"You rude wretch! If it weren't for the fact that you completed the century-old mission and gained a lot of merit, no matter how strong you are, we wouldn't have included you in the Ten Wizard Saints!" An old woman shouted at Senju. Senju helplessly rubbed his forehead. "What a hassle. I have no interest in being one of the Ten Wizard Saints. I've come all this way, and you won't even pay me. I have a lot of things to do, like eating and drinking. I don't have time to chat with you."

"..." Everyone fell silent for a moment, then began to criticize Senju. Senju suddenly found the scene quite amusing, yet somewhat familiar. Wasn't this often the case of people who didn't understand the situation making random accusations? But at this moment, one person's voice drowned out the entire room, "Shut up, all of you! Since he has completed the century-long mission, he should become one of the Ten Wizard Saints!"

"Oh?" Senju glanced over there and saw that it was the bearded guild master who spoke. As expected of the leader, he made quick decisions. Then he looked at Senju and said, "Since you've come here, you must be here for the title of one of the Ten Wizard Saints. Although it doesn't pay you, that position comes with all sorts of privileges and benefits."

“Take your guild, Fairy Tail, for example. It has caused so much public damage and been involved in so many major incidents, yet nothing has happened. This is all because of Makarov’s influence. But,” the bearded guild leader looked at Senju, “that influence is gradually being exhausted over time. If they cause any more big trouble, we will have to order the guild to be forcibly disbanded. Makarov agreed to that condition back then.”

“However, if you accept this position, the council will be more lenient with Fairy Tail, just like before. Even if they cause trouble, they'll just be fined!” The bearded man’s words were met with opposition from the eight people around him. “No, that’s condoning them! They’ve been gone for four years, and it was only after four years of peace and quiet that they’re back to causing trouble again!”

"Um, is Fairy Tail causing a lot of trouble?" Senju asked from the side, listening to the argument. The others chimed in, "Of course they're causing a lot of trouble. They destroy buildings and set fires everywhere during missions. There are hundreds of complaints a year, and the council has to compensate for the damages. Fairy Tail owes the council a lot of money."

"Moreover, they have violated the treaty that prohibits guilds from waging war in private, and they have even regarded the notorious criminal Gerald as an ally. This kind of thinking is too dangerous! They must be dealt with severely."

“I see, Jellal,” Senju thought of Mystogan, who was Jellal from a parallel world. They probably mistook him for someone else. But since the others didn’t say anything, Senju didn’t bother to say anything more. “Alright, let’s not talk about the past. Let’s talk about the Ten Wizard Saints.”

“Alright, I also think we should talk about this,” the guild leader said, stopping the others before turning to Senju. “The process is simple. Just record the general information and make sure you don’t break any laws in the future. If you want to challenge God Selene, we can help you make the contact.”

“That won’t be necessary,” a voice came from the side. Everyone looked to the side and saw a blond man with an odd hairstyle, practically twin ponytails, speaking at the entrance to the hall. He looked very young, only in his thirties, but everyone around him was shocked. “God Selene! When did you arrive?!”

“Oh, so this is the new Ten Wizard Saints? They look pretty good,” Selene jumped down from there, looking at Senju and the dragon soul behind him with interest. Senju looked at him with some disappointment. “This is that god...what? He looks so weak. I thought he was just a grunt from the Wizarding Council. What a waste of time.”

"Hmph, what an arrogant newcomer," Selene smiled at Senju, then beckoned, "Well then, let's have a fight, let the senior have a good..."

"Smack!" Thousand Hands waved his hand, and a giant energy hand slapped him to the ground. "Alright, enough of this waste of time. What can eight trash dragon souls do? I'm tired of eating things of this level!"

After being knocked down, Selene struggled immediately, but all his attacks were absorbed by Senju, and there wasn't even a tremor around him. As if realizing that this was not working, he transformed into eight dragon souls of different colors, but Senju surrounded him with an energy shield.

The dragon souls roared and were slowly compressed into a ball. If Senju hadn't eaten too much, none of the eight would have survived. Of course, it's not good to kill people in front of others. Senju clenched his fist tightly and then released it. Selene inside had already turned back into human form, looking seriously injured and coughing up blood.

"..." The surrounding people fell silent. If it weren't for the immense magical pressure from both sides, they would have thought that this Selene was an imposter. But now, the number one on the continent was defeated so easily. That person, as expected of the one who completed the century-old mission, is indeed the strongest mage!

"Alright, the small fry are dealt with. Let's register the information." Perhaps because he'd killed so many dragons, Senju unconsciously looked down on Selene, whose power was primarily based on dragon souls. The others didn't dare say anything more; after all, this was still a magical world, and strength mattered.

