From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 354

Chapter 354: Loael’s Identity: The Leader of the Old God Nirvana Organization!

TL: Sungmin

“Damn it, this map has everything—even places where gods frequently appear and their secret bases—but there’s no sign of the Pureblood Dwarf Kingdom’s location, not even a single clue…”

Lin Tian stared at the parchment scroll, his expression darkening.

If that was the case, then the situation was far from optimistic.

It meant that finding the location of the Pureblood Dwarf Kingdom would take a long time.

Two months—he had no idea if that would be enough.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions grew serious.

Bill sighed heavily. “What do we do now? Given how even gods suppress and erase traces of the dwarves, they must be hiding somewhere even a god can’t find!”

“This is getting tricky. Intelligence gathering seems to be our group’s biggest weakness.”

One-Eyed Owl glanced around at the others, sighing.

In the past, Gobu Tian could at least act as a scout and gather information.

But at best, that kind of scout was just an errand runner, with no real investigative ability.

Lin Tian turned his gaze toward Hercules lying on the ground and ruthlessly stomped on his arm. “Tell me! Where is the Pureblood Dwarf Kingdom?”

“Crack—”

The sound of bones fracturing echoed sharply!

A wave of intense pain surged through Hercules’ brain like an electric shock.

He couldn’t help but scream in agony, “Ah! I… I don’t know! The Pureblood Dwarves were wiped from the stage of the Divine Continent centuries ago!”

“They weren’t completely exterminated?” Lin Tian pressed further.

Hercules hastily replied, “They shouldn’t be. There was a rumor once… someone claimed to have seen an enormous fortress, and it was likely the Dwarf Kingdom.”

“Someone saw it? Then why didn’t you track them down and investigate?”

One-Eyed Owl interrupted coldly, suspecting that this guy was lying.

Hercules shook his head. “By the time we heard about the rumor, the person who discovered it—and their entire village—had already turned to ash…”

This brutal world was nothing like the stable and peaceful modern age.

Villages not only had to deal with food and clothing shortages but also had to guard against bandits and raiders. A village that had thrived peacefully for a hundred years…

Could be wiped out overnight, its people captured as slaves.

With this, Lin Tian didn’t press the matter further. “This is turning out to be an even bigger problem than I expected…”

“Goblin King, it’s a pleasure to see you again~”

At that moment, several figures effortlessly leaped onto the city walls, landing not far from Lin Tian and the others.

It was none other than Loael and the adventurers from the Star Sanctuary.

Lin Tian frowned. “You? What do you want?”

At his words—

“I never expected His Majesty’s strength to far exceed my imagination. To think you defeated Hercules, known as the strongest demigod, along with numerous other top-tier beings of the Divine Continent.”

As Loael spoke, she signaled to the surrounding adventurers, who all bowed respectfully.

She was immensely relieved at the choice she had made earlier!

Pendragon, the Desert Queen, and Hercules looked as if they had swallowed shit!

The Desert Queen even spat venomously, “You bitch! Did you know something and keep it from us just to set us up?!”

She had been planning to take out the Star Sanctuary while she was at it.

Looking back now, she felt utterly ridiculous.

Hercules, on the other hand, suddenly brightened, his eyes gleaming. “A Star-Class Adventurer?! Please! Please save us, Lady Loael! I’ve always respected you!”

Every Star-Class Adventurer possessed power on par with his own.

Though it wasn’t a certainty, the trials required to reach Star-Class were enough to prove that they were absolute hidden powerhouses.

Loael, however, refused him without hesitation, her voice firm and righteous. “Apologies, but I’ve chosen neutrality before. Now, I choose to stand with the Goblin King.”

She had thought that by showing goodwill, she could win favor with Lin Tian.

However—

Loael suddenly noticed that Lin Tian’s expression had turned frighteningly cold. His gaze was as sharp as a blade, fixated on them.

She stiffened slightly in fear. “Ah… Right! Goblin King, we’re here to celebrate your victory. We’re sorry we arrived too late to be of any help…”

With that, she motioned to the adventurer beside her.

Barcelona, meanwhile, was completely dumbfounded as he looked behind them. “By the gods… When did such a thriving super city appear?!”

The other Star-Class Adventurers were just as astonished.

After receiving Loael’s signal, they quickly snapped out of their shock. One of them stepped forward, presenting an exquisitely crafted box.

Taking a few steps forward, he bowed and offered it.

Lin Tian impatiently flipped open the box—inside lay a Sun-Class magical device, a shortsword.

Its name: Dragon God’s Fang.

