From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 373

Chapter 373: I Am the God-King of the Star Sea!

TL: Sungmin

“So, can you answer my question now? Who are you?”

At this moment, Jehovah Veilynn’s voice turned cold and chilling.

The icy aura was overwhelming.

Lin Tian quickly calmed himself and strolled leisurely as he spoke, “Who I am isn’t important. What matters is that you’ve been living here alone for so long—aren’t you lonely? Cold? I happen to be quite skilled in healing. I guarantee it works~”

“Answer me!”

Buzz!

Veilynn’s voice suddenly became solemn and majestic, echoing loudly!

She had activated the Holy Word of Jehovah, which functioned similarly to the Dark Holy Word.

Seeing the approaching sound waves, Lin Tian immediately cast the Dark Holy Word to cancel them out. “What if I don’t?”

Upon seeing this, Veilynn’s lips curled slightly. “I see now. Little Phil, you see me yet refuse to kneel in greeting? Looks like your wings have grown quite strong…”

Her tone shifted from the cold, menacing threat of before to one filled with amusement.

The tense, confrontational atmosphere changed abruptly.

Little Phil was a nickname for Lucifer, originally called Luciferiel. Jehovahs typically addressed him as Little Phil, while Gabriel and others called him Luciferiel. After his fall, he took the name Lucifer.

“Well, if my wings were too soft, how could I be talking to you like this?” Lin Tian replied.

Hearing this, Loael looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he was deliberately pretending to be Lucifer.

Lin Tian nudged her with his elbow, signaling her to stay quiet.

The reason he wanted Veilynn to mistake him for Lucifer was simple—if she thought he was Lucifer, she might not strike as hard.

After all, Lucifer had once been Veilynn’s personal guardian angel.

Their relationship was… complicated.

Veilynn then glanced at Loael and said, “Is this the companion you found in Hell? She looks rather strange.”

When Loael’s strength was fully restored, her appearance was indistinguishable from an ordinary human.

Unlike herself, who remained in a translucent, starry form.

“Little Phil, for the sake of our past, I’ll give you a chance to earn my forgiveness.” Veilynn took a deep breath and sighed.

After all, as Jehovah, granting everyone at least one chance for forgiveness suited her persona.

Of course, it also came from the heart.

Lin Tian’s expression shifted slightly. “A chance? Let’s hear it.”

Veilynn slowly removed her gleaming silver boots and extended her pale, jade-like feet.

The very air seemed to take on a fragrant scent.

Then, she looked at Lin Tian as one would at a dog. “Come, kiss the soles of my feet. Prove your repentance and enlightenment, and I shall forgive you…”

Her expression was filled with playful mockery.

As if, from the very start, she had never taken this seriously—treating Lin Tian as nothing more than a toy for her amusement.

“This woman…”

Loael muttered angrily under her breath. This was too arrogant, too humiliating!

She turned to Lin Tian. “Let’s just—”

She had originally planned to throw caution to the wind and attack. Whether they won or lost was still uncertain.

But then…

From within Lin Tian’s armor came his excited voice, “A-A reward like this? Isn’t that too much, Jehovah?”

“A reward?”

Veilynn’s eyes flashed with surprise. “You weren’t like this before. Just a few teasing words would turn you red and flustered, always trying to act tough…”

A hint of curiosity flickered in her gaze as she attempted to see through Lin Tian beneath his armor.

But she soon discovered that his armor had exceptionally strong magic resistance.

The Dominion Domain could not influence whatever was inside it.

Nor could she peer inside.

Lin Tian quickly responded, “It’s been ten thousand years—people change.”

He had initially kept a playful tone, hoping to lower her guard.

But suddenly, Veilynn’s voice turned razor-sharp again. “People do change. But I never expected you to become so ruthless. Gabriel, Michael, Adam and Eve—they were your comrades, the ones who grew alongside you!… Of course, I don’t particularly care about their deaths. What concerns me more is you~”

As she spoke, her expression shifted again, carrying a trace of ambiguity.

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow. “Oh? I appreciate Jehovah’s concern.”

It seemed he had guessed correctly—this woman still harbored old feelings.

If he launched a sneak attack, his chances of victory would increase significantly.

Just like in fighting games, seizing the initiative was crucial.

“Do you really think that if I wanted to kill you, you could have lived peacefully in Hell for ten thousand years? You even dare to dream of challenging me—have you already reached the power of a Prime God? Do you understand that the only thing separating me from becoming a God-King is a single step?”

Veilynn’s words were dripping with both mockery and arrogance.

Whoosh!!

In an instant, she appeared right in front of Lin Tian, gripping his shoulders tightly as she stared into the eye slits of his armor.

Excitedly, she said, “As long as you’re willing to follow me again, I can teach you Dominion Domain! Do you understand what it means for two people to control Dominion Domain simultaneously? Even if all the God-Kings joined forces, they wouldn’t be our match!”

