Offer blocks to the end times

After Loki sat down at the long table, he had his men bring over twelve boxes. "These are the items I collected for you last time, including various items, various recovery potions, various antidotes, and enough high-energy food."

"Hmm," after listening, Thousand Hands felt that he had wasted some money, but after opening the box, he saw a red cloak on top, and Loki next to him was explaining, "That's a cloak made of fire spirit cloth, which can effectively defend against fire attacks."

"There are also two magic swords, one with fire attribute and the other with ice attribute."

"The potions are all high-grade elixirs, including recovery potions and mental restoration potions. The red ones are stimulants that can temporarily boost attributes, and the ones next to them are antidotes to deal with various poison attacks."

“Those small cubes are nutritional supplements made by the Demeter Clan. Eating one is enough to last for a meal.”

"Finally, there is the Garment of Salamander, which allows one to move freely in the glacial region."

"I see," after listening to Loki's explanation, the Thousand Hands felt that they hadn't been taken advantage of, so they started discussing the expedition formation. The Loki Familia's expedition team consisted of several hundred people.

Finn's plan was to split into two teams, meet up on the eighteenth floor, and rush to the fiftieth floor in one go.

Thousand Hands originally suggested using the space to send the people directly to the 27th floor, but Finn rejected it. He directly stated that the purpose of his expedition was to spread his name throughout the world and contribute to the revival of the dwarf race.

Therefore, this expedition must be carried out under everyone's watchful eye, without any cheating or deception. Only by reaching the fifty-ninth floor can it be considered a true success.

After hearing his reasons, Senju agreed. However, most of the Senju clan would stay in the space, and only a few would travel with the team. Chito and Yuri came over to join in the fun, saying that they could make a documentary about Finn and the others as publicity.

After talking for a while, Finn realized they were talking about the 'movie' that had suddenly become popular in Orario. Feeling that this was a way to expand their influence, Finn immediately agreed.

Chapter 495 Knowledge of Another World

However, knowing that the two wouldn't stay with the group forever, Thousand Hands had Finn and the others learn how to use the camera. Through a simple explanation, everyone present quickly learned how to use the camera.

After they learned how to use it, they immediately bought several cameras from Senju, who also provided them with a simple and easy-to-use printer that could print out the pictures from the cameras.

Looking at the printed image, Finn immediately realized it was a great opportunity for publicity. It was much clearer than a hand-drawn poster. After learning how to use it from Thousand Hands, he redesigned the expedition poster and prepared to promote this photo poster centered on himself.

Loki ignored Finn directing the team to line up for a photo, and instead approached Senju, pointing to Haruhime, "That must be Miss Haruhime, but she seems to have a good relationship with Aisha."

“Yes, they get along well,” Senju nodded, glancing at Loki, whose eyes were shining, and warned, “Don’t you dare try anything with them. It took me a lot of effort to bring them into my clan.”

“I know,” Loki nodded somewhat reluctantly, “but Ishtar is really something. If her plan succeeds, Freya will probably fail too.”

“It’s just a possibility,” Senju shook her head. “But that plan requires too many things, and it’s impossible to realize now. But with her, our clan will have one more LV8.”

“LV8,” Luo

Ki seemed to choke for a moment, "With such a powerful familia, you can try challenging the 'One-Eyed Black Dragon,' which is the most difficult quest right now."

"Dragons, huh? I wonder what they're like here," Thousand Hands remarked with a hint of wistfulness. Loki, standing beside him, sensed something amiss. "Hmm, do you know any differences between the dragons here and those here?"

"Well, how should I put it? There used to be dragons on the Floating Continent. They were powerful creatures that reigned supreme over all things, but they were all killed by humans," Thousand Hands said helplessly. "And some animals that looked like dragons were domesticated and turned into mounts."

“Uh, it sounds like you’re talking about an ordinary dragon species. The ‘One-Eyed Black Dragon’ is completely different. Its shed scales are enough to keep powerful monsters away. It’s currently in ‘Dragon Valley’ on the other side of the continent,” Loki clearly didn’t believe Thousand Hands’ boasting and instead started talking about the past.

About fifteen years ago, the Zeus Familia and the Hel Familia also had powerful Level 7 warriors. They accepted the commission from the three great adventurers to defeat the 'King of the Land' and the 'King of the Sea', but ultimately failed against the 'One-Eyed Dragon'. This was because the two Familias suffered heavy losses during that mission, and were driven out of Orario by Loki and Freya.

