From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 326

Chapter 326: The Angel Army Arrives! Silence Reigns Over All!

TL: Sungmin

“This! Hercules, you’ve caused trouble this time! Even we might offend the gods because of this!”

The Desert Queen Fiya spoke angrily, shaking her sleeves in frustration.

Everyone wore grave expressions.

But in situations like this, there was no reasoning to be had.

This was the way of gods; you didn’t even have the right to negotiate in their presence.

Pendragon gritted his teeth and said, “Smash… shatter! This is infuriating! If they weren’t gods, I’d have cut them all down!”

Everyone felt dispirited.

They worried that even this could anger the gods of their own factions.

Hercules spoke helplessly, “Everyone, things have already come to this. In truth, we don’t have much to lose. It’s just dealing with some magical beasts. Even if we offend the gods, so what? On this Divine Continent, or even across the world, who can truly pose a threat to us?”

Hearing this, the group felt slightly reassured.

It was indeed true. They were already among the highest levels of power below the gods, commanding imperial forces of unparalleled strength.

They didn’t need to beg for anyone’s assistance.

And if it came to internal conflicts, the gods of their respective factions wouldn’t interfere.

“To be honest, there might be one threat. The Five Wicked Sages are trying to revive the Great Demon God Satan, but with their abilities, it’s impossible to break the gods’ seals.”

Visawon, the leader of the sages, spoke up.

Hell was under the control of demons like Lucifer and the demonic race, who were descended from angelic bloodlines.

They couldn’t truly be considered pure magical beasts.

The True God of magical beasts was someone else entirely.

It was the Great Demon God ‘Satan,’ mentioned by Visawon.

A being born from a magical beast growing step by step in power.

The first Ragnarok had been triggered by him, resulting in the deaths of countless Old Gods.

Ultimately, the new pantheon joined forces to slay him, cutting his body into five pieces and sealing each part separately.

Hercules dismissed it with a wave, his face indifferent. “That’s nothing. His body is sealed in different godly realms. The Five Wicked Sages don’t have the power to revive him.”

“I have some matters to attend to. I’ll be off. See you all later.”

After speaking, Loael left without hesitation.

Gabriel had already told them to wait until Heaven had slain the powerful magical beasts in the Wilderness before taking any further action.

…

At Heaven’s Entrance

Two radiant figures stood tall above the heavens.

Gabriel gazed downward at Goblin King City below, her eyes filled with confidence. “Everything is prepared. All that’s left is to cleanse these magical beasts for the Church.”

“Mm-hmm! Finally, I can avenge my sister Javier! Let the despicable Goblin King face judgment!” Michael eagerly added.

The two returned to Heaven.

Now, it was just a matter of time.

And time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two months had gone by. The great battle was imminent!

…

Inside Goblin King City
Two distinct forces—one bright, one dark—swirled like yin and yang above the city, intertwining and weaving together in the air.

It was an awe-inspiring sight.

One side emanated the aura of magical beasts, while the other was the aura of over a hundred million holy-aligned goblins.

Lin Tian stood in the sky above the military city, his gaze sharp as a blade. “Open the gates! Form ranks!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Goblins as numerous as the sea filled the entire military city.

The movement was earth-shattering as they began their preparations.

The Gate of Heaven would open in just one day. Formations had to be arranged in advance, or even the largest army would be annihilated in an instant.

The troops had to be divided into platoons, their ranks orderly.

If they all stood together in a dense crowd, the enemy’s wide-area attacks would obliterate them entirely.

It was akin to ancient siege warfare, where even an army of 100,000 inside a city wouldn’t dare counterattack if surrounded.

Formation was crucial.

Angels specialized in large-scale AOE attacks.

Alicenia stood atop the city walls, commanding with imposing authority. “Ten thousand to a unit! Space them three hundred meters apart!”

This arrangement ensured each platoon could withstand at least five attacks.

If a high-tier angel struck, the entire unit might be wiped out instantly.

But it would still be worth it to force the enemy’s strong fighters to expend a skill.

There were a total of ten thousand platoons of ten thousand troops each.

In addition, the demon race and fifty million conscripted regular magical beasts and demi-humans had joined their forces.

Among the conscripted magical beasts and demi-humans were elemental types such as the ‘Thunderbird Tribe,’ the ‘Magma Beasts,’ and the ‘Venomous Ghost Spiders.’

The angels had no resistance to their attacks. If hit, they would take full damage.

Most importantly, many of these creatures could fly.

If they couldn’t fly, they would become mere playthings for the angels.

Live targets.

Even among the holy-aligned goblins, after the first ten million, the rest had evolved wings under the influence of insect-like traits.

These wings, resembling beetles, were covered in highly defensive outer shells.

