With a tap of his staff, a light-screen map appeared in front of him, displaying the number of players in each city. "Hmm? Akihabara, huh? Let's go check that out."
Volume 25: The Horizon - God's Psychological Adjustment Period
Chapter 1890 Cultivating Civilization
"Akihabara? I've heard it's a very famous place in Japan. Does it exist in this world?" Rem asked with a hint of curiosity. Senju nodded. "Well, it's just the setting. There are no manga sold in Akihabara here."
"Is that so? That's a shame," Rem said with a slight disappointment. She often went to Akihabara to buy manga and figurines. In fact, there was a huge figurine exhibition hall in the castle, which Rem managed. She even brought many figurines to life as her management assistant.
The nearest city wasn't Akihabara, but some unknown city. After resting there for a while, the two continued on their way. Senju didn't use spatial teleportation; he walked slowly, wondering what the next test would be.
But after walking around here all day, I haven't received any hints. Instead, I've encountered all sorts of monsters and fought...
Having gathered quite a few things, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, Senju decided not to proceed for the time being. He touched the ground, and a huge castle appeared in front of him.
This is a top-tier castle created by Senju using administrator privileges. At the entrance, dozens of servants and a butler are greeting Senju. In the setting, Senju is the owner of this castle, but he only uses it for one night.
She casually arranged the items, and apart from the butler who had led the way, everyone else withdrew. Snacks and tea were all prepared. Senju nodded and went to rest in the living room.
"Huh?!" Thousand Hands, who had casually picked up a pastry to eat, suddenly felt a bit doubtful about life. This thing was very exquisite, but it had no taste at all. Was there something wrong with the setting of her castle? She then asked about the tea. It was hot, but it had no taste either.
Rem, who was standing nearby, also noticed something was wrong. She quickly spotted the problem with her eyes. "Master, the food and tea here are missing the laws related to flavor. This is soulless cuisine that was directly synthesized through skills."
"Is that so?" Senju was surprised. After looking closely, she realized that something was indeed missing from the desserts. No wonder they tasted so bad. She waved her hand and forcibly imbued the food with flavor rules, and only then did Senju feel that the desserts were edible, but the taste was still just average.
After putting down the snacks, Senju lay back in the chair, closed his eyes, and pondered. When he arrived here, the Five Stars did not respond at all, but it was not 'dead'. Instead, it seemed to have fallen into a state of hibernation. He released all his power to construct this world and then transformed into a player or NPC. Play in this world.
Of course, it's also possible to transform into a monster, but Thousand Hands didn't consider it. He slowly tapped the table, sensing the situation here: the special laws, millions of players, plus the NPC called 'Earthling'. However, these had become real life forms and were no longer driven by the system background.
However, these earthlings are living a rather ordinary life. They eat tasteless food, have no powerful abilities, cannot resurrect like players, and have to live in this world full of monsters. Without the protection of the system, it is really difficult for them to build their civilization.
However, as he completed the task, Senju realized that he probably needed to complete this world, allowing this world, which was materialized from the game, to truly form its own civilization, before the Dragon Ball clones could appear.
"Hmph, nurturing the light of civilization, huh? How interesting," Senju also became somewhat interested. Nurturing a civilization that directly transforms from a concept into reality is indeed a suitable yet difficult game, especially for a solo player like Senju.
However, in reality, this is an extremely troublesome matter. Even with the power of a thousand hands, the most one can do is copy civilizations. Even if one can copy hundreds of millions of civilizations in an instant, one still cannot create a civilization. A civilization involves too many things, especially cultivating a unique light of civilization, which involves the common will of mankind and the inheritance of historical heritage. A civilization that can be copied at will does not have these things.
Thinking about it, Senju felt a bit annoyed, but fortunately there were many useful players here, and their power could be borrowed. But let's see how good the players are first.
After two attempts to search for the Dragon Balls, Senju was no longer in a hurry. Look how carefree those two Gods of Destruction were! In comparison, Senju felt inexplicably miserable. He could have had a much easier and more fun life, and he tried to enjoy it.
