Offer blocks to the end times

"The Dragon King's Sigh!" Because it was a new move, Senju just randomly chose a name and pronounced it in the local language. The players in front, though not fully understanding, immediately moved aside upon hearing the unfamiliar voice behind them. Then they saw a misty beam of light strike the girl.

on.

Ariel naturally put up a defense as well. A magic shield and a gray pillar of light clashed for a while before disappearing. Then, Ariel was pierced through by the pillar of light, and her health dropped by more than 10,000.

Chapter 1243 Escape

"Looks like I'm still a bit short. Let's use this skill," Thousand Hands shook his head, his aura rapidly increasing and his level rising at breakneck speed. However, this wasn't a 'borrowing'; rather, he was drawing experience from monsters within the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Now that he was closer to this place, he could finally use this skill.

The surrounding players' expressions changed as they noticed a blue light emanating from their bodies. This thing looked familiar! Wasn't this the experience they'd painstakingly collected here?! Their levels, which had finally broken through 100, had dropped again. "It's an item like Greed and Desirelessness! Everyone be careful!"

The players immediately ran outside, but were blocked by the barrier. However, they were also prepared for the skill that drained their experience. The group instantly returned to the Great Tomb, and then layers of protective magic were placed on the outside.

Unfortunately, this is useless, since Senju got this privilege from them. Even if the door is locked tight, Senju, who has the key, isn't afraid.

As their experience points rapidly decreased, Senju's level rose rapidly. By the time Ainz and the others had dropped to level 50, Senju had reached level 150, and his attributes had skyrocketed to 150,000.

"Nuclear Explosion!" Senju unleashed a small fireball, an attack condensed from 100,000 units of his magic power, with an attack force of approximately two million. The surrounding space was instantly shattered by the fire. Ariel, on the other side, also sensed a potentially fatal threat and immediately unleashed a barrage of spells. The two sides then collided, creating a mushroom cloud that blasted away 50,000 of Senju's health.

But looking at the other side, Ariel had disappeared, though not killed in the explosion; she simply vanished suddenly. "Is this... spatial teleportation? Or is she hiding? Oh well, never mind."

"Huh? What just happened?!" Rimuru asked in surprise. Senju didn't say anything, but walked towards the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Although only three levels were above ground, the entrance was in the air. But it didn't matter, he had the Magic Ladder skill. As he walked, he frantically devoured items in the space to restore his health and mana.

There, Momonga, holding the guild staff, stood guard at the entrance with a group of players and NPCs, watching Senju. Looking at their heroic appearance, one might mistake Senju for the villains. However, judging from their looks, they were the real villains!

Senju shook his head, and a light screen appeared in front of him. With a series of operations by Senju, the protective barrier of the Great Tomb of Nazarick suddenly collapsed. Those people also felt the change in their surroundings, and their expressions changed drastically. "What happened? How did the barrier break? Could it be the attack just now?!"

"Don't panic! We still have our trump card!" Momonga waved his hand. "Besides, we have no reason to be enemies with a Dragon King!"

Senju glanced over and was surprised to find that Ainz had recovered to level 100. However, since Ainz was wearing a helmet, it was impossible to tell. He stood calmly in the air, gun in hand, staring at Ainz and the others. "Release all the imprisoned humans and surrender!"

The surrounding players fell silent. Momonga stepped forward. "We don't have the human you're looking for here. Please go back!"

“Is that so, Momonga?” Senju’s mask slowly tightened. “Actually, I’m quite disappointed in you. You’ve all completely fallen apart in just a few years. It seems we need to cleanse you up.”

"Sen... Lord Senju?!" The surrounding players were startled. They remembered this super boss! But why was he here now?!

Thousand Hands slowly raised his gun, aiming it at the great tomb. "Hand over the humans you enslave, or do you all want to die here?!"

"What...what are you saying?!" Momonga said in a flustered manner. "Although there are human servants in Nazarick, we absolutely do not enslave them. However, if it is your will, I will drive them out!"

