Offer blocks to the end times

However, rankings don't tell us much, after all, there are divine beings on those planets who can use the entire Red Moon as a weapon, and with a single strike, most of the planet's life would be wiped out.

"Never mind," Senju shook his head slightly. That place was already taken, so he wouldn't go. But the scene on the screen looked rather boring. "Hmm?!"

Thousand Hands stared speechlessly at a corner of the screen, where Bram had left the stage. He was now in a semi-transparent spirit state, but without the limitations of a physical body, his soul was truly powerful. He was currently constructing various illusions in the air, with many figures moving around inside.

To be honest, it's the vampire's physical body that limits him. In his soul form, he's comparable to a Shinigami who has cultivated for thousands of years, and he's also an illusionist of the same caliber as Aizen. He's quite dangerous.

The current state makes it easier for him to analyze things. He could just play a game with him right now. Thinking this, Senju slowly drew a Zanpakuto and then flew up in his spirit form.

"Lord Senju?" Ram and Rem, who were standing nearby, were a little confused. They had also seen Senju's spirit form. Senju nodded slightly. "Yes, I have something to take care of and need to use this form. You two should take my body and rest for now."

"..." Ram seemed to want to complain about something, but she held back. Rem asked with concern, "Senju-sama, do you need our help?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing. It's just that I need to be in this state," Senju shook his head slightly, waved to the two of them, and slowly flew into the air. "You two should go back and rest too."

"Could it be that Lord Senju is going to see a ghost?" Ram muttered to herself, then yawned and picked up Senju's clone. "Rem, let's find a place to rest."

“Yes, sister,” Rem nodded, and then the two walked out of the arena. The number of people here had decreased considerably, and many people had fallen asleep. After all, they were very tired after several hours of concerts. However, there were also quite a few people who were still there, stubbornly watching the light screen.

The Thousand Hands, who had soared into the air, stopped there, looking at Bram's soul. It seemed that even after all the dice were used up, he wasn't completely dead; he was just temporarily existing as a spirit. Presumably, the priestess was the same. But where had the priestess's soul gone?

"Yo, Bram, you're doing well now," Senju greeted Bram with a smile. Bram paused for a moment, then looked Senju over carefully and asked uncertainly, "Lord Senju, are you in... soul form?!"

"Oh? You can tell?" Senju looked at him in surprise, then nodded. "That's right, I'm in spirit form right now."

"Could it be that you, sir, also participated in the game and lost all the dice?" Bram looked at Senju in surprise. Senju didn't let him think too much and immediately shook his head. "No, I just saw your soul and thought it would be better to come in this state."

As he spoke, the Thousand Hands-like spirit appeared somewhat ethereal.

It quickly solidified. "Now this is the normal spirit state. How about a game?"

"A game?" Bram looked at Senju's change and shook his head slightly. "Senju-sama, right now, I'm in a game! And I don't understand Senju-sama either. Aren't all the things you do meaningless?"

"Hmm? Do you know what I want to do?" Senju looked at him, puzzled. Bram nodded. "Lord Senju is really easy to understand. You want to obtain my body and soul for research, right? But for a divine race, isn't it simpler to create another race?"

“Well, what you said makes a lot of sense. It is indeed very simple to recreate a race with divine power, or even to directly modify the human race with divine power,” Senju shrugged. “But I don’t really like this method. Just consider it my OCD acting up. Okay, let’s talk about the game.”

Thousand Hands extended a finger. "By the way, it's possible to survive in spirit form alone, especially with a powerful soul like yours."

"As for the prize, it's very simple: the vampire blood that will keep you at your peak forever. All I want is a thorough analysis of your data and existence."

Chapter 1227 Exchange

"It really surprises me. I thought that being raised by the sea creatures and being outwitted by His Majesty Kong and the others, everyone's impression of me as a nobody was completely fixed. Even if I was considered just a cross-dressing perverted pretty boy who liked to sweat, there was nothing I could do about it. But I didn't expect Lord Senju to value me so much!"

Bram shouted loudly, then stomped his foot on the ground. The surrounding scenery immediately distorted and declared war, the scenes of day and night twisting and merging together. A blood-red, eerie light flickered in Bram's purple pupils. "I am a very troublesome, sweat-loving, cross-dressing perverted pretty boy, and also the King of the Night!!"

"No, it's just perverted," Senju muttered, feeling slightly dizzy as he observed the changes around him. The entire space was distorting as the blood-red pattern in Bram's pupils spread, even time and space were becoming chaotic. He was redefining the world with genjutsu! Wait, is that the Sharingan...?

"To thank you for your attention, please allow me to use my full power," Bram's wings began to grow larger, encompassing the entire surrounding space. "God, feel my power!"

"Whoosh!" Senju instinctively swung his Zanpakuto, cleaving through the surrounding illusion. "What? What did you say?"