As he was thinking, he smelled an incredibly delicious aroma. Opening his eyes, he saw Rem summoning a small grill in front of him, making grilled meat skewers that Senju loved. The maid and butler standing to the side seemed unable to take their eyes off this, and Senju could sense their instinctive craving for food.
After all, they are human. The pursuit of delicious food is like an instinct, and Rem's cooking skills are top-notch in the Food Wars world. The humans here have never even seen delicious food before, so this plate of grilled meat is irresistible to them. The fact that they are not going crazy now is a testament to their unwavering belief.
With a flick of his finger, a plate of food appeared. Senju tasted it, then frowned. Had his own cooking lost its flavor? Shaking his head, Senju passed on a wealth of culinary knowledge to everyone. "Use the knowledge I've imparted to you and try making your own food."
"Yes, Lord," the crowd swallowed hard, bowed, and retreated to prepare their own food. Senju glanced at Rem standing to the side and said, "I'll help too."
The two were grilling meat there. Luckily, Senju's cooking skills were quite good; the food she made was excellent. They grilled and ate at the same time, and Rem seemed quite happy.
While eating, Senju's spirit enveloped the outside world. It's said that after the maids here learned the real cooking method, what they made were strange wriggling objects. How strange. It seems that there is still a flaw in the laws of food, or perhaps there is a conflict between the laws of the game and the laws of reality?
Even under these circumstances, some people still managed to make it successfully. Although it was very ordinary, the eyes of those who tasted it widened instantly, and their expressions were extremely surprised. Senju could only lament that it was fortunate that they hadn't been allowed to eat Rem's cooking, otherwise the super strong taste would have instantly destroyed their minds, just like the Dionysus Familia in Orario whose minds were destroyed by the Divine Wine.
Ordinary food is enough for them now; it's just right for them. A sudden, excessive increase in their sensory level would be too much of a shock to humans.
Cruelty can be very powerful; excessive stimulation can completely captivate a person.
While enjoying his meal, Senju pointed and gestured outside. It seemed that the real chef wouldn't appear for a while. He and Rem hadn't managed to create that strange wriggling creature.
Chapter 1891 An Encounter with a Master (Player)
In short, after resting here for one night, Senju left with Ram, taking with him a 'dragon carriage'—a carriage pulled by an earth dragon. Senju felt too tired to walk, so he decided to take the carriage instead.
The castle here is still there, and the people inside continue to live their lives. However, it's unknown when Senju will return next. Thinking about the castle I built in Gensokyo's Muenzuka, it's been more than ten years since I last visited it. I wonder how it's doing inside.
While casually thinking, Senju was browsing the player list. The highest level was 90, but the power of level 90 players here was a bit lacking, not as good as those on World Tree. However, each game has its own way of calculating levels.
Sitting calmly in the car, Rem's driving was quite smooth. Although they were going over mountains and valleys, Senju didn't feel any vibrations. Moreover, after a while, Rem drove the dragon carriage onto a smooth road. It was a highway from long ago in the setting. Although it was overgrown with weeds, at least the road surface was still smooth.
Here, the dragon's speed increased again. Even if there were anything blocking its way, Rem would whip it away from afar. As for monsters, none of them showed up.
After driving for an hour on such a road, the two heard the sound of horses' hooves ahead. Senju was slightly curious. "Rem, slow down."
"Yes," Rem replied, and the dragon carriage slowed down. A moment later, the two saw three players riding towards them. The other side seemed to have noticed the strange carriage as well, and slowed down as they watched cautiously and warily.
Thousand Hands, with the window open, looked at the three players: two men, a warrior and a mage; and a little girl, an assassin—a very strange combination. Neither side spoke; they just looked at each other and then passed by.
However, after passing by for a short while, Senju saw their attribute list. They were all level 90, the highest level players. It was really intriguing. Senju casually opened the map, and the three's route appeared on the map in front of him. "Interesting. From Akihabara, huh? Rem, turn around and follow them."
“Yes, Master,” Rem then turned the car around, but not very fast. Anyway, with magic guiding the way, the tracks left by the three of them were very clear.
After following them from a distance for a while, the people in front seemed to notice the followers behind them. However, they seemed to have some urgent business to attend to, so they ignored the pursuers, changed their mounts, and flew away on griffins.