"Hmph, still stubbornly holding on, huh?" A shimmering ball of light slowly coalesced at the tip of Senju's spear, preparing to slice open the Great Tomb. Demiurge had just taken a step when Ainz Ooal Gown tapped the ground with his staff. "I agree!"

But his words didn't seem to be directed at Senju. Then, right in front of Senju, the entire Great Tomb suddenly vanished, and Senju, who had swung his spear downwards, merely sliced ​​a canyon tens of thousands of meters deep into the earth. "Ah, they got away. But who helped them?"

Thousand Hands frowned as he looked at the light screen in front of him. It had begun to change color and disappear. Clearly, someone was interfering from the outside. Thousand Hands knew that there was only one person here who could do this, and that was the so-called evil god D.

Most importantly, Senju sensed that this world was sealed off, preventing the entry and exit of consciousness. Unfortunately, the world management system here was too flawed. Trying to seal off this world was simply wishful thinking. Even Senju himself could not completely seal off his own world, let alone this world with its loopholes.

"D, I know you're watching. Hand them over, or I'll destroy this planet," Senju said calmly, standing in the air.

As he spoke, a black sphere condensed at the tip of his spear, but no one appeared around him. Instead, a crow flew overhead, cawing as it flew by. Senju was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead. Was this a sign of being underestimated?

"Hmph, I've already given you face. Since that's the case," Senju slowly landed on the ground, his petrification spear plunging directly into the earth. However, the black sphere didn't explode; instead, it transformed into a phantom and spread across the entire planet. "Dispel!"

As the phantom spread, many people found that the panel in their minds had disappeared. The monsters were also in an uproar. They felt that they had lost a lot, but they did not understand what they had lost. Only those monsters that had developed intelligence knew that the panel that had helped guide their evolution had disappeared!

Ultimately, the panels in the minds of the beings in this world weren't originally there; they were just rules added by the gods to make it easier to manage the world, but unfortunately, they were poorly made.

If we were to use a game as an analogy, Thousand Hands's cubes would control the hardware, like the computer case; Rimuru's Star Grail would be the game's 'body,' the background software; while this is just an auxiliary program, or rather, a simple world-class cheat built with great magic.

However, no matter what, this system doesn't have strong control over it, otherwise Thousand Hands wouldn't be able to cheat so many times.

Chapter 1244 Flipping the Table

"Boom!" A heavy, muffled sound echoed across the world, accelerating the planet's collapse. Then, the space beside it opened up, and a black-armored figure appeared—the same messenger that Senju had seen last time.

"Heh, aren't you coming out now?" Thousand Hands calmly looked at the armored man on the other side, and a white ball of light began to gather in his hand. But the armored man on the other side took out a smartphone, and D's voice came from it, "Stop. If this continues, neither of us will benefit."

"Benefits?" Senju found it somewhat amusing. He was already getting impatient; things that were almost over had taken another turn for the worse, and no one would be happy about that! "Do you think I came here to scheme or something? If they hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have bothered with this world at all. But wrongdoings must be punished, and since I'm here, I won't leave empty-handed!"

"This is my world!" D emphasized. Thousand Hands sneered, "Heh, maybe before I would have thought this was your world, but now I finally understand why you call yourself an evil god. You're not in this world, are you? And as the main god of this world, you can't interfere with it much!"

Senju slapped the ball of light in his hand forward, and a rolling portal appeared. On the other side was a black-haired girl in a Japanese middle school uniform. "You... thought I couldn't find you?"

"This is impossible!" The girl stared in surprise at the empty space in front of her, seemingly not expecting to be exposed. The armored man immediately stepped in front of Senju to prevent him from harming the girl.

"Black, step back," the girl's expression returned to calm, though it didn't look good. Senju released Rimuru as well. "Oh, we meet again, Administrator."

“It’s you, Rimuru,” D recognized the sphere of light as the slime he had teased. He hadn’t expected someone to be backing him. “What are you trying to do?”

