His face immediately turned dark. This was not his normal thought. After all, after gaining power, Senju had imagined many terrible scenarios, but he had suppressed them all. He had also made the chains that bound his beastly nature a part of his mind, but this was now clearly weakened.

"Lord Senju?" Black Rabbit called out timidly. Senju felt a surge of excitement. The rabbit's long, white legs were really... No, Senju instantly cast a spell on himself to enhance his mechanical mind, which calmed him down. "Black Rabbit, you can go out for a bit. I have some things to do."

"Lord Senju, are you alright?" Black Rabbit was still worried. "What do you need me to do? Black Rabbit can help."

"It's nothing, just a check-up..." Senju said, his gaze lingering on Kuroto. Kuroto froze for a moment, then her face suddenly turned red. A large paper fan appeared in her hand, and she slammed it into Senju's hand. "Senju-sama, what are you thinking?! Pervert! Kuroto's going to get angry!"

"Ahem, it's nothing," Senju said, using the power of her paper fan and her witty remarks to cast a spell to protect her mind. "Alright, Black Rabbit, I have important things to do, so you don't need to worry."

“Since Lord Senju has said so, then Black Rabbit will wait outside.” Black Rabbit looked at Senju’s expression, his ears drooping, and then slowly walked out.

Although Senju felt a little disappointed watching the rabbit leave, it seemed that he could have played the escape room game just now... No, his state was really not right. Senju began to carefully examine himself.

He scanned his world and found that nothing was missing, nor were his items and abilities. In fact, he had gained many more things, such as prayers, curses, requests from believers, and a strange sense of responsibility that made him feel he should do something for this world. Hundreds of strange impulses urged him to do something.

But none of this had anything to do with him! Senju then examined himself and discovered that his origin was heavily marked with a strong power of faith. This power was constantly interfering with his thoughts. Senju suddenly realized that he had somehow become bound to the history of humanity in this universe.

Upon realizing this, Senju instantly wanted to flip the table. Although he was now considered omnipotent in this world, he became even angrier after understanding the situation. The current situation was like a factory where the management made a lot of money and became successful people (gods).

However, they then discovered that there were many dangers around the factory, and the factory could go bankrupt at any time, leaving them with nothing. So they planned to run away, but at this moment, a perfect scapegoat appeared.

Of course, the scapegoat cannot be chosen randomly; there must be requirements. Thousand Hands perfectly meets these requirements, possessing enormous 'financial resources.' Thousand Hands' company (world) contains shares (cause and effect) of all of them, allowing everyone to jump out of the mire together.

And coincidentally, the Senju foolishly joined this factory, embezzling funds (the World Axis) and creating panic (the Final Trial of Humanity), which perfectly met their expectations. A group of gods immediately threw shackles at the Senju through 'legal means', while they ran away with the benefits.

However, this meant that the factory's management became Senju, who was tied to the factory. But if the factory were to be destroyed, Senju would also suffer heavy losses. Of course, this was not within the considerations of the fleeing gods. They used the money to start a company that was much better than the broken factory, and incidentally, they also lured away their connections.

Sensing the streams of information, Senju's face naturally turned ugly. He hadn't wanted to become a brainless believer in a god, but now he had been tricked.

Although this was partly due to Senju's insatiable greed, he only wanted to secretly take away the foundation of this world. Although his subordinates wanted to dig things up from here, it seems there are no buts. Senju's thoughts wandered for a moment, but after calmly analyzing the situation, it seems that he was the one who made the first move, so he can't blame anyone else for his current predicament.

The completely rational Senju began to analyze his gains: an increase in rank and power, plus a bonus of a miniature garden. However, Senju knew that this place was just a wasteland; the important essence had been taken away by those gods, and now it was all supported by the World Tree.

Senju felt the little garden being rapidly moved out of the center of the universe, and his mind went blank again. Through layers of defense, countless prayers made him feel uncomfortable. Senju knew that if he didn't solve this problem, he would soon be driven insane by this chaotic faith.