“Humph, humph, just waiting for you to arrive. My ingredients for evolving into a demigod…”

Lin Tian gazed at the sky, his eyes filled with ferocity as he spoke.

He had waited long enough.

Finally, it was within reach.

This battle was as good as won, for he could evolve during the fight!

His strength would grow incomparably powerful, and all of this had already been foreseen in the Life Simulation System—clear as day.

“Shua!”

Suddenly, a rift tore open beside him.

Lucifer emerged slowly, his face full of anger. “You dare tamper with Hell’s… This…!”

Before he could finish, his words were abruptly cut off.

Around him, an endless sea of goblins and magical beasts filled the space, as if enveloping him completely.

It felt like a person sinking to the ocean floor, looking up at the surrounding waters.

The entire space was saturated with magical beasts, an overwhelming and shocking sight.

Lin Tian’s lips curled into a slight smile. “Everything’s ready. Are you?”

This time, Lucifer could no longer remain calm. With disbelief in his voice, he muttered, “This formation and scale… It’s already enough to slay gods…”

Of course, killing a Main God would be difficult.

But killing an ordinary True God was entirely possible.

An angel could kill at most ten thousand in one strike—they didn’t have limitless power. At most, they could unleash twenty or thirty skills before exhausting themselves.

When the sheer number of magical beasts caused a qualitative shift, it became utterly terrifying.

“My demon army is almost ready too. Let’s summon them now and have her arrange the formations,” Lucifer said, glancing at Alicenia.

In the past, the angels under his command had always dominated enemies with overwhelming power, never needing tactics or formations.

Specialized tasks, however, were best left to specialists.

But Lin Tian refused. “Don’t rush. Your demon army, including yourself, must hide in Hell tomorrow and wait for the right moment to launch a full-scale assault. If you reveal yourselves now, it will only alert the angels.”

Lucifer was momentarily stunned, then nodded. “You have a point.”

His expression darkened again. “What about the fruit of the Tree of Hell? How did you manage to take all of it? You even cut off part of the tree itself! This is an affront to me!”

“Don’t make such a fuss. I’m helping you conquer Heaven. Do you still need that thing afterward?”

Lin Tian no longer feared Lucifer as he once did.

His tone now carried a hint of defiance.

Before him stood an army of 150 million, meticulously selected and overwhelmingly powerful—enough to crush any faction on this continent!

Once the newest perfect variant goblins emerged, they could obliterate any divine pantheon!

Why should he fear anyone?

Lin Tian’s current combat strength approached 30,000. While he couldn’t defeat Lucifer outright, he could escape if needed.

Hearing this, Lucifer dared not express his anger, though he remained displeased. “Hmph! Then what about the remaining Demon Fruits? Give me a few. I need to cultivate some top-tier high demons to ensure victory in this battle.”

He had gone to gather more fruits himself, only to find them all stolen.

That was why he had emerged to question Lin Tian directly.

But Lin Tian shrugged. “I ate them all. Sorry about that. If you’d asked earlier, there might’ve been some left.”

Of course, this was a lie.

Lucifer’s face grew grim. The current situation had completely overturned his perception of goblins. He didn’t dare use Dark Holy Word to control Lin Tian and test the truth.

He sighed reluctantly. “I’ll give you credit for being capable enough to break my barrier. Fine, see you tomorrow.”

With that, he left the goblin military city and returned to the Hell Rift.

“According to the Life Simulation, evolving into a demigod is incredibly strong…”

Lin Tian’s scarlet eyes gleamed in the dim light.

Alicenia, the One-Eyed Owl, and the others gazed at the stormy skies.

They were waiting for the battle to begin.

Late in the night, time ticked by, second by second.

At 12:59:50, 51, 52, 53…

In the Goblin King’s Palace, Lin Tian and his people were fully armed, waiting for the Gate of Heaven to open.

The sheer number of soldiers was overwhelming. Even though the military city was vast, their formations covered the entire King City after being arranged.

It felt like being submerged deep under the sea, an awe-inspiring sight.

At this moment, Alicenia’s sword gleamed with a chilling sharpness.

The One-Eyed Owl had donned her armor and knuckle guards. Gobu Kuang and the others exuded boundless fighting spirit.

Sara was ready to summon the Three-Life Demon Armor at any moment.

Gobu Yue and Katheryn, along with the other support units, stood at the rear, their eyes fixed on the skies. For many of them, this was their first time participating in such a large-scale battle.

Nervous sweat dripped from their palms.

Previously, they had been limited to logistics. Now, they were stepping onto the frontlines.

As for the dwarves and dragons, Lin Tian had left it to their discretion whether to join the battle.

