Offer blocks to the end times

Then Accelerator asked about the strongest person on the side, and the cat-eared girl thought for a moment before saying the name White Yaksha. The group then showed eager expressions and began to inquire about White Yaksha's location.

Both the cat-eared girl and Senju were complaining about how carefree the group was, and then Senju found out that White Demon, as a member of the super-sized business community 'Thousand Eyes,' was...

The shop, the one Senju went to last night, is actually nearby.

Senju rolled her eyes for a moment, then turned around and said, "Alright, you guys, you can go to that shop over there, but you're still a long way from challenging the White Demon."

"Oh, isn't this God?" Misaka Mikoto complained a little. After all, Senju had fooled her quite a bit at the beginning, and she only recently learned that Senju's true identity was actually a god from her world. She was actually a little embarrassed at the time.

Accelerator on the other side scoffed. Although he claimed to be the strongest, after that period of training, he knew how much of his "strongest" title was exaggerated. However, since he could keep getting stronger, he wanted to see how far he could go.

"Well, it's me. Your strength is still too weak. Let's strengthen it before talking about anything else," Senju nodded with a smile, glancing at Kuroko who was bowing and scraping. Kuroko's behavior wasn't for any other reason than that she had seen Senju's Misaka Army and had been coveting them for a long time, but Senju just wouldn't give them to her.

"Senju-sama, where are the sisters of the elder sister? I didn't see them last night," Kuroko asked cautiously. Senju nodded casually, "I took them back. There's nothing to do here."

"Sigh, but," Kuroko said, looking somewhat disappointed. She hesitated, glancing at Misaka Mikoto and Last Order beside her, wondering whether she should choose her Onee-sama and Misaka Lolita, or the many Misaka Umi. As she thought this, a silly grin appeared on her face.

Rolling her eyes, Senju was speechless. Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari did not participate in this operation. After all, their actual strength was very low, and they were important talent facilities in Academy City. Senju and Aleister left them in Academy City to guard the city.

"Alright, you guys can play here a little longer," Senju waved casually, then took out a card and handed it to the cat-eared girl beside him. "Thank you for your hospitality, this is a token of my appreciation."

"This is a favor card?!" The cat-eared girl was shocked after taking the card. "This is too valuable, I can't accept it!"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. This is just simple water generation and holy water making, perfect for making coffee," Thousand Hands waved his hand and walked away. After all, he had obtained quite a lot of information from the little spy, such as the Demon King, the final trial of humanity, the differences between the various levels, the spheres of influence in the vicinity, and so on. He had a very comprehensive collection of knowledge.

Seeing how hard the little spy worked, Thousand Hands had to reward her, so he made this card, which contained two spells: Water Generation and Holy Water Creation. Neither was very powerful, just enough to make coffee.

After waving goodbye to a few people, Senju walked slowly along the road toward the shop where White Demon was located. Along the way, some people tried to invite Senju to join their community, but Senju ignored them all.

As he strolled through the streets, Qian Shou looked at the various stalls around him and felt a bit emotional. Actually, this kind of zoning was not bad; ordinary people could survive here. However, there were quite a few orcs here.

Following the cherry blossom path along the roadside, Senju walked slowly, only to realize that the White Demon's shop looked really ordinary during the day. If Senju hadn't been paying close attention, she would have overlooked the slightly different little building in the middle.

Upon arriving at the shop, Senju saw that the kimono shop assistant on duty was the same one she had met the night before. Senju wanted to complain a little. It was really strange to suddenly find a Japanese-style building in a Western-style building. Speaking of which, White Demon was also wearing a kimono. She wondered what was going on. This must be an anime world!

Chapter 952 The Banquet

After Thousand Hands went inside, he encountered the same shop assistant he had met the night before. Thousand Hands then inquired about the sale of information. The shop assistant asked about Thousand Hands' identity, community name, and flag. Thousand Hands didn't have these details and, of course, didn't want to answer. The shop assistant politely informed Thousand Hands that they couldn't do this business. People without a community and flag were not allowed to enter the shop, and Perseus was also a community under Thousand Eyes.

