Offer blocks to the end times

Hearing what Nigoran had to say, he lunged at William. Thousand Hands, who was standing nearby, quickly dodged. He wiped away a cold sweat and said, "It's really good that things are going well for William."

William, who was standing next to them, had been pinned to the ground by the lolis, who were pulling his eyelids and picking his nose. He looked like a precious animal, and he didn't dare to move. He could only enjoy the lolis jumping around on him.

Finally, Ke Rong stood on top and pulled William aside to ask, "William, I heard that your clan was wiped out before, is that right?"

Hearing this clueless voice, Nigolan almost fell to the ground, speechless at the sight of the noisy group of little ones.

“Humans really are just like us,” Tiat said, examining William’s palm.

“That’s really interesting. Could you tell me about things from your time?” Pan Libao asked thoughtfully from the side.

"Um, I'm not very good at talking, but please cheer up," Laqixu whispered encouragingly from the side.

“Yes,” William had no choice but to play the puppet and let them grab him around. Thousand Hands watched with great envy, no, great indignation. How could they treat him like this? It was too much!

"You lot," Nigolan's sinister voice came from the side, and the group of girls stopped moving, turning their heads to look at Nigolan like rusty screws. "You know what to do, right?"

"Wow!" The group of little ones were terrified and rushed outside. Within ten seconds, the room was empty of them.

“It’s quiet now,” Asya smiled as she looked at the room, which had calmed down. “I happen to have something I want to ask him about.”

"What do you want to ask?" William stood up from the ground and sat down to one side.

"First, let's confirm. You're human, right? And the Thousand Hands Technicians are human too, right?" Asya asked, looking at the calm Thousand Hands and the others.

"Although I don't know when it became this way of referring to us, back on the surface, 'people' referred to here meant us; other races were all monsters," William said casually. "As for the Thousand Hands and the others..."

"Well, we're humans from another world. We accidentally wiped out all living things, so we came here to take a look," Senju said from the side, trying to scare the other party.

“What a ruthless race,” but Athena wasn’t intimidated. Instead, she gave a sly smile. “Why should the mighty human race bother with us?”

Then she put on a serious face, "Why are you helping us so much? After hearing who you are, I don't understand why you're doing this so diligently here."

“Well, it’s only natural to be gentle with girls,” William said with an innocent smile, and Senju nodded in agreement. “Because all living things have perished, we have developed a strong attachment to this place. Most importantly, you are all very cute.”

“Appearance doesn’t matter, we’re all women, so gender doesn’t matter at all,” Athena said from the side.

"Heh, don't you like cute things?" Senju sneered from the side. "All living things are the same. They like cute things and hate ugly things. Cute things, even if they are..."

“Well, what Senju said makes some sense, but cute appearances don’t come by accident. They inherently have the nature of ‘wanting to be loved,’ ‘wanting to be protected,’ and ‘wanting to be cherished,’” William interrupted Senju. “Whether they are wild beasts or humans, they all have a kind of cuteness that transcends their species when they are young. That’s just how it is.”

“I agree with the Thousand Hands Technician’s point of view, but do you think we are the same?” Asya looked at William with a not-so-good expression. She knew that she also liked cute things, but as a weapon, she didn’t want others to praise her for being cute.

“Since its original form is a ‘soul’ that can take on any shape, it deliberately transformed into this adorable form, so it’s somewhat convincing,” William said, shrugging.

"So, does that mean our entire race loves to act cute?" Asya pondered for a while, then clapped her hands and came to a conclusion. "If you include the technicians' lolicon tendencies, then it does make sense."

“Hey, why would you explain it like that?” William looked surprised, then he and Asya laughed.

Ctholly, standing nearby, found the sight of the two exchanging knowing smiles somewhat irritating. She knew that the previous sacrifices were due to a lack of understanding of the Holy Sword, and now that there was a new way to avoid sacrifices, she still couldn't let go of the lingering unease. She turned to run away, but William stopped her. "Where are you going? I wanted to help you adjust the Holy Sword."

“I want to go for a walk, a walk,” Chtholly struggled for a moment, then stopped. “What did you say?”

“We’ve made some adjustments. I just noticed that Senioris hasn’t been maintained in a long time, and its performance has dropped significantly. We can improve its abilities by making adjustments before it goes to war,” William said, holding Chtholly’s hand while shaking the Genesis Key in his other hand. “The other Holy Swords probably have many problems as well.”

“Wow, when did you take that?” Nigolan exclaimed from the side, referring to what appeared to be the key to the storage room.

Chtholly stared at William with a gloomy expression, as if she wanted to take a bite. Nigolan added fuel to the fire, "Ah..."

"Oh, William, really!"

"Wait, let me explain!" Chtholly ran outside, and William threw down his keys and quickly chased after her.

