From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 371

Chapter 371: Loael Helps! Slay Jehovah!

TL: Sungmin

As a magic formation condensed in the sky, the Three-Life Demon Armor slowly emerged.

However, it no longer carried the same arrogant and domineering presence as it had before in front of Lin Tian and the others. Instead, it remained subdued and obedient.

Loael’s pupils contracted slightly, and her expression darkened. “Yuan Bieli? I never expected it to be you bastards…”

The Three-Life Demon Armor waved and bowed to Lin Tian like a subordinate greeting its superior. Suddenly, it stiffened and exclaimed, “That woman from the Sea of Stars?! Why are you here?!”

“Hmph, you damn bastards actually managed to be reborn as well…” Loael sneered with a look of utter contempt.

The Three-Life Demon Armor chuckled shamelessly. “We couldn’t help it. Fate didn’t allow us to die~”

Lin Tian couldn’t help but ask, “Your relationship seems more complicated than I expected?”

Within the Old Divine Pantheon, there were factions similar to the Sages and Wicked Sages.

Aside from the Sea of Stars, Moon Palace, and Sun Hall, there was another divine pantheon known as the Cemetery of Pain.

Yuan Bieli was from the Cemetery of Pain.

Loael explained this to the others.

The Three-Life Demon Armor quickly added, “But in the final moments, we stood on their side. Our alliance hasn’t been annulled yet, so we still count as allies.”

“Hmph, that may be true, but the God-King of the Cemetery of Pain didn’t seem to perish in the last Ragnarok, did she? Where is she? Why hasn’t she come forward to help?” Loael questioned with a stern expression.

The Three-Life Demon Armor looked troubled. “We don’t know either. Besides, calm down first—we’re now Goblin King His Majesty’s subordinates, so you’d better not act recklessly.”

After witnessing Lin Tian’s terrifying growth speed, they were more than willing to become his subordinates and follow him.

After all, the Cemetery of Pain had a history full of dark pasts. Once the Old Divine Pantheon was re-established, they would surely face judgment.

Rather than waiting for that fate, they might as well side with Lin Tian and build a New Divine Pantheon together.

Loael turned her head away, choosing to ignore them. Instead, she crouched beside Princess Gobu Yue, helping her tidy up her clothes.

The group gathered around the bonfire, enjoying the festive atmosphere of singing and dancing, reveling in their well-earned rest.

As Gobu Kuang and the others were feasting heartily, Lin Tian suddenly threw Dante and Megicula’s corpses onto the ground. “Devour them and see for yourselves. Both of their abilities are immensely powerful—gaining even one of them would increase your combat strength by at least ten thousand.”

The Cursed Heart, once obtained, would grant access to all curse magic in the world.

The user would unlock spells based on their own strength.

This ability was far too overwhelming and powerful, even in Lin Tian’s eyes.

Meanwhile, Dante’s Blood Dominator was also formidable—once an opponent was wounded, their fate was essentially sealed.

Of course, if the opponent’s strength and awareness were high enough, they could heal their wounds instantly, rendering its effect minimal.

Still, it allowed blood to transform into various liquid weapons, making it a highly versatile power.

“Boss, can I try devouring too?” Princess Gobu Yue asked eagerly.

She felt that her current strength was still insufficient and was determined to continue growing stronger.

Lin Tian nodded. “Of course, but the stronger the ability, the lower the chances of successful devouring. It all depends on luck.”

Early on, when he devoured low-tier monsters, he could obtain their abilities with a nearly 100% success rate.

But as time went on, it became increasingly difficult.

“Lady Xiya, there’s no need for that. Once you awaken and regain your memories and power, curse magic and blood domination will be nothing but trivial tricks to you,” Loael quickly reassured her with concern.

Princess Gobu Yue glanced at her with mild disdain, wondering why this woman was acting so familiar with her.

She shifted her body closer to Lin Tian.

However, Loael followed suit and moved closer as well.

Hearing her words, Lin Tian also found them reasonable. “Since you’re a God-King, then waiting for your awakening is enough. Let Gobu Kuang and the others have them.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to Boss,” Princess Gobu Yue replied calmly.

Loael’s face was filled with awkwardness. She had spoken with such kindness, yet her words were brushed aside. Meanwhile, Lin Tian said just one sentence, and Princess Gobu Yue obediently complied.

However, she understood—once Princess Gobu Yue regained her identity as Xiya, everything would naturally fall into place.

Without further delay, Lin Tian devoured a part of Megicula, aiming to acquire some curse-related abilities.

“How is it? Did it work?”

Everyone focused intently on him.

Osius looked on with envy. “If only I were a goblin. Just by devouring, you can gain others’ abilities.”

“Hmph! If you were a goblin, you’d have died a thousand times over in some dark and damp forest already!” One-Eyed Owl snapped.

Even Loael spoke with admiration. “That’s right. The truly strong one isn’t goblins—it’s Lin Tian.”

