Offer blocks to the end times

“We’ve found a few clues,” Riveria nodded and continued, “We got information about how to build a time machine from the internet. Once we build it, we can use the power of spacetime to open a passage to Orario through interdimensional magic. However, we’ll need Loki to locate it there.”

"Is that so? It's a good idea, but it seems unreliable," Hashirama shook his head. What kind of time machine is this?! It shouldn't be this off track! Riveria gave a wry smile, "I'm still researching this. As for the success rate..."

Riveria shook her head as she spoke, seemingly aware that the success rate was low. Hashirama thought for a moment and then said, "Well, I still think you should start with magic, like wish magic or something."

“Is that so?” Riveria fell into thought, then began searching on the computer.

Meanwhile, the two Donas were teasing Beatrice, who looked annoyed but was still dealing with Echidona's harassment.

“Alright, Betty has found ‘that person,’ so you two should stop trying to access the Forbidden Library,” Beatrice said to the two Donas. The two Donas sighed, “How stingy of them. They’ve completely forgotten about their mother after only four hundred years.”

“Hmph,” Beatrice looked resentful, while the Donas chimed in, “We were planning to travel around, but we’ve been staying here waiting for you to come back.”

Chapter 759 Megumin-sama Appears

“Is that so? It must be for the Forbidden Library,” Beatrice said bluntly. The two Donas were sobbing there. Hashirama looked at Roswaal to the side and asked, “Was your teacher like this in the past?”

"Well, although there have been some changes, a teacher is still a teacher," Roswaal said with a look of infatuation, seemingly a bit off-track on his mind. However, being an old monster who had lived for over four hundred years, he quickly came to his senses. "Lord Hashirama, I've also heard about your activities in the capital. I never imagined that when the royal family was resurrected, there would be demonic beasts interfering."

“Hmm, I’m also a little puzzled,” Hashirama nodded, while Echidna looked up and said, “It must have been done by the Witch Cult, but on the day you resurrected the royal family, someone touched the very foundation of the world, causing the world’s magic power to decrease by more than half.”

"Is that so?" Hashirama shook his head, feigning ignorance, then looked at the two witches. "By the way, I happen to have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

As Hashirama spoke, he relayed Subaru's situation directly to the two of them, and then noticed that the two Donas's eyes lit up. "Tsk tsk, Subaru, what a coincidence. Don't worry, we will definitely cut off the black hand of jealousy and rescue him!"

"That's good, but be careful not to trigger their hidden tricks, or you'll be back to being corpses," Hashirama gave a slight reminder, and the two nodded. "Don't worry, we happen to have a way that no one will find out."

“That’s good,” Hashirama nodded, while Beatrice shook her head. “Alright, I’m going back to rest. If you need anything, you can knock on any door in this mansion and call my name.”

The two then left. Beatrice asked Hashirama for some more comics. Of course, Hashirama tried to dissuade her, but Beatrice felt she was very calm. "Don't worry, I'm just using them to pass the time. Besides, I have a computer, so I'll only read these during my breaks."

However, her words only made Hashirama more worried. He looked at the time; it was almost noon. Rem and the others went to prepare lunch. Emilia sat to the side watching the people riding earth dragons. Although she was stroking Puck, there was a faint look of disappointment on her face.

"What's wrong? Still feeling down?" Hashirama asked, sitting to the side. Emilia looked startled. "Lord Hashirama?!"

"Alright, alright, calm down!" Hashirama, seeing Emilia's strong reaction, quickly gestured for her to calm down. Emilia then calmed down, sat up straight, and slowly said, "Lord Hashirama, are my ears ugly? Like a monster."

"Pfft," Hashirama couldn't help but chuckle, "We can't let Riveria and the others hear these things, they'll beat us up."

“Uh, sorry, that’s not what I meant,” Emilia waved her hands frantically, then paused for a moment, “It’s just that I look really scary.”

"Sigh, don't worry about it so much," Hashirama shook his head. "Back then, I..."

I even saw a half-elf without pointed ears; he wore pointed ears every day to hide his defect…

However, after hearing Hashirama's story, Emilia was still somewhat disappointed. "Hashirama, I don't quite understand your story, but my appearance really causes a lot of trouble for people. Can you understand that?!"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to say something," Hashirama shook his head, recalling the grave of the false witnesses he saw in Corinthian City, 'Here lies the truth,' where lies were accepted by everyone and seemed to become the truth. Emilia, however, lived among countless false witnesses, her own reality obscured by lies, and she took lies for truth.