However, Senju wanted to complain, since they had clearly met last night, but now they were pretending not to know each other. Fortunately, the White Demon inside heard the noise and came out, which resolved the awkward situation.

"Yo, Senju, you've arrived. Shall I throw a Gift Contest to welcome you?" White Demon said casually, fanning himself with a fan. Senju shook his head. "Forget it, I prefer some peace and quiet."

“Is that so?” White Demon said, holding his fan. “Let me entertain you as a welcome party.”

"Oh? That's perfect. I still have a lot of questions about this place and would like to ask you for help." Senju nodded. Although he had obtained a lot of information from the little spy, it goes without saying who knew more, the spy on the roadside or the big boss of the area. Senju followed Shiro Yaksha through the courtyard and into the house at the back.

The interior was decorated entirely in a Japanese style, and Senju looked around curiously. To be honest, he had never seen such a Japanese-style house when he was in Japan before. He never expected to see it in this other world.

However, the seating arrangement here was still kneeling, with a small table in front for placing food and drinks. Although Senju was a little uncomfortable with it, he endured it.

Then, a waiter started pouring drinks. Senju watched the atmosphere suddenly become more relaxed and peaceful, noticing that there were very few side dishes on the table.

"Welcome to this paradise of gods and demons, the Little Garden World. I hope you have a pleasant time here," White Yaksha raised his wine glass, and Senju followed suit. "Well, I am new to this place, please take care of me."

The surrounding atmosphere made Senju's voice sound ancient. After a dry cough, Senju returned to his normal way of speaking. He thought for a moment and then began to probe White Yaksha, "This place is quite magical. So many gods are gathered together. It's very similar to a world I visited before."

"Oh? Are there worlds similar to the Little Garden?" White Yaksha seemed intrigued. Senju nodded. "Well, they are similar, but also somewhat different universes. Unlike this universe, the gods there sealed their power and then took people in as their familiars."

“I’ve never heard of such a world before,” White Yaksha said curiously. Senju nodded. “Is that so? There are many famous gods over there, such as Loki, Hephaestus, Hestia, and so on.”

“Hmm, is it from the ancient Greek pantheon?” White Yaksha nodded. “But I’ve never heard of them going to the outside world. Is it their own unique world?”

“Is that so?” Senju shook his head slightly. It seemed that Hakuyasha didn’t know about this. But that was normal. He then changed the subject, “But the gods here haven’t sealed their strength, so it should be very convenient to hold a Gift Competition, right?”

“No, that won’t happen,” White Yaksha gently shook his head. “The Gift Games here aren’t held casually. There are many rules involved. Any god who holds the games arbitrarily is a demon king, and they will eventually be defeated.”

“Is that so?” Senju said somewhat skeptically. “What if a single-digit or double-digit number initiated the Gift Game? Wouldn’t everyone here become their prey?”

"That's impossible. Single-digit and two-digit numbers can't interfere with the lower realms at will." Through White Yaksha's explanation, Senju finally understood that the so-called single-digit and two-digit numbers were not rankings of strength but rather represented one's own abilities. Single-digit numbers represent the laws of the world; two-digit numbers represent the realm of total authority, which can only be reached by those who have gathered all power within themselves, the highest position in reality; three-digit numbers represent the realm of omnipotence, the realm where one has obtained all abilities.

However, the miniature garden contains all-powerful paradox games like 'creating a stone you can't lift,' which prevents two- and three-digit numbers from exercising their omnipotence alone. Therefore, they share some of their blessings with others, allowing them to wage proxy wars.

"I see," Senju nodded after listening. This is quite similar to the Familia game in Orario. However, Senju wasn't sure where she ranked. If she thought of it highly, Senju was a god who controlled a world, so she should be ranked in the single digits. But if she thought of it less highly, Senju didn't control all the abilities, so she would be ranked in the four digits. The difference was quite large.