Inside the house, Yuri became interested in Athena, who was sitting in front of her and had similar hair color. She looked at the cat-ear shaped hair on Athena's head and touched it. "Chihiro, you should try it too, it's a lot of fun."

"Wait, you're from another world, right? What's another world like?" Asya asked the two of them, enduring Yuri's hand on her head.

“A cold, steel, and deathly silent world,” Nephren spoke up, while Athena was somewhat surprised. “Len, how did you know?”

“Because during your last mission, Lian had already gone to the other world to explore,” Nigolan said from the side. “Thanks to this information, the higher-ups are not particularly concerned about the battle on the floating islands anymore, and they are currently studying the possibility of relocation.”

“No wonder,” Asya seemed to understand something, then looked at Senju, “If we move there, there will definitely be a war. Is that really a good idea?”

“Well, almost all the creatures over there are extinct. As for humans, we’re the only ones we know of,” Senju shrugged. “So we really don’t care. In fact, we’d like to say you’re welcome to live there.”

Chapter 242 The Hero is Too Lazy

“That sounds like a dangerous world,” Asya said, ignoring the people patting their heads on either side, and looked at Senju. “Could there be man-made monsters or something over there?”

"Don't worry, at least we haven't seen any monsters that are harmful to humans," Senju gave a thumbs up, but unfortunately, Athena didn't seem to believe him.

“But there’s not much good food over there. It feels like there’s so much more to eat here,” Yuri chimed in, drooling as she looked at Athena’s head. “I don’t know now that there are so many things as delicious as fish.”

"Hey, Yu, you're drooling," Chito quickly helped wipe her mouth, while Aiseya felt a chill. "Is this what humans are like? Such a strong killing intent."

“No, no, no, Yu is just a glutton,” Senju waved his hand. “Over there, it’s always the same few dishes. Whenever she encounters a new dish, she says it’s delicious.”

"Oh, I see," Asya said, shifting her position slightly before feeling relieved. "When can I go and take a look over there?"

"Well, that depends on your side," Senju chuckled, then asked, "What are you planning to do if everyone here moves over?"

“What to do with it? I haven’t thought about it yet,” Asya began to ponder, then clapped her hands, “Maybe I should use it as a weapon.”

“But once the threat of beasts is gone, you will probably be useless,” Thousand Hands recited, shaking his head. “When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked; when the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away. This is almost the truth of all worlds.”

“But it was good back then too, we didn’t have to keep sacrificing ourselves,” Athena murmured to herself before breaking into a big smile.

“That’s good,” Senju stopped trying to persuade her. “If you ever have nowhere to go in the future, you’re welcome to come to us.”

"Well, we'll see when that day comes, but I'm looking forward to it," Athena chuckled from the side.

However, Nigolan, who was watching the others trying to poach her children, was a little annoyed. "These kids belong to our family. Don't try anything funny."

"Yes, yes, I only valued their fighting abilities, I had no other intentions," Senju quickly begged Nigoran for mercy, but she seemed even angrier.

Senju, somewhat confused about what Nigoran was thinking, turned to Yuri and said, "By the way, Nigoran, could Yuri study with the little ones and strive to become a qualified hero as soon as possible?"

“Learning is no problem, but the relic weapons need to be allocated by the higher-ups,” Nigolan thought for a moment, then said somewhat somberly, “And they require physical adjustments, and the lifespan of fairy soldiers…”

“That doesn’t sound good,” Senju shook his head. Adjusting the body and such must be a means of control. The lifespan issue is easy to solve. “Just let her study together. As for the Holy Sword, I will try to make it.”

"Huh? You can even make holy swords?" Nigolan looked at Senju in surprise. "I thought it was amazing that you could repair holy swords, but now you can actually make them?"

"Yes, through special methods (using public office for private gain)," Senju said without a trace of shame. Although he had also taken a large amount of supplies, he still considered himself a good person.

“I see,” Nigolan said thoughtfully, then looked at Chihiro and Yuri beside her. “I agree. Yuri, do you want to become a hero?”

“Yes, I do,” Yuri answered, leaning on the table. Then Nigoran continued, “Using the Holy Sword requires extensive training, learning a lot of magic, and fighting powerful enemies.”

"Huh?" Yuri looked at Nigolan innocently, as if she hadn't woken up yet. "What did you just say? I don't remember."

“...I was talking about the hero,” Nigolan was speechless for a while after being defeated by Yuri’s appearance before she started talking again. Then she saw Yuri stretch and yawn. “Ah, I’m so sleepy. Let Chiyo take care of the hero stuff.”

"Hey, Yuri," Chito looked at Yuri with a changed expression and went up to her.

He shook her, "Wake up! Don't pretend to be asleep."

"Haha," Athena laughed loudly, "I'm so envious, is this what an ordinary girl is like?"

"Well, never mind," Senju shook his head and patted Yuri's head. "If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Anyway, what's going on here doesn't really concern us."

