From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 374

Chapter 374: Lin Tian’s Death Choice!

TL: Sungmin

“Damn it, again?!”

Lin Tian looked up at the sky, cursing under his breath.

Although the Ganggu Armor could withstand almost all the damage from the falling meteors, the impact still rattled him, making a mild concussion unavoidable. His stomach churned violently, and it felt like his internal organs were getting twisted into a knot.

As streaks of light rained down, Eden was subjected to a bombardment so intense that it seemed like a full-scale carpet bombing had taken place. The entire place was flipped upside down, reduced to ruins.

A moment later, Lin Tian struggled to climb out of a crater, his head spinning as he checked on Loael and Veilynn.

Veilynn had suffered even worse than before—both of her legs had been blown off, exposing her cheekbones. Her appearance was terrifying, resembling a zombie.

There were simply too many meteors. Even with Dominion Domain, there was nowhere left to escape.

But—

Loael’s condition was even more tragic. Lin Tian scanned the area for a long time, only to find an arm half-buried in the dirt.

Everything else had turned to ashes.

“Heh… How ruthless. So you’re that certain I’ll use Reverse Time? What a shame—you bet wrong!” Veilynn scoffed in disdain, then began chanting.

Eternal Hymn—a magic that granted her an invincible state, fully restoring her injuries and magic while also providing extremely high resistance to physical and magical attacks.

Its power was no less than Dominion Domain.

Swish!

A shadow moved in an instant, violently pinning Veilynn to the ground.

Zzzzz!

Flesh and blood splattered as bones shattered into countless pieces!

Lin Tian drove the Ten Thousand-Wheel Blade into Veilynn’s mouth, ruthlessly twisting and cutting. His expression remained icy cold as he spoke in a low, chilling voice, “Now, are you going to use Reverse Time?”

With her mouth gone, she was completely incapable of chanting.

There was no way he would just stand by and watch Loael die.

Veilynn’s eyes twitched as the high-speed rotating machine shredded her mouth. She nearly passed out.

But before she could lose consciousness, she had no choice but to activate Reverse Time.

Everything rewound to the moment just before Lin Tian had reclaimed the Ten Thousand-Wheel Blade.

Loael, now whole once more, let out a long sigh of relief. “That was truly a strange sensation… experiencing death and resurrection. I really have to thank you for that.”

Veilynn eyed the two of them warily, her mind racing with calculations.

If she attempted to kill Loael again, Loael would surely retaliate with another self-destructive attack.

“…Little Phil, I’m begging you, okay? Come back to me! I can give you everything!”

After much thought, Veilynn decided to eliminate Lin Tian first!

She planned to preserve his corpse and later resurrect him as a puppet.

Of course, the Ganggu Armor was an obstacle. She had to lure him out of it somehow.

After using Reverse Time so many times, her magic reserves were nearly depleted—she couldn’t even cast Eternal Hymn anymore.

A direct assault was no longer a viable option.

Lin Tian snorted coldly. “Is that so? Then, my dear Prime God, you should at least show some sincerity first.”

Swish!

“Is this sincere enough? Whatever you want, I can give you…”

Suddenly, Veilynn’s armor dissolved, leaving her entire body fully exposed before Lin Tian.

Under the hazy, warm sunlight, her flawless, gem-like skin was mesmerizing, as if crafted by the gods.

She moved forward on tiptoe, her delicate hands sliding over Lin Tian’s armored shoulder as she whispered seductively, “You don’t want this? Or… do you just not like my type?”

Loael looked away in disgust. “The esteemed Divine Pantheon’s Prime God… behaving so shamelessly?”

“Hmph, what do you know? This is love~” Veilynn cooed with a flirtatious smile.

Then, her body shifted, transforming into the refined, well-proportioned figure of One-Eyed Owl.

An instant later, she became a petite young girl.

Then a mature lady.

Then a magical beast.

A demi-human.

A woman in a uniform.

Various cosplays…

Lin Tian instinctively took several steps back.

Boom!

A wall suddenly rose behind him, blocking his retreat. A completely sealed-off chamber formed around them, filled with an unspoken tension.

Loael couldn’t resist pressing an ear against the wall to listen in.

“Is this sincere enough, Little Phil? Come on, just come out… I’m really in the mood right now. Consider it my plea to you~

If you return to me, I won’t treat you the same as before. We’ll be equals—ruling the world together! Come on~”

Her sultry, enticing voice echoed.

Loael felt her cheeks flush, her heartbeat quickening. “Even in a situation like this, she’s trying to pull something like this? The Divine Pantheon is truly filthy and shameless!”

“Boom!”

An explosion erupted within the chamber.

Veilynn was blasted away, but she immediately manipulated reality to reappear beside Lin Tian. “Angry, are you? Little Phil… I refuse to believe you can resist me.”

