Chapter 932 The Fruit of Wisdom

Rimuru, who was standing nearby, also sensed that the world had returned to normal and the Star Grail had regained control of the world. He breathed a sigh of relief, opened his mouth, and countless points of light shot out to various parts of the world, which then transformed into various creatures. However, his own aura did not diminish.

"They really have a good appetite," Senju muttered speechlessly. After consuming so many creatures, the slime must taste even better, right? Maybe I should try some.

Seemingly sensing Senju's appetite, Rimuru shuddered and ran over to greet Senju, "Luckily, Boss arrived in time, otherwise we would have had to run away."

"Well, I didn't expect such a big mess to happen here either," Senju said, making up a story with a straight face while shirking responsibility. "This is likely due to some kind of change in the void that has affected this world. I will investigate it later."

Senju steered the cause to a place no one else could touch, and then reassured everyone that this situation would not happen again. The group was relieved but helpless. However, Momonga had another matter to attend to: developing a passage to another world or a magical spaceship that could fly to space to avoid encountering such a deadly situation again.

After everyone dispersed, Senju began to consider the issue of the Gate of Dimensional Ascension. It seemed that it couldn't be used here, and the result would likely be the same in other worlds as well; using it would always come at the cost of destroying something.

However, by improving his intelligence and calculation speed, he finally found a way. Of course, this way had actually been there all along, but Thousand Hands hadn't noticed it at all. That was to combine the Gate of Dimensional Ascension with the perpetual motion machine to create a perfect Gate of Dimensional Ascension.

However, after three days of failed experiments, Senju suddenly realized that he could directly turn illusory objects into real ones, and could also directly enhance people's strength and change their race. There was no need to research such a problematic machine. Using a machine to achieve the process of turning the illusory into the real was simply redundant. He had been misled by the process of Ainz and the others' power enhancement!

Once he fully realized what was happening, Senju sealed away the laboratory world, treating it as a super weapon, and then returned to his own space to rest.

During the few days of rest inside the castle, Qian Shou thought of Pan Libao and the others, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him. He seemed to have a way to completely solve their worldview problem, to completely transform their consciousness from weapons to humans, and to give them normal emotions, instead of the indifferent mentality of not caring about injury or death.

Senju thought for a moment, then gathered William, Nigolan, and the five great fairies to discuss the matter. Nigolan asked curiously, "Senju, it's been a long time. What's the matter this time?"

“Yes, it’s about the children. I think I’ve found a solution to their mental health issues,” Thousand Hands said, then took out a plate of golden apples. Nigolan, standing nearby, excitedly exclaimed, “Is there a way to solve this?!”

“Yes, this is it,” Senju nodded, then said hesitantly, “However, I’m not sure if it will be good for the children after they are cured. Someone took it before and gained a complete and independent personality. This should be able to make up for the children’s mental deficiencies, but…”

As Senju spoke, she transmitted the changes in the Misaka Sisters after they ate the fruit to everyone. They frowned, and Athena, standing to the side, shook her head in fright, "This apple is too dangerous! I don't want to change my personality!"

"But if that's the case, isn't this apple the 'fruit of sin' from the Garden of Eden? It can unlock human wisdom, which is really intriguing," Landoruk said, looking at the golden apple with excitement and curiosity. It seems she has read quite a few books in the library.

"The Sinful Fruit?! What's that? It's not poisonous, is it?!" Noft stood there stiffly, because after seeing the apple, she picked one up and took a bite, only to hear this news. Now everyone was looking at her strangely.

"Well, that's just a legend mentioned in a religious book. In the past, a god created Paradise, where the ancestors of mankind lived. They gained wisdom after eating apples, and were then expelled from Paradise by that god," Landoruko answered casually, while Noft looked at Senju pitifully.

"That's not my legend," Senju rolled her eyes speechlessly. This is what distinguishes academic geniuses from academic underachievers.

Or is it that Noft has been living too comfortably lately and his IQ has dropped? How could the Senju possibly let their fighting force go?

Noft breathed a sigh of relief and continued eating his apple. "Phew, this is great. I'm very satisfied with life here. I'm going to run some dungeons tonight."

“Anger,” Senju felt a '#' appear above his head, and Nigolan tapped the table beside him. “Alright, we were talking about the fruit’s effects on the children! Noft, do you feel any changes in yourself?”

"Hmm~" Noft pressed his head, deep in thought, before opening his eyes after a while. "There's nothing there."

“Strange,” Senju shook his head helplessly. Nigolan, on the other hand, asked Noft a few questions carefully, and then nodded in understanding. “Lord Senju, I think I understand the function of this apple. It can complete an incomplete personality, but it doesn’t have much effect on people with complete personalities.”

"I see," Senju nodded. No wonder the Misaka Sisters had changed so much. But this thing was basically a ripening agent. His expression turned a little strange.

