Offer blocks to the end times

This time, the lineup is even more impressive, led by the Third Hokage and Gildarts, followed by a group of very strong individuals. Senju couldn't help but marvel at Fairy Tail's strength.

Their eyes narrowed when they saw the terrain. "When did a base like this appear here?"

"They've all fallen into this trap?" The Third Hokage narrowed his eyes, then his body rapidly grew larger. "Let me see what's inside!"

"Oops~" Looking at the Third Hokage who had grown to the size of a small mountain, Senju shook his head helplessly. If this thing crashed into him, it would hit the airship. Then, Senju steered the airship into the air, which revealed their location. Everyone who had been looking at the ground looked up.

"A magic-powered ship?! It's that big?"

"Get down here!" The Third Hokage stretched out his hands, which were dozens of meters long, trying to grab the airship, but this action was like a child trying to grab the bottom of a boat. The airship easily took off, but people still jumped over here. Gildarts jumped up in one go, but he landed at the stern, where there was no one.

Just as he was about to do something, he felt a powerful repulsive force from the ship's hull that propelled him away. He landed on the ground, exchanged a glance with the Third Generation in the air, and the two of them launched a simultaneous attack on the airship: "Giant's Fist/Exorcising Evil and Revealing Righteousness - One Day!"

"Bang!" Two large holes were punched in the airship beneath Senju's feet. Feeling the tremors around him, Senju shook his head helplessly. As expected, the ship was too big. He snapped his fingers in exasperation, and the huge airship rapidly shrank, shrinking from two thousand meters to twenty meters in length before plunging into the ground and disappearing.

"..." Everyone who witnessed this was speechless. What just happened?! It wasn't magic at all! However, the gigantic old man turned his head and said, "Did you think you could escape like that? How naive!"

He pulled on the above-ground structure, intending to lift up the underground structure. Thousand Hands, watching from below, couldn't help but shake his head. This old man and Allen must have a lot in common, but trying to lift up the structure by brute force was just a pipe dream. In an instant, the physical properties of the structure above changed.

The old man gripping the wall realized he had grabbed a piece of highly elastic adhesive. It was quite long, but the building below didn't appear. When he tried to let go, he found his hands and feet were stuck.

Gildarts, standing nearby, also tried slamming his fist into the ground. His fist, which could have shattered a mountain, only created ripples when it landed. Instead, the people next to him were sent flying.

Chapter 1655 Releasing Water

Watching the two's actions, the Thousand Hands below didn't know what to say. Weren't they afraid of collapsing the underground structure and killing everyone below? But now, the people training inside don't need to train anymore.

When Senju flipped the box over, the people inside felt as if the world had turned upside down. Then they fell into the 'sky' and landed on the ground outside.

"Bang bang bang~" A series of sounds rang out as a group of people fell to the ground, bounced up, and then landed again. The others looked at their companions who had fallen from the sky with confusion. They looked like they had been surviving in the wild for several months, their clothes were tattered, and their hair was a mess. "Natsu, Erza, are you alright?!"

"Of course I'm fine!" Natsu tried to get up from the ground, but he jumped up, reaching a height of seven or eight meters, startling everyone around him. However, Natsu was very happy. "I feel so light! I feel like I can fly!"

There, flapping his arms vigorously, Natsu looked like he was about to take off. In fact, with the help of some flames, he actually flew in the air for a while. "I'm so awesome, Happy, I can fly too."

"But I still can't keep up with their speed," Happy was also flying around in the sky, feeling that he was dozens of times faster than before. The others also showed unusual performances, jumping higher, stronger, and faster than before. The people around were surprised and then asked, only to find out that they had been training for several months.

"Could it be that the other party has good intentions?" someone couldn't help but say. It wasn't stupidity; it was just that these people, especially Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel, had increased their power too much. Their physical abilities had improved by far too much. When they challenged Gildarts, they were only knocked back a few dozen meters. Originally, they should have been knocked away and disappeared from sight.

"Whether it's out of good intentions or malice, we have to rescue Lucy and Levy first!" Natsu rubbed his hands together, eager to get started, and rushed towards the cave entrance. "This time, I won't lose to that woman!"

