Offer blocks to the end times

With his rage and magic, a tree immediately sprouted from beneath his feet, carrying him rapidly upwards. Below, Mary watched in horror at the spectacle before her: a colossal tree beyond imagination had suddenly grown from the pool, its broad branches seemingly filling the entire cavern.

The monsters that were touched by the branches were immediately swallowed by the giant tree. Mary saw this and suddenly dove into the water and ran away. The outside world was too terrifying. Speaking of which, that 'person' from earlier must have been one of our kind. It was really too scary.

Thousand Hands rode the giant tree back to the place where the attack had taken place, but there were only some melted and re-condensed crystals there, and no trace of the enemy.

After using a branch to support himself as he approached, Senju noticed something strange: a charred mark stretched into the distance. Senju followed it out of curiosity, but after a while, the mark faded and disappeared.

Just as Senju was searching everywhere, he heard

He heard a faint scream and followed the sound. After searching the crystal cave for a while, he saw several miserable adventurers in a room, with a moss-covered monster sitting on one side.

"What's going on?" Senju asked curiously. He waved his hand and used a vine to bind the monster, but it didn't react. The adventurers nearby were also warning Senju, "Be careful, run!"

"Huh?" Senju suddenly pierced the monster, and then found that its shell had shattered, revealing a dying adventurer inside. Then Senju heard a series of loud running sounds coming from the cave behind him.

He turned his head and saw a group of monsters running towards him. He reached out and used Wood Release to block the passage. "What's going on? Are these the people they're targeting?"

"What happened to you?" After rescuing the people from the other side, Senju discovered that there were five people in total. One of them was already dead, and the others had their hands or feet cut off and were bound by vines.

"Who are you? Who was that just now?" The group looked at the wooden wall in surprise. Senju took out some healing potions and handed them to them. "Hurry up and heal your injuries, then tell me what happened here."

"Actually, even with the healing medicine, we can't cure it," the group said with bitter faces, then tugged at the vines on their bodies. "This is parasitic wood; as long as it's there, we can't recover."

"Oh, parasitic wood, huh? I'd like to give it a try," Senju said, touching the vines and channeling his Wood Release energy into them, controlling them. Then, to the astonishment of the group, the parasitic wood slowly crawled out of their bodies and was crushed to death by Senju.

"That's great!" The group cheered, then took the recovery medicine, which stopped the bleeding from their wounds. However, their severed limbs could not be restored. "Thank you for saving us. May I ask who you are?"

“Ah, I am a member of the Thousand Hands Familia,” Thousand Hands flashed his emblem, then looked at them. “What happened to you? Were you captured by these parasitic trees?”

“No, there’s a ‘enhanced’ moss giant outside, and it’s very cunning,” the healed adventurers chattered amongst themselves.

After listening for a while, Thousand Hands finally understood that there was a cunning monster on this floor. It first ambushed the team's backup members and mages, then launched parasitic seeds at everyone. When everyone was weakened, it appeared and captured the group of adventurers.

“I also saw it steal our magic stone,” someone pointed out. Thousand Hands looked at Ai and realized he was actually an elf, though his left arm was missing. “And it deliberately tormented us just now, probably to lure you here.”

"Is that so? It feels like it's awakened. Then we can't let it go even more." Senju looked at the wooden wall on the side and heard a series of sounds coming from it. Some cracks had also appeared on it. After repairing it, Senju looked at the people present and asked, "Can you still fight?"

"Yes!" the men gritted their teeth and agreed. Although they had lost limbs, weapons, and armor, they did not want to die here in vain.

“Not bad, you’re lucky to have met me,” Senju chuckled, took out a bunch of weapons and put them aside, then reached out to one of the adventurers with a missing arm, “Wood Release: Limb Regeneration”.

As Senju spoke, a white arm grew from the adventurer's severed arm. He moved it in confusion, only to find that it was exactly the same as his original arm. "How is this possible?! You can create a prosthetic arm just by reaching out your hand. Thank you, sir!"

"Go get your weapons and get ready," Senju continued treating the remaining people. After a while, the group stood up in disbelief, thanked him, and then chose their weapons and waited there.