Nigolan hesitated for a moment, then slowly pushed the apple back to Senju. "Thank you for your kindness, Lady Senju, but children need time to grow up. They're fine as they are now. They should understand things when they grow up."

“Alright then,” Thousand Hands nodded and put the golden apple away. “You can come to me anytime if you need it.”

“Thank you, Lord Thousand Hands,” Nigolan nodded, then looked at Noft, who was still munching on an apple beside her, “Noft, come with me for a moment, let me examine the changes in your body.”

"Yes~" Noft replied casually, then followed Nigolan away, while William stood there speechless, thinking, "What am I doing here?!"

“Alright, let’s talk about going to the Little Garden,” Senju continued, leaving the others speechless. They thought, “Why would we go to such a dangerous place when we’re living such a good life?”

Chapter 933 Preparations Before Beginning

“I’ve already asked people over there to publicize your deeds. With the biography Liliana is writing, we should be able to get enough support from there,” Thousand Hands said. The people next to him were even more speechless. They had been seeing Liliana frequently lately and had been asked all sorts of questions. So, she was writing a biography.

"Do we really have to go there?" William asked somewhat helplessly. Senju nodded and said, "Yes, to guard against potential enemies from another world, you need to improve your strength there to avoid any problems. Besides, you can come back immediately after you've improved your strength there."

“Is that so?” William paused for a moment. “Let me think about it.”

"It feels like it's been so long since we've had a mission," Chtholly remarked with some emotion. "Now we're finally going back to the battlefield? It feels so dangerous."

"No, no, no," Senju waved his hand, "It's just storing up strength. I'll deal with people who actually threaten the world directly. You just need to handle some ordinary cases."

"..." The people next to him didn't know how to react. Senju continued, "Alright, you guys think about it first. Before you go there, I have something to give you. You guys train hard these next few days."

“Yes~” Athena stood up from the side, “We practice every day, and we often practice fighting monsters.”

"Is that so?" Senju didn't bother to comment on their virtual reality game, and then told them to go back. However, Chtholly was still there, hesitant and unwilling to leave. William noticed this as well. "Chtholly?"

"Um, Lord Senju, you can transform other life forms into humans, right?" Chtholly hesitated for a moment, then looked at Senju earnestly, "Then could you transform me into a real human?"

"Hmm? Why do you think that?" Senju looked at her curiously, while William beside her also looked shocked. Chtholly fiddled with her fingers, then secretly glanced at William, "Um, this..."

Seeing her hesitant and stammering, Senju rolled her eyes. "What a precocious child. Let's talk about this when you're an adult, even though your age won't increase."

"But I'm already seventeen!" Chtholly exclaimed anxiously. "It's time for me to get married!"

"..." Senju looked speechlessly at Chtholly, whose face was flushed with embarrassment. Seventeen years old is still considered a minor. Although Yukari Yakumo is also seventeen, it seems that people in this town get married very early. This made Chtholly, who often goes shopping, a little anxious, especially after she discovered two rivals.

“You and William should discuss this matter clearly. As for your marriage, there’s no rush. Wait two years before talking about it,” Qian Shou waved his hand, looking at William who seemed a little surprised. “Besides, it’s too early for you two to have children now.”

"That's not what I meant..." Chtholly shouted, but Senju had already smiled, waved, and run away. Who's going to eat your dog food?!

After leaving, Senju went to find Ishii to comfort her wounded heart, but after searching around, she finally found her...

Currently, I am learning various cutting-edge technology theories in Academy City.

Senju asked curiously and learned that she had already traveled to several worlds to study. She originally thought that it would be simple to build a time machine, but the time machine built based on the theory found in Steins;Gate was useless in other worlds. The assistants from Academy City also denied the principle of this time machine. They reminded Ishii that time travel was not such a simple matter, but involved many aspects, and she needed to study various advanced physics knowledge.

Although Ishii had already learned the Unified Theory, there were still many advanced physics concepts he didn't quite understand. So he looked around a few worlds before coming to Academy City, the most technologically advanced city in the world, to study.

Seeing how happily she was learning, Senju didn't say much, but reminded her that different worlds have different laws and physical constants, which needed to be taken into account in the design of the machine. At the same time, he handed over a force that Senju had previously subdued to her.

This is the same force that created Febri. Although they are weak, their learning ability and scientific literacy are extremely high, making them a perfect fit to join Ishii's research team.

After spending a few days with Ishii, Senju left. He wasn't afraid of the people here experimenting with the time machine, since time here was actually controlled by Senju, and without his permission, time travel was impossible.

After seeing Ishii, Senju went to find Chito and Yuri, but they left her speechless. Although she didn't know why, the two of them went to study in the world of mahjong and then came into contact with the "interesting" game of mahjong, eventually becoming addicted.