It's up to you to decide, and Senju didn't go too far.

"Damn it, I was careless this time," Selene, who had gotten up, was enveloped in magical light, and his injuries slowly healed. It seemed he was still not convinced. Thousand Hands beckoned, "Come here, let me show you something good, Ten Thousand Dragons Roar!"

Countless dragon souls surged out from behind Thousand Hands, each one stronger than the one Selene had just unleashed, instantly filling the entire hall. Well, of course, although this was called 'Roar of Ten Thousand Dragons,' only a few hundred dragon souls actually appeared, but it was enough to shock everyone.

The blond man with pigtails over there also collapsed to the ground. "How is this possible? There are so many dragon souls! Who are you?! Could you be Acnologia?!"

"Aku what? Who's that? That name sounds familiar," Senju said with a hint of curiosity, but everyone around her looked horrified. "Black Dragon? The Black Feather of the End?!"

Chapter 1694 Seafood and Guilds

"Black Dragon? Oh, that guy. But Black Feather of the End, that's quite a title," Senju realized, hearing their shouts. They were talking about Black Dragon. Titles really are important; he should probably call himself...

After thinking for a while, Senju realized he didn't have any chuunibyou talent; all he could think of were dragon slaying, dragon riding, the end, and the conclusion. After a moment of panic and shock, everyone realized that Senju wasn't making any moves, and judging from what he said, this person wasn't the Black Dragon. So the guild leader cautiously asked, "If you're not the Black Dragon, then who are you?"

"Well, how should I put it," Senju, whose thoughts had been interrupted, raised his head and looked at the wary crowd, explaining briefly, "In your terms, I'm probably a visitor from another world, or someone from another planet. You should understand the concept of a planet, right?"

“Of course, we understand,” everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Senju with complicated expressions. “A traveler who has crossed worlds, no wonder you’re so strong. But why did you come to our planet?”

"Well, I'm just here to find two lost children. After I find them, I'll stay here and play for a while," Senju said, noticing the tension in everyone's eyes. "Alright, I won't do anything bad. But you all have to keep this a secret for now, and don't put it in first place. Sixth or seventh is fine."

"Well, okay," seeing Senju's expression, everyone had no choice but to agree. The rest of the process was simple: they recorded the information, took a photo, and then Senju left with the badge that served as proof of his identity. In the end, they still didn't give Senju a title.

Watching Senju leave, the others fell silent. Black Dragon, Zeref—these were already troublesome enough, and now a time traveler had arrived. "Perhaps we can have them interact with each other..."

“That’s true. And since he’s joined Fairy Tail, let’s issue missions to guide his direction.” After discussing for a while, everyone nodded and began to assign various missions to Fairy Tail. Selene, who was standing to the side, watched everything silently. “Time traveler, huh? Looks like we need to send the information back. Fairy Tail, huh? They’ve been monitoring us for so long. What a coincidence.”

Regardless of what people here think, Senju has already flown away. Although there are powerful magical facilities here, if those facilities disappear now, he will definitely be suspected. Moreover, with Senju's current strength, he has no rivals here, so he is too lazy to look for them.

Flying slowly through the air, Senju moved towards the guild, glancing down as he went. He then noticed the railway and trains, and the locomotives appeared to be steam engines, as did the internal systems. Perhaps magic was too expensive; cheap and practical was the right path.

Besides that, Senju also saw carriages pulled by various animals. After watching for a while, Senju thought of the earth dragons from Emilia's original world. However, since there are dragons in this world, people might have some prejudice against small dragons, and it would be troublesome to create one, so Senju stopped thinking about it.

However, after flying for a while, Senju discovered a strange creature emanating an unpleasant aura chasing after several mages below. Senju casually struck down with a bolt of lightning, and the monster fell down, but it was still alive. So Senju patiently finished it off, striking it down more than ten times, turning it into ashes.

"Strange creature," Senju shook his head and continued flying forward. Although he had only made a casual attack, even a single blow would have killed Natsu. He hadn't expected that the monster he encountered so easily would be so strong. The protagonist still needed to work harder.

After floating for several tens of minutes, Senju also felt a bit bored. A spatial portal opened in front of him, and he returned to the sky above the Fairy Tail guild. He glanced around and saw that there was nothing going on below. After looking around again, he saw the ocean and suddenly realized that he seemed to have put something in there. He had almost forgotten about it.