"Wait, Natsu!" Erza followed, and then a bunch of people went in. Senju, watching from below, was speechless. This number of people was a bit troublesome. However, in the original story, it was always many against many, and each member of Fairy Tail had their own enemies.

"Should we continue?" Lucy asked hesitantly, looking at the situation on the screen. Then she looked at Senju, "This matter should be fine as long as we talk to the Chairman properly. Besides, committing crimes is wrong..."

“Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense,” Senju nodded, and Lucy looked delighted. “Then…”

"But I refuse!" Senju knew what Lucy was going to say, but she wasn't going to go to jail. She'd finally managed to create an independent clone; why waste her time going to jail?! Shaking her head, Senju drew her Time-Slaying Sword, glanced at the two of them, and Lucy immediately stepped in front of Levy. "Senju, don't be impulsive. There's always a way to solve this."

"I won't be impulsive," Senju rolled his eyes and sheathed his sword. Although the two were beautiful, Senju really didn't care. In the end, he was just playing around here. He could easily retreat now and leave them confused. He would put on a show later and make Elsa lose.

However, a group of people had already rushed to the third floor and were facing Erza. Then Natsu jumped out and shouted, "Don't make a move! This time, the enemy is mine!"

"Didn't expect that, did you? I'm out now."

"Hey, let's have another round!" Natsu shouted arrogantly. Erza shook her head helplessly. Did he really think she had used her full strength before? "You're a hot-blooded boy, aren't you? I don't dislike you. So, let's have another round. Defeat me, and you can go to the next level. That guy down there is no simple matter; he's a big one."

With a mechanical sound, Erza donned red armor again, and a dropper-shaped spear appeared in her hand. Natsu was dumbfounded. "You weren't like this last time we fought!"

But then he saw the other party charging straight at him, the strange spear thrusting towards him. Flames instantly erupted from his hand as he grabbed the spear. "I can see it now! Melt! Ha!!!"

Natsu's flames suddenly intensified, attempting to melt the spear. However, Erza twisted her hand, and the dropper spear glowed, then began absorbing magic power. Originally, this was supposed to be a blood-draining technique, but Senju found it too troublesome and directly changed it to absorb magic power. Moreover, unlike Natsu, who was wielding the spear with both hands, Erza had one hand free. "Absolute Cold Wave!"

"Nani?!" Natsu exclaimed, then spat out a pillar of fire. But he immediately realized that his flames were being absorbed by the spear. He was caught off guard and was then hit in the face by a wave of cold air. However, this time it didn't freeze him, but only sent him flying.

Then Erza thrust her spear, imbued with fiery magic, forward, unleashing a blast of flame that sent Natsu flying again, embedding him in the wall. Pointing her spear, she asked, "Who's next?"

"Damn it! I haven't lost yet!" Natsu struggled off the wall. After half a year of hellish training, he was actually defeated in one fell swoop. This made him very unwilling. Lightning and flames rose from his body. "Take this! Dragon Slayer Secret Technique: Crimson Lightning Blade!"

"Unclean Shock Shield!" Erza unleashed her ultimate attack, the light wave and the flame blade colliding and exploding in a massive explosion. Meanwhile, Natsu broke through the flames, shouting, "Thunder Flame Dragon's Iron Strike!"

"What?!" Erza, looking 'shocked,' was hit, but Natsu's attack struck the armor. The piece of equipment that had once withstood Erza's attacks made a 'crack' sound and then shattered into pieces.

Elsa wasn't hurt, though. Looking at the fiery fist that had 'hit' her stomach, Elsa froze for two seconds before letting out a cry and flying backward, crashing into the wall. "Wow, what a powerful punch!"

"..." Everyone around who witnessed this scene was speechless. Seriously, was this some kind of joke? Natsu was also speechless. He had clearly planned to shatter the armor and then finish the fight with his other hand. What was going on?! Why couldn't he move suddenly?!

"You, you're really amazing! You actually managed to defeat me!" Elsa, who had been holding back completely because Senju found it troublesome, weakly raised her hand, and her body began to slowly turn to ash. "No, but the people below aren't as easy to deal with as I am!"

