Offer blocks to the end times

“I understand,” Rick nodded, and the people around him bowed as well. “Thank you. Now let’s make a big splash in this world!”

Rick smiled wryly, while Senju asked where there was a large amount of black ash nearby. Then, a group of people wearing hoods and masks left the village and went outside. After Senju cast a speed-up spell on them, a few tens of minutes later, the group arrived at a deep pit filled with black ash.

"My Lord, what exactly is this black ash?" Rick asked, his guards on high alert. After thinking for a moment, Thousand Hands replied, "According to the information I have, this black ash is the corpses left behind by the dead elves. It is a top-tier material for necromancy, allowing them to gain a portion of the power of the elves."

“An elf species, huh?” The people next to him fell silent for a moment. Senju looked at them. “Not bad. After strengthening yourselves with this, you should be able to control a portion of the Elf Corridor.”

“Then let’s begin,” Thousand Hands waved his hand, creating a huge mithril magic circle on the ground. It immediately flickered, absorbing the surrounding black ash, and then the silvery magic circle turned emerald green. “Go in and stand in line.”

"Yes!" The group responded and stepped into the magic circle. The green light immediately surged towards them. Thousand Hands felt that the black ash on the ground wasn't enough. "Storm!"

A massive storm immediately arose, blowing the black ash from afar. Rick and Shubi, leaning on their swords, crouched down to the side, and a small halo appeared on the steel-cleaving sword, protecting them.

After an unknown amount of time, the appearance of the people in the magic circle changed. Two green patterns appeared on their faces, and Thousand Hands could also feel the strange magic power on their bodies.

Following the magical connection, Senju knew how much their power had improved. These people were Senju's trump cards here. He then made dozens more sets of the armor and greatsword worn by the headless knight, making the group look even more powerful.

Then, Senju had them try to control the black ash. The black ash that came with the storm was instantly absorbed by them, and the surroundings gradually calmed down.

"Is it over?" Rick slowly stood up, then looked at his former companions. "How do you guys feel now?"

"It feels great," a few people clenched their fists, then swung them to the side, and a small hill not far away immediately collapsed. "That's power!"

Several others learned to fly without a teacher, soaring around in the sky, looking very excited. They even had several bright light bullets gathering in their hands, as if they were about to make a move.

“Alright, everyone come back,” Rick said from the side. Senju had expected a few of those who had gained power to jump out and object, but they immediately returned and stood to the side, looking at Rick expectantly.

"For the next period of time, it will be up to you to guard the village. I have some things I want to verify with my own eyes. If nothing unexpected happens, the great war that has lasted for thousands of years will soon be over," Rick said loudly to his green-clad companions, who looked at him excitedly. "Really?"

However, as they approached, Rick felt a heat in his hand, and a circle of light protected him. The group was puzzled, "What is this?"

"Ahem, so the energy you're emitting right now is too harmful to living beings," Senju said from the side, rummaging through his belongings for suitable items. Finally, he came up with a good piece of equipment: a cloak coated with anti-magic stone powder, which should be able to mitigate the effects.

After the cloaks were made and a group of people put them on, the dangerous radiation disappeared.

Then the group moved toward the village. Nothing happened along the way. The group reappeared at the waterfall, and Rick ordered them to defend the perimeter of the village.

Then the three returned to the village. Rikka, holding Shubi's hand, looked at Senju and said, "So, God..."

"Human, can you let us see your world?"

“Of course,” Senju nodded and opened the spatial portal. However, when the three of them came out of the portal, Senju’s expression changed. The surroundings were a void filled with countless lights, clearly not his home. Senju tried to open the space, but there was no response. He couldn’t help but panic.

Chapter 620 An Assassination from the River of Time

“So beautiful,” the two people beside him were completely mesmerized by the surrounding light, while Senju’s face had turned ashen. “Be careful, this is not my world.”

"What?!" Rick exclaimed in surprise, then a relaxed boyish voice came from beside him, "Of course, this is my world! Rick, it's been a long time."

"Who are you?" Rick scrutinized the other person. The boy opposite him wore a large hat, and his pupils were shaped like diamonds and spades. After a while, he said uncertainly, "God of Games? You really exist."

