From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 351

Chapter 351: Don’t Kill Her, She’s a Gift for the Boss!

TL: Etude

The battlefield echoed with the frenzied laughter of the mixed-blood goblins as they charged forward!

They clashed head-on with the elite human soldiers, forming two chaotic currents of battle!

Perseus looked on with utter disdain. “Just a bunch of goblins. Kill your way through and take back Hercules!”

None of them had expected that Hercules would actually lose to a heavily wounded demigod!

By all logic, the higher the concentration of divine blood, the stronger one should be.

Yet today, that universally accepted rule had been completely overturned.

As the army advanced,

The knights of the Divine Strength Empire radiated arrogance. “What a joke. We thought we were here to take down some Great Demon King or a Demon God-level being, but it turns out it’s just goblins? Hahaha!”

Right in front of the speaker, a Demon Goblin with wings stared at him with a piercing gaze.

“What are you looking at? Go die!”

The knight’s face twisted into a savage grin as he raised his longsword and slashed down!

“Crack!”

To his shock, the Demon Goblin caught the steel blade with its bare hands!

With a slight exertion of force, it ripped the sword away and countered with a single swing!

“Slash!”

A jet of blood arced several meters high from the knight’s throat, dyeing the vision of dozens of people around him red!

His body and head separated instantly!

“Aaaahh!”

Several of the weaker-willed soldiers screamed in terror, unable to believe that a mere goblin had instantly killed one of them!

Then, like a tidal wave, the Goblin Army crashed upon them!

Screams, splattering blood, and the sounds of flesh being torn apart intertwined in a gruesome symphony!

The so-called elite human soldiers were utterly worthless against them!

Perseus’ eyes widened in shock. “Why… why are our soldiers losing to goblins?!”

The battlefield showed a one-sided massacre—each goblin was effortlessly killing two to three human soldiers!

The gap in power was crystal clear!

At the front lines, Noradoff and the others were struggling more and more. Though they could easily slaughter the mixed-blood goblins,

The goblins could break through their defenses!

That was the deadliest part.

If the enemy couldn’t penetrate their defenses, it wouldn’t matter if there were a hundred million goblins.

But if they could, then even ten thousand or a hundred thousand would become a deadly nightmare.

And there were fifty million goblins on this battlefield!

“Damn beasts! AARGH!”

Noradoff found himself completely surrounded by goblins—Demon Goblins, Defense Goblins, and Centaur Goblins swarmed around him in overwhelming numbers.

They were the worst possible match-up for him.

The Defense Goblins tanked his attacks.

The Centaur Goblins harassed and dragged him down.

The flying Demon Goblins swooped in at the perfect moments to strike.

This strategy wasn’t just something Alicenia had taught them.

It was ingrained in their genes.

They were born knowing how to fight like this.

Even with 20,000 battle power, Noradoff was already covered in blood. “This isn’t good. I need to retreat and get healed!”

He had already killed over ten thousand goblins, but if he delayed any longer, his wounds wouldn’t just be a matter of breaking his defense—he would be worn down and killed outright.

However—

The moment he turned around, his face froze in horror!

“How… how could this be?!”

Terror flooded his mind in an instant!

At some point, without realizing it, he had been slowly herded and lured away from the human army’s defensive lines by the goblin horde!

What an insidious strategy!

“Kehehehe~ Flesh filled with power…”

The goblins surrounding him, each one grotesquely unique in shape, grinned so widely that their mouths stretched to their ears.

The scene was suffocating with despair.

Noradoff shouted desperately, “Uncle Perseus! Help me!”

In the distance—

Perseus, too, had been tricked into the depths of the Goblin Army by the same pulling strategy.

Around him, countless goblins filled the battlefield, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Even as a god, he couldn’t immediately break free from this encirclement.

The Defense Goblins held the front lines, preventing him from wiping out large numbers at once.

If he tried to fly, the sky was swarming with Demon Goblins.

In aerial combat, he had no footing to maneuver. He could only use magic attacks, but expending massive amounts of energy just to kill goblins was a terrible trade-off.

This tactical entrapment was so despair-inducing that even Perseus was starting to panic.

“Aaah! Uncle! Help me, Uncle! I don’t want to die! Father! Where is my father?!”

From deep within the endless sea of goblins, Noradoff’s screams of agony rang out, echoing over and over!

It sent chills down the spine!

As his stamina ran out, he could only watch as goblins sank their teeth into his flesh!

Countless goblins swarmed over his massive frame.

Like starving beasts, they piled on top of him, layer after layer, completely burying his entire body.

In his final moments, his eyes were filled with nothing but despair and terror—gone was his former confidence.

In just a few seconds, the goblins that had covered him scattered away.

All that remained was a single set of armor, still drenched in sticky, glistening blood.

Noradoff had vanished from existence, as if he had never been there at all.

