Goblin Giant World Fragment – Border Island,
The tremendous pain, like tides in the ocean, drowned Darius Turtlefield, washing over him back and forth, pushing the limits of his willpower—
Upon capturing Darius Turtlefield, Lord Yan, having heard about the incident, gifted Logan a pseudo-world treasure. Precisely designed for torture, it possessed the power to plunge an entire world into profound suffering. Logan, after acquiring it, added the pain of obliterated races and planets from his conquered world fragments, making the agony even more intense. If more ‘pain’ were added in the future, there’s a chance that it will transform into a real-world treasure.
Thereby, the pain this treasure imparts is undeniably real—
The divine body of Darius Turtlefield had already crumbled till it was almost scrap, like a puddle of mud, with just a small stream of bubbles constantly emerging, indicating his survival.
“A deity doesn’t die that easily.”
The voice of Logan was indifferent, “If you don’t want to keep experiencing the pain, then don’t act dead.”
At Logan’s words and without him having to unveil the Pain Light to intimidate, the puddle of mud under his feet began struggling furiously, gradually revealing a human form, with stray eyes and a disfigured mouth, laboriously opening it to speak,
“Loga…noble Goblin Giant God, anything you want to know, I will tell without reservation.”
“Hmm.”
Logan finally nodded, opening his mouth to ask, “There aren’t many pure-blooded members of the Turtlefield Aristocratic Family, you had plenty of other choices for when changing races. So why choose me?”
This was what Logan had been concerned about—
Even though he knows that other than his system, he doesn’t really have anything worth plotting for, other people don’t know about his system either. Yet, he still got chosen and that has been worrying him. So, when Darius Turtlefield was brought in, this was the first question Logan asked.
And the reason he tortured Darius Turtlefield right off the bat, is because Logan didn’t want to see Darius Turtlefield trying to deceive him and in turn, confuse his judgment—
After harsh torture, the truth will be spoken, so why question before torture?
Upon experiencing the ultimate pain, Darius Turtlefield would naturally tell the truth. As Darius Turtlefield tasted all the pain, Logan could vaguely feel a “relief” building within himself
This isn’t about avenging the “Ancient Master” (Even though Logan was reincarnated after solving the enigma of his past life, there still exists an “Ancient Master”), and this relief isn’t due to the Ancient Master being avenged.
Rather, it’s the relief of solving a significant cause and effect.
Choosing the initial race and initial world was a cause and effect on par with ‘birth.’ And solving this level of cause and effect brings great ‘relief’ to Logan, allowing his essence to become ‘lighter.’ It would let him better stride into the void and control more significant power.
Just as Logan experienced this sense of lightness and relief, Darius Turtlefield had quickly confessed everything,
“I know what you’re thinking, great Goblin Giant God.”
“No one made me do this, everything was random… or you could say inevitable.”
“We belong to the same iteration, and there were one hundred and thirty-seven of us top scholars.”
“Among these one hundred and thirty-seven, ninety-three were born into the direct line of the aristocratic families of the throne. Thirty-two were from collateral branches of the dominator’s aristocratic families, eight were from the direct lineage of the dominator’s aristocratic families, three were from collateral branches of the Holy See’s family clan…”
“And the last one, is you.”
“Thus, I chose you.”
After listening to Darius Turtlefield’s words, Logan was stunned and relieved.
With a glimmer of hope, Darius Turtlefield gazed at Logan and said, “Great Goblin Giant God, I’ve told you everything you wanted to know.”
“So…”
There was an eager longing in Darius Turtlefield’s eyes, as he knew survival is no longer possible. But compared to the pain he experienced earlier, the great terror of death seemed insignificant, so he had only one thought—
“Can you grant me a swift death?”
“Heh.”
Logan sneered, pointing his finger lightly, “You have no qualifications to negotiate terms with me.”
“You will endure this pain, till death.”
“I’ll strive to embed this pain into your essence. Even after your death, when you enter the Returning Ruins, this pain will accompany you for an eternity!”
“Logan, you—”
As soon as Darius Turtlefield heard Logan’s words, his eyes turned crimson red. Just as he was about to say something, a wave of intense pain consumed him utterly.
“Kanna, give him the best treatment.”
Logan stepped out from the cage and instructed the World Housekeeper Kanna, “For a short period of time…”
“At least ten years, don’t let him die.”
The reason for sparing his life isn’t for future use, but purely because Logan is a deity who keeps his promises—
Having said that he would let him be with pain for an eternity, then it will be for an eternity!
“Oh, there’s this too.”
Logan looked at the log entries in front of him, which were almost bursting out, nodded slightly and, in the next moment, a flurry of logs popped out frantically—
