After saying that, Thousand Hands disappeared into the portal. The people behind him were eager to try, but unfortunately, they had no chance of getting in.

The Thousand Hands in Hell glanced at the portal, turned around, flew away into the distance, and then created a portal to return to reality.

However, a small mistake occurred. When Senju emerged from the portal, he saw a square sun in the sky, as if he had entered his own space.

"..." Senju was silent for a moment, then quickly slipped into the portal. Only after returning to Hell did he feel a little relieved. He figured it was obvious; how could a portal appear in reality for no reason? Only his own space followed those rules!

But if he can get in, does that mean there's no problem? All those thoughts he had before were a waste. However, Number Six reminded him that the connection between space and reality is now supported by a special 'door,' so the Thousand Hands are no longer needed as the positioning entity.

This is why the flow of time in this space is the same as in reality, which is why time distortion occurs when Senju goes to other worlds.

"I see," Senju nodded, not quite understanding. "No wonder it's an overpowered item; even a mere door has such a powerful effect."

"That's right. According to the system's analysis, the real name of that door should be the Interdimensional Gate, a divine artifact that can connect two different worlds!" Number Six also reminded Thousand Hands in his mind.

"Unfortunately, it can't affect the flow of time in space," Senju said with some disappointment. People who used this door in the past wouldn't have cared about the difference in the flow of time; they probably used the difference in time to do more things.

“There are two methods,” Number Six said calmly. “One is to completely sever your connection with space, and the other is to completely sever the connection between space and reality. That way, you won’t have to worry about time being distorted.”

"Heh, forget it. Let it be twisted if it wants," Senju thought to himself speechlessly. The second option is possible, but the first one is definitely not!

They flew back to the portal, and then Thousand Hands appeared before the Crimson Demon. "Well? Are there any chosen ones?"

The surrounding Crimson Demons were quite frustrated. They had tried many methods, but none of them worked. A few of them had thought of sending dragons inside, but unfortunately, the dragons disappeared inside and were never heard from again.

Senju looked at them and felt somewhat pleased. "Hahaha, this isn't you..."

"It's all the world's fault! I'm the only one who was chosen!"

"Whoosh!" People around parted to form a circle, staring at Senju in horror. "You, you, you're a member of the Axis Cult!"

"No way!" Senju shouted immediately. But what exactly did the Axis Cult do to scare these chuunibyou (delusional teenagers) like that?

"Hush! Hush! Hush!" The group ignored his explanation and started throwing salt at Senju. "Get out of here! Get out of here!"

"What on earth did they do?! Why are you all so annoying?" Senju looked at the group of angry chuunibyous with a bit of exasperation. "Did you cause trouble for the Axis Cult?"

"What did you say!" the group of chuunibyou (delusional teenagers) retorted angrily. "While ordinary humans may not be as dashing and handsome as us Crimson Demons, we can still accept them. But we simply cannot accept the people of the Axis Cult!"

“Is that so?” Senju looked at them blankly. After exchanging glances, the group nodded. “Regardless of whether you are a member of the Axis Cult or not, we are going to send you away. Teleport!”

"Teleportation?" Senju could feel that he could resist the other party's teleportation, but he was curious about the destination, so he followed the magic.

"Huh?" Senju's vision blurred, and he found himself transported to a main road. Not far away, there was a tunnel leading into the cliff. "Where am I?"

Senju, curious about the new map, flew into the sky to take a look. After crossing the towering cliffs, he discovered a city in the valley. It stretched up the gently sloping mountainside, with a blue lake in front of it. The buildings inside were also predominantly blue, making it look very dreamlike.

There were also many springs on the mountainside, but with the help of Senju's Thousand-Mile Eye, he could see a lot of steam, which seemed to be hot springs, and there were many people bathing in them. Senju watched from there.

After watching for a while, Senju realized that spying wasn't a good thing, and it was all Senju's fault! He coughed a few times, landed on the ground, and walked along the main road toward the city.

After crossing the long bridge over the water, Senju entered the city. There seemed to be many different races here. He saw dwarves and elves by the roadside, so it seemed that there were some of Vilia's kind here as well.

Chapter 610 Hot Springs and the City of Water

After casually buying some snacks from roadside vendors, Senju realized that this was Alcanretia, a city of water and hot springs, famous for its hot springs with special healing properties. Although she didn't know why the Crimson Demon Clan had teleported her here, Senju still wandered around.

The air around him was very fresh, and everyone around him was smiling. After walking for a while, five or six people surrounded him enthusiastically, each with a smile on their face.

Welcome to Alcanreti!

"Sightseeing? Converting to a religion? Seeking adventure? Getting baptized?"

"If you want to find a job, you must come to the Axis Church!"

"There's a missionary job out there, telling people how wonderful the Axis Order is, and the pay is very good!"

"If you take this job, you can proudly call yourself an Axis. Come on, join us!"

Thousand Hands, munching on snacks, remained silent as they watched their performance, which seemed to fuel their enthusiasm even more.