Barcelona, still bowing, had a smug look in his eyes. He figured these upstart bumpkins from the Wilderness had probably never seen a Sun-Class magical device before.

Strength alone didn’t mean much—surely their knowledge was still limited.

Then—

“Smack!”

A sudden force struck his hand, knocking Dragon God’s Fang to the ground.

Barcelona staggered back several steps in shock. “Your Highness, why?!”

As he looked up, he saw Lin Tian’s eyes overflowing with killing intent!

One-Eyed Owl, Alice, and the others were the same!

The atmosphere instantly became tense, so oppressive that it felt like it was suffocating everyone.

Lin Tian cast a disdainful glance at the magical device. “I thought it was some kind of treasure, but in the end… just this piece of trash? If you can’t satisfy me, hmm…”

A few short sentences—

Yet they hung over Loael and the others like a razor-sharp blade, ready to take their lives at any moment!

“Haha, yes, that’s it! Don’t think you’ll get a good ending! This is too satisfying! Haha!”

The Desert Queen burst into laughter at the scene, her voice sultry and full of delight.

But a single look from Lin Tian made her shut up instantly.

Still, she was secretly gloating inside.

Lin Tian turned his gaze toward Loael and the adventurers. If they hadn’t appeared, he might have spared these fools.

But they had shown up at the worst possible time.

They had witnessed his power firsthand. If they weren’t killed, then they would have to be imprisoned, enslaved.

They would never be allowed to leave the Soldier City prison—not even by a single step.

Cold sweat dripped from beneath Loael’s tight-fitting outfit as she hurriedly tried to explain. “Goblin King, did something upset you? Why are you suddenly so angry?”

“This is a Sun-Class magical device! You should be grateful! Don’t be so ungrateful, you filthy mutt from the Wilderness!”

Unexpectedly, Barcelona suddenly raised his voice, spitting out his words viciously.

The entire area—

Fell into complete silence.

The Desert Queen, Pendragon, and Hercules all stared at him with wide eyes.

They thought—
Is this guy insane?!

The next second—

Lin Tian spoke slowly. “Kneel.”

The moment the words left his mouth—

Barcelona’s expression twisted in horror as his body crashed to the ground, knees slamming onto the stone with a sickening thud. He felt like his kneecaps were about to shatter!

Before he could even process the pain, Lin Tian spoke again.

“End yourself.”

This command required consuming all of his magic power.

But it didn’t matter.

If Ultimate Domination had been used up, then he would simply resort to Dark Holy Word.

If the opponent was weaker than him, they would be mere puppets on his strings, completely under his control. And even if the opponent was stronger—

They would still be forced to submit!

That was the current Lin Tian.

Let alone some insignificant fool acting arrogant before him.

“W-What’s happening?! My body… I can’t control my body! Ahhh! No! Help me! Guild master, please save me! All of you, help me!!”

Barcelona trembled violently, his hand reaching toward the Dragon God’s Fang lying on the ground.

Then—

He dragged the blade toward his own throat!

As his vision was swallowed by the crimson hue of his own blood, his body convulsed a few times before going completely still in the growing pool beneath him.

His pupils—

Were forever frozen in an expression of boundless despair and terror.

A horror that would accompany his soul for eternity.

All around, people covered their mouths in shock.

They could hardly believe what had just happened.

Some had wanted to step forward and help, but Loael stopped them.

Forcing herself to remain calm, she spoke, “Your Majesty, the Star Sanctuary has already pledged to stand with you. If there is anything that has displeased you, please tell us!”

“This has nothing to do with ‘pleasure’ or ‘displeasure.’ But there is a problem that needs solving. If you can handle it, then I’ll spare you—though you should already be dead.”

Lin Tian’s eyes flickered as he spoke in a measured tone.

Upon hearing this—

The adventurers were so frightened that goosebumps ran across their skin.

They had spent their entire lives teetering on the edge of danger, but—

This was the first time they had ever experienced such pure, unfiltered fear of death.

From the way Lin Tian spoke, it was as if—

They were already dead.

Still maintaining her respectful demeanor, Loael answered, “Please, tell us.”

One-Eyed Owl interjected, “We’re searching for the location of the Pureblood Dwarf Kingdom. If you can tell us where it is, we’ll let you live. Otherwise… the entire Star Sanctuary will disappear.”

If these people leaked the information to the various Divine Pantheons—

The consequences would be immeasurable.

“The Pureblood Dwarf Kingdom? Even the gods can’t find it!”

“That’s right! We’ve spent our entire lives as adventurers. We’ve traveled all across the Divine Continent—from the Sky Islands to the Abyssal Depths! But we’ve never found a single clue about the Dwarf Kingdom!”