These two are known here as the 'Twins of Gods,' and they are practically invincible. However, after watching one match, Senju was speechless and realized that these two guys were cheating just like him!

After making a slight complaint, Senju brought up the topic of the Little Garden, which piqued the interest of the two of them. They then continued playing mahjong, leaving Senju shaking her head helplessly.

After spending a few days with them, Senju saw many mahjong masters. As the world's origin improved, their superpowered mahjong became increasingly outrageous, with lightning flashing across the sky and the earth shaking from time to time. Senju felt that these mahjong girls should also go to the Little Garden.

After that, Senju contacted Yakumo Yukari to see how her work preparations were going. She told Senju that the community 'Gensokyo' had swallowed up several communities, set up cinemas and bookstores in several districts, and its staff had been distributed to various locations for development.

However, because of her development, White Demon has paid more attention to her. Recently, he was discussing with her the matter of getting Gensokyo to join the Thousand Eyes Alliance. Of course, Yukari Yakumo would not agree to this. She also has considerable ambition and background, and she is very wary of joining another power.

White Demon, having failed to persuade him, didn't react much. She simply warned Yakumo Yukari that the strength of the community 'Gensokyo' had completely surpassed that of the seventh-layer communities. As long as she passed her test, she could become a sixth-layer community.

However, Yakumo Yukari did not take the other party's words to heart and continued to test the waters by taking action against the surrounding communities, continuing to annex land and people. Shiroyasha was very unhappy with Yakumo Yukari's willful behavior.

Chapter 934 Continue Preparations

When Yakumo Yukari attempted to annex a community with no name or banner and a large amount of land, Shiroyasha finally intervened, and the matter was eventually dropped.

However, White Demon also warned Yakumo Yukari that as the ruler of the hierarchy, she had an obligation to maintain the healthy development of each community. She would not allow anyone to arbitrarily devour the communities, otherwise it would be a provocation against the banner of the two goddesses (the banner of the thousand eyes). Yakumo Yukari had no choice but to stop and focus her main energy on building the cinema and bookstore.

Senju was also troubled by the White Demon. He was thinking about how to kill her, but after looking at the information, he felt it was very troublesome. He knew a lot about her, but he still had no idea how strong she was.

However, as a manifestation of the 'heliocentric theory', well, it seems that the heroic spirit Copernicus could be used to deal with her. But the White Demon also has the power of the sun, and Copernicus' heliocentric theory would strengthen her power. However, Senju happens to have a 'Houyi Bow' in his hand. Although it is a replica, it seems that it is worth a try.

Senju then enhanced the bow using various methods, and then incorporated the concept of 'shooting the sun' from various worlds into it. Of course, shooting at the real sun would have no effect, but for people with sun attributes, it would be a powerful weapon.

With a bow, arrows are naturally needed. Although arrows can be formed using magic, solidified arrows are still more powerful. However, arrows are difficult to forge. After thinking for a while, Senju borrowed Archer's method and transformed his Noble Phantasm into arrows.

So Senju created nine Ea swords and transformed them into golden arrows. Once shot, the arrows would unleash their full power according to Senju's will. Senju tried it and found it to be incredibly awe-inspiring.

As the arrow shattered, the power it contained was immediately unleashed. With a burst of intense light, a world the size of a planet was instantly born in the chaotic sea. Although this world was completely empty, it was still a world nonetheless.

And then came the main event: this world only lasted for a moment before collapsing.

It became a tiny black hole, shattering the surrounding chaotic sea before it returned to calm after a while.

Experiencing this world-shaking scene, Senju felt it was best to keep this strategic weapon safe. He assured that he would never be the first to use it unless challenged.

However, this thing was too powerful, so Senju went to find other items. In the end, she found a few suitable tools. One of them was Karna's annihilating spear from Hindu mythology, 'Sun Wheel, Obey Death'. Just by hearing the name, you can tell that it is used to restrain the sun. Although Senju was puzzled by the strong solar power contained in this treasure, its god-slaying attribute reassured her.

Another one is a Mythical Mystic Code found at the Mage's Guild, named 'Prometheus'. It can steal the power of the sun to unleash powerful magic. However, after Senju modified it, this Mythical Mystic Code became a card called 'Fire Thief', which can steal a portion of the sun's power from enemies.

With these two trump cards, Senju felt a little more at ease. He could use them to scare his opponent. However, it all came down to strength. Senju wasn't sure how strong his opponent was or whether he would be frightened by his two toys.

Furthermore, after carefully analyzing Yakumo Yukari's information, Senju noticed that Shiroyasha was a member of the Thousand Eyes organization, which meant that she had someone above her, the leader of the Thousand Eyes, and those two goddesses were the more powerful figures.

However, since Senju had made up his mind, he was prepared to go. After all, once he received the blessing and his power increased, he would run away quickly if he found anything wrong, rather than staying there and getting entangled with people.

