From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 378
Chapter 378: King of Dragons, the 2000-Meter Dragon God!
TL: Sungmin
Among the dozen or so giant dragons before them, three were of the dark element.
Leading the group was a magnificent dragon with pristine white scales edged in gold, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.
It was clearly a Light Dragon.
Among single-element dragons, it could be considered on par with a Crystal Dragon.
Lin Tian observed with interest and mused, “So this is what a Light Dragon looks like? Not bad. I should consider bringing some back to form a Dragon Knight Corps.”
Stare!
A pair of golden eyes with pitch-black pupils locked onto Lin Tian with intense focus.
The Light Dragon’s fury surged instantly, and it demanded, “Wretched goblin, what did you just say?!”
“This esteemed kin, please do not be so quick to anger,” the Flame Dragon Mother spoke meekly, attempting to explain. “It is true that our ancestors were expelled from Dragon Island, but that was a long time ago. It only happened because our ancestors offended the Light Dragon God at the time—”
She was abruptly cut off by the Light Dragon’s stern rebuke. “Silence! You lowly criminal dragon, you have no right to speak to me! And no matter the reason, a dragon that has been exiled will forever remain a disgrace—nothing but a lowly criminal dragon!”
“That’s right! The Dragon King has granted all dragons on Dragon Island the right to hunt criminal dragons at will!”
“Why don’t we kill her and see what Fire Dragon meat tastes like? Keh keh keh!”
The group of dragons laughed sinisterly, their expressions dripping with malice.
Their eyes were not those of kin looking at one of their own but of predators staring at prey.
The Light Dragon continued, “I was speaking to that filthy Goblin. The rest of you have no right to interrupt!”
Hearing this, Lin Tian’s expression darkened.
Sensing the tension, the Purple-Gold Dragon Mother hurriedly interjected, “Wait, wait! We came here without any ill intent. Please don’t misunderstand or act impulsively. Let’s talk this through.”
She knew all too well that if Lin Tian became enraged, Dragon Island would face an unspeakable catastrophe.
This was, after all, their ancestral land.
She did not wish to see it turned into a blood-soaked hellscape.
“And what are you supposed to be?” The Light Dragon sneered. “Do you think being a Crystal Dragon gives you the right to lecture me? A mere juvenile at only five hundred meters—today, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
With a sudden explosion of fury, the Light Dragon lunged at the Purple-Gold Dragon Mother, its gaping maw wide open!
A thousand-meter-long dominant male dragon—there was no way a five-to-six-hundred-meter female dragon could withstand it.
In fact—
The Purple-Gold Dragon Mother was so overwhelmed by the terrifying Dragon Might that she was momentarily stunned, completely forgetting to dodge!
At this critical moment—
A dark shadow suddenly appeared and collided with the Light Dragon!
A dull, thunderous impact echoed through the air, accompanied by what seemed to be the sound of bones cracking!
It was Little Black!
She now stood in front of the Purple-Gold Dragon Mother, her fangs bared in a terrifying snarl, her eyes ferocious, strands of saliva still hanging from her gaping maw.
The primal savagery within her surged!
This was what it meant to be a Dark Element Dragon influenced by Goblin genes!
The sheer brutality radiating from her was unmistakable!
Even the other dragons behind her trembled—those of the dark element included. None dared make a sound.
“Roar!”
At that moment, Little Black’s violent instincts were fully unleashed. She roared with murderous intent!
She charged straight toward the Light Dragon, who was still tumbling through the air after the collision.
She had no intention of stopping until she bit him to death!
The Purple-Gold Dragon Mother hurriedly held her back. “Little Black, wait! Don’t be rash!”
But Little Black’s eyes had already turned blood-red—there was no stopping her.
Seeing this, the Light Dragon struggled desperately to stabilize its body in mid-air, using all its strength against the momentum pulling it downward.
However, the moment it looked up, it saw a massive, pitch-black dragon lunging toward it with bared fangs.
Fear paralyzed it—there was no time to escape!
“Slash!”
Three powerful claws tore through its scales, sending blood splattering into the air!
Even worse, the attack carried the power of Annihilation, corrupting its body and draining its strength. If untreated within three days, the infection would be fatal.
Due to their enormous size, dragons needed considerable space to turn around after an attack—just like modern fighter jets.
The Light Dragon seized this moment and aimed at Little Black’s back, opening its mouth to charge an energy beam.
“Destruction Dragon Breath!”
“Whoosh!”
A radiant beam of light streaked across the sky, shooting straight toward Little Black!
Everyone watching tensed in suspense.
But Little Black had already been prepared. She had charged her own Dragon Breath in advance and whipped around abruptly, unleashing her attack!
A black and white beam clashed mid-air!
The other dragons sneered at the scene. “Hah! Light Element Dragons counter Dark Element Dragons. Going head-to-head in a Dragon Breath clash? She’s dead for sure!”
And that was true.
If a Light Dragon’s breath entered a Dark Dragon’s body, it would ignite the creature from the inside out, reducing its organs to ash.