After all, this was a fight with an extremely high casualty rate.

Grugia and his group, meanwhile, remained focused on researching the Titan God-Making Project.

Celeste, being a demon herself, had returned to Hell to avoid alerting the angels and prompting immediate countermeasures.

“It’s midnight. It’s officially the next day. Will they come?”

The One-Eyed Owl, her expression solemn, gazed through the dense ranks of magical beasts at the dark, oppressive night sky.

Tonight’s moon was extraordinarily dim.

So dim it felt suffocating.

Lin Tian also stared upward. If the Gate of Heaven opened, the radiant holy light would be visible immediately.

But alas, it did not.

…

Heaven

In the plaza of the Angel Castle, rows upon rows of angels in gleaming silver armor stood in perfect formation, exuding an aura of solemn divinity and majesty.

Gabriel, seated at the rear of the army, appeared to be dozing.

“Your Highness, the Gate of Heaven can be opened now, we…”

Michael whispered playfully as she leaned toward the grand throne.

Her demeanor was mischievous and childlike.

Gabriel, stirred by the sound, opened her eyes but showed no anger. Instead, she declared, “We angels do not launch surprise attacks at night. At the break of dawn, we shall become the first rays of light that illuminate the heavens and earth…”

Her voice rang with power and reverence, shaking the hearts of all who heard it.

The Angel Army stomped in unison, their sound like rolling thunder, then stood at ease.

Michael pouted in disappointment. “Really? Aww, I got so excited just now. I thought we’d charge out the moment the time came.”

“Enough of that. You’re the Left-Wing Archangel. Don’t act like a child. We’re about to face the most brutal of magical beasts—the Goblin King…”

Gabriel’s eyes burned with fury and determination.

The memory of Javier’s death filled her with an unshakable anger.

They had slain countless magical beasts, demons, and enemies in the past, but never had they encountered one that could grow stronger through devouring and plundering like this.

It was savagery incarnate.

Michael, however, dismissed the seriousness entirely. “Tsk, tsk, I’m over 7,000 years old, you know. I’m not a child.”

Many angels here were over 10,000 years old and had fought in wars against demons.

But Michael’s talent was extraordinary. After being chosen by Jehovah to become an angel, she had quickly evolved into a High-tier Cherub.

She wielded a powerful, exclusive Mythic-Class Artifact: the Scales of Good and Evil, a gift from Jehovah.

Just as Dark Holy Word had been taught to Lucifer by Jehovah, rather than acquired through the Demon Fruit, Michael’s Scales had divine origins.

The Scales of Good and Evil could assess whether a being was good, just, or wicked, then mete out punishment or rewards accordingly.

If one was good and just, Michael would bestow blessings upon them.

If one was wicked, the scales would tip, ensuring their strength could never exceed Michael’s for the skill’s duration.

No matter what techniques or attacks were used, Michael could neither be defeated nor harmed.

This ability often lasted a full hour.

In a battle between divine beings, even a single instant could decide victory. An hour was overwhelmingly decisive.

“Goblin King Lin Tian… your judgment is at hand!!”

Gabriel’s voice trembled with anger as she rose from her throne.

“Shua!”

Her helmet snapped into place, signaling readiness for battle.

Six pairs of pure, immaculate wings unfurled behind her, their motion cutting through the air as she descended before the assembled Angel Army.

She stopped before a massive golden gate.

With a single push, the Gate of Heaven would open.

“The time has come… Follow me, and let us judge all things.”

Boom!

The gate swung open.

Gabriel’s radiant golden eyes released the first beam of divine light into the mortal realm.

…

Goblin King City

Lin Tian and his allies had remained vigilant through the night. Beneath the darkness, a beam of light pierced the horizon, dazzling and brilliant.

Gobu Kuang stretched his stiff body and muttered in confusion, “Is it dawn?”

“No, it’s them. Everyone, prepare for battle!!”

Lin Tian leaped several times, landing atop the palace’s tallest spire. He stared intently toward the horizon and shouted.

As the Gate of Heaven opened,

The radiant holy light slowly blossomed,

Like a sunrise breaking over a mountain, tearing apart the night sky and heralding the dawn.

Hummm!

A celestial hymn began to resonate!

It was as though angels brought their own divine background music upon their arrival.

The world seemed to slow to one one-hundredth of its normal speed, and all sound ceased.

Even the sound of breathing became unnaturally clear, and the pounding of hearts rang like thunder.

The pressure was overwhelming.

When the Gate of Heaven fully opened, its brilliance was like the blazing sun at noon, impossible to gaze upon directly.

The rising sun on the horizon paled in comparison, dim and insignificant.

It was as if it dared not compete for glory.

The Angel Army… had arrived!