The two chatted for a while longer, and finally, White Demon extended an invitation to Senju, asking him to join the large community 'Thousand Eyes' to which White Demon belonged. Senju shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, but I am also the leader of an alliance."

“It’s alright,” White Yaksha waved his hand, “The Thousand Eyes is an alliance made up of many communities, and there’s no problem with your alliance joining it.”

"Even so, let's forget about it," Senju shook his head and refused. He didn't need another boss. Shiro didn't try to persuade him further, but instead brought up Leticia's matter, "Luos went too far this time, he completely disgraced Perseus. However, outsiders can't interfere with the issue of ownership. Senju, you should pay attention to this in the future."

"Hmm," Senju replied casually, "I'll challenge Perseus later, and then I'll just take ownership."

"Then do you know a way to challenge them that they can't refuse?" White Yaksha covered his face with his fan, looking inscrutable. Senju nodded. "I have a Medusa Heroic Spirit among my subordinates. He should be able to challenge Perseus."

“Medusa? Could it be the Gorgon who was killed by Perseus? She can actually become a Heroic Spirit?” White Yaksha was slightly surprised, then began to ponder, “It would be possible to take revenge according to the legend, but according to the legend, Medusa cannot challenge Perseus. If Black Rabbit were here, she could directly inquire with the central authority of the Little Garden.”

"The central hub?" Senju was somewhat surprised. It felt like an intelligent management system. Shiroyasha nodded. "That's right. The central hub is where everything in the Little Garden is judged and the results are obtained. As a noble of the Little Garden, Black Rabbit's ears are connected to the central hub, so she can directly get the results of the questions."

Chapter 953 The Structure of the World

"Ears?" Senju asked curiously. "Why is it said that the ears are connected to the central hub of the Little Garden?"

“The black rabbit’s ears are a manifestation of her divinity,” White Yaksha explained there. “They are also a symbol of the garden’s nobles, which is why they can be connected to the central hub.”

“Is that so?” Senju pondered for a moment. He seemed to have heard something similar before, but it seemed to be an item that Ainz had mentioned. “I think I have a similar item here. I wonder if it can be used here.”

"Oh? A prop from the outside world? I must see it."

"White Demon also showed some interest, while Senju took out a pair of rabbit ears, but these were mechanical-patterned, sci-fi style rabbit ears. 'These might work, White Demon, why don't you try them out?'"

"No way, it looks stupid," White Demon resolutely refused, looking at the rabbit ears. She didn't want to wear them at all, and of course, Senju didn't want to either. So the two looked at the waiter pouring drinks and reached a consensus, "You try it!"

"..." The waiter watched the two of them expressionlessly and could only silently put on the bunny ears, but they didn't match her expression at all.

Senju then instructed her to use the functions on it, but although it emitted a fluctuation, the central control on this side did not react at all, so the two of them looked at Senju expressionlessly.

Senju coughed lightly. "Cough cough, don't worry, I have other things, this will definitely be fine!"

He took out a beautifully colored stone, a consumable world-class item called 'Thermal Stone' that could be used to make suggestions to the operator. With such a high level, it must be useful.

The waiter next to her wanted to return the rabbit ears to Senju, but Senju waved them off and gave them to her as an accessory. Shiroyasha nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Then, under the suspicious gazes of the two, Senju lightly tapped the stone, and the stone turned into ashes. Senju also connected with a will, which he guessed was the 'central hub'. He submitted the question and received an affirmative answer.

"It worked! I didn't expect this to work here," Senju nodded, then breathed a sigh of relief. "The Central Authority says the Gift Game can proceed this time."

"That's wonderful. I was going to tell you the necessary conditions for challenging Perseus," White Yaksha nodded, then asked curiously, "What was that stone just now?"

"Oh, that's a very precious item called 'Heat Stone,' which originally had the function of connecting with the world's will. I didn't expect it to be useful here as well." Senju had only heard Ainz casually mention it. It could connect with the operations team, but in this other world, Ainz didn't care about this ability, so Senju didn't think much of it at the time.

