Chapter 25 : White God
"Why are there elves here?"
"Isn't the Elven Kingdom located in the east?"
"The Elven Kingdom is a closed country, according to the ancient goblin knowledge."
"Should we meet them?"
"Should we temporarily halt the meeting?"
Various questions continued to be raised by the goblin leaders due to the unexpected visit of the elf race during their important meeting. All eyes turned to Flurx, who signaled that the goblin leaders needed advice.
"In my opinion, we should accept the elves and instruct them to wait, and prepare a tent for them to stay in."
The goblin leaders in the midst of the meeting were still surprised by the arrival of the two elves, until an explosion was heard, prompting them all to leave the meeting room.
As leaders, it was their duty to lead their troops in the event of a battle. However, they were also eager to avoid a battle as they were in a crisis and an unstable situation.
"What was that explosion?"
"We need to check it quickly before the situation worsens!"
As they were about to run towards the main gate, they were suddenly transported to a very mysterious area. The area was quite dark, and it was a circular landmass.
There was a terrifying god's emblem in the middle of the landmass.
On the edge, there was a fence serving as a barrier. This circular landmass had a diameter of 1 kilometer. If someone crossed the boundary fence of this land, they would fall into a bottomless abyss and be trapped forever.
Looking around, there was only darkness. However, the circular landmass seemed to have a light embedded beneath it. For a simpler analogy, this circular landmass resembled a ring for combat.
The six goblin leaders, Elder Flurx, and three Goblin Berserkers were now facing an elf who had transformed into a rather terrifying form. All goblins remained silent, unable to utter a word.
The Goblin Berserkers, who had previously taken a hostile stance, also looked deeply regretful for choosing the wrong opponent. They all knew that the ability to move opponents to a specific area was a skill only found in myths and children's stories.
They never expected this to happen to them. All the Goblin Leaders and Berserkers were quite frightened for their lives, as they could easily be killed. If they were all killed, no one would know the fate of the other goblins.
There was a possibility that other races might attack and seize the goblins' food supply.
As everyone was scared and pondering what to do, a very cold and emotionless voice sounded.
"How about it? Do you now believe that I am a messenger of the God?"
The Goblin Leaders and Berserkers remained silent, unable to speak or move freely, only nodding as if their bodies were chained by an evil being.
However, some of them believed that the elf who had transformed before them was a demon and not a messenger of the god. A different kind of demon that did not come from the Demon Lord in the southwest of the continent.
"According to the law of karma, an eye for an eye, blood for blood,"
"If you persist in a hostile stance, we will also take a hostile stance,"
"This is your last chance to answer, do you believe?"
"I want to speak with a representative from among you; give me one envoy."
Elder Flurx immediately stepped forward after Saphielle requested to send an envoy. He walked with a slight stoop and appeared very old, using a staff.
Although his appearance seemed weak, his magical power was the strongest among all the goblins, so he was highly respected by the goblins. There were six goblin leaders at the moment, and it would be unfair for only one or two people to act as envoys for the goblins.
After walking about 4 meters away from Saphielle, Flurx bowed. He was well aware that Saphielle possessed tremendous magical power, far beyond theirs. It was possible that she was even more powerful than the humans who had defeated the Goblin Lord. Seeing the elf's great strength, there was no reason to dispute her as a messenger of the God.
"I am Flurx, a goblin hermit, and I will represent the goblin leaders in this discussion."
The aura of power emanating from Saphielle was very intense, especially in this area, which was her private domain. If Saphielle were to fight in this domain, she would receive a 150% damage and defense buff. This was a significant buff, and her passive karma ability would increase to 30%.
In other words, Saphielle had a 30% chance to block and reflect attacks from enemies with significantly higher critical damage.
"Allow me to introduce myself once again, I am Saphielle, one of the messengers of the White God,"
"We apologize for our oversight, Saphielle-sama,"
Immediately, Elder Flurx lowered his head almost to the point of prostration, shocking the Goblin Berserkers and Goblin leaders. They never expected someone as powerful as Elder Flurx to bow and apologize.
