Offer blocks to the end times

"Is that all?" Emilia stared blankly at the black serpent disappearing into the pillar of light. Hashirama nodded, gathered all the surrounding matter together, and then used purification magic to continuously purify the area until it became a sacred land. "Alright, don't worry about it. It was never going to move anyway; it was just that its attribute was troublesome. Now we just need to find those people's remains."

As Hashirama spoke, he summoned many tiny ice elements around him, which scattered and searched everywhere. Puck also looked into the distance, carefully observing the surrounding forest.

“Follow me,” Parker said, as if he had found some clues. He started moving in one direction, and then the group stopped in front of a strange, empty snowscape.

"Could it be..." Hashirama looked at the snow beneath his feet, a thought suddenly striking him. He waved his hand, creating a gust of wind that blew away the snow, revealing rows of ruined houses, and beneath the ice lay...

The ground was littered with corpses, many of which were black and twisted, likely killed by black snake venom. Some were torn into pieces, while others were riddled with holes, and it was unclear how they had been killed.

"Everyone!" Emilia cried out as she lay on the ice, then tried to break through the ice to rescue the people below, but Hashirama stopped her.

"Ultimate Divine Purification!" Hashirama's magic passed through the ice, removing the black serpent's contamination. However, the corpses were unlikely to return to their normal state. Then, Hashirama summoned a larger ice elemental, which scooped the people inside out and placed them on the ice surface.

"How tragic," Hashirama muttered, but his attention was on the sky, wondering if there would be any changes after this resurrection.

Chapter 762 The Promise and Resurrection

"Mama Fortuna, Mama Fortuna," Emilia called out, trying to find her, but she couldn't. Dejected, she slumped down. "She must be over there at the Sealed Gate, but where exactly is she?"

"Don't worry, we'll definitely find them," Natsuki Subaru comforted her, preparing to search for the remaining people with her. Hashirama, on the other hand, was thinking about how to deal with these people who were about to be resurrected. Although the source of this world had weakened, it couldn't be said that they had no power to resist.

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, the ice elemental that Hashirama had released returned carrying various things: frozen animals, a pile of strange severed limbs and remains, and most notably, a dozen or so frozen corpses.

“Mother Fortuna,” Emilia cried as she looked at one of the corpses. Hashirama glanced at it as well. It was a short-haired woman with a peaceful expression. Her silver hair was stained with blood, and there was a large hole in her chest, as if she had died from that.

Emilia stared blankly at her, seemingly unable to look away, muttering something softly. Hashirama shook his head helplessly, but he was somewhat surprised to find several corpses of witch cultists among them.

Then he received a message from the ice elements: they had discovered a strange, huge iron gate deep in the forest, but it was immovable.

Hashirama had a sudden thought. He ordered the ice elementals to throw the animal carcasses aside, some to observe the area near the iron gate, and others to scatter and survey the area of ​​the frozen forest.

"Ahem, alright, don't be sad, they'll be resurrected soon," Hashirama coughed, then looked at the two people and the cat who had been awakened and explained the current situation, "However, after they are resurrected, they cannot stay in this world. I will send them to my world."

"Why can't we stay here?" Emilia asked, somewhat agitated. Hashirama explained that it was to prevent Pandora from launching another attack and to protect them from harm by the world's consciousness. Only then did everyone understand the current situation.

“I see. I’ll stay here,” Emilia said, a little disappointed, then she raised her head firmly. “But I’m still asking you to take everyone with you. As long as I know they’re alive, I’ll be at ease.”

"Emilia, what nonsense are you talking about!" Subaru Natsuki yelled at Emilia. "This world is too unfair, too cruel to you. You can't stay in this world!"

“No,” Emilia shook her head and said seriously, “I have a promise to keep here, and I will always be here to protect that promise, the important promise I made to my mother.”

"Uh," Hashirama was speechless for a moment. Actually, he had just wanted to take this frozen forest back as a spectacle. "What kind of agreement are you talking about?"

“There’s a sealed door in the forest. My mother and I made a promise that we would never open it, and everyone died because of it,” Emilia whispered. Hashirama couldn’t help but grit his teeth. She must be talking about that strange door they had just discovered. What was sealed inside? Even Pandora was interested.

However, judging from Emilia's expression, she wasn't going to go into details. But Hashirama had a few guesses, which were probably things left behind by some witch. Hashirama shook his head. "Anyway, let's partially revive them first, and then hear what they have to say."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you," Emilia silently stepped aside, as did Puck and Subaru. As Hashirama cast his spell, dozens of corpses of various shapes on the ground were transformed into Edo Tensei figures. Of course, Hashirama did not revive the witch cultists on the side.