Dominion Domain was already absurdly powerful when controlled by one person.

But it was not invincible—after all, if the wielder’s magic power was depleted, it would still fail.

If others managed to escape and avoid entering the domain, she would still be powerless against them.

But if two people could control it simultaneously, it would be the ultimate bug!

For instance, Veilynn could manipulate a certain range within her created reality, controlling everything inside.

The flaw was that its range was limited.

However, if another person also possessed this skill, they could create an infinite number of domains within the existing Dominion Domain! They could forge new realities, even covering the entire world!

And Lucifer was the only one who could learn Veilynn’s ability.

“You were someone I created using Dominion Domain, yet you escaped my control. That’s why I’m giving you this opportunity…” Veilynn continued.

Lin Tian suddenly understood everything. No wonder when he fought Adam before, even in death, Adam had remained devoted to Jehovah. His Lucky Steal ability had been completely ineffective against him.

It turned out they were all creations of Jehovah’s Dominion Domain.

What a pity.

He wasn’t Lucifer, so he couldn’t freeload such a powerful ability. His only choice was to eliminate her and see if he could obtain it another way.

Veilynn, growing impatient, shook Lin Tian. “Say something! Will you return to my side? Not only will you gain power, but even I… can be yours…”

“Fuck!”

Lin Tian cursed fiercely in his heart.

What a huge loss! He should have used Abnormal Fusion to maintain Lucifer’s appearance.

He also should have devoured Scarlett to see if he could gain Mimic Magic.

Too late now—there was no point regretting it.

If he wasn’t Lucifer, then he simply wasn’t Lucifer.

Crack!

Suddenly, Veilynn reached out and grabbed the throat of his Ganggu Armor. “Don’t be ungrateful! If I have to, I’ll just kill you and create another! Eventually, someone will break free from my control and become a new individual!”

That was the only way someone could learn her ability.

Listening to the Ganggu Armor creak under her grip, Lin Tian sighed in admiration. “Damn, such terrifying strength? Do it, Loael!”

“Falling Stars!”

Boom!

A massive star crashed down, and the resulting shockwave threw Eden into utter chaos.

The disturbance was immense.

Because it struck near the central lake, the impact sent the lake’s water soaring into the sky!

A momentary torrential downpour followed.

Fish flopped helplessly on the wet ground, struggling desperately.

They would soon suffocate.

“Huff… huff… so, you are the God-King of the Star Sea from the Old Divine Pantheon!”

Amidst the ruins, Veilynn gasped in pain.

Her head was stripped of all flesh, burned down to a blackened skull, her two rows of teeth eerily exposed!

Her arms were shattered, and her body was torn to shreds.

The sheer power of that attack was self-evident!

Most importantly, it was incredibly fast and covered a vast area.

Since it was called Falling Stars, it naturally moved as swiftly as a meteor streaking across the sky.

Lin Tian, protected by the Ganggu Armor, was merely embedded into the ground without suffering much harm.

Veilynn, on the other hand, had worn only light armor. That impact made it as if she had been wearing no protection at all.

However—

As long as the damage wasn’t fatal, it wasn’t damage at all to her.

She opened her ghastly mouth. “Reverse Time!”

Whoosh!

The scattered lake water rose back into the sky! The fish floated upward along with it!

Then, they dropped back down, all landing safely in the lake.

The falling meteor vanished as if it had never been.

Everything returned to how it was a minute ago!

Only the memories remained.

Veilynn’s broken body was fully restored, and she locked her cold, terrifying gaze onto Loael. “The God-King of the Star Sea! Luciferiel, you dare collude with someone like this against me?! You will both… regret this!”

Whoosh!

Loael didn’t hesitate—she cast Falling Stars again!

A meteor shimmered in the sky, preparing to descend!

But this time, Veilynn was ready. She only watched Loael mockingly.

She made no attempt to defend or escape.

Her eyes were filled only with killing intent and ridicule.

Loael had once been a God-King herself—she immediately realized something was wrong and fled at full speed.

Boom!

The meteor changed its trajectory mid-fall, redirected by Veilynn—straight at Loael.

Seeing this, Lin Tian drew his Ten Thousand-Wheel Blade and unleashed his full speed! He was going to take her head first!

Even a God-King would die without a doubt if they were decapitated.

No one could overturn this iron rule.

Unless, before their head was severed, they used a specific life-saving magic—like Blood Dominator.

A technique that allowed them to turn their body into liquid blood in advance, making decapitation meaningless.

“Hmph, Little Phil, you’re too naive.”

Veilynn’s voice dripped with scorn as she slowly turned her head to look at Lin Tian charging toward her.

She reached out her hand—

But Lin Tian wasn’t fooled. “Is that so? This Ganggu Armor has extremely high magic resistance. Your Dominion Domain can’t affect what’s inside! That’s why I dared to challenge you!”

Swish!

