From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 384

Chapter 384: Unsealing the Curse, Awakening the Divine Core!

TL: Sungmin

“Women will only slow down your forging speed! A heart free of women forges a true god!” Lin Tian spoke with the air of an elder imparting wisdom.

Upon hearing this, Bill seemed to grasp something. “So this is why His Majesty Lin Tian is so strong? I understand now!”

Without hesitation, he turned back and continued his forging.

Lin Tian was momentarily stunned, feeling an inexplicable sense of guilt.

The reason he was so strong? It seemed more like his heart was full of women, and his strength naturally followed.

Once Bill finished forging everything, he would pull him back from this misguided path.

Then, Lin Tian turned to Lia and said, “Keep studying what’s in the Shadow Scroll. Once you fully master it, your strength can reach the level of a Peak Prime God.”

According to the system’s description of the Shadow Scroll, that was what it stated.

It shouldn’t be wrong.

Upon hearing the term Peak Prime God, Lia was visibly stunned.

She had never imagined she could become such an existence!

If she reached the level of a Peak Prime God, she would even surpass Gabriel, standing on par with Jehovah’s Veilynn, Athena, Poseidon, Hades, Thor, and others!

“Boss, I will definitely do it! You’ve protected me for so long—it’s my turn to protect you now!”

Lia cheered herself on, her beautiful eyes filled with determination.

Lin Tian felt gratified and said no more.

Estimating the time, he realized that about a month had passed. It was time to see things through to the end. He had to remove the Elf Queen’s curse, allowing her to condense a Divine Core and ascend as a deity.

With that thought, he teleported back to the Goblin Empire.

Then, he made his way to the teleportation formation leading to the Elf Kingdom.

Stepping inside, he vanished into the teleportation light.

At that moment.

In front of the Elf Temple’s teleportation formation, a group of stationed elves noticed movement. Their faces lit up with excitement.

Lita, the one in charge, immediately spoke, “His Majesty Goblin King is here! Quickly, go inform Her Majesty the Queen!”

Currently, she held a dual role as the highest commander of the Elf Kingdom and the one responsible for Lin Tian’s ceremonial welcome.

“The rest of you, prepare the welcoming ceremony!”

Lita had already laid out a long, luxurious red carpet.

Over a dozen handpicked, breathtakingly beautiful elf maids stood in formation before the teleportation formation, dressed in elegant maid outfits.

At the very front, two of them held baskets filled with flower petals, ready to scatter them.

Behind them, some carried trays of assorted fruits, others held fine wine, while some presented delicacies unique to the Elf Kingdom.

As the light of the teleportation array faded.

Lin Tian appeared in front of the temple.

“Welcome, great Goblin King~”

Lita bowed beside him and spoke with reverence.

She then began scattering the flower petals.

Lin Tian was completely thrown off by this bizarre display, even more so than when he first entered the Succubus Parlor.

It could only be described as an extravagant, indulgent spectacle—akin to a wine pool and forest of meat.

For the first time.

Lin Tian actually felt a little wicked himself.

The way these elves viewed themselves as complete servants made one wonder if they all had some self-punishing mindset or a submissive complex.

But since they wanted it this way.

Lin Tian had no reason to refuse. “Mm, I’m here to see Her Majesty the Queen. There’s something of utmost importance that I must tell her personally.”

Upon hearing this.

Lita’s eyes brightened, and she quickly led the way. “Her Majesty the Queen is already on her way here. It won’t take long—please follow me toward the palace in the meantime~”

They had just stepped out of the temple.

When a silver-haired elf girl appeared at the crossroads ahead—elegant and noble, exuding an extraordinary aura even among the countless beautiful elves.

Yet Lin Tian was unwilling to accept the obvious truth. “You… you’re Her Majesty the Queen?”

The previous Elf Queen had looked sickly, exuding an ominous aura, and seemed to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight in human years.

But now, she had transformed into an eighteen-year-old elf girl!

“Your Majesty Goblin King, according to your instructions, I have removed the Shadow Power, and my body has mostly recovered. Do I look very different?”

The Elf Queen slightly bowed and playfully poked her own cheek.

Then she continued, “Do you not like it?”

Lin Tian quickly waved his hand. “That has nothing to do with liking or disliking—I’m just surprised by how much you’ve changed.”

“Right, I have something very important to tell you. Let’s go to the Royal Palace Hall first.”

The group returned to the Royal Palace.

Lita and the other elves appeared very shy.

Ever since Lin Tian had left last time, he had practically become a legend known throughout every elf household, the divine protector of the Elf Kingdom.

A being with a soul far more noble and sacred than any elf.

In other words.

All these elves were coveting Lin Tian.

At this moment.