Veilynn continued her attempts to lure Lin Tian out.

Seeing this fiery scene unfold, Lin Tian indeed felt his composure waver. He had no choice but to keep attacking. “Your Majesty, Prime God, isn’t this a bit too shameless?”

He knew exactly what she was trying to do.

If he left the Ganggu Armor, he would immediately fall under her Dominion Domain influence.

So he relentlessly attacked her.

Unfortunately, no matter what attack he launched, every single one inexplicably missed Veilynn, veering off course.

Some even flew toward Loael instead.

As the one controlling the reality of this domain, Veilynn was practically invincible.

“Tired? If you are, I can massage you~ Any technique you like, I can do it~”

Veilynn playfully twirled her delicate fingers, her seductive eyes blooming like flowers.

Any ordinary man would have already succumbed to temptation.

Lin Tian forced himself to remain calm, waiting for the perfect opportunity to use Heart of the Abyss.

Loael, noticing the situation, formed a magic array in her hands. “Star Shatter!”

Countless shards of stardust, like a barrage of shotgun pellets, shot toward Veilynn—at least hundreds of them.

Given the sheer number, it was unlikely she could redirect all of them at once. As for Lin Tian, even if he got hit, it shouldn’t be a big issue.

Veilynn’s previously flirtatious gaze turned icy cold as she sneered. “Since you insist on courting death, don’t blame me~”

“Swish!”

In an instant, their positions swapped!

“What?!”

Loael’s pupils shrank in shock—she never expected such a move!

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

Sparks flew everywhere!

Lin Tian reacted quickly, pulling Loael behind him, shielding her as the countless Star Shatter fragments struck his Ganggu Armor.

Black scorch marks dotted the surface.

The impact was not small.

If it had been a person instead, they would have been torn to shreds instantly—no different from getting hit by a Barrett sniper rifle at point-blank range.

Veilynn snorted coldly. “Little Phil, are you really this heartless? My patience has limits! I’ve already lowered myself this much!”

Lin Tian tried to play along. “Come on, Prime God, I just… need more time to prepare~”

There was no need to completely turn hostile just yet.

He had to find the right opportunity to use Heart of the Abyss.

“I’ll give you one last chance! Step out of that armor, kneel, and kiss my feet as a sign of loyalty!”

Veilynn’s expression turned chillingly severe, her voice sharp and commanding.

The atmosphere became tense once again.

Inside the armor, Lin Tian quickly ran through his options—every offensive skill was practically useless here.

Even Lucky Steal wouldn’t work under these circumstances.

After a moment of deep thought, a plan suddenly struck him!

Sucking Veilynn into Heart of the Abyss directly was nearly impossible—there was a casting delay, and she could instantly pull away.

But what if… he absorbed all of Eden into it instead?

That way, she would have nowhere to run.

If she escaped outside Eden, killing her would be far too easy.

Right now, Eden spanned at least two kilometers. Heart of the Abyss only had a range of five hundred meters.

He needed to shrink Eden by fifteen hundred meters.

“Your Highness Loael, what’s your limit?”

Lin Tian’s voice was serious.

Hearing this, Loael froze for a moment, then hesitantly touched her own body. “M-My… limit? What are you talking about?”

“What do you think? Can you start destroying Eden from the edges, shrinking it down to about five hundred meters?” Lin Tian’s voice was exasperated.

Loael flushed slightly. “Well, can you blame me? You two were messing around so much that my brain stopped working properly!”

Then she refocused, her expression growing determined. “Shrink it down to five hundred meters? I’m not sure if I have enough magic, but I can try!”

“What are you planning?!”

Veilynn’s eyes burned with killing intent as she demanded an answer.

Lin Tian shrugged. “I just prefer smaller, more private spaces. This Eden is way too big—why don’t you be a dear and shrink it yourself?”

“Don’t play games with me! Little Phil, do you really think I can’t kill you? You’re forcing my hand! If I kill you and turn your corpse into a puppet, I can still wield Dual Dominion Domains!”

Veilynn’s aura erupted!

A brand-new, pitch-black armor materialized around her, trailing impossibly long golden energy streams behind it.

The sheer presence of it was overwhelming—just looking at it sent shivers down one’s spine!

Swish, swish, swish!

Distant stars in the sky began to flicker ominously.

A deep sense of unease settled in Veilynn’s chest. Gripping her Holy Sword of Light, she charged straight at Loael!

Loael, floating in midair with her eyes closed, was completely focused on casting her magic.

She had no way to defend herself.

Lin Tian immediately flashed forward to intercept the attack.

But in the next instant—

He was teleported several hundred meters away!

The Holy Sword of Light was now mere inches from Loael’s throat!

