From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 346

Chapter 346: Bill’s New Request! Ambitious Vision!

TL: Sungmin

Noradoff quickly complied upon hearing the instructions.

The gathered powerhouses stood frozen, their expressions dark and unpleasant.

“What about that Pendragon woman? Are we really going to just let her be?” Perseus couldn’t help but ask.

The Desert Queen sneered, “She overestimated herself. If she dies, it’s well-deserved. It’s an excellent opportunity for us to divide up all the resources of the Northern Snowfields and their vast army of magical beast cavalry.”

After a moment of silence, the group reluctantly accepted this conclusion.

However…

Hercules spoke with a grave expression. “You all saw it. That goblin is undoubtedly a threat. We should unite our forces and annihilate them before their empire has a chance to form!”

“Agreed. We absolutely cannot allow another Satan to emerge on the Divine Continent! Such a disaster would be unimaginable,” Visawon said, the flesh on his aged face trembling.

The last worldwide calamity caused by magical beasts had been the doing of the Great Demon God Satan.

Perseus, seeing their reactions, confidently declared, “You’re all overthinking this. With the four of us, plus the magical beast army of the Northern Snowfields, handling a mere Goblin should be child’s play.”

Hearing this, the others began to feel the same.

After all, this was the united force of the five great empires—a far cry from the smaller Holy Alliance. It was the pinnacle of power on the Divine Continent, a force that even the gods would regard with caution.

A shadowy gleam flickered in the Desert Queen’s eyes. “That wretched Loael actually compromised with a Goblin? Once the Goblin is dealt with, we should carve up the Star Guild as well.”

“Indeed! But before that, we need to gather intelligence on the Goblin’s current power.” Hercules spoke with measured seriousness.

Even when a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses all its strength.

The others, however, paid little attention to this caution and were more focused on planning how to divide the Northern Snowfields’ territories and resources.

…

The new location of Goblin King City

Three days later.

Katheryn had already completed the setup of all the magic formations. With the Endless Holy Grail assisting, large quantities of manpower and resources were swiftly transported to the site.

The Goblin army, led by Gobu Jian, had about one million members remaining.

These one million goblins were mainly assigned to assist Scarlett in unlocking new racial groups and to care for the Ant Queen’s daily needs.

After all, with her massive body, she required an enormous amount of nutrients daily to produce eggs—at least a hundred tons of high-quality food.

Any other force would likely be unable to sustain her.

The transported individuals included former prominent figures among the magical beast demi-humans of the Empire, such as bunny girls, succubi, snakefolk, centaurs, and catgirls, among others.

Lin Tian personally ensured their transfer, as they were indispensable to the Empire.

Additionally, the dwarves accounted for the largest transportation expense.

Without them, constructing a brand-new Goblin Empire would have been impossible.

In the skies above…

As the teleportation magic formations flashed continuously, a sleek, jet-black super airship with an advanced technological design approached slowly.

The Sky Titan Beast Mk. II.

This upgraded version was not only equipped with turrets but had also been expanded in size.

Bill gazed at the location Lin Tian had chosen, nodding slightly in approval. “Not bad, not bad at all. Hahaha! This place is perfect—the mountains, the water, the abundant surrounding resources.”

Beneath the white clouds lay a boundless plain.

Rivers flowed toward the sea, brimming with endless vitality.

There were mountains as well, but for Lin Tian’s current forces, flattening them would be a trivial task.

With a sharp “whoosh,” Bill leaped from the airship toward Riverbend City below, opening a parachute and landing steadily.

At present, Riverbend City served as Lin Tian’s temporary base of operations.

Most villagers had already fled, leaving behind only some elderly people and a few orphaned children.

These children not only didn’t fear Lin Tian but even expressed a desire to join the magical beast faction.

“Kuang, how are those kids doing?” Lin Tian asked casually, sitting in the town square after finishing a feast of flesh and blood.

The children who had volunteered to join the magical beast faction were assigned to Gobu Kuang, Gobu Tian, and Gobu Shan for training.

They could become either apprentices or servants.

Lin Tian was curious to see how they would develop.

Gobu Kuang, having also eaten his fill, quickly replied, “I gave one of them a knife and told him to hunt a wild beast. If he succeeds, he’ll be my apprentice. If he fails, he’ll be my food. Heh heh.”

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow. “Oh? You’ve got the air of a strict master now.”

Of course, Gobu Kuang didn’t understand what he meant.