However—

Veilynn’s target was not Lin Tian beneath the Ganggu Armor.

In the blink of an eye, the Ten Thousand-Wheel Blade appeared in Veilynn’s hand. She stroked it lightly and said, “A God-Slaying Weapon… Not bad, Little Phil. You actually managed to get your hands on something like this from the dwarves. You’re much more capable than I thought. Tell me, do you think this weapon could pierce through Ganggu Armor’s defenses?”

“You—!”

Lin Tian immediately realized he had been careless, too focused on the fact that he himself was unaffected inside the armor.

He hadn’t considered that the weapon he held outside the armor could still be taken.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Suddenly, the sharp sounds of metal clashing rang out!

At some point, Veilynn had already begun hacking wildly at Lin Tian’s back with the Ten Thousand-Wheel Blade. Countless spinning gears slashed against the Ganggu Alloy.

Sparks flew in all directions!

For the first time in history, Ganggu Alloy was damaged!

The armor was carved with thin, hairline grooves. If this continued, it would eventually be cut open!

“Get off me!”

Boom!

Another meteor crashed down!

Veilynn, however, didn’t care in the slightest. “Foolish creature. No wonder you were overthrown and killed…”

With just a thought, she redirected the falling star—straight toward Loael.

But this time, Loael had learned her lesson. Right behind the first meteor, she had launched a second one!

She quickly dodged, avoiding the attack.

Boom!

A deafening explosion erupted!

Veilynn was once again struck, left battered and barely clinging to life. Enraged, she growled, “Trying to play mind games with me? Then don’t blame me for dealing with you first!”

As she spoke, she activated Reverse Time again.

However, this time, her footing wavered, and she nearly stumbled.

Even within the Dominion Domain, where nearly anything was possible, reversing time consumed an enormous amount of magic power.

Seeing this, Lin Tian quickly reclaimed the Ten Thousand-Wheel Blade and stored it in his spatial ring, deciding not to take it out again.

Then, he unleashed Final Judgment!

Swish!

At that moment, Veilynn had yet to recover and had no way to dodge!

The powerful beam of light shot straight toward her.

Yet she remained utterly unconcerned.

Just before the attack struck her, it suddenly curved 180 degrees—

And reflected straight back at Lin Tian!

Fortunately, the Ganggu Armor’s magic resistance was high. He was merely pushed back a short distance by the impact.

“We gods planned for every possibility, worrying about the emergence of beings that could threaten divine authority in the mortal world. But we never expected one thing… That the slain Old Gods could resurrect!”

Veilynn let out a chilling, gleeful laugh.

“Don’t worry, Little Phil. I won’t kill you. In fact, I’m thrilled! Keh keh keh~ Gaining such crucial intelligence… I’ll notify all the Divine Pantheons immediately. We will launch a full-scale purge of the resurrected Old Gods. And then… I will personally break you. Bit by bit, until you submit to me completely! You will be my plaything!”

Her voice was ice-cold, and her injuries had fully healed.

Her murderous gaze instantly locked onto Loael.

Swish!

In the next second, she lunged forward, driving the Holy Sword of Light straight through Loael’s heart!

Now, she was truly serious.

Holding nothing back.

Killing someone inside the Dominion Domain was effortless for her.

Dodging was simply impossible.

Blood trickled from the corners of Loael’s lips. She hurriedly cast magic—

Meteor Glide!

Her body shot forward in a desperate bid to escape.

She quickly retrieved a healing potion, but just as she was about to drink it—

What entered her mouth was a filthy, rancid sock!

The potion had already appeared in Veilynn’s hand. “Want to drink it? Come get it…”

She spoke teasingly as she poured the entire potion onto the ground.

“Veilynn!! You lot only seized your divine cores through vile means, colluding with unholy abominations and heretics! If my strength were fully restored, you—who aren’t even a God-King—wouldn’t even be worthy of speaking to me! Hiding in your fabricated domain, you’re nothing!”

Loael’s voice trembled with fury, her eyes burning with hatred.

But in the very next second—

Her entire body was lifted into the air.

Shlkk!

She was forcefully impaled on the Holy Sword of Light, stabbed repeatedly!

Her entire form was soon drenched in blood.

Seeing this, Lin Tian rushed forward to intervene. He still had one trump card left!

Heart of the Abyss!

“Don’t move! Emperor Lin Tian, set aside your worries. You underestimate the God-King of the Star Sea! If I were to fall so easily, how could I ever stand beside Lady Xiya?”

Loael coughed up blood, but her face remained full of confidence and mockery.

Mockery directed at Veilynn.

“Falling Stars!!”

Buzz!

The warm sunlight of the sky was suddenly replaced by the dazzling glow of countless celestial bodies!

She planned to unleash a full-scale bombardment!

Even if Veilynn wanted to dodge, there would be nowhere to run.

Once she was injured again, she would be forced to use Reverse Time once more.

And that would naturally restore Loael’s own injuries.