"Well, I haven't truly been born yet," the God of Games shook his head and smiled at Senju. "Yo, Senju, I've been waiting for you for a long time. You've finally arrived. You did a good job over there."

"The future, time, what a troublesome thing," Senju said somberly. He felt all the power in his body disappear. He hadn't expected that the gods here could travel through time. Did that mean the outcome was already predetermined? He had fallen into a trap. "Fine, I'll give up on this side."

“Don’t worry, I won’t leave you here,” Tetu said with a smile, seemingly noticing Thousand Hands’ worry. “However, I can give you a chance to compete for the throne of the One God, as long as you beat me in this game.”

As Tetu spoke, he unfolded a chessboard with many chess pieces on it. "Alright, let's play a game!"

"..." Senju watched speechlessly from the side. The world really was on the chessboard. However, "Um, I don't know how to play chess."

"Bang bang bang!" The three people next to him all pounced on the board. Rick stood up and complained, "This isn't chess! This is Western chess!"

“Chess? I only know this is a knight,” Thousand Hands pointed to a knight’s head piece, and Tetu looked at Thousand Hands speechlessly. “Anyway, you can all challenge and have the chance to change history.”

"What will the future hold?" Rick asked from the side. Tet smiled mysteriously. "While I can't tell you everything, everything is within your calculations. You will end the great war that has lasted for a thousand years."

“I see. So that’s why you are the one and only god of the future,” Rick said softly, then reached for the chessboard. “It’s been a long time. Let’s play a game.”

“I couldn’t be happier,” Tet smiled. “If you win, I’ll tell you everything that happened and give the Thousand Hands a chance to compete for the Star Cup.”

“I see. So you’re saying I’m also responsible for the birth of the one true god. That’s incredible,” Rick chuckled, then moved a piece. “But history has indeed changed, hasn’t it? The proof is your appearance.”

“That’s right,” Tetu nodded, moving his pieces as well. “The appearance of the Thousand Hands has caused fluctuations in the River of Time. Although these fluctuations may slowly disappear into the long river, they may also cause a devastating blow to the reality I live in.”

“So, because of the appearance of the Thousand Hands, the probability of others obtaining the Star Grail has increased, and the result will be completely different,” Rick said, expressing his speculation. Tet nodded, “That’s right, because this change is so strong, that’s why I came back to take a look.”

“I see. So what will happen to those of us who have been modified by the Thousand Hands?” Rick moved the chess pieces and frowned. Tet smiled and winked. “Don’t worry, I’m going to watch your performance. Go ahead and cause a ruckus. There will be a bonus at the end.”

“I see, then I’m relieved,” Rick nodded easily, and Tet smiled. “Well then, General!”

"..." Senju was speechless. He had hoped that Rick would create a miracle, but nothing happened. Tet stood up and stretched. "In that case, it's my victory."

“If you, Thousand-Handed God, are interested in the throne of the One God, you can come back to this world a year from now and try to challenge me then,” Tetu said with a smile. Thousand-Handed God felt speechless. “A year from now?”

“That’s right. After you leave, I will gradually speed up the time in this world until it stops at my ‘now’ time,” Tetto said with a casual smile. Senju felt a chill run down his spine. Who would want to go to Tetto’s lair?

“Although I don’t know what I did in the past, I am completely different now,” Rick said with a smile, looking at Tet. “Wouldn’t that cause the future to collapse?”

“It’s okay, it’s part of the fun,” Tetto said, waving his hand. Then, after thinking for a moment, he added, “By the way, as a reward, you and Shubi will get a second chance.”

“I see,” Rick nodded, while Senju didn’t quite understand what he meant by the chance to start over, but there was nothing more for him to do here.

“Well then, see you in a year. Let’s have another game then,” Tet said, slowly rising into the air and disappearing. Then, the surroundings suddenly brightened, and Senju realized he was back in his own world.

Inside the house, but Rick and Shubi were no longer there.

"Looks like this trip was a loss. Luckily, I didn't lose my life," Thousand Hands said helplessly as he watched the coordinates on the starship turn gray. He had been worried that Tetu might kill him, but thankfully, the other party wasn't a decisive god. However, this also served as a reminder to Thousand Hands that one should be cautious when traveling through time, and it's best to avoid gods.

