His stats weren’t particularly high, but his defense was exceptionally outstanding, thanks to the Sun-Class armor he wore.
As for his skills, they had nothing to do with combat whatsoever.
If there was anything notable, it was his stamina, which was nearly three times that of an average person. However, that too had been enhanced through years of relentless weapon forging.
His combat power was high mainly because of that short sword, which pushed his overall strength past forty thousand, reaching God-Class levels.
Furthermore, it contained many strange and unknown abilities, making it extremely difficult to counter in battle due to the lack of information.
For now, everyone had no choice but to abandon the idea of obtaining a God-Slaying Weapon.
Suddenly—
Loael finally spoke up. “Right, the reason we came this time is that our new ally has something to discuss with you.”
Lin Tian shot her a glare. “And you’re only remembering that now?”
Loael looked slightly embarrassed but didn’t say much.
Upon hearing that there was something to discuss, Hotu’s expression darkened. After all, when people sought out dwarves, it was always for weapons or magical devices—nothing else.
He spoke first, “Let me make this clear from the start. You saw my attitude earlier. If you’re here to request God-Slaying Weapons or magical devices, forget it. It’s impossible!”
Megicula, Dante, and the others all looked at Lin Tian with disdain.
Earlier, they had hit a dead end themselves.
Now, it was finally his turn.
“Relax, I’m not here to request anything. I’m here to give an order…”
Lin Tian’s voice spread through the grand hall like bone-chilling ice.
Especially the last few words, which carried an undeniable weight!
Hearing this, Hotu was visibly surprised. “An order? Whose order?”
Bill straightened his back and explained, “Obviously, ours!”
Even though the person before him was a Pureblood Dwarf Marquis, he didn’t feel the slightest bit inferior.
Because standing beside him was Lin Tian!
Unexpectedly, Hotu didn’t get angry. Instead, he laughed out loud. “Hahaha! You? A mongrel dwarf? And a low-level monster goblin? Giving me an order? What a joke!”
“Huh? What are you doing? If you make him mad, we’ll all be kicked out!”
Loael looked at Lin Tian in confusion, reminding him cautiously.
Behind them—
Dante sneered. “The world is truly full of surprises. A mere goblin, daring to issue an order?”
“Pfft! Let me laugh for a moment! It’s been hundreds of years since I laughed like this, hahaha!” Megicula burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.
But just as that indescribable pressure began to spread—
Hotu saw that Lin Tian wasn’t joking and became slightly irritated. “Alright then, let me hear it. What kind of order do you want to give me?”
“It’s very simple. Provide a massive supply of God-Slaying Weapons and magical devices to the Goblin Empire—or hand over the forging techniques.”
Lin Tian’s voice rose above the chaotic laughter, ringing clear and piercing deep into their souls!
His presence had already transcended the mortal realm!
He radiated the pressure of a god.
However—
More than the oppression, it was the absurdity of his words that stunned everyone into silence—then, the entire hall erupted in laughter!
Even the already irritated Hotu doubled over, laughing. “Are… are you joking with me? That was hilarious, hahaha!”
“Loael, Your Highness, where did you even find this ally? A circus?” Dante couldn’t help but ask.
He had already been made to laugh twice now.
If Lin Tian really was a clown, then he deserved a hefty reward of tens of thousands of gold coins.
But these words—
Made Loael unable to laugh at all. “No… Goblin King, are you serious? Even if you’re strong, you don’t have enough power to make the dwarves fear you.”
The Pureblood Dwarf Kingdom had a power that was unfathomable.
First, there was the God-Class Hotu. Then, there was the even stronger Dwarf King, who possessed multiple exclusive God-Slaying Magical Devices.
They also had an annihilation legion, fully equipped with Sun-Class magical devices.
Their combined battle strength was enough to kill a Prime God.
Lin Tian had lost all patience for nonsense. “This is my final ultimatum. If you refuse, then I will have to use force…”
“How laughable! Do you really think I would agree to something like this? Show me what you’ve got, you foolish low-level monster!”
Without another word, Hotu launched an attack!
It was a perfect chance to test his newly enchanted ability.
A long-range Physical Sword Qi burst forth, tearing through the air with an ear-piercing shriek!
“Swish, swish, swish—!”
But just then, a violent storm erupted around Lin Tian, forcefully blowing the Sword Qi back at Hotu!
“Crack—!”
Lin Tian slashed down, shattering the throne above!
It was Sylph’s power at work.
Now that Alice had combined forces with Sylph, her base combat power had already reached thirty-five thousand.
After resolving her inner conflict, One-Eyed Owl had also experienced a massive boost in combat strength, with her base power reaching thirty thousand.
Of course.
Lin Tian had brought them here merely as mascots.
With his near fifty-thousand combat power, aside from Prime Gods and God-Kings, he could easily kill anyone else.
Seeing this, Hotu was slightly stunned. “You actually contracted the Wind Spirit?! But so what?!”
A hurricane of this level could already be considered a skill.
Meanwhile, his Sword Qi was just a normal attack—one he could release indefinitely.
“Die!”
Just as Hotu raised his sword to attack again, a voice boomed, shaking his soul with overwhelming pressure!
“Kneel!”
Lin Tian activated Dark Holy Word, then strode forward, preparing to seize the short sword.
However, due to having three times the stamina of an ordinary person, Hotu easily broke free. “Is that all?!”
But in the next second—he understood what true power meant!
An Invisible Magic Hand clamped down on him, rendering him completely unable to struggle!
Lin Tian had used Dark Holy Word first precisely to ensure Ultimate Domination’s magic hand could land its hit.
Hotu struggled violently, his face filled with shock. “What is this?! A mental attack?!”
“I’ll ask you one last time. Will you agree to my demand?”
Lin Tian’s tone surged with boundless killing intent!
However, intimidation meant nothing to a dwarf.
In an instant—
Hotu activated the Mythic-Class enchantment on his armor.
“Don’t underestimate dwarves, you lowly goblin!”
“Boom!”
The originally golden-red armor suddenly burst forth, spewing molten lava—or rather, liquid iron—blazing hot and scalding!
This was one of his strongest enchantments—‘Overloaded Operation’!
Steam and molten iron gushed out nonstop.
Even if someone dodged the scalding iron, they would still be burned by the near 200-degree steam, or worse—roasted alive!
Under different pressure values, the temperature of the gas would also vary.
The reason it was called Overloaded Operation was because the pressure valve had completely exceeded its limits.
“Damn it, we need to retreat!”
Megicula and the others immediately realized the danger, turning to flee outside.
If they were scalded by this steam, their entire skin would instantly be cooked.
If exposed for more than ten seconds, their flesh would be steamed to the bone.
Within thirty seconds, death was guaranteed.
With Hotu continuously unleashing molten iron, it was impossible to get close and land a killing blow!
It was undeniable—this ability was extremely powerful!