Even if low-level goblins were given God-Slaying Weapon forging techniques and extraordinary skills, they would have no way to utilize them.

With luck, they might catch small animals, eat a few grasshoppers, and then grow old and die.

With bad luck, they would be used as EXP fodder by some adventurer or devoured by a monster.

At this moment—

Lin Tian sighed. “Looks like I’ve really been targeted by the Goddess of Misfortune… I failed to obtain this guy’s ability.”

“I didn’t get it either… I’ve let Boss down,”

“Same here…”

Gobu Tian and Gobu Shan both hung their heads in disappointment.

Among everyone present, only Gobu Kuang was still holding a portion of Megicula’s corpse. “Boss, you should devour it. Even if I were to get this Cursed Heart, I doubt I’d be able to use it properly…”

Saying that, he directly handed it over to Lin Tian.

However, Lin Tian waved him off. “Do whatever you want with it. I have a feeling my luck is awful right now, so devouring it would just be a waste.”

Being targeted by the Goddess of Misfortune—just thinking about it would be enough to drive most people insane.

In the end, Gobu Tian and Gobu Shan also refused to take it.

Left with no other choice, Gobu Kuang decided to try devouring it himself.

Unfortunately, the result was the same.

He failed to obtain the Cursed Heart.

“It’s really a shame… That Cursed Heart is exceptionally powerful. In a sense, this is quite a significant loss.” Lin Tian sighed again.

After that, no one attempted to devour Dante’s corpse. He simply handed it over to Gobu Kuang and the other two.

Ironically, just after complaining about bad luck, fortune turned in their favor.

Gobu Kuang was the first to cry out in surprise. “I got this guy’s ability! Boss, look at this!”

Splatter!

In an instant, Gobu Kuang dissolved into a pool of blood, scattering across the ground.

Beside him, Gobu Tian and Gobu Shan twitched violently, their bodies bulging and caving in as if they were boiling water.

They had also acquired Blood Dominator.

Overall, even if they didn’t use this ability in combat, it was a fantastic means of escape.

They could liquefy into blood and slip into the cracks in the ground to hide.

“Hey, when are you going to help me get stronger? Facing those two earlier, I had no confidence in winning at all.”

One-Eyed Owl couldn’t help but speak up, her desire for power evident.

Even Alice, who rarely made requests, spoke up. “Lady Elizabeth was right. Even if I go all out, I’m not sure I could defeat Dante and Megicula.”

By all out, she meant activating her Angel and Devil forms, combined with Sylph’s power and Darkspawn’s energy.

In that state, she could barely contend with someone like Gabriel.

But Megicula and Dante both had combat strength around forty-five thousand, making them formidable opponents.

Loael’s voice suddenly rang out. “A heavily wounded demigod and a human body, yet they managed to reach such heights… It’s already unbelievable. To push beyond that would be near impossible.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve already taken control of the Dwarven Kingdom. Once the God-Slaying Armors are distributed, everyone’s strength will reach Prime God level,” Lin Tian assured them.

With ease, their combat power would surpass fifty thousand, potentially reaching sixty or seventy thousand, making them among the top Prime Gods.

Hearing this, Osius and Grugia immediately lunged at Lin Tian, hugging his leg.

“Brother Tian! Even if we don’t have merit, we’ve at least worked hard! Give us a set of God-Slaying Armor and weapons too!”

“Please, I’m willing to sacrifice my most fragile body part for it this time! And I mean it sincerely!”

The two of them were practically in tears, their voices filled with exaggerated emotion.

Lin Tian impatiently kicked them away. “Relax. It’s mass-produced. You’ll definitely get your share.”

“Um… His Majesty Lin Tian, I… I’d like one too…”

Loael hesitated, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Even a God-King couldn’t resist the allure of God-Slaying Weapons.

This was precisely why the Divine Pantheon had always suppressed the Dwarves.

Lin Tian glanced at her. “We’ll see. You’re just an ally, after all.”

Loael looked helpless, having no words to refute.

“By the way, I have an announcement to make. About the Heavenly Divine Pantheon—based on my estimates, it won’t be long before Jehovah realizes what happened behind the Battle of Goblin King City. I plan to go and kill him now before he can alert the other Divine Pantheons.”

Lin Tian’s voice was grave, striking deep into everyone’s souls.

This matter was of utmost importance.

Even a single misstep would guarantee complete annihilation.

Hearing this, Loael shot up, her face filled with disbelief.

“What?! Are you insane?! You plan to go alone to kill Jehovah?! He’s a top-tier Prime God! His power is beyond question, and his entire army is composed of elite spirits who have died in battle!”

Though Jehovah wasn’t a God-King, he was still a force just beneath the likes of Zeus, Odin, Hela, and Horus.

“The Heavenly Pantheon’s forces have basically been wiped out. Only Jehovah remains in Eden, so I intend to go and eliminate him alone. You all stay here and wait,” Lin Tian declared firmly.

