From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 302

Chapter 302: Return to the City! Devouring Skills!

TL: Sungmin

“It should still be inside the Palace of Gluttony. Even if he died outside, no magical beast would dare devour his corpse,” Ladrick said bitterly.

Hearing this, Lin Tian felt the weight lift from his heart. The most important thing was securing Sylph and Gluttony’s corpses.

Lin Tian turned his gaze to Winnie and began devouring everything.

The Dream Realm skill was undoubtedly one of the strongest abilities. Having it was infinitely better than not. However, it came with risks, so he had no intention of letting Gobu Kuang and the others learn it.

Those fools lacked imagination; if they ended up like Winnie and got counter-killed within their own skill, it would be disastrous. Only he could use it with confidence and boldness. After all, in this world, who could compare to the likes of the Desolate Emperor, Ye Fan, Qing’er, or Chu Feng? Their power systems would be invincible here.

Not to mention the divine system of Huaxia. For the people of this world, they hadn’t even seen gods, let alone imagined the power such entities could wield.

[Ding! Obtained skill: Mythic-Class Magic – Dream Realm.]

“Ugh…” Lin Tian spat out the remaining chunks of flesh and blood as the system’s voice echoed in his ears.

The taste of demons was revoltingly rancid. In the past, Lin Tian might have found it delicious, but now that his circumstances had improved, his tastes had grown more refined.

Seeing this, Ladrick was utterly shocked. “To think… to think you actually devoured a demon raw. Who is the real demon here? Foolish humans, gods, and even magical beasts consider us demons to be the most evil and terrifying beings in existence, yet this goblin is far more horrifying.”

The goblin before him was the real terror.

Lin Tian’s attention shifted to Nanavis. He sighed regretfully, “What a beauty. Such a pity.”

Her personality made it impossible to subdue her, even if he wanted to make her his subordinate. Without further hesitation, he began devouring her.

As the sounds of Nanavis’s flesh being torn apart echoed, the grievances Ladrick had suppressed for years finally found release.

“Kehe… I haven’t lost. No, I haven’t lost at all. My goal was achieved…” Ladrick muttered darkly to himself.

In the end, Nanavis died. This brought him immense satisfaction. He believed even Scarlett would be pleased by this outcome.

[Ding! Obtained Mythic-Class Magic – Ultimate Domination (with Invisible Magic Hands).]

Seeing the new notification, Lin Tian felt immense relief. His luck had been relatively good this time.

Unlike before, when even devouring low-level monsters yielded no skills, now he had acquired something valuable. However, Lin Tian worried whether having this skill might make him as arrogant as Nanavis. After all, power breeds arrogance.

With the ability to instantly kill anyone weaker than him, who wouldn’t become overconfident?

Of course, this only applied to opponents with lower combat power than himself.

[Ding! Devoured a Demigod x1! Progress to Godhood: 4/10.]

The system’s sudden notification left Lin Tian slightly stunned. “Was she a demigod too?”

“Indeed,” Ladrick explained, a little surprised. “She was the child of Beelzebub, the Demon God who controls the Uninhabited Zone, and a human. That qualifies her as a demigod.”

Ladrick was amazed. “I didn’t expect goblins to have a sense for divinity. Fascinating…”

Lin Tian didn’t respond. It seemed he’d simply gotten lucky that she turned out to be a demigod.

With this, only six more demigods were needed before he could ascend to become a demigod himself! The first goblin demigod since the dawn of creation—what would he evolve into then?

“Let’s go. We’ll retrieve Gluttony’s corpse and then head back,” Lin Tian said.

The group set off toward the Palace of Gluttony. The One-Eyed Owl carried Ladrick like a sack of potatoes. “Behave yourself. You’ll get your turn soon enough.”

…

When they reached the Palace of Gluttony, Lin Tian and the others stood outside. The surrounding area was a desolate wasteland, stripped bare by Gluttony, with even the grass and trees consumed. To the uninformed, it might as well have been a desert.

“Goblins?!”

As they approached, several Demon King-Class creatures emerged from inside, likely Gluttony’s subordinates.

Alice elegantly leaped forward and effortlessly slaughtered them all.

“Plop.”

The One-Eyed Owl casually tossed Ladrick to the ground. “Really, Alice! Why rush to kill them so quickly when no one’s competing with you?”

“My apologies. Next time, I’ll ask first,” Alice replied stiffly.

Her response left the One-Eyed Owl awkwardly scratching her head. “Actually, it’s fine. I was just saying.”

Lin Tian recovered the Demon King-Class creatures’ corpses as well. It was always beneficial for Gobu Kuang and the others to learn more skills.

The group soon entered the palace. The dim environment made everyone uneasy.

“Stay alert,” Lin Tian commanded, not letting his guard down.

As his gaze fell on the grand throne at the end of the hall…

The group finally let out a sigh of relief.

Gluttony, dressed in a full suit, lay twisted on the ground, his limbs contorted and his expression grotesque. Judging by his appearance, his death had been excruciatingly painful.

Ladrick sneered. “Don’t worry, he’s as dead as can be. The poison I fed him would’ve eaten through his guts.”

Lin Tian took a closer look and confirmed that Gluttony had indeed died a gruesome death.

Slap!

Without warning, Lin Tian gave Ladrick a backhanded slap. “You poisoned him so badly—how are we supposed to eat him now?” he scolded.

Ladrick stood dumbfounded for a moment. “I… I didn’t…”

“Shut up!” Slap! Lin Tian struck him again, unwilling to listen to any excuses. In truth, he just wanted to hit him.

The poison was potent, but since it came from a demon in Hell, the Holy Mother Katheryn could purify it. The corpse would still be consumable after purification.

With Gluttony’s body secured, they began their return to the Goblin Empire.

As they journeyed back, Lin Tian felt an unprecedented sense of freedom—spiritual freedom. The Uninhabited Zone was essentially under his control now. While it couldn’t be completely dominated yet, once he devoured the angels and ascended to demigod status, he would have the power to crush everything and unveil a brand-new world.

There would be no need for subtlety, caution, or slow development. Just pure, unbridled indulgence!

Lin Tian had walked a perilous path for so long. Now, he wanted to relish his triumph to the fullest.

Before they even reached Goblin King City, Gobu Yue, Gobu Kuang, and the others were already waiting to greet them, with a welcoming party that stretched dozens of kilometers. Yes, that far.

Various demi-humans and magical creatures also awaited their return, curious and eager. After all, the oppressive legends of the Uninhabited Zone and the demons’ reign weighed heavily on everyone.

“Look… they’re coming!”

A cry of excitement rippled through the gathered crowds of demi-humans and magical creatures.