However, this could not shake off the dragon chariot. With Rem's control, the dragon chariot took to the air and continued to chase the band of light (magic tracking trail) in the sky.
Sitting in the flying car, Senju saw that the nearby city of Susukino was very close. He glanced at the city and then shook his head. The city was filled with murderous aura, and the light of civilization was about to crumble. It seemed that the situation inside was very bad.
"Speed up," Senju said, and the dragon chariot accelerated, intentionally overtaking the two griffins in front. Before the three people's astonished eyes, they arrived outside Susukino Castle. Looking at the city, Senju instantly understood: the city had a powerful magical barrier. Was this a manifestation of the safe zone? It was surprisingly easy to understand.
Looking at the map, Qian Shou scratched his head. According to the game's setting, this was the capital of the Aizo Empire, and now it had become so terrible? What were those kings doing?
Then the dragon carriage entered the city. Instantly, Senju and Rem felt waves of malice. The streets were in chaos. Not only the Earthlings were being bullied, but also the players. Of course, the bullies were all ferocious players, who seemed to have not yet adjusted to the basics of being human after transmigrating.
A group of people were threatening and robbing people on the street, but no one came out to stop them. At this time, a strange car on the mainland caught their attention, and Thousand Hands even heard them say something about 'Earth People'.
Then a group of players jumped into the street and blocked the way, saying, "Hey, you mere Earthlings are actually driving such a luxurious car, aren't you being a bit too arrogant!"
"Master?" Rem asked from outside. She had been holding back for a while. Senju casually glanced around. If this were a game, there would be a bunch of big red names. "Kill them all once."
"Yes," Rem replied, glancing at the menacing crowd around her, feeling apologetic, then raised her hand, "Ul Shuma!"
Countless ice spikes rained down from the sky, instantly wiping out the red-named players who had surrounded them. Then, gold and items littered the ground. The ordinary players, who were half-dead, were dumbfounded by what they saw. These weren't the red-named players, but ordinary players who had been killed by them and were too afraid to leave the city. The Earthlings who had been bullied were equally stunned.
Rem then went to collect the items, since she had dropped quite a few and couldn't afford to waste them. After collecting the items, Senju gave the order, "Rem, head to the palace."
As the dragon-drawn carriage moved forward again, a few people followed. A quick glance revealed they were all Earthlings, their names containing something like 'Former Guards,' but these guards were incredibly weak! Level 4 guards, while the red-named players from before were mostly levels 60-90.
Could it be that this empire was destroyed by the players?
Along the way, quite a few players came out to block the way, but Rem cleared them all out. Then, Senju heard a group of players shouting, "Why haven't the guards appeared?!" Senju couldn't understand this. If there were guards, shouldn't they have dealt with these players first?
Then, Thousand Hands saw the two players next to him hurt each other, and then the surrounding space fluctuated. A magical puppet appeared. The puppet's power was connected to the city's barrier, so its power was naturally very strong and could easily suppress the players.
The players who were attacking each other immediately stopped and headed towards the dragon cart, shouting, "If you're so capable, then kill us!"
"Whoosh!" An ice spear pierced through the two men, instantly reducing their health to zero. However, the guards on the other side completely ignored the changes and slowly flew up and disappeared. "How is this possible?! Why aren't the guards moving? Are you earth people? How is that possible?!"
"Could they be from the Izumo Knights? This is going to be interesting," a player following behind seemed to be muttering. Senju was puzzled. The Izumo Knights? What is that? After checking with administrator privileges, Senju learned that it was a group of thirteen NPC heroes in the game's lore, all level 100, protecting the people of the land in thirteen regional servers around the world. The Izumo Knights were the legion protecting the Japanese server.
Chapter 1892 The Royal Palace
"So this is how the power of players and NPCs is balanced," Senju nodded as she looked at the data. With such a powerful group, the players would naturally be wary, thus balancing the strength of players and Earthlings. So, where is the Izumo Knights who should have appeared?! The guardian organization that was supposed to be there didn't show up at all when the players were wreaking havoc on the city!
