From Goblin to Goblin God - Chapter 419

Chapter 419: The Pot of Greed’s Second Stage Form, Two People Wanting to Show Off

TL: Sungmin

As everyone changed their tactics, the Pot of Greed clearly began to get anxious.

Even if it brought out more tentacles, it was useless.

Because if Alice and the others could not win, they would choose to flee.

Although its tentacles were fast, if they focused entirely on fleeing, the tentacles, with a maximum length of three thousand meters, would be unable to catch up.

The One-Eyed Owl could not help but praise at this moment, “Hey you! It seems the Goddess of War and Wisdom title isn’t for nothing!”

“Indeed, the situation has now turned. Who wins and who loses is not certain! Haha!” Loael also sighed.

Before, they had all looked down on Athena.

Now, they strongly agreed with her decision.

Hearing this, Athena could not help but show a smug smile. “I’m not called ‘hey you’. My name is Athena, Pallas Athena! Goddess of War, Goddess of Wisdom, and also Virgin Goddess!”

At this moment, she finally felt like she had stood up, gained recognition, and was about to begin a brand new legendary life!

Anyway, it was better than following Zeus and being scolded every day.

“Pfft, Virgin Goddess? You’re over ten thousand years old, right? And you’re still a virgin? My heavens!” the One-Eyed Owl could not help but tease and laugh.

This was the difference between how one saw oneself and how others saw one.

Athena had thought she had just shown off.

Unexpectedly, what others cared about was this!

Instantly, a girlish blush of shame appeared on her face. “Don’t go too far! What does it have to do with you whether I am or not? This proves I am holy and pure! Transcending the mundane and the present world! A truly untainted goddess!”

“Tch…” The One-Eyed Owl just rolled her eyes.

Virgin or not, she definitely was not interested.

On the contrary, Grugia, Osius, and the others’ eyes lit up.

Hearing those few words made their blood boil.

Grugia rubbed his hands. “Brother Tian doesn’t seem interested in her. Is my spring coming? I will definitely go all out to conquer her!”

“Jie jie jie, I won’t be merciful either. Such a good thing… just thinking about it makes me want to take off!” Osius chimed in.

At this moment, the Pot of Greed’s expression was twisted and ferocious. “Damn it, if this continues to drag on, my tentacles will suffer heavy losses. Looks like it’s time to end the battle!”

“Oh? My lord, are you going to activate your second form?” Zeus asked softly upon hearing this.

He had witnessed the second form ten thousand years ago.

That form had directly crushed and killed the Sun Hall God-King, Phoenix.

At that time, Phoenix was the only Top-Tier God King.

The Pot of Greed did not answer, but frantically retracted all its tentacles.

Its body began to undergo a flesh mutation!

The tentacles began to grow palms and fingers until they completely resembled arms.

“What’s going on? Did that guy give up?” the One-Eyed Owl said in surprise.

Suddenly, all the tentacles disappeared.

Only the massive ewer-head remained in the distant sky.

Everyone stared for a moment before hurriedly averting their gaze. Due to the Abomination’s passive effect, looking any longer would cause their sanity to drop.

Of course, the tentacles were fine; they could look as long as they wanted.

Athena frowned, saying warily, “Be careful, that guy is about to activate his second form!”

At the same time, Loael also prepared herself.

She still remembered the strength of the second form vividly!

She would never forget the power that killed Phoenix.

The Pot of Greed’s eyes were cold as he cackled, “Jie jie jie, prepare to die!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The next second!

All the retracted tentacles began to gush out frantically!

But strangely, it wasn’t tentacles that gushed out, but human hands!

They even had joints!

Covered in foul-smelling slime, they swayed in the air, incomparably unsettling!

Most importantly.

At the end of these thousands of arms, they held various weapons and magical devices!

The weakest were Sun-Class, and the strongest even surpassed God-Slaying-Grade!

These were all collected by the Pot of Greed over tens of thousands of years, including native weapons from the Abomination World and weapons from other planes.

“What the hell is this!” the One-Eyed Owl said with a disgusted expression, feeling extremely nauseous!

It was extremely uncomfortable, both psychologically and physiologically.

Alice warily watched the strange magical devices. “Everyone, be careful. This should be the so-called second form. Pay attention to that magical device that surpasses God-Slaying-Grade!”

Among the densely packed arms, at the very top, there was a strange statue carried by ten arms.

It bore some resemblance to the Easter Island giant statues.

Unseen runes were carved on it, and it pulsed with a faint light in a regular pattern.

This was the piece of equipment that surpassed God-Slaying-Grade.

It was a magical device left behind after the Black Goat Mother Goddess killed a high-plane powerhouse, which was then snatched by the Pot of Greed.

Thus, he was able to advance to become the second strongest Evil God.

This statue was named the ‘Petrification Totem’.