Chapter 484 Celebration Banquet

As the wooden wall tore apart, the monsters surged in. Senju also saw the dark, murky monster behind him, which was staring intently at him. It was completely different from the other monsters; it must be the enhanced species. "I'll deal with it. You all better not die."

"Don't worry, we will survive," the group encouraged each other, while Senju, holding the holy sword, jumped over the horde of monsters.

After the monster saw Senju take off, it fired a bunch of seeds in their direction. Several seeds hit Senju, and he was about to fall.

"Damn it," Senju muttered, then stepped on the monster below and ran away, thus avoiding embarrassment. After casually killing the unsuspecting monster, Senju stood in front of it.

"Roar, roar, roar," the moss giant seemed to be laughing angrily. Then Senju saw the things stuck to his body suddenly sprout and try to burrow into his body. However, after Senju used Wood Release, they obediently obeyed and then counterattacked against the monster.

However, it easily tore apart the vines, but Senju could sense that there were many seeds on the other side. He clapped his hands and shouted, "Wood Release: Advent of Tree World!"

However, this time it didn't descend on the ground, but on the monster's body. Its body suddenly swelled up and then exploded, from which clusters of vines rapidly grew.

"Ugh," Senju didn't expect that this would cause the other party to burst, and he himself was also splashed with blood. It's all because it had so many seeds hidden in its body.

Somewhat displeased, the Thousand Hands turned back and began hacking at the monsters. Only after he had wiped them all out did he see...

The five people who were still holding out there, though they had many wounds and looked breathless, were at least alive.

"Phew, that was really uncomfortable." After venting, Senju finally calmed down. The frustration of being slapped in the face right after becoming stronger was finally released, and Senju finally felt the sticky and uncomfortable feeling all over his body.

But then he glanced at the dead man beside him and said, "Oh right, I'll revive this teammate for you."

"Can the dead be resurrected?" Several people exclaimed in surprise. Senju nodded, "However, this kind of resurrection is terrible. You will lose all your levels, which means that your partner will be an ordinary person when he wakes up."

“This…” The group trembled violently; the price was far more cruel than they had imagined. “Then we beg you, sir, to resurrect him.”

"Hmm," Thousand Hands took out the resurrection staff and cast a spell on the corpse. After a while, the somewhat mutilated corpse gradually recovered, and then everyone could feel its heartbeat and breathing.

"They've really been resurrected!" The group was extremely excited, but if they had to choose, they would rather sacrifice more than ten years of their lives than lose this power!

"You guys be careful, I have things to do," Thousand Hands said, glancing at the group from JD.com. He picked up the magic stones and left. He had just checked his experience level and realized it was almost maxed out. He wondered how many unlucky monsters had been killed by the giant tree. After leaving the cave, Thousand Hands saw a river and jumped in to take a bath.

After drifting along the river for a while, he saw the big tree he had planted in front of him. He manipulated the giant tree to grab him and put him back on the top of the tree.

Thousand Hands looked down and saw the branches and water constantly battling. Some branches were being broken off, while others were being transformed into thick branches that rose into the waterfall, allowing much water to flow down the trees.

After observing for a while, Thousand Hands opened his spatial storage, took out his spare equipment, and put it on. However, the losses this time were too severe; almost all of his equipment was destroyed, and even the amulet arm rings he had made were gone. Thousand Hands decided to go back and make them again.

Looking around the space, it was already evening. Yuri, Haruhime, and Noft were eating snacks and studying comics, while Chito and Landoruko were studying diligently next to them.

After taking a look, Thousand Hands teleported home and left the giant tree there, since no one was going to cut it down. However, for the adventurers who saw the giant tree appear, it was terrifying.

The underground city has gone mad for some reason. Suddenly there was a huge explosion, and such huge trees have grown out. It's clearly a sign of an anomaly.

The adventurers here immediately reached a consensus: they could not stay on these floors any longer and had to retreat quickly. They all retreated back to the safe zone on the eighteenth floor and passed on the message.

Senju looked around and saw that no one was in the living room, but there was a note on the table. Senju read it and saw that everyone had gone to a celebration for Belle, scheduled for 6 p.m. at the Rich Hostess Hotel. If Senju saw this, he was asked to go and attend.