"Emilia, you need to be more confident and stop worrying about these things," Hashirama advised, but it didn't seem to be working very well.

“Sorry, my daughter is just so awkward,” Puck said helplessly. Hashirama shook his head, thinking to himself who was the most confident person he had ever met. “Sigh, if only Emilia had half of Aqua’s confidence.”

As Hashirama thought about it, he seemed to see Emilia laughing heartily, and he couldn't help but shiver. Then he realized something, "Wait, Emilia's voice sounds familiar...is it Megumin?!"

Hashirama glanced at Emilia a few times, and she sensed it too. "W-what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of a way to boost your confidence," Hashirama said, then contacted Megumin. She seemed to be free of trouble lately. Although she was somewhat suspicious of Hashirama's identity, she agreed to come because he wanted her to be the hero of another world and the Senju. Of course, Hashirama mentioning Leivatin, whom she had been longing for, was also one of the reasons.

As Hashirama opened the door, Megumin walked over, staff in hand. "Where? Where is that kid with the problem? Let the world's strongest mage, Megumin-sama, who defeated the Demon King and wields explosive magic, give him a good talking-to!"

"Phew, thank goodness those three aren't here," Hashirama breathed a sigh of relief. But seeing Megumin's smug look, Hashirama pointed to Emilia on the side, "That's her. As long as you make her sound confident, Levadin will be yours."

“Leave it to me!” Megumin’s eyes blazed with fury as she looked at Emilia, but Emilia stared at her in surprise. “You, who are you?”

She covered her mouth as soon as she opened her mouth, because she realized that her voice was exactly the same as the other person's, but Hashirama found that the two of them had almost nothing in common except for that.

Of course, they are both girls, but one is a chuunibyou, flat-chested, black-haired, scheming, red-eyed, explosive loli, while the other is a gentle, cute, silver-haired, conflicted, kind-hearted ice mage. They both have a cat, but Megumin's is a black cat with wings, while Emilia's is a talking Puck.

"Are you the kid with the problem?" Megumin placed her hands on Emilia's shoulders, giving her her nickname first.

However, after a slight surprise, Emilia turned to look at Hashirama and said, "Lord Hashirama, where did you find this child? His voice sounds so much like mine. It really startled me."

"You go," Hashirama said, holding a Leivatin sword and gesturing to Megumin. Megumin nodded knowingly and patted Emilia's shoulder forcefully. "Listen to what others are saying!"

"Besides, you clearly have the same voice as me, so why are you so cowardly? If anyone dares to say anything bad, just blow them up! And what's with your body shape? Why are you so tall? What, you can't explode? That's unforgivable!"

Chapter 760 Past Wounds

Huihui kept talking, and after a moment of surprise, Emilia happily started talking to her. She seemed very happy to have someone talking to her, especially since it was the same voice, which made her feel less like a stranger.

Parker watched speechlessly as the flat-chested loli suddenly appeared. Although her voice was the same as Emilia's, everything else was completely different. The confidence (and chuunibyou) emanating from her was exactly what Emilia needed. However, the black cat she kept was quite intriguing.

Parker was about to tease the black cat to see if it could talk when the cat suddenly breathed fire at him. Parker looked startled and floated in the air, thinking, "That was dangerous, that was dangerous. It seems we're not compatible."

"Meow!" The black cat flapped its little wings vigorously. When Megumin noticed, she cheered it on, "Come on, Tomonosuke, you can definitely fly! Don't lose to her!"

However, in the end, Tōnosuke still couldn't fly. Megumin's persuasion was also dismissed by Emilia as the talk of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur). Megumin looked disappointed, while Emilia was very happy and treated her as a friend.

Natsuki Subaru also ran over to take a look, because he heard Emilia saying some very chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) things. After running over, he realized that it was a chuunibyou loli (a girl with delusions of grandeur) who was saying it, which put him at ease.

"Hmph, I'll definitely convince you next time!" Megumin declared, sounding like a loser. Emilia, on the other hand, was overjoyed. "Megumin, let's play again next time!"

"Feeling better now?" Hashirama escorted Megumin back. Although she wouldn't receive the prize, Senju had given her a lot of high-grade magic crystals as a bonus. Emilia nodded, stood up, and stretched out her arms.

She stretched and thought, "The world is truly incredible; there are so many miracles."