"Huh? Didn't you call us here?" Rimuru 'surprised' for a moment. "It was you who gave us the images that made us prepare to capture those bad guys!"

"..." D had a subtle expression on his face. So the good show he had been watching for three or four years had ended up involving him too? If he had known this would happen, he should have sacrificed those monsters earlier, or explained things to Rimuru back then. Of course, it seemed a little too late now.

After all, Senju is no longer just a clone. Now that they're ready to break off all pretense, Senju has begun transferring power into this body. With the added boost from the collapse of this world, he should now be called the 'Destruction Dragon God'.

Rimuru, who was standing nearby, also received the power of the transfer and transformed into a blue slime that floated there. "Miss Administrator, make a decision. Should we fight, or hand over those bad guys?"

“Sigh,” D suddenly sighed, “It’s pointless to talk about this now. The collapse of the world is unstoppable. I was planning to sacrifice those monsters to replenish the world’s energy, but I didn’t expect it to backfire.”

"Heh, you still want to use our energy to replenish the world, don't you?" Thousand Hands said calmly, a thought popping into his mind that he should also collect some world energy to replenish it. D on the other side nodded generously, "That's right, that's what I was thinking. Who told those monsters from your place to cause such chaos in the world? The gap is too big for me to fill!"

Looking at the girl with her shameless demeanor, Senju shrugged. "Don't worry, I didn't destroy the world-class magic you created. I just temporarily dispelled it. Now, it can be restored."

As he spoke, a phantom shrank from the planet into Senju's hand, then transformed into a black sphere, and then into six black spheres that floated behind Senju. "Do they look familiar?"

"..." D stared speechlessly at the Truth-Seeking Ball on the other person's back. "I..."

"Of course I agree to capture those monsters, but my world is in great danger right now; it's going to collapse in less than a year. So, in exchange, I'd like to ask for your help."

“No problem,” Senju nodded, narrowing his eyes as he looked at the world around him. “But why did this place collapse? Could you explain it to me?”

“There’s nothing I can’t say. This world was originally a closed loop,” D shook his head there. “It’s just that a year ago, the Demon King and the Hero were deceived and joined forces to collect most of the energy in this world. Then they used dimensional magic to attack me, which is why this world collapsed.”

"What a mess," Senju rolled her eyes. Are the Demon King and the Hero from the same family? And who deceived two world-class powerhouses? And this world is closed off? That's a joke! If it's closed off, what is she doing here?!

“Of course, I can handle this myself,” D said calmly. “However, three years ago, a group of powerful monsters, the ones you’re looking for, stormed into this world and made their home there. They had items that could change the entire world, so I allowed them to slightly alter some of the laws. It was because of this that the dimensional attack a year ago plunged this world into an irreversible period of collapse. You all know what happened after that.”

"Alright," Senju shook his head slightly in his heart, not asking why she hadn't stopped it beforehand. After all, he was much like this girl, not particularly concerned about his own world. "Aren't you coming over?"

Actually, Senju was also curious about something else: why the girl hadn't come over to them. If she had come over earlier, Ainz and the others would have been on the altar long ago. Don't use the collapse of the world as an excuse. Three years ago, this world hadn't collapsed!

“No need, I’ll just watch from here,” D chuckled dryly. “I don’t want to get involved; I’m just an observer right now.”

“Is that so? Alright then,” Senju nodded. “So, where are Ainz and the others?”

“Here,” D said, a phantom of a planet appeared in his hand, marked with two points: one was the current location of Senju, and the other was the location of Ainz and the others. “However, to hide them properly, I moved them to the ground beneath a prehistoric ruin, which was very dangerous.”

"Is that so? It's alright," Senju rolled her eyes inwardly. "Still acting childish? Typical woman." She waved her hand, and the spatial gate in front of her began to shrink. "I'll dig them out."

"Oh, right, from what I've observed, the one doing those bad things isn't the flying squirrel you mentioned, but someone else entirely," D said with a grin, the hole in front of him now only the size of a coin. "Hopefully you can catch the real culprit!"

