From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 303

Chapter 303: Celeste’s Promise 1/2

TL: Sungmin

“Next, devour the Demon King of Gluttony,” Lin Tian said teasingly, looking at him. “Wrath won’t be of much use to you, but failing to absorb this one would be embarrassing.”

He was stating a fact.

Gobu Tian’s combat style leaned toward that of an assassin, requiring calmness during battle. Wrath had little value for him.

But Gluttony was different.

He could lurk in the shadows and silently devour corpses on the battlefield, rapidly increasing his power.

Of course, Gobu Kuang and Gobu Shan could benefit just as much.

Lin Tian extended his hand again, slicing Gluttony apart.

Thanks to Katheryn’s purification, there was no risk of poisoning.

Gobu Kuang and the others began devouring immediately.

This time, Gobu Tian’s luck finally turned around; he was the first to absorb Gluttony’s skill and successfully gained its power.

Next came Gobu Kuang, followed by Gobu Shan.

All three successfully acquired the skill, with plenty left over.

Having multiple skills was always better than fewer.

Lin Tian devoured the remaining Gluttony, though his luck wasn’t as good this time.

It didn’t matter much.

“Go practice and adapt to your new abilities,” he instructed. “There’s nothing major to handle for now, so feel free to do what you want. I’ll call on you when needed.”

For now, everyone’s strength had hit a bottleneck.

It was still far from sufficient to face the angels.

Lin Tian needed to find other ways to enhance their power.

At the very least, all the main members needed to reach the Great Demon King level.

…

“Let me go, you damn goblins! I’ll kill you all!”

“Please, I beg you, let me go! I’m just a lesser demon!”

“Ahhh!”

The Goblin Soldiers’ city square resounded day and night with Scarlett’s crazed screams.

She was bound to a pillar, her entire body restrained by a Horned Python Serpent.

Around her, countless goblins watched with cold, lecherous eyes.

The sight drove her to utter despair, on the brink of madness.

No amount of screaming brought help.

Nearby, Ladrick was also bound.

Due to the growing goblin population, they had constructed their own city for easier management.

Behind the square, in the palace, a massive Zerg Queen was pinned to the ground with giant spikes.

Ladrick cursed incessantly. “Stop screaming, you worthless piece of trash! Damn lesser demon, if not for you, would I have ended up like this?”

“How dare you speak! Didn’t you claim to have absolute confidence in defeating that goblin? And now?” Scarlett retorted, her bloodshot eyes glaring as she bared her teeth.

Her fury and despair reached new heights.

Ladrick fell silent, deeply regretful.

Had he not betrayed Nanavis, they would have had absolute confidence in defeating Lin Tian.

Even enduring Nanavis’ torment would have been better than becoming prisoners.

Finally, he muttered, “What could I do? Nanavis is dead! How could you expect me to defeat him? Wretched woman!”

Ultimately, it was Scarlett’s meddling that ruined the Uninhabited Zone.

“You dare insult me?! Ladrick, worry about yourself first!” Scarlett spat coldly.

She knew all too well what Lin Tian was capable of.

Ladrick shot back, “I’ll just be tortured for a while; he’ll get bored eventually. But you? Hahaha! Just imagining it makes my skin crawl. Isn’t that right, Goblin Queen?”

“You! You!” Scarlett’s face twisted in fear, like a child facing the terror of a needle.

She deeply regretted provoking Lin Tian.

Dying would have been better.

Muttering to herself, she said, “I was so arrogant and foolish… I should’ve known better when he saw through my identity.”

Ladrick flinched. “I almost forgot about that.”

The general belief that goblins were weak had led them both astray.

Even Demon Gods couldn’t pierce Scarlett’s disguise, and yet Lin Tian had.

“Hah… hah…”

Hearing Scarlett’s sobs, Ladrick sighed and said, “Stop acting like a coward; you’re disgracing us great Demon Kings. Don’t worry—when Demon God Beelzebub returns, he’ll definitely rescue us.”

“What?!”

Scarlett’s sobs abruptly stopped, replaced by overwhelming excitement.

She had almost forgotten—when the Demon God returned and found the Uninhabited Zone in chaos, he would undoubtedly come here!

“Wonderful! I’m saved! Hahaha!”

Watching her act like a lunatic again, Ladrick could only shake his head.

Of course, this was one of the reasons he remained so calm—he believed he hadn’t lost. After all, Nanavis was already dead. When the Demon God came to rescue him, he would be the true victor.

“Stay calm. That guy’s coming. Don’t let anything slip, or we’ll be killed…” Ladrick said.

Scarlett immediately shut her mouth.

In the distance, Lin Tian’s figure appeared.

He was here to deal with Scarlett and Ladrick. These two were not to be underestimated.

“Boss…”

As he walked through the goblin settlement, goblins everywhere lowered their heads and greeted him respectfully.

Lin Tian nodded slightly and approached the two prisoners. “How are you feeling? Is the treatment here acceptable?”

Scarlett’s face twitched. “You—”

Before she could finish, Ladrick cut her off hastily. “Shut up! Let me handle this. Good afternoon, Your Majesty! Thank you for your hospitality. Although, I must say, the Horned Python Serpent’s bindings are a bit tight. It’s hard to breathe.”

Slap!

A loud slap struck Ladrick’s face.

Lin Tian sneered in disgust. “Why do you always have to add drama for yourself? Do you really think I’m being generous? Hospitality, my ass!”

Ladrick’s rage simmered beneath the surface, but he held it in.

“Do you know the Dream Realm?” Lin Tian asked coldly.

Ladrick quickly answered, “Of course. That’s the ability of Winnie of Sloth. It’s incredibly effective against large numbers of soldiers. Don’t be fooled by her usual lazy and innocent demeanor—in her dreams, she can do anything! And it’s all incredibly twisted and brutal.”

During the wars of the past, anyone who died in Winnie’s dream met a gruesome fate, enduring inhuman torment.

Lin Tian smirked. “Good. Then let’s go have some fun in it.”

A massive black magic circle began to form beneath Lin Tian’s feet. Ancient runic symbols, intricate and dense, illuminated with precision.

Scarlett’s face contorted in disbelief. “What?! Winnie’s magic? How do you know it?!”

Realizing what was happening, she began to struggle desperately. “Wait, Your Majesty! You don’t need me to go in, right? My role is to be the Goblin Queen! Why—”

Before she could finish, she fell unconscious.

When the two of them opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a barren desert.

From above, Lin Tian’s thunderous voice echoed, as if descending from the heavens.

“Of course, it’s necessary. I’m here to give you a little shock therapy. Kekeke~”

If he didn’t break her spirit and make her submit entirely, how could she willingly serve as the “Goblin Queen” to improve the goblin collective?