"Many people have been cured of their illnesses, won big prizes, and developed new talents after joining the Axis cult. Why don't you join us too!"

"Crunch, crunch," Senju, who was eating snacks, finally realized that these were probably Aqua's followers, but they were too enthusiastic!

Just as Senju was about to say something, he sensed a familiar magical fluctuation not far away. His expression changed, and he teleported towards that direction.

After several teleportations, Senju arrived at the place where the magic had erupted. He then saw Riveria and the others in front of a shop, with an elf kneeling beside them. The elf had pointed ears, green hair, and fair skin, and was clearly a member of Riveria's tribe. However, for some reason, Riveria was extremely angry.

Then Senju realized why Riveria was angry. The male elf tugged at his ear, and the pointed ear turned into a round one. He was just a disguised elf.

"..." Senju was speechless for a moment, then walked over from the side. "What a coincidence, we actually met here again."

“Lord Senju,” Riveria glared at the fake elf on the ground, then bowed to Senju, “Lord Senju, I didn’t expect to see you here.”

"Who is this person?" Thousand Hands nodded and pointed to the people on the side. Riveria's face was somewhat unpleasant. "We were searching everywhere for traces of elves. A few days ago, we heard that elves and dwarves existed in Alcanredia, so we came to take a look, but this is what we found!"

"Well, actually I'm a half-elf. After spending a lot of time with humans, my ears have become rounder. I only dressed up as a pure-blooded fairy so as not to disappoint people," the fake elf kneeling on the ground said timidly, but the four people next to him clearly did not believe him.

"What should we do with him?" Ais asked calmly from the side, placing one hand on her sword. The fake elf trembled in fear. "I really didn't use the name of an elf to do anything bad! Please, my lord, spare me!"

“Sigh,” Riveria sighed, waving her hand, “Never mind, Ais, let’s continue looking for other elves.”

"Um, sir, are you looking for other spirits? I do know some..."

"Please, sir, enter our shop. Our elven-made Akan mane, crafted entirely from natural materials, is a perfect match for your noble status."

"..." Riveria fell silent for a moment, seemingly thinking about how to get rid of this guy who was ruining the reputation of the elves, but then she nodded, "Alright, hopefully I can get some useful information from you."

Thousand Hands followed them inside, but once inside, they saw a dwarf without a beard. He was probably dwarf in build, but he had no beard.

He was about to say something, but he immediately shut up after seeing Riveria and Lefia's expressions. Riveria looked at him speechlessly, "This is the first time I've ever seen a male dwarf without a beard. I really want to have a good talk with Grace about this."

The dwarf opposite, who had no beard, explained, "Actually, I don't grow a beard because of hygiene issues. It would be troublesome if customers complained about my beard when I was cooking."

"A dwarf who cooks," Thousand Hands was speechless. This place was too messy. The shopkeeper on the side enthusiastically served a plate of steamed buns.

Riveria looked at him calmly. "I am Riveria Leos Alfre, a half-elf. Tell me about the situation of the elves here."

"Yes, sir," the fake... half-elf nodded, seemingly sensing the aura emanating from Riveria, and began to talk about the situation of the elves here. The elves here also lived in the forest, and they also had long ears. He had never heard of any particularly famous elves.

Riveria was somewhat disappointed after hearing his words, but the half-elf continued, "However, there's a pure-blooded elf in a nearby shop; she should know more, but..."

Seemingly finding it difficult to speak, the half-elf said in a low voice, "She has joined the Axis Cult, it's best not to have any contact with her."

“The Axis Cult, huh?” Riveria seemed to have a headache. Senju looked at Lefia, who was also frowning. “We’ve only been here for less than an hour and we’ve already encountered nine attempts by the Axis Cult to recruit us.”

“This is the stronghold of the Axis religion. Their headquarters are located here,” the beardless dwarf kindly explained. “Because of their missionary work, most of the Eris followers have fled.”

“...That must have been tough,” Senju said speechlessly. “But Riveria, you’re Loki’s kin, you shouldn’t be joining any other order, right?”

“Well, although we are Loki’s kin, we are not her followers,” Riveria shook her head, and Ais and Lefia next to her nodded. “Although we have Loki’s blood in our veins, we are family, not followers or gods.”

"Why don't you spread Loki's name here?" Thousand Hands thought for a while and suddenly came up with a good idea. "When there are more believers, we might be able to contact Loki. It seems that the believers here can contact their god."

“Is that so?” Riveria fell into deep thought. “Thank you for the suggestion, Lord Thousand Hands. If we have no other choice after we meet that fellow countryman, then let’s establish the Loki Cult.”

“Well then, good luck,” Senju nodded. “But proselytizing seems quite troublesome. Perhaps we could research the religions here.”

Riveria nodded. "Thank you for your guidance, Lady Senju. We will try to do it after we finish investigating this matter."

“I understand, but before that, we can talk about magic,” Senju nodded, then took out a card. “I happen to have a spell called Refraction that I can use; it can make you invisible.”

"Really?" Lefia asked with some surprise, seemingly frightened by the entanglement with the Axis cultists.