However—
Everyone was caught off guard when they realized that Little Black had never intended to clash breath attacks in the first place!
While her breath was still surging forward, she forced herself to fly straight ahead, closing the distance between her and the Light Dragon!
“Crunch!”
Her gaping maw clamped down viciously on the Light Dragon’s long, gold-and-white neck, sending blood spraying everywhere!
The Light Dragon let out a wailing shriek, its voice broken by the gaping wound!
Little Black forcibly tore off a large chunk of flesh!
This savage act was nothing like what an elemental dragon would do—it was far more reminiscent of a primordial dragon.
Her method of attack was pure, unfiltered brutality—biting!
The Light Dragon’s neck wound gushed blood, and though it struggled desperately to escape, it was utterly unable to do so, as Little Black relentlessly pursued it.
“That’s enough, Little Black! Things haven’t escalated to that point yet!”
The Purple-Gold Dragon Mother finally spoke.
Little Black was unharmed, which was the most important thing. But more than that, they didn’t want to completely sever ties with Dragon’s Nest.
Otherwise, they would be forever branded as criminals in the history of dragonkind.
For those with a modern mindset, this might seem foolish. But for beings like them, whose way of thinking was rooted in ancient traditions—especially as magical creatures—this belief was deeply ingrained.
The Flame Dragon Mother also tried to persuade Little Black.
However, in her frenzy, Little Black paid no heed to either of them.
She continued chasing after the Light Dragon, biting at it again and again. Droplets of golden dragon blood rained down into the ocean below.
Countless monstrous sea creatures swarmed toward the surface, scrambling to devour the precious liquid.
At that moment—
A voice rang out, calm yet filled with immense authority.
“That’s enough, Little Black. Stop.”
It was Lin Tian.
He had understood the intentions of the Flame Dragon Mother and the Purple-Gold Dragon Mother. If something as simple as this could satisfy them, then he would let it be.
Otherwise, they would carry this regret in their hearts forever.
But Lin Tian himself had no such concerns. Instead, he was about to offer Dragon’s Nest two choices.
Hearing his voice, Little Black’s blood-red eyes gradually cleared.
With clear reluctance, she turned and flew back to Lin Tian’s side.
The Light Dragon, finally catching a breath in midair, snarled viciously, “You’ll regret this! You will all regret doing this! You’re challenging all of Dragon’s Nest!!!”
“Shut up!”
Buzz!
Dark Holy Word activated!
A powerful wave of pressure swept over the dragons, making them tremble.
Lin Tian looked down on them coldly. “I, the King of the Goblin Empire, hereby declare that you have two choices. One—return and inform your Dragon King, inviting us as honored guests. If you choose the second option, then I won’t be coming as a guest—but as a Dragon Slayer.”
Hearing this—
The Light Dragon wasted no time. With a sharp look to its kin, it turned and fled with its tail between its legs.
To it, Little Black wasn’t a dragon—she was a deranged beast, a monster that could not be restrained!
She had nearly torn its head clean off.
As they retreated, one of the dragons couldn’t help but ask, “Who was that Goblin? Just a single word from him, and that lunatic stopped instantly. What do we do?”
“What do you think? He said it himself—he’s the Goblin King. Hah! A mere Goblin thinks he can become a Dragon Slayer? First, let’s report this to His Majesty. We’ll return with more dragons and slaughter every last one of those criminal dragons!”
The Light Dragon’s eyes burned with killing intent. The humiliation was unbearable.
It should have won the Dragon Breath clash easily.
But that damned Little Black had refused to play by the rules and had simply charged in to bite.
By now, the wounds on the Light Dragon’s body had already begun to heal.
That was one of the Light Dragon’s natural abilities—its regenerative power was exceptionally fast.
The dragons arrived at Dragon Island, flying toward its tallest volcano, an enormous mountain over ten thousand meters high.
The entire mountainside was densely packed with dragon nests, creating a breathtaking sight.
At the summit, the volcanic crater was sealed with a thick layer of solidified obsidian.
At its center stood an enormous nest—far larger than an ordinary thousand-meter dragon’s dwelling.
It was estimated to be nearly two thousand meters in size!
Inside the nest lay a massive dragon, its brown-black skin crisscrossed with golden cracks. Unlike most dragons, it had no scales.
One of its eyes gleamed crimson, the other an icy blue.
Its enormous horns crackled with electricity.
This was the Dragon King of Dragon’s Nest—Moqi.
A legendary being among dragons, possessing an unprecedented seven combined elements!
As his red and blue eyes suddenly snapped open, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky!
The Light Dragon and the others trembled in fear, pressing their heads to the ground in submission.
Until the Dragon King spoke, they were not permitted to utter a single word.
To do so would be to invite his wrath.
Moqi slowly rose to his feet. His four muscular limbs exuded an overwhelming presence, and his deep, rumbling voice resonated like distant thunder.
“What happened? Why are you covered in wounds?”
