Offer blocks to the end times

As soon as Senju finished speaking, a low clanging sound came from ahead, drawing everyone's attention. They saw a flat, boxy robot slowly walking across the narrow bridge. It was about the same width as the bridge and was carrying some steel on its back.

“Ah, there’s a machine operating,” Yuri said, watching the machine slowly approach. “It’s getting closer.”

"What should we do? We can't get through like this," Qianhu said as he saw the machine slowly approaching. He realized that he had to reverse back.

"Excuse me, could you move aside?" Yuri shouted at the machine, but it didn't respond. "Is that not allowed?"

“Of course,” Qianhu complained, then prepared to reverse. “We need to go back a bit to the side road we just came from.”

“No need for all that trouble,” Senju said, standing behind and raising his bow. The bow’s only effects were infinity and burning. Senju shot a few arrows at the machine, but the machine didn’t react violently. After a while, it turned into several orbs of light and iron ingots floating there.

"What's that?" Chito looked at the floating object with some curiosity, but Senju wasn't going to stop for these things and quickly urged Chito, "Chito, don't worry about this, let's talk about it after we leave here."

"Alright," Sento said, seeing that the area ahead had been cleared, she stopped asking questions and continued walking along the bridge. The orbs of light landed on her, and Sento heard a pleasant sound. Startled, Sento bumped into a pillar.

After quickly adjusting the car, Chito drove it forward again. However, at this moment, a series of cracking sounds came from behind. Chito and Yuri saw that the pillars along the edge of the bridge were collapsing one after another, spreading towards them.

"Chito, speed up!" Yuri was getting anxious seeing Chito still driving slowly on the bridge and quickly reminded her.

"What happened?" Qianhu increased the car's speed a bit, but didn't dare to look back, completely unaware of what was happening behind him.

"Chihiro, hurry up! This bridge is going to collapse!" Senju cried out anxiously from behind. The pillars next to the bridge were probably the piers of the newly built bridge, and the three of them were right in front of these piers, which were slowly falling towards them like dominoes.

Senju glanced ahead at the bridge; he could escape the piers not far away, but at his current speed, escape was impossible. As Senju panicked, the car slowed down even further.

Seeing this, Yuri leaned forward from behind and grabbed the handlebars. "Chihiro, speed up!"

Upon hearing the sound, Chito instinctively stepped on the gas, and the car's speed increased instantly. Yuri was there, controlling the car's direction, and with their combined efforts, they quickly sped out of the dangerous area.

As the car left the area, the bridge piers slowly crashed onto the bridge, breaking the entire bridge behind it. Fortunately, everyone had already left the area; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Following this bridge, everyone could see the edge of the opposite bank ahead. Ignoring the sounds coming from behind, the car drove across the bridge to the other side.

Upon arriving at the familiar ice field, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After advancing for a while, they stopped and looked back. The huge fault line was only a few hundred meters wide, and normally it would only take a short time to cross. However, in this complex fault line, it felt like they had walked for a very long time.

Standing on the edge, looking at the bridge inside, which was already in a mess, everyone felt both alarmed and relieved. It was really good that they could pass through here safely.

Chapter 131 Familiar Statue

"How did this happen?" Qianhu, standing at the edge, looked at the broken bridge inside with some alarm and took out his camera to take a few pictures of the crack.

"It was probably caused by some kind of weapon. The bridges inside must have been built later," Senju said. He noticed that there were quite a few bridges inside when he looked around. He then connected this with the machines he had seen and came to this conclusion. However, none of this mattered to the three of them.

"Right, those light orbs"

"What was that?" Chitoge suddenly remembered the sound he'd heard back then. "And I also heard it with my ears."

“That’s experience points, but I don’t know exactly what it is, I only know the name,” Senju explained somewhat blankly, then seeing that Chito was worried, she couldn’t help but comfort him, “At least this thing is harmless. Yu and I have both received it, and nothing unusual happened.”

"I see," Chito said, relieved after hearing this, and sat there looking at the building through the cracks.

Meanwhile, Yuri was enthusiastically tapping on the ice on the ground. After a while, she took out a dagger, poked a piece of ice off it, and held it up to Chito's face, saying, "Chito, look, an ice block!"

"I know, Yuri, hurry up and take it away, it's so cold," Chito protested, and Yuri took the opportunity to sit next to her, picked up the ice cube, broke off a small piece and threw it into her mouth, "Aww, so cold, so delicious."

"You really shouldn't eat everything," Chito said, watching Yuri eat ice cubes. She didn't know how to lecture her, but Yuri didn't care at all. "No problem, no problem, ice is water too. Chito, have a piece too."

After Yuri finished speaking, she handed a small piece of ice to Chito. Chito stared blankly at the glistening ice in his hand, "Maybe it really tastes good."

Senju watched the two eating ice cubes without saying anything. Standing there, looking at the huge crack, he felt a pang of regret. If those machines had had enough time, this place might eventually be repaired. But the one he destroyed was probably the only machine that could still function in this area. Thinking about it, it was a bit of a pity.

However, Senju didn't regret it. What was the big deal about making a fuss after taking down just one machine? He still wanted to take down many more monsters.