"It's alright; after all, I'm here only to carry out the orders of the God to save you from this crisis,"
"If you can accept us now, I will revert this area to its original state,"
"Very well, I believe you, messenger of the White God,"
Of course, the goblins were greatly surprised to hear the words 'White God.' So far, they had believed that the deity they worshipped was a dark green god, resembling the physical characteristics of goblins in general. They didn't know what the true form of their god was, but they were very sure that the dark green god was their deity.
The White God was a different deity, and no one recognized it.
Had they been worshipping the wrong god all along?
Or was the White God another deity?
Saphielle could see the doubt in the minds of the Goblin leaders, Goblin Berserkers, and even Flurx. Within herself, she was amazed and impressed because all of this had been predicted beforehand.
(It's truly remarkable; even though I've demonstrated my strength, they still have doubts.)
(The predictions from Aether-sama and Exypno-sama are incredibly accurate.)
Previously, Aether had mentioned that he had formulated a plan to conquer the goblin race with Exypno, so Saphielle was aware of Exypno's existence.
(It won't be long before this reaches the climax.)
(The opening stage, according to the plan, is complete.)
(AFTER THE CLIMAX, I'M SURE THEY WILL BEG FOR MERCY FROM ALICE-SAMA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.)
"Very well, Flurx, I understand your hesitation."
As Flurx was about to speak to counter Saphielle, she did not give him a chance to speak.
"It's alright; we're only here to help you. I hope you'll accept us with a smile,"
"We just want to understand your issues, the crisis situation the goblins are facing, and help resolve them,"
"Yes, even though we're not of the goblin race, we are still messengers of the White God, and assisting those in need is our duty."
After that, Saphielle and Flurx had a brief conversation. Following their discussion, Saphielle deactivated her [Twin Ultimate Skill: Karma Domain & Karma Form], and they all returned to their original location, the main gate leading to the goblin settlement.
The goblins also felt guilty and decided to welcome Aether and Saphielle warmly. The goblin leaders also decided to hold a celebration party that night, even though it would consume a significant amount of their food and drink supplies.
All of this was done as a form of apology to Aether and Saphielle. Apologies were crucial, as the two of them had the power to wipe out the goblin race at any time.
Elder Flurx was well aware of Saphielle's immense power, and their levels were vastly different.
"I know both elves are very strong,"
"Nevertheless, she is a messenger of a different God!"
"What if we use the Goblin relic to kill them?"
"Oh, that item?"
"That item should still be kept very secret, and I know its location,"
"However, this is for the sake of the goblin race,"
"They can't be defeated directly,"
"Our power is vastly different!"
"The Goblin relic left by the Goblin Lord is the only way to drive them away,"
"If the goblins follow the misguided teachings of those elves, I'm sure the Goblin Lord would be disappointed,"
"Do you know the prophecy left by the Goblin Lord?"
"There should be a God's messenger coming after a great disaster,"
"Yes, it should be the high-level goblins, not elves!"
"I agree,"
"We'll buy time until our true God's messenger arrives,"
"At the very least, we must protect our race from the misguided teachings of those two elves,"
"If I'm not mistaken, the two elves will be in the main hall for the feast, right?"
"We can use one of the Goblin relics, the Goblin Lord's poison,"
"Yes, the leaders and the old hermit can no longer be relied upon to protect the goblin race,"
"I agree,"
"They're too afraid of the power of those two elves,"
"They should have higher intelligence,"
"Hahaha, foolish to face them head-on,"
"Even with our intelligence, we can make this plan work,"
"If we can't confront them directly, then the answer is to oppose them indirectly,"
"The leaders are too fearful,"
"We have to move,"
"The feast should begin in a few hours,"
"Remember, we move according to the time we set earlier!"
"Understood!"
That was a brief meeting of the goblin elites, including the two Goblin Berserkers and many other goblins.