Chapter 1656 Bullying

"That lady...?" Lucy asked, a pang of sympathy in her eyes as she watched Erza slowly turn to gray in the image. She hadn't noticed anything amiss before, but now she was worried about Erza turning to ash. Senju shook his head, and a spatial passage opened beside him. Erza stepped out from it. "Lord Senju, I've completed my mission. What's next?"

"Go outside and have some fun, and gather information about Mikoto and Kuroko while you're at it," Senju waved casually. Elsa agreed and left. Lucy, standing nearby, looked somewhat speechless. "So, she's alright!"

"Well, of course it's fine," Senju shook his head helplessly. Lucy always overthinks things. "Erza probably used about 10% of her power, but Natsu is still pretty good."

"..." Lucy and Levy were speechless. So, it turned out that Natsu and the others hadn't trained enough. If they trained for another six months or so, there shouldn't be many problems, right? But, only one-tenth of their strength... the world is really dangerous.

However, those on the third floor noticed that the area was shaking violently, as if it were about to collapse. "Everyone, get out of here quickly!"

However, before they could run two steps, the shaking stopped, revealing a large hole in the ground, tens of meters in diameter. The group stopped and wondered, "So this is the fourth level? I wonder who's down there."

"I hope it wasn't that woman," Natsu said, though his expression was puzzled. Had he really defeated that woman? After thinking for a while, unable to figure it out, he put the matter out of his mind. He figured it was probably because he had become stronger through training!

"Probably not," Gray said uncertainly. After all, that woman had resurrected several times. But then, a roar came from below, followed by a five- or six-meter-long hand suddenly grabbing the edge of the hole, and then a gigantic head popped out. "A giant?!"

Everyone was surprised, but since the Third Hokage also possessed giantification magic, they were just surprised that there was someone similar here. However, the one below was actually climbing up! Then, Gajeel, who hadn't had a chance to make a move yet, raised his hand, and a huge iron hammer appeared. He then swung the hammer down on the giant's head, smashing it open, and the giant fell down.

"..." The surrounding people were once again stunned. Was Gajeel too strong, or were the Titans too weak?! But then...

They had no time to think, because three five-meter-tall, mindless giants suddenly jumped out and ran towards them in strange postures. Originally, these giants could not interact without sunlight, but the Thousand Hands had changed them to be driven by magic.

The group of people who witnessed all this immediately used various spells and found that they had easily 'killed' the giants. However, the giants that had been decapitated/cut in half/severed limbs then released a large amount of steam and instantly regenerated. The group was shocked. Then, they used even stronger spells to completely annihilate the giants.

But with the roars from below, another group of giants crawled out, were then set on fire by Natsu, and finally collapsed with a roar. Then, the group looked at each other and charged into the passage.

After defeating numerous inferior giants, they arrived at the fourth level, where they discovered a vast underground space with a huge underground lake on one side. But where was the guardian?

"What, what is that?!" Elfman, who had blown the heads off several giants, suddenly pointed to one side and shouted. Everyone immediately looked in that direction. In the dimly lit underground space, there seemed to be a figure there, but it was quite tall, about seventy or eighty meters.

"Probably a pillar or something," Natsu said casually, throwing a fireball in that direction, illuminating a large area around them. In the distance was a lake. Then everyone fell silent. That... it seemed to be a giant.

"That...could it be the gatekeeper?" The crowd chuckled awkwardly; even dragons weren't that big! Then, they saw the giant move, and the ground around them began to tremble slightly, followed by a violent shaking. The giant was running towards them, "Roar~"

"Frozen Earth!" Gray slammed his fist on the ground, and the lake water there quickly froze, freezing the giant for a moment. However, the giant then broke free of the ice and ran towards them on the ice. The Third Hokage, who was watching, stepped forward and said, "You all, back off!"

He grew rapidly, eventually reaching a height of fifty or sixty meters. Then the two giants swung together, causing a violent shaking around them. Several people sat down on the ground, and the stones above them began to fall down with a crash, as if the place was about to collapse. In fact, if it weren't for the reinforcement of spatial magic, it would have collapsed long ago!

Natsu and the others panicked, feeling that their sacrifice would be in vain if things continued like this. The group quickly ran upwards, while Senju below frowned. If they kept fighting like this, they might actually break through the ground, which would be troublesome. Well, although the thickness between the fourth and fifth layers was also around 100 meters, there was no guarantee that something wouldn't go wrong.