Just as Senju was staring blankly at the steel valley with a childish expression, Chito's voice came from ahead, "Senju, what are you doing standing there? We're leaving."

"Oh," Senju quickly woke up and saw that the two people sitting in front of him had stood up and were walking towards him, while the car was right behind him.

"Chihiro, are you alright? Let me drive again," Senju thought about the thrilling scene just now and decided to let Chihiro rest for a while, since the road on this icy plain was flat anyway.

“It’s alright, thanks to Yu, I’ve calmed down completely now,” Qianhu then got into the driver’s seat. “You two get in the car quickly.”

"Yes," Senju and Yuri agreed, then got into the car, which slowly drove away from the rift.

As the car moved forward, the surroundings returned to the familiar ice field, and the familiar lighthouses that had reappeared began to shine, illuminating the somewhat dim environment once again.

After driving for a while, a building appeared ahead, standing out prominently on the flat ice field.

"Hey, Chihiro, did you see that?" Yuri shouted, pointing to the building in the distance. The two people next to her nodded repeatedly.

The building looked like a rectangular prism suddenly rising from the ice field, which piqued the curiosity of the three of them. Qianhu drove the car toward it.

As they drew closer, the building became clearer and clearer. It appeared to be a three-story circular building, several hundred meters in diameter, with intact glass panels and several lighthouses illuminating the surrounding area.

There were two other entrances on one side. Qianhu chose an open one, drove the car over, parked it next to the entrance, and then the three of them picked up their backpacks and prepared to go in and explore.

At the entrance, you can see a semi-circular staircase. Only half of the glass door is still standing, while the other side has been reduced to fragments.

Everyone carefully entered through the door and saw that it was a corridor. Through the glass on the side, they could see the outside scenery. Looking ahead, the corridor was somewhat curved and circular.

The three walked down the corridor. After a while, a closed door appeared on the wall next to them, with some light coming from inside. Qianhu stepped forward and slowly pushed it open. Then, all three of them saw the scene inside, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "There's someone inside!"

Senju and Yuri also saw the scene inside. There were many white figures inside, which looked like people at first glance. After looking closely, Chito realized that they weren't people. "They're not people after all."

“These should be sculptures,” Senju said, looking at the figures inside. He felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them before when he was studying art.

"Statues, or stone statues, what was it again?" Qianhu was a little confused, and the three of them went inside to look at the statues.

Under the light, the figures were clearly displayed before the three of them. The figures stood on their own pedestals, displaying various poses. Thousand Hands turned his head and saw a familiar sculpture. "Discobolus? What's going on here?"

With a puzzled look, Senju looked at the statues around him. Could that one with the missing arms be Venus? There were several missing arms, and another one was David throwing a stone. This place must be connected to his previous world. It was all a belated realization. After all, he should have thought of it when he saw the familiar characters before. But looking at these familiar statues made him even more certain.

"Senju, what are you talking about?" Yuri asked curiously, then looked at the surrounding statues. "These look so tall."

"Hmm, I thought it was..."

"Where are these tall people?" Qianhu nodded, somewhat puzzled. "What exactly is this place for?"

Thousand Hands also looked around. The sculptures all around were in a Western style. The human figures were in various poses, with well-defined muscles and full of explosive power. They were all two or three meters tall.

“This should be a sculpture museum,” Senju said, forgetting the exact name of the place, but it should be something like that. “These are stone statues made by people in the past.”

“Really? I remember there were stone statues at that place called the temple before,” Yuri said, somewhat puzzled. “They said they created something like a god, but these don’t look like that.”

Chapter 132 Return to Hell

"Yes, those stone statues were for worship. They were used to showcase the beauty of the human body," Senju recalled. That's what her teacher seemed to have said when she was learning it.

"The beauty of the human body?" Yuri asked, somewhat puzzled. She glanced at the exposed muscles around her, raised her arm as if trying to flex her muscles, and asked, "Is this what beauty is?"

Senju watched as Yuri was about to develop a wrong idea and didn't know how to persuade her. Fortunately, Chito shouted from the side, "Everyone, look! There are texts here. It should be some kind of explanation."

Senju and Yuri also came over. Next to the statue was a black sign with several languages ​​written on it. Senju slowly read it aloud, "F, r, 18, 19, I don't quite understand."

"The Thinker?" Senju looked at the statue and found it very familiar. Although he didn't recognize many statues, he did recognize this figure who was half-squatting with his chin on his hand as if he was thinking. Then he looked at the sign on the wall next to him.

"Hey, Senju, do you recognize this stone statue?" Sento asked, puzzled. "What's written on it?"

"Franch, France, November 12, 1840 – November 17, 1917, Rodin, the most famous sculptor of the 19th century," Qian Shou read out the comprehensible text on it, and then explained it to the two of them based on her own knowledge, "This says that the maker of this sculpture is Rodin from France, a very famous sculptor."

"I see," Chito said, somewhat puzzled. He took out his camera and snapped a picture of the sign, then of the statue. "Luckily, Senju can read it. What does this say?"