Just as he was thinking, a hole suddenly opened up beside him, and a bunch of things fell out with a clatter. Senju looked at them and saw that they were the adventurer login device and cards that he had left there, as well as a bunch of equipment and some mithril fragments that he had left behind.

"..." Senju looked at it speechlessly. It was already late at night, so she decided to go to sleep.

After he finished sleeping, he looked speechlessly at the three bedrock dolls wearing tattered armor that had appeared in the garbage heap next to him. They seemed to be undead knights he had made, but they no longer looked like normal people. They were just dolls with green patterns, but they were emitting strong undead energy.

They seemed to have no reaction at all. Thousand Hands connected with them and discovered that what had been thrown over there was just an empty shell; the soul inside had long since disappeared. "They really are stingy."

“But these seem like they could be made into chimeras,” Senju thought, but what came to mind was a savage, laughing male snake-man. He quickly shook his head. “Never mind, let’s put them away for now. These are precious materials, and they might come in handy later.”

After storing the empty shells in his space, Senju prepared to go out. However, while eating, several more shells fell down beside him, their necromantic auras injuring a few people. Senju didn't say anything and simply put them away.

For the past few days, Thousand Hands has not left the castle. He has been studying the magic of the Skywing race and learning various spells from other members, preparing to work hard to improve himself.

Chapter 621 The Person Thrown Over

By learning magic from others, Senju developed a new divination technique. However, this technique was not very accurate in predicting the future, but it was very accurate in predicting the past. However, after using it many times, it would cause harm to Senju, so he sealed it away.

A few days later, Senju stopped losing people and started losing weapons. Every now and then, intact or broken steel swords would fall out, and Senju could tell from the marks on them that the battle had been fierce.

Thinking back to those androids from before, Senju originally thought that Tet had preserved their souls, but now he thinks it's possible that their souls were erased, although that conclusion is worse.

People around were initially very interested in the things that fell around Senju, but after examining them a few times, they found they were useless and went about their own business. The guards went to fight, the maids practiced music, and Senju and the others went to soak in the hot springs.

The adventurer registration cards in the space have been completed. Although the vast majority of people are adventurers, Thousand Hands still took the opportunity to spread his skills. Everyone received ten upgrade potions and learned some skills. Some people also had some skills of their own. The atmosphere in the space became lively, and the economy began to develop slowly.

Senju, meanwhile, lazily stayed in the castle, having long since abandoned any thought of striving for improvement. On the seventh day, a broken robot clattered down beside Senju. Its outer skin seemed to have melted, and it was uttering a faint sound, "Rick..."

Upon closer inspection, Senju realized that it was actually Shubi. He quickly took out his small hammer and started tapping it, setting it to the highest level of repair. With each tap, Shubi gradually returned to its original form, eventually reverting to its usual hooded appearance.

"Rick!" Shubi yelled and sat up, then looked around. "Where am I? Wasn't I dead?"

While repairing it, Senju discovered that Shubi's internal circuitry was strange. It seemed that the machine type was completely different from the robot structure he had imagined. He could now create clones of Shubi.

However, during the repair, Senju discovered that he had obtained a lot of data on the Machine Gundams stored in Shubi's body, including the models and structures of the Machine Gundams, various combat skills and scenarios. However, there was also a lot that he couldn't see. But Senju discovered that the last battle was a scene of Shubi and Riku fighting Jibril together. "Shubi, what happened over there?"

"What happened?" Shubi thought for a moment, then her face suddenly turned red. She covered her face and rolled around on the ground, "So embarrassing, so embarrassing!"

“This robot looks broken,” Senju complained from the side. Shubi looked up and replied, “I’m not broken. I just truly understand ‘heart.’ I’m going back to find Riku!”

How do we get back?

"There's always a way!" Hugh said stubbornly, as if he wanted to activate some skill, but then his body went limp and he sat down on the ground. "There are too few elves, not enough to support the needs of the battle."