After they regained consciousness, they stood there puzzled, looking at their companions with great surprise. They clearly saw that the other person was dead, and why did this frozen village look so familiar?

Moreover, there were two more human men, a giant 'cat', and a white-haired beauty who looked very familiar. They were all confused about what was going on.

"Fortuna, Mom!" Emilia cried out and rushed into the arms of the short-haired woman who had just been resurrected. The woman looked at Emilia, who was about the same age as herself, with some hesitation, and then carefully stroked her hair. "Is this Emilia? You've grown so much."

"What?!" The surrounding elves, hearing Fortuna's words, all looked over. "Is it really Lia? She's grown so much! But what's going on? We were all dead, could it be that you, Lia, are also dead?!"

But Emilia was only focused on crying in Fortuna's arms, while Subaru Natsuki spoke up, "No, Emilia is still alive and well!"

"Who are you?" asked one of the surrounding elites.

Ling looked over, and Natsuki Subaru struck a pose, "I am the only knight who protects Emilia-tan, the Elf Swordsman Natsuki Subaru!"

"Huh?!" The surrounding elves glared at him with displeasure. "How dare he call himself Lydia's knight! Beat him up!"

Natsuki Subaru immediately covered his head and ran away, but the farce ended quickly because Emilia had stopped crying and explained the current situation to everyone.

“Are we still just undead?” A group of elves felt inexplicably disappointed, but they breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Emilia’s appearance. “Emilia, you’ve really grown up.”

"So you are Lord White Dragon? Thank you for letting us see Ria again," a group of elves bowed to Hashirama, then said firmly, "But we don't want to be a burden to Ria. You can do whatever you want with us, please don't make things difficult for Ria."

"Uh," Hashirama looked at them speechlessly, as if he had deliberately made things difficult for Emilia. What he wanted wasn't in Emilia. These people were too self-important. Besides, the real power was still with Hashirama.

"It's not a big deal, you don't need to worry about it," Hashirama waved his hand casually, talking nonsense as if he didn't care at all. "It's just that after you are resurrected, you will be targeted by Odd Ragnar, the source of the world, and he will make you die again. That's why I provide services after resurrection. Of course, you can stay here if you want, but that will implicate Emilia."

"The root of the world, huh?" a group of people said, not quite understanding. But they understood what Hashirama meant: if they stayed here, they would be targeted by something terrifying, and Emilia would be implicated.

The group gradually calmed down, unsure of what to do next. Hashirama shook his head. "Alright, you all discuss this here. I'll go do something else."

Chapter 763 New Abilities

Before they could react, Hashirama flew off to the side and soon arrived at a place where ice elements gathered. There was a huge iron gate there, ten meters high, which seemed to be for giants to pass through, but now it was mostly covered by ice and snow. The ice elements were working hard to clear the snow, but it would take a long time to completely clear it.

"Strange, it looks so familiar," Hashirama shook his head as he looked at the door. He had a feeling that the door was familiar to him, and it seemed that he was destined to be with this door.

Hashirama carefully touched it, then frowned. This door did indeed possess a power very similar to his own, but it was filled with more seals, as if something was hidden inside.

After a careful examination, Hashirama was surprised to find that the portal was a spacetime artifact that contained another small dimension. Unfortunately, because of this, divination magic had no effect on it.

However, Hashirama was still very interested in what was sealed inside; besides the smaller dimension, there might be something very precious inside.

As Hashirama pondered, he erected a World Wall around the gate and then bombarded it with a Divine Dispel Technique. After a while, a soft sound came from the gate, and then the gate opened. Accompanied by an evil female voice, a cloud of black mist emerged from within, "Hehehe!"

"What is that?!" Hashirama grabbed it casually and imprisoned it with his divine power. However, Hashirama then discovered that it was just a collection of conscious power, but its consciousness was very chaotic and filled with violent emotions.

However, Hashirama then discovered that the black energy was trying to erode him. With a forceful squeeze, he crushed the strange gas into dust. Hashirama's expression turned strange as he suddenly realized what he had killed.

This dark aura is the 'real' Witch of Envy, a personality that Satella, with the help of the Dragon God and the others, split off from within herself and sealed here.

However, because that personality has no rationality and is trapped inside, the Witch of Jealousy will probably be sealed away forever if no one interferes.

"Is this really the Witch of Envy?" Hashirama wondered. After all, a real witch would struggle, so how could she be crushed in an instant?!