“Yes,” Hashirama nodded, looking at Emilia, who was in a cheerful mood. He hadn’t called Megumin here for laughs, but to help Emilia adjust her mood before using the Holy Sword Labyrinth. Although it could maintain a person’s mind and body, it was better to be in a good mood before using it.

Furthermore, the method of making the ears round is also a curse, and it's unknown what conflict it might cause with the spells on Emilia's body, so Hashirama wouldn't use it casually.

“Take this,” Hashirama said, handing Emilia a long, cracked sword. He then set up a defensive barrier around her and looked at Puck. “It’s about to begin, Puck.”

Parker nodded, looking at Emilia, who was clutching her longsword in a daze. "I know. I'll leave the rest to you."

After saying that, Puck's figure turned into particles of light and disappeared. Emilia stared blankly at Puck's disappearance, then felt the gem on her chest crack. "Puck?"

She muttered something in confusion, then hugged the holy sword Lapidus tightly. The magic power overflowing from her body was absorbed by the sword and then acted on her. Emilia was there, covering her head, "What is this? Everyone!"

The light emanating from Lapidus's sword intensified, and under its illumination, Emilia clutched her head and screamed, "Mama Fortuna, Hughes, Archie, everyone, Pandora!!!"

With her scream, a powerful surge of magic erupted from Emilia's body, only to be blocked by the surrounding barrier.

"Emilia!" Subaru Natsuki rushed forward anxiously, but was blocked by the barrier. Then he saw the long sword Emilia was holding suddenly burst forth, and the bracelet on her wrist also emitted light. Emilia gradually calmed down, but tears began to flow continuously from her eyes.

"What's wrong, Emilia?" Subaru asked anxiously. Emilia was crying incessantly. "I finally remember everything. I know what happened in the past."

"Don't rush, speak slowly," Natsuki Subaru gently comforted Emilia, who then began to speak haltingly.

Emilia finally remembered her past. Although she felt that her mind should have collapsed, she was separated by a mysterious force, which made her feel like she was watching a movie, except that she was the main character.

It turns out that she used to live in an elven tribe in the Great Forest of Elior, where her foster mother Fortuna and many people who cared about her lived. Bishop Hughes of the Witch Cult also often came to visit her, and she lived happily there.

But all of this vanished with the arrival of the Witch of Deception, Pandora, and the Archbishop of Greed. They corrupted the village with black serpents, and all the elves fell victim to their wickedness. Hughes forcibly fused with the 'Sloth' factor, but unfortunately, he was no match for Greed.

Archie, the elf, led Emilia to escape, but they were contaminated by the black serpent's miasma on the way. He had to cut off his own legs to guard the rear, leaving Emilia to escape alone. However, Pandora found Emilia.

Pandora forces Emilia to open a sealed door deep in the forest, but at the moment Emilia is about to open the door, she remembers her mother and refuses to open it.

So Pandora used her power to confuse Hughes's senses in front of her, causing him to kill his lover Fortuna with his own hands. Hughes broke down, but Emilia also went berserk.

Although she couldn't kill the monstrous Pandora, her rampage froze the entire forest. Pandora had no way to unfreeze it, so she left, only to be rescued when Emilia met Puck.

"Waaah, I kept my promise, my promise to my mother. Why does my heart hurt so much?" Emilia cried. Natsuki Subaru gently hugged her. "It's okay, it'll be okay. There's still a chance to save us."

“That’s right, there’s still a chance to save them. They’re still waiting for me there,” Emilia was reminded by Subaru’s words and hurriedly stood up, but the Lapiden Hibiscus in her arms had turned into a pile of scattered amulets.

However, she was in no mood to care about that right now. She bowed to Hashirama and said, "Lord White Dragon, please help revive everyone. I am willing to pay any price."

"Hashirama, please help me. I'll pay any price, even that ability," Natsuki Subaru pleaded, bowing deeply. Hashirama looked at the two of them and nodded. "Don't worry, I'll help. It's a very simple matter."

“Thank you so much,” the two replied excitedly, then Emilia realized that the sword in her arms had shattered. “Hashirama, this…”

"It's alright," Hashirama casually waved his hand, collecting the pile of fragments. He was also a little embarrassed, realizing that the Sloth he had killed was Emilia's adoptive father.

