From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 363

Chapter 363: Acquiring a God-Slaying Magical Device! The Dwarven King Makes His Move!

TL: Sungmin

“A winged one from the heavens?”

Another dwarf, holding the title of marquis, was utterly dumbfounded.

He didn’t dare to think too much!

Not long ago, they had heard about the angels preparing to cleanse the Wilderness of magical creatures.

After all, Gabriel had fought War God Ares in the capital of the Divine Strength Empire.

The whole affair had caused a massive uproar.

However—

The Dwarven King remained skeptical, his face filled with disbelief. “Trying to scare me? If the dwarven race were so easily frightened, we would have ceased to exist a long time ago.”

They had faced threats from major factions, even the Divine Pantheon, many times before.

So he simply didn’t believe Lin Tian.

Besides, Hercules and the others had just lost the battle, and Lin Tian’s group had arrived immediately after.

There hadn’t even been time for the news to reach the Dwarven Kingdom.

Lin Tian didn’t want to waste any more time. He simply said, “Alright then, I won’t take your God-Slaying Weapons for free. I can give you the freedom to return to the surface. How about that? Just like the Hybrid Dwarven Kingdom in the Wilderness.”

He could simply kill them all, seize their weapons and forging techniques.

But that wasn’t the best method.

If he did that, Bill and the other dwarves would have to start learning the techniques from scratch, and whether they could even master them was uncertain.

Sure, direct looting could get them some God-Slaying Weapons.

But those weapons weren’t tailor-made, limiting their effectiveness. If they were custom-forged, they could unleash at least 200% of their potential.

“Hah! Ignorant goblin, this is not the time for you to make demands! This is the time for you to receive punishment!”

“Give us freedom? And what gives you the right? That mouth of yours?”

“Go trick some children instead! Guards, prepare the punishment! Flog him a hundred times first—I want to hear if a goblin’s wails can stir my blood!”

The Dwarven King sneered with a vicious glint in his eyes.

Very soon, a soldier stepped forward, pulling out a black-and-gold whip!

It was forged from soft iron, not leather!

It was the kind of weapon that could tear a person in half with sheer force!

However, since this was a minor punishment, the flogging would only leave his flesh torn apart, without actually killing him.

The high-ranking dwarves present all had eerie, twisted expressions in their eyes.

They were eager to witness this brutal spectacle.

Lin Tian sighed, his face darkening.

“Then let’s proceed with the original plan…”

Suddenly!

The elite dwarven soldiers approaching him exploded into pieces!

Blood splattered everywhere—as if something had crushed them alive!

It was none other than Lin Tian’s Ultimate Domination in action.

This ability was the very reason he dared to infiltrate the Dwarven Empire alone.

However—

What he hadn’t expected was that the Dwarven King actually had a battle power of 50,000.

[Berus: Lv100
Race: Dwarf
Profession: Forge God
Title: King of the Pureblood Dwarven Kingdom, God of Craftsmanship, God-Slayer…
Health: 6899
Strength: 3611
Defense: 4000
Skills: God’s Blessing, Divine Craftsmanship, Masterwork Creation, Forging Hand, Enchantment…
Equipment: Berus’ Armor, Precision Eye, Ten Thousand-Wheel Blade, Heart of the Abyss
Overall: 50000]

Lin Tian was quite surprised.

If he was right, those four pieces of equipment were all God-Slaying Weapons or Magical Devices.

Unfortunately, his system still couldn’t inspect equipment stats—it could only analyze skills at his current level.

The information gap made Lin Tian even more cautious.

His first move was to eliminate the weaklings, then focus entirely on the Dwarven King.

Under Ultimate Domination, the elite dwarves, despite wielding Sun-Class weapons and armor, were instantly slaughtered before they could even react!

First, they lacked actual combat experience.

Second, they had never even heard of an ability like Ultimate Domination.

One by one, they stood completely dumbfounded.

The Invisible Magic Hands in this situation were practically a higher-dimensional attack.

“What the hell is happening?!”

“Quick! Protect His Majesty the King!”

“What is going on? Why are they all dying out of nowhere?!”

The dwarves panicked instantly, utterly clueless on how to react.

They didn’t even have time to launch an attack on Lin Tian.

Even though they wore Sun-Class armor and held Sun-Class weapons, with average battle power of 20,000—

They were still too weak.

They stood no chance against Invisible Magic Hands.

Of course, Lin Tian targeted weak points, bypassing their defenses—throats, faces, necks.

A mere touch was enough to instantly kill them.

If he used full power, he could even bypass Sun-Class defenses and slaughter them effortlessly.

The grand palace of the Dwarven King echoed with the gruesome sounds of flesh bursting apart.