Chito then pulled Senju to other signs to learn the characters. Senju told them the characters she knew, but Yuri still didn't quite understand. "These little Chito don't understand characters. They must have been made by ancient people. Why does Senju seem to know so much about them?"

“I don’t know either, but I recognize more than one kind of writing,” Qianzhi pointed to the familiar Chinese characters. “I should understand all of these.” Then he pointed to the English characters. “I only understand a little of these. This place is probably closely related to my previous world, like a parallel world.”

"Parallel worlds? Senju's words are getting harder and harder to understand," Yuri said, even more confused. "What are they?"

Sengoku, standing beside him, looked at Senju expectantly, waiting for his explanation. Seeing the two of them, Senju decided to continue.

“Hmm…” Senju thought for a moment, “Parallel worlds, roughly speaking, refer to many very similar worlds, but with different current situations. For example, the world we are in now is about to end, while in other worlds, there are still many humans living happily. Of course, they may also suffer other crises and events. However, the origins and knowledge of these worlds are similar, which is why they are called parallel worlds.”

“Although I don’t quite understand what Senju is saying,” Sento thought for a moment after listening to the explanation, “there must be many people living happily in other places, right?”

"Yes, although there are some problems, Chihiro is right," Senju couldn't explain the concept perfectly to the two of them, so he could only agree with Chihiro's statement.

"Then how do we get there, to the parallel world?" Yuri looked at Senju with some longing, but Senju didn't know either. "I don't know either. Although I can reach other worlds, it's through the power of a portal, and the destination can only be Hell."

“Hell,” Yuri seemed to find it very familiar, “it sounds like I’ve heard of it before, but what is it like?”

“I’ve said this before,” Senju said, seeing that Yuri had completely forgotten, so she had to repeat herself, “It’s a strange space, full of hellfire, fire and lava, and time here stops when I go in.”

“Yes, I’ve seen the photos taken by Senju before. They look very strange,” Chito recalled the photos he had seen before. “There’s an animal called ‘Fangniu’ living in them.”

"Fangniu?" Senju asked, puzzled. Then she remembered, "Yes, yes, those are Fangniu. The beef and milk we eat come from those Fangniu."

"Really?" Yuri felt her mouth watering. "Senju, could you take some pictures for me to see?"

“Sure, the time spent over there won’t affect this place, it’ll be done soon,” Senju thought for a moment and decided there was no problem, so he prepared to build a Hell portal in the room.

After putting away the stone statues next to him, a space was cleared in the middle. Thousand Hands then built a portal to hell there, and after lighting it with a flint and steel, a purple light screen appeared on it.

Chito and Yuri moved closer and looked.

Come on, Yuri reached out and poked it. "This is amazing! Hmm, why is everything around us shaking?"

Senju and Chito, who were standing nearby, watched as Yuri's figure gradually faded away. Chito quickly pulled Yuri back, and Yuri returned to her normal posture.

"What just happened? The surroundings were shaking," Yuri shook her head, seemingly confused about what had just happened.

"Hmm? Could it be that Yuri can also go over there?" Senju looked at the changes just now and couldn't help but guess. The phenomenon just now clearly showed that Yuri was about to be teleported over. "Senju, you two wait here for a while and don't go near the light screen. I'll be back in a bit."

After saying that, Senju ran to the portal and slowly disappeared before Senju and Yuri's astonished eyes. Yuri was very surprised and asked, "Where did Senju go?"

As Yuri spoke, she prepared to lean against the light screen, but was stopped by Chito. "Yuri, Senju said not to get close. Let's wait until he comes back."

“Ah, this is a good opportunity. I wonder what it’s like over there,” just as Yuri was speaking, Senju appeared from above again. He saw that their positions had changed and couldn’t help but say, “I knew it was like this.”

"What exactly happened? Senju, you disappeared for a while," Chito asked, confirming Senju's suspicions that the time-stopping phenomenon had been lifted.

"Well, I just went to the world on the other side of the door. It seems that for some unknown reason, the phenomenon of time stopping here has been resolved," Senju explained, but he seemed to have thought of something about the reason.

"Time stops? What's that? Can time really stop?" Qianhu was even more confused.

Chapter 133 Dangerous Hell

"Ahem, I think it's possible," Senju coughed, unsure how to explain. He knew the meanings of many words, but couldn't explain the underlying principles. "By the way, Senju, would you like to go take a look?"

"Can we go over there?" Qianhu asked, somewhat surprised. "What's it like over there?"

"Hmm, I can't really explain it either. You'll find out when you get there. Yuri, are you going?" Senju said, then called out to Yuri, who was slowly approaching the portal.

Yuri was startled, then quickly nodded, "I'm going!"

"Alright, everyone, get ready. I just went over to check, and the other side of the portal is safe; there's no fire or lava," Thousand Hands said, seeing that everyone had agreed, and began preparations.

They tied themselves together with ropes, then held hands and entered the portal. After a sway, the three were transported to Hell. The place was exactly as Thousand Hands had just arrived. Hell Rock formed the foundation of the surrounding environment, not only below but also above.

"What a strange place, everything looks the same," Yuri said, looking around at the strange scenery. "Even the sky is dark red, and what are those glowing things up there?"
