The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 579: Conversation

Torkez reported their losses to Souta. The casualties that they've suffered in the battle were high and their three Guardian Fortresses couldn't even move right now. It will take some time to repair it.

Souta could only accept it as he knew that they were nothing compared to the Council of High-Worlds. If the reinforcement arrive at that time, then they wouldn't be able to escape against an SSS-rank expert.

He realized that the moment he entered the Planet Orina, the council noticed his presence. The council didn't want any outsider on that planet as they didn't want to share all the resources that can be found on that huge planet. So just by being there, he already provokes them.

Well, it's worth becoming their enemy as he got a universal artifact that could greatly boost his dark attribute spell. His [Gravitational Ball] spell alone could restrain all the creatures below S-rank. He didn't even need to focus the power of this spell on a single position.

Before, he had to personally fight and kill all the A-rank that got in his way but now... He didn't need to do so. He could simply use his gravity and kill them using his [Doppelganger] which was equivalent to Early Stage S-rank if he activated the [Yin Yang Unification].

The artifacts that he got in Planet Orina could let him fight several Peak Stage S-rank at the same time and potentially defeat them.

Souta watched everyone become busy. Not everyone had a parasitic essence eater in their body so some of the people were injured. They needed treatment.

The most important thing was that they've arrived in Imperium.

"So where are we, right now?" Alice asked.

"God's Continent." Souta simply stated. He didn't even hesitate as he already the answer from the start that they were on God's Continent.

The Great Barrier wasn't fully opened. Souta could enter this land without being suppressed and out of the seven continents of the Great World Imperium, only God's Continent and Giza Continent were opened. The barrier in these two continents was long gone. Even the barrier in the Demon's Land hasn't fully opened.

Also, when he entered the atmosphere, he saw the land and he was familiar with it. Alice didn't know about it as she only know the Demon's Land but Souta was different. He knew the seven continents of Imperium in the game.

When the Great Barrier had disappeared, he traverses across the land to complete different quests.

"God's Continent? It seems that we couldn't return to Giza Continent easily." Alice muttered.

Souta glanced at her and said, "Yeah, so we'll stay here for a while. If we want to pass return to Giza Continent then we need to pass through the Great East Sea where countless sea monsters live. Those monsters are territorial and they would attack us the moment they saw us. They wouldn't even talk to us even if we tried."

"Hmm... I see..." Alice nodded.

That's not the real reason why Souta decided to stay on this continent. The real reason was this land was currently the safest place for Alice as demon forces were pursuing her. The demon forces would slow down advancing in this land as one of the Seven Deadly Sins will launch an all-out attack on various major factions in this continent.

It will become an all-out war involving the top powerhouses at god realm.

Although, the battle here will be much worse. At the very least, the target of the Deadly Sins wasn't him or Alice. It was the major factions, unlike the demon forces whose target was her.

He could simply stay at the sideline and watch the story unfold before his eyes. He didn't have enough power to join the battle so it's better if he stayed out of it.

No, no, no, not completely stayed out of it. There were a bunch of quests that he could trigger if the Deadly Sins attack. Especially, concerning the officers of the Deadly Sins.

The Deadly Sins was a huge organization and Gluttony had followers. So fighting the followers of Gluttony was enough for him. He wouldn't directly involve himself in Gluttony as it could result in his death.

He was already concerned about Lucifer and he wouldn't add Gluttony to that. Or else he wouldn't know how he would die.

"I will try to precisely know our location later. I couldn't move right now so we'll try it later." Souta said to her.

"Okay... It's my first time on God's Continent. I only know about it from the books that I've read back then when I was still in the Demon's Land." Alice said to him.

"Well, it's different. In the Giza Continent, the gods aren't actively interfering in the affairs of mortals. Remember the gods of the Hebrei Kingdom, the gods of Hebrei haven't appeared in the public for decades. Only the top echelons could meet the gods. Yet, in this land, the gods had always appeared and choose their heroes among mortals." Souta slowly explained to her.

"Heroes? Is that the people that they choose to bestow their blessings, right?" Alice asked.

"Well, it depends on gods. Some gods called them Apostles or Heroes. Once you reach god-level you can create your own name. As for me, I will simply call them Apostle. The Apostle Generals of my own army." Souta said with a smile.

"Are you sure that you can reach that level? It feels like you didn't doubt yourself." Alice asked with a small smile as she glanced at him.

"Of course, if I didn't die then I will surely achieve the level of gods. Are you doubting your leader? Sigh... I forgot that you have sworn your loyalty to me." Souta sighed as he teased her. He acted as if he was depressed.

"What are you saying? I'm not..." Alice slightly raised her voice but Souta raised his hand to stop her from talking.

"I'm just kidding. But I'm surely going to achieve the god level in the future. I'm going to live freely in this world. No one could hunt me if I'm stronger than anyone else." Souta said.

"I understand you. Right now, demons are the most hated creatures in Imperium as my father's army is attacking the Giza and God's Continent. So I need to hide my identity all the time. I also have be to on guard with every people that I encounter in case they become suspicious." Alice said as she lowered her head.

"The answer to most of the question is individual strength. If you are strong enough to dominate this entire then mortals and gods wouldn't bother you even if you are a demon or monster." Souta replied to her as he sensed her sadness. "Just become powerful. Focus on training and I will help you when you need it."

"I realized that too but reaching god level isn't easy as you said, countless people dreamed of reaching that level yet only a handful of them succeeded," Alice said.

"You're the daughter of one of the most powerful demons yet you don't have the confidence to reach your father's level."

"My father's might is fearsome. Even I, his daughter, couldn't understand the extent of his powers. Once I saw him easily kill a strong monster lord before. He wasn't even serious at that time."

"I understand it. It's hard to explain but I know the extent of the top powerhouses in this world."

Souta wasn't lying. In the game, he saw Lucifer's full power and it was really powerful. Ordinary gods didn't stand a chance against him.

"Don't worry, we'll reach that level in the future. Just focus on your development like what I always do. Train your power level and skills."

"I know. It's not like I'm not training." Alice said to him.

"Can you help me stand up?" Souta stretched out his hand.

Alice shook her head and helped him with a small smile on her beautiful face. Regardless of his weak condition, Souta still believes that he would be able to surpass the top gods.

Now that they've returned to Imperium. Souta needed to start his plan. He had enough power to retrieve some of the equipment he had in the game. He will start it after he confirms their location in God's Continent.

But before that, he had to settle down first. He couldn't bring all the people here to any city as it will arouse any officials. They will think that he was trying to wage a war.

The Guardian Fortresses were enough as their headquarters but they needed to repair it first. The second thing was the resources. They needed to make a deal with some wealthy merchant so that they could get their daily necessities.

Luckily, Souta wasn't alone. He had capable people with him. Torkez had experience in running and creating an organization. After all, he was the founder of the rebel army that fought against the Great Astley Empire. He also had Alice with him who was a princess of one of the largest demon empires.