Chapter 761 The Frozen Great Forest

Natsuki Subaru breathed a sigh of relief. He realized he had no price to pay. Even if he wanted to give his abilities to Hashirama, he couldn't. However, Natsuki Subaru's words gave Hashirama a hint. He found a wish that could be used for the Dragon Balls: to acquire the other's abilities through a transaction. After all, plundering was not in the Senju's nature.

"Phew, thank you so much," Emilia said, finally calming down after wiping away her tears. "Lord Hashirama, can we go now? There might still be some there."

People are waiting there.

"Where is that forest? How do we get there?" Natsuki Subaru asked from the side.

"Don't worry, I have a way," Hashirama said, taking out a map of the entire continent and showing her the relative location and distance between the Eriol Forest and this place.

Natsuki Subaru was also helping out and quickly calculated the location. Just as Hashirama was about to open the door, Emilia suddenly stopped him. "By the way, there's a black snake over there. It's spreading a lot of miasma and viruses. If we open it like this, it'll easily attract the miasma from there."

"Sigh, what a worrier she is," Hashirama sighed, but she had a point. "Wait, let me draw a magic circle."

Then Hashirama drew Aqua's secret purification circle. Although it was full of 9s, its power was surprisingly strong. After setting up the circle, Hashirama opened the portal, but there was nothing strange on the other side. The portal was in mid-air.

“That’s it over there,” Emilia shouted, pointing to one side. The two people next to her looked over and saw a snow-covered forest below.

"Is it there?" Hashirama lowered the portal, and the three of them walked over. Although it was freezing cold, none of them were afraid of the cold.

Hashirama flew up and carefully looked into the forest. There was indeed an evil aura emanating from it. Of course, Hashirama was confident that he could purify it. However, what bothered him was a powerful magical force on the other side, rushing towards him. After a while, Hashirama realized that it was a giant cat that was over ten meters tall.

"Is that Puck?" Hashirama said slowly, looking at the somewhat familiar-looking big cat. The big cat leaped over to Emilia's side. "Lia, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

“It’s alright,” Emilia shook her head. “Thanks to Lord Hashirama, I remembered what happened before. I’m here to revive Mother Fortuna and the others.”

“Fortuna,” Parker said in a low voice, “that wretched Echidna, who sealed away my memories.”

"Are you Puck?!" Subaru Natsuki stared in astonishment at the mountain-sized Puck. He couldn't believe it; he never imagined that Puck, who was usually so small, could grow to such a size.

“Yes, it’s me. Let’s head to the elven village over there,” Puck said in a muffled voice. Hashirama shook his head. “Alright, let’s cleanse this place first. Holy Rain!”

As the purifying light sprinkled across the forest, the foul odor gradually dissipated. Hashirama then stopped, and Emilia and Puck led the way into the snowy forest.

However, the snow-covered forest was completely different from the forest where Emilia had lived. After running ahead for a while, she stopped, bewildered.

"Huh?!" Hashirama suddenly exclaimed in surprise, because he noticed that the foul aura he had eliminated was starting to reappear. "Everyone, follow me!"

Although the three were somewhat puzzled, they still followed Hashirama and then discovered a giant black serpent frozen in ice. It was firmly sealed by ice, but some black energy was still emanating from it.

"Is this the Black Serpent?" Hashirama looked on in confusion. Puck nodded beside him, looking at the frozen giant serpent with some apprehension. "That's right, it is. Fortunately, it's frozen now, otherwise, this forest would have been completely polluted by it long ago."

“Strange creature,” Hashirama said, scratching his head. According to his divination and what others said, the black snake could pollute magic, water, food, and air. No one could live anywhere it passed through. It could be considered the most dangerous of the three great magical beasts. He never expected it to be frozen here. “Forget it, let’s just purify it.”

No one else objected after hearing this, so Hashirama built a super-large purification magic circle there, then dug out the frozen black snake and placed it on top of it.

However, during this process, Hashirama discovered that his magical power had begun to change when he touched the black snake, and the magic circle also began to turn black after touching the black snake.

"Such powerful contamination," Hashirama cleansed the magical contamination, then shook his head as he looked at the abandoned magic circle. "It seems we need to rearrange it."

After a while, Hashirama set up a more powerful magic circle. This time, he continuously poured holy magic power into it to resist the black snake's erosion. Finally, as the magic circle took shape, a huge beam of light shot into the sky, clashing fiercely with the magic power on the black snake. Gradually, the holy magic power gained the upper hand and purified the black snake bit by bit.