Chapter 611 Travels to Alcanreti

Then, Senju took out a bunch of upgrade potions and 'communicated' with Riveria and the others. When she learned the effects of the potions, she immediately agreed. Then, Senju learned all their skills. However, in return, Senju gave them three hundred bottles of upgrade potions.

“Phew, I didn’t expect to find such amazing potions here. I’m becoming more and more interested in this place,” Riveria nodded as she looked at the potions in the box. “But I still have to thank Lord Thousand Hands. These must be very valuable.”

"Well, it's alright. I made it myself," Hashirama said casually. "Besides, your skills are pretty good too. With these, I have even more options."

Then Senju passed on illusion and refraction techniques to the three of them. After learning them, Lefia breathed a sigh of relief, "This city is really scary. I never thought that humans could be so troublesome when they get enthusiastic."

"Phew," Senju seemed to hear Ais breathe a sigh of relief, and Riveria also relaxed a lot. "Well then, we'll take our leave now. We'll make a decision after we've finished questioning that fellow countryman."

"Hmm," Senju nodded. It seemed they didn't want to travel with her, so Senju didn't insist. After watching them leave, the two women breathed a sigh of relief.

The beardless dwarf looked at his companion and said, "That elf who looked a lot like you was really imposing; I didn't dare to utter a sound."

“That’s the elven royal family,” the half-elf said, slumped there. “The majesty she exudes makes me afraid to resist. But even royalty has come out. Has something big happened to the elven race? No, I have to find out.”

"It's nothing serious," Senju said slowly from the side.

Are you ignoring him a bit?

"Huh, you're still here?!" The two seemed surprised. Senju looked at them speechlessly, and the three stared at each other for a while, the air becoming somewhat silent.

Finally, the beardless dwarf spoke up, "Um, would you like some dwarf-style meat buns?"

"..." Thousand Hands was speechless for a moment. He had heard of the dwarves' forging and fighting abilities, but he had never heard of them having any famous culinary skills!

"Well, thanks, I'll go take a look now," Senju shook his head and left, and the two people in the shop finally relaxed.

Having heard about the tragic experiences of Lefia and the others, Senju used illusion magic to conceal his presence and began to wander slowly around the area.

The people on the street were quite calm, and everyone was talking about things like the great Aqua and hot springs. After walking around the street for a while, Senju saw several Aqua statue fountains.

However, it was carved from stone, and its appearance was somewhat different from Aqua's. He took out the blueprints of the statue designed by Aqua and compared them with this one. The two were surprisingly similar, and people often prayed to the statue next to it.

It seemed that everyone around her greatly admired Aqua, and Senju witnessed five incidents in which Axis cultists tried to recruit tourists into the Axis religion.

Moreover, all the apples they were holding fell to the ground, and kind people helped pick them up. Then, taking the opportunity of expressing their gratitude, they tried to persuade the tourists to join the cult, but most of them were scared away.

Shaking his head, Senju continued walking forward. He was somewhat interested in the Aqua Cathedral here, wondering how it differed from the one he had built.

After thinking for a moment, Thousand Hands dispelled the illusion and pretended to be a fervent follower of the Axis religion, talking with the Axis cult members. Just as he appeared, a woman carrying a basket of apples ran out from beside him.

Senju was speechless for a moment. She had already repeated this five times! Now she had actually come to him. Senju took the initiative, "Beautiful lady, do you know how to get to the main cathedral of the Axis Church?"

"Thud," the apple fell to the ground again, but the woman became excited. "Are you going to join the Axis Cult? I'll take you there right now!"

“Hmm,” Senju mumbled a reply, then helped her pick up the apple. “Actually, I’m from Axel. A magnificent Axis Church has appeared over there, so I wanted to come here to see what the real main church looks like.”

“Huh? It seems like the church in Axel isn’t doing too well,” the woman muttered as she picked up an apple. Senju pulled out a photograph. “Look, this is the church in Axel, and there’s a statue of the goddess Aqua.”

“Oh, how clear, how magnificent! The statue of Lady Aqua is made entirely of crystal, that’s amazing!” The woman’s eyes sparkled as she listened to Senju’s explanation of the photograph. “I never expected to run into fellow countrymen here on missionary work. Let’s hurry to the main cathedral!”

The woman grabbed Thousand Hands and ran forward, as if she mistook Thousand Hands' behavior for a new tactic from Axel to entice people to join the Axis cult.

She pulled Qianshou along happily, and soon they arrived in front of a tall church.

“This is the main cathedral. Let’s go in,” the woman said, pulling Senju inside. However, Senju found that there was no one inside, so she stepped back out. “Um, let me take a look at the exterior of the cathedral first.”

As she spoke, Senju pulled out a drawing and began to look at it. "This drawing is said to have been drawn by Lady Aqua herself! Let me see how this one differs from the one above."

"What?! The blueprints designed by Lady Aqua herself?!" the woman exclaimed excitedly. Senju handed her the blueprints. "That's right, these are the blueprints for the cathedral in Axel. It's said that they were designed by Lady Aqua herself."
