Offer blocks to the end times

Watching their farce, Senju was talking to Makarov, "Is there anyone the chairman wants to resurrect? Resurrecting someone who just died is the easiest."

"People who just died? Then, can the five people you just killed today be resurrected? If you resurrect them, your crimes will be off," Makarov narrowed his eyes, giving Senju a good way to get away with it. Senju shook his head slightly, "No interest, I won't resurrect them. Or, you can give them the two spots you have. Tell me which one I should resurrect. After all, they are the ones who infiltrated the Fairy Tail guild and beat up the Fairy Tail guild master."

"Ahem, let's not talk about them anymore. We still have two spots left, right?" After coughing twice, Makarov stopped talking about the grunts. Senju nodded and glanced at the withered old man. "That's right. I wonder which two you want to resurrect? But people from your era can't be resurrected in the same way as Uru."

“I understand, I made myself clear. I wonder if people killed by dark magic can be resurrected?” Makarov asked cautiously. Senju shook his head. “It doesn’t matter what killed them. By the way, what is dark magic?”

"..." Makarov was speechless for a moment. He was clearly a powerful figure, yet he didn't even know about dark magic. After thinking for a while, he spoke again, "Zeref Dragneel, the progenitor of dark magic, have you ever heard of him?"

“Zelf? That sounds familiar,” Senju thought for a moment. It seemed that he had appeared in the anime before. Unfortunately, he couldn’t go back to his original world to get the script in his current state, otherwise he would have been assimilated by the original body. He shook his head and used the magic 'Knowledge of Legends' to learn about Zelf.

Four hundred years ago, people were cursed by the Grim Reaper, becoming immortal and indestructible beings. They created many kinds of magic, including the 'R System,' a resurrection spell that allows one life to be exchanged for another. Unfortunately, it's not as convenient as Senju's. In addition, there's the Eclipse Gate. If you collect all twelve Gold Celestial Spirits, you can reverse time. When watching the anime, Senju vaguely remembered something like this.

There are abnormalities in her physical constitution, a contradictory curse. The more she cherishes life, the stronger the dark power becomes, and the easier it is to take the lives of the surrounding creatures. Thousand Hands wanted to complain, is this Thanos? To ensure the safety of the universe, he wiped out half of the life in the universe. It's a completely contradictory existence.

His contributions to this world, or rather, his significant contributions, include: researching the magic of life and death, being cursed by the Grim Reaper; creating demons, and being regarded as the progenitor of black magicians; providing a method for people to become dragons, and destroying the dragon race; and founding the Alvarez Empire.

As for personal relationships, he has a bunch of disciples, but his lover is Mavis. A familiar figure flashed before Senju's eyes. Wasn't that the girl standing on the sea when Tenrou Island was unsealed? Although she was a spirit, his lover still existed.

The younger brother is Natsu. Upon seeing this, Senju had some doubts. Natsu looks very young now, and doesn't seem like someone over 400 years old. Moreover, Zeref's parents died long ago. However, it's normal for the protagonist's identity and background to be related to the most powerful people.

Chapter 1669 The Origin of the World

Then Senju tried to look more closely, but couldn't see clearly anymore. He shook his head, knowing that this was because he was too weak right now. He was still alive, and Zeref would instinctively obscure his information. Moreover, it involved the gods and such beings of that level. The 'secrets of heaven' had been disrupted.

But would researching the magic of life and death be cursed by the Grim Reaper? When Senju resurrected people, he didn't encounter the Grim Reaper. Maybe it's the fault of that R system. It's a pity. With the death laws he read from the Marvel universe, Senju was very confident that he could turn the Grim Reaper here into a new Infinity Stone. Death Stone - Life and Death at Will!

“I know who Zeref is now,” Senju said to the Third Hokage beside him after standing there for a while. “By the way, what were you talking about just now?”

"Uh..." Makarov was speechless again. So all his explanation of Zeref had been for nothing?! But then the other party said he understood, so maybe he hadn't wasted his breath? He didn't know how to start. "It's nothing. Since you know him, that makes things easier. Someone he killed but whose heart was still beating and who had been sealed away for decades, can he be resurrected?"

"Well, it depends on the situation," Senju hesitated. Zeref was very powerful. Judging from what Makarov said, could it be that his soul was completely destroyed? If so, reviving him would be very troublesome. That level of soul-summoning technique is very costly. At this time, we need to transfer the risk. "Other reasons are quite simple, but if the soul is scattered, reviving him is very difficult. We need to create special magical items as sacrifices."