However, when he looked through the crack in the door, he understood. It was a world of ruins, but layers of black mist floated above it. Under the cover of the black mist, many objects changed involuntarily, looking very eerie.

"Gulp," Hashirama swallowed hard. Could these be the real 'Witch of Envy'? Was half of that world eaten by her?

However, the other side was truly vast, and there was no life in it, only the power of the witch surging. Hashirama swallowed again, but this time he was happy, after all, he could obtain such a large continent.

What pleased him even more was that the entire continent was attached to the door, making it easy for him to devour it. He returned to Thousand Hands' body, then reached out with one hand, preparing to use the space to swallow the iron door. Then he felt the system suddenly wake up and swallow the iron door whole.

"..." Thousand Hands was speechless for a moment, carefully sensing the changes in the system. After a while, he realized that he had made some mistakes. The Witch of Envy over there was not just black energy, but that continent was also a miniature world transformed from the power of the Witch of Envy. However, its area was not comparable to that of the continent. At most, it contained 30% of the witch's power.

However, after it was swallowed by the system...

It was transformed into the End, a place where the aura of pain converges. The denser the negative aura, the larger the area of ​​the End in the void.

The Thousand Hands can throw all sorts of random things into the space, which will then decompose and reuse them. Matter can be transformed into various treasure chests, while energy or spirit can be transformed into Endermen or Ender Dragons. When there is enough matter and pain energy, End Ships that can travel through the void can also be generated.

"Really..." Senju was at a loss for words as he experienced the newly appeared space. Although he knew of the End, he had never been there before. But now he could directly open the gate to it, and more importantly, even in his Hashirama form, he could still open the End. It seemed that this was a space exclusively for his consciousness.

Thinking about it this way, Hashirama thought of the long-abandoned Hell. If it were similar to the End, he could freely enter and exit Hell by finding a suitable item. But then he realized it was probably pointless.

Unfortunately, this End appeared a bit late, and the black serpent from before had already been wasted. However, it seemed that he still had a white whale skin, a 'rabbit ball', and two strange powers in his ring. Hashirama threw them in directly to observe its changes.

After a small piece of beluga whale skin entered, it quickly sublimated. The surroundings seemed unchanged, but then he saw a white treasure chest condense not far away. He opened it and found a cloud of mist inside, the 'Mist of Vanishing,' which could make anyone who touched it disappear from the world.

The rabbit ball transformed into a golden treasure chest bearing the unicorn rabbit emblem. Hashirama reached out and opened it, revealing a small ball of light inside. This ball, 'The Power of Infinite Devouring and Division,' could grant a biome the corresponding ability, but Hashirama left it to gather dust inside.

Next came two crystal balls that sealed the power of the two forces. The two forces were mixed together, and a golden treasure chest appeared inside. Inside was the item 'Dragon's Blood,' which could grant a person the power of immortality and infinite regeneration.

"Hmm, it feels like a decomposition machine," Hashirama nodded slightly, and tried many more items. Ordinary items were directly absorbed when thrown in, only items with strange energy would produce items, but these were usually conceptual, while physical items were absorbed.

After testing it out, Hashirama returned to the elf village, only to find them roasting food and eating it, with many plush toys displayed around them, seemingly taken out from somewhere. Emilia, however, seemed to be reminiscing about the place.

"How is it?" Hashirama slowly landed, looking at the dazed Emilia beside him. "What exactly is that seal you mentioned? I can help you resolve it."

Of course, that had actually been swallowed by Senju. Hashirama decided that no matter what Emilia said, he would improvise and come up with a solution to the problem.

“I don’t know either,” Emilia shook her head blankly, then continued, “I only know that it’s a door, and something is sealed inside. Only I have the key to open it, but I promised my mother I wouldn’t open it, so I have to protect it.”

Chapter 764 On Natural Dullness and Combat Power

"..." Hashirama was speechless. He had opened the only key, but what did it mean to have the key guard the lock? "Um, Emilia, I don't understand. According to you, once you leave this world, there's no way to open that seal, right?"

"Huh?" Emilia's mouth dropped open slightly, looking dazed. After a while, she suddenly realized, "Hey, Hashirama, what you said seems to make a lot of sense."

"Uh," Natsuki Subaru was speechless. But with that, the next plan could proceed. When Hashirama was preparing to completely revive the spirits, they asked him to revive the witch cultists next to them, because they were friends of the village, and one of them was even a backup body for the 'Romanic Contes' cultist, 'Fingertip'.

Hashirama paused for a moment before realizing that they were referring to the former name of the Archbishops of Sloth. Unfortunately, they had no idea what the current Witch Cult was like, and Hashirama had no intention of resurrecting them.

