Offer blocks to the end times

"Well, Betty wants to live with her brother and eat all three meals together every day," Betty said sweetly, snuggling up to Parker. Senju shook his head with some difficulty. Who would cook for these three living together? Would they rely on takeout?

"Does anyone here know how to cook?" Senju asked cautiously. Emilia patted her chest proudly, "Leave the cooking to me, I'm an expert!"

"Uh," the two people beside him froze, and Parker looked helplessly at Emilia, "Leah..."

“This is also a troublesome matter,” Thousand Hands said, scratching his head. He told the group about the shopping mall next door, and they all seemed to understand. Beatrice wanted to go and explore the legendary city, but none of them had any money. Thousand Hands gave them some start-up capital, and they would have to rely on the funds to make money from now on.

However, Beatrice seemed very confident because she felt she could make a living by writing novels, just like those writers.

Chapter 768 Dragon Ball

After grumbling for a bit, Senju handed these tasks over to the clever Riku. After explaining the problems to Riku and asking him to help find jobs for a few people, Senju simply ran away.

Rick shook his head helplessly, but since there were still many vacant positions here, having a pretty girl could be a receptionist to attract customers.

Senju ignored these troublesome matters and went back to the castle, where he made a large amount of materials and the prototype of the Dragon Ball before returning to the other side.

Opening his eyes, Hashirama found that nothing seemed to have changed since he left, and the person beside him wasn't Rem, but Wilhelm. "How much time has passed?"

“It’s been a whole day,” Wilhelm replied respectfully from the side. Hashirama shook his head slightly. “A whole day already? How fast time flies. Nothing much has happened during this time, has it?”

“Nothing strange has happened,” Wilhelm replied respectfully. Hashirama nodded. “That’s good. I’m going to conduct a magical experiment now. Come with me.”

"Yes, Lord Hashirama," the two then flew towards the forest together, quickly arriving deep within it. Hashirama stopped there. "Hmm, this must be it, Earth Shaping!"

As Hashirama cast his spell, a tall earthen platform emerged from the forest. Hashirama then transformed the entire platform into a stone platform and began to inscribe a magic circle on it.

"Lord Hashirama, what is this magic circle?" Wilhelm asked, somewhat confused. Hashirama casually made it up, "This is an amplification circle. I'm using it to make an item."

After several repetitions and revisions, Hashirama finally finished inscribing the magic circle, then poured mithril on it, placed the items on it, and then cast the spell.

Wilhelm, who was standing nearby, had been carefully guarding the area, but he hadn't noticed anyone trying to interfere until Hashirama finished casting his spell. However, when Hashirama cast his spell, he frowned slightly, as if he felt a gentle breeze, or perhaps not.

After Hashirama obtained the illusion of a continent, he added it to the Book of Dreams through a small notebook. The dream system on the other side immediately contacted this side. Of course, the people recreated here were just ordinary NPCs, and there were no highly skilled personnel.

As the surrounding magic array gradually destroyed, Hashirama took out the prototype of the Dragon Ball, then summoned the Namekian Dende, and used his abilities to create the real Dragon Ball.

Hashirama had initially worried about a heavenly tribulation or something, but in the end, nothing changed around him, and things gradually returned to normal. He then checked...

The attributes of the Dragon Balls.

Dragon Ball (fake), a one-time use item, is constructed using the faith in dragons and the mysterious power of another world. It connects to the origin of the world and can summon the legendary dragon god Porkenica (fake). It can grant three wishes within a certain range.

"Well, so-so," Hashirama shook his head. But as long as it was successful, that was good. After putting away the Dragon Balls, Hashirama took Wilhelm back. He needed to think carefully about the remaining two wishes.

Back at Roswaal's mansion, Hashirama carefully examined the Dragon Balls he had made. They were crystal balls with golden stars, but Hashirama could sense that these seemingly transparent crystal balls were actually composed of countless tiny magic circles, and the golden stars inside were crystallizations of faith power. Each star was roughly the collection of pure faith from 10,000 people for one year. These combined the faith of 280,000 people for one year. If Aqua knew this, she would definitely beg for them on the ground.

However, Hashirama also learned the true nature of the 'Dragon Balls' he created: using the power of faith to manipulate the origin of the world to achieve all sorts of incredible wishes. But because he had consumed the origin once, the effect might not be very good.