However, the system was clearly not interested in these things. Just as he was about to try to throw this faith into the End, the World Tree in his mind suddenly moved. Thousand Hands suddenly realized that what he regarded as garbage was indeed excellent nourishment for the World Tree and could make up for its deficiencies.

Thousand Hands immediately activated the World Tree, and then immediately felt much lighter. He then saw strange streams of faith power pouring into the World Tree from the void, and small fruits began to reappear on the tree, seemingly nurturing new deities.

"What is this?!" Senju was surprised because he found that the power he had just increased seemed to have suddenly hydrolyzed and slowly disappeared. However, he also found that the connection between his Little Garden world and the source was slowly broken, and the mark on the source was slowly transferred to the World Tree.

"Is this even possible?" Senju paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that although he could think of countless good methods, the current situation was the best for him. Now he had an additional faith clone, and he could completely get rid of this constraint by abandoning this clone.

However, after sensing the power within, Senju felt a pang of reluctance. After all, this was an immense power; if she let it go so easily, what would be the point of all her hard work and clandestine activities here?

Shaking his head, Senju continued to maintain control over the World Tree. He wanted to find a way to break free from the shackles of this universe and take this power with him. Of course, it would be great if he could take the entire universe with him, but it was clear that the gods were not giving Senju a chance. They had already expelled the Little Garden World from the very center of the universe.

Chapter 1002 Changes in Laws

"Hehe, really," Senju shook his head slightly, pushed open the door and went out, then saw the worried Black Rabbit outside the door, "Lord Senju, are you alright? You suddenly fainted, which made everyone very worried."

“Of course it’s nothing,” Senju mischievously touched her ear. Hmm, it felt smooth, not bad at all. “It’s just that I suddenly had an insight into this world and fell into the deepest state of meditation.”

"Lord Senju, what are you doing?" Black Rabbit was being swayed back and forth by Senju's touch. Senju smiled slightly, "Feels pretty good, hahaha, I've wanted to do this for a long time. Alright, don't look so sad. Everything here should be over soon, and your companions will be back soon."

As she spoke, Senju slowly transformed into a beam of light and flew to the outside of Mizuki. After briefly displaying her aura in the air, Senju teleported to Yakumo Yukari's location using her senses.

Her condition looked bad; she could no longer maintain her human form and had turned into a constantly pulsating black rift in the air. There were many Gensokyo people around her casting spells to help her regain consciousness, but it didn't seem to be working well.

"How is Yukari?" Senju slowly walked over, and the people around breathed a sigh of relief. After taking a look, Senju roughly understood Yukari's condition.

Indeed, a large amount of 'fear' can cause a yokai's strength to surge, but Yakumo Yukari clearly does not have the 'magnanimity' to bear a part of human history in a universe. After all, she is only a yokai sage, not a yokai king.

If it weren't for the peculiarity of her original form, any other creature would have been burst apart long ago. However, to Senju's surprise, Yakumo Yukari's voice came from the other side, "I'm fine, but this time it was really too dangerous. It almost destroyed our world. Please punish me, Lady Senju."

“It doesn’t matter, anyway we didn’t have good intentions in the first place,” Thousand Hands shook his head slightly. “Besides, I underestimated the gods here. I knew they were up to no good, but I didn’t take any precautions. Anyway, let’s restore you to your original form now.”

“No need for all that trouble,” came a different opinion from Yukari Yakumo. “Although I have returned to my original form this time, it’s just that my power has increased too much and I can’t maintain it. With Reimu and the others suppressing me, my original form will not expand further.”

"Moreover, this is a good opportunity for me to refine and reforge the items that Lord Senju gave me, and make them my companion magic weapons."

"Oh, I see," Senju nodded from the side, indicating that he didn't understand what she was saying at all. He knew about magic weapons, but he had never made any. He had only made magical items before. Although he had obtained information about magic weapons, Senju had never actually made any.