Unfortunately, those water mine talismans became outdated before they even had a chance to work. But they're still good as gifts. Thousand Hands transformed into a ball of light and flew into the sea. Then he found the crystal talismans he had scattered. However, a marine creature resembling an electric eel was now guarding the talismans.

They seem to be able to sense the electrical level within the water-thunder talisman, and are using it to absorb energy for their own evolution. Unfortunately, the Thousand Hands talisman hasn't been in place long enough.

In a few decades, perhaps a sea dinosaur will appear, but for now, they are still seafood, and very delicious seafood at that, similar to pufferfish or something.

After collecting the water mine talisman, Senju caught some electric eels to take back and cook. There were quite a few fresh ingredients here. While swimming in the sea, Senju collected various ingredients, such as kelp, seaweed, fish, shrimp, shellfish, crabs, octopus, and other seafood. Finally, after catching a fish that was more than ten meters long with excellent meat, Senju returned.

Back at the guild, Natsu and the others hadn't returned yet. The others, however, were quite interested in the fish that Senju had brought back, and they all gathered around to discuss it. "What a pity, such a big fish. If Happy were here, he would definitely be very happy."

"Let's not talk about them anymore. This fish is so big, let's have a feast! Natsu and the others are eating and drinking over there, we can't fall behind!"

"Sake, sake, Sandai, bring out the sake, it's time for a banquet! By the way, is this blue fish edible?" Cana shouted. Jeremy, on the other hand, seemed to know exactly what he was talking about. "This is an extremely delicious blue fluorescent fish, worth a thousand gold per kilogram. I didn't expect you to catch such a big one, Senju. Let me show everyone my cooking skills."

"Um, I'd like to make some food too," Senju shouted, holding up a fish. The fish was so big that it didn't bend thanks to the magical support he had built. Although he wasn't tired, he shouldn't be pointing fingers at him. Mirajane looked at Senju seriously, then raised his fist. "Great! Let's have a cooking contest!"

“Don’t cry, I studied at a culinary school,” Senju said, tossing the fish into the air. “Well then, let me process this fish first.”

Several wooden tables rose up beside them, with large ice platters on them. Thousand Hands, having already figured out the fish's structure from the previous touch, produced two three-meter-long slender knives in his hands. "Azure Dragon Slayer Fish!"

Then, the thousand hands transformed into beams of light and circled the fish a few times. Then the fish 'exploded,' the meat flew into different plates, the internal organs were cleaned out, and the bones and fish head landed on the table next to it.

Chapter 1695 Cooking with Magic

"Wow, amazing!" The people around exclaimed in amazement, then applauded. After thanking them, Senju looked at Mirajane, who was selecting fish. "Miss Mirajane, please wait a moment and try my dish."

"Oh? Aren't we going to cook them together?" Mirajane was somewhat surprised, while Senju waved his hand, and a 100-kilogram piece of fish floated up. "Magic cooking, very fast."

Several wind blades flew out, and the large piece of fish meat turned into thin slices weighing one kilogram each. Then, with a wave of his hand, several bottles of sauces appeared from the void, were mixed together, and soaked into the floating fish meat. Then came a pile of spice powder. "Almost done, the last step, fire!"

A burst of flame appeared, scorching the fish meat. Instantly, an explosive aroma wafted out, making everyone around drool. Mirajane was also dumbfounded, "So fast! This is cheating! Can magic cook?!"

“Of course you can,” Senju said, finding the operation quite normal. She thought of chefs who used knife skills and internal energy to cook; using magic to cook was perfectly normal, wasn’t it? “Besides, it can also train your control skills. A bad mage simply can’t be a chef!”

"Uh..." Everyone was speechless for a moment, then with a wave of his hand, twenty wooden skewers flew out, each skewering five pieces of fish from the flames, and then floating onto the wooden plate on the table. "Please try it, grilled sashimi!"

"It looks delicious!" The excited crowd immediately went to divide the fish. To be honest, five kilograms for a skewer of grilled fish is a bit much in the normal world, but five kilograms is a fairly normal amount of food in this world. Look at those people, how happy they are eating!

As Senju was thinking, she saw several ladies find plates, knives, and forks and start separating the fish meat from the skewers. They couldn't eat that much; one piece each would be enough.

Speechless, Senju also took a piece and ate it, but then shook his head. Although the technique was from that world, it wasn't as delicious as the one from that world. It was just an ordinary delicacy.

"Hmm, this is really delicious! But I won't lose!" After tasting the fish, Mirajane raised her fist, then poked the eyes out of Senju's eyes. She then carried a plate of fish weighing over 70 kilograms to the kitchen, where several women went to help. The others ate the fish while drinking and making a ruckus.

