“I am Hermes,” he stepped forward and put his arm around Gin Ichimaru, acting as if they were old friends. Senju, on the other hand, felt as if Aizen was holding him and couldn’t help but shudder. “So you are the chief god of Asphi. I’m sorry, I don’t like being so close to others.”

“That’s too kind,” Hermes released his arm. “Yesterday I saw many amazing gadgets. Were they all your inventions?”

“No, no,” Senju shook his head repeatedly, “those are ancient technologies. I’ve only done some research on them, and I’ve made very few actual props.”

“Oh, ancient technology? I’ve never heard of it before,” Hermes said, seemingly very interested. “Let’s find a place to have a good talk about it.”

"Uh," Senju paused in surprise, then suddenly remembered that these gods were beings hundreds of millions of years old, having descended a thousand years ago. The so-called ancient times were only a recent event for them. "This..."

“Is there anything you can’t say? I’ll ask Asphie for help,” Hermes said enthusiastically, but Senju felt even more embarrassed, as he hadn’t yet mastered the skill of being shameless.

"Well, the storage location for those props is classified, so I can't show you around for the time being. However, I can discuss the airship with Miss Asphie," Senju said, using a fictitious base to fool people before steer the conversation in another direction.

"Airship?! You mean the kind of vehicle that can carry people and fly, the one you mentioned last time?" Asphie asked hurriedly from the side, while Hermes next to her had a smile on his face, as if he could see through what 'Ichimaru Gin' was thinking.

“Yes, that’s it,” Senju nodded, then started making things up, “That’s where we used to be, the mode of transportation on the floating continent. We got here by riding that.”

“Floating continents, how intriguing,” Hermes said with a smile. “Let’s go to the tavern over there and talk.”

“Hmm,” Thousand Hands replied, and the three of them entered the tavern next door. Hermes had originally ordered wine for the three of them, but after apologizing, Thousand Hands ordered a glass of juice instead. After seeing the effects of the divine wine, he was also a little afraid of alcohol.

While sipping her juice, Senju used illusion magic to show Asphie the airships she had seen before, "These are common types, and their sizes vary depending on the model."

“I see,” Asphie said, looking at the projection next to her with great curiosity. “What is this magic? It’s so similar to the Divine Mirror.”

"This? This is illusion magic," Thousand Hands said nonchalantly. "It has nothing to do with the Divine Mirror. It's just that there's no similar magic here. But you can go to an internet cafe and see. The machines there can do the same effect."

“Yes, I’ve been there too,” Asphie nodded, then looked at the projection of the airship. “What’s the principle behind this? How can such a huge object fly?”

"Of course, it's still the effect of magic, but the power system here is a spell furnace. It transmits power through a drive shaft, which then drives the external magic circle to make it fly. This is the device for controlling direction and speed," Thousand Hands zoomed in on the airship's projection and explained its internal structure to Asphie.

Asphie, standing next to her, didn't quite understand. She knew that 'Ichimaru Gin' was talking about a system, but she knew nothing about these items, only their names and appearances, and had no idea about the underlying principles.

However, asking about the specific principles would seem like asking for the other party's core secrets, so to avoid awkwardness for both parties, Asifi didn't ask.

Hermes, standing nearby, was curiously poking at the phantom with his hand. "This kind of transportation is really convenient. Hey, Asphie, hurry up and think about how to make this kind of tool. It will be much more convenient to go out in the future."

Chapter 481 The Holy Grail

Don't say

"It's so lightweight!" Asphie remarked irritably. "This is entirely new technology, a system completely different from anything I know."

"Sigh, but Asphie, I really want it," Hermes said unreasonably from the side, giving Asphie a terrible headache. She helplessly covered her head.

Senju could only force a laugh. Looking at the two of them, he suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave now. We can talk again another time."

Before the two could react, Senju hurriedly ran away, and the two behind him stopped making a fuss as they watched 'Ichimaru Gin' leave. Hermes chuckled, "Asphie, was the 'airship' he mentioned earlier true?"

“Yes, although there are many differences, they are similar in many ways. However, we simply cannot manufacture it with our technology,” Asphie nodded and then shook her head. “The technology on that airship is several eras ahead of Orario. Even my most absurd fantasy is a little short of it.”

"Is that so?" Hermes looked in the direction the Thousand Hands had left, a playful smile on his face.

