"You didn't forget about something, did you?
That group up in the sky still isn't taken care of."
Lin Tian pointed upward as he spoke.
Everyone called his Goblin Empire something he built up by "picking up the pieces."
But the mess left by the Church and the Great Tomb was something no monster faction could endure.
They'd provoked angels and gods with godhood awakened.
If not for Lin Tian's system, he wouldn't have dared to touch this hot potato.
The One-Eyed Owl suddenly understood.
"Ah, right!
I just hope the Archangel's strength won't disappoint me!"
"Don't get cocky, Big Sis.
Falling on your face would be pretty embarrassing."
Lin Tian couldn't help but say.
This one really acted like the true Demon King of Pride, as if nothing mattered in her eyes.
She had no exceptional abilities either—just brainless physical attacks.
The moment she met a real bug-level opponent, she'd be sure to suffer for it.
Even though the full details of the Demon Kings weren't clear, just from that Lust Demon King who couldn't fight at all, he figured they all had mythic-level powers, true bugs.
Hearing this, the One-Eyed Owl scoffed.
"What, do you want a match with me?
Hold on!
There are a few monsters moving towards us!"
She quickly turned her head toward the opposite shore of the lake.
There, three figures appeared, each radiating an intense, dark aura that seemed to spill over the lake.
The sight was deeply unsettling.
"Who are they…"
The One-Eyed Owl stared ahead, extremely alert.
Bill suddenly spoke, "Hey?
Isn't that Gobu Kuang?
Why is he with a few monsters I haven't seen before?"
"They're not new monsters—they're Gobu Tian, Gobu Shan, and Gobu Jian.
It seems they've completed their final evolutions, and they look quite different now."
Lin Tian glanced across the lake, a faint smile forming on his lips.
He felt truly gratified.
Immediately, a bridge made of bones rose up over the lake.
It was Gobu Shan's ability.
The four figures excitedly rushed across, shouting, "Boss!!!
We've evolved!
This feels amazing!"
Gobu Kuang chuckled, "This past month has been so exciting!
Everywhere we went, monsters would follow us.
There was even a goblin tribe that kidnapped their Goblin King just to offer him to us!
Hahaha!"
"I never thought that when we had two Goblin Kings on our side, the other goblin tribes would just betray their leaders and surrender to us."
Gobu Jian spoke, unable to hold back, eager to share everything with Lin Tian.
As they talked, Lin Tian pulled up his system to check their status panels.
He didn't care much for the stories—he wanted to see how much stronger they'd become.
…
[Gobu Tian: Lv100
Race: Goblin
Profession: Obscure Assassin
Titles: Ubiquitous Assassin, Goblin King, God's Blessing, …
Health: 3100
Strength: 1380
Defense: 1002
Skills: Shadow Form (can turn into a shadow to move across surfaces, with doubled speed in darkness), Deadly Backstab (deals double damage from behind), …
Equipment: Void Dagger, Super Alloy Light Armor
Overall: 11,001]
Now, Gobu Tian still had the same small goblin build, yet a dark aura now cloaked him, making him look extremely menacing.
Lin Tian felt satisfied.
He'd grown a lot stronger.
…
[Gobu Shan: Lv100
Race: Goblin
Profession: Bone Warrior
Titles: Endless Sea of Bones, Bone King, Goblin King, …
Health: 3601
Strength: 1221
Defense: 1590
Skills: Cursed Bones – Frenzy (extended control range up to a thousand meters, with enhanced durability)
Equipment: Athena's Spear and Shield
Overall: 10,021]
Seeing this, Lin Tian understood how Gobu Shan had built that bone bridge.
Now, his Cursed Bones ability covered a much wider range, far beyond the previous dozens or even hundreds of meters.
Though relatively weaker, it still had the potential to be incredibly powerful if used well.
…
[Gobu Jian: Lv100
Race: Goblin
Profession: Frenzied Sword-wielding Beast
Titles: Sword Demon, Goblin King, God's Blessing, …
Health: 3701

Equipment: Magic-Sealing Sword
Overall: 10,900]
It looked like all three had reached over ten thousand in battle power.
Although, in the current situation, a power level of ten thousand was no longer that impressive.
But relatively speaking, their strength had improved significantly.
Lin Tian was fairly satisfied.
He figured they'd just need more training.
After all, these were his most trusted subordinates, all goblins.
They had to be stronger.
His own pride was at stake.
"Alright, it'll do.
When the time comes, head to the Uninhabited Zone, kill a few Demon Kings for some stronger abilities, and boost your power to fifteen thousand," Lin Tian said.
Reaching Demon King level was the bare minimum, though the Great Demon King level would be even better.
He added, "Actually, forget it.
I'll let you all consume those Seven Lords of Sin instead—no, make that six of them.
Even if we have bad luck, one of you should manage to absorb at least one mythic-level skill."
Though there were seven Lords, there was no way he'd give them the Lust Demon King's power.
Even if it turned them into flower fairies or something even more beautiful, Lin Tian wouldn't touch them.
Hearing this, Gobu Kuang and the others were beyond thrilled.
"Thank you, Boss!
To think we could become a Demon King level creature… I wouldn't have dared to dream it!"
"Following Boss was the best choice we ever made!"
"We've gotta be the happiest goblins in the world, I'm so touched I could cry!"
Watching their eyes mist over, Lin Tian rolled his eyes.
"Alright, cut it out.
If you want to get stronger, go beg Master Bill, see if he can craft some Moonlight-class magic gear for each of you."
"Hmm?"
Their eyes immediately locked onto Bill.
But Lin Tian couldn't do much.
Moonlight-class magic gear was extremely rare, and the materials were hard to come by.
They simply didn't have enough resources.
Unless they found some in the Uninhabited Zone or near the Demigod Empire, only then could they maybe spare some.
Right then and there, Gobu Kuang wrapped his arms around Bill, saying, "Master, I know I don't have anything you'd like right now, and I can't give you what you want, but you'd still be willing to make me some magic gear, right?
Right?"
"In your dreams!
I'm not giving you anything!
And I've barely closed my eyes all month.
I had to rally tens of thousands of goblins just to gather the materials, and even then, there wasn't enough for extras," Bill said with a determined look.
Gobu Tian's eyes sparkled.
"Master, how about I catch a few females you like?
I only need a set of armor; my Void Dagger is already good enough."
"Scram, scram!
Your boss already promised me I could go to the capital and choose my consorts!
As many as I want!"
Thinking of this, Bill's wrinkled face nearly cracked with joy.
He was absolutely ecstatic.