After eating a piece of fish, Senju was slightly dissatisfied. Seeing that there were still several tons of fish left, she waved her hand and produced another 100-kilogram piece. Then, she slapped it onto the fish with a loose spiral ball, and instantly the piece of fish turned into minced meat. She then added various spices, shrimp, shellfish, octopus, and other side dishes, and stirred it into a large ball. After that, she divided the ball of meat into countless small balls, each of which was a beautiful, translucent white meatball.

Next, Qian Shou manipulated the hot oil to fry the meatballs, and the color of the "Prince" meatballs became even more beautiful, looking like clear white jade. Then, wooden skewers were used to skewer the meatballs, but these were much lighter.

After Senju placed the dumplings on the table, everyone applauded. Wait, what happened to the grilled fish?! They ate it all?! And you guys over there, don't try to imitate that!

Shouting "Manly!" and then hitting the fish.

What kind of operation is this?! And you guys over there, when did you even start the fire?! You don't just cut the fish and grill it! And kid, didn't you notice the fire in your hands turned the fish into charcoal?! And the guy awkwardly dancing with the fish, Thousand Hands is just ridiculous!

Seeing everyone displaying their talents, Senju was quite speechless. Then, looking at Dorelle and Cana eating and drinking heartily next to him, Senju nodded. These were the good diners.

While slowly eating fish balls, the Third Hokage came over and asked about the trip to the council. Senju casually mentioned it, but didn't talk about the council. Instead, he talked about his discovery at the Naihe Palace and the existence of another world.

"Ten thousand dragons, huh? Such a future! But Princess Emerald is too... she actually believed the nonsense of outsiders. Luckily you stopped her, otherwise..." The Third Hokage shook his head as he listened to Senju's story. "But Rogue, who is he? I've never heard of him."

"He's also a Dragon Slayer Mage, his attribute is Shadow, and he should be a Sabertooth Mage now," Senju said, reciting the information he had read. "In his world, the Dragon Slayer Mage's battle against the Black Dragon failed, and then Natsu died. Gray turned evil and killed his companions, and then he went mad, devouring another Dragon Slayer Mage. He then opened a door to try and let the dragon go to that other world, but Lucy desperately stopped him. That's how he went back in time and started that crazy plan."

"Is that so? But fighting the Black Dragon..." The Third Hokage's expression was somewhat grave, and his small body seemed to have shrunk even more. "Natsu and the others are still too young. I wonder what the future holds."

"As long as we defeat the Black Dragon, everything will be fine," Senju said, quite relaxed. "We just need to train them properly. Besides, I also acquired a pretty good future magic this time. The mages over there have researched a way to activate the Second Source, which can double the magic power."

“Is that so? That does offer some hope. It’s not the time for a banquet yet, and Natsu and the others are wasting time in the Celestial Spirit World,” the Third Hokage said with a hint of dissatisfaction. Senju shook his head. “Perhaps the Celestial Spirit King has already discovered their whereabouts and brought them there to protect Lucy. After all, Rogue from the future could easily kill Natsu and the others.”

“That’s true,” the Third Hokage nodded after a moment of silence. Such a thing was indeed possible. He then rallied his spirits. “But now that I know about that future, I absolutely cannot allow it to happen! I will change that future with my own power!”

"Um, it's best not to say that," Senju shook his head as he looked at the Third Hokage's resolute expression. This was someone who could very well be the one who triggered the protagonist's potential through death. "The protagonists of this world are Natsu and the others. Trust them, they can definitely do it!"

"The protagonist, huh? Well, I'm a protagonist too!" The Third Hokage slammed his fist on the table. Senju rubbed his head helplessly, then brought up the other guild's affairs, "Speaking of which, I saw Guild Master Mavis over there..."

Upon hearing Senju mention Mavis, the Third Hokage immediately listened attentively, inquiring about Mavis's situation. Just then, several girls brought over the prepared dishes. Senju glanced at them and saw that they were fish rolls, filled with other vegetables inside the fish. They looked delicious!

Chapter 1696 The Returning Members

After tasting it, Senju knew that Mirajane's cooking was better than his own. Mirajane's cooking was filled with her care for her companions. In addition, the ingredients were also better than Senju's. A thin layer of fish meat tightly wrapped some meat filling and fruit pieces. It was not greasy and the fishy smell seemed to be removed by the fruit. The taste was very well matched.

"How does it taste?" Mirajane asked with a smile as she watched Senju start eating. Senju nodded and looked at her with admiration, "It tastes wonderful. Miss Mirajane's cooking skills are truly amazing."

