From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 391

Chapter 391: Evolution to God-Level, A New System!

TL: Sungmin

Lin Tian, clad in Ganggu Armor, firmly stomped on Ares.

Through the transparent visor of his chest plate, Ares’ previously arrogant expression instantly froze, replaced by sheer terror.

His entire body broke out in goosebumps under that gaze!

“You… you bastard! What do you want to do?!” Ares trembled as he spoke.

Because he recognized that look—it was the gaze of a beast eyeing its prey!

More importantly, it was the gaze of a beast about to feast, preparing to devour its prey!

He wasn’t mistaken. This goblin was planning to eat him!

At the same time, Hermes was screaming in agony, “Damn you, Loael! I won’t let you get away with this! If you’re going to kill me, just do it!”

He never expected a sealing magic barrier to be in place.

That meant the only way out was death—followed by resurrection at the Divine Pillar.

But compared to the information he had just discovered, even that seemed trivial.

He almost wished for a quick end.

“These boots aren’t bad. I’ll take them.”

The One-Eyed Owl darted forward in a rapid burst of compressed acceleration, snatching away the severed legs.

Traveler’s Boots were still attached to them.

Hermes’ face twitched slightly, but he quickly let it go. “That’s my power, not the boots! I’ll just make another pair later, hmph!”

“Oh? Too bad, you won’t get that chance.”

The One-Eyed Owl sneered, tossing away the foul-smelling feet.

A horde of magical beasts immediately swarmed over, gnawing at them hungrily.

Divine flesh—an incredible nourishment.

Upon hearing this, Hermes couldn’t even be bothered to sneer. “You half-blood demigods with your feeble remnants of divinity will never understand! You have no idea! True gods like us, who possess a Divine Core, can resurrect from the Divine Pillar!”

“Who says I don’t understand?”

The One-Eyed Owl’s expression was chilling as she spoke.

At that moment, Hermes felt a pang of fear. “What do you mean?!”

Because he knew—some people did exist who could completely kill a god, preventing resurrection.

The One-Eyed Owl simply scoffed without answering.

“Run… Run!!!”

Hermes’ throat nearly tore apart as he screamed in a hysterical frenzy.

Lin Tian, pressing down on Ares, exuded an aura like a demon crawling out of the depths of Hell—an overwhelming, suffocating presence!

It was the presence of a Godslayer!!

That faintly flickering visage of the Grim Reaper—it was the very thing that all gods were born fearing!

Ares was frozen in place, trembling as he tried to counterattack. “Don’t underestimate a true Prime God!!”

Boom!

He threw a punch, a strike powerful enough to shake the heavens and the earth!

It sent Lin Tian flying dozens of meters back.

But that was all it did.

In an instant—

Lin Tian lunged forward and severed Ares’ arm.

Ares screamed in agony, his face twisted with the terror of a god, “No! I refuse to accept this! Hermes, do something!!”

All his Mythic-Class abilities relied on the Warhammer of War to manifest.

He had never once considered that his weapon could be destroyed!

“I’m just a Divine Messenger! What the hell do you want me to do?! You’re the fighter here! We’re doomed! Hahaha, we’re both finished!!”

Hermes’ eyes were stretched wide, his expression crazed and feral.

He had completely run out of options.

Ares collapsed to his knees, utterly consumed by despair. “How… how is this possible? A goblin! A goblin is this strong?! Even the Old Gods have been reborn!”

What crushed him was the undeniable reality that he stood no chance against the foes before him.

Only a Prime God could intervene now.

That meant Poseidon or Hades, Zeus’ two brothers.

Or perhaps Athena, the one who was once prophesied to overthrow Zeus’ rule.

“Wait, Goblin! I am the son of Zeus! I have the backing of the Divine Pantheon! If you spare me, I swear I won’t reveal anything about you!”

Ares wailed, his will to fight completely shattered!

All that remained was fear!

He continued pleading, “I can even sign a master-servant contract with you! I swear I won’t betray you!”

Hearing this, Lin Tian was somewhat tempted.

After all, this was still a god, and not just any god—a Prime God-level existence with a combat power of 50,000.

But without his warhammer, that power had plummeted to around 20,000.

Hermes quickly chimed in as well, “Me too! Spare us, and I’ll serve you!”

They had fought and struggled through countless hardships to reach the pinnacle of this world.

The fear of death was absolute!

“I can feed you intelligence! I can infiltrate the Divine Pantheon!”

“I can lure out other gods for you to slay one by one!”

“I can do that too!”

Ares and Hermes desperately begged for their lives, frantically trying to prove their worth.

The two of them were trembling so much that their bodies had gone weak—even wetting themselves in fear!