"..." Bram stood there for a moment, then quickly lay down on the ground. "I'm really sorry, I'm just a nobody and I'm still so arrogant!"

"Oh," Senju shrugged. "Alright, don't be discouraged. You're not some pushover. This is me challenging you. Let's decide how to play this game!"

"But no matter what, I'm bound to lose!" Bram looked at Senju with teary eyes. Senju tilted his head and thought for a while. "That makes sense. Hmm... Ah! Let's have an exchange. That way, everyone can get what they want."

"What I can offer is vampire blood, a method for independent spiritual existence, and, well, crops that allow vampires to obtain energy. What you can give up is your talent and your own definition of existence..."

"Excuse me, what crop are you talking about?" Bram looked at Senju excitedly. Senju casually took out a seed, and after a little stimulation, it turned into a vine plant with blood-red fruits hanging on it. "This is it, the Blood Fruit. It can provide the spirits that vampires need for growth and survival. If we can grow this, vampires will no longer need to depend on other races."

"Lord Senju, I want this!" Bram looked earnestly at Senju, who nodded without reminding him that this thing needed to grow under the sun. "Alright, but what do you want in exchange? Talent? Existence? Or a name?"

"Name?" Bram said, puzzled. Thousand Hands started his charade again, "That's right, names. Similar names can create associations, and the original meaning can be somewhat skewed. So, a name is a very important thing, especially when you meet someone you want, like me."

"Then what about the other things? Talent and existence?" Bram pondered for a moment before asking again. Thousand Hands continued to explain, "Talent is easy to explain. It's the affinity, flexibility, and application that are linked to special abilities. Without these, it's difficult for people to learn and control those abilities. The common saying is that you don't have a talent for something. Of course, I can copy your talent without affecting you."

"As for existence, it's the impression a person leaves on the world. For example, you have attributes like 'the only male vampire,' 'cross-dresser,' 'pervert,' and 'the strongest illusionist.' By the way, the first three are worthless to me."

“Don’t think that existence is such a simple thing,” Senju said, seeing that Bram seemed to want to say something. He continued to explain.

"Existence is very important; it's something essential for a person in this world. If you lose the first, the vampire race might be left with only women; if you lose the second, no matter how much you dress as a woman, others will immediately recognize you as male; if you lose the third, you'll have an extreme aversion to licking other people's bodily fluids, and then you'll weaken and die; if you lose the fourth, you'll find the world's favor towards you diminishes—simply put..."

The success rate has been reduced.

“Is it that dangerous?” Bram shuddered. He could almost see himself transformed into a woman, rejected by others, or starving to death because of his psychological resistance. But then, thinking of the goods that Thousand Hands was offering, he swallowed hard in his soul form. “I will exchange my talent, my name, and the title of ‘Strongest Illusionist’ for your goods.”

"Deal," Thousand Hands immediately agreed, tacitly agreeing to the one-for-one exchange. Then Bram, no, Bram felt a strange change. His application of illusion magic seemed a bit rusty, and his name seemed to have always been 'Bam,' and the name on all the records of his information also changed.

Incidentally, Bu also learned about the transformation method of the 'Shinigami' existence. His clothes began to change rapidly, from women's clothing to Shinigami attire, but he did not have a Zanpakuto. A box of seeds and a crystal ball containing a drop of blood floated in front of him, and he then hid them with genjutsu.

Senju looked at the three orbs of light in his hand, squeezed them slightly, and the three orbs merged into a concept: 'Ram is the world's strongest genius illusionist.' "So-so."

Then, Senju added something to the ball of light, forging it into a stronger concept before putting it away. "Well then, see you later, Bu!"

As he spoke, Senju descended and returned to his body, but then he was dumbfounded. This seemed to be a bathroom, and two maids were bathing him! Hey, hey, hey, hey!

However, the two maids beside her didn't have any strange thoughts. They were just cleaning the body. When they saw Senju open his eyes, they were stunned for a moment, and then their faces turned red. "Sen, Lord Senju, you're back so soon?"

"Ahem, I'm back." Senju coughed awkwardly, but looking at herself, she realized she hadn't exposed herself; she was still wearing a towel around her lower body. Ram and Rem next to her were also wearing towels, but the atmosphere was still a bit awkward.

Then the three of them fell silent. After a while, the two of them quietly started rubbing Senju's back, as if nothing had happened. Senju was enjoying their service.

"We'll take our leave now," the two said after a while, then stood up, bowed, and left. After closing the bathroom door, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Senju, however, was a little disappointed and continued to soak in the bath.

Chapter 1228 Divine Might Like a Prison

The night passed uneventfully. The next day, when Senju woke up, he went to the competition arena. There were still quite a few people watching the competition, but the empty space inside had been replaced by ordinary horse-drawn carriages that were moving slowly. It seemed that it would take a long time to complete this game.

