Offer blocks to the end times

“Is that so?” Senju nodded. It seemed that Yakumo Yukari’s plan had not been exposed. However, Shiroyasha continued, “I have received information that a Demon Lord will attack during this event. You should know this, Senju.”

"Demon King?" Senju raised an eyebrow. Had she sensed something? White Yaksha, on the other hand, said nonchalantly, "Well, it was just something our Thousand Eyes executive predicted. But with me here, it's no problem at all. But since we've run into you, Senju, you should also hear about this."

“Is that so? Okay,” Senju nodded, then followed Shiro Yaksha into a large hall. Besides the Nameless Gang, the red-haired youth and the red-haired Amazonian loli from earlier were also inside, and they seemed to be the owners of the place.

"Lord White Yaksha, who is this?" the girl asked. White Yaksha nodded and introduced, "Ah, this is a friend of mine, Thousand Hands, the leader of the fourth-level alliance 'Thousand Hands'. He is a more powerful expert than me, and he is also a dragon. So you can say that we have some connection."

Ignoring White Yaksha's words, Senju forgot that he also had the identity of a dragon. When the two on the other side heard that Senju's alliance was the fourth-ranked dragon, and a dragon even stronger than White Yaksha, they immediately became respectful.

After greeting Senju and Izayoi Sakamaki, he asked about the White Demon, "Who are these two?"

White Demon pointed at the girl and explained to Senju, "This is Sandra Teldorek, the current leader of the 'Fire Dragons.' This Fire Dragon Festival is prepared for her. She will inherit the position of the ruler of the North District. This is her brother, Mandela Teldorek."

"Sandra," Senju thought to himself, somewhat disapprovingly. Was it really true that the descendants of a Taoist deity were foreigners? And he'd clearly heard she was a descendant of a dragon. Was she made into a female character because she was a main character? That was utterly shameless.

Although she appears human, the pair of small horns on her head prove that she is a dragon, and her bloodline level is much higher than that of the other dragons.

Although Senju was inwardly complaining, he maintained a calm and collected expression on the surface. "Hello, congratulations on inheriting the position of the ruler of the Northern District."

"Thank you for your praise, Lord Senju," Sandra returned the greeting. Senju nodded and waved his hand, taking out a shimmering dragon scale. "This is for you as a small gift."

Chapter 974 The Discovery of the Brothers Grimm

This dragon scale was actually made from half of the remains of the dragon kings who fought in the world wars in the past. Senju sorted out the remains and refined a total of ten dragon scales. Each dragon scale has an primal magic and great power. The dragon scale that Senju gave away this time is a fire attribute dragon scale.

Then the dragon scale flew to Sandra's forehead and turned into a small dragon scale. In Senju's perception, her bloodline concentration increased significantly. White Yaksha shook his head helplessly, "Senju, you are really generous to your own kind."

"Haha," Thousand Hands just smiled without explaining. Who could blame him for being so cute, plus his connection to Taoism, which made him even more likable?

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Senju," Sandra said, touching the dragon scale on her forehead with delight. Mandela next to her also looked excited, but Senju ignored him.

“Alright, let’s get down to business,” White Yaksha clapped his hands, drawing everyone’s attention. “We, the ‘Thousand Eyes,’ have received a prophecy that a demon king will attack during the Fire Dragon’s Birth Festival.”

Those around were very excited, and Mandela shouted, "Lord White Demon, is this true?! Where did you get this information?"

"Demon King? This is going to be much more interesting," Izayoi Sakamaki said, eager to try. Senju, however, was completely unconcerned. Since Yukari Yakumo dared to make a move, it meant she had prepared everything. Even if she was exposed, Senju didn't need to worry at all.

"This was predicted by one of our 'Thousand Eyes' officers," White Yaksha said vaguely. Mandela, standing next to him, actually questioned it, which surprised the Thousand Hands. Didn't the other party understand their own identity? Weren't they begging White Yaksha to come and be their backer?

Sandra, on the other hand, understood much better. She stopped her excited brother, and Izayoi Sakamaki also joined the discussion. In the end, everyone listened to the suggestion of Shiroyasha: 'Nameless' and 'Fire Dragon' would investigate the matter of the Demon King. Shiroyasha said that he would eventually destroy the Demon King.

However, Izayoi Sakamaki was slightly dissatisfied and made a few remarks, saying that if she accidentally defeated the Demon King, she should not blame him.

The event then ended, and White Yaksha invited Senju to watch the Gift Battle Tournament. Senju, bored, went to watch and discovered that the so-called duel of the Creators was indeed a duel. (694936135)

Those communities manipulated their creations to fight on the field, but after watching for a while, Senju's eyes twitched. What the hell were those people on the stage?! Alice controlling the puppets, Marisa controlling the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Reimu controlling the Yin-Yang Jewel, Sakuya controlling the throwing knives, and Sanae controlling the giant mecha—with these people on the field, how could anyone else possibly have a chance?!