Lin Tian’s face twisted in disgust.

“The conditions you’re offering are tempting, but unfortunately… I’m hungry right now.”

There was no way he would let two gods simply walk away after delivering themselves to his doorstep.

Devouring them, evolving, establishing his own Divine Pantheon, and bestowing Divine Cores upon others—that was what truly mattered.

Puchi!

Lin Tian drove his blade straight into Ares’ chest, sending blood and torn flesh flying!

Ares stood frozen in place, his expression blank. “How… how could this happen…”

Then, his consciousness slowly faded away.

[Ding! Ragnarok activated. Gained: Health +1900, Defense +1000, Strength +410.]
[Randomly acquired opponent’s ability: War Cry.]

Lin Tian examined the newly acquired skill.

[War Cry – Mythic-Class: Emits a powerful, large-scale sonic attack. Can be used up to three times in succession and removes all control effects.]

“Oh? Not bad. A perfect replacement for that outdated Ruinous Howl.”

He smirked.

Then, he activated Devour.

Hermes’ eyes widened, his entire body convulsing in terror!

He watched as Ares was disassembled and consumed before his very eyes.

And the worst part? He knew—he knew—he was next.

There would be no resurrection this time.

Fear overwhelmed him, and he started wailing like a desperate child, crying out to the heavens.

Lin Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, frowning slightly.

“That Goddess of Misfortune is truly damned… Ever since she marked me, I haven’t been able to Devour a single innate ability.”

It was unfortunate.

He hadn’t managed to obtain Ares’ innate power—the ability to control weight.

With it, anything within a 500-ton range could be rendered as light as a feather in his grasp.

“D-Don’t come any closer… Don’t come any closer…”

Hermes scrambled backward on the ground, clawing at the dirt with both hands.

Lin Tian’s terrifying gaze was locked onto him.

With Traveler’s Boots out of commission for the moment, there was only one option left—

Traveler’s Domain.

“Buzz—!”

Within a 1000-meter radius, he could freely manipulate the trajectory of anyone’s movements.

If his enemy advanced 999 meters, he could instantly send them back to their starting point.

Loael’s brows furrowed. “Not good. The sealing barrier’s time is up!”

“No worries.”

Lin Tian, staring at Hermes, who had crawled nearly 1000 meters away, simply raised the Ten Thousand-Wheel Blade and hurled it forward!

It struck him dead center, nailing him into the ground!

The spinning wheels continued grinding his flesh, tearing through his body!

One of Ganggu Armor’s enchantments was ‘Extreme Precision.’

A 1000-meter throw? Guaranteed to hit.

After all, this armor was the pinnacle masterpiece of the Dwarven race.

Lin Tian strode forward without a care.

As expected, just as he was about to reach Hermes, he was forcibly teleported back to his starting position.

But after two or three repetitions, Hermes couldn’t hold out any longer.

His vision blurred.

He had lost too much blood.

This time—

Lin Tian stood over him, towering in absolute dominance, his expression full of disappointment.

“What god? What Prime God? You’re nothing.”

These so-called gods…

They were nothing like what he had imagined.

If he had to put it into words—

They were merely a powerful faction in this world.

Unfortunately, due to the backwardness of this era, the feudal traditions, these beings had been worshipped as gods.

“Crack—!”

A sickening sound echoed as an arm was torn from its socket.

Lin Tian began his so-called ‘Devour.’

Hermes, who had nearly lost consciousness, was jolted awake by the sheer agony.

“AAAAHHHH!!”

Gradually, the screams came to an end.

[Ding! Ragnarok activated. Gained: Health +999, Defense +390, Strength +200.]
[Acquired random ability: Traveler’s Memory.]
[Traveler’s Memory – Mythic-Class: Can be applied to boots, allowing instant teleportation to any previously visited location. Each teleport destroys the boots.]

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow.

Ragnarok had conveniently granted him his opponent’s innate ability.

Not bad.

At first glance, it seemed like just an enchantment, but its effect was immense.

Teleporting to any previously visited location, at will.

“…Wait.”

Did that mean—

Could he return to his previous world?!

Lin Tian’s pupils contracted sharply.

He didn’t even register the next system notification—

[Ding! Congratulations! You have completed your Divine Ascension! Evolution commencing!]
[All attributes doubled!]
[Acquired the title: Goblin God. Reward: Life Points ×1000!]
[Acquired Divine Core: Infinite-Class Divine Core!]
[System upgrade complete! You may now choose from three new system options!]

1️. Mission System – Generates missions based on current events and story progression. Different choices lead to different rewards.
2️. Many Offspring, Many Blessings System – The more descendants you produce, the greater your rewards.
3️. Daily Sign-In System – Receive a random reward every day.