However, seeing how confident she seemed, Senju didn't interfere much. After all, he had to save her some face, right? After all, she had planned things well before, but the results were too great and almost crushed her.

Moreover, I have another task to do now, which is to stabilize the stability of the Little Garden continent. As I mentioned before, the Little Garden world has been expelled from the center of this universe, so its connection with the surrounding small worlds has weakened, and the feedback power has also decreased.

But this doesn't matter at all. After all, there's no outflow here, and the stability of various blessings can still be maintained. However, there's a small problem in the middle. Because the support of the world has changed from the world axis to the world tree, the law network of the miniature garden has begun to gradually collapse. Although the basic laws can still be maintained, it will be difficult to carry out things like blessing games.

The people in the miniature garden still receive various blessings.

The power of the community is there, but it's impossible to play the game as freely as before. Moreover, the stars in the sky are no longer flags, but just decorations. Too many community flags have been lost.

Because of this, many communities fell apart, and there were disturbances everywhere. However, Senju was unwilling to let this great ship he had just acquired sink. Although the ship was leaking, he could plug the leaks. With this in mind, the World Tree began to transmit new laws.

He temporarily appointed a group of people as local rulers to stabilize the region, granting them certain authority to quell the chaos in their areas, but the majority of them were his own allies.

When the World Tree merged into this world, Senju sensed the situation here. It was clearly a man-made world, or rather, a world created by a god. The various laws on it were very deliberate, and Senju didn't like them too much.

However, it would be a shame to turn it into an ordinary world, especially since there are still many powerful figures there. After all, although the gods have run away, there are still many demon kings, star spirits, monsters, and some abandoned divine forces here.

If they aren't dealt with properly, it will be very troublesome. If the rules here aren't handled properly, it will also be very troublesome. In short, Senju felt it was all very troublesome. He didn't have the mood to deal with the changes in this world, so he handed things over to his subordinates.

The group was naturally bewildered. What was supposed to be a small project had suddenly escalated into something as simple as reshaping the laws of the world! It all happened so fast! And what did they mean by a world that was harmonious and loving, with competition, not too lifeless, nor too cruel...? Was this some kind of setup to make things difficult for them?!

Senju didn't care how many brain cells they lost. He casually summoned Black Rabbit, asked everyone in their community, and then summoned everyone over.

However, Black Rabbit said there was one more important person, the leader Canary, who was not there. Izayoi Sakamaki's expression changed slightly. Senju observed for a while using various methods and then discovered that the Canary lady was not in this world at all.

After hearing what Senju said, Black Rabbit knew there was no other way. She could only hope that the former leader was living well in another world. Senju and Black Rabbit nodded and then, ignoring the noisy crowd around them, teleported away.

Now he's going to start cleaning up the troublemakers in the world. First, he'll judge whether they're good or evil. Those who are too evil will be killed and their materials extracted. For the others, he'll ask about their wishes. If they're willing to leave, Senju will send them away.

Of course, some of them didn't want to leave. Some were willing to live peacefully here, while others ignored Senju and even wanted to kill him. Senju had no choice but to teach them how to be human/demon.

Over the next month, hundreds of battles broke out in the miniature world, frightening the scouts who had gone to great lengths to come here. They went back and reported to Ainz that this was an extremely dangerous world and that it was best not to set up a migration target here.

After slaying the last Demon King, Senju looked around at the miniature world. A third of the continent had been destroyed, and many ruins had been created in the miniature city. However, no one questioned Senju's rule anymore. Everyone was thinking about how to live in the new world.

Volume 10: System Shutdown

Chapter 1004 The Return to the Past Plan Begins

Regardless of what the people here thought, the disappearance of the White Demon, or the revenge against those gods, Senju returned to the space. Inside, Ishii had already prepared the time machine and was ready to go back and save his world. Beside him were Chito and Yuri, plus Chiri, the car girl. They wanted to rewrite history and continue the human world.

