From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Alice’s Sacrifice

TL: Sungmin

“Big Sis, please don’t mock me… I’m already as good as dead. None of it matters anymore.”

Grugia spoke despondently, his expression gloomy.

Once, in his pursuit of power and status, he had destroyed his own family.

That was the moment he’d died inside. Joining the Dragon Slayer Guild was only because he enjoyed the thrill of facing death at any moment.

Getting stronger didn’t matter at all.

The One-Eyed Owl wasn’t good with words.

When it came to someone like Grugia, with such a unique background and past, she had no idea how to persuade him.

After a moment, she just said, “Uh… whatever. Do what you want, useless guy.”

Even being insulted like that didn’t bother Grugia in the slightest.

Slowly, he lay down on the grass, staring at the sky.

At that moment—

Lin Tian’s voice sounded beside him, “Hey, buddy, acting like this isn’t right. What about the Dragon Slayer Guild members who consider you family?”

“Lin Tian? Why are you…?”

Grugia sat up hurriedly, his face turning serious at the words.

The One-Eyed Owl snorted, “Forget it. Don’t bother trying to talk sense into him. He’s a total wash-up, just a lazy waste.”

“I…” Grugia was speechless.

Lin Tian, however, simply chuckled. “That’s not necessarily true. The Titan Warrior Project—when I took down the War Empire, I checked their archives. Originally, it was called the Titan God-Making Project. They planned to use a piece of bone from the progenitor Titan race to create a new god—one who wouldn’t need to ignite a divine spark and could even establish an entirely new system.”

In this world, there were many divine systems.

The Titans, in fact, were the progenitors of the Olympian gods; Zeus’s father, Cronus, was one of the Titans.

They were creatures as powerful as gods but distinct from gods.

Hearing this—

Grugia’s cloudy eyes brightened. “Lin Tian, why didn’t you tell me sooner? Can I become something like a god?”

“Oh?” Even the One-Eyed Owl was intrigued, her interest piqued.

But Lin Tian bluntly responded, “No, you can’t.”

“The War Empire is proof enough—they failed to create a god. But I can give you the theory and materials, including the Titan bone. See if you can figure something new out from it.”

He reached into his spatial ring and pulled out several items he’d acquired from the War Empire.

Seeing the stack of fundamental texts and scrolls, along with the massive piece of Titan bone, Grugia’s eyes went wide with disbelief.

“This… this… Lin Tian, you’re just giving me something so priceless?!”

“Don’t want it? I’ll just take it back, then.” Lin Tian extended his hand.

Immediately, Grugia grabbed everything and hugged it to his chest. “I want, I want! Of course, I want it! Lin Tian, I’ll be forever grateful! If you like, I could even try to be at your service, right by your side~”

Those words, “right by your side,” sounded utterly ridiculous.

“Ugh… keep that sentiment to yourself.”

Lin Tian nearly gagged and quickly waved his hand in dismissal.

Clearing his thoughts, he then checked the One-Eyed Owl’s stats.

[Elizabeth Tilly: Lv 100
Race: Human
Profession: None
Title: Demigod’s Child, the Mad Lioness, Dragon Slayer…
Health: 4190
Strength: 1699
Defense: 1391
Skill: Crystal Eye

Overall: 18,900]

Looking at that final number, Lin Tian’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected her power to have risen so much!

Nearing 19,000, her combat prowess was outstanding.

For her, the most valuable skills were her battle techniques, including breathing methods and raw hand-to-hand combat.

With those, she could frequently overpower enemies beyond her level.

Even Lin Tian wasn’t confident he could beat her when she was fully in her battle mode; her relentless, close-range barrage would break anyone’s rhythm and keep them pinned down.

“Why are you staring at me like that, kid? Getting ready to take on the Demon Kings, and you think you can just gawk at me?”

The One-Eyed Owl’s voice suddenly cut through his thoughts.

A faint blush appeared on her ears, and she spoke irritably.

Lin Tian snapped back to attention, awkwardly coughing, “Ahem… Big Sis, you’re overthinking it. I was just assessing everyone’s combat readiness.”

“Assessing readiness? Then let’s get started!”

the One-Eyed Owl’s lips twisted into a grin, her expression turning wild.

She began cracking her knuckles, ready to start a fight.

Lin Tian hurriedly stopped her. “Hold on! Can you not be so fiery and explosive? You’re angrier than the Demon King of Wrath herself. I’ve already checked everything. With you here, dealing with those guys should be a breeze.”

The One-Eyed Owl stared blankly at Lin Tian as he walked away.

“You’ve already checked?”

Of course, Lin Tian offered no further explanation.

Just like before when he’d tried explaining things to Scarlett, Lin Tian knew that even if he clarified, she wouldn’t believe him.

After all, something like the System was beyond their comprehension.

Lin Tian then made his way toward Sword Qi Mountain by the Heart Lake.

Since Lin Tian himself had named these landmarks, they all had a distinctly Chinese style.

Ahead of him loomed a colossal mountain range, stretching over a hundred kilometers.

Majestic and towering, it was absolutely awe-inspiring!

However, right down the middle of the mountain was a gaping fissure—striking and unnatural.

The cut was too precise, clearly not a work of nature.

“Swoosh!”

“Boom!”

Suddenly, a fierce wave of sword energy, whipping up a raging gust, roared toward the mountain!

The rumbling echoed loudly in his ears.

Lin Tian looked up, spotting a silver-armored figure suspended high in the sky.

It was Alicenia.

She clutched the Ominous Blade in her hand.

That blast of sword energy had come from her, and this was clearly her training ground.

The fissure in the mountain was also her handiwork.

The mountain stood an average of ten kilometers tall and stretched twenty to thirty kilometers wide.

To cut from the summit to the base—just imagining the effort and power required was staggering.

Yet now, the cut extended almost entirely down, only a few hundred meters left before the entire mountain would be split in two!

The sight made it clear that the mountain was on the verge of being entirely bisected.

“Still not enough…”

Alice murmured coldly to herself, her gaze fixed on the fissure.

She prepared to fly in for another close-range strike.

Her practice wasn’t just about long-range magical sword attacks but also combined close-range and distance sword strikes to split the mountain.

“Boom!”

She plunged into the dark fissure and struck hard!

The mountain trembled!

Rocks were pulverized into dust, filling the air with a dense cloud that rose from the crevice.

“Swish, swish, swish!”

But soon, Sylph cleared the dust away.

Seeing the fissure deepen by several meters, Alice didn’t stop.

She continued to strike downward.

Her goal was to cut it open from top to bottom.

The deafening sounds of her relentless blows echoed throughout the area.

Lin Tian, watching from afar, couldn’t help but marvel, “Alright, I take back what I said—this one is far more determined than I’d thought.”

The mountain’s rock was made of exceptionally hard mineral, incredibly tough to cut through.

And yet, she was on the verge of cleaving it in two!

It was nothing short of incredible!