"Phew," Senju breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the two. The floating continent was really useful. Even if someone doubted it, they couldn't find its existence. As long as he gradually revealed the 'evidence' on it, everyone would accept the place.

Senju glanced at the time; it was already noon. He'd been rambling on for ages with the two gods, and time had flown by. After a moment's thought, he returned to his original state and prepared to go to Amid to retrieve the props he'd made.

Ignoring the whispers and pointing fingers of those around her, Senju ate her food and headed towards her goal. Upon arriving at the shop, she discovered that besides Amide, there was also an elderly man in his fifties.

"Hello, you must be the Thousand-Handed God. I am Dean Kate," the old man extended his hand to the Thousand-Handed God, who shook his hand. "It's me. But what brings you here?"

“Lord Thousand Hands, Lord Dean Catherine is our chief god. He wishes to discuss with you the matter of acquiring the ‘unicorn horn’,” Amid explained from the side.

“I see,” Senju nodded, then looked at the old man beside him. “Of course, I wonder what price you’ll offer for the acquisition.”

"Um, may I ask how much horn is produced?" Dean Kate asked from the side. Thousand Hands thought for a moment and felt that he couldn't say too much, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Amid next to him. She knew that he could take out five or six horns a day.

“Ahem, the production is alright, but we need most of it for our own use,” Senju coughed and immediately changed his tune, “If you want to buy, I can provide ten per month.”

“Ten is a bit too many,” Dean Kate said after doing some calculations. “Okay, but the purchase price will be lower. We can only offer eight million falies per stick.”

“No problem,” Senju nodded, then looked at Amid beside him, “But the original deal can’t be changed. Have those items been made yet?”

“It’s finished,” Amid said, taking out a box from the side. When she opened it, Senju saw twelve pure white wine glasses inside, with the image of a unicorn outlined in gold and silver. They looked very exquisite.

"This is the 'Unicorn Grail' that can purify all poisons!" Amid said proudly from the side.

“Very good,” Thousand Hands nodded, looking at the twelve wine glasses secured in the box. Regardless of their function, the design was excellent. He placed the six unicorn horns on the table. “This is the payment for the goods. Please check it.”

“Hmm,” Dean Kate said, picking up the horn to examine it. Thousand Hands also took out a wine glass and began experimenting. He took out several bottles of potions—damage, decay, slow, and weakness—and poured them in one by one to test them.

Then Senju saw that all the different colored potions had turned into clear water, seemingly purifying the toxins. Amid, seeing Senju's actions, reminded him, "Senju-sama, the Unicorn Grail can purify the mud and toxins in a body of water if placed there. However, it's best if the area is within ten meters. If the area is too large, the purification speed of the Grail will be slower."

“I see, I understand now,” Senju nodded, put the box away, and then saw Dean Kate nod happily beside him. “That’s right, these are indeed ‘unicorn horns.’ Senju God is really resourceful; he can actually cultivate this method.”

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it," Thousand Hands replied politely. However, after the two chatted about trivial things for a while, Dean Kate didn't mention the acquisition of Unicorn. In the end, Thousand Hands had no choice but to take his leave.

Afterwards, Thousand Hands went to Naveltri, where they rented a separate small building. When Thousand Hands arrived, they found that there were only a few people guarding the house, while the others had gone to the dungeon to adventure.

After leaving the five 'Unicorn Holy Grails' to the people here, Senju went out to stroll around the streets. There were many stalls and shops selling all sorts of things.

After wandering around for a while, Qian Shou was speechless when he saw Hestia wearing something that looked like a small round ball on her head, soliciting customers at a stall.

"This is too tragic," Senju wiped away non-existent tears, but he had no sympathy for her. After all, it was Hestia who blew up their stall, and she still had to pay back the debt.

.

After wandering around for a while, Thousand Hands bought a bunch of strange and unusual things, and then suddenly remembered Dionysus's nightmare about the twenty-seventh floor, so he decided to go and take a look.

He took out the map of the 27th floor that he had just found and studied it carefully for a while. It marked the place where the tragedy had happened and the location of the floor master. After he roughly understood it, he teleported to the 27th floor.

The waterfall was still roaring, and many monsters were still running rampant. Senju slowly searched along the map. Along the way, he encountered a group of adventurers, but they were shocked to see Senju alone. One of them came over and warned him that there were strange 'enhanced species' here that specifically attacked adventurers, and many people had already died.