Perseus could sense that Noradoff was dead, but there was nothing he could do about it. He gritted his teeth and growled, “Damn it! Why are these goblins so strong?! Even an Overlord Variant should only be about as powerful as a tenth-tier monster!”

A tenth-tier monster had only two to three thousand battle power at most.

This entire Goblin Army was made up of Overlord Variants, yet because they belonged to Lin Tian’s faction, their upper limits far exceeded what any ordinary goblin could ever hope to reach.

That was why they were so terrifyingly strong.

At the same time—

The encirclement tactics were also being used against the Desert Queen, Visawon, and the other sages.

It was only a matter of time before they were worn down and killed.

The elite human soldiers were dying at a rate visible to the naked eye!

The goblins could not only easily slaughter them, but they could immediately devour their flesh to restore themselves.

With their massive bodies, Overlord Variants could easily devour an entire human in a single sitting.

…

On the city walls

“Thud.”

The One-Eyed Owl tossed Hercules, whose body was 80% shattered, onto the ground.

She spoke casually, “Do whatever you want with him.”

She had handed him over to Lin Tian because she knew that his methods would ensure that this guy suffered a fate worse than death.

The Great Demon Kings in the city behaved themselves because of this very reason. Even if they found money on the streets, they had to turn it in to the Three Tyrants of the District—Gobu Kuang, Gobu Tian, and Gobu Shan.

The reason? Fear of falling into Lin Tian’s hands.

The punishment he inflicted was far more painful and horrifying than mere death.

Of course, in Goblin King City, anyone who found money didn’t actually have to hand it over. But after relentless conditioning, even the most savage creatures had been indoctrinated into upholding the virtues of righteousness, honor, wisdom, and integrity.

Lin Tian smirked. “Well, I guess we just got ourselves another pet, huh? What do you think, Pendragon?”

After speaking, he glanced behind him.

Crouching pathetically behind Gobu Kuang, Gobu Tian, and Gobu Shan was a small, weak, and disheveled figure—Pendragon.

She stared at the dying Hercules and the merciless slaughter of the Allied Forces.

Once again, just like before, she dropped to her knees, her eyes glued to the ground!

She clutched her ears!

She didn’t dare to look or listen to the horrors unfolding before her!

“How could this happen?! How could this happen?! What kind of monsters are you?!”

Pendragon’s emotions completely collapsed, and she burst into hysterical sobs.

Once, she had lived a life of absolute privilege, standing just below the supreme ruler and above all others.

Now, she had lost everything!

“It’s all my fault! Why did I have to provoke these goblins?! If I had just stayed neutral like that bastard Loael, none of this would have happened! It’s all my fault! Aaaahhh!”

The more she thought about it, the more she felt her mind unraveling. She clawed at her own scalp in despair.

First, she had witnessed angels being captured.

Then, in mere moments, a massive city had risen from thin air.

Now, the entire Allied Army was falling apart like paper, and even Hercules had been crippled by a mere subordinate of a goblin!

At the sound of Lin Tian’s voice,

Hercules’ expression shifted drastically. “Pan… Pendragon? What happened to you?!”

The once arrogant and insolent girl had become so utterly pathetic!

That damn goblin from the Wilderness—he was truly a nightmare!

“Quick! Tell me how the army is doing! Goblins… and you, you bitch! Don’t get cocky! Our army will definitely… cough cough cough!”

Hercules grew more agitated the more he spoke, until he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His injuries were far too severe.

But for a demigod of his level, death was not so easily achieved—unless his heart or head was completely destroyed.

Pendragon kept her head low, her pupils trembling. “Heh… hehehe… You’re still so naive! You couldn’t even beat a single one of their subordinates! What a joke! ‘The strongest demigod’? Hah!”

“You! What did you just say, Pendragon?! Don’t forget the day you got your ass kicked by a goblin!”

Hercules snapped furiously.

She actually dared to talk to him like that?! In the past, no matter how arrogant and disrespectful Pendragon had been,

She would never have spoken to him like this!

But Pendragon suddenly let out a hollow laugh—a laugh that sounded like she was mocking both herself and him. “An army? You call that an army? Are you deaf? Haven’t you heard your son screaming in agony? The army has already been almost completely devoured by the goblins!”

“What?! What did you say?! Impossible! You’re just trying to mess with me!”

Hercules’ entire body trembled, wanting to get up and see for himself, but he couldn’t even move.

He refused to believe it—he thought she was just trying to provoke him.

Pendragon continued, “Let me tell you something. Try not to piss yourself. Hahaha… Do you remember how Gabriel swaggered into our territory, declaring he was going to kill the leader of the Wilderness monsters? Guess what? Do you know who that ‘monster leader’ was?”

“Thump!”

Hercules felt as if a knife had pierced his heart—his entire body froze in disbelief. “N… No… Impossible!”