"Is it that powerful?" Thousand Hands asked curiously. Loki nodded. "It's more powerful than I imagined. When Finn and the others reach LV7, they'll try to defeat it. We'll need your help then."

“Hmm, I’m curious too. I wonder how much of a difference there is between it and ‘god’,” Thousand Hands was also very curious about how powerful the black dragon was, wondering if it could be a match for William when he went all out.

“If we could use divine power at will, we would have eradicated it long ago. But this is the lower realm after all, and we still need the children’s efforts,” Loki shook her head helplessly. Then she looked at Thousand Hands and said, “By the way, I’ve been thinking about your question for a while now. You’re not using divine power, but some other kind of power, right?”

“Pretty much, I haven’t used any divine power at all,” Thousand Hands nodded with a smile, but Loki’s expression was not good. “I feel like you’re cheating. Everyone has an ordinary human body after descending to the mortal realm. You’ll miss out on a lot of fun by doing this.”

"Hehe," Senju chuckled. He would be even more uncomfortable if his power were completely sealed. He wasn't a god who had been bored for hundreds of millions of years, constantly looking for fun in different ways.

"Never mind," Loki said, seeing Thousand Hands' expression, he knew Thousand Hands wasn't going to change. "Right, let Finn and the others experience the power of LV7 too. Knowing the difference in power will be good for their leveling up."

“Yes, that’s fine. It’ll be good for William and the others to get used to the fighting style here,” Senju nodded, and then the two of them made arrangements. However, there wasn’t a place here large enough for two LV7s to fight at full strength, so Senju opened up a space and chose a large desert as the location for the battle.

“No matter how you look at it, your magic is really amazing,” Loki said, envious of Thousand Hands’ ever-present harem. “If only I had one, I could fill it with lots of beautiful women.”

“Many people have such spaces, but the scenery inside is different,” Thousand Hands rambled on. “Some are full of sword hills, while others are a vast desert.”

"Hmm, so this kind of magic can be learned?" Loki looked at Thousand Hands with shining eyes. Thousand Hands shook his head. "To learn this kind of magic, you must understand your own 'origin,' otherwise you cannot learn it."

"Origin? Isn't that something used to activate magic?" Loki was getting confused as Thousand Hands kept going off on a tangent. Thousand Hands continued, "This has to do with the 'root'."

“Stop, stop, stop. I feel like you’re talking nonsense,” Loki looked at Thousand Hands with suspicion. “Of course I know what the origin and root are, but understanding that will grant you ‘magic.’ I’ve never heard of anything beyond that.”

"Ahem, this is all magical knowledge from our side," Thousand Hands said, realizing he couldn't fool Loki, so he started making things up. "It all comes down to planetary will and humanity..."

Listening to Senju's ramblings, Loki called Riveria over and asked her to analyze what Senju was saying. Senju then started talking about Gaia and Alaya, and also mentioned concepts like Heroic Spirits, human history, and the timeline, which greatly interested Riveria. She said that Senju should ramble on and let her hear what other worlds are like. If possible, she should tell her how to become a Heroic Spirit and how to travel through time and space. Loki listened for a while and found many flaws, so she just listened to it as a story.

While they were chatting idly, William and Finn got ready for battle. After checking their equipment, the two stretched and then signaled to Thousand Hands and Loki that they were ready.

Then the idle chatter stopped, and Senju gave an order to Haruhime, who then buffed Finn. Loki then ordered the match to begin.

The match wasn't very intense at first, since Finn hadn't yet mastered the sudden increase in power, and William hadn't used his full strength either. However, as the two became more familiar with each other, the battle began to intensify.

Those outside were completely absorbed in watching the battle unfold inside. One of the Loki Familia members even took out a newly acquired camera to record the scene, but unfortunately, the two were too fast, and all they could see on the camera was a blurry silhouette.

Most people only saw that the battle inside was very intense, but their eyes couldn't keep up with the speed of the two. Soon, with Chunji's reminder, Finn decided to have one last clash with William to bring this match to a close.

Chapter 496 The God Maker

"Ferocious Demon Spear!" Finn unleashed his strongest attack, but William switched to a mass-produced holy sword, Percival. "Watch out, sharpen!"