And the agonized screams of the dwarves.

Within moments, the entire palace entrance was drenched in blood.

Lin Tian stood in place.

The dwarves kept approaching.

And they kept dying one after another.

Of course, Lin Tian also controlled the Invisible Magic Hands to devour the dwarf corpses and restore his strength.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to sustain the ability for too long.

This scene—

Had already scared the high-ranking dwarves senseless.

“Monster! Monster! He’s a monster! We’re doomed!”

“I need to get out of here!”

“What kind of nightmare did we let inside?!”

To them, this method of killing was beyond comprehension, like something out of science fiction.

After all, they couldn’t see the Invisible Magic Hands, nor did they have any knowledge of this type of attack.

That was why they were in complete panic.

Suddenly, a sharp dagger shot toward Lin Tian!

Clang!

A metallic collision rang out!

Lin Tian controlled his Invisible Magic Hands, effortlessly catching the dagger mid-air.

It floated there, suspended in front of him.

From outside the palace, a dwarf stepped forward, his heavy armor clanking rhythmically as he walked.

“All of you, stand down! This guy is mine to deal with!”

“It’s Marquis Moen! He’s finally here!”

“The strongest assassin of the dwarves, His Highness Moen—that goblin is dead for sure!”

The elite soldiers let out sighs of relief and quickly retreated.

But their gazes toward Lin Tian were filled with terror—

They no longer saw him as a person. Not even as a living being, but as a nightmare incarnate.

The dwarf named Moen slowly stood before Lin Tian, eyes full of disdain.

“You lot receive such good treatment, yet in actual combat, you’re nothing but trash? You can’t even handle a mere goblin? Go home and farm instead!”

Hearing his rebuke, the elite dwarves didn’t dare make a sound.

After all, he had the qualifications to say it.

Moen was one of the few dwarves who had traveled the outside world, honing his combat skills far beyond theirs.

Even the Dwarven King smiled in satisfaction.

“Since Moen is here, I can rest easy. End this quickly and avenge Hotu!”

“As you command, Your Majesty!”

Moen cupped his fists in respect.

Immediately, three daggers floated beside him, moving as if controlled by his mind!

At the same time, the mysterious gem embedded in his helmet glowed with an eerie green light.

Lin Tian examined his stats.

Battle power: 40,000.

Something felt off.

“You don’t seem to have telekinesis as an ability.”

“Who says I don’t?” Moen smirked playfully.

The next second—

A barrage of daggers shot toward Lin Tian at insane speed, even changing trajectories mid-air!

To outsiders, the flying daggers formed a spherical attack, sealing Lin Tian in a deadly cage!

The sheer force was terrifying, comparable to One-Eyed Owl’s normal attacks.

They could even slice through magic!

Lin Tian’s Invisible Magic Hands blocked a few times but soon became severely damaged, unable to recover for a while!

Moen’s lips curled.

“Looks like that mysterious attack of yours is useless now.”

At this moment, Lin Tian had started moving, using his agility to dodge the four daggers.

“He moved!”

“Earlier, even with ten thousand of us, we couldn’t force that goblin to take a single step! Marquis Moen is incredible!”

“He’s the strongest assassin! He’ll probably end this fight soon!”

The elite dwarves watching from afar were in awe.

Lin Tian, however, was still analyzing the daggers’ abilities, weaving through them effortlessly.

He could handle them.

But this troublesome ability wasn’t easy to counter.

“Judgment Execution!”

Lin Tian summoned a magic formation, but—

The flying daggers instantly sliced it apart!

This confirmed something.

The daggers could cut through any magic.

Unless it was an instant-cast spell, any magic formation would be shattered.

Using physical attacks was also pointless. If he knocked the daggers away, they would just fly back the next second.

Even if he destroyed them, it was useless.

Moen had more strapped to his waist, likely as spares.

Overall, this weapon’s ability was terrifying, likely at the God-Slaying level. Even the strongest opponents would be worn down and killed from a distance, which meant there was only one way to counter it. Kill the controller.

As Lin Tian dodged the relentless daggers, his cold gaze suddenly locked onto Moen!

Thump!

Moen’s heart skipped a beat.

A look of panic flashed across his face.

“Th-This guy… Is he bluffing?”

“Hurry up and finish him, Moen.”

The Dwarven King’s voice rang out, sounding impatient.

However—

There was no response.

The Dwarven King frowned, then asked again, “Moen? What’s wrong? Are you hesitating?”

Clatter…

A series of crisp metallic sounds rang out.

The Dwarven King quickly turned to look at Lin Tian—

The daggers had fallen to the ground.

But the goblin was nowhere to be seen!

Lin Tian had somehow closed the distance, now standing right beside Moen.

