The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 561: Meeting IV

In the Heavenly Demon Palace...

A handsome man with long silver hair and a pair of black horns on the side of his head was sitting comfortably on the throne. There was a blue ember burning on the center of his forehead and his purple eyes were gleaming in the dark. His skin was pale and he was wearing an exquisite robe.

This man was the Great Demon Emperor Lucifer, one of the Three Great Demon Emperor of Demonʼs Land. He was the ruler of the Heavenly Demon Palace, a force that occupied a quarter of the continent.

”Really? The Ruler of Gluttony said that. Hmm... Thatʼs a bit troublesome. That man is one of the few gods that could rival me. I donʼt even know if I could win if he uses his Aspect of the Sin.” Lucifer muttered as he rested his chin on his palm. ”Well, donʼt worry about it. Just continue what you are doing in Godʼs Continent but take it slowly this time. You guys are no match for him and I donʼt have a time to handle a guy like him so wait for the major factions to move.”

”I understand Your Majesty.” A voice sounded.

”I just sensed my daughterʼs location and sheʼs not in Imperium. Gather some troops and bring back my daughter to me.”

Lucifer waved his hand and a faint smile formed on his face.

”Really, what a man, Esquin. He even had a time to warn me about some monster lords. Is he saying that one of those monster lords is stronger than me? I donʼt think so. Did he know how many monster lords that Iʼve killed so far? But since he warned me about those monster lords it seems that those three are exceptional.”

The Demonʼs Land had no monster lord anymore. Itʼs been thousand years since one was born. All the monster lords had been killed by the Great Demon Emperors and Demon Kings. Itʼs been a while since monsters dare to fight back against demons in this land.

”Your Majesty, about the Land of Giza... Should we continue our conquest?” The voice asked Lucifer in a polite tone.

”Yes, you should continue conquering the land but since my daughter isnʼt in Imperium, try to focus army now. Donʼt scatter them like before. The Great Barrier around the other four continents is opening soon so we need to have a foothold in every land. I wanted to fight for the throne and took the title Satan for myself.”

Lucifer slowly closed his eyes.

”Yes, Your Majesty. We will fulfill your command.”

The world was changing too fast and mortals and immortals needed to keep up with it or else they would perish. The Imperium was getting stronger every second. The mana density in the atmosphere was getting thick and some part of the land had already birthed to ancient mana fruits that could even give gods a boost in their prowess.

Some of the hidden gods and monster lords across the world were planning to appear soon. They could feel it. Their senses were telling them that this was a sign of omen. A world without the balance of administrators will experience chaos from countless beings that wanted to rule over it.

Yet, some of the people that knew the truth were preparing for the worse. The worse scenario that occurred twenty thousand years ago. The Great War which countless powerful beings had perished. The Dimensional Creature, Primordials, Elemental Beings, and Progenitors were gone.

The only creatures left were humans, demis, and regular monsters. How could these mere creatures handle the harsh calamity that was about to occur?

It was about to open and no one was prepared for what was about to come.

...

”So you want to control me?” Eilish asked Souta.

”No...” Souta pinched the bridge of his nose before he sigh. ”Iʼm grateful for your help. Without you, I wouldnʼt be able to win against Rowan but to bring you with me...”

”Iʼm like a bomb that could go against you anytime. If an Extinction Realm master suddenly goes against you then your forces would suffer severe casualties.” Eilish said to him.

”Yeah... I donʼt understand why you wanted to go to Imperium. This place is much safer.”

”It seems that you still donʼt have a little bit of trust in me. Also, this place is much safer? I donʼt think that this place is safe for me nor for that dwarf. The enemy recognized our face and I think that they will come to us sooner or later.” Eilish explained as she glanced at Gragas. Surely, this dwarf already guessed what will happen soon.

She continued, ”The two of us help you in solving your problem. So I think it would be best to help us move out of this planet as consideration for helping you. You already said this before that without us you wouldnʼt be able to solve this. Iʼm not asking for anything like wealth or something like that what I want is to move out of this place first. And itʼs within your capabilities.”

”Sigh... Really, I donʼt think I could say anything.” Souta pressed his temples and he glanced at Gragas and Eilish. ”Fine, but you have to follow my words in my ships. Before that, I have a proposal for you.”

”What is it?” Gragas asked.

”Hmm...” Eilish looked interested.

”I wanted to invite you, Gragas, to join my organization. I will provide you with everything that you need in forging weapons and armor. I will also form a team of blacksmiths with you at the center.” Souta explained to Gragas. ”Also, your dream is to create a soul weapon, right? I have a witch in my team so you can study here.”

Gragas stared at him for a moment before he said, ”Give me some time. Iʼm not sure how to react if you suddenly invite me to join your organization.”

”Fine...” Souta nodded.

At the very least, Gragas didnʼt reject his proposal immediately. Also, blacksmith was what he needed the most in his organization. He already has a potioneer so he didnʼt have a problem regarding potions.

Souta turned to Eilish. ”As for you, I will bring you to another planet so call your people here. Thatʼs the limit of what I can do.”

”Arenʼt you going to invite me to your organization just like that dwarf?” Eilish was a faint smile.

”Then, how about you join my group? Considering your strength, Iʼll give you a high position.”

”No, I refuse,” Eilish said immediately.

”See...” Souta opened his arms. ”A person like you wouldnʼt want to become a subordinate of a weaker person. I know it so I didnʼt bother asking about it. Thatʼs the same for me, I donʼt want to become a subordinate of someone weaker than me.”

”Arenʼt you too cruel to leave me on an unknown planet after you used my body?” Eilish made an expression like she was about to cry.

”That will not work on me.” Souta shook his head.

”Oh, I almost forgot that youʼre a monster. Talking to you feels like Iʼm talking to an actual human or demi. Youʼre completely different from those muscle-headed monsters.” Eilish placed her index finger on her lips.

”Anyway, Iʼm gonna drop you to any habitable planet that weʼve found on our way so prepare your baggage.” Souta sigh and he wondered since when did this woman become talkative.

Eztein looked at these two with a blank expression. ʼWhat should I do? Should I leave this room or not?ʼ He said inwardly. He had nothing to do so he could only watch from the sideline. Also, he hope that Gragas could join the organization.

He was unfamiliar with all the members of Soutaʼs organization except for Yenxa and Amanda. But those two wouldnʼt even talk to her so he could only place his hope on Gragas.

ʼYou can do it, Gragas. Iʼll place all my hope for you. Donʼt forget about me saving your life.ʼ

”I really wanted to go to Imperium. I will still try to go there even if you leave me on another planet,” Eilish said.

”Why do you even want to go?” Souta asked.

”Itʼs because of a promise...” Eilish said faintly.

Souta stared at her and from what he could see with his [Galaxy Eyes] she wasnʼt lying. This pair of eyes could see if someone was lying or not and Eilish was saying the truth. She wanted to go to Imperium because of a promise and she didnʼt have a plan to go against him.

”Letʼs talk about it later... We still have a lot of time and there are things I needed to do now.” Souta said to her as he waved his hand. He turned around and left the room saying, ”Donʼt worry, Iʼll thoroughly think about it.”

Eilish stared at Soutaʼs back. She clenched her fists tightly. No matter what, she had to go to Imperium.

”Hey, why do you even want to go to the Great World? The books describe Great World as an amazing place but judging from Soutaʼs place, the Great World isnʼt different from other worlds out there. Itʼs just that the beings there are several times stronger..” Gragas asked Eilish.