“I see,” White Yaksha nodded slightly, then asked, “Are there many of these stones? If possible, I would like to buy some as a backup.”

“No, I only have a few here,” Senju shook his head. “This is actually quite precious. It is made from the reaction of a large amount of the seven metals. Its main function is to serve as the driving source for large magic puppets. It can also be embedded in weapons and props to increase their power. Using it to connect with the world’s will is actually a waste.”

“Is that so? But I think contacting the central authority is more important. In exchange,” White Yaksha shook her head slightly, then her eyes lit up, “By the way, in exchange, I’ll appraise your blessing.”

"Oh? My gift can be appraised too?" Senju was slightly curious, then watched as Shiro clapped his hands, and a black card fell from the sky. Senju caught it. "Unknown World? How interesting, I can actually find it."

"Another unknown one," White Demon muttered to himself, while Senju looked at the card curiously for a while. "This one is not bad, I can put some things in it."

“Oh? You noticed it too?” White Demon nodded. “Just by looking at this, even without authentication, we can know Grace’s true nature.”

“Is that so?” Senju touched the card for a while, and then several white cards appeared in her hand. “So that’s how it is. This is quite an interesting method of authentication.”

"Huh, you also have Laplace's paper? Where did you get it?" White Yaksha was surprised at first, then gave Senju a deep look. "It seems I underestimated you."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment. I still have a lot to improve on," Senju waved his hand. "Speaking of which, I'm still a little confused as to why so many people's abilities have suddenly improved since they came to the Little Garden?"

"Well," White Demon thought for a moment, then spoke, "do you know what a miniature garden really is?"

“Isn’t it just a paradise for gods and demons?” Senju asked back. Shiroyasha shook his head. “While that’s not wrong, the Little Garden was originally a divinely created world built to guide the correct development of the outside world, namely the Third Observation Universe.”

"A third observation universe?" Senju was a little puzzled. He realized that his own thoughts seemed a bit too simplistic. But what was a third observation universe? Was it another inexplicable setting? Anyway, let's hear what she has to say.

“That’s right. The first is the original universe, the second is the multiverse, and the third is the observation universe. The first and second influence each other, but the Little Garden is different. It exists in a state that is not observable by the previous universes, yet it can connect with and observe the first two universes. This is what is called the third observation universe,” White Yaksha explained briefly. Senju nodded as if he understood. “So, what’s the connection between these?”

“So-called observation will have an impact, but all of this impact is contained within the Little Garden. People or things that have made great achievements and had a great impact in other worlds will generate corresponding spiritual attributes and powers in the Little Garden,” White Yaksha paused slightly before continuing.

"When crises threaten to destroy humanity in various worlds, they will materialize in the miniature garden, becoming humanity's final trial. If the trial is not passed, all of humanity will perish."

All things perish, and since gods and human history are interdependent, they have always been trying to prevent the arrival of humanity's 'final trial.'

"What a stupid setting, but you seem to be one of them too, Tiandong said!" Thousand Hands shook his head helplessly. He had seen several worlds destroyed by humans before, where other life forms were still alive and well. Moreover, if the humans in one world were destroyed, all the humans in other worlds would be destroyed as well. The gods here are really stupid. They are all gods of faith, yet they deliberately created a paradise that can destroy themselves.

Chapter 954 Flags and Stars

However, the term 'observation' must make Aleister very happy, since he had previously used the method of 'observation' to develop a system of superpowers, and if this is also about observation, he can also develop application methods.

“That’s right. I was the incarnation of the final human trial, ‘The Theory of Celestial Movement,’ which is why I guessed that you were the incarnation of the Wind of Decadence,” White Yaksha explained clearly. “The Wind of Decadence is a crisis that comes from the end of time, eroding everything, abandoning faith, forgetting fear, and severing the era. You have a trace of that in you.”

“Is that all?” Senju smiled wryly, then shook his head. “I do know a lot about the crisis of humanity’s destruction. I’ve seen worlds where people didn’t pass the trials, but I’m not one of those so-called decadent types.”