Under Senju's helpless gaze, these people randomly threw out light cannons and light orbs, and finally swept all the matches. Kasukabe Yo, who came on the field, encountered Reimu and was directly beaten by Reimu to the point of questioning his life. Marisa finally encountered Pumpkin Jack and a girl, both of whom were firepower-type magicians.

However, the Eight Trigrams Furnace that Senju created for her was extremely powerful. Coupled with Marisa's fighting style of dodging bullets and randomly throwing light cannons, her opponent was quickly knocked away. Then Marisa was knocked away by Sakuya, and Sakuya was knocked away by Alice. Reimu easily defeated all her opponents and reunited with Alice in the final duel.

Seeing that the last two were actually from the same community, the 'Fire Dragon' team began to suspect that they might be troublemakers. Thousand Hands gave a slight nod, "They are both from the 'Thousand Hands' Alliance, so it's alright for them to compete in the final match, right?"

“Of course, no problem,” Sandra said, waving her hand to stop Mandela from speaking. “We look forward to their performance tomorrow.”

"I didn't expect your community to be so strong," White Yaksha said, waving his fan and looking at the people on the field with an inscrutable expression. Senju casually shook his head. "Well, you should know that, after all, they've been here for a few days now."

“This is different. I’ve never seen them before. It seems Gensokyo is even stronger than I thought.” White Demon shook her head and said no more. After the match today, Senju followed White Demon to live in the 'Fire Dragon's' palace. Then Senju heard that Kuon Asuka was attacked by rats. Of course, she was not injured. Instead, she chased the rats back with her sword. However, she got all dirty and is now recuperating in the hot spring bath.

Thousand Hands didn't concern himself with it. He received a message from the Brothers Grimm saying they had found something valuable related to the 'Ratcatcher,' so he went out to take a look.

“This is it,” the two brothers said to Thousand Hands, pointing to the stained glass windows in the hall. “The clues we found here related to the ‘Ratcatcher’ are the paintings on these windows.”

“Well,” Senju looked at the words above. It was a clown playing the flute, manipulating a group of rats.

“Yes, this is a story about rat catchers, but there are many errors,” the two brothers nodded. “We found a total of 130 pieces of stained glass nearby, representing the 130 children taken away from Hameln. This should be a clue left by them on purpose.”

"I see, you've done a good job," Senju nodded, but he didn't bother with the glass, since it didn't seem to be of much use. "These are yours to handle. Keep up the good work."

“Yes, sir,” the two brothers nodded, “we are going to correct the errors above to prevent our fairy tale from being misinterpreted.”

“Is that so?” Senju nodded, casually granting the two the ability to manipulate glass and colors. “Then I’ll leave this matter to you.”

Watching the two obsessive-compulsive individuals modifying the painting on the glass, Senju shook her head and prepared to leave. However, Yakumo Yukari suddenly appeared beside her. "Senju-sama, we might need to borrow these panes of glass and the Brothers Grimm tomorrow. Is that alright?"

“Sure,” Senju nodded, instructed the Grimm brothers to cooperate with Yakumo Yukari’s actions, and then returned to the Fire Dragon’s Palace. Only then did she realize that Izayoi Sakamaki and the others were missing. After asking the guards, she learned that they had gone to take a bath, and the guards were even boasting about how good the hot springs here were for their therapeutic effects. Senju thought for a moment and then went to take a bath as well.

However, when they arrived at the entrance of the hot spring, they found that Izayoi Sakamaki and the others had already finished bathing. The group of people were wearing yukatas, and Shiroyasha even invited Senju to discuss some matters, but Senju declined, saying that she wanted to soak in the hot spring.

Chapter 975 The Grand Final

After entering the hot spring, Senju found himself alone, so he soaked slowly, taking the opportunity to analyze the water quality and temperature, as well as the composition of the nearby hot springs. In the hot spring mountain in the space, some hot springs also began to slowly change, eventually becoming exactly the same as the hot springs here.

However, when he was scanning, he was surprised to find that there were still people in the women's bath next to him. Senju was slightly surprised because he had clearly seen Shiroyasha and the others finish washing and leave. But after looking closely, he realized that it was Leticia, and there was a fox-eared girl named Lily scrubbing her back.

This surprised Thousand Hands even more; vampires didn't...

Is it afraid of running water?! Could this be a special species? Thousand Hands carefully observed it.

After spying and observing for a while, and seeing that the two had left, Senju began to ponder the question. After thinking about it for a long time, Senju finally realized that this was probably a different type of vampire, or perhaps it was related to the Gift Game here, the result of which had changed Leticia's habits.

