From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 281

Chapter 281: She Was Already Dumb, and You Still Had to Tease Her

TL: Sungmin

Seeing her stats, Lin Tian felt a touch of emotion.

When he first met her, Goblin Slayer still believed she was human.

Therefore, the system categorized her race as human.

This time, it was finally “Goblin.”

Then, he focused on her combat power.

Lin Tian’s expression remained unchanged. It was as expected; she was already at her limit.

Mastering so many world-class spells and wielding world-class magical equipment—being able to reach this level was already decent. Unfortunately, not everyone was a prodigy.

In this brutal and realistic world, Lin Tian felt that this was already quite good.

If Gobu Kuang and the others could master some world-class skills, they might reach a Demon King level of power.

After a trip to the Uninhabited Zone, Lin Tian was confident he could make it happen.

And with over half a year left, he was certain he could cultivate them to Great Demon King level.

Only then could they stand against the angels.

Then he looked over at Gobu Yue.

[Gobu Yue: Lv100

Equipment: Ancient Magic Stone Staff, Weslay’s Dark Robe, …
Overall: 14,999]

Faced with the overwhelming sight of “Special-class” littered all over, Lin Tian almost felt dizzy—so many!

“Special-class” was akin to world-class in terms of buff magic.

Above that, only God-class remained.

Since buff magic was unique, it couldn’t be compared to other forms of magic.

“Boss, what’s wrong?” Gobu Yue asked, puzzled by Lin Tian’s strange expression.

Lin Tian cleared his throat and returned to his senses. “Ahem, nothing. Little Yue, you’ve worked hard.”

But with that overall power nearing fifteen thousand, she was practically at the Demon King level.

And this was without any offensive skills.

Her stat points even surpassed his own! It was absolutely insane and left him baffled.

He carefully examined Gobu Yue’s attribute panel to see if something was off.

Clearly, Gobu Yue had devoured fewer genes than him.

Plus, she couldn’t rely on mating to improve.

[Wild Growth: Doubles acquired stats, growth rate far surpasses similar beings—God’s Blessing]

Seeing this skill, Lin Tian immediately understood. He hadn’t expected this little one to have an additional blessing from the gods!

However, the enigmatic nature of her titles only confirmed to Lin Tian that her origins were highly complicated.

At her core, Gobu Yue herself was already an unsolved mystery.

So there was no point digging further.

Lin Tian sighed. “It’s a pity, though. If you learned to fight, Yue, you’d definitely be unbeatable.”

“Huh? I-I-I… Boss, if you want, I can go learn right now!” Gobu Yue stammered in confusion.

Seeing her reaction, Lin Tian waved his hand. “No need, I was just joking. You’re already doing great as you are. Thank you.”

“Oh…” Gobu Yue’s cheeks turned pink, and she didn’t say anything more.

A warrior, an attacker—those roles required more than just talent and stats.

It also depended on personality and mindset.

Just one look at Gobu Yue, and it was obvious she wasn’t suited for a warrior’s path.

Like those “strong” types who forgive their enemies mid-fight—such a person was only given warrior potential by a blind fate.

They were just self-righteous, soft-hearted fools.

Lin Tian thought it over and decided it was best left alone. If Gobu Yue were a warrior, she might just end up letting her enemies go mid-battle.

Support role it was—perfectly fine for her.

“Hey, want to see my Doomsday again? It goes BOOM and feels amazing!” came a voice from beside him.

Gobu Yue’s eyes sparkled with admiration. “Yes! Yes! It’s just like watching fireworks, it’s so beautiful!”

Lin Tian chuckled, patting her head as he took a seat. “Alright, let’s see it.”

“Okay!”

Standing tall, Goblin Slayer lifted her staff and began to chant.

Her mind recalled the intricate magic circle, channeling her mana to trace it, layering five of them in sequence—this was a world-class spell.

The higher the magic, the more complex the circle.

The dense, meticulous symbols and patterns made them challenging to remember.

Reproducing the magic circle instantly in one’s mind, then using internal mana to carve it out, was one of the hardest parts of spellcasting.

So, Lin Tian had never actively tried to study magic.

He preferred the straightforward approach, cramming everything in at once without needing to think.

The system would send the information straight to his mind, embedding it thoroughly, or he’d acquire skills directly through Gene Devour.

“It’s coming!”

Goblin Slayer’s voice brimmed with anticipation. The bluish-purple gemstone on her staff radiated a vast surge of mana!

It poured into the magic circle, unleashing a blinding, explosive light!

“Boom!”

Another mushroom cloud, just like a miniature nuke, rose in the distance…

…

Goblin King City

Everything that needed testing had already been tested, and only the One-Eyed Owl and Alicenia passed as suitable.

Although Gobu Yue had also qualified, Lin Tian wasn’t about to take the risk of bringing her into battle.

She was his ace, the one he’d keep as his main strategist in reserve.

When he hit a future strength bottleneck, he could still pair with Gobu Yue to raise their level cap gradually and boost attributes for more combat power.

For the upcoming Uninhabited Zone, though, the others would be enough.

After all, he’d still have the Dragon Clan, the Dwarves, and the hero of Troy, Sara, on his side.

This time, he could open with firepower from his hybrid goblin army.

There were still millions of unlaid eggs from the Zerg Queen—each could hatch into a goblin with adult combat power above two thousand.

They only needed to consume a little flesh to evolve freely without level restrictions.

At level ten, they could become Goblin Heroes; by level twenty or thirty, they’d reach Goblin Overlord status.

This was the result of countless breeding efforts by Lin Tian.

“By the way, that Sara is also staying in the palace; I wonder if she’s made any progress in combat power,” Lin Tian mused.

Since he hadn’t paid much attention to her, he’d overlooked her while helping everyone else level up.

He’d only mentioned it to her briefly.

After all, she hadn’t been there long, and Lin Tian didn’t feel any attachment toward her.

He decided to call her in for a check.

…

Inside the Hall

Sara stood obediently, her exquisite face brimming with barely contained delight.

Lin Tian couldn’t help but ask, “You look unusually happy—anything going on?”

“Mmm… Just being summoned by His Majesty alone makes me very happy.”

Sara answered shyly.

To her, Lin Tian was nearly divine—a goblin who’d risen from utter weakness to become the sole ruler of an entire land.

What an accomplishment, what glory!

Glory, after all, existed to inspire others.

And so she looked at Lin Tian as if he were second only to a god.