Just as he was thinking, Riveria walked out from the side. Looking at the crystal ball on the table, she was slightly surprised. "Dragon Ball, huh? I didn't expect Lord Senju to be able to find such amazing items."

"Huh? How did you know?" Hashirama was even more surprised. He had left the Dragon Balls outside safely because no one except Subaru Natsuki recognized them. How did Riveria know?!

“I talked to my online friend ‘Kuri Gohan and Kamehameha’,” Riveria said casually. “After she heard about my wish, she said that the Dragon Balls could help me fulfill it. I looked it up online and found out that they were items from other worlds. I never thought that Lord Senju could find them.”

"...?! Who are you trying to fool? Do you think I haven't seen Steins;Gate?" Hashirama thought to himself, but looking at Rivera's expectant gaze, he maintained a calm demeanor. "This is just a replica. You only have three wishes. Rivera, are you interested?"

“Of course, with this we can go straight back,” Riveria nodded happily, but then felt a sense of emptiness. “But thinking about these past few days, it’s been really exciting. I wonder if I’ll be able to get back to normal.”

Too lazy to complain about her, Hashirama couldn't think of a suitable wish for the time being. In addition, the Dragon Balls he made for the first time felt a bit unreliable, so he wanted to find someone to share the hardships with. "In that case, let's give the last wish to Subaru Natsuki to solve the mysterious power in his body."

“Hmm,” Riveria nodded indifferently, “but I’ll still need to ask Lord Senju to bring Aisl over.”

Hashirama readily agreed and brought Azir over. Soon after, everyone found out about it. Natsuki Subaru seemed very excited, and everyone looked curiously at the Dragon Balls on display before starting to discuss the three wishes.

After a day of discussion, they finally decided on the way to express the three wishes, as well as the backup options in case of failure, and everyone prepared well.

As evening fell, a group of people gathered on the grass in front of the castle. Several of them looked at the Dragon Balls and waited for Hashirama's performance.

"Come forth, Shenron, grant my wish!" Hashirama shouted, and the people around him watched in astonishment as a slender, winged dragon flew out from the pile of Dragon Balls. "Tell me your wish, and I will grant it!"

“Give me the ability to possess intangible things like trading concepts, skills, and talents,” Hashirama spoke first, and Shenron nodded. “It’s very simple.”

Hashirama then realized he had gained a new ability: through voluntary transactions between two parties, after paying a corresponding price, he could receive a corresponding reward.

As Hashirama nodded happily, Riveria stepped forward and pointed to Lefia and Ais beside her, "Send us back to the world we were born in."

“Hmm,” the dragon remained silent for a while before speaking, “I’m sorry, I cannot grant this wish. I cannot interfere in the affairs of other worlds.”

Chapter 769 Making a Wish

“Um,” Riveria paused for a moment, then said, “Then please tell me all the exact ways it is possible to get back to that world.”

“Yes,” the dragon nodded and began to explain the method, “You can have the people over there build a summoning array, and based on your mutual attraction with the original world, they can summon you back.”

As he spoke, the dragon sent a message to Riveria, who nodded, "I see. It seems I'll have to trouble Loki."

Hashirama watched curiously, but now was not the time to ask. It was Subaru Natsuki's turn to make a wish. His wish was to eliminate the Witch of Envy. Of course, there were alternatives: to strip Satella of her witch genes and bring the Witch of Envy over, or to tell everyone how to eliminate the Witch of Envy, or to sever Subaru Natsuki's connection with her.

But the dragon spoke up, "The witch of jealousy has been destroyed."

"Huh?!" The people below were stunned. Hashirama then remembered that he had secretly taken the sealing gate with him, and the black smoke inside did indeed seem to be 'Jealousy'.

'Witch'! But there's also Satella!

"Do you still want to make wishes?" Shenlong asked, looking at the noisy scene below. Natsuki Subaru suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Then, send me back to life..."

"Not good!" Hashirama saw black smoke billowing from Natsuki Subaru's body as he was making his wish, and he instantly activated the barrier he had prepared for the Witch of Envy.

"Clang clang clang!" Ripples spread across the transparent barrier, startling everyone around. Hashirama also noticed that the dragon beside him seemed to be sweating.

However, the black smoke failed to break through the barrier and instead attacked Subaru Natsuki. But the black hands had no effect on Subaru Natsuki. After all, Subaru Natsuki was the key to the restart. His defensive spells were more numerous, stronger, and more comprehensive. Compared to the external barrier that could only be entered but not exited, his barrier could only be exited but not entered.