“The Elf Corridor,” Senju said, looking at her, he understood. It was probably related to the electric grid and electrical appliances. “So you’re powered by magic. Use this as a substitute for now.”

Senju took out a jade branch from Penglai and handed it to her. After Shubi took it, she sensed it and said, "An infinite spirit, this gives us a greater chance of success."

Seeing Shubi struggling, Senju thought for a moment and then said, "Maybe Riku will come here in a few days, so don't be too anxious."

“But I want to see him, I don’t want to waste a single second,” Shubi said, placing the Hourai Jade Branch on her shoulder. “External facilities loading!”

With a flash of light, Shubi seemed to regain her strength, and then countless mechanical parts suddenly appeared behind her, condensing into a giant clock. "Full Codex Deployment - Hyperspace Jump Calculation!"

The clock behind her spun wildly, slowly opening a hole in front of her. Just as she was overjoyed, Tetto's voice came from inside, "This won't do. I finally managed to get you out, and Rick will be out soon too."

“Really?” Shubi called out into the room, and Tet replied, “Of course, consider this my small token of gratitude.”

As the black hole disappeared, the clock behind Shubi shattered, and the Hourai Jade Branch on her shoulder broke off. She collapsed to the ground. "I'll wait here, Riku, hurry up!"

While watching Senju breathe a sigh of relief, although he knew that the Machine Race evolved very quickly, evolving into the ability to jump through time was just too much!

The commotion attracted the attention of others. A group of people gathered around when they saw a dazed little girl next to Senju. The maids pushed the guards aside and started discussing Shubi, saying, "She's so cute, I want to take her home."

"Is this also a doll? What are these decorations?"

"Shubi is not a doll!"

"Wow, it spoke! And it's so cute! Go play with the older girls!"

A group of maids pulled Shubi away, and after playing there for a while, they decided to give the little girl a concert. However, when they saw them take out their instruments, all the guards around ran away, and Senju took out earplugs and put them in her ears.

Feeling the shockwaves in the air and watching the petals shatter beside them, I don't know how they practiced, but their concert has become a skill. Ordinary people will bleed from their seven orifices after listening for a few seconds, and adventurers will foam at the mouth after listening for a long time.

Ever since hearing their performance, Senju has strictly forbidden them from going out to perform unless they completely correct this skill!

After listening for a while, Shubi's eyes started to dart around. She swayed back and forth as if she were drunk. Seeing how engrossed she was, the maids exerted even more force. Finally, Shubi suddenly collapsed to the ground, and only then did they realize something was wrong.

"It seems our music is too beautiful; this little sister is already captivated," the maids said happily, oblivious to the fact that Shubi was unconscious as if she were asleep.

However, what Senju didn't know was that Shubi was evolving. Through the magical performances of the maids, she began to calculate a machine suitable for this environment, and it was currently being modified.

By evening, Shubi was still asleep when the maids carried her to a room to rest. Senju was watching a movie out of boredom when another person fell down beside him, accompanied by Tetto's voice, "I'm leaving them in your care. Well then, see you in a year!"

"Who will remember you a year from now?" Senju scoffed, then looked at the person beside him. It turned out to be Rick, but his arms were broken and one eye was covered with gauze, making him look quite miserable.

"Is it over?" Senju asked, looking at him. Riku nodded with difficulty. "It's all over. Is Shubi here too?"

“Not bad,” Senju nodded. He could still feel the connection between himself and Riku’s clan and cast a healing spell on him. “I’ll heal you first, then you can go see her.”

"Please, God, I never expected it to end like this," Rick said with a wry smile. Senju didn't bother to ask any more questions, since the meat had already been eaten by someone else.

Side Story: Similar but Different Lives

"Damn it!" With the fluctuation of light and shadow, Rick found that he and Shubi had returned to his room. There was no sign of Senju and Tetsu. He couldn't help but slam his fist on the ground, which immediately created a deep crater!

"Rick?" Shubi asked timidly from the side. Rick took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and patted Shubi's head. "It's okay. If I could do it when I didn't have the power, then I can do it even better now."

Then Rick sat there and began to imagine what he would do if he were 'powerless'. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Shubi. "Shubi, tell me in detail what abilities you have now."