Thousand Hands was there to protect them, and William and his group were also there. They were going to watch and see if they could change history, and if so, they would try it in their own world.

Long ago, Senju was able to open the door easily, but he still didn't want to take the risk. Not only would the fluctuations of history erase him, but Senju also didn't want Chito and the others to travel across the world for adventure. So Senju used the excuse that the teleportation there was unstable and nothing could pass through to dissuade them from their idea.

However, it's clear that this excuse is no longer valid. Ishii has created a machine that can travel through time and space, and can directly pass through unstable portals. So Senju is still prepared to accompany them. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Senju can now ensure that her timeline remains unchanged.

"Are you really going to go?" Senju looked seriously at the group of people beside him, and they answered him seriously as well, "Yes, after following you to so many worlds, we have discovered that there is still a way to save our own world. Let us try this time, otherwise we will never be satisfied."

“Well,” Thousand Hands sighed, reached out and took out a small blue cube, looked at the small building-like machine next to him and muttered, “Really, it actually made it. I hope it’s useless.”

Thousand Hands used the blue cube in his hand to locate the portal, then opened it. There were still intermittent ripples on the portal. Thousand Hands gently stroked it, and the ripples immediately calmed down, revealing the scene on the other side.

At that time, the sky was filled with flying snow. The portal opened by Senju was high in the sky, but the group didn't care at all. They packed their belongings and flew in. Senju sighed and followed behind.

Over there, the commander had already used magic to dispel the wind and snow, and a group of people descended to the ground. After clearing the ground, they began to examine it using various methods.

The surrounding situation.

Thousand Hands scanned the entire planet and discovered that there were still people active near the Earth's equator, but they were not humans, but beastmen, who were the people who had migrated from the floating continent.

"There really aren't any humans left," Senju said with some disappointment. In the world of the War of the Gods, humans could still survive underground, but here there were only ruins and no signs of life. It seemed that only humans could have completely killed humanity.

With a slight shake of his head, Qian Shou knew that for human warfare, attacking underground targets was not easy at all; in fact, people died much faster underground. Now that even the people on the surface had completely disappeared, it was even less likely that there would be anyone underground.

Beside him, Ishii was also using technology and magic to investigate the situation on Earth. A three-dimensional virtual image of Earth floated in front of him, marked with various colors, and there was a constantly changing curve on one side.

"So it was them," Ishii zoomed in on the virtual image, then realized that the active life forms she sensed were actually the orcs from the floating continent. After a moment of disappointment, she looked at other areas and discovered strange white creatures there. "Is this what they are? How did they come into being? Are they aliens?"

"Probably," Yuri said absentmindedly, staring intently at the snow on the side as if using her telekinesis. Then, a huge snowman slowly piled up there and began to walk around. "By the way, Chihiro, should we go find Nuko?"

"This isn't the time for this kind of thing," Chito muttered helplessly. Although she was immune to heat and cold, she still unconsciously tightened her coat when she saw the surrounding snow. "We came here to find out the reason for humanity's destruction in the past, and then solve it. That way, things can get much better now..."

“None of that matters,” Yuri said nonchalantly. “As long as I’m with Chihiro, that’s all that matters. Besides, life is good now, and I have lots of people to play with.”

"Yu," Qianhu called out softly, and Qian Shou covered her face in dismay. The yuri relationship between these two was getting more and more serious. "Alright, let's see if that machine can run first."

“That’s right,” Ishii said, deactivating the monitoring spell and then casting another spell that caused her experimental tower to sprout from the snow. “Let’s go inside; there’s still a lot to do.”

But then William stepped forward, "Thousand Hands, I'd like to visit Swann. I think he should participate in this experiment as well."

