Offer blocks to the end times

Holding the Aqua statue, Senju, oblivious to everything, saw Sora casually waving his hand, "Alright, let's see the Queen first. We can talk about hospitality after we wake her up."

"Oh my, just as the rumors say, a very serious person☆ But Amelia might like that more☆"

"Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way."

“Okay~ Let’s go this way~ Woohoo~” Amira led the way, and the group headed towards Osend. Then Senju heard Ino whisper in Sora’s ear from behind, “Mr. Sora, how come you could refuse so directly?”

"Huh?" Sora was puzzled, while Senju speechlessly protected his maid. This old man was actually in heat with that mermaid! Just how thirsty was he?!

“In the sea, our five senses are also limited, so we cannot grasp Mr. Kong’s true intentions. However, you were able to resist the temptation of such a charming woman without hesitation. Mr. Kong, do you have unimaginable self-control?”

But Kong responded coldly, and scornfully said to the old man, "Grandpa, you're so desperate! Even if I were a virgin, would you want me to feel anything at that level? Let's go, Bai."

"Mmm," Bai replied, and then was carried away by Kong towards the city. The old man behind him was speechless. Qian Shou patted his shoulder helplessly and gave him a True Eye (Overdose) buff. "Grandpa, you're getting old. Remember to take good care of your eyes."

"?" The old man, Yi Ye, was even more bewildered. Then, he looked at Amira in front of him and started screaming in pain while clutching his eyes. But no one paid any attention to him. Senju rolled his eyes. She was just ordinary, not ugly at all. What did the old man see?

As soon as the group entered Osander, they were immediately given a warm welcome. The mermaids all had happy smiles on their faces, singing, dancing, and seducing. Although they were far inferior to Aqua in terms of singing, skills, and appearance, their welcome was palpable.

Moreover, among the cheerful marine creatures, one can often see girls who appear to be vampires, though their expressions differ from those of the marine creatures.

In stark contrast, it was a pitiful and weary smile.

Chapter 1182 The Mermaid Queen (Brain-Dead Version)

Senju stared speechlessly at the contrast between the two sides. Both were facing extinction, so why was there such a huge difference?! Even Aqua would struggle! Sora, standing beside her, had the same question, "I mean, these people are on the verge of extinction, so why are they still so cheerful and lively?"

“So I told you, they just don’t understand that at all!” Bram replied with a tired smile, and Jibril added for him, “Because the Seafolk are so stupid that they’re legendary. In the languages ​​of all races, they’re considered synonymous with stupid. Hey, Lord Thousand Hands, what are you doing?”

Thousand Hands, who was praying, lowered his hands. "I was just apologizing to a friend. It was so rude of me to call her an idiot. Now I've seen what a real idiot is."

"Uh..." The people around were speechless for a moment. Amira, who was in front, led the way without caring. The people behind were walking, or rather, walking. The beastmen seemed to be in low gravity conditions, hopping and skipping forward. Jibril and Senju and the others were 'flying'. Sora was manipulating the water flow to propel herself and Shiro forward.

Feeling this force, Kong sighed, "Compared to this universally acknowledged stupid race, is the human race even worse?"

"Heh," Senju shook his head speechlessly, "Ku, you don't know just how violent humans can be, do you?"

Jibril shook her head as well, "Maybe I would have thought that way before, but after meeting my masters, I realized that they only have special properties, which is why their sequence is one level higher. They don't have any brains at all."

Bram continued his critique with a weak smile, "Those people only know how to eat, drink, and have fun. They can't do anything else. Fish clearly contain ingredients that make people smarter, but fish themselves are actually quite stupid. Isn't that incredible?"

After listening to the three people's words, Kong nodded and said, "That's true. All de facto agents are like that."

“No, no, Lady Amira can speak human language, that’s already quite good,” Bram quickly explained from the side. The others looked at Bram speechlessly. That’s good enough?

Feeling the gazes of everyone, Bram seemed to resign himself to his fate. "We're all in this together. Building this city, asking for the assistance of the Sky Sovereigns, and coming up with a way to interfere with the Queen's dreams—it was all done by the vampires. They have no concept of labor; their greatest skill is mating, hahaha."