"It's Satella!" the two Donas next to her shouted, and everyone around them realized what was going on. After all, they had mentioned during their discussion that Satella and the Witch of Envy were two different personalities.

However, the black smoke inside the barrier grew thicker and thicker until it became visible. Then it contracted and transformed into a humanoid shape obscured by black smoke.

"Is this the Witch of Envy sealed by our ancestors?" Reinhard stared intently at the girl inside. Hashirama had made him a dragon sword to prevent any accidents before bringing him over, and also mentioned the combatants nearby.

The two Donas, the enhanced Wilhelm and Theresa, the combined demon girl Leila, Hashirama with full equipment and attribute enhancements, along with Roswaal and Riveria, who were not originally included in the combat power. According to the order of wishes, they should have left, but now they have also become reliable combat power.

As for Leila, she is a purple-haired oni girl who looks like both Ram and Rem. Of course, they are twins, a result of Hashirama merging Ram and Rem. They use short-lived fusion earrings made by Hashirama.

The aura they exuded after merging was awe-inspiring. They were originally twins who shared two horns belonging to a normal demon. After merging, they regained the form of two horns, and their power increased dozens of times, making them even stronger than Reinhard.

Because the attack didn't last long, she saw Satella appear and couldn't help but jump in, attacking Satella. The surging power even tore through the black smoke, but Leila couldn't help but stop. "Lady Emilia?!"

"She's Satella!" The two Donas showed no mercy, unleashing a barrage of spells at Satella's face while simultaneously shouting at the dragon, "Kill Satella completely!"

"Very well," the dragon was about to unleash its power, its eyes gleaming, "this wish cannot be granted!"

"What use are you!" The two Donas were so angry they almost vomited blood, but this 'Satella' was just a phantom clone, and was quickly suppressed by the two Donas, who then locked her in a book.

"Hmph, we've finally caught her tail," the two Donas looked quite pleased with themselves, but the dragon was urging them on, "If you have no wishes, I'm leaving."

"Wait!" Subaru Natsuki shouted, "Remove the witch factor from Satella and turn her into a normal girl!"

"This wish can be granted!" After the dragon finished speaking, many glowing cracks slowly appeared on its body. It added, "Satella, who has become an ordinary girl, is currently being sealed away. I hope you can rescue her soon, otherwise she will die in a few days."

After saying that, the dragon suddenly exploded, and then a pile of stone balls fell from the sky, covered with cracks, and turned into powder as the night wind blew.

“Uh,” Natsuki Subaru paused for a moment, “what does this mean?”

“Well done,” the two Donas came over and patted him on the shoulder. “This way, both Satella’s and your problems can be easily solved.”

"Was that really the Witch of Envy? I didn't expect her to look so much like Emilia," Leila said in confusion. Natsuki Subaru stared blankly for a moment before looking at Hashirama. "Hashirama, I want to rescue Satella!"

"Hmm," Hashirama nodded slightly. In his vision, the black aura around Subaru Natsuki suddenly intensified several hundred times, but it seemed that no one was controlling it anymore; it was just swaying aimlessly around him. "Could it be that the Witch of Envy's genes have transferred to him?"

However, this couldn't be verified, so Hashirama had to give up. He figured he could use the time he was going to rescue Satella to observe the changes in Satella, lest he bring a bomb to Aqua.

Leila seemed to have noticed as well, and she took a few steps back in disgust. Of course, Hashirama thought that the two Donas had also noticed, and they were surrounding Subaru Natsuki, trying to persuade him not to go and save Satella.

"Looks like this isn't my business," Reinhard said with a wry smile, before being sent back by Hashirama. According to him, Riku had made him the town's ambassador and was currently training him.

Seeing the two Donas pestering Subaru with questions, Hashirama walked over to Riveria and asked, "So, is the method you obtained feasible?"

“Yes, it’s possible,” Riveria told Hashirama about the magic circle. After looking at it for a while, Hashirama roughly understood the principle behind the magic circle.

This is a magic that uses the will of the world to call back its favorites. As first-class adventurers, Ais and Riveria are undoubtedly the world's favorites, and of course, Lefia can also be considered one.

They could be brought back by communicating with the world's will through a magic circle. However, Hashirama didn't think it would be a big problem. After all, the 'will of heaven' over there was no longer the world's will, but rather a group of gods. As long as they held a meeting and agreed to Ais and the others' return, the magic circle could work its magic.