Unfortunately, the game system is now half-collapsed, and Thousand Hands is too lazy to investigate this knight order that has disappeared without a trace. The dragon carriage has reached the outskirts of the palace. If you ignore the half-collapsed buildings around it, the palace here has a very Western fantasy style. However, it has now been occupied by players. They have closed the gates and are watching the dragon carriage outside warily.
"Attack!" Of course, the players didn't say anything righteously. Seeing the enemy arrive, hundreds of players launched an attack on the dragon chariot at the same time, but it was useless. A light shield appeared on the dragon chariot, blocking all the attacks.
"Impossible! How could there be such a powerful character?!" The surrounding players' faces turned pale as they watched the light shield ripple slightly. Then they saw a huge magic circle appear in the sky, and countless ice spears rained down, instantly killing all the players who were attacking them.
Fortunately, the death of the creatures here exploded into a ball of light, otherwise there would probably be blood everywhere instead of gold coins and items. With a wave of her hand, all the gold coins and items were collected, and then, with Rem's magic, the main gate of the royal city was blasted open.
As the dragon carriage entered, the two saw a group of Earthlings helping to move things. Judging from their titles, such as former king, former noble, and former general, they had instinctively gathered together after witnessing the earlier events and the arrival of the dragon carriage. Led by the former king, they carefully watched the dragon carriage parked there.
"Did you defeat those evil adventurers?" The king looked like a venerable and gentle old man, but Senju had no interest in helping him restore his kingdom. He didn't have a good impression of nobles, but as long as they didn't provoke him, Senju was too lazy to disrupt 'social order'. However, if he wanted Senju's help, he shouldn't even think about it.
"Hello everyone, it was indeed us who cleared out those evil adventurers. May I ask who you are?" Since Senju didn't speak from inside, Rem had to speak up. Senju was thinking that it would be great to raise her into an 'angel' like Vados. Well, in terms of temperament, Ram seems to be more suitable. Unfortunately, Senju is not like that lazy fatso like Parvati.
"Really?! That's wonderful! Finally, someone has punished those demons!" The surrounding crowd cheered, seemingly praising the gods for opening their eyes and finally driving away the demons. Then, a group of people were about to crowd into the dragon chariot to enter. Rem asked, "Master?"
However, Thousand Hands is currently looking at the map. He discovered that the royal palace can actually be bought. Although it will cost several million gold coins, and there will be a monthly maintenance fee of several hundred thousand, a series of rules can be set up in the purchased area, such as prohibiting entry and forbidding others from using force.
To be honest, Thousand Hands was a little curious about who to give the money to. The power to buy and sell the royal palace was truly formidable. However, Thousand Hands could also modify the information with his administrator privileges, so he didn't take any action. He shook his head and looked at the silent surroundings. The Earthlings around him were looking at the interior of the carriage with expectant expressions.
At this point, no nobleman dared to act recklessly and complain about being impolite. Such ignorant nobles had already been thoroughly taught a lesson by the players, making them realize the 'reality'.
Although she knew their fervent desire to reclaim their status, she knew they couldn't hold onto it without the strength, and she wouldn't stay here to protect them forever. Thousand Hands shook his head. "Rem, gather all the players and Earthling representatives in the city for a meeting here to discuss appropriate rules."
“Yes, Master,” Rem said softly, then waved her hand, and a huge magic circle appeared in the sky. A gentle female voice echoed throughout, “According to the will of the gods, all players and representatives of the Earthlings are requested to proceed to the King…”
The city has assembled to discuss its future.
There were quite a few ordinary players watching from outside. Hearing such a shout, they were still very curious. The girl's combat power was indeed beyond their imagination, and now she was talking about 'god'. Could it be that the being in the dragon carriage was the culprit who brought everyone to this other world?!
Many players with different thoughts slowly gathered here. In comparison, the Earthlings were much slower. As the players slowly walked in, Thousand Hands saw the three players he had seen on the way. However, there was also a 'Puck' next to them. No, it was a cat-man whose head looked a lot like Puck. It was also level 90.
"Get out of the way!" A loud shout suddenly rang out from outside, and another group of fierce-looking players rushed over. The leader didn't look like a good person at all. After shoving aside the group of players, he threatened a little girl next to the cat-man, "Serala, I've been looking for you for ages. After we deal with the earth people in the carriage, it'll be your turn!"