Thousand Hands checked the time; it was already five o'clock. After tidying up, he headed towards the hotel. As he walked down the corridor, he saw Bell and a large group of people already there: William, Chtholly, Esther, Nephren, Hestia, Lily, Ais, Tione, Tiona, and Lefia.

There were two maids, Seele and Ryu, standing nearby, and the table was laden with food and wine. It was unclear who had paid for the meal.

After Senju finished speaking, he greeted everyone and sat down. After chatting for a while, the celebration began. It was clear that Bell, Hestia, Tiona, and Seele were the happiest at the party, followed by Lily. The others were guests, especially Lefia, who was full of resentment. Seeing Ais carefully observing Bell, her resentment intensified.

After celebrating for a while, Ryu spoke up, "Mr. Craney, Ms. Erd, from now on you will be targeting the middle level of the dungeon, right?"

“Yes, but that was after the upper levels confirmed our strength,” Bell did not deny it. Ryu continued, “I see. Although it might seem like I’m meddling, I advise you two not to go to the dungeons below the thirteenth floor for now.”

Lily was about to get angry when Ais chimed in, "That's right, you have to form a team to go on adventures in the middle levels. The dangers there are too great for one person to handle, so you need multiple teammates."

“Miss Sword Maiden is right. The strength of the monsters in the middle level, their respawn rate, and the danger of the terrain make it impossible for one person to handle alone. You need teammates.”

“I see. But team members…” Bell fell into deep thought, pondering which suitable adventurers he knew. However, after thinking it over, he was surprised to find that he didn’t have any suitable team members.

Just as Bell was feeling troubled, a voice came from outside the hotel, "Haha, I didn't expect there to be such an interesting place. I should come and visit more often in the future!"

“Lord Hermes, it is indeed very interesting inside, but could you please not keep your eyes on Riege?” Asphie’s voice came over.

Hermes chuckled softly, "What's wrong, Asphie? Are you jealous? Actually, everyone is quite adorable!"

Chapter 485 Gift

It seemed that Hermes had done something, and Asphie was somewhat...

"Lord Hermes has always been like this," he said with a hint of resentment.

"Hahaha," Hermes laughed and walked into the hotel. The maid next to him immediately recognized Hermes, "Meow, it's Lord Hermes!"

"Hey, Chloe, Anya," Hermes greeted the two familiarly, then looked around, "Where's Seele?"

“Seele is over there, meow,” Anya pointed to a table on the side. Hermes glanced over there, his eyes lit up, and he went over to greet her, “Hey, Hestia, Seele, and Senju, you’re all here.”

"Hermes? When did you get back?" Hestia seemed very happy, patting the seat next to her. "Come on, sit down. We're celebrating my child's advancement right now."

"Oh, is this her?" Hermes looked at Bell intently from the side, while Asphie greeted Ais and Lefia, "Good evening, I didn't expect to see you here, Miss Swordswoman, Miss Lefia."

"Good evening, Miss Asphie," Lefia said, snapping out of her rage. Ais nodded and greeted Asphie as well.

"How about that? My child is amazing, isn't he? He leveled up in less than a month and a half," Hestia proudly showed off her Bell to Hermes.

“My Lord,” Bell said somewhat awkwardly. Hermes seemed to notice his embarrassment and began to introduce himself, “I am Hermes. I was Hestia’s good friend in the heavens. May I ask your name, little brother?”

“My name is Bell Crane. Greetings, Lord Hermes,” Bell stood up and bowed to him. Hestia pulled Bell to sit down. “No need for such formalities. Hermes is my dear friend.”

"Haha, from now on I'll call you Bell," Hermes said, looking at Bell with great interest and calling him by his name affectionately.

Seele, standing nearby, greeted Hermes, "Lord Hermes, has your journey come to an end?"

“Ah, Seele, my recent trip just ended, but it was a real disaster. I finally completed a mission, but the client died, and I had to pay a huge sum of money,” Hermes complained, then looked at the people next to him. “By the way, Thousand Hands, who are these people? Can you introduce them to me?”