The holy sword William held emitted a strong light. Lila, watching from outside, shook her head. "William really likes to use this kind of move, but he's gone a bit too far."

As William swung his sword, a beam of light shot from the holy sword toward Finn. The Loki Familia members watching from outside shouted, "Captain!!!"

As the light cannon collided with Finn, a loud explosion erupted, followed by a mushroom cloud. It took a while for the explosion to subside, revealing Finn covered in blood.

"What a powerful attack! Is this the real LV7? What skill was that just now?" Finn remained standing, looking over the large hole in the ground, staring at William on the other side, where her teammates were cheering.

“That’s the sharpening technique, a skill that uses magic to unleash the full power of the holy sword,” William said, raising the Percival in his hand, which had already been reduced to fragments.

“Sharpening, huh? That’s an amazing skill. No wonder it’s LV7,” Finn said, swaying slightly. Someone ran in and hatched him, then gave him a healing potion. After a while, Finn’s injuries were healed. “LV7 power is really impressive. It seems I need to speed things up.”

“Finn, you’re amazing too. I’ve never seen a gunslinger who surpasses you,” William said sincerely from the side. Finn shook his head. “Not enough. But Miss Haruhime’s magic is really amazing. It allowed me to experience the power of LV7 ahead of time. Thank you so much.”

Chunji replied somewhat shyly, "You're welcome."

“Finn,” Riveria said at this moment, “the Thousand-Handed God may have some magical knowledge that may interest you.”

"Oh, what kind of magic?" Finn asked curiously. Riveria replied softly, "It's about the creation knowledge of the 'racial gods' and the method of summoning brave warriors from history."

“Oh, I am indeed very interested in these things,” Finn’s eyes lit up, and his gaze toward Senju became eager. “I didn’t expect that the Thousand Hands God had knowledge in this area. Please be sure to talk to me about it.”

"Huh? What knowledge?" Senju was a little confused, wondering what knowledge he had just rambled on about that had caught Riveria and Finn's attention.

Finn then spoke of his race's predicament: when the gods descended a thousand years ago, other races had gods appear, but the dwarf race, known for its bravery, had no gods descending. As a result, the dwarf race fell apart during that wave.

“I see,” Thousand Hands nodded in understanding. Finn wanted to create his race’s racial god, the goddess Fiona, from nothingness. “Although I don’t know much about this, I happen to know a friend who is an expert in creating gods.”

"Oh, who is that? How can I meet him?" Finn asked politely from the side. Thousand Hands thought for a moment and pointed to William, "He is William's master, his name is Nils. I can ask him now."

"Thank you so much, the dwarves will never forget your friendship," Finn bowed to Thousand Hands. Loki, standing to the side, gritted his teeth. This guy was about to steal two of his generals away!

Afterwards, Thousand Hands relayed the situation to Nils, who agreed to talk to Finn, but the final outcome would depend on Finn himself.

William looked at Nils with great curiosity and asked, "Master, why are you out here?"

“Well, I have something to discuss with this young man,” Nils said, gesturing to Finn beside him. Loki, standing nearby, reminded him, “Finn is over forty years old now.”

“Oh, but I’m thousands of years old now,” Niels said casually, then looked around. “To me, everyone is just a child.”

"Tch, I'm hundreds of millions of years old," Loki grumbled, looking at the god who had suddenly appeared opposite him. Nils immediately retorted, "That's a shame. Hundreds of millions of years old, and that place is still an airport. How pathetic."

"What did you say?!" Loki, stung by the attack, was about to punch someone, while William, exasperated, said, "You old geezer, can you please stop bothering people everywhere?"

"Ahem," Lila reminded him from the side, "Master, you are an eighteenth-generation hero, be mindful of your image."

“Yes, yes, you guys don’t understand men’s pleasures at all,” Niels shook his head in disbelief, then put his arm around Finn and led him to the other side. “Come on, let’s go over there and talk things out.”

“The captain wouldn’t agree to give him a woman, would he?” Tiony worried from the side. William shook his head. “Although my master is unreliable, irresponsible, and likes to harass women, I’ve never heard of him having a girlfriend.”