Chapter 1245 Underground

"Not Ainz?" Senju frowned. It was a tragedy that happened inside the Great Tomb of Nazarick, yet they said it had nothing to do with Ainz? How could that be? But the other party didn't seem to be lying.

But even if what the other party said is true, Ainz and his team still bear an unshirkable responsibility. They can't just say, "I was completely unaware of it, and it was just some of my subordinates who did it." As the chairman, Ainz has to take responsibility for his subordinates.

However, the world is now in turmoil. Due to the accelerated collapse, various signs have begun to appear on this planet. Senju silently complained in his heart, thinking that he might kill even more people. Then, a huge amount of energy rose from Senju's body and spread throughout the world.

His priority now is to stabilize this world. He just took the position of system administrator from D, and made Senju understand that this 'system' was created by D a long time ago as a tool to draw energy from this world. Because she is actually an evil god, she cannot come here. Like Senju, she is an outsider to this world.

The so-called skills and ability values ​​are simply simplified versions of magic, aided by the system. Only by using magic without assistance can its original power be unleashed.

Thousand Hands himself possesses a great deal of magic, and the external display actually serves as his measuring stick, which is why his attributes are higher than those of monsters of the same level. However, now that he has 'become a god,' Thousand Hands has discovered that this system can no longer affect him, and he has instead gained some administrative authority.

By the way, the armored man next to him is also a system administrator, a dragon, a lower-level god, Griedis Todice. Then, Senju didn't have time to pay attention to him, because a huge energy fluctuation suddenly erupted at a point in this world, which was where Ainz and the others were.

Thousand Hands instantly teleported there and found himself in a vast wilderness. In this wilderness, there was a surge of energy about to become a god—the god of this world, who had broken free from the system's constraints and become an administrator.

"Roar!" A bunch of dragons below roared at Thousand Hands, but Thousand Hands roared back, and the dragons below immediately fled in terror.

"Earthquake!" Thousand Hands stretched out his hand in that direction, and the land over several kilometers rapidly rose. Then Thousand Hands was speechless, because what surged out first were countless ants, each one looking as big as a person. The ground turned black instantly, and countless flying ants flew around wildly.

"Heat up!" Instantly, the temperature there rose to over a thousand degrees Celsius, and all the ants...

The space was burned, and the Thousand Hands continued to lift the earth, revealing a huge metal door.

The technology here is beyond what the humans can build. Thousand Hands continued to lift the earth upwards and discovered that the gate belonged to an underground base, an underground metal structure that clearly did not belong to this world.

However, after careful examination, Thousand Hands discovered that this seemingly futuristic sci-fi base was actually an ancient relic left behind in this world, the troublesome place D mentioned. The technology here was even more advanced than that of the Machine Race, meaning that this base was actually the original style of this world, and the system used by all the creatures in this world now was the invader.

As the base ascended, a massive alarm blared through the sky. Suddenly, the metal gate opened, and a swarm of self-propelled turrets and tanks poured out. Gun barrels also emerged from the walls, unleashing a barrage of energy blasts. "...Has the art style changed?"

"Thunderstorm!" Countless bolts of lightning shot out from Senju's hand. Although a magical shield lit up on the machine, it was quickly pierced by the lightning. Senju was somewhat surprised by this. It felt very similar to the magical artifacts of the goblin race. Both could use magic through machines, but these were more suitable for humans to use. Senju couldn't help but withdraw the lightning from his hand.

"Come out!" Senju pulled the entire base out of the ground, and then he felt the energy inside explode completely. A pillar of fire thousands of meters thick blew off the roof of the base. Senju stood there dumbfounded, "My... my technology! My base!"

But then, a gigantic disc-shaped flying object with a diameter of one kilometer flew out from that enormous pillar of fire. "Uh, a UFO?! What the hell is that?!"

