From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 370

Chapter 370: Moon Palace’s God-King, Gobu Yue?!

TL: Sungmin

The curse magic was indeed formidable.

Lin Tian had nearly fallen onto a nail—just a fraction off from a fatal injury.

And it was aimed directly at the back of his head!

Even a God-King would instantly lose all vital signs if struck in such a way.

Death was inevitable.

Under Satan’s command, Megicula had no choice but to withdraw the curse.

But suddenly, her expression changed dramatically. “Goblin Majesty, I have an incredibly important piece of information for you! As long as you let me live, I guarantee it’s something you must know!”

“Oh? Speak.”

Lin Tian observed her carefully—she didn’t seem to be bluffing.

A person on the brink of death had no reason to lie. She must have some valuable intelligence.

Megicula was so panicked that she could barely form her words. “After I withdrew your information, the Goddess of Misfortune—she, she said she remembered you! She will most likely come looking for you! You must have something she wants!”

Hearing this, Lin Tian was slightly taken aback.

He had caught the attention of the Goddess of Misfortune?

“Master, this is something that truly requires caution. Those targeted by her rarely meet a good end. You should quickly figure out what she’s after and get rid of it as soon as possible,” Satan said with a grave expression.

If Lin Tian died, Satan would perish with him, which explained his concern.

Lin Tian began to ponder—what could he possibly have that a goddess would go out of her way to seek?

Could it be his thing?

He quickly shook his head in denial.

This was not a trivial matter—it had to be taken seriously.

However…

Before dealing with that, he had to take care of the one before him first. “Megicula, are you sure you’d rather live than die?”

In the Goblin Soldier City prison, every single prisoner was someone who couldn’t be allowed to die.

For them, living was far more terrifying than death.

Megicula was momentarily stunned, not understanding why Lin Tian had asked that. She cautiously replied, “Living… of course, it’s better than dying…”

Lin Tian reached out and grabbed her sinful face. “I don’t quite see it that way~”

Looking into Lin Tian’s chilling gaze, Megicula’s body started trembling uncontrollably.

She fell to her knees and crawled closer to Lin Tian, attempting to flatter and beg for mercy.

Seeing this, Lin Tian kicked her away. “Don’t touch me. I’m afraid your mouth would put a curse on my thing!”

“I… I wouldn’t! Goblin Majesty, please, let me live! I really don’t want to die!”

At this moment, Megicula’s eyes were hollow, her entire body consumed by despair and fear.

For the first time, she truly felt the presence of death looming over her.

As long as she survived, once she regained her full power, she would be able to go one-for-one against a God-King!

At that time, even becoming a wandering god would be fine.

Unfortunately…

To Lin Tian, one either had value or was better off dead.

And it just so happened that she was more valuable dead.

Lin Tian sighed. “Sigh, I suppose I’ll show mercy for once today. You know, from the very bottom as a mere Goblin to where I am now, I’ve never once shown kindness to my enemies.”

Satan’s eyes lit up—keeping Megicula alive would only bring him benefits with no downsides.

“Really?! Thank you, Goblin Majesty! Thank you! From now on, I’m yours to command! Whatever you want to do with me, I’ll obey!”

Megicula was so overwhelmed with joy that her words became incoherent.

Thud!

Suddenly!

She felt an excruciating pain in her chest.

She clutched at her heart, her face full of unwillingness as she collapsed to the ground.

Her heart had exploded, and the blood surging up her throat blocked her from even speaking her last words.

After a few spasms, she was completely dead.

Satan was utterly stunned. “Master, didn’t you just say you were showing mercy? This…”

“Indeed. For an enemy in my hands, being able to die so swiftly is already a blessing they could never have hoped for in eight lifetimes.”

Lin Tian turned and called out, signaling for the One-Eyed Owl to come over.

At that moment, Loael had also just returned from the Pureblood Dwarf Kingdom.

Satan’s expression shifted slightly. “Even Princess Loael is under your control?!”

“Her? I wouldn’t call it control—it’s an alliance.”

Lin Tian’s tone was indifferent.

Loael was surprised to see Satan cowering, “You… you really became a servant?!”

Hearing this, Satan lowered his head and remained silent.

Lin Tian ordered, “Let’s go. I’ll trouble you to set up another teleportation formation in the Goblin Empire.”

Loael quickly responded, “No need to be so polite, Emperor Lin Tian. By the way, I wanted to ask—didn’t you mention before that you knew information about other reborn Old Gods?”

Currently, in the Old God Nirvana Organization, only two Old Gods had regained their memories and strength.

Over ten others had yet to recover.

The rest were just fanatical believers, and aside from the Wicked Sages, their power was quite low.

The recovered Old Gods had already set out on their journeys, searching for other members.

As a result, the organization was severely lacking in manpower.