Lin Tian’s mind raced. In that split second, he realized something. Magic flared from his hands, and an array of light burst forth!

Veilynn merely glanced at it dismissively. This was just another attack—easily redirected.

Or so she thought.

But this time, she found—it didn’t work!

Because Anubis’ Soul Drain was a locked-on attack!

A towering phantom of an ancient jackal-headed god emerged, gripping a massive battle-axe and swinging it mercilessly toward Veilynn!

Soul Trauma!

For a brief moment, her consciousness faltered.

Lin Tian seized the opportunity, flashing forward and delivering a devastating punch!

Veilynn’s entire body was sent flying.

That was dangerously close.

If Loael had died, Veilynn would have had nothing holding her back. No matter how well Lin Tian hid within the Ganggu Armor, she would have slowly worn him down to death.

At times like this, the importance of a team became clear.

The more allies, the more hands available to help.

But in reality, Alice, One-Eyed Owl, and Gobu Kuang wouldn’t have made a difference if they were here. They would have been instantly skewered, incapable of dodging in the first place.

It was all thanks to Falling Stars, Loael’s large-scale self-destructive attack.

Otherwise, she would have died beyond salvation long ago.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At that moment, explosions resounded along the edges of Eden!

Hundreds of meteors rained down, each one compacting and collapsing the space.

It took about 500 meteors to destroy just 100 meters of space.

To reduce Eden by 1500 meters, 7500 meteors were required.

If spread out, these 7500 meteors could annihilate ten Goblin Empires!

“Stop this at once!”

Veilynn’s voice suddenly rang out as she recovered and launched another attack!

Lin Tian roared, casting another mental attack spell—Ruinous Howl.

It was a low-level ability, but its instant cast and sneak attack capability made it a staple move in his arsenal.

Unfortunately—

This spell couldn’t compare to Anubis’ Soul Drain. It was a detached attack, not a locked-on one.

With just a thought, Veilynn redirected it back toward Lin Tian!

But with Ganggu Armor’s defense, Ruinous Howl had little effect on him.

Veilynn sneered. “Hmph, she’s dead for sure. And you—you will die too!”

“Whoosh!”

The next second, Lin Tian was teleported hundreds of meters away!

Veilynn’s Holy Sword of Light was already poised to pierce Loael’s heart.

She had to kill Loael before the meteors landed on her.

Completely unaware of Lin Tian’s true objective.

Lin Tian didn’t hesitate—he pulled out Heart of the Abyss and hurled it with all his might!

A massive, spherical, deep-blue orb shot forward, hovering in midair before unfurling an enormous magic array!

Swish!

A terrifying suction force erupted, consuming everything within range!

Veilynn’s instincts were razor-sharp. The moment Lin Tian threw the artifact, she flashed several hundred meters away, narrowly escaping Heart of the Abyss’s pull.

She watched as countless chunks of earth, buildings, and debris were swallowed into the abyss, then scoffed.

“Was this your plan? Trying to trap me? This entire domain is under my Dominion! You think you can ambush me? Impossible!”

But then—

As the meteors continued their descent, the sheer shockwaves forced her to retreat even further.

She was gradually being pushed toward Heart of the Abyss’s range.

She tried to teleport behind the meteor barrage, but the space there had already collapsed and compressed.

If she left her Dominion Domain, she would be reduced to a mere Prime God-level being.

Barely stronger than Gabriel.

She knew Lin Tian would kill her instantly in such a state.

“Hmph, no matter what that is, as long as it’s within my domain, it can’t possibly harm me!”

Veilynn extended her hand toward Heart of the Abyss, trying to wrest control of it.

Zzzzt!

A burst of lightning surged from Heart of the Abyss, shattering the ground around her!

The shock nearly tore her apart.

Lin Tian smirked. “This is Dwarven King Berun’s most prized masterpiece, enchanted with a Mythic-Class Restriction. Its priority override surpasses your Dominion!”

Once activated, no one could turn it off—except its wielder.

That was why Berun had once boasted that even if ten God-Kings stood before him, if they couldn’t find the one method to counteract it, they would still die!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under Heart of the Abyss’s immense suction, the very ground fractured and collapsed, twisting the space into a vortex!

Back when Berun used it, he hadn’t even activated its full power.

Lin Tian, however, had cranked it to maximum output.

No matter what—it was do or die—Veilynn could not be allowed to escape.

The entire 500-meter radius around Eden was now being absorbed along with everything inside it!

But Lin Tian had control over the magic array’s friendly-fire filter, ensuring that neither he nor Loael would be pulled in.

He immediately dashed beyond the Dominion Domain’s range, bracing himself.

His grip tightened around Ten Thousand-Wheel Blade, his eyes glowing crimson, his expression monstrous.

If Veilynn dared to flee—

He would kill her in an instant.