“No, no, no, the soul is fine too,” the Third Hokage shook his head, and Senju looked at him speechlessly. “The heart is still beating, the soul is fine, isn’t that a living person? What’s the point of resurrecting him?!”

"This," the Third Hokage looked like his head was spinning, unsure of what to say. After all, it concerned the guild's biggest secret, and it was precisely because he saw the First Hokage's memory on Tenrou Island that he was thinking about reviving him.

"If it's inconvenient to talk about it, then never mind. I'll be going now," Thousand Hands shook his head, his mind preoccupied with his plan for the 'Infinity Gauntlet'. Now that he had the Time Stone, he still needed five more stones. Of course, they didn't need to follow the same pattern as the Infinity Stones in the Marvel Universe. They just needed to be closely related to the world, like the Death Stone or the Dark Stone.

With a wave of his hand, Senju walked away. Watching Senju leave so decisively, the Third Hokage hesitated, but Lucy suddenly spoke up, "Wait!"

"?" Senju turned to look at her. Lucy's face was full of hesitation. After looking at her, Senju understood. "Do you also have someone you want to resurrect?"

"Hmm," Lucy hesitated, unsure whether she should speak. After all, there were so many people in the guild, and everyone had someone they wanted to resurrect. If she were to resurrect her mother alone, she felt she would be letting down many others. In the end, she shook her head.

"No, it's nothing."

"Do you want to resurrect your mother?" Senju calculated for a moment and understood Lucy's thoughts. Then she calculated that her mother's cause of death was actually exhausting her life force for magic. However, her death was actually the biggest cause and effect point in this world, which was really surprising. Then Senju began to deduce with all her might.

As he chanted his incantation, various magical circles flashed around him, distorting the surrounding spacetime. Then, Senju saw the causal point formed when Lucy's mother died, which was the cause of Natsu's appearance in this world.

400 years ago, in order to defeat Acrogia (the black dragon that Senju had fought against Mikoto in his past memories), Igneel (the dragon that Natsu had been searching for) and Metallica (the iron dragon that raised Gajeel) devised a plan.

Five children were chosen: Natsu, Wendy, Gajeel, Stinger, and Rogue. They were trained to become Dragon Slayers, while the five dragons used the "Soul Dragon Technique" to seal their own power within the mages' bodies. That's why Natsu couldn't find the fire dragon, because the fire dragon was inside him.

Then they used the spacetime magic 'Eclipse Gate', which was invented by Zeref, to prepare to transport the five children to a future where magic flourished. In that era, a Celestial Spirit Mage named Anna opened the Eclipse Gate. Four hundred years later, on July 7, X777, Lucy's mother, Layla (also a descendant of Anna), opened the Eclipse Gate as promised, awakening the five children.

This time, Senju saw it very clearly: the 'Eclipse Gate' was actually a spacetime portal that could only be opened at a predetermined time using a large amount of magic power and the keys to the twelve zodiac signs. When the appointed time arrived, Lucy's mother was missing a key, so she used her own magic power and life force to make way for the main characters.

This also explains why Natsu is Zeref's brother; Natsu traveled from 400 years ago. However, upon seeing the reason from that time, Senju frowned. She had exhausted her life force and magic power, and her soul had suffered severe damage. The price to pay for reviving her would be too high.

Senju came up with a very simple way to revive her: he could travel through time and send the missing key, the Aquarius key, to the past. Then, he could have Lucy's mother enter the dormant seal at the correct time. Now, Senju could open the seal and revive her perfectly without altering the timeline. Well, the origin of this method is the way Okabe deceived the world and revived his assistant in Steins;Gate.

After observing everything, Senju nodded, and the strange noises around him disappeared. Then he looked at Lucy and said, "There's a very simple way to revive someone, as long as you're willing to give up one thing."

"Really? What do we need?!" Lucy asked excitedly. The others were puzzled as to what Senju had just done. Senju nodded. "That's right, all you need to do is give up the Aquarius Celestial Key."

"What?! You want Aquarius?!" Lucy was shocked. Senju nodded and explained carefully, "Your mother died because she lacked the key to the Aquarius Palace. I need to send it to the past to change the cause of your mother's death. However, there can only be one key in a given timeline. I can only keep that key for a moment in that time to replace the life force and magic power that Leila needs to expend. Then it will shatter and transform into the power to seal Leila, ultimately allowing your mother to live without altering history."

"Oh, I see," everyone said, looking enlightened after hearing Senju's explanation. Lucy, however, gripped the key tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Chapter 1670 Incomplete Resurrection

Seeing Lucy's state, the others didn't know how to comfort her. Compared to the noise in the other room, the silence here was even more profound. After a while, Lucy asked again, "Isn't there any other way? I'd even give my life for it."