Chapter 770 The Sage's Tower in the Dunes

Although Riveria felt that what Hashirama said was unreliable, she still relayed his words to Loki. After hearing that there was a way to recall his wife, Loki began to collect materials for building the magic circle. Of course, the materials provided by Shenron were all available in the Orario world, otherwise it wouldn't be a feasible method.

Rem and Ram, who were on the side, also broke their fusion. They were still savoring the feeling from just now, lost in thought, and it took them a while to come out of that feeling.

The two Donas wanted to drag Natsuki Subaru away for research, but Natsuki Subaru shouted loudly, "Satella is just an ordinary girl now. It's too pitiful for her to be sealed away. Let's hurry up and save her."

“No need to rush, no need to rush,” the two Donas said nonchalantly. “Let her stay in the seal for a few more days. Anyway, she’s sleeping inside and doesn’t feel anything. A few days will be fine.”

"Is it really okay to go and rescue the Witch of Envy?" Wilhelm whispered to Hashirama. "Not to mention the disaster she might bring, we can't even get through the Sage's Tower because of its blockade."

“Hmm, that is a problem,” Hashirama nodded. He had only heard about the Sage’s Tower’s attack from others, but he didn’t know how strong it was. However, since it could block Reinhard, its power should be very strong. But Reinhard didn’t seem to be injured, so it didn’t seem very strong either.

"Don't worry, we'll find a way," Hashirama reassured Wilhelm. "If she comes out and continues to do evil, I'll personally eliminate her."

"Yes," Wilhelm could only agree from the side. Natsuki, who was next to him, broke free from the two Donas's hands and ran to Hashirama's side. "Hashirama, let's go save Satella. She must be in great danger right now."

"Hmm?" Hashirama was puzzled. Natsuki Subaru seemed a bit off. When they were discussing things earlier, he hadn't shown this much sympathy for Satella. "Subaru, what's wrong? Something's not right. Why are you so eager to go save Satella?"

"Huh?!" Natsuki Subaru also woke up suddenly, but after rubbing his head, he said, "It's strange, after Shenlong said his last words, I felt that I had to go and save her."

"Is that so?" Hashirama shook his head, then looked Natsuki Subaru over more carefully. Apart from having a lot more of the witch's aura around him, everything else about him was normal. Even regarding the 'Return by Death', there was nothing unusual. "Do you know where Satella is right now?"

“Hmm, it should be in this direction,” Natsuki Subaru said, pointing in a direction after carefully sensing the area. “However, it’s very far away, so I can’t pinpoint the exact location.”

“This is a bit troublesome,” Hashirama said, scratching his head. If the distance is uncertain, it will take many attempts to open the door. Theresa looked in that direction. “In that direction, it should be the Ouglia Sand Dunes. That is a large desert at the easternmost edge of the kingdom. It will take several days to get there, and exploring it requires special earth dragons and dealing with various monsters in the desert.”

“There’s no need to worry about that,” Hashirama shook his head slightly and looked in that direction. “So it’s that desert. That makes things easier.”

After all, when Hashirama obtained information about the entire continent, he already knew the exact location of that desert, so now he could simply open the gate and go there.

"Let's go under the cover of night," Hashirama said, opening the door. A cloud of sand swirled out as a return gift, and he quickly closed the portal. "Pah! Even if it's a desert, the environment is too harsh!"

“Ah, it’s sand time over there. The sandstorm will blow for hours,” Roswaal sighed as the person next to him was also sprayed with sand. Then Echidna patted him on the shoulder, “Little Roswaal, don’t imitate that guy’s tone.”

“Yes, teacher,” Roswaal replied in a rare moment of normal tone. Seeing Hashirama’s puzzled expression, he briefly explained the issue of ‘sand time’.

That's a famous unique feature of the Ouglija Sand Dunes, the 'sand hours' that make the sandstorms extremely intense, three times a day: in the morning, in the afternoon, and late at night, with sandstorms and miasma blowing from east to west—a silent natural disaster.

The strongest winds are at night, lasting for almost half the night, and moving is quite difficult when sandstorms blow in the middle of the night.

Therefore, when tackling the Ouglia dunes, it is necessary to plan for rest periods or to proceed slowly.

"A sandstorm, huh?" Hashirama shook his head slightly. He had only been startled earlier, but now that he thought about it, it didn't seem to be that powerful. Hashirama casually cast a water sphere defense on everyone. "That should be fine."