“Yeah, that’s what I thought too,” Yuri woke up again, while Chito next to her complained, “You just want to slack off.”

"Although it's not a good time to ask, I still want to ask, is that a fun place?" Senju stroked Yuri's hair and remembered something, so she asked Nigoran, "I want to take Yuri and the others to see around and learn about the culture of this other world."

“Well, in that case, I recommend you go to the city to see a movie. The movies there are really touching,” Nigolan said, seemingly recalling a scene from a movie. Aisya next to her nodded repeatedly.

“I see. Watching a movie is indeed a good choice,” Senju nodded and made a note of it. “But where is the city? Do you have a map of the floating continent? I’ll take a look.”

“It’s on this island, 2500 miles from here,” Nigolan looked at Senju in surprise. “Haven’t you noticed? William goes there all the time.”

"Huh?" Senju was quite surprised when she heard the answer. Was the island really that big? She hadn't noticed before.

“Never mind, I have a book here that introduces the various floating islands,” Nigolan said, somewhat speechless. “If you want to visit other islands, I recommend Corinna Dirchi. There are many romantic scenes there, and they don’t exclude non-characteristic species.”

“Mmm,” Athena said excitedly, “I’ve heard that there are many filming locations there, and it’s a very, very famous city. I’ve always wanted to go there to see it.”

“I see, there’s racial discrimination too,” Senju nodded to show he understood. “If I go, I’ll take lots of photos and write a few hundred words of my impressions for you.”

"Tch, shouldn't we be inviting girls out now?" Asya teased from the side, while Senju replied, "But I already have other girls."

"Ugh," the two stared at each other for a while, both disgusted by what they had just heard.

"You two are really something," Nigolan said, somewhat exasperated as she watched the two of them joking around. "Tomorrow, Athena and the others are setting off, and a new batch of supplies is arriving as well."

Chapter 243 The Holy Sword Chooses Its Master

"So soon?" Senju said, somewhat surprised. "Didn't they just get back a few days ago? Are they setting off again so soon?"

"Well, this was pre-arranged," Athena said with a grin. "However, it would be best if Chtholly didn't have to sacrifice herself."

“This time, the three of them are going together. The evacuation of Floating Island No. 15 has been completed, and the troops have been deployed. The decisive battle will take place in four days,” Nigolan explained from the side.

"Oh, I see," Senju hesitated. He also wanted to see what the beast looked like, but the information he had heard these past few days indicated that it was a very dangerous life form, so he decided it was best not to risk his life. "Well then, I wish you a safe return."

"Don't worry, don't worry," Asya stood up and patted Senju on the shoulder. "Valcaris has been repaired to a brand new condition, so there won't be any problems. By the way, you should also repair Chtholly and Ren's relic weapons. That will increase our chances of winning."

“Great, repairing a holy sword that isn’t broken yet consumes very little energy,” Senju nodded, then looked at Nephren, “By the way, which one are you using?”

“Insania,” Nephren said calmly, while Nigolan urged from the side, “Let’s repair these children’s weapons now, time is running out.”

“Yes, anytime is fine. Insania is in the storage room right now,” Nigolan thought for a moment and then looked at Nephren. “Len, you come along too. Asya, go find Chtholly and see where she is.”

"Understood," Asya gave a playful salute, then ran out.

“Let’s go to the storage room too,” Nigoran said to Senju and Nephren, who nodded and prepared to follow.

"Where are we going?" Yuri, who was munching on something, looked over. Chito had spent a lot of effort to calm Yuri down earlier, and now that she heard there was something going on, she became interested as well.

"Can Yuri and the others go too?" Senju looked at Nigolan hopefully, and after thinking for a while, she nodded. "They are also Associates, so it's fine for them to go and take a look."

“Great!” Yuri shook Chih-hu vigorously. “We can go on an adventure again.”

"Yes, yes," Chito looked helplessly at the excited Yuri. Had she been too bored lately because she had nothing to do?

Ishii, engrossed in his research, glanced at the noisy crowd and said, "I'll pass; I have some calculations to do."

Seeing that Ishii was engrossed in flight calculations again, the others didn't disturb her any further and instead went to the vault together.

Looking at the vault door and the underground passage that appeared afterward, Yuri felt her long-lost curiosity being aroused. She excitedly touched the surrounding stone walls, pretending to be serious as she calculated how long this place had been around.

However, Yuri quickly lost heart, because after the passage opened at the end, there was only one...

It was a slightly larger room, without the maze or anything like that she had imagined, but then her attention was drawn to the holy sword hanging on the wall.

Nephren then took her holy sword out of the box. The sword looked like a broadsword and emitted a faint purple light. She then walked up to Senju with the sword in her arms and stared at him for a while.

"Don't worry, it's very simple, it will be brand new in a moment," Senju said, extending his hand to her. Nephren then handed the sword to Senju.