Then an exit opened beneath the flying saucer, and countless fighter jets flew out. Thousand Hands was too lazy to even comment. So, beneath the current fantasy world lies a world of advanced technology!

However, these are all valuable research materials. Who knows how much data might have been left in the self-destructed base? Senju slowly raised his hand, his energy fluctuating violently, "Diffusion Proxy!"

Instantly, the surrounding fighter jets stopped, and then, to Senju's speechless expression, they plummeted to the ground. "Anti-gravity!"

The Thousand Hands, having saved a large number of fighter jets, sent them into their own space. Then, looking at the flying saucer over there, an entrance opened in the sky above it, and all the members of Hell from the Great Tomb of Nazarick appeared there.

At the very front was Flying Squirrel, whose body was surging with enormous energy fluctuations, making him look like a god. The NPCs around him looked on with worship, but the players' 'expressions' seemed rather unpleasant.

"Lord Senju, I know everything that has happened so far," Ainz Ooal Gown said, taking a few steps forward with his guild staff in hand. "If I said I didn't know anything, that would be hypocritical. As the guild leader, I bear responsibility for everything!"

“No, Lord Ainz,” Demiurge stepped forward and knelt on one knee. “This is not your fault. It is my foolish subordinate who has caused this bitter result. If Lord Senju really wants to hold someone accountable, then I will make amends with my life!”

"Step back, Demiurge!" Ainz Ooal Gown slammed his staff down. "As the guild master, it is unforgivable for subordinates to make mistakes. If I had discovered this sooner, all those tragedies wouldn't have happened. I must take responsibility!"

"..." Senju stared speechlessly at this scene of fatherly love and filial piety, no, loyalty to the lord and treachery to the minister? That didn't seem right either, a harmonious union? That seemed even more inappropriate. In short, it was a very touching scene, but Senju looked down at the Great Tomb of Nazarick, which was emanating countless resentful spirits. "So, Ainz, how do you plan to take responsibility? In the past few years, hundreds of thousands of humans, demons, and demi-humans have been slaughtered in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. How do you plan to take responsibility?!"

Chapter 1246 Internal Strife

"Ah, that was indeed a horrific thing," Ainz Ooal Gown said calmly, raising his arm slightly. "But I have no regrets now. It was all for the survival of Nazarick. Let me bear the blame for all the mistakes! After all, in the end, strength is the key to everything. I have no regrets!"

"I don't know what method you used, but it seems like you've improved a lot. Now that you've become a god, are you confident enough to challenge me?" Senju shook his head with a smile, while Ainz nodded. "Yes, only now have I truly broken free from 'YGGDRASIL's' control and entered a completely new world. So I want to do what I've been wanting to do for a long time. Lord Senju, I challenge you. Isn't it only natural that the winner decides everything?!"

“Heh,” a strange smile suddenly appeared on Senju’s face. “Fine, I will limit my power to the same level as yours, but even if I win, the punishment you receive will only be related to the sins you bear, and nothing else.”

“Then it’s settled. If we win,” Ainz Ooal Gown said, shaking his cloak with a confident air, “please, Lord Senju, do not appear before us again. I will also severely punish my subordinates who made mistakes and completely prevent those things from happening again.”

“Then let’s begin,” Senju said calmly, looking at Ainz Ooal Gown, who raised his staff. “Well then, Lord Senju, please forgive my rudeness! Magic…”

Ultimate Enhancement - Immediate Strike!

"Whoosh~" A gust of wind blew by, but nothing else happened. Senju remained motionless, while Ainz stared at his hands in astonishment. "Why? I clearly feel an immense power within my body! Magic Enhancement: Gravity Vortex! Why isn't it coming out! What's going on?!"

The surrounding NPCs and players immediately went on guard. Then, Momonga looked at Senju in the air, "Did you do something? Did you interfere with my skill casting?!"

"No, I didn't do anything," Senju shook his head, looking at the incredulous Momonga. "After all, Momonga, do you even know what magic is? What are the principles behind them? How do you manipulate magic to produce various effects?"