"You've all worked so hard," Kong then discussed races and hybrids with a group of people, focusing on how the sea creatures used the lives of men from other races to produce offspring, and how hybrids were impossible due to the issue of 'souls'.

Senju listened idly to the side, while a wisp of mist emerged from her hand. It transformed into an ugly mermaid in a corner of the city, where she was handing out a bunch of Axis doctrinal leaflets, with a statue of Aqua beside her.

As the group strolled around Aqua's faith, their conversation seemed to veer off course. Jibril, staring intently at the sky, asked, "Didn't I tell you that the Skywings aren't 'living beings'?"

“You said it’s not a creature but a life form,” Kong nodded in confusion, while Jibril continued, “If we take a part of the other’s soul and combine it with my soul, we can give birth to the child of the one whose form has been fixed. Theoretically, it’s possible.”

"?" Kong remained puzzled, then saw Jibril respectfully lower her head, move the halo behind her head, fold her wings, and clasp her hands as if in prayer, "If you would only say 'bear my child,' I, Jibril, am ready to bear your child at any time..."

"Jiburiel, shut up!" Bai gave Jibril a sharp look, while Senju rolled her eyes, then felt her clothes being tugged, and saw Rem behind her, her face completely red. "..."

"Arrived~" Just then, a loud voice rang out from the side. Senju turned around and saw that everyone had arrived at a larger door. She shook Rem's hand and conveyed her thoughts to her before she calmed down.

"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting! This is the Queen's room~" Amira reached out and slowly pushed open the door, and pink light flowed out.

The Queen's room was quite spacious, with pink curtains and carpets everywhere. The stained glass on the ceiling also brought sunlight that had reached the seabed into the room, although that light was not very useful, since there was a huge, dazzling crystal or ice block on the double-shell throne over there.

“That’s more like it,” Senju nodded, while the others were speechless with shock. Amy solemnly announced to everyone, “Let me introduce you to the Queen of the Seafolk, Her Majesty Laila Lorelei.”

"Uh," Thousand Hands was speechless for a moment. Upon closer inspection, he realized that there was a mermaid sleeping in the ice block. She was receiving the same treatment as the Star God Ai Lu Ke, except that her chest had not been pierced.

"It's a little disappointing," Senju shook her head slightly as she looked at the mermaid's appearance. "My Rem is still prettier, and Ram is pretty too."

"Lord Senju, I feel like you're not being very sincere," Ram complained. Senju chuckled awkwardly and listened silently to Bram and Amira whispering to each other behind him.

Asia

"Lady Ami, regarding the matter of awakening Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty Sora said she hopes everyone here will participate in the game. Is that alright?"

"Okay, no problem☆ But is everything alright with Bram?"

"Yes, so I want about fifty people to help compile the formulas."

“OK☆ I’ll go prepare to awaken the Queen. Since magic is needed, blood is required. I’ll go gather the others. Bram, I’ll leave this to you.”

“Yes…then I’ll go prepare to enter the Queen’s dream,” the two then left, but it seemed that a few people didn’t notice, only staring at the ice block where the Queen was sleeping.

“What a beautiful woman!” Steve exclaimed enthusiastically, as if she had forgotten that she was also a woman. In fact, Jibril, the priestess, and even Izuna all felt the same way about that gorgeous appearance.

The old man next to him, Yi Ye, initially dismissed it, but gradually became captivated by it, as if it were the only treasure in the world, his gaze deeply drawn to it.

"Hmm? Is she that beautiful, Bai?" Kong offered a different opinion, and Bai nodded in agreement, "Me neither, I don't quite understand either."

"What?!" The crowd stared in disbelief at the two people tilting their heads. "Are you two mentally sound?! If this woman isn't beautiful, then who is?!"

Chapter 1183 A Game of Risking Everything

"You need to calm down. She's not so beautiful as to warrant this fuss, is she?" Sora frowned impatiently at Steve's protest, then noticed Senju cuddling with her maid. "Senju-sama, what's going on?"

“It’s just bewitching magic,” Thousand Hands said simply, casting a magical vision on him. “This queen’s magic is connected to the entire ocean, which means they are bewitched by the entire ocean and of course they can’t resist.”

