 The Strongest Monster

"Let me think, the strongest should be the Ender Dragon and the Wither," Thousand Hands said, but what came to mind was the huge sixth beast that Chtholly had kicked off the sky, but that was too dangerous.

"A dragon?! That's it!" several people exclaimed, but Senju glanced at their equipment. "Dragons can fly, do you have any ranged weapons?"

“Don’t worry, we can handle it,” Tione said confidently, holding a throwing knife in her hand. Senju shook his head helplessly, “Oh well, whatever you want. I can control it in the end anyway.”

After saying that, Thousand Hands switched the location to a desert and summoned a giant Ender Dragon. "Alright, you guys give it a try."

"A black dragon, huh? But it's rather small," they said, seemingly unfazed. However, Senju was already fantasizing about how his black dragon would conquer these delicate girls.

Unfortunately, Ais stepped forward, raised her sword, and shouted, "Awaken! Wind Spirit Swiftness!"

A massive whirlwind erupted from Ais's sword, forming a blue pillar of wind that enveloped the Ender Dragon. Countless wind-blade-like attacks depleted the Ender Dragon's health.

"You've underestimated them," Senju said speechlessly, then raised his staff. "And what about this one? Flash Swallow!"

The sky in the space slowly turned red, where countless red swallows were. Then they rushed down from the sky like rain, and crashed to the ground and died.

Senju had initially worried they wouldn't be able to handle it, and intentionally lowered the frequency here, but those people protected Lefia very well.

Fia also pulled out a piece of parchment, "Fire volley of flaming javelins!"

Countless muskets shot into the sky, incinerating the flying swallows above into ashes. Thousand Hands stared blankly for a while before summoning Wither, saying, "Be careful, this is the last monster."

Ais tried to solve the problem with her own wind, but when the damage from Withering reached half, it became immune to ranged attacks. Neither Tione's throwing knives nor Lefia's magic worked.

However, Ais didn't give up and fought it with her sword. The attacks spewed out by the Wither were blocked by the barrier around Ais, but the others nearby weren't so lucky.

They were infected with decay by the attack of the Withering, so Thousand Hands dismissed them and gave them milk to detoxify them. "Let's get rid of the toxins first, then it's up to Ais."

"Okay, we understand." The group also felt unwell, but after drinking the milk, they felt much better. Watching Ais battling the Wither with great enthusiasm, Senju asked curiously, "Have you guys ever seen a dragon before? Why is Ais handling it so familiarly?"

“Well, there are quite a few pterosaurs in the dungeon, and we’ve taken down quite a few,” Tione said, then looked at Ais fighting inside. “However, I heard that Ais’s achievement of leveling up to LV2 came from a black dragon.”

"No wonder she's so familiar with dragons," Senju said with some surprise. Lefia, who was standing next to her, was also very interested. "By the way, Miss Ais was nine years old when she leveled up, so she was able to defeat the black dragon at the age of nine?"

“Well, it can’t really be called a black dragon,” Tione said, sharing the information he had heard. “I heard that when Miss Ais was trying to reach LV2, she happened to encounter an anomaly in the dungeon. A young dragon there turned into a powerful black dragon, and Miss Ais successfully reached LV2 by defeating the black dragon.”

"Is it really that ferocious?" Thousand Hands asked doubtfully. The people next to him nodded. At this moment, a huge explosion came from the space, and then the Withering disappeared, but it didn't explode.

"Is that all? Are there any stronger monsters?" Ais asked Senju outside. Senju shook his head. "No."

“That’s a real shame,” Ais murmured, while Senju asked curiously, “By the way, what is the strongest monster in the world?”

“It should be the ‘One-Eyed Black Dragon’ in the ‘Dragon Valley’ secret realm,” Tiona shouted from the side. “In ‘Labyrinth Oratoria’, the Black Dragon is the final boss. It was the great hero ‘Mercenary King’ Wallenstein who risked his life to blind one of the Black Dragon’s eyes.”

“Wallenstein,” Senju said, glancing at Ais and recalling the black tombstone in the cemetery.