Having made up her mind, Senju decided to leave the blame—cough cough, no, the opportunity in the Little Garden—to Yakumo Yukari, so that she could develop her power there and contribute to her hometown.

However, according to Yukari Yakumo, the opportunity to become a hierarchy ruler will not arrive for more than a month, so Senju doesn't need to be in a hurry. Moreover, she can still control the situation, and with Reisen Tsukito's identity, there is room for maneuver in many things.

After thinking about it, Qian Shou also felt that what she said made a lot of sense. After all, the other party was also an ancient demon with thousands of years of history. He should first take a look at Liliana's writing work.

In fact, this job wasn't just done by Liliana alone; there were many assistants. A group of people collected the deeds and achievements of the Thousand Hand Familia, compiled them into a book, and then transported it to Yukari Yakumo.

After obtaining some, he began to read them. The situation described was mostly true, with only occasional exaggerations. Senju was quite satisfied and gave Liliana some of the voice-controlling spirit crystals to help her improve her singing ability.

At the same time, Thousand Hands activated his propagation ability, spreading these contents towards the Chaos Sea. Of course, after doing all this, Thousand Hands began the process of deification, since he had to be a 'great god' there.

After all, the Senju 'pantheon' only has four members, which is a bit small. Moreover, Chito, Yuri, and Ishii don't care about anything, and even the Senju are just taking it easy and haven't developed their own pantheon at all.

Senju calculated his own clan and then thought about what divine positions to arrange for them. He had quite a few divine titles, although they were created through the Gate of Dimensional Ascension, the effect was still quite good, and they looked quite respectable on the surface.

Furthermore, the Senju clan used the World Tree to process them, transforming these divine essences into the fruits of the World Tree. In the future, when the Senju pantheon spreads out, everyone will believe that it is a pantheon that developed by relying on the World Tree.

However, this is just a facade put on by Senju. In reality, even if he steals these divine attributes, it won't have much impact on Senju's clan. They just won't be able to use the related divine powers. Anyone who fuses with this product will be directly controlled by Senju. After all, Senju didn't want everyone to fuse with this inferior product; he just wanted them to use it to change their aura and appearance.

If you peel back the layers, the Thousand Hands' pantheon is just a small pantheon of four people. But in essence, the Thousand Hands and the others are actually connected through a system, and their foundation is still the laws of the block world.

The number of people in this blocky pantheon is quite large. The main body is the Senju Familia, followed by the Misaka Sisters and the 300 Heroic Spirits. Below that are the Five Departments and the Underworld, and then the gods of various small worlds. However, when you count them all, the Senju feel that their pantheon is still quite powerful, even though many parts are just filler.

Chapter 935 The Man Preparing to Flee

However, this did not affect his creation of the so-called 'Simulated Star Chart'. Thousand Hands took out the Mountain and River Map, Pangu Banner, Taiji Diagram, Hetu Luoshu and other scroll-like equipment and integrated them into his own inherent barrier. Then he threw in a bunch of world-shaking artifacts such as the Heaven-Opening Axe and the Ea Sword, and then threw in several tons of nano perpetual motion machines.

Finally, he transformed this Realm of Nature into a golden blueprint, on which various artifacts flashed continuously, resembling a scroll explaining various magical artifacts. However, in reality, the dominant rule within it was the rule of Minecraft, and all the magical artifacts within served these laws. It contained its own world governed by Minecraft rules and could also replace the rules of a world with those of Minecraft in a single strike.

However, Senju hasn't tried it, so he's not sure how powerful it is. He just deduced its function based on the blueprint. But this blueprint certainly can't be used indefinitely.

Senju named this blueprint 'Square Blueprint', although its power is now very...

It's grown bigger, but Senju still hopes that it can be reused after being nurtured in the miniature garden, capable of both sending and receiving.

Of course, Senju wasn't sure if this square diagram could become a simulated star-creating diagram, but it was still good to use it as a trump card. After settling these matters, Senju distributed divine sparks to his clan and discussed going to the Little Garden.

While the Senju group was plotting to plunder the Little Garden, on the other side, the Supreme Beings in the Great Tomb of Nazarick were also holding a secret meeting. They were terrified by the events of the past few days and decided to find a way out.

Moreover, they now had a direction for their escape route. From Senju's words to Mochizuki Touya's background and the disappearance of Sakamaki Izayoi and the others, the group confirmed that many other worlds existed. Their only option was to escape to other worlds, though they would also like to return to their original world.

For days, they had been searching for clues, from the library where Izayoi Sakae disappeared to the village of Carne where Touya Mochizuki disappeared, where Nazarick NPCs were detecting spatial fluctuations. A group of them even used the Prayer spell to look for clues about the other world. Then, they dug up a golden letter outside Carne Village.