A terrifying pressure crushed Moen, forcing him to collapse onto the floor!

Though they were the same height, to Moen, it felt like they weren’t even the same species.

Lin Tian was a true monster.

No, a Demon God.

In Lin Tian’s hand was Moen’s helmet.

He looked down at him with contempt.

“So this is what allows you to control those weapons?”

Earlier, Lin Tian hadn’t noticed anything from Moen’s skill panel.

But after checking his equipment panel—

There was an item called ‘Mind Combat Gem’.

That must be the source of his power.

“You… How do you know?!”

Moen trembled uncontrollably, struggling to breathe under the immense pressure.

He was absolutely terrified.

Lin Tian didn’t bother answering. He simply pried the gem from Moen’s helmet, claiming it for himself. Now, he could finally inspect its abilities.

[Mind Combat Gem – God-Slaying Magical Device: Can control various objects and grant them different abilities. When controlling short weapons, it can cut through magic. When controlling long weapons, it grants explosive power capable of shattering any defense. When controlling heavy weapons, it grants a one-minute golden invincible state, making the user immune to both physical and magical restraints, crushing all enemies…]

Short weapons referred to daggers and similar blades.

Long weapons likely included swords and spears, while heavy weapons were probably war hammers and similar blunt instruments.

Although the gem allowed control over all kinds of objects, its special abilities were limited to these effects.

Even if one controlled a mere rock, it would still grant the golden invincible state, allowing them to charge at enemies fearlessly.

The more Lin Tian read, the more impressed he was.

From Moen’s previous display of controlling multiple daggers simultaneously, it was evident that the user could wield multiple weapons at once.

Which meant—

He could stack multiple effects simultaneously.

“What a treasure. I’ll be taking this.”

Lin Tian casually stuffed the gem into his pocket.

A God-Slaying Magical Device—truly beyond comprehension!

If its abilities were separated, they would at most be Sun-Class.

But when combined and used together, they became overwhelmingly powerful.

Unfortunately for Moen, he had yet to master it to that extent.

“Stop! That belongs to the Dwarven Kingdom! You have no right to take it!”

“Boom!”

A thunderous roar shook the ground!

The Dwarven King’s aura surged, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

“You useless fools! Goblin, I’ll give you one last chance. Since you are an ally of Loael and the others, I am willing to let you leave unharmed, despite our past grievances. But you must return the gem!”

Truthfully, Hotu’s death meant nothing to him.

He only put on a show to satisfy his twisted, sadistic desires.

Lin Tian’s power had exceeded his expectations, so he had decided to let him go—hoping he would continue fighting against the Divine Pantheons.

His greatest mistake today was being too careless in allowing an outsider into the bunker.

“Hmph, I’ll say it again—either the dwarves submit to the goblins, or they will be trampled beneath us… and vanish forever.”

Lin Tian’s eyes burned with murderous intent, utterly unfazed.

Now that he possessed a God-Slaying Magical Device, and had a rough understanding of its capabilities,

Even if the Dwarven King had four God-Slaying artifacts, the information gap wasn’t enough to make Lin Tian wary.

Upon hearing this, the Dwarven King’s expression turned even darker.

“Goblin… Goblin… You’ve come so far, from a weak, insignificant race to where you are today. Truly impressive. But… aren’t you afraid that all your efforts will be for nothing?”

Even after witnessing Lin Tian’s unbelievable strength,

He still carried the arrogance and confidence of a ruler.

Because his confidence came from his God-Slaying Magical Devices.

Even the God-Kings feared them—so why should he be afraid of a mere goblin?

Lin Tian’s expression suddenly shifted, his tone patient, “Before that, I have a question.”

The Dwarven King paused. “What is it?”

“Do you have records of how to forge God-Slaying Weapons and Magical Devices? Could Hybrid Dwarves possibly learn it?”

Lin Tian’s face was serious as he asked.

It was an abrupt question, but he had no choice.

If he killed the Dwarven King without getting a clear answer, he could ruin everything.

“Go to hell!”

The Dwarven King roared furiously!

Boom!

The Precision Eye embedded in his helmet fired a blazing red beam, streaking straight toward Lin Tian!

Lin Tian dodged instantly.

The moment he moved, the ground behind him—struck by the red beam—completely melted away!

A massive crater, twenty meters wide, was left behind.

A truly terrifying display of power!

Yet, this wasn’t even the Precision Eye’s deadliest feature.

Its true horror was that each successive shot would increase its accuracy—

Until it eventually struck the target with absolute certainty!

“Your dodging skills are indeed the best I’ve ever seen,” the Dwarven King sneered coldly.

“But within five attacks, you will die beneath my Disintegration Beam!”

With that, he attacked again!