After thinking for a moment, Senju made a few hand gestures and used Earth Release to shift the space over there by several hundred meters. As a result, the people running upwards found that the exit had disappeared. Well, this didn't stump them. A group of mages dug a path there.

However, Allen was quickly killed by the Third Hokage. Although he was taller, the Third Hokage was not a warrior but a mage. With a few spells, Allen was cut into dozens of pieces. Well, this was not a fatal injury, but it was unfair to the people he had arranged to protect him, as the Third Hokage and Gildarts were escorting him.

Senju originally planned to play one-on-one, clearing each level one by one, but who knew they would all come rushing over at once? Although that was the right choice, it disrupted Senju's plan, and he was starting to lose interest in playing.

“Lucy, Levy, let me take you home. There are so many people, I suddenly don’t want to play anymore,” Senju said, glancing at the two beside her. They seemed a little speechless, their expressions saying, ‘We didn’t want to play in the first place, you dragged us here!’ Levy then breathed a sigh of relief, but Lucy suddenly remembered something and looked at Senju with a bright smile, “Um, Senju-sama, about the commission…”

"Uh..." Senju was speechless for a moment, looking into Lucy's eyes, which had already turned into a money-grubbing symbol. "Ahem, I think some things can still continue. It's just a few people, watch me throw them out!"

"Uh..." So, to Lucy and Levy's speechless looks, Senju threw most of the people out, leaving only five: Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Wendy, and Erza.

Chapter 1657 An Unexpected Occurrence

"Are we still going to play this game?" Lucy slumped weakly on the table. Senju lectured her earnestly, "This is to train them. The original plan was good, but some things went wrong. But Lucy, you should study magic well and not waste this opportunity."

“That’s true,” Levy nodded repeatedly. There were many interesting and useful books here, and she didn’t want to leave yet. But as she said this, she yawned, and Senju realized that it was already evening.

"It's already this late, I'm going to rest," Senju yawned and went to sleep. He also instructed Allen not to kill anyone, and of course, he didn't want to be killed himself. To prevent the people above from causing trouble, he erased the first three layers and closed up the mountain. Now, the fourth layer is hundreds of meters underground.

After falling asleep, Senju was unaware of the great battle between the five below and Eren. The group discovered that neither fire nor ice, nor swords nor clubs could defeat the enemy. However, the Titan was relatively slow, so they were able to dodge its attacks.

The group that had been evacuated exchanged glances and then rushed back into the tomb, but it was already a mountain, and Thousand Hands couldn't even...

Gildarts set up defenses, but he smashed the mountain into pieces with a single punch. Then he searched for a passage, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find one. So he started bombarding the ground, and Senju could feel the tremors.

"Tsk, the underground is too unsafe," Senju shook his head, sensing that the fourth floor had already collapsed and the people inside were dodging in all directions. The fifth floor, however, had held on thanks to Esdeath's freezing. But it seemed that his plan as the mastermind had completely failed.

With a slight clap of his hands, several guardians appeared on Senju's underground airship. The five people were also thrown out by Senju, and then the lower levels turned into cards that fell into Senju's hands. The airship appeared in the air.

"You guys are really something, actually destroying my base!" Thousand Hands projected a huge face and roared at them. Gildarts on the other side had just thrown a rock, but the rock flew hundreds of meters high and had no effect on Thousand Hands, since the Thousand Hands outside was just an illusion.

"Give Lucy and Levy back!" Natsu, his entire body blazing with fire, shouted a perfectly legitimate demand. Senju scratched his head speechlessly. So, it turned out like this again? Or should he take matters into his own hands? This was a bit too much of a bullying move.

"Arrogant grunts, Senju, you haven't even let me have my fun yet. It's almost my turn, and you're already letting me deal with them," Esdeath said, looking at the screen. Well, although Senju doesn't have Teigu, they can synthesize Devil Fruits. Esdeath is now a super Devil Fruit user.

"Forget it, one-on-one, or even one-on-three, is fine, but those down below don't seem like they want one-on-one," Senju said, looking at the angry group below. She felt they weren't so easy to talk to. But Esdeath wasn't stupid either. She hugged Lucy and licked her cheek. "We still have this little girl, don't we? If it's not one-on-one, we'll kill her!"