“Swan, huh?” Thousand Hands nodded, then made a gesture to the side, and a rift appeared there. On the other side was the Great Sage Swan, who was studying books. However, when he saw that a spatial rift had opened beside him, he quickly put on a defensive shield, and then three flying ice spikes appeared around him.

"William, you've finally arrived?" Swan dispelled his magic and then looked at Senju. "Greetings, Lord Senju. Are you here to conduct a spacetime experiment?"

“Hmm, not bad,” Senju nodded, then looked at him with some surprise. “I didn’t expect you to know about this. Did William tell you?”

“That’s right,” Swan nodded, then waved the book in his hand, “William told me about this plan before, and I’m also in charge of part of this experiment. I’m here collecting data and measuring many constants, but my scientific research isn’t very deep, so many things still need to be measured.”

“Uh, I see,” Senju nodded speechlessly. Swan was holding a scientific report, and no one knew where he had found it. “But in that case, you might as well come over here, so I don’t have to explain.”

"Thank you, Lord Thousand Hands," Swan bowed slightly. "The power of time and space is something we sorcerers have been researching. I never imagined there would be a machine that can travel through time and space. Of course, I would like to see it."

After saying that, Swan came over with a few books. He exchanged a few more pleasantries with Lila and the others before the group arrived at the White Tower. Ishii opened the door, and everyone went inside.

Chapter 1005 Spacetime Experiment

Upon entering the main hall, Senju saw dozens of time machines of similar shape, with many people adjusting them. Senju recognized one of them, Makise Kurisu, but this was not the real thing; it was an intelligent AI created through the 'Amadeus' system.

However, when Senju did the experiment last time, she tried this out, and of course it was successful. So Senju recommended Makise Kurisu to Ishii to research the machine. Now it seems that the result is quite good, and she seems to have become an important member of the laboratory.

Makise Kurisu was very excited when she arrived here. Not only did she witness the legendary magic, but she also heard the incredible 'Unified Theory', which greatly improved her knowledge. With the help of some information about time machines, she began to assist Ishii in developing a universal time machine.

Of course, besides this time machine developed based on the Steins;Gate time machine theory, there is also a time machine developed by the people of Academy City based on their research into time-space abilities. After a unified theory was reached, Academy City's advanced technology became even more advanced.

Of course, besides the scientific side, there is also

The time machine of the mystical side, but it is based on the five major magics and spirit crystals. It can be used, but the theoretical aspects are unclear.

Although Ishii herself was very powerful, she still felt that technology was the best choice, and magic was only a supplement. Therefore, she set the main body of the time machine to be scientific, and the mystical technology was only used as a supplement.

She did conduct many experiments in the space, during which many accidents occurred. However, the experimental machines could only rewind to a few minutes or days ago, and could not rewind to several years ago, since the space there had only been established for a short time.

So she decided to try it out in the outside world. Of course, the best place to experiment was in the universe she was going to travel through, which is why she wanted to come here.

Senju breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her words. He thought the time machine could go back to the past at any time, but it turned out that it still needed to be tested. Senju thought to himself, then his eyes twitched as he watched Ishii direct the machine to place a time machine into a beam of light. "What is this?"

"That's a traction beam," Ishii said casually, glancing up at the sky. "The protective barriers of the test site above are all open. Hopefully, Unit 35 can operate normally here."

"Uh," Senju was speechless for a moment. He realized that his scientific literacy had dropped significantly after not studying for a while. But did he have to become a researcher who cultivated both magic and science? He was clearly just a system user.

While Thousand Hands was lost in thought, the people on the other side had already turned on the surveillance footage. That was the top floor of the White Tower, but the shielding layer above it had been opened, and there were many protective magic arrays on the surrounding walls. Judging from its defensive capabilities, even if a small black hole appeared, it wouldn't be a problem.

"Time Machine No. 35, first experiment begins," the experiment started while Senju was in a daze. Senju quickly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he found no one missing. "By the way, if we're doing a time-space experiment, who exactly is inside?"