“Expecting us to answer this is no different from sentencing us to death!”

The adventurers, trembling, had started pleading, their eyes full of unwillingness.

Because they genuinely didn’t know where the Dwarf Kingdom was.

Lin Tian’s expression darkened even further, turning so terrifying that they felt as if they were suffocating.

At that moment—

Loael suddenly spoke.

“City of Wicked Sages! They’re hidden in a secret cave within the City of Wicked Sages!”

“City of Wicked Sages?”

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes.

He wasn’t very familiar with that place.

Loael quickly continued, afraid of seeming slow.

“It’s a faction created by five individuals who attempted to resurrect Satan. That place was where Satan was slain by the gods. His soul still lingers there, unable to be erased because of the faith of his followers.”

Lin Tian questioned her, unconvinced.

“Even the gods can’t find it, and you’re telling me the Dwarf Kingdom is in such a famous place?”

He suspected she was just stalling for time.

Loael hurriedly answered, her voice laced with urgency.

“The most dangerous place is often the safest place. Everyone in the City of Wicked Sages is focused on Satan. Naturally, they would never think to search for the Dwarf Kingdom there.”

“As far as I know, the dwarves and the City of Wicked Sages have formed a secret alliance. The City of Wicked Sages is responsible for hiding the location of the Pureblood Dwarf Kingdom, while the dwarves gifted them a God-Slaying Magical Device to help them retrieve Satan’s body, which had been divided and sealed within the various Divine Pantheons.”

Upon hearing this—

Lin Tian still remained skeptical.

However, One-Eyed Owl and the others nodded thoughtfully. It did make sense.

Seeing that Lin Tian’s doubt had yet to fade, Loael continued to explain, “Because I also have close ties with the City of Wicked Sages, I’m even… considered an ally. I was planning to assist them in resurrecting Great Demon God Satan…”

“Oh?”

Now Lin Tian was finally a little interested. “Why do you want to resurrect Satan? To humanity, isn’t he nothing but a disaster?”

Off to the side, Hercules and the others couldn’t help but think to themselves, “A disaster? What disaster could possibly be worse than you?!”

Loael hesitated slightly. “Your Majesty, I have answered your question, but this is something I must keep confidential.”

Confidential?

When someone wanted to keep something confidential, it usually meant there was a greater power backing them.

But for Lin Tian, there were no secrets.

Nearly 40,000 combat power?!

That was already comparable to a god. He had skimmed her stats before, but he hadn’t paid much attention.

This woman… was hiding incredibly deep!

And most striking of all—Fallen God.

Another Fallen God!

Clearly, her identity was anything but simple, and the forces behind her were incredibly complicated.

Lin Tian had initially planned to kill them all after this.

After all, he would never release a tiger back into the wild—and if she leaked information, the consequences would be catastrophic.

But now, this required a more deliberate approach.

“I won’t force you, then,” Lin Tian said coldly. “But before your intelligence is verified, I need you all to sign a contract with me. You will become my slaves. Once the information is proven true, I will release you all.”

Without waiting for a response, Lin Tian strode forward to where Barcelona’s lifeless body lay in a pool of dried blood.

He devoured it whole.

Restoring his magic.

At these words—

A flicker of displeasure flashed in Loael’s eyes. “Your Majesty, isn’t this a bit excessive? Surely you can see that our respect for you is genuine!”

The next second, she instantly regretted it.

Lin Tian’s voice turned deathly cold.

“Are you sure?”

“I’m only giving you a choice. That doesn’t mean I’m offering you a way out…”

“Guild Master, it’s come to this—just sign the contract! Becoming slaves is better than dying!”

“Didn’t you see what just happened?! Barcelona—he just died out of nowhere!”

“His power wasn’t something we could resist in the first place! Guild Master, endure for now! If he really wanted to kill us, he wouldn’t have bothered talking this much!”

The adventurers, terrified beyond belief, pleaded desperately.

They had seen all kinds of horrors throughout their lives.

But this—

This was the first time they had witnessed someone kill a Star-Class Adventurer with nothing but a few words.

At this moment—

Loael fell into silence, her mind racing.

“He wants me… to be a goblin’s slave? Once… I was second only to those two lords! I am the leader of the Old God Nirvana Organization! If I become this goblin’s slave… everything will be ruined!”

But unfortunately—

Her power had yet to recover.

And those two lords had not appeared yet.

She didn’t even know if they had reincarnated.

Otherwise… how could she have fallen this low?