"Well, who knows for sure?" White Yaksha said, gently waving his fan. "The extinction of humanity in the outer world doesn't affect humanity in all worlds. However, the Little Garden is different; it has seen many trials, such as the Heavenly Ox, Yamata no Orochi, Dead Eye Balor, and Dystopia."

"Wait!" Thousand Hands raised his hand. There were many real apocalyptic crises, but these trials were clearly a joke. He could come up with dozens of them. "I remember these are all things from mythology, what do they have to do with humanity? And can these things really be humanity's final trial? Are you kidding me? Aren't there nuclear apocalypse, biological crisis, machine awakening, etc."

"Huh? What are those things you're talking about? I've never heard of them before, and it feels like you're looking down on me!" White Yaksha was a little unhappy. "You should know that these trials are only broken through by many heroes fighting together."

"That's not true," Senju shook his head slightly. It turned out that the trials here were passed by individual heroes. If the crisis that Senju mentioned had occurred, everyone here would have been doomed. It seemed that this was indeed an anime world. Senju felt relieved but also somewhat disappointed.

"So, the Little Garden connects to many worlds?" Senju smiled and changed the subject. "Then do you know what the structure of this universe is like?"

"Well, this brings us to the theory of three-dimensional intersecting parallel worlds and the historical transition period. Although the process may be different, there will always be people or events that have a great impact on history, which will eventually bring different time and space together," White Yaksha explained, while a diagram of light and shadow appeared on the side, with curves of different colors connected by several vertical lines.

“I see, timelines and convergence points, huh?” Senju nodded. Isn’t this the theory from Steins;Gate? “In that case, wouldn’t those people during the historical transitions be the strongest? Also, what would happen if someone altered these events?”

“You’re right,” White Yaksha said, patting his fan. “So those gods have also realized that their power comes from history and faith, and of course they won’t tolerate interference from others. If anyone tries to disrupt it, they will step in to protect human history.”

“Is that so?” Senju hesitated for a moment, recalling the world from before. “In that case, is the history of mankind already set? In the end, it’s all destined to end.”

“Hmm? That’s impossible,” White Yaksha shook his head and denied Senju’s statement. “The Little Garden was built to continue human history. Its primary task is to defeat the ‘Final Trial of Humanity’ and maintain the existence of human history. You must know that almost all the gods are dependent on human history. If humanity is destroyed, the gods will also be severely damaged.”

"Is that so? Heh," Senju looked at the several 'Final Trials of Humanity' within his body, somewhat speechless. It seemed that the gods here weren't on the same page as him.

However, the ability to observe scenes from other dimensions confirmed one thing for him: the history the White Yaksha spoke of was merely the history of humankind on Earth, and the surrounding world seemed to be a parallel world of Earth, with no alien civilizations existing at all, simply a backdrop for myths and legends.

“I think I understand now. Thank you for your explanation.” Senju nodded. He understood the difference between his world and the Little Garden Universe. It was like the relationship between a small fish and a whale. Although they looked similar, the actual difference was countless. A stone slowly flew towards White Yaksha. “This is the ‘Heat Stone’. Consider it my thank-you gift.”

"Well, it's alright. You're a newcomer after all, so it's only right for a senior to explain things," White Yaksha said with a smile as she put away the thermostone. "By the way, that idiot Luos's behavior has brought shame to Thousand Eyes. I'll report it and have Thousand Eyes remove his protection of Perseus."

"Oh, thank you so much," Senju casually cupped his hands in thanks, and then the White Demon...

That section described Perseus's power and location; Perseus was located in...

The outer sect, which once fought against many gods, demons, and asuras, has now fallen into decline and can only ask for the protection of the Thousand Eyes. But now, they dare to humiliate the banner of the Thousand Eyes' 'Twin Goddesses'. White Yaksha also wants to find someone to teach them a lesson.

After delivering the intelligence, White Yaksha encouraged Senju, "If you want to establish a community, occupying his base is the fastest way. Strive to raise your flag in the starry sky as soon as possible!"