“Is that so?” Sora turned his gaze back to the Queen and saw Lyra Lorelei, the mermaid princess sleeping in the ice coffin, her body covered in dense colors that made him feel dizzy and nauseous. “So this is magic? It’s truly an amazing thing.”

“Well, aren’t there many similar things in myths and legends?” Senju said casually. Sora nodded, having watched anime for a reason. “Please wake them up, Lord Senju, except for the old man.”

"OK," Senju snapped his fingers, casting a protective spell to dispel interference on them. The group's eyes flickered, and they snapped back to reality, then abruptly took a few steps back. "Who was that just now?!"

"It's a 'trait' possessed by marine species!" The priestess and Jibril exclaimed immediately after regaining their senses, realizing they had indeed been affected!

"What happened?" Kong wanted to hear their personal experiences.

The two looked at each other, too afraid to look at the ice. Jibril nodded. "Sea creatures don't have superior physical bodies or magic, but they can still survive because, as long as they're in the sea, they have an 'attractive charm'!"

“Ah, I see. Just as Lord Senju said, it’s bewitching magic,” Sora and Shiro nodded, while Jibril gave Senju a deep look. “Indeed, as the darlings of the sea, the sea creatures are filled with ‘water spirits’ that can attract spirits. It’s not something that would normally be worth paying attention to, but…”

Jibril glanced at the Queen, then looked away again. "The amount of spirit this mermaid possesses is truly 'exceptional,' even I couldn't resist it."

Jibril was quite unhappy about the unavoidable effects, and the priestess scratched her head before looking over, "But why doesn't this apply to you?"

“Yes, Jibril said we don’t have any elves,” Bai said from the side, then the priestess looked at Senju, “They weren’t affected because they don’t have any elves, but Lady Senju, what about you? Are you really a god?”

“That’s right, but isolating me from charms isn’t difficult for me. Besides, you’ve both come to your senses now,” Senju said, waving his fingers. The Blank siblings exchanged a glance, and they seemed to understand something.

“That makes sense, but as long as there is a soul, there are spirits. What exactly is the mystery that our masters possess?” Jibril muttered to herself, her eyes filled with excitement as she looked at the blank space.

At this moment, Ino was also kicked to the ground by the shrine maiden, and then struggled between sobriety and confusion, "Could it be that Mr. Sora is impotent as a man?"

"Shut up, old man. You're just driven by your lower instincts. I'm a rational being."

"It's alright, I'll treat you to turtle soup when we get back!"

"roll!"

"Sorry to keep you all waiting!" Amidst the commotion, Amira and Bram returned noisily. "Now, using Bram and the others' magic, please enter Her Majesty's dream."

Incidentally, Amira casually remarked, "Those who wish to awaken the Queen must swear an oath to the covenant, betting everything, before touching the crystal."

"..." The surroundings suddenly fell silent. Senju, Ram, and Rem took a step back. "We're not interested in this."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Steve broke the silence, looking at the people on both sides with a puzzled expression. Thousand Hands shrugged. "I have no interest in winning over this queen, and besides, we're not on the same side anyway."

Amira looked puzzled. "Huh? Is there a problem?"

“Of course there’s a problem!” Steve shouted angrily. “Is it really necessary? We came here to help after being asked!”

"Brahm, did you bring him here without explaining?"

"Waaah, I'm so sorry..."

“Calm down, Steve. You’re the one who doesn’t understand,” Kong said calmly. “We were invited here to wake her up through the Queen’s game, right?”

"Article 3 of the Ten Covenants states that the game requires an equal wager from both sides. The Queen enters sleep in accordance with the covenant. Since the game is designed to make oneself fall in love with the other party, then of course there will be a wager required to win the Queen's love, right?"

"Yes, yes, he's a handsome guy, not just in appearance, but in his head too!" Amira laughed and nodded in agreement. Senju, on the other hand, was inwardly wiping away cold sweat. He hadn't thought about that at all; he simply didn't like the Queen. But for now, he would pretend to be confident.

“That…that kind of thing is too strange,” Steve said, finding it hard to accept. “They are the ones who are in danger, and we are here to help them. Why should we take on that kind of risk!”