It urgently needed expansion.

“We’ll discuss that when we return. You’ll find out soon enough.”

Lin Tian and his companions headed to Bill’s Sky-Piercing Behemoth airship, where Lavda and other Star-Class Adventurers were already waiting.

After all, leaving such a massive airship unattended would make it too easy for things to go missing.

As for Satan, he was left behind in the City of Wicked Sages.

…

Elf Kingdom.

Lita had safely arrived.

Her expression was filled with excitement, and she seemed eager beyond measure.

Behind the curtain, the Elf Queen couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong, Lita? Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?”

She had never held much hope of forming an alliance with the Dwarves.

After all, they had spent hundreds of years painstakingly building their Bunker, all for the sake of hiding away forever.

“We… we succeeded, Your Majesty! And… and!”

Lita’s graceful body trembled with excitement, so much so that she could barely speak.

The Elf Queen’s voice carried both doubt and delight. “You said we succeeded!? The Dwarves really agreed to an alliance?!”

“No, they didn’t. The Dwarves didn’t agree to an alliance with us…”

Lita gasped for breath as she answered.

Hearing this, the Elf Queen’s already frail, sickly yet breathtakingly beautiful face grew even paler. “Then what succeeded?”

Lita swallowed to moisten her throat. “We formed an alliance with the Goblins—this is the real unexpected blessing!”

“Goblins? Aren’t the Goblins being hunted by the Allied Nations Army? Aligning with them is no different from provoking the nations! Why would you do this?!”

The Elf Queen’s breath became erratic, her emotions rising in intensity.

She wasn’t worried about herself being targeted by the Allied Nations Army.

But the Elf Kingdom—her people—would suffer terribly.

Lita, however, beamed with excitement. “Your Majesty, prepare yourself mentally. What I’m about to say… you might not be able to handle it!”

“I already can’t handle it!” the Elf Queen complained.

Lita, still thrilled and emotional, continued, “That Goblin—the Goblin King—wiped out the Allied Nations Army! And he took over the Dwarf Kingdom! Not only that, but he also enslaved Satan!”

“What? But that still doesn’t justify provoking the nations by allying with the Goblins—wait! What did you just say?! What did you just say?!”

The Elf Queen suddenly realized something, abruptly rising to her feet and pulling back the curtain.

She rushed toward Lita!

Her slender figure trembled, her gaze still frail, yet at this moment, she seemed brimming with vitality.

Almost as if she had returned to the days when her body was whole and untainted by weakness.

A youthful energy filled the air.

Lita’s expression turned serious as she continued, “You didn’t mishear me, Your Majesty. The Allied Nations Army no longer exists. The only enemies left are the Three Divine Pantheons—but as long as we ally with the Goblins, even the Pantheons will be nothing to fear!”

This was a historic moment for the Elves!

A moment where they could finally stand on equal footing with the Gods!

Rather than being trampled beneath their feet, helpless as the nations ravaged them.

That was why she was so ecstatic.

So thrilled.

However…

The Elf Queen’s voice was filled with concern. “No… no matter how powerful the Goblins are, they still cannot compare to the Three Divine Pantheons. If the Pantheons refuse to ally, they will remain a force to be reckoned with.”

She understood the power of God-Kings better than anyone.

They were the true rulers of this world. To them, all living beings were mere playthings.

Standing before a God-King, one wouldn’t even have the courage to meet their gaze.

“At the very least, the Divine Pantheons won’t brazenly march into the Elf Kingdom to pillage and slaughter as the nations did. Oh, and by the way, as part of our alliance, the Goblin King has requested that we offer him Shadow Power.”

Lita had just remembered the crucial matter and quickly mentioned it.

After all, just the fact that the Allied Nations Army had been annihilated was already a debt the Elf Kingdom could never hope to repay.

The Elf Queen naturally did not refuse. “That’s not a problem. Prepare the Shadow Scroll. I will deliver it to the Goblin King personally and express my gratitude!”

Goblin King City.

The Sky-Piercing Behemoth slowly descended near Soldier City.

As soon as Lin Tian stepped down, he issued a command. “Start setting up the teleportation formation. I need to send reinforcements to strengthen the defenses.”

The Dwarven Bunker had no external guards—a fatal flaw.

So he planned to make modifications and add guards around the Bunker’s perimeter.

Loael nodded and began working.

She had already fully acknowledged Lin Tian’s strength and future potential—besides, they were allies.

Once everything was set in motion, Lin Tian led his people toward the Royal Palace for a well-earned rest.

They only needed to wait for Bill to finish forging the God-Slaying Weapons and Magic Devices.

Before taking on Heaven’s Divine Pantheon, they would need a thorough discussion.

…

Royal Palace Plaza.