After saying that, he pointed at the dragon chariot and shouted, "Attack together!" The dozen or so people around immediately prepared their magic, and the leading player even charged over. His class was a martial artist, but unfortunately, none of their attacks could break through the light barrier.
"Seriously, there are all kinds of players here. Rem, don't make a move yet." Seeing that the player was starting to threaten the surrounding players, Senju raised her hand and created a prop, a miniature crossbow. Then she shot a ten-centimeter-long arrow at the outside, which hit the martial artist who was attacking the light shield.
"What attack! It didn't hurt at all!" The martial artist looked at his health bar, which was still full, and couldn't help but laugh. "The attack just now and the defense now, it was all thanks to this dragon chariot, right? How can the earth people be worthy of such a divine artifact? Let me use it!"
Then, Thousand Hands watched as the people around him attacked the light shield together. Many ordinary players were also forced to attack, while the original kings and nobles stayed far away. Thousand Hands was just idly attacking the leader with his crossbow.
After a dozen or so arrows, someone finally noticed something was wrong and cried out in alarm, "Demequas, your level!"
"Huh?" Demiquas, upon hearing this, instinctively checked his level, then rubbed his eyes. Level 73?! Then, after being hit by another arrow, he found his level had dropped to 72. "Impossible! What kind of weapon is this?!"
The surrounding players also used various skills to check, and after discovering that being attacked by that little arrow would cause them to lose a level, the group immediately stopped attacking in fright. Thousand Hands also stopped attacking. "Now, are you all willing to talk? Should I knock you all back to level one?"
Chapter 1893 Stop
"Damn it, I don't believe there are many arrows of this level! And now that we've attacked, do you think he'll let you go?! Everyone, don't stop!" Demiquas shouted, but as soon as the crossbow moved slightly, the people around him hurriedly retreated. Even dying once was not as threatening as losing a level. As players with normal brains, there were very few who didn't care about their level.
"Don't worry, I'm very magnanimous," said Senju casually, leaning against the window and looking outside. "If you stop attacking, I won't attack either. After all, these arrows are very valuable, and I only have a few hundred in stock. Now, can we talk? The order here is terrible and needs to be rectified."
"..." The surrounding players were speechless, because the person in the car waved his finger, and hundreds of small arrows flew around them. This was a blatant threat! As players who had worked hard to reach their current level, they didn't want to be demoted, and Demiquas also shut up.
As the atmosphere grew silent, the players slowly gathered in this direction. Fortunately, the area in front of the palace was large enough to accommodate thousands of players. However, only a quarter of the players in the city came here. The only representatives of the Earthlings present were the former king and nobles who had been enslaved. No one else came.
"Ugh, what a failure," Senju lamented, while Rem outside offered advice, "Master, should I capture them all?"
"No need, it doesn't matter whether you come or not. I'm just experimenting here," Senju said casually. He had only been here for a day, what traces could he possibly find? This was just a casual attempt.
Looking at the players standing or sitting outside, Thousand Hands shook his head slightly, took out a model and handed it to Rem in front of him, "Find a spacious place to unfold this building."
"Yes, Master," Rem said, stepping away from the light barrier with the model in her hand. At that moment, Demiquas couldn't resist attacking, but someone stepped in to protect her. The cat-man from before jumped out to shield Rem. "It's not gentlemanly to attack a lady, meow~"
"Damn it!" Looking at his own level and then at the opponent's level, Demiquas decisively retreated. He was almost down to level 70 and had no chance against a level 90 player.
"Thank you," Rem bowed slightly, but couldn't help but scrutinize the other person. He looked somewhat like Puck, though this gentleman's fur was darker, and the white pattern on his head was slightly different. Also, Puck's left ear was folded up and had an earring. Finally, Puck's overall appearance was that of a cat, while this one looked like a beastman! Only the easygoing Senju thought they looked similar, perhaps because their demeanor was similar!
Although blocking
Demiquas's attack was deflected, but other players were also getting restless. Four more people jumped out to protect Rem, and then more and more players stepped forward. The two sides faced off, and a battle was about to break out.