However, Senju didn't give the prepared gifts to Ram and Rem for the time being. She felt that it would be strange to give them gifts immediately after what happened last night. She decided to wait a few days.

However, after a few days here, Senju started to get bored. It seemed like the game with Blank and the others would take a long time to complete. They were only at sixty-eight squares, and at the current pace, plus the unexpected events that had occurred along the way, it would take them another ten days or even a month to finish.

"Ah, it's so slow," this wasn't Senju complaining, but rather the other participants. They had originally hoped for a thrilling competition, but after waiting for several days, it still hadn't started, and they were getting a little discouraged.

Senju looked at the group of people complaining to him and had no choice but to let them go back for the time being. Actually, he was also feeling a bit bored. It had been too long, and it wasn't a game he was going to participate in. Watching from the outside was quite uninteresting.

Then the maid band prepared to go back. They had performed all the programs they had prepared over the past few days, and they couldn't keep repeating the same thing. So they went back to prepare new programs.

However, while Senju was hesitating whether to leave or stay, they received a plea for help from the Osander branch of the Axis Cult. Aqua had been taken from them by vampires and was now imprisoned. Fortunately, Aqua was a divine being, so the vampires couldn't drink her blood. However, they were now having Aqua purify the sea creatures that had been drained of blood, thus achieving the recycling of the sea creatures.

"..." Looking at the distress message, Senju was speechless for a moment. Aqua had been fooled so quickly. But Senju didn't care. Anyway, with Aqua's intelligence, she would be fooled sooner or later.

However, Senju had a share of Aqua's faith here, so he had to make a trip. Senju originally wanted to summon Sato Kazuma's squad, but they were not suitable for underwater activities at all!

"Ram, Rem, you two go back to the castle first," Senju decided to return after resolving this matter. He then handed two orbs of light to the two of them. "Oh, and here, these are for you. See how many you can fuse."

"Lord Senju?" Ram and Rem were puzzled for a moment, then learned of Senju's plan through their mental connection. After bowing, they returned to their original world.

Looking around at everyone, Thousand Hands shook his head, snapped his fingers, and an option lit up in the minds of everyone he had brought: they could return to their original world through this. Then, Thousand Hands instantly teleported to the seabed.

"So clear~" Senju sighed as she looked at the flowing water of Osende, then started looking for Aqua. But after only a few steps, she saw a vampire girl lying on the roadside. "Hmm?"

Take a closer look at the whole of Ausende

Senju realized that the vampires on this side were almost wiped out. Then Senju understood what had happened. She saw a vampire girl bite the neck of a sea creature, but the blood that came out of the wound turned into water as soon as it left the wound. The vampire who drank the water collapsed weakly, while the sea creature next to it swam away happily, and the wound on its neck healed immediately.

"Purification ability, holy water, really..." Looking at the scene here, Senju shook her head slightly. Although the vampires had set up a waterless zone on the seabed, the sea creatures were unwilling to go in. Anyway, they didn't really want to be sucked blood. The only way to suck blood was to come out. As a result, under the influence of Aqua's divine power, all the bodily fluids that flowed out of their bodies turned into clear water.

Seeing that it wouldn't take long for the vampires here to be wiped out, Senju shook his head helplessly. Bu's idea was good, but unfortunately, his family members were courting death. Looking at the happy sea creatures around him and the vampires lying on the road, Senju could only say that they had brought this upon themselves.

Following her senses, Senju found a solitary building with a long line of marine creatures outside. Inside, Aqua's voice rang out, "Alright, purification OK, next!"

Looking inside, Senju was even more speechless. Inside was Aqua, sitting on a seashell chair. She was idly munching on some kind of fruit with one hand, while the other hand was pressed against the head of a sea creature. She said impatiently, "Purify, okay, next!"

With her divine power, the ocean became even clearer, and the water spirits in the ocean moved closer to Aqua. Seeing the gradually worshipful gazes of the surrounding sea creatures, Senju was somewhat speechless. Aqua was already a super beauty regardless of her intelligence, and now with the blessing of the water spirits, she was even more extraordinary.

It seems that soon this place will completely submit to her, but by then there will be no more vampires, only improved versions of vampires. However, Aqua, who loves exorcising demons, will continue to chase after them!

"That's really funny," Thousand Hands shook his head slightly, then teleported to the Church of Axis and told the people of the Church of Axis about the situation, letting them make their own choice.

However, they still wanted to rescue the goddess, but they were unable to resist the vampires' illusions and could only ask the Thousand Hands for help. They were also worried that the vampires, knowing the truth, would harm the goddess.

“Troublesome. If it weren’t for the profit sharing, I wouldn’t want to get involved at all,” Senju shook her head and continued to ask who had lied to Aqua, and then learned that it was a vampire girl named Oriko.