Thousand Hands nodded in agreement, shaking his fingers in the air. "Brahm said that interfering with emotions and dreams is impossible according to the Ten Covenants. It is only possible because the Queen agrees, but her agreement is purely in the game."

"Without starting the Queen's game first, a series of spells cannot be used, and of course, the Queen cannot be awakened. To gain the right to play the game with the Queen, the stakes she demands are: if you want my love, you must show the willingness to give up everything! Is that right?"

Steve looked speechless, while Senju rolled his eyes. This time, he felt that Steve was his real friend. He was overthinking things. "Well then, you guys have your game. We're going to go out for a walk."

"Lord Senju, what strategy do you think is best?" Seeing Senju about to turn and leave, Kong asked, standing there. Senju rolled her eyes. "Heh, I think beating her up is the best!"

"..." This time it was Sora's turn to be speechless. Senju waved and left. He had followed her all the way and found that the queen he was trying to conquer actually looked like this. He immediately lost interest. He would rather spend this time recruiting a few more 'believers' for Aqua.

With Ram and Rem by their side, Senju started strolling around. There were quite a few beautiful decorations here, such as pearls, corals, gems, and gold jewelry. The two maids were a little dazzled by the sights, so the three of them casually wandered around the streets, buying souvenirs from the underwater city.

Chapter 1184 Vampires in Desperate Situations

However, while shopping, Senju realized how problematic the sea creatures' heads were. Many sea creatures were circling around him, trying to seduce him. Even though Senju lowered his presence, those idiots still instinctively noticed him and wanted to play games with him, which made Senju a little impatient.

Looking at the vampire girls around her, Senju suddenly realized that if lowering her presence didn't work, she would use illusion magic. After using illusion magic for a short while, the mermaids around her dispersed.

"Ram and Rem, let's go eat fish later," Senju said resentfully. The two maids nodded. After wandering around for a while, they were also amazed by the miraculous architecture, the carefree mermaid idiot, and the gloomy-faced girls.

"But, Lady Senju, where are we going to eat?" Rem looked around, completely bewildered. Although she could move around underwater, figuring out how to eat underwater was a problem.

"Let's go over there," Senju said, leading the two to a cluster of buildings. This area was surrounded by a waterproof barrier, forming a landmass on the seabed. Various minerals were used for lighting. Senju knew that this was the gathering area of ​​vampires.

However, the atmosphere here seemed very unpleasant. There wasn't a single man in sight; it was all women with worried expressions, discussing things like the extinction of their race. A few of them were also discussing the missionary activities on the street, surprised to learn that some sea creatures were spreading the word about a god.

Speaking of the doctrines of Axis, perhaps it is the despair of this race when it faces the crisis of extinction. Some vampires actually feel quite good about it. Senju rolled her eyes speechlessly, not afraid that Aqua would purify them.

However, Aqua isn't actually needed for purification here, because the Senju clan hasn't seen a single male vampire along their journey, except for that cross-dressing Bram. Incidentally, the vampires here can't allow other creatures to become their kind after they've been drinking their blood.

Moreover, what they need is not blood or bodily fluids, but a portion of the soul contained within them. This is something that beasts do not possess; only the sixteen races have souls. People whose blood has been sucked will experience various problems due to the mixing of their souls, but they will not become vampires. They can only increase their offspring through normal reproduction.

Imagine a race reduced to just one underage cross-dresser and a bunch of women; you can imagine how long it will last until it goes extinct. Especially since there are plenty of mermaids eyeing the vampires; they won't pass up the chance to reproduce (and kill).

However, none of this mattered to Senju, because after looking around, he realized there weren't any normal restaurants here! Nobody ever ate here; they didn't eat anything, they just needed to inhale substances containing...

All you need is bodily fluids with a soul.

After making a slight complaint, Senju hesitated about spreading the word about vampires here. However, after hesitating for a while, Senju heard a vampire girl brazenly talking about scheming against humans and turning them into food.

Senju immediately remembered the blank space in the game, but they should be fine. The two of them were much smarter than Senju, and with the strong Jibril, they were even more likely to be safe.

However, looking at this group of chattering vampires, Senju suddenly wondered if he could kill them. He snapped his fingers, and a small sun rose in the space. However, the screaming girls around him seemed to be fine, just scared out of their wits.