Pendragon laughed even harder, her mind descending deeper into madness and despair. “That’s right! It was him! And guess what? Gabriel is dead! He even captured dozens of angels! Can you believe it? The goblins we looked down on the most… turned out to be a force that can slaughter us like cattle!”

The more she thought about it, the more her sanity crumbled. She laughed uncontrollably, spiraling into hysteria and endless despair.

And, of course—

Hercules fell into despair as well. “You… You were that monster leader?! Then that means… you killed Gabriel?! That kind of being… How could he possibly be killed?!”

Even thinking back on his past encounters with Gabriel, he still felt fear creeping into his bones.

No wonder.

No wonder even his own daughter had surpassed him in power.

The one she followed was none other than the strongest monster since the Demon God Satan himself.

Such a being… and he had actually deluded himself into thinking he could fight it!

“Kehehe… How did I kill him? It was simple. I didn’t even need to lift a finger.”

Lin Tian stood in front of Hercules, staring down at him as if looking at a pile of dog shit.

His gaze was filled with nothing but contempt.

Hercules’ mind raced, and he hurriedly spoke, “My background is Zeus! The Olympus Divine Pantheon! If you let me go now, we can pretend none of this ever happened, alright? We can even coexist peacefully… After all, she is my daughter too!”

Now, at last, he knew fear.

He tried to use a mix of threats and negotiations, hoping that Lin Tian would have some hesitation.

However—

Deep down, he knew he had no leverage. After all, because of what happened with Gabriel, the Divine Pantheon had already refused to aid him, declaring that no matter what happened, they would not intervene.

“A god? Then pray. Pray and see if your god will show up to save you. Heh… I already gave you people a chance. If you had been as sensible as the Star Sanctuary, none of this would be happening. Hmph.” Lin Tian spoke with open disdain.

He did not fear divine intervention.

The Covenant of the Gods restricted them—if any Divine Pantheon intervened in mortal affairs, the others would immediately take action to counterbalance it.

If a god recklessly killed a mortal in the current era, it would set off alarm bells for every other power.

That was why, no matter what actions they took, the gods avoided direct involvement, always treading carefully.

If they weren’t cautious, they wouldn’t be able to detect mortals who could potentially threaten their authority in time.

Thus, every Divine Pantheon monitored each other, ensuring that no one acted rashly.

The only time a god could descend and personally intervene was when their entire faith was being exterminated—like Heaven had been.

But if a god ever descended just to kill a single person, such an event would be recorded in history forever, never forgotten.

The impact of such a thing would be catastrophic.

Any powerful enough beings would always be extremely cautious in their growth.

After all, gods were not omniscient nor omnipotent. They couldn’t just see through everything or foresee the future.

They were simply beings with higher combat power.

Upon hearing this, Hercules fell into absolute despair. He never imagined that even the gods wouldn’t be able to help him. “Goblin… What do you want? I’ll give it to you! Just… please… call off this war! We surrender!”

“Heh. What can you possibly give me? From the beginning, I never even considered you people as a threat.”

Lin Tian felt irritated, turning to look over the battlefield from the city walls.

More than twenty million elite human soldiers had already been slaughtered.

Perseus had activated his War God Domain, summoning twelve undying guards within it.

But it was useless.

The goblins simply employed the same encirclement tactics,

Isolating the undying guards one by one.

Separating Perseus from his own reinforcements.

Goblins were weak in everything—except for their sheer, overwhelming numbers.

“No! I won’t accept this! Father! Father, help me!”

Perseus’ body was covered in wounds, with chunks of flesh missing where the goblins had gnawed through his skin. His stance was unsteady, and his entire body shook!

He turned his desperate gaze toward Mount Olympus.

But unfortunately—

The gods had no clairvoyance.

No matter how much he prayed, they could not hear him.

The hidden divine scouts lurking nearby refused to intervene in mortal warfare.

After all, it was just a demigod dying—something utterly insignificant.

To beings that had lived for tens of thousands of years, children were far too replaceable.

As Perseus’ cries faded into nothingness, his entire body collapsed to his knees, as if he had completely given up.

“Come on, then! Come on, you fucking beasts! You’ll all die miserable deaths!”

No matter how much he struggled, there were simply too many goblins.

No matter how many he killed, he could never finish them all off.

“Fresh, delicious flesh!”

“Kehehehe, demigod meat!”

A tsunami of goblins swarmed forward,burying Perseus beneath their endless numbers.

At the same time—

The Desert Queen cowered behind the remaining Sandstorm Soldiers. “Go! Go! Why can’t you even stop goblins?! Useless trash!”

“This woman is really beautiful. Should we save her for the boss?”

“Yeah, everyone, don’t kill her! She’s a rare treasure for the boss!”

“No problem! Hahaha!”

The goblins leered at her, their hungry and predatory gazes sending chills down her spine.

The arrogance on her face had completely disappeared—replaced by pure terror.