"Thank you for the compliment, but you can just call me Mira, Senju," Mirajane said with a smile, then looked at the skewers of dumplings next to her and exclaimed in cute surprise, "These dumplings are so pretty! Did you make these too, Senju? They look delicious!"

"Have a taste," Senju said, handing over a skewer of dumplings. Mirajane tasted it and exclaimed in admiration. The two then started chatting about cooking, while the Third Hokage, standing nearby, was somewhat speechless. They had clearly gotten to the important part, how did it suddenly turn into eating?!

"I see," Mirajane listened intently as Senju explained various cooking techniques and the secrets of cooking with magic. Then Senju heard a slurping sound beside her. "Senju, this sounds delicious! Make it for everyone to try!"

"Uh," Senju looked at the Third Hokage beside him and was speechless. Couldn't he be serious for once?! And there were still so many dishes around. "President, let's finish eating this first. We've already used hundreds of pounds of meat, and we don't even know if we can finish it all."

"Don't worry, the meat will definitely be there... Uh, Natsu and the others aren't here," the Third Hokage said, sounding a little disappointed. Senju shook his head slightly. In the midst of this silence, the space beside them suddenly opened up, and a bunch of people fell out. "Wait, you're pressing down on me! Go over there!"

A bunch of people were shouting randomly. Everyone looked around speechlessly and saw that it was Natsu and his group, who had disappeared for almost two months. They were now piled up on the ground, looking around and even greeting each other. "Oh, you're back at the guild!"

"That bearded man is actually quite sensible."

"That's outrageous!" Just then, a complaint came from the side. Everyone looked and saw Harpy staring intently at the huge fish skeleton, drool and tears streaming down its face. "They caught such a big fish, but they didn't even call for help!"

“Harpy…” Charlotte, the white cat flying beside him, was speechless. Parker, who was eating with Emilia in the distance, was also speechless. “Oh dear, a cat.”

“There’s still a lot more,” Senju said, speechless at the tone of the voice. “No wonder it’s Kugimiya Rie.” She pointed to the plate next to her and reminded Happy, “You can eat as much as you want.”

"Really?" Happy looked over with teary eyes. Everyone nodded in agreement, and it excitedly rushed over, nuzzling the huge fish meat in the ice plate. "What a beautiful fish! If only it were whole, I would eat it all."

Then it brandished its knife and fork and launched an attack on the enormous fish. A group of people nearby sat down to eat, chatting about their experiences that day. Then they were told that two months had passed. Several people were so shocked that they spat out their drinks. "What?! Two months? How is that possible? We only stayed for one day!"

"It's just a difference in the flow of time. A whole day there is three months here," Senju explained, and the others finally understood. Then Natsu started waving his fist and complaining, "Damn it, that bearded old man actually wasted so much time! We need to go train now!"

"Luckily we came back early. The Celestial Spirit King originally planned to keep us for three more days. If that had happened, it would have been nine months..." Lucy said, then stopped. That would have been the time for the Grand Magic Games!

"Uh," everyone was speechless for a moment. They had figured it out too. But then, Lucy looked at Senju and said, "But speaking of training, one day should be enough, right?"

"Lucy, what are you talking about? One day isn't enough at all," Natsu mumbled, gnawing on his meat. But Gray and Erza, standing nearby, suddenly remembered something. "That space that stretches time! It was made by the Senju!"

"Oh~ I remember now, that white space where a day feels like several months, it's really heavy inside, a great place to train!" Natsu nodded repeatedly, then suddenly stood up, looked at Senju, and bowed solemnly, "Senju, please train me!"

"Training? It's really tough inside, can you handle it?" Senju asked Natsu with some curiosity. How far could the protagonist go with extreme training methods? Natsu, of course, patted his chest and said, "Of course, I'm not afraid of hardship!"

"Excellent! Watch me train you to be even stronger than a dragon!" Senju said, feeling the Third Hokage cast a grateful glance his way. Then Senju looked at the others and said, "You guys should join in too. The guild's combat strength needs a serious boost."

"Oh~ I've worked out!" Natsu exclaimed excitedly. Senju waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down. "It's getting late now, let's start again tomorrow."

"Uh..." Looking at the one o'clock afternoon sun in the sky, everyone was speechless for a moment, then looked at Senju with strange eyes. Senju coughed, "Alright, although the training doesn't start until tomorrow, I can show you something good. By the way, Natsu, are you afraid of pain?"

"Of course I'm not afraid!" Natsu shouted triumphantly, but then asked with some confusion, "But why?"