He knew full well that Alice, One-Eyed Owl, and the others would get instantly obliterated if they went.

They weren’t ready for a battle against a Prime God yet.

They needed to wait until a massive batch of God-Slaying Weapons and magical artifacts were forged.

However, Lin Tian couldn’t wait any longer.

Even though the Life Simulation System predicted that Jehovah would only detect the anomaly in two months, reality had already changed because of Lin Tian’s actions.

The simulated events could shift at any time.

And the Butterfly Effect was unpredictable.

Right now, the Life Simulation System hadn’t refreshed.

So to play it safe, taking action while he was confident in success was the best course.

A heavy silence fell over the group.

There was no doubt that their hesitation came from deep concern for Lin Tian, making them too afraid to hastily make a decision.

Loael was momentarily stunned, secretly astonished. I never expected this guy to have won over everyone’s hearts so deeply… Every single person here is worried about him, even Lady Xiya…

“I think if we all work together, we might actually be able to help. For example, I can clear out any domains for you. Since he’s a Holy-type being, if he activates his domain, it’ll pose a significant threat to you,”

One-Eyed Owl said thoughtfully, her usual carefree and flippant demeanor absent.

She was completely serious.

However, Grugia and Osius both shook their heads.

“Big Sis, against someone of that level, the chances of us actually helping are slim to none. We’d probably just become burdens instead…”

If Jehovah abandoned honor and targeted them first, things would get messy.

“Boss, if there’s no other way, just wait a little longer… I don’t want to see anything happen to you…” Princess Gobu Yue trembled as she spoke.

Almost everyone was filled with concern.

Lin Tian turned his gaze toward Alice.

“And you? Lady Alice?”

Normally, Alice always supported Lin Tian’s decisions, trusting him without question.

But this time, even she shook her head.

“Your Majesty, I haven’t seen Jehovah’s strength firsthand, but without a doubt, he must be incredibly strong. Please try to be patient. Just like before, wait until you have absolute certainty before making a move.”

“She’s right. Aren’t you the type to only act when you’re fully prepared?” One-Eyed Owl nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Lin Tian’s expression became complicated.

This situation was different.

It wasn’t just about his own future—this time, it involved everyone’s future.

If Jehovah was suddenly summoned by the other Divine Pantheons to discuss recent events on the Divine Continent, he might notice the anomalies.

And that was just one of many possible Butterfly Effect scenarios.

Finally, Lin Tian made his decision.

“Even if it’s not for myself, I must go—for all of you. This isn’t something we can afford to wait on.”

Although Lin Tian had always appeared cold and emotionless…

Even ruthless at times…

That was only toward outsiders.

One-Eyed Owl sighed. “If that’s the case, then make sure you come back. Don’t keep us waiting too long.”

“Wait, are you seriously letting him go alone to challenge Jehovah? That’s completely different from fighting an ordinary Prime God! He’s the ruler of an entire Divine Pantheon—he’s basically at the God-King level!” Loael abruptly stood up, utterly shocked.

The group fell silent.

They had no way to stop him or offer any real help.

All they could do was respect Lin Tian’s decision.

Alice gazed into the distance, clenching her fists tightly. She didn’t say anything, but her frustration was evident.

Princess Gobu Yue was the same.

“If only I were stronger… Lady Loael, you said I used to be powerful. Can’t you help me recover my memories and strength right now? That way, I could help Boss…”

Most of the others had similar thoughts.

They all blamed their own weakness.

Loael shook her head.

“Lady Xiya, there’s no way to do that at the moment. However… to ease your worries, let me go help him instead.”

“You?” Princess Gobu Yue’s eyes lit up with anticipation.

Lin Tian smirked slightly. “Oh? Weren’t you looking panicked earlier at the mention of Jehovah? Do you actually dare to go?”

Loael chuckled lightly. “If I can absorb enough Star Power, I’ll be able to use my past magic abilities. I won’t say I can defeat Jehovah, but I can definitely assist you.”

“Why didn’t you say that earlier? Get ready. We’re leaving tomorrow night.” Lin Tian was full of energy.

He was genuinely looking forward to this.

Of course, from the beginning, he had never been afraid.

His only concern was that his companions might get dragged into danger.

…

Eden

The calm and deep lake reflected the sky above, its surface occasionally disturbed by falling leaves.

From time to time, fish leapt out of the water, snapping at the low-flying insects.

“Achoo!”

Suddenly, a delicate sneeze echoed along the lakeshore.

A woman with long, flowing golden hair, dressed in a sheer nightgown, sat leisurely by the water, fishing.

Her breathtakingly mature features showed a trace of solemnity.

“Why do I suddenly feel uneasy?”

Her voice carried a sense of foreboding.

“Looks like it’s time to clean house… Gabriel and Adam, you’ve really disappointed me…”