Senju understood what they were saying, but did not join them. They did not insist, and slowly left the area.

After searching around the map several times, Thousand Hands discovered that at the site of the tragedy, there seemed to be bloodstains on the azure crystal. On one side stood a huge white stone tablet, and on the other side were several bouquets of flowers, which were placed there by later adventurers.

Chapter 482 Heretics in the Water

After paying his respects here for a while, Senju also placed a bouquet of flowers before leaving to search for another target.

Along the way, Senju slowly killed the monsters around him. After wandering around for a while, Senju approached the target location.

Arriving at the spawn point of the two-headed dragon, the main boss of the 27th floor, Senju found that there were no monsters or people around. He looked around and found that this place was very similar to the place where Goliath was, but this place was surrounded by crystal walls, and the two-headed dragon was frozen inside the crystal walls.

Senju retreated a distance, summoned the two-headed dragon, and then threw a nuclear fireball in that direction. As the fireball shattered, a bright light swept across the surroundings, and Senju felt intense wind pressure and vibrations. Cracks appeared on the surrounding crystal mountains.

"Roar!" A roar came from ahead, and then Thousand Hands saw a two-headed crystal dragon displayed in the fire pit. It was more than 20 meters long and its body was made of deep blue crystal. It had two heads on its thick body, but its originally very majestic body was now missing a piece.

Judging from its agitated appearance, it seemed to be looking for the murderer, but Thousand Hands didn't care what it was thinking. It kept throwing nuclear fireballs at it and quickly killed it. Then, it dropped a magic stone and a huge crystal skull.

Thousand Hands flew over and picked up the fallen items. Looking at the large crater on the ground, the crystal inside had melted, and the surrounding cooled areas had turned colorful, looking quite beautiful.

"Wow, that's incredibly powerful," Senju thought, finding it hard to believe how easily he had killed the two-headed dragon. He wondered what it would be like to put that magic into the Holy Sword...

After indulging in a moment of wishful thinking, Thousand Hands refreshed his attribute table. His level had indeed risen to LV4, and his attribute had changed to B. He could feel the increase in his own power and felt a little restless. So he began to experiment with the power of the Holy Sword Magic right there.

Senju carefully threw a fireball onto the holy sword. The bronze-colored holy sword Escani suddenly became bright. Looking at the sword's current state, Senju felt as if he were holding a giant torch. He swung it forward with force, and saw a rain of light appear in front of him, but nothing came of it.

Senju tried it on herself and felt warm all over, and her whole body felt much more energetic. This should be a buffing magic, but Senju was not sure, so she grabbed a few monsters nearby to try it out. Sure enough, these rains of light were healing magic.

However, the subsequent experiment with the nuclear fireball failed. When a tiny nuclear fireball was introduced, the Holy Sword became scorching hot, and the entire blade almost disintegrated.

The next flashball caused the Holy Sword to emit a dazzling laser beam, powerful enough to melt the rocks at the point of impact, leaving sword marks several meters deep.

In the end, Senju still felt that the nuclear fireball was better. He put away the holy sword and threw around some nuclear fireballs of various types before he relaxed.

After experimenting for a while, Senju left. The adventurers who heard the loud noise quietly came to investigate. After seeing the traces left on the battlefield, they all made a record of it. An unknown adventurer had defeated the 27th floor's boss, the 'Two-Headed Dragon'.

After completing the experiment, Senju flew up the waterfall to celebrate. However, just as Senju was flying happily and about to reach the 25th floor, a bunch of strange 'hidden weapons' suddenly flew out from the rock wall and hit Senju.

"Who is it?!" Senju retaliated with a nuclear fireball, but as soon as he saw the ball of light flying out, he regretted it. This was his subconscious all-out counterattack, which was much more powerful than before.

However, it was clear that Thousand Hands was worrying too much. The opponent, seeing the ball of light flying towards them, did not think it was anything good. A hidden weapon hit the ball of light, and it suddenly exploded in mid-air.

A blinding light swept across the surroundings, and the shockwave caused the waterfall to flow backward. The flying monsters there were in dire straits; their feathers were all illuminated by the intense light, and they were instantly steamed. Large chunks of the 25th and 26th floors nearby were also bitten off.