"Eek~" Lucy shivered. The Celestial Spirits beside her rushed to her rescue, but they were all frozen and then disappeared. Lucy shouted, "Wait, stop! I'm not doing this mission anymore, and I don't want the commission either. Let us leave!"

“That won’t do, little girls, you’re just bait,” Esdeath said with a smile, while Senju shook his head helplessly. “You’re too villainous.”

"No matter what, I'm going to fight!" Esdeath walked out, but at that moment, Senju felt that new characters had arrived. Could it be that all the Fairy Tail members had come? But looking at the screen, Senju was puzzled. A giant octopus with horns? Moving on land, the magical world is truly amazing. Even octopuses can be used as mounts. Then, several people jumped off the octopus.

"It's you! What are you doing here?!" The Fairy Tail members on the ground seemed surprised by the newcomers, but they immediately attacked them. Senju was puzzled. Were these his reinforcements? But he didn't need them! Moreover, he sensed that Esdeath had jumped off the airship. No, not exactly jumped off; she was floating in the air.

"Super Ice Ball!" With a shout, a giant ice ball with a diameter of two hundred meters appeared in the air. Esdeath grinned and threw the ice ball down. However, this extremely powerful attack was still too weak for a mage. Someone below attacked, and the ice ball turned into powder. Esdeath, who was laughing wildly, was stunned for a moment, and then became even more delighted. She rushed down, shouting, "Ice Age!"

In an instant, the earth froze, but then most of the people below broke free from the ice. Senju shook his head helplessly. Esdeath's power level was too low. However, even if the original Esdeath came, she wouldn't be a match for these people.

"Lucy, do you know those people?" Senju asked, pointing to the few people who had just appeared on the screen. Lucy shook her head at first, but then became extremely surprised. "Coco?! Why is she here? No, could it be our Coco?"

"?" Senju was puzzled for a moment, then Lucy quickly explained, and Senju remembered that there was a parallel world here, and the people in the parallel world had many things in common with the people here. The 'Coco' that Lucy mentioned was the little girl running very fast below. This little girl was Lucy's good friend in the parallel world.

"I see," Senju vaguely remembered that there was such a thing. There was indeed a little girl like that in that parallel world, and there was also an old octopus man who stole the key or something. Could it be this octopus?

However, this fast-running little girl has met her match. Gajeel and the black cat Lili have caught up with her and are chatting with her. Coco runs even faster when she sees the two strangers, but the two, trained in a strong gravity environment, have already caught up with Coco's speed.

Natsu was also fighting there with something, or rather, a clump of something. It was a special slime that could absorb magic power to grow, and it seemed to be a mage's pet. Unfortunately, Natsu had also become much stronger and was attacking the slime directly, but it was to no avail.

Gildarts has actually met his match, a disheveled old man who is engaging Gildarts in close combat. Senju was initially surprised, but then she understood. The disheveled old man's magic can transfer Gildarts's power to an object nearby. That's quite a trick.

Chapter 1658 Failed One-on-One Duel

There was also a woman with bright purple and white hair with other people.

In the battle, she looked somewhat like an evil spirit, but this woman seemed to be able to control people; the people around her were completely manipulated by her.

As for Esdeath, who descended from the sky, she didn't make any special selection. Countless ice spears rained down as she unleashed an area-of-effect attack. The group below immediately scattered, and she stood in the middle. The Fairy Tail members looked at the four people on the other side and asked, "Who are you? What is your purpose?!"

"Hand over Lucy Heartfeltrea!" the dejected middle-aged man fighting Gildarts shouted. The Fairy Tail members were speechless. They were still trying to rescue Lucy, and now the next wave of people coming to take her was already here? What kind of treasure is Lucy?!

"Why me?" Lucy exclaimed in surprise, puzzled. So, was there something special about her? Was everyone vying for her? Was she the female lead? She was right!

"Probably for your key," Senju casually remarked. "It seems like if the Twelve Zodiac Signs are hiding a big secret, like going back in time or the destruction of the world, they're here to steal it."

“No, we can’t give them this!” Lucy said firmly. Levy was also surprised. “Could it really be because of… who are those people?”