After she tricked Aqua, she made the sea creatures exchange various specialties for the chance to be purified. Then she used these specialties to improve the overall strength of the vampires. So, behind her is the machinations of the entire vampire race. If you want to play games with her, you will have to face the backlash of the entire vampire race.

"Really..." Senju didn't know how to complain. The plan was supposed to strengthen the vampires, but in the end, it destroyed them? Although even if they did nothing, Aqua would eventually passively purify the ocean, but will the seawater turning into freshwater affect marine species? Is Aqua now considered an invasive species?

With all sorts of strange thoughts running through her mind, Senju quickly found Oriko's location following the guidance of the Axis cultists. However, this girl who controlled the gods seemed to be on her deathbed. Several sea creatures were wandering around her shop, but after seeing that no one was serving them, they took a few items and left happily. The whole scene left Senju speechless and bewildered.

Chapter 1229 Playing Chess and Temporary Departure

After explaining their purpose, the negotiations did not go smoothly. Although the girl looked like she was on her deathbed, she insisted that Senju solve the strange disease that had infected the entire vampire race before they would release Aqua. However, in Senju's opinion, once Aqua was released, the vampire race's situation would immediately improve!

"Hehe," Senju rolled his eyes. "I'm not in a hurry. And don't worry, even if all the vampires here are wiped out, Bu can create a new vampire race!"

"What did you say?!" Orico leaned on the counter made of seashells, staring intently at Senju. Senju shrugged slightly. "Before coming here, I made a trade with Bu. He won't be a vampire for long. Hopefully, by then, there will still be vampires in other places!"

"You!" Oleksandr glared at Senju with hatred. Senju shrugged. "Don't look at me like that. He judged that it was something very advantageous for vampires."

"How exactly can we solve our strange illness?" After a long silence, Oleksandr looked up at Senju, who shrugged. "As long as you free Aqua, I will help you solve the problem, I guarantee it in the name of God!"

"But..."

“You don’t want to lose your last man, right? Then hand over my friend, and I can help you solve your problem.”

"Aren't you afraid I'll threaten you with ownership?" Oleksandr said. Thousand Hands shrugged, and a tremendous pressure fell on her. "Don't worry, if you kill her, at worst I'll just wipe out the vampire race. It's a small matter for me. You can't withstand the wrath of the gods!"

“Yes, I understand. Then, swear an oath to the covenant.” After the two finished swearing, Orico released her from Aqua’s control, while Senju went to coax Aqua, making her…

She withdrew her supernatural powers and returned to her original place. This place was really not suitable for her to live in. Whether in the sea or on land, once Aqua's true identity was revealed, she could easily be deceived!

With Aqua returning wrapped in divine essence, everything here finally returned to normal. The vampires first drank their fill of blood, then teamed up to teach this troublesome child, Bu, a lesson, so that he would behave himself as a vampire and help the race multiply.

When Thousand Hands burst out of the sea, he saw that the flower ship of the forest elves had already arrived in the capital of Elzia, but he didn't care. After flying to the top of the chess piece where Tetu was, he saw that the other party was lying on the table, twisting and turning and writing something.

"Ah, it's Senju. What's up?" Tet looked at Senju curiously. Senju shrugged. "Well, the game we're playing right now is going on for too long. I'm going back for now."

"I see. It was really exciting." Tetu shook his head, then looked at Senju with a puzzled expression. "But even if Blank doesn't have time, there are other people. Organizing a game would be a good option."

“Well,” Senju shook his head slightly, “What you said makes a lot of sense, but the other side’s scale is too big. The venue I prepared has become their live broadcast room. It’s getting a bit boring to continue. I’d better go back for now.”

"Sigh, what a waste," Tetu said with a smile, looking at Senju, but Senju remained unmoved. Finally, Tetu sighed, "Looks like there's no other way. Hey, Senju, wanna play a game?"

As she spoke, a chess set appeared on the table. Senju shook her head slightly. "You know I'm not good at this, but I'll play a game with you anyway."

Senju played his chess pieces casually, moving quickly, but Tetto was deep in thought, though he was also talking at the same time, "Hey, Senju, what exactly is this so-called 'small garden'?"

“Well, it’s somewhat similar to this place, but there are also many different game areas,” Senju explained slowly, moving a chess piece at random. “You’ll find out when you go there.”

"Is that so? This sounds quite interesting," Tetto nodded after hearing Senju's explanation. "General!"

"Luck boost, lucky charm, I promised to win the sword, but it didn't work at all," Senju shrugged, looking at the result on the chessboard, and then took out a golden letter. "When you want to go over there, just open this letter and you can go there."

“I see, thank you. I’ll go there to visit sometime soon,” Tetu put the letter away and then looked at Thousand Hands with a smile. “Actually, your amulet is very useful. It made several brilliant moves. Otherwise, I would have already checkmated you.”