“Your Majesty! This location you’ve chosen is excellent, but we don’t have enough manpower. When will you start producing goblins?” Bill exclaimed as he landed in the square.

Although the dwarves numbered several hundred thousand, only twenty to thirty thousand were able-bodied workers. They were still just people and couldn’t work endlessly without rest.

“Master Bill? You’ve reminded me. I almost forgot. Once the Ant Queen arrives, we’ll begin Goblin production. You can take charge of the arrangements.”

“Producing ten million goblins should be enough to construct Goblin King City.”

As for the injured and crippled goblins left behind from the great battle of the old Goblin King City, they had been released into the Wilderness.

After all, that area still needed someone to guard it.

They couldn’t just be abandoned completely, especially with so many human groups around.

If any of them developed into a powerful force, it could still be troublesome.

Upon hearing this, Bill rubbed his hands together with a mischievous grin, as if he wasn’t concerned at all. “Heh heh, so, Your Majesty, since I’m helping build the new capital, is there any reward for me?”

This was the only thing he truly cared about.

“How about I give you a new set of kidneys? Or let you pick a consort from the Divine Continent? Any empire, any faction—take your pick.”

Lin Tian also grinned mischievously.

After all, everyone knew exactly what Bill had in mind.

But surprisingly, Bill didn’t want that. “What I want is the power of the Pureblood Dwarf Kingdom. We hybrid dwarves know nothing about the true history of dwarves. We also lack the methods for forging Sun-Class magical devices and God-Slaying magical devices. That’s truly a shame.”

“I see. Your ambitions are broader than I thought. Don’t worry—I’ll definitely obtain those things. After all, we still need you to forge our weapons. If everyone had a God-Slaying weapon, we could crush any Divine Pantheon with ease!”

Lin Tian’s eyes gleamed with anticipation as he spoke.

Hearing this, Bill finally relaxed. “No problem! Then I’ll start preparing to construct the capital.”

“Go ahead.”

After Lin Tian sent him off, the One-Eyed Owl by his side couldn’t hold back any longer. “Kid, what about my matter?”

She was undoubtedly referring to her father, Hercules.

“Don’t worry about it. We’ll meet him again soon. At that time, I’ll use the Dark Holy Word to question him directly.”

Lin Tian’s gaze burned as he stared into the distance.

But in the corner of his vision, he caught a reflection of several figures lurking in the forest outside the city.

It was undoubtedly scouts sent by those guys.

…

Ten or fifteen days had passed since Lin Tian arrived on the Divine Continent.

The Divine Strength Empire.

After hearing the scouts’ report, Hercules was filled with disdain. “A force of merely a few million people? I really thought they were some kind of super empire with tens of millions of troops! Turns out they’re just bluffing!”

His Divine Strength Empire had an army of ten million, all of them elite soldiers.

The War God Empire had nearly ten million as well, along with three million magical beast cavalry from the Northern Snowfields.

There were also two million Sandstorm Soldiers that the Desert Queen could lead out of the desert.

Add in some forces from the Sage’s City.

Twenty-five million elite soldiers in total—second only to the largest-scale war in the Divine Continent’s history.

And it must be noted that these were all elite soldiers, not the cannon fodder who marched into battle wearing nothing but cloth armor.

If it came to cannon fodder, they could produce as much as they wanted.

“Father, when should we take action?”

Noradoff, clad in armor with a blood-soaked red helmet, spoke sternly.

Standing on the castle balcony, Hercules smirked with disdain. “No rush. With such a small force, we can wait until after we carve up the Northern Snowfields. I bet that goblin will drop dead from fright at the sight of 25 million elite troops! Hahaha!”

“What!! Father, 25 million elite troops? Why send so many?”

Noradoff widened his eyes in disbelief.

That was the combined total of all the elite armies of the Divine Continent’s factions!

After all, Sage’s City didn’t have many people.

Even with the addition of the Star Guild, which wasn’t participating in the goblin crusade, it would still be that number.

The Star Guild had ten million adventurer members, but they were not under anyone’s command. Only a few thousand core members could be mobilized.

Hercules sneered, “I need to recover the face I lost to Gabriel. All of us are holding in our anger!”

Noradoff didn’t think much of it. “Then I’ll go drill the soldiers. I’m really looking forward to commanding an army of over 25 million! Hahaha!”

To them, a war of 25 million troops was unimaginably massive.

The logistics of feeding and mobilizing such a force posed challenges.