The Light Dragon, feigning a pitiful expression, replied, “Your Majesty, some criminal dragon offspring tried to enter Dragon Island. We stopped them, but they suddenly attacked me, tearing into my flesh! I beg Your Majesty to send Battle Dragons to annihilate them all!”
Battle Dragons—these were dragons with at least two elements.
Just like Little Black.
Moqi had assumed it was something serious, but upon hearing this, he responded indifferently, “No problem. What kind of dragon leads them?”
The current situation was unstable, and it was always better to recruit more powerful dragons when possible.
However, if they were below the threshold of possessing at least three combined elements, he wouldn’t even bother looking at them.
Dragons with multiple elements weren’t simply born from crossbreeding two different element dragons. Typically, offspring inherited the mother dragon’s element.
It was incredibly rare for a dragon to inherit two elements.
Three or four was even more unheard of.
Hearing this, the Light Dragon hesitated before responding, “I’m not sure. The strongest among them seemed to be the Dark Element Dragon that attacked me.”
“A Dark Element Dragon?”
That had some strategic value.
But no matter what, forgiving the descendants of criminal dragons for the sake of a single Dark Dragon was out of the question. This was a matter of principle.
Moqi’s face was filled with disappointment. “Kill them all.”
“Oh, right, Your Majesty… there was also… a goblin,” the Light Dragon hesitated before speaking. “He called himself the King of the Goblin Empire and claimed he wanted to visit as a guest.”
As a proud Ancient Dragon, one of the most superior beings among magical creatures, the Light Dragon held absolute disdain for Goblins, who were nothing more than lowly creatures.
The only reason he even mentioned it was to report the matter truthfully.
However, upon hearing this, Dragon King Moqi grew visibly irritated.
“A Goblin?! Are you serious? You dare waste my time with such nonsense? Even if he were a Goblin God, he would still be nothing but a lowly creature!”
To him, even acknowledging such a thing was an insult.
That was why he was so furious.
The Light Dragon trembled in fear, looking utterly terrified.
But suddenly, Moqi spoke again.
“I want to see for myself… just what kind of criminal dragon dares to run rampant here! Come with me!”
Whoosh!
With a mighty beat of his colossal wings, a raging hurricane swept through the air!
One of the dragons hesitated and asked, “Should we inform the Battle Dragons?”
“You fool! With the Dragon King here, what need is there for Battle Dragons? Just follow along and enjoy the show!”
The Light Dragon’s eyes gleamed with sinister delight. He was absolutely ecstatic.
…
Outside the Island.
Lin Tian had already donned his Ganggu Armor, a magic formation for flight glowing beneath his feet as he hovered in midair.
His cold gaze was fixed straight ahead.
He was only here to gather information.
How he obtained that information was irrelevant.
At that moment—
The Flame Dragon Mother, Purple-Gold Dragon Mother, Little Black, and Spark—all four dragons’ pupils suddenly shrank!
Their anxious roars echoed through the air. It was obvious—they were terrified!
This was the overwhelming presence of a true Dragon King at the 2000-meter level!
Lin Tian frowned slightly, his eyes locked onto the massive shadow in the distance.
In mere seconds, it had arrived right before them!
A 1000-meter dragon was already an unfathomable colossus.
But to think that there existed a 2000-meter dragon—
This was simply monstrous!

Lin Tian glanced at the status panel, feeling a slight sense of admiration.
As expected, its power was formidable—nearly 70,000.
This was certainly the Dragon King.
But Ancient Dragons were primarily designed for large-scale warfare.
In a one-on-one battle against an opponent of equal power, they were at a disadvantage.
Right now, Lin Tian also had a combat power of 70,000.
There was absolutely no reason to fear this so-called Dragon God.
“It’s over… this… this is the Dragon King?! No—this is a Dragon God!!!”
The Flame Dragon Mother’s heart pounded wildly. She didn’t even dare to meet Moqi’s gaze.
The Purple-Gold Dragon Mother was likewise paralyzed with terror, unsure of what to do.
For dragons, the pressure they felt was ten times, even a hundred times what Lin Tian experienced!
Even Little Black appeared uneasy.
However, due to her Goblin bloodline, the effect was not as severe.
As for Spark, whose Goblin blood was thinner, she trembled just like the other two dragons. Her pupils shook, and she hadn’t dared to glance at Moqi even once.
The Flame Dragon Mother wanted to tell Lin Tian to flee, but her voice refused to come out!
“There! Dragon King! That’s the arrogant, insolent criminal dragon! And that arrogant Goblin—the one who dares call himself a Dragon Slayer! Rip them to shreds!” The Light Dragon arrived, roaring in fury.
The way he barked orders so confidently—like a coward hiding behind power—was nauseating.
However—
Moqi—
No, the entire massive dragon—froze in place.
His eyes remained locked onto Lin Tian.
From confusion—
To shock—
To pure, unfiltered fear!
Four words flashed through his mind—
“Ganggu Armor”!!!