Actually, the strongest part was the pair of pale eyes on the statue. Anyone illuminated by them at close range would be briefly petrified.

The petrification depended on strength; particularly strong individuals would be petrified for at most a few seconds, weaker ones for a few hours or days.

Those who were too weak would probably be petrified forever.

This was far stronger than the Olympian low-tier god ‘Medusa’.

Medusa’s eyes required close-range eye contact for one second.

At most, it could only petrify someone who was caught unaware.

This Eye of Petrification from a higher plane was different; it was area-of-effect and did not require eye contact.

Loael at this moment also instructed everyone, “Just as discussed before, be careful of the Petrification Totem’s eyes!”

By injecting mana from a distance of about five meters, the user could activate the Eye of Petrification, petrifying everything within its range.

It was so powerful that even God Kings would be petrified for several days.

It meant that once illuminated, death was certain!

So it was called a weapon that surpassed God-Slaying-Grade; this was no longer just capable of killing gods, but killing them casually!

Besides this, there were also many other powerful weapons.

The Dragon Slayer Sword, forged by the strongest craftsman in the Abomination World, contained the soul of an Abomination Calamity Source Dragon.

Each normal attack had a range of one thousand meters.

It was imbued with Calamity Source Black Flame. If burned, mana would be continuously absorbed, and unless one quickly exhausted their mana, the flame would not be extinguished.

There was also the Sun Longbow, which could shoot attacks with a super large explosion range without needing arrows.

This was equivalent to casting an Explosion Magic once.

But it did not consume mana, and its attack speed could reach ten arrows per second.

Also very formidable.

This was also one of Phoenix’s former weapons.

There were also other weapons like ray weapons and firearms.

In an instant!

The entire area outside the bunker turned into a battlefield saturated with firepower!

The intensity was comparable to the bunker defense battle back then!

But this entire onslaught was caused by the Pot of Greed alone; the pressure was suffocating.

The barrage of attacks was so overwhelming that everyone was suppressed into fleeing with their heads in their hands.

The firepower was simply too strong!

The light from the explosions was even more dazzling and blinding.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

In the midst of the explosions, Alice and the others could not even see each other’s positions.

Even if they were only ten meters apart, it felt as if they were in two different worlds.

Suddenly, a sharp blade wreathed in black flame slashed towards Alice!

As a Half-Weapon Race, she had already awakened some abilities unique to the Weapon Race, abilities that did not require learning.

‘Attack Premonition’!

As long as it was a weapon’s attack, she could perceive it to a certain extent.

Alice immediately leaped up like a swallow, dodging that terrifying attack.

She looked for a gap, preparing to sever the Pot of Greed’s arm and then forcibly retract the weapon into her spatial ring.

In a sense, it was disarming.

Of course, these spatial rings were all reinforced; otherwise, when forcibly storing someone else’s weapon, the weapon imprint would instantly destroy the ring.

Just as Alice thought she had succeeded, an intense danger rapidly approached through the dazzling fire of battle!

Petrification Totem!

The arm holding the Dragon Slayer Sword had exposed a flaw, precisely to lure Alice to attack and leave her open for the Petrification Totem.

The Pot of Greed was currently observing Alice’s movements intently through the eyes on its arms.

He could not help but smile triumphantly. “The most troublesome one, I will fuse you into the strongest tentacle!”

In the first stage, even with all his strength, he had been unable to kill or even injure Alice while she was isolated.

This made the Pot of Greed wary of Alice.

So, he planned to eliminate her first.

“Really, remember to be more careful next time! In a battle of this level, no one would be foolish enough to expose a flaw!” the Darkspawn said impatiently.

He was still reluctant for Alice to die just like that.

Otherwise, he himself would also lose his value and be killed by Lin Tian.

Swish!

Instantly, the Darkspawn, like Venom, quickly enveloped Alice entirely.

At that moment, a small tuft of hair was not covered in time and was hit by the light of the Eye of Petrification.

And that small tuft of hair cracked and fell off like stone.

As for the Darkspawn, it was also petrified, but since he had left a segment of his body in the sword blade, he could simply abandon the petrified part.

He could then reabsorb flesh and blood to recover.

Alice, with a slight effort, broke the petrified Darkspawn off her body.

Then, taking advantage of the Eye of Petrification’s temporary inability to activate a second time, she prepared to snatch it directly!

After his attack missed, the Pot of Greed was only briefly angry before devising a new plan: he just needed to lure Alice into the encirclement of arms, where killing her would be much easier.

He quickly began to retract the arms holding the Eye of Petrification.

Alice, after chasing for a few steps, stopped. Having learned her lesson from before, she was naturally more careful.

If she chased in, death was certain!

Merely being surrounded by the arms was already almost impossible to handle, especially since they were wielding numerous weapons.

She would definitely be blasted to smithereens.