"What did you say?!" Nils's voice came from afar, and then a clod of dirt hit William on the head, making him look covered in dirt. The people around him couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

“By the way, Senju, is Haruhime’s magic cooldown ready? Next up is Riveria,” Loki spoke up after an awkward silence. Senju glanced at Haruhime, who nodded timidly. “It’s ready.”

“Then let’s get ready to begin,” Senju nodded, moved the battlefield slightly, and after the two entered, Haruhime cast a spell on Riveria.

"Begin," Loki said, and the two sprang into action.

Chtholly flew rapidly toward Riveria with the holy sword in hand, but Riveria easily dodged it, her chanting of incantations continuing unabated.

After realizing that attacks from a distance were a waste, Chtholly engaged Riveria in close combat. Recently, Chtholly had learned a lot of sword skills from William, and she was now putting them to good use.

Although Riveria's main profession is a mage, she is quite good at using her staff. Although she cannot retaliate, she can block Chtholly's attacks and ensure that her incantation is not interrupted.

"Ecstasy - Winter of Fimbulb!" As Riveria Zhou Yu finished chanting, three gusts of cold wind flew towards Chtholly. Chtholly also felt the threat of the opponent's magic, and her holy sword shone brightly with blue light as she held it up in front of her.

"Crack!" Everything around them was frozen solid, but a gap appeared where Chtholly was. "Watch out!"

As Chtholly shouted, a blue and white blade of light flew out of the sword and flew towards Riveria. Riveria did not stand still after using her magic, but used her strongest defensive magic to prepare to block Chtholly's possible attack.

"It's really coming in handy now," Riveria murmured as she watched the incoming light blade, "the blessing of the green light!"

Then a light membrane appeared around Riveria, but she dodged the flying light blade immediately. However, the light blade exploded around her, freezing the area into an ice field. One side of Riveria's body was also frozen, but she managed to break free after a bit of effort.

Looking at the frostbite on her arm, Riveria sighed slightly. She had seen the opponent's combat footage before, but she hadn't expected to forget that the opponent could use the enemy's attacks to launch their own.

Chapter 497 Thousand Hands vs. Loki

Although the frostbite healed quickly under the protection of the 'green light', Riveria felt it was a bit tricky. The opponent clearly had a counter to the mage class. In the end, Riveria decided to try the Ninefold Chanting Link to see if she could break the opponent's rebound.

Chtholly resumed her close combat, and Riveria cast the defensive spell 'Veil Breath' to protect herself from all attacks, before preparing to cast other spells.

But at that moment, Chtholly slashed at her staff, and Riveria coughed up blood. "How is this possible?!"

Riveria was quite surprised. Her defensive magic hadn't changed at all, so how could her opponent have hurt her? However, when Chtholly saw her cough up blood, she took a step back. Riveria knew that she was no match for her opponent at the moment, so she signaled to stop.

Those watching the battle were astonished, especially curious about Chtholly's final attack. After Riveria healed her wounds, she asked about it. Chtholly replied shyly, "That was a sword technique taught by William. It doesn't harm the exterior but directly targets the interior, making it ideal for dealing with enemies with high defense."

“Was it Mr. William who taught you? He’s really amazing,” Riveria exclaimed, then treated her injuries and came out with Chtholly.

“Thank you for your hard work, Riveria,” Loki greeted her, then looked at Thousand Hands. “Next up is Grace. Is that little girl level 7?”

“Indeed, Lila can be considered the strongest,” Senju nodded, and Lila stepped out from the side. “Please guide me.”

“Then your opponent is me,” Grace said, standing up as well. Haruhime nodded in agreement. “The magic is ready.”

Watching the two enter the space, Loki looked at Senju and asked, "Is she really the strongest?"

“You’ll see when you look,” Senju shook his head. Haruhime, standing beside him, also cast a spell on Grace. He held up two enormous axes and looked at Lira. “Come on!”

"Watch out, old man," Lila rushed forward, and the two began to exchange rapid blows, the sound of clashing swords filling the air. However, as Lila continuously increased her attack speed, each sword strike landed on Grace's weak points, and Grace began to retreat step by step.

“The Abyss Eye is truly terrifying,” William shook his head. Inside, Grace was also very dissatisfied with his constant retreat and immediately used his magic, “Ground!”

His defense and strength increased significantly, firmly blocking Lila's attack. Lila jumped back, "Grandpa's skills are very strong, but now I'm going to use my real skills."