The Elf Queen led Lin Tian toward the royal throne beside her own. “Your Majesty Goblin King, this throne was built for you. In the Elf Kingdom, your authority and status are above even mine~”

Huh?

A faint feeling of discomfort spread through Lin Tian.

These elves… was this their way of repaying a favor with excessive gratitude?

Even the throne had been willingly offered to him!

It made sense, though. After thousands upon tens of thousands of years of darkness, suffering, and oppression, the sudden kindness of an outsider might have overwhelmed them.

Lin Tian didn’t refuse and simply took a seat.

The Elf Queen then added, “I’m actually only three hundred years old. In elf terms, that’s still quite young, so you don’t have to be surprised.”

“Hmm, in that case, I won’t waste time. This matter is extremely important, and I hope everyone else can leave for now.”

Lin Tian got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Lita and the other high-ranking elves exchanged glances before swiftly exiting the royal hall.

On the Elf Queen’s youthful and delicate face, an air of authority emerged as she spoke with concern, “Your Majesty Goblin King, please speak.”

Since it was something that the Goblin King deemed important, it had to be of utmost significance.

As queen, she couldn’t afford to be negligent.

Lin Tian spoke in a solemn tone. “Do you know that within your Elf Race, particularly among the royal lineage, there exists a deeply sealed curse?”

God was fair.

Every race had been granted blessings and great abilities.

Of course, the God he referred to wasn’t Zeus or Loael, but rather a higher existence from another world.

The Elf Queen shook her head. “We elves have existed for over ten thousand years, but I’ve never heard of any royal curse. Maybe there were records in ancient times, but with the breaks in history, we have no way of knowing.”

Then, suddenly, the Elf Queen seemed to think of something. “If you mean a curse, then perhaps it’s that the gods granted us unparalleled beauty but never gave us the strength to protect ourselves or even any males… Does that count as a curse?”

That “curse” had tormented the Elf Race for tens of thousands of years.

It could indeed be considered a curse.

The goblins, having no females of their own, were forced to abduct women from other races, which led them down a path of evil and darkness, making them universally despised and hunted.

In normal circumstances, killing and eating flesh was something that most monsters did.

But stealing women—that was what made a race an enemy of the world.

Yet, at the same time, goblins were granted the God’s Blessing and the Gene Devour ability, which, if used properly, could make them an incredibly powerful race.

“It seems this really comes down to luck. If you hadn’t met me, you might never have been able to break this curse.”

Lin Tian’s gaze suddenly became wicked, scanning the Elf Queen up and down.

Had they not endured ten thousand years of oppression, they wouldn’t have reacted with such excessive gratitude and developed such adoration for him.

Upon hearing his words.

The Elf Queen’s eyes filled with emotion. “That’s wonderful! Then, Your Majesty Goblin King, how do we break it?”

“Hmm, well… it requires some… deep interaction.”

Lin Tian’s tone carried an awkward hesitation.

“Interaction?”

The Elf Queen blinked in confusion, impatiently asking, “What kind of interaction?”

Looking at her pure face and innocent aura.

Lin Tian knew how strange this was going to sound, but he still leaned in and whispered in her ear.

Even though he had plenty of experience, saying it out loud in front of a woman still felt utterly bizarre.

As soon as she heard the method.

The Elf Queen’s clear, curious eyes trembled violently!

She instinctively took a few steps back.

Her face was filled with absolute shock.

Lin Tian immediately sensed that something was wrong.

It seemed he needed to take things step by step—this was too sudden.

But then he thought of the system’s reward—500 Life Points! Today, even if he had to push his limits, he had to get it done.

500 Life Points—that was enough to redeem something top-tier from the system.

He had already waited a full month for her to recover—he had done more than enough!

However,

Just as Lin Tian was about to resort to forceful measures.

A single tear slipped from the Elf Queen’s eye. “I’m sorry, Your Majesty Goblin King. If this truly can break the curse and awaken my Divine Core, then… then I must hurt you!”

…

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Lin Tian wondered if he had misheard.

“Please forgive me. Truly, please forgive me! If I succeed, I will do everything in my power to repay you—to make it up to you, Your Majesty…”

The Elf Queen’s beautiful eyes glistened with tears, full of guilt.

Yet her steps continued to move toward Lin Tian!

At the same time, she was secretly activating an ability she had learned from the Shadow Scroll.

Even though she had removed her Shadow Power, some abilities didn’t require Shadow Power to be used.

For example, the control-type skill—”Black Soul Bind.”

Dark tendrils of energy shot up from the ground, wrapping around Lin Tian like tentacles, restraining him completely.

“What the hell—what is this?!”

Lin Tian was still stunned, unable to react in time.

The Elf Queen waved her hand, and a black mist engulfed the entire royal hall. “Your Majesty Goblin King, forgive my rudeness, forgive my selfishness, and please forgive me for what I must do next.”