…

Shua!

Lin Tian stood frozen in place as golden, black, and multicolored magical formations enveloped him.

Blinding radiance erupted skyward, shaking the entire world!

Loael and the One-Eyed Owl stood amidst the raging winds, their hair and clothes whipping violently in the storm of power—

Both were completely stunned.

This level of pressure—there was no way an ordinary god could exude such dominance!

Satan stood frozen in shock. “Impossible… A goblin… A goblin has become a god?! This isn’t right! A higher-dimensional existence… did they grant a goblin such authority?!”

The surrounding magical beasts, demi-humans, and humans—

All of them dropped to their knees on the spot!

Welcoming the birth of a new god!

However—

They soon realized that Lin Tian was still standing there, unmoving.

“Returning… to my original world…!”

Lin Tian muttered, his voice trembling in disbelief.

He couldn’t even begin to imagine what it would be like to return.

Domination. Plundering. Spreading endless calamity and despair.

Thump!

His heart suddenly clenched, an inexplicable unease creeping in.

He never thought his mindset had truly become monstrous.

But—so what?

A wicked grin spread across Lin Tian’s lips.

According to everything he knew, there were multiple planes of existence.

If he didn’t dominate his original world, who’s to say that one day, another world’s creatures wouldn’t invade and destroy it instead?

Just then—

Lin Tian snapped out of his thoughts, finally noticing the barrage of system notifications and the bizarre transformations happening to his body.

Something strange was coursing through him—

A sensation so rock-solid it made him feel invincible!

But none of that mattered.

“A new system?!”

Lin Tian hurriedly checked his options.

“Mission System…?”

“This was already included in the Life Simulation System… Not good. It might cloud my judgment with rewards and make me choose poorly…”

For him, absolute self-control and personal sovereignty were the most important things.

Mission systems tended to offer greater rewards for higher-risk choices, pushing people into a gambling mentality.

That was a surefire way to fall into ruin.

“Many Offspring, Many Blessings System?”

Lin Tian began reading the details carefully.

[The more offspring you produce, the greater the unlocked rewards.
10 offspring → Obtain a random World-Class Magical Device.
100 offspring → Obtain a random Mythic-Class Ability ×1.
1,000 offspring → Obtain a random God-Slaying Weapon ×1…]

Seeing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but smirk wickedly.

He had a Zerg Queen—

Wouldn’t she be able to mass-produce tens of millions of offspring with ease?!

He could instantly unlock all the rewards!

Absolutely perfect!

But then, at the bottom of the details, he noticed a fine print note:

[Note: Only the first 10 offspring from each individual count toward rewards.]

In other words—

Even if his Zerg Queen laid a billion goblins, only 10 of them would count.

“The hell? Do you think I’m a donkey? No—do you think I’m some kind of massive breeding machine?!” Lin Tian cursed aloud.

The reward list even demanded 100,000, a million, even 10 million offspring!

1 million offspring, divided by 10 per individual…

That meant he’d need to find 100,000 women to have children with.

Even if each pregnancy produced triplets, that still meant—

3.3 million times.

Just to unlock the 10 million offspring reward.

And beyond that, there were even 50 million, 100 million offspring rewards!

Even if he became a breeding machine himself, it was physically impossible.

“No way. The limitations on this system are way too ridiculous. I’d be spending all my time having children. If I did that, I wouldn’t be a goblin anymore—I’d be a damn appendage growing on top of a goblin!”

Lin Tian firmly rejected it.

Lastly, he looked at the Daily Sign-In System.

It was plain and ordinary—nothing special, nothing terrible.

Lin Tian sighed in frustration.

“System, is there really no other system for me to choose? And if I pick a new system, will you be replaced?”

[Ding! Rest assured, Host. This reward is part of your storyline progression. I will not be replaced.]

The system’s mechanical voice echoed.

Lin Tian let out a slight breath of relief.

That made things a bit more manageable.

He asked, “Then… can I refresh the options to see if there are better ones?”

[Ding! Apologies, Host. This is a fixed storyline choice. It cannot be refreshed or changed. However, you may choose not to accept a new system.]

The system’s tone was absolute.

Lin Tian sighed.

“Fine, then.”

No matter how he looked at it, the Mission System was the only viable option.

As long as he kept absolute composure, he wouldn’t be swayed by tempting rewards.

Just then, the system spoke again—

[Host, the system you have chosen, like the current one, can evolve and upgrade. You will not be limited by its current capabilities.]

“Oh?”

Lin Tian’s expression brightened instantly.

With an innocent, harmless look, he grinned slyly and asked—

“Well, my dear system… could you give me a little hint about what the upgraded versions of these three systems can do?”