Unlike goblins, who were highly obedient and could survive on any nutritious food, human armies required careful management to avoid devastating plagues.

“Hmm, such a massive elite force would surely attract the attention of the Divine Pantheon. Don’t underestimate the power of us demigods, you damned fools…”

Hercules muttered to himself, his eyes brimming with arrogance.

He held little regard for the gods of the Divine Pantheon, including his own patron deity. He only offered his faith out of necessity, maintaining a facade of respect.

After all, he and his peers had long been qualified to ascend to godhood.

But the positions were all occupied.

Every day, they secretly hoped for the death of those gods.

Likewise, those gods remained wary of them.

…

Half a month passed.

What had once been the small towncity of Riverbend under Lin Tian’s control had transformed into a grand palace complex spanning over three kilometers.

Many other buildings had been erected around it. Tall structures filled the skyline, though they couldn’t be called skyscrapers.

In their understanding, there was no concept of skyscrapers. Buildings with two or three stories were already considered very tall.

Looking around, there were people constructing buildings, clearing land, transporting materials, and manufacturing resources—everything imaginable.

Grugia and Osius, with their massive forms, dismantled mountains as if they were playing with building blocks.

They then shaped the giant stones into forms suitable for constructing houses.

The process was incredibly satisfying, like playing a construction game.

The Succubus House, Bunny Girl Tavern, Centaur Clan settlements, and other structures had already been fully built.

Since everyone’s baseline strength far exceeded the average person on Lin Tian’s Earth in his previous life, they had managed to transform a 30-40 kilometer area into a flourishing town in just half a month.

Moreover, magical creatures and demi-humans had started arriving at the borders of the Uninhabited Zone. Some had already begun building settlements and tribal enclaves around the King City.

The value of land near the capital was unmistakably high.

In another half a month, the area would fully recover its former glory—perhaps even surpass it.

Lin Tian left the King City area and headed to the newly constructed Goblin Barracks.

This was where the Zerg Queen, Scarlett, the high-tier angel Nael, and the recently captured Pendragon were being held.

The Zerg Queen, massive as a mountain, loomed over the barracks like an enormous model.

The sight was awe-inspiring.

“Keep producing. I want fifty million soldiers. It’s time for you to evolve. When producing, lay only Fully Mature Eggs—don’t stop at a mere five million.”

Standing beneath the Zerg Queen, Lin Tian scolded her with irritation.

The One-Eyed Owl and Alicenia had already gone to check on Nael and Pendragon.

Upon hearing his demand, the Zerg Queen responded mechanically, “I… obey…”

In the past few days, she had already been forced to produce tens of millions of fully mature goblin eggs to support the empire’s construction projects.

But Lin Tian planned to make her produce tens of millions more in preparation for his game with Hercules and his ilk on the Divine Continent.

He also wanted to see if the Zerg Queen could evolve further.

If she could evolve to continuously produce fully mature eggs without interruption, it would be ideal.

After all, the most powerful trait of the magical insect race was their endless capacity for evolution.

This experiment was worth a shot.

The meaning of Fully Mature Eggs was straightforward.

The resulting hybrid goblins would emerge fully grown adults, bypassing the juvenile phase.

“There’s enough flesh and blood. Don’t tell me you can’t do it,” Lin Tian snapped, annoyed. The resources at hand were more than sufficient to sustain her endless production of fully mature eggs.

Although the Divine Continent’s resource industries weren’t fully developed yet, materials could be continuously transported from the human settlements governed in the Wilderness.

With Lin Tian’s breeding and farming techniques, the Wilderness had long since ceased being barren, transforming into a fertile and prosperous region.

The Zerg Queen said nothing. Deep within her massive, fleshy body, subtle changes had begun.

“How could this happen?! Why is this happening?!”

Suddenly, a mournful wail echoed from afar.

Lin Tian turned toward the sound. It came from Pendragon, who was huddled in her cage, clutching her head in agony.

Lin Tian had tormented her quite a bit over the past two days.

He thought she had been tamed, but now she was screaming again.

Pendragon crouched on the ground, trembling violently. Her wide eyes were fixed on the floor as she muttered, “An angel… a high-tier angel captured by goblins. This entire city… that enormous Zerg Queen! It’s all a goblin production factory! And in such a short time, a bustling metropolis was built from an empty plain!”

For her, it was all too incomprehensible.

For anyone, it would have been a dreamlike shock.

The most astonishing part was how even angels—those who had humiliated her faction not long ago—had become prisoners of the goblins!