Gobu Yue and her group were already there, preparing to welcome them.

The moment she appeared, Loael suddenly accelerated forward, throwing herself at Gobu Yue with a face full of excitement!

“I-Is it really you?! My lord!”

Loael gazed at Gobu Yue with deep affection, star-like tears streaming down her face.

The sudden move startled Gobu Yue so much that she immediately ran to Lin Tian’s side. “Boss, who is she? What is she doing?”

“Don’t be afraid. Are you okay? Is this really something to be so emotional over?” Lin Tian said.

Nearby, Gobu Kuang, Grugia, and others were staring at Lin Tian’s armor with wide eyes.

They were utterly shocked and intrigued.

But there was no time to entertain their curiosity.

Lin Tian frowned and turned toward Loael, who had suddenly spun around in a rush.

“My lord, have you not regained your memories yet?! How long have you been reborn? That shouldn’t be the case! Even I managed to recover mine…”

“She’s a Goblin. From birth until now, it’s only been about two years,” Lin Tian replied impatiently. This woman was acting far too strangely.

After all, she had once been a God-King of the Star Sea, yet here she was, completely lowering her stature.

Loael finally came to her senses. “I see… The shortest recorded time to recover memories is five years. In that case, I hereby declare—I will continue to follow and serve you for eternity, my lord!!”

With that, she slowly rose and gave Gobu Yue a deep bow.

This left Gobu Yue feeling embarrassed, hiding behind Lin Tian like a timid child suddenly being overwhelmed by an unfamiliar and overly eager stranger.

Of course, she was afraid. Who wouldn’t be?

“So, you know her? No… You knew the former Gobu Yue?”

Lin Tian’s expression turned serious as he pressed for answers.

He had always been deeply concerned about Gobu Yue.

After all, she was one of his earliest members and had played a crucial role in their past struggles.

Upon hearing this, Loael hesitated, looking around with a complicated expression, as if she wanted to say something but was struggling to find the words.

Lin Tian waved dismissively. “Don’t worry. Everyone here is one of us. Say what you need to—out of everyone here, you’re actually the newest one.”

Everyone else rolled their eyes at Loael.

“Brother Tian and I have a bond forged through life-and-death battles. Back when I stood alone against tens of thousands of Angelic Army, you probably hadn’t even shown up yet!”

Osius scoffed.

Grugia elbowed him. “What do you mean stood alone? I was there too!”

Loael took a deep breath, her gaze locked onto Gobu Yue with an indescribable mix of emotions—reverence, fondness, even deep-seated devotion.

With solemnity, she declared, “I could never mistake Gobu Yue’s aura. She is the Master of the Moon Palace, Xiya—the one whom I followed for countless nights, through endless seasons.”

Thud!

Everyone’s expression shifted dramatically.

Especially Lin Tian—he turned abruptly to Gobu Yue, who looked utterly lost.

“What the hell… What does that mean?”

Osius feigned extreme shock but clearly had no idea what was going on.

Even Gobu Yue was curious. “Moon Palace?”

Loael continued, “Lady Xiya, you were once the second most powerful God-King in the Old Divine Pantheon, second only to the Sun Hall. Or rather, at night, you were the strongest—unrivaled! And I… I was the star that shone beside your moon. Do you remember?”

Gobu Yue shook her head. “I don’t know who this Xiya is that you’re talking about. My name is Gobu Yue, and after reaching adulthood at just over a month old, I’ve been living with Boss ever since.”

“So, a God-King of the Moon Palace, huh? No wonder her intelligence was always so much higher than other Goblins.”

Lin Tian mused, gently patting Gobu Yue’s head.

Things had suddenly taken an interesting turn.

Some of Gobu Yue’s unique abilities now made a lot more sense.

So the whole idea of a Female Goblin—it didn’t actually exist.

Suddenly, Loael knelt before Lin Tian. “Thank you for taking care of Lady Xiya all this time! I never imagined she would be reborn as a Goblin. If it weren’t for you, I don’t dare to imagine what would have become of her…”

A Goblin—especially a low-tier Goblin—

Their mortality rate needed no explanation.

Gobu Yue suddenly spoke, her voice tinged with anger. “Stop saying that. If you’re trying to trick me into leaving Boss, then forget it! I’d never agree to that!”

She was extremely wary of Loael.

Loael, however, simply smiled in relief. “Lady Xiya, no matter where you go, I will go with you. I will never ask you to do anything—but you may ask me to do anything.”

“Huh? Well then, you better behave yourself.”

Gobu Yue clenched her fists and pouted.

Lin Tian couldn’t help but chuckle. “So this is what they mean by the stars gathering around the moon? Alright then, let’s shift our focus—Sara, summon the Three-Life Demon Armor.”

“As you command, Your Majesty!”