"Let's forget it. Your mother won't agree to trade your life for hers," Senju said, shaking his head. Seeing Lucy's sad expression, Senju thought for a moment and shook his head again. His current power was insufficient to perfectly revive Lucy's mother.

Just now, he had only deduced the past, which had already consumed 80% of his magic power. It was a rare moment for Senju to feel the depletion of his magic power. Although he could recover in a few minutes, in the end, Senju's power was still not enough. If it were completely exhausted, his own existence would also collapse.

However, seeing Lucy's somewhat desperate look, Senju suddenly had a thought. It seemed that he had been taking things for granted and had forgotten something. So he carefully asked, "Lucy, even if my resurrection is flawed, can you accept it?"

"Flaw? What flaw?!" Lucy was a little excited and uneasy. Senju continued, "It's that I can't use or learn any magic, and I'm also weak and sickly, and incurable. Is that okay?"

"Such a flaw?" Lucy hesitated slightly. She wanted to resurrect her mother, but not send her back to Earth to suffer. "This... I'm asking you, what do I need to do?"

“Find your mother’s remains, and we’ll need some of your blood. That should be enough,” Senju said after trying to summon her spirit directly but failing. Lucy immediately grabbed Senju’s hand. “Let’s go now!”

"Let's go too," Erza and Ma said, seeing Senju pull out the airship.

Karlov joined in the shouting, and then the four of them took an airship to Leila's grave.

Lucy was offering prayers there, while Senju was examining the feng shui of the place. As expected of the heroine's mother, this place had excellent feng shui. But it was time to get up.

With a stomp of her foot, the tomb cracked open. Lucy was a little sad, but Senju ignored her and looked at the exquisite coffin. Although it contained only bones, it still held powerful causal energy. In a fantasy world, this would probably be the remains of a deity whose power had dissipated.

After watching silently for a while, Thousand Hands extracted the power and refined it into a sinister magic weapon. If it hits someone, they will be defined by the world as 'someone who should sacrifice themselves for the world,' and then their fate will begin to flow in that direction.

However, after this power was extracted, all that remained inside was an ordinary skeleton. This made it easy to revive. Then, Thousand Hands patted the coffin, and time inside the skeleton rapidly reversed. Reversing the time of the dead is very simple. The principle is simply to fill and restore the various dissipated substances with substances composed of the same atoms. Soon, the situation inside was restored to the state it was when it was first buried.

As the time rewind ended, Senju lifted the coffin lid. Lucy immediately covered her mouth and looked inside. The familiar face inside brought tears to her eyes. "Mom!"

“The body hasn’t changed yet, this…” Makarov, who had come along, was slightly surprised. Senju shook his head and picked up a stone. “It’s not that it hasn’t changed, it’s just like this.”

As he spoke, the thousand-handed fist shattered, and then a magic circle appeared in his hand, restoring the scattered stones. "It's just a magic for reorganizing matter; it's ineffective against living beings."

"However, this is already terrifying enough," the Third Hokage sighed slightly as he looked at the mother and daughter who looked exactly alike. Meanwhile, Senju was preparing an altar nearby. Unlike Uru's situation, Leila's interference with cause and effect was much greater. Although Senju had already extracted the cause and effect from her bones, Leila's existence was still being watched by the world.

Even Senju could sense that powerful beings in the Celestial Spirit Realm were spying on this place. Beside Lucy, a celestial spirit with a goat's head and a human body automatically appeared and looked at the situation. "Leila, will you come back to life? I really look forward to seeing you again."

In this situation, the Thousand Hands chose to use Lucy's blood to cover it up. This could be seen as fate or karma. The world's chosen one makes a small mistake and takes a novel step, which the world will not care about.

Of course, Senju doesn't care about the world's impact, but Leila can't. Senju doesn't want to see Leila encountering all sorts of "Final Destination" scenarios after her resurrection.

With a tap on the ground, a circular stone platform appeared, with a black and white yin-yang symbol in the center, surrounded by Taoist symbols such as the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper. Then, with a wave of his hand, Leila floated up and landed on the stone platform. Then, looking at Lucy, he carefully explained, "Now it's your turn. Remember to keep calling her so that her soul can return."

“I understand,” Lucy nodded solemnly after listening to Senju’s explanation. Senju had no choice. In fact, he had tried to summon the soul directly, but failed. Then he understood the situation. If there was an underworld here, Uru’s soul would probably be equivalent to a free ghost, but Leila’s soul was obviously much more important. This would be drawn by blood ties and feelings.