"Do you two know each other?" Hestia asked curiously. Senju nodded. "Yes, we had a deal before, but I didn't expect you two to know each other. I've never heard you mention it."

“Hahaha,” Hestia chuckled dryly, after all, they were 'good friends' she hadn’t seen for decades. Senju introduced them to Hermes, “These are members of our Familia: William Kmesh, Chtholly Nota Senioris, Esther Magee Valcalis, and Nephren Luco Insania.”

"Oh, these must be the first-level adventurers who logged into the guild. But there are two level 7s. Just how strong is the place you came from?" Hermes seemed to know something about the Thousand Hands Familia. He curiously looked at the people next to him, and William and the others greeted Hermes.

"Haha, they're one of the strongest people there," Senju said, expressing his fondness for the place. Then the topic shifted to Bell, "By the way, Bell, I haven't congratulated you on your level up yet. Consider this cup a gift."

"What's this?" Asphie seemed to recognize it. "That's the Holy Grail of the Unicorn!"

"Oh, do you know Asphie?" Hermes asked curiously, while Bell, holding a cup, was also very curious.

“Yes, that’s a tool that can purify all toxins. It’s made from a unicorn’s horn and is very precious,” Asphie explained from the side. Senju looked at Bell’s somewhat troubled expression and said, “Well, it’s not that precious. I just made a dozen or so, so I can give them to you as gifts.”

“Thank you, Star God,” Bell said, blushing, without refusing. Hestia, standing to the side, was also delighted. She turned her gaze to Hermes, “Hermes, what gift do you have?”

“Haha,” Hermes chuckled dryly, then looked to the side, “Asphi…”

Asphie patted her head helplessly, then took out a few beads and carefully handed them over. "Mr. Craney, these are some bombs I made. When you encounter a group of monsters that you can't fight back against, just put some magic into them and throw them out. They can wipe them out in one go."

“Thank you, Miss Asphie,” Belle said carefully as she took the items, and then Lily put them into the box.

The lively banquet proceeded quickly, but in the middle of it, Loki followed Ais's scent and ran over. Hestia even tried to extort a gift from her, and the two ended up arguing. The people around them could only smile wryly as they watched them.

After the two goddesses argued for a while, Loki pulled Ais and Lefia away, while Hestia wore a smug expression.

While the two goddesses were arguing, Hermes approached Senju and said, "Hey, Senju, haven't we met today?"

"Haha, how could that be?" Thousand Hands quickly denied. Hermes, after sensing for a while, found that there were no marks left by him on his body, and couldn't help but shake his head. "Haha, it seems I remembered wrong. Internet cafes are really too interesting."

"It's alright, the current network is just..."

"It's the most basic kind, and it hasn't spread to the whole of Orario yet," said Senju, who wasn't that interested. "The current 'live-action role-playing games' are much more fun."

“I see,” Hermes also became interested in the future of the internet, while Thousand Hands rambled on, going from online communication to virtual games.

“Oh, in that case, we are also playing a game,” Hermes seemed to have a realization. “We gods descend to the mortal realm to pursue enjoyment and pleasure, and we don’t really die, which is exactly the same as the virtual game you’re talking about.”

“That’s true, but this game isn’t very friendly to the gods,” Thousand Hands shook his head and complained. “Normally, it’s the ‘players’ who level up, but here the gods are just NPCs. Many things that are common in games are missing.”

“Haha, we’re here to enjoy the fun of the unknown and the inconvenience. With divine power, everything would be too easy,” Hermes laughed loudly for a while. “But no wonder you developed the teleportation crystal, it turns out it was because of the game.”

After chatting for a while, the banquet came to an end. Hermes and Asphie bid farewell to everyone, and then the group returned home in a grand procession.

Chapter 486 The Chain of Conspiracy

While Senju was having a fulfilling day, Dionysus was examining the white liquid that Senju had given him. The liquid looked and smelled like milk, and when he tasted it, it was indeed milk.

After the poisoned and cursed people tried it, they did indeed return to normal, which puzzled Dionysus greatly. Could it really be, as the other party said, milk produced by the divine cow?