Seeing that Alice did not fall for the bait, the Pot of Greed wasn’t concerned, saying disappointedly, “Tch, then I’ll just play with you all a bit longer…”

With so many weapons, it was completely sufficient to suppress and kill everyone with firepower.

Anyway, he had an army of hundreds of millions of Abominations in his body, and he could use their flesh and blood to replenish mana at any time.

This was why he was the second strongest Evil God in the Abomination World!

The Headhunter, the Taboo Death God, the Smiling Angel.

None of them were as versatile as him.

Regardless of whether the opponent had many or few people, he could suppress them with absolute strength.

This was a truly unsolvable ability, a powerful and heaven-defying ability.

Unless you had even greater power, death was certain; there was no other way.

Sure enough, everyone soon began to find it unbearable.

They could only resort to hit-and-run tactics again.

“Everyone, follow my command! Although we are scattered and cannot see each other, just flee forward!” Athena’s voice rang out again.

She continued, “This situation is more favorable for us! Everyone scatter and flee. His tentacles have a maximum range of three thousand meters; he can’t possibly chase all of us at the same time!”

Hearing her voice, everyone immediately complied!

They even felt it made a lot of sense and could catch their breath.

But the Pot of Greed was no fool. He sneered, “Jie jie jie, you want to play this game with me again? Smart people don’t fall for the same trick twice!!!”

Saying this, he locked his evil gaze on the fleeing Grugia and Osius!

They were running the slowest.

The second-stage Pot of Greed had accelerating magical devices.

He could completely catch up.

Once he caught up, he was confident that the others would come to help.

Without the others to help attract firepower and disperse the attacks, Grugia and Osius’s deaths were certain.

“Damn it!” Osius, who was fleeing, felt his heart tremble, and the hair on his back stood on end!

The fear of death was rapidly approaching!

Pairs of huge arms, like hungry wolves pouncing on prey, converged on him.

Grugia prepared to directly transform into a Titan Giant for a desperate struggle.

Osius hurriedly said, “Don’t! That would make you a living target; you’ll be instantly smashed into mincemeat!”

Although the five-thousand-meter physique had an overwhelming advantage before, now, it was a convenient way to heaven.

“At least our deaths will serve as a warning to the others not to flee alone like this anymore!” Osius gritted his teeth, his eyes shining with firm determination!

Because in this situation, if everyone actively rushed in to rescue, the risk of death was far too high.

Especially that person, who would definitely rush in recklessly.

That was the One-Eyed Owl.

Previously, in the Dragon Slaying Guild town, she had risked everything for everyone and was almost beaten to death.

They did not want to see the One-Eyed Owl bear such a great risk again because of this.

Grugia’s expression paused slightly, then he smiled with relief. “You brat, you really managed to show off this time! Alright, then I’ll show off with you!”

One was already a madman, the other almost a dead man.

Doing such a thing was all too normal.

The One-Eyed Owl, who had already fled to a safe area in the distance, clenched her fists and immediately accumulated Level-3 Compression!

Still not enough!

Even after reaching Level-3 Compression, she was still forcibly adding pressure with her own strength!

Her armor continuously emitted scorching steam!

It produced a mechanical buzzing sound of collision and distortion!

“You two, don’t die so quickly!”

“Zzzzzzt!!!”

Boom!!!

Instantly!

The One-Eyed Owl shot out, producing a sonic boom!

The space behind her vibrated violently, like water ripples!

The clouds within a hundred-mile radius were directly dispersed!

At this moment, the One-Eyed Owl’s speed even astonished Zeus! This was the fastest speed he had ever seen, apart from his own!

“This madwoman! Still holding that God-Slaying-Grade axe, like a meat grinder!” Zeus could not help but say in shock, his eyes wide.

Because wherever the One-Eyed Owl passed, space itself seemed about to be torn apart!

The moment she touched those arms of the Pot of Greed, blood splattered!

They were instantly severed!

And because her speed was too fast, the Pot of Greed could not even retract its tentacles!

Instantly, hundreds of arms were severed alive!

That wasn’t important; what mattered was that the weapons had fallen!

Everyone rushed over and immediately picked them all up.

“Big Sis! Sob sob sob! I really thought I was going to die!”

“Phew… I was saved by you again. By the way, are you okay!?” Osius and Grugia said, sighing in relief.

Just now, those hands had surrounded them, and the weapon attacks had already begun to charge.

There was simply no way to avoid it.

The One-Eyed Owl panted heavily, forcing herself to remain calm. “It’s nothing. You two idiots, if someone’s going to show off, it has to be me first, understand!”

However, under the armor, that level of pressure caused blood to flow from her seven orifices and shattered all of her bones.

Fortunately, the armor came with significant pain immunity and injury recovery.

Otherwise, she would have fainted long ago.