With a final slash, Lucy felt no pain, but her finger began to drip blood, which was slowly absorbed by the stone platform. The platform then began to emit a faint red glow, and at the same time, she cried out, "Mommy, Mommy..."

Senju was channeling fairy power into the altar, acting as a bridge between the two worlds. After a few minutes, Erza couldn't bear to watch any longer. She raised her hand, cut her finger, and offered her blood. "Lucy, let me help too."

"No way!" Senju shouted in fright. This was ridiculous! The person was using blood to summon their own blood relatives, mixing in other people's blood—how could that possibly revive them?! It would definitely create a deformed monster!

Fortunately, at that moment, the Third Hokage and the Goat-Headed Serpent joined forces to stop Erza's blood from dripping. Senju breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew, we were almost all done for. If you don't understand, don't interfere!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Erza, realizing her mistake, bent over and knelt down, begging for an apology. Seeing her like that, Senju didn't know what to say. "Alright, you don't need to apologize to me."

"It's alright, Erza, you meant well, don't worry about it," Lucy said weakly, glancing at Erza before continuing to call for her mother. In the past few minutes, she had already lost 500 milliliters of blood.

Although she hadn't fully recovered, the stone platform had changed. The yin-yang symbol in the center was spinning rapidly, and then, as if a door had opened, a black hole appeared beneath Leila. However, it didn't target matter, only the soul, and its effect couldn't extend beyond the stone platform.

"The technology is truly impressive," Thousand Hands muttered to himself. He had found this blood relative resurrection array in a fantasy novel, a world teeming with cultivators. Death and resurrection were commonplace there, and all sorts of strange resurrection techniques existed. This one was considered quite cost-effective, usable even by mortals, though it had limitations. For example, the resurrected person had to be a blood relative, have no cultivation left, and possess a healthy body. But it was perfect for this situation.

It.

A few more minutes passed, and everyone felt a 'wind' blowing out of the cave. Leila's hair on the stone platform floated upwards, and then a dim ball of light emerged from the passage. Thousand Hands, who was standing nearby, activated a spell: "Blood relatives attract each other, forge the soul with blood!"

Instantly, the red light flowing on the stone platform transformed into a long rainbow and poured into the dim sphere of light. The sphere of light brightened considerably and then merged into Leila's body. Her body then trembled, and continuous shockwaves spread outwards. The people around instantly understood that it was her heart beating.

Chapter 1671 Membership

"Mom," Lucy weakly called out as her mother's heartbeat returned and she began to breathe. She then collapsed beside the stone platform. Erza rushed over and began to shake her vigorously. Senju, standing nearby, had to remind her, "If you keep shaking her like that, Lucy will really die. She's just lost too much blood; she'll be fine after a little blood replenishment."

"How can we replenish her?!" Erza said, seemingly wanting to feed Lucy some of her own blood. She shook her head helplessly. Senju took a drop of Lucy's blood, then with a flick of her hand, a ball of blood appeared in the air, which then turned into thin threads and merged into Lucy's body. "Alright, although her body is still a little weak, she will be fine after resting for a while."

"Where am I?" Leila sat up from the stone platform, coughed lightly, and looked around. She was still very weak. "Who are you? I remember, I think I fell asleep."

After explaining everything, Senju looked tenderly at Lucy, who had fainted to the side, and said, "You're so silly, Lucy, my daughter."

Then, Leila followed the group back to the guild. She was also very interested in the guild her daughter was in. However, the third generation seemed a little embarrassed. Those rascals were having a party at home, and he was afraid that his guild would leave a bad impression on Lucy's mother.

"What a lively guild," Leila smiled, listening to the commotion from the other room, then coughed. Senju, listening nearby, felt a little uncomfortable, his throat sore. After a moment's thought, he waved his hand and crafted a pile of equipment, handing it to Leila. "Your body is too weak right now. If you want to move around normally, you'll need equipment. Here's the Strength Earring, the Spirit Ring, the Vitality Necklace..."

"Uh," the two people next to him were speechless after hearing Qian Shou's introduction. With this set of equipment, the patient could beat up more than a dozen strong men! After putting it on, Leila's physical and mental condition improved significantly, and she stopped coughing.

Then, Thousand Hands instructed, "However, these have a small drawback: they need to convert food into magic, so they get hungry easily. If there isn't enough food, they will start converting fat."