They were still somewhat puzzled. After Emilia and Parker explained the recent actions of the Witch Cult, they fell silent. They never imagined that the once kind and amiable members of the Romanicontes Church of the Witch Cult would become a group that hunted half-elves with sloth. This was the greatest irony for those Witch Cult members who had sacrificed themselves to protect Emilia in the past.

They stopped mentioning the resurrection of the witch cultists. Hashirama, on the other hand, completely resurrected them, taught them some simple illusion techniques to conceal their identities, gave them a bunch of talismans for understanding language, and sent them directly to the modern world. The oni clan's teaching there had only been going on for a little over a day, and they arrived just in time.

Finally, Emilia and Puck set off, intending to renew their contract once they arrived. However, before leaving, Puck seemed to want to say something but then stopped, only asking Hashirama to greet Beatrice and that he would be waiting for her over there.

Watching them all leave, Hashirama and Subaru exchanged a glance. Subaru seemed different now. "Now the only thing left is that thing. Hashirama, what are you going to do?"

"Hmm, we've just found two experts. They're Roswaal's teachers and the creators of Puck and Beatrice. Having them conduct research on you should be quite reliable."

"Well," Hashirama said briefly, while Natsuki Subaru nonchalantly held his head and looked up at the sky, "someone connected to Puck, Beatrice, and Rhodes, huh? I hope this ends soon. I want to see Emilia as soon as possible."

"Alright, let's go back," Hashirama shook his head and opened the passage to Roswaal's residence. Of course, after they left, another figure appeared here. This was Senju. He was maintaining consciousness in both places and using the surrounding ice elements to locate himself, Senju instantly moved this frozen forest back into his space as a landscape. Then he went back to sleep.

After Hashirama and Subaru arrived, they felt a strong wind. Then they noticed that everyone there was standing in front of the castle, looking up at the sky, where a series of booming sounds were coming from.

"What's wrong?" Hashirama asked curiously. Wilhelm explained from the side, "Miss Ais is having a match with Reinhard. This is the third match."

"The third match already," Hashirama murmured, while Riveria nodded beside him. "Not bad. Ais lasted even longer this time. She'll definitely be able to defeat this opponent soon."

Hashirama looked up as well. High in the sky, Ais was flying, while Reinhard was walking on clouds opposite her, though he was holding an ordinary sword.

The collisions between the two often blew the clouds away, but Reinhard seemed to have mastered the ability to create clouds. A small cloud would always appear where he landed, and each stomp would enhance his speed and power.

Hashirama nodded. It seemed that Reinhard was no longer just going through the motions, but was actually using his full strength to fight Ais, resulting in gusts of wind and roars.

After watching for a while, Hashirama felt a little tired, so he patted Natsuki Subaru, who was staring blankly at him, and said, "Alright, let's go find those two."

“Hmm,” Natsuki Subaru replied absentmindedly, and then the two stopped beside him. The two Donas were reclining on chairs, watching the battle in the sky.

“This is the person I want you to study,” Hashirama patted the table next to the two Donas. The two looked down at Hashirama, then focused their gaze on Subaru Natsuki. “Oh, you’re Subaru. This scent is really nostalgic. Come sit here.”

"Well, I'll leave it to you two," Natsuki Subaru looked at the two curiously, then sat down awkwardly to the side. Hashirama went to find Beatrice and told her about Puck.

Beatrice was slightly disappointed. Hashirama thought for a moment and sent her over first. Beatrice looked at the Senju, who were completely different from the others, and nodded. She had seen the Senju before. Then she saw Puck and Emilia on the side. They had just arrived less than a minute ago.

“Brother!” Beatrice called out to the big cat beside her. Parker turned around and looked at her. “Betty? You came so fast.”

However, Emilia seemed somewhat dazed, clutching her head and swaying unsteadily before collapsing to the ground with a thud. She stared blankly at her hands, wondering, "So that's how it is?"

"What's wrong, Leah?" Parker asked. Emilia looked at him blankly. "Parker, don't you remember?"

"Hmm?" Senju looked at Emilia's condition with a puzzled expression, then understood. "Emilia, have you regained your memories of reincarnation?"

“Yes,” Emilia nodded, “I remember all the times it happened. Thank you so much for your help, Lord Hashirama.”

"Lia, what are you talking about?" Puck asked, puzzled. Emilia shook her head. "I just understand why Subaru has been helping me all this time. By the way, where is Lord Hashirama? I need to go back and thank him properly."