“Huh?!”

As a wave of fragrance and softness enveloped Lin Tian.

He never in his wildest dreams imagined that this was what she was thinking!!

…

Outside the Royal Hall.

Lita suddenly felt a sharp tightness in her chest, her expression turning serious.

The other elves couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

“I don’t know… I just suddenly feel very uneasy. It’s like… something incredibly precious has just disappeared forever.”

Lita lowered her head, her breath growing uneven.

The other elves’ expressions changed drastically. “Could it be that Her Majesty the Queen… did something to His Majesty the Goblin King…?”

Hearing this, Lita finally realized what had happened. “It seems I was right… That holy and noble soul has ultimately been claimed by Her Majesty the Queen…”

Time passed.

Lita and the others could no longer hold back their curiosity. They suddenly burst open the doors. “Your Majesty Goblin King, don’t be afraid! We’re here to save you!”

Whoosh!

A powerful gust of wind rushed into the royal hall.

The black mist conjured by the Elf Queen was instantly blown away.

What they saw before them shocked them to the core!

Lin Tian lay collapsed on the ground, completely motionless!

Meanwhile, the Elf Queen was calmly adjusting her light garments, her body overflowing with an immense magical power!

In an instant, her mana surged out of the royal hall, spreading like a colossal dragon, as if it would devour everything!

Lita couldn’t help but reprimand her. “Your Majesty the Queen, why… why did you do this to His Majesty the Goblin King?! He was our kingdom’s most precious guest!”

For the first time, the other elves also showed dissatisfaction toward their queen.

But the Elf Queen slowly turned to face them, her emerald-green eyes bursting with a brilliant magical light!

In that instant, a powerful force engulfed them all!

A series of magic formations emerged beneath her feet, layering around her like soul rings!

“Lita, everyone, forgive my selfishness and wickedness, but I swear that I will do everything in my power to repay His Majesty the Goblin King. He is merely… temporarily exhausted.”

The Elf Queen’s voice echoed through the royal hall, resounding like a sacred hymn, sending shivers down their very souls!

Lita quickly rushed forward to check on Lin Tian. Only then did she notice that he was still breathing, and more importantly, he had a deeply satisfied smile on his face, as if he were overjoyed.

Only then did she finally relax.

But she still asked, “Why did you do this?”

The Elf Queen felt the power surging within her body. “I have broken the Royal Curse, awakened my Divine Core, and become the first deity in elven history!”

“W-What?! You have become a god?!”

Lita and the other elves were instantly stunned.

The overwhelming divine pressure in the air grew more and more intense, making everyone’s legs tremble until they could no longer stand—they all fell to their knees!

By now, the Elf Queen was already enveloped in a green tornado-like aura of magic.

Suddenly, a beam of divine light shot up from beneath her feet, piercing through the palace ceiling and illuminating the sky!

It was as if a falling star had crashed into the land.

From the heavens, a bright green sphere of energy descended slowly, merging into the Elf Queen’s floating figure.

At that moment, her entire body seemed as if it were about to split apart, covered in glowing green runes.

A monumental power surged into her!

Her attributes skyrocketed, her mana surged, and even her physical defenses underwent an earth-shattering transformation!

She had obtained the exclusive divine power of the Elf Race—
“Power of Nature!”

With it, she could manipulate the land, mountains, rivers, and even the elements—wind, fire, lightning, and more—at will!

Previously, after removing her Shadow Power, her combat strength had only been a little over 20,000.

Now, it had soared to 70,000 in an instant!

And it could still climb even higher!

After all, there had always been only one ruler of the elves. In the past, a new ruler could only be born from the Sacred Mountain’s Secret Realm once the previous queen had passed away.

Now, the power accumulated over countless generations of rulers had completely erupted within this Elf Queen.

That was why her strength had surged to such an unfathomable level.

“Hah!”

The Elf Queen took a deep, trembling breath, her pupils quivering!

She could hear the distant sound of rivers flowing… thousands of miles away!

She could sense torrential rain—from a place she did not know!

She could feel hurricanes sweeping across the grasslands!

Everything that happened in the natural world seemed to be within her grasp.

At this moment, she was like the God-King of the Elf Divine Pantheon!

Of course, she was still far from being a true God-King in terms of strength.

“This power…”

The Elf Queen murmured in slight fear, trying to calm herself down, as she was still unable to fully control the Power of Nature.

Then, her gaze landed on Lin Tian, who lay on the ground.

At that moment, an overwhelming sense of gratitude and joy overflowed within her, and tears began to stream from her eyes!

Lita and the others were just as excited and overjoyed.

As beings born from nature itself, they could clearly sense the terrifying divine power now radiating from their queen!
