The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 584: Championʼs Den

After traveling for several weeks, Souta, Alice, Eztein, and Eilish had finally seen the famous Championʼs Den. The huge and bustling city of heroes was before their eyes.

”Weʼre finally here.” Eztein sighed in relief while looking at the city before his eyes.

”It took us a lot of time but seeing this city personally is different than hearing it from Soutaʼs story.” Eilish smiled faintly.

Souta simply smiled at her words. He took a step forward and said, ”Letʼs go.”

Alice followed him with a serious expression. She was worried that the gods would discover her identity. Although Souta assured her before, she still couldnʼt help but become nervous when entering this city.

The Championʼs Den.

It was a city outside of Hairin so itʼs natural that it took them several weeks. This city was in the center of different territories of the gods from Mount Olympus. If Mount Olympus was for gods, then the Championʼs Den was for heroes.

This place had many opportunities and countless people dreamed of coming to this city.

This city was twenty times larger than any cities that theyʼve seen before. The population of this city surpassed forty million people. The people that were coming in and out of the city were countless.

It was the most bustling city in the entire territory of Mount Olympus.

Soutaʼs group entered the city and they began to look around like curious cats. Even Souta was curious at the surroundings even though he had been in this place before in the game.

Well, when he went to this place in the game, the tension was already high because of Gluttonyʼs rampage.

But at this moment, despite the threat of the demons, the people were still lively. They still trusted the heroes, champions, and warriors of the gods. They didnʼt fear those demons.

Stalls were lining up as the group passed through the huge gate.

Elves, dwarves, humans, beastmen, and other rare races could be seen walking around and chatting to each other. Some of them were wearing armor and robes emitting a powerful energy that they couldnʼt hide.

”This city can actually make me tremble,” Eilish said to Souta in a low voice. Although there were people with low power levels, there were people with a powerful aura in their surroundings.

Eilish, who was observing the power level of the folks, could hardly maintain her balance.

”Donʼt pry them or else it would only bring you trouble,” Souta warned her.

She didnʼt have [Galaxy Eyes] like him so she was using her senses to detect the power level of the people around her but some of the high-level people noticed what she was doing so they blocked her senses.

”If you provoke people with high status in this place, then no one could save you with your current status nor your strength.”

Even Souta wouldnʼt be able to save her. Itʼs better to know that the One Shackle Realm expert was nothing in this city. She had to realize that there were countless people above her level.

There were God Realm experts in this city but they hardly make a move so most of the time, Demigods were the top powerhouse.

”I understand.” Eilish nodded solemnly.

”As long as you understand. But the people here didnʼt want trouble too. They donʼt want to create a scene.” Souta explained as he pointed at the group of armored people patrolling around.

”Guards?” Eztein tilted his head.

”Yes, the guards belong to Aresʼ warriors, the God of War. They are the ones that are maintaining the peace of the city and the people that didnʼt follow the rules would be imprisoned.”

The Aresʼ warriors were one of the strongest legions in the Championʼs Den. They were fair and would only follow the rules. So even Demigods would think twice before creating a scene in this city.

The Aresʼ warriors only followed the command of their god, Ares.

Thatʼs the reason why ordinary people werenʼt afraid of living in this place despite the countless experts around them. They were protected by the law.

As long as they were in this city, the Aresʼ warriors would protect the peace and innocent.

The reason why Aresʼ warriors were the ones managing the peace of the city was that Zeus asked Ares to handle it. Zeus was the King of Gods on Mount Olympus so naturally, Ares would follow Zeusʼ command.

Ordinary people didnʼt know about it but Souta who learned it from the game was different. He knew a lot of things in Championʼs Den like the back of his hand.

He also received his fame back there in this place. Becoming one of the greatest heroes of Athena. Her most favored child was him.

Ah, this place really brings back memories...

Souta looked at the blue sky before he closed his eyes. He inhaled the fresh air as if reminiscing the things that occurred here in the game.

ʼItʼs peaceful.ʼ

”Are we going to join a godʼs legion?” Eztein suddenly asked.

”Well, letʼs visit the legions first before we decide,” Souta said to him.

”Oh, Iʼm quite interested in that.” Eilish raised her eyebrows at his words.

Alice just silently listened to their conversation.

The group went to find a place where they could stay for a night first. After that, they toured around the city looking for the godʼs legions.

The first legion that theyʼve found was Apollo. The legion in Championʼs Den wasnʼt the main headquarters of Apolloʼs legion. The headquarters in the Championʼs Den was like a secondary base for requirements.

At the very least, the headquarters of the godʼs legion in this city was huge. It contained tens of thousands of people that participate in all sorts of activities around the city.

Even some of the main champions of the gods were living in this place.

After they visited Apolloʼs legion, they went to the other legions.

It was already night when theyʼd finished visiting more than forty legions in the city.

In the central plaza, Souta and the other three were standing in front of a thirty-meter tall monument. They were looking at the region ranking written on the stone monument.

1. Children of Zeus

2. Heraʼs Warriors

3. Aresʼ Warriors

4. Hellʼs Paradise

5. Children of the Sea

6. Athenʼs Champion

7. Hunterʼs Bowl

8. Grains of Land

9. Forge the Sky

10. Maidenʼs Heart

Souta looked at the ten top list and sighed. The top ten legions were still the same and nothing had changed. Well, it will change in the future when the chaos spread.

”Children of Zeus. Zeus is the King of Gods, right?” Eztein asked in a low voice.

”Yes, he is the ruler of Mount Olympus. He is one of the strongest gods out there.” Souta answered. He then began to explain the other legions so that they could understand it better.

Children of Zeus, Heraʼs Warriors, Aresʼ Warriors, and Athenʼs Champion had their godʼs name in their legion. So people could easily guess the name of the gods that they serve.

As for Hellʼs Paradise, they served Hades, the God of the Underworld. Poseidon, God of Sea, was the god of the Children of the Sea legion. Hunterʼs Bowl was Artemis while Grains of Land was Demeter. Forge the Sky was Hephaestus and lastly the Maidenʼs Heart, the Top Ten, was Aphrodite.

He also told them some of the powerhouses in each legion.

Eztein and Eilish were shocked after listening to his words. Souta didnʼt exaggerate the power of the legion as he simply told them the truth but it seems that this was still beyond their imagination.

He could understand as they came from the sub-world where the strongest individual was only at SS-rank. The difference was huge and even the weakest legion below the top forty still had Demigods in their ranks so how could any of the top organizations in their home planet could rival it.

”Letʼs go back for now,” Souta said to them. They could see that they werenʼt physically tired but mentally.

The city widened their view. Itʼs better as they could develop strong mentally as they know that thereʼs someone higher above them.

Souta then turned his attention to Alice. ”Are you feeling well?” He asked.

He noticed that she was silent ever since they entered this city. She hasnʼt said a single word to him nor has she paid attention to the beautiful scenery around.

Alice shook her head in response before she said, ”Itʼs nothing. Iʼm still feeling nervous in this city. I donʼt know if someone is going to discover my identity.”

”Donʼt think about it. Youʼre only making yourself suspicious if you are acting that way. Just try to relax just like the people around us. That way, you will blend easily in the surrounding.” Souta said to her.

”I understand.” Alice took a deep breath.

”Calm yourself. Donʼt think about your identity for now. Just focus on whatʼs before your eyes. Tomorrow, weʼll enter a legion so prepare yourself.”
