The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

"And you still think that No God Emperor is a lighter threat? The Great Lambs are gone so no one will contain him anymore." Aleteya smiled.

"No matter what, I will stop you first. I will deal with that matter later." Grim answered with a determined look on his face.

"Suit yourself. Come, I will show you why you are a mortal." Aleteya raised her fists.

...

Somewhere in the Imperium, Aleteya's real body was sitting on a throne with her eyes tightly close.

A few seconds passed and the corner of her mouth slightly curved upward.

"A mortal like him thought that he could join the upcoming era... Maybe, he wanted to advance his ascension but it's not easy as he thought it would be."

She slightly opened her eyes as a figure appeared in front of her. It was a man wearing a black tailcoat. The man had short blue hair and eyes.

"What are you doing here, Organ?" Aleteya asked the man in front of her.

The man named Organ turned his back on her before he said, "They are trying to awaken the No God Emperor. Gluttony made an appearance but he didn't do anything about the seal. The other gods are watching it in case the No God Emperor came out."

"So, what are you trying to say?" Aleteya raised her eyebrows.

"Are you going to stay here and let them do whatever they wanted?" Organ asked.

"I have my own plans... Plus, No God Emperor will not be able to last long the moment he came out of Heaven's Sealing Mountain." Aleteya said with a faint smile.

Something came into Organ's mind. He glanced at Aleteya and said, "Are you saying...?"

Aleteya nodded at him, "Yes, the gods of God's Continent will dispatch several gods to seal No God Emperor once again. Currently, less than ten gods are fortifying the crimson net."

"Hmm... I see... So you're planning to." Organ paused as he looked into her eyes.

Aleteya didn't hide anything. She nodded and revealed some of her plans to him. "Once they've taken care of the No God Emperor. I will go there and eliminate all those gods swiftly before any reinforcement could arrive."

"So you plan to start the war between gods?" Organ understood what she wanted to do.

"Isn't this the same as what that guy in the Zodiacs did at that time?" Aleteya asked back.

"It's different. It's outside of Imperium but now you are going to show your power here in this land. Are you going to use the full power of your Grid?"

"If necessary, I will use it. If not, I will refrain myself from doing so." Aleteya then turned her head in the direction of Heaven's Sealing Mountain. "What about you, Organ? What are you planning to do?"

"Me? I'm planning to stand on the sideline." Organ said with a laugh.

"Don't ever get in my way or else I will be forced to kill you," Aleteya said coldly.

"Let's see when that happens. Well, you don't have to worry about me. I'm busy observing the chaos in Ruin Desolate Land." Organ said before he vanished into thin air just like how he appeared here.

"Ruin Desolate... Organ, the Commandment of Faith. What a troublesome god." Aleteya muttered before she closed her eyes once again.

...

At the frontline of the Mine Valley...

The forces of the Dragon Council were still fighting the tribes from the Earthen Woods. Even in the current situation, the tribes were still determined to take over the Mine Valley.

It gives everyone an idea that the tribes were maybe working with the Hall of Power. After all, among the regions of the Hall Plains, only the Earthen Woods became united and didn't suffer many casualties in the past few months.

Eilish and the other Heads of the Dragon Council were leading the battle.

They were on the winning side ever since Eilish and the others joined the war. In their first appearance, they already destroyed a total of thirteen enemy camps.

Eilish looked at the state of the battlefield with a frown on her face. They were defeating and conquering enemy camps one by one so she should be happy but something felt wrong for her.

It feels like the enemy thought that they could still win. If that's the case, then they were still hiding something that could change the tide of her.

Eilish turned her head and glanced at the huge mountain on the horizon.

"I wonder if they are fine..." She muttered to herself.

The job that Souta gave to her before he departed was to extinguish the tribes from the Earthen Woods. Make the bow under the name of the Astros. It was hard since she wasn't fighting just a single organization but an entire region in Hall Plains, a region that was comparable to the Spring Land, the Earthen Woods.

The tribes still have powerhouses but they haven't appeared yet. They have several Shackled Realm experts waiting for the right opportunity to appear.

That's why Eilish was cautious. The other Heads of the Dragon Council too.

Boom!!

A huge explosion occurred several kilometers away.

Eilish turned her head and looked in that direction. She narrowed her eyes and tried to feel any sort of energy fluctuations in the air.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two figures appeared beside her. They were Fourth Head and Eight Head. They were in charge of all the matters of the Dragon Council in this war against the tribes from Earthen Woods.

"This huge explosion... If it's not caused by a weapon then only a Shackled Realm could do that." Jovi, Fourth Head, said in a low voice.

Eilish glanced at the two of them and nodded. She had the same idea.

"It seems that their experts couldn't take losing any more of their troops." Eight Head said. He then glanced at Jovi and added, "I'll go now. The enemy didn't know that you were here so you should hide for now."

"I'll go too," Eilish said.

"Then, let's get going." Eight Head said before his body shot through the sky.

Swoosh!

Eilish followed behind him as she took out her staff. She silently prepared herself to cast any spells.

Jovi looked at their back before he vanished. He would watch their backs in case the explosion was a trap to attract the powerhouses of the Dragon Council.

Soon, the troops of the Dragon Council were also dispatched to the explosion.

Eilish and Eight Head arrived at the site. They floated hundreds of meters above the ground, looking down with cautiousness in their eyes.

They surveyed the devastated land and saw dozens of corpses. They recognized that the corpses were people of the Dragon Council from their attire.

"The fluctuations of energy in this area are strong... Surely, a Shackled Realm is a culprit behind this." Eight Head said in a low voice.

"They are here," Eilish muttered.

Swoosh!!

The wind blew strongly, dispersing all the smoke in the surrounding area. This gave Eilish and Eight Head a clearer view of the scene before them.

They saw five figures staring at them from below. Four men and one woman. All of them have an aura of a One Shackle Realm expert.

Eight Head glanced at Eilish and asked, "Do you want to handle them?"

"No, I'll leave them to you." Eilish shook her head.

Both of them were at Two Shackles Realm so they were far better than someone at One Shackle. Eilish better saved her energy when a stronger enemy arrived so she was going to leave this battle to Eight Head.

"Fine, I'll take them all." Eight Head said as he clenched both of his fists. He shot his body downwards with high speed.

Swoosh!

The five experts prepared themselves for battle.

Boom!!

In an instant, a battle between Eight Head and five One Shackle Realm experts has begun.

Bang! Bang!

Eilish looked around wondering why the enemy sent five One Shackle Realms this time. She was still alert as she didn't think that the enemy would send these five experts to their deaths.

Five One Shackle Realms was a huge force and one wouldn't simply throw them away.

Hmm...

Eilish turned to the battle while keeping her senses to the surrounding.

In just half a minute, Eight Head was overpowering the five experts. He already killed one of them so there were only four remaining experts. They couldn't even gain an advantage against Eight Head, not in their current strength. The difference between One Shackle Realm and Two Shackles Realm was huge.

Suddenly, Eilish widened her eyes. She quickly raised her staff and a barrier formed around her.

Swoosh!

A projectile flew from a far distance and exploded upon contact with the barrier.

Boom!!

The same thing happened to Eight Head. Luckily, Eilish also created a barrier around him to protect him from the projectile.

"What's that...?"

Eight Head was a little bit surprised. He was busy fighting the remaining four experts so he didn't notice that someone targeted him.

Eilish also had the same question. The projectiles were from approximately fifty kilometers away from their position.

"Just like I thought. It's a trap. We're lucky that I'm paying attention to the surroundings or else that one would have injured us." She muttered.