After soaking for a while longer, Senju left the hot spring. Izayoi Sakamaki and the others were still making a ruckus nearby, but Senju went straight back to rest. He was planning to watch the duel tomorrow.

The next day, Senju even went to the exhibition hall to look at the stained glass around her. However, the portraits on them didn't seem to have changed. But after looking closely, Senju discovered that there was a layer of 'real and false' attached to them. It seems that Yukari Yakumo has some kind of plan.

The final match was the official one. In addition to the large audience, Black Rabbit was also hosting the event. It was then that Qian Shou got to appreciate Black Rabbit's charm. Watching her host the competition with great enthusiasm on stage, Qian Shou nodded with satisfaction. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Black Rabbit's skill points were clearly focused on being a referee.

Moreover, the Black Rabbit is very popular. For example, cheers came from the audience seats, "Wow~ the Moon Rabbit is really here!"

"Black Rabbit, I came all this way just to see you! Ahhhhh!"

"I absolutely have to see what's under your skirt today!!"

"Aaaaaah, I saw it! Damn it, I was so close!!"

"What?! You can see it? Let me see too, it really is! Damn it, it was so close!"

Moreover, there were people on the stage holding up big signs that said 'love Black Rabbit,' which left Senju speechless. He was a little scared when he saw the Black Rabbit on the stage, and some people in the audience were even more scared. Reisen there was trembling with fear, afraid that others would find out that she was also a Moon Rabbit.

Meanwhile, Kaguya was contemplating whether she should get another rabbit. Senju, hearing the shouts, also looked under Kuro's skirt, only to find that what she could see was both visible and invisible. It was clearly a short skirt; could this be the legendary absolute territory?!

White Demon seemed to have misunderstood Senju, tilting his head and saying, "How about it, Senju? I chose Black Rabbit's outfit. Isn't it great?"

"What's going on?!" But at this moment, Izayoi Sakamaki got angry. "White Demon, why is it that under Black Rabbit's miniskirt, it seems like you can see something but you can't really see anything? What does this mean?! This interest in 'seemingly hidden' is so outdated. We discussed this yesterday, and this is the level you've reached?"

"Discussing this kind of topic, are you out of your mind?" Kudo Asuka remarked from the side, while Kasukabe Yo stood there blankly petting the cat, watching the two people who came on stage.

After pausing Izayoi Sakamaki's conversation, White Demon put down his binoculars, looking displeased. "I thought you were a man who understood art, but is this all you've got? What's the difference between you and a random passerby?!"

"You really dare to say that. Do you think avoiding exposure under your skirt is an art?" Izayoi Sakamaki put down her binoculars and retorted. Senju, who was listening from the side, was speechless. However, in order to end this stupid conversation, he also spoke up, "This space that seems to be visible yet is absolutely invisible is the absolute domain of a girl, an existence that transcends art."

"Clap clap clap," the White Demon clapped her hands, looking at Senju with surprise. "Senju, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be one of our comrades. Absolute Territory, that word is the truth of the world! It perfectly summarizes my art..."

"Uh," Senju was getting a headache listening to Shiroyasha's incessant chatter about gentlemanly topics. He was quite innocent, so he pretended to pay attention to the scene and ignored the conversation between the two gentlemen next to him.

On stage, Black Rabbit was introducing two people from 'Gensokyo', while offstage, Marisa was shouting, "Alice, go for it! Beat Reimu!"

Alice on stage didn't reply, but her face turned slightly red. However, Reimu on the side was much less polite, saying, "Marisa, you just wait, I'll definitely beat you up when we get back!"

"Ahem," Black Rabbit on the stage coughed lightly, then began to introduce, "This is from the East District..."

"As you can see, Reimu Hakurei and Alice Margot Lloyd from the outer sect community 'Gensokyo' are both very powerful shrine maidens. Alice is also a very skilled puppeteer. I believe their community will soon reach the sixth floor..."

Black Rabbit kept talking, while Reimu lazily said, "Hey, Rabbit, can we start now? Hurry up and get this done, I need to go home and rest."

"It'll be over soon," Black Rabbit said softly, sweat beading on her forehead. Then she gestured towards the viewing platform, "Now, please let Lord White Demon explain the details of the next battle stage. Please keep quiet!"

As soon as Black Rabbit spoke, the surroundings immediately quieted down. At this moment, Reimu's yawns and Marisa's chatter became immediately noticeable. Senju helplessly flicked their foreheads with her magic to remind them to be serious, and the two of them finally stopped talking.

Seeing the silence fall over the room, White Yaksha calmly stood up and nodded to everyone present.

"Thank you all for your cooperation. As you can see, I am small in stature and not good at speaking loudly. Now, regarding the game stage, please look at the invitations in your hands. Do you have a number on them?"