"I see, no wonder you felt like eating something," Leila chuckled, then carried Lucy into the camp. Natsu immediately shouted upon seeing her, "Oh~ Lucy, you're back! Pfft~ Why are there two Lucys?!"

"Idiot? It must be Gemini," a wise person said incisively. Outside, Erza looked at Senju intently. "Those things... do they really help with weight loss?!"

"Uh..." Now it was Senju's turn to be speechless. So, what was the point of paying attention?! She was given a necklace that enhanced her magic power and told to go play somewhere else. Senju stood at the door, wondering where to go next. Would Kuroko still be coming? In the parallel world she was in, there was no magic power, and Senju didn't want to go.

Makarov had been watching, wanting to propose resurrecting the First Generation, but the First Generation's remains were Fairy Tail's top secret, not to be known by outsiders. Outsiders?! He suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Senju, do you currently belong to any guild?"

"Why are you asking that? I don't have a guild anymore," Senju said, puzzled. Makarov asked excitedly, "Then would you be interested in joining our guild?"

"Well," Senju initially wanted to refuse, but then a thought suddenly struck her. If Kuroko were to come looking for her, this would be the best place to find out. "Alright, I agree!"

“Welcome,” Makarov extended his hand, and the two shook hands. Then, Makarov said with a smile, “Since we’re comrades now, let’s talk about those five people from the Twilight Demon…”

"Tch," Senju gave the Third Hokage the middle finger, then realized something was off. With a wave of his hand, the five henchmen were resurrected. These were insignificant minor characters, easily brought back to life anyway, since they might die again at any time!

Moreover, Senju maliciously placed the five resurrected individuals at the entrance of Fairy Tail's base, interfering with their thinking and forcing them to find a reasonable outcome themselves before coming here to 'collect money'.

Then, the five men kicked the door open and walked in with an air of nonchalance. A moment later, a series of screams came from inside, and then Senju saw pillars of fire erupt from the camp, blasting through the roof.

"Natsu!" Makarov stormed back into the house. Senju smiled helplessly. Sure enough, destruction was the norm. He followed him in and saw a group of drunkards beating up the five people from before. Senju felt it would have been better if they had just died.

However, the five people disagreed. After being beaten black and blue, they shamelessly knelt down and begged for mercy. They had kicked over two tables when they came in and even tried to flirt with Mirajane and the others before being ganged up on by the surrounding crowd. However, the Fourth Hokage and others who had witnessed the Thousand Hands killing people were quite surprised. Weren't these five people already killed?

While they were wondering what was going on, the five of them had already been ganged up on. Then the Third Hokage came in and berated Natsu. But hey old man, could you please stop standing on those five people? The height of the pile isn't going to actually increase!

Senju, standing at the door, was speechless as he watched the Third Hokage loudly complain to Natsu. However, even standing at the door, someone still came up to him, and it was a very beautiful woman. Senju looked at her and then remembered that this should be Cana, but she looked drunk.

"I heard you defeated Gildarts and even saved us! Come on, buddy, cheers!" Cana shouted, raising her sake barrel to Senju before drinking straight from it. Senju rubbed his forehead speechlessly. Why do so many women like to drink? His family members, Chito and Yuri, are the same, but neither of them are as heavy drinkers as this one! Drinking from a barrel!

Then, she drank the entire barrel of wine in one gulp. Senju stared at her stomach with twitching eyes. There must have been at least 30 kilograms of wine in the barrel, and she had actually drunk it all in one go, but her stomach hadn't changed at all. Was this what a mage was like?!

"Here, this is yours! If you're a man, drink it!" Kana handed another barrel to Senju, and the people around them cheered. Seeing the commotion, Senju shook his head helplessly and took the barrel. Including the outer barrel, it weighed about seventy or eighty pounds, but it was a wooden barrel and there wasn't much wine inside.

With a flick of his wrist, Senju opened the lid of the barrel, then raised it and began to drink. He couldn't let anyone look down on him, could he? Without pausing for a breath, Senju finished the entire barrel of sake in one go. Looking around, he turned the barrel upside down to show everyone, and a cheer erupted. "Finally, finally someone can drink with Kana!"

Chapter 1672 Performance and Newspapers

Then Senju looked at Kana across from him and found that she was drinking from another barrel of sake. As if sensing their gaze, she put down the barrel, then let out a burp, "Come on, let's drink some more!"

"..." Senju was speechless for a moment. He was actually a super drunkard. You really can't judge a book by its cover. He shook his head, waved his hand, and a glass filled with juice appeared in his hand. "I'll use this. You guys can drink slowly."