Thousand Hands wasn't faring any better. He was blinded by the light and then slammed into the waterfall by the shockwave. He fell down with the current and was scalded by the surrounding hot water. The massive amount of hot and cold water mixed together, and the water only cooled down a bit at the bottom. However, many monsters were still thrashing about in the water.

Dizzy Thousand Hands

It took him quite a while to regain consciousness underwater, but his vision was still blurry. However, Senju guessed that his opponent was not in good condition and did not know how badly he had been burned.

After all, the enemy could not have imagined that the power of that ball of light could cover a range of hundreds of meters. Although the attacker was hit, it survived the explosion thanks to the many protective gear and water crystal cloth wrapped around its body. Although it was now on the verge of death, it looked at the magic stones not far away and slowly moved towards them.

The explosion injured not only the monsters, but also people from other floors. Some were accidentally caught in the shockwave, others were hit by falling rocks, and some were even discovered by the monsters that had been awakened. In short, the scene was chaotic.

Lying at the bottom of the water, Senju was speechless. Who on earth attacked him? Did they think he was a monster? It was truly inexplicable.

But then he found himself being picked up, and suddenly there was something warm and moist in his mouth, followed by a muffled female voice saying, "Suck it quickly."

"Inhale?" Senju was puzzled for a moment, then took a breath and felt his vision and hearing return. However, when he looked up, he was startled. It turned out that the person holding him was a beautiful mermaid with green hair covering her body. The thing next to his mouth was her finger, which had been bitten by Senju and was bleeding.

"What's going on?" Senju's face turned bright red. He struggled violently and returned to the water. Then, looking at the other person's frightened expression, he suddenly remembered something. "You're 'Heretic'?!"

"Huh, you know what?" The mermaid, who was about to retreat to sleep, suddenly stopped. She looked at Senju in surprise, and then stepped back. "But you don't have their scent on you."

"Smell?" Senju looked at himself in confusion, his face turning red. It turned out that his armor, wings, and clothes had been destroyed in the explosion, and now, like the other person, he was completely naked.

"Cough cough," Senju coughed lightly, feeling a little flustered as he looked at the other person's curious eyes. He then took out a few pieces of water crystal protective clothing from his bag and quickly put them on.

The whole process was so humiliating that Senju only felt calmer after he put them on. Feeling the effects of the water crystal protective cloth, he handed the remaining pieces to the other person, saying, "These are for you."

Chapter 483 Enhanced Species

"What are these?" the mermaid asked curiously, holding them in her hands for a while before suddenly realizing what they were. She pulled her hair aside to show Senju, "I have some too!"

"A seashell swimsuit?" Senju almost choked at the sight below. Her upper body was adorned with two seashells, making her look even more alluring. "Ahem, let's talk about 'Heretics' instead. Do you know Rei?"

“I know, I know,” the mermaid nodded repeatedly, and Thousand Hands continued, “Lizardman Reed.”

“Hmm, Reed is very cute,” the mermaid said happily, then continued to look at Senju. Senju scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, “By the way, my name is Senju, what’s yours?”

“My name is Mary,” the mermaid said happily. Thousand Hands had calmed down now, clapped his hands to make a raft, and then sat on it. “By the way, why don’t you live in the secret realm up there?”

“Because I can’t fly or run, I have to stay here,” Mary said, leaning against the raft. Then she looked around, where monsters were starting to appear again. She pointed to one side and said, “Let’s go talk over there. I don’t like it here.”

“It’s alright,” Senju said, glancing at the reborn monsters. He then took out his summoning staff and chanted, “Flash Swallow!”

Countless red lights shot upwards from below, instantly knocking down the monsters above. Watching the monsters fall one after another, Mary was also a little scared. She quietly submerged into the water, only half of her head showing. "Um, I have to go back."

“Yes, I’m going to get revenge on the guy who ambushed me,” Thousand Hands nodded, while Mary reminded him, “There’s something terrible in Water City, you have to be careful.”

"It's alright, Mary, stay away," Senju nodded. This time, he wouldn't be foolish enough to fly up there; instead, he was going to use his ultimate move.

“Hmm,” Mary swam a little further away, where Thousand Hands shouted, “Further!”

After shouting for a while, Senju suddenly felt like a monkey and suddenly felt very angry. However, looking at Mary who was far enough away, he put his hands together and shouted, "Wood Release: Divine Tree!"