Thousand Hands took out an invitation and looked at it. The number was quite ordinary, number 1000. White Yaksha continued, "Is there anyone whose number is the same as 3345, the number of the 'Thousand Eyes' from which we originated? If so, please hold up the invitation and shout out the name of the community."

Chapter 976 An Unexciting Final Battle

“Here, the community ‘Underground Forest’ holds invitation number 3345,” a boy in the audience held up the invitation, and cheers immediately erupted around him. White Yaksha then teleported over. “Congratulations to this child. The prize will be sent to you later. Now, may I take a look at your flag?”

The boy nodded and handed over a wooden bracelet engraved with their symbol: a city surrounded by giant tree roots. After looking at it for a while, White Yaksha returned it to him and then teleported back to the viewing platform. "The stage for the finals is ready. Now, let's borrow everyone's hands."

White Demon stretched out his hand, and everyone imitated him. With a burst of applause, the world on the stage suddenly changed, but the two people on stage dodged in an instant. "Void Hole!" "Stand Doll!"

"..." White Demon also sensed that the two hadn't been transferred in by her, but it would be too embarrassing for everyone to see this. She had clearly said she was very powerful. So, a bright light shone on the field, and everyone around blinked. Senju saw White Demon personally go down into the field and fight the two. She stepped forward, ready to kick them in. Alice was hit, but Reimu dodged very well and fought with White Demon. However, the light barrier couldn't last too long. White Demon immediately made a price, and Reimu immediately agreed. Then she happily went in.

"..." Thousand Hands was speechless for a moment. The holy light on the stage lasted for too long. However, many people still saw what happened in the middle, and everyone looked at him with a strange expression.

"Let's see their performance," a bright light flashed, and the White Demon waved his hand, creating many floating mirrors on the field, showing scenes from that world, where Reimu and Alice were in a huge underground forest space.

"Hehehe, one hundred gold coins," Reimu's eyes gleamed with gold, then she found herself in another world, surrounded by a space constructed from giant tree roots. Alice, standing beside her, also looked around warily. "Reimu, are we supposed to fight here?"

“Probably,” Reimu said, raising the Yin-Yang Jewel, which began to emit a bright light. “Let’s finish this quickly, who knows what that old hag will do later.”

"Well, I'm going shopping with Marisa later, so let's finish this quickly," Alice said. Dozens of small gun-wielding dolls flew out from beside her, and the battle between the two was about to begin.

However, at this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the space between the two, and a black rabbit walked out. The two people next to her immediately stopped fighting. The black rabbit in the middle also felt a strong sense of danger, and her fur turned red. However, seeing that everything was alright, she turned back to normal and took out a piece of paper to explain the rules of the game to the two people.

Gift Game: The Labyrinth of the Underground Forest.

Victory conditions:

First, the participants leave the underground maze and enter the wilderness.

Second, the contestant disrupts the other's gift.

Third, the opponent is unable to meet the conditions for victory, including surrender.

Defeat conditions:

First, one of the conditions for achieving victory.

Second, the participant is unable to fulfill the aforementioned victory conditions.

After Black Rabbit finished speaking, he left the area, leaving the two people staring at each other in bewilderment. "What should we do now? Should we continue fighting?"

"I'm not fighting anymore. I'm best at finding mazes," Reimu patted her chest, then raised her hand, and the Yin-Yang Orb turned into a huge ball of light. With a powerful swing, Reimu shouted, "Let's go!"

The enormous Yin-Yang Orb carved a massive passage through the labyrinth, and Reimu flew away. The onlookers gasped in shock at the violent scene. Even Shiroyasha's eyes twitched. What was the point of the labyrinth then? He'd paid extra to have her act! He'd refund his ticket for this!

Alice shook her head slightly, then waved her hand, and countless puppet strings burst forth from her hand. At the other end of the strings were small puppets, numbering only a few hundred, which flew rapidly in all directions.

After a while, Alice, who was standing there calmly, blurred and then turned into a small doll. Meanwhile, in the wilderness on the other side, Alice's figure suddenly appeared, while Reimu was still diligently chopping wood in the labyrinth.

"The winner is Alice Margot Lloyd!" As Alice arrived in the wilderness, that world vanished, and then Black Rabbit loudly announced it. Then, Reimu was seen holding up a huge Yin-Yang Orb, ready to throw it, causing chaos in the arena.

"Um, Reimu, the match is over," Black Rabbit said cautiously. Everyone around her hesitated to speak, except for Marisa, who was laughing hysterically below, "Hahaha, Reimu, you're so stupid! The bet was mine..."

The people around her immediately parted, leaving only a few girls from Gensokyo, with Reimu sighing above.
