The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Ibis activated her combat arts and spells one by one. After a few seconds, she glanced at Souta and Governor Ray and gave them a nod before she charged ahead.

Swoosh!!

She was going to fight No God Emperor even if she fell in this battle. She was a true warrior at heart.

Governor Ray turned to Souta. He placed his hand inside his pocket and asked, "Can you fight?"

"I recovered a little bit of my strength," Souta answered.

"Take your time. Here." Governor Ray threw a small bottle of potion at Souta.

Souta caught it and realized that it wasn't a health potion or mana potion. The liquid inside the bottle was orange and he was familiar with it. This potion was a monster potion, he used it before when fighting stronger opponents.

"Take your time, use it to recover more of your strength." Governor Ray said to him before he turned his attention to No God Emperor.

Boom!!

Gerxuzs and Alexander were laying on the ground. Their bodies were full of heavy injuries and their energy waves were getting lower and lower.

They tried to move their bodies but exhaustion assaulted them. Even at their full powers, they couldn't even bring No God Emperor to his knees one time.

No God Emperor stared at the crimson net. He narrowed his eyes and learned that his awakening was getting completed.

Just a little bit more time and the cells of this body would change to match his own. It would leave permanent damage to this body but he didn't care at all. He just wanted to swap it so he wasn't going to use it next time.

He shook his head and glanced at the two before he pointed his finger at them.

Ohm!!

A ball of energy gathered at the tip of his finger. He was going to end the lives of these two unbelievable creatures.

He wasn't going to humiliate them anymore. They were worthy of his respect so he was going to end their suffering. They could die with great honor as the one they fought was none other than him, No God Emperor.

At this moment, a red figure flashed toward the two. It was Ibis, a Grain Leader from Athen's Champion. She grabbed both Alexander and Gerxuzs before she threw them out of the way.

Governor Ray jumped ahead and caught the two before he threw them in again in a faraway place so that they wouldn't get affected in the battle.

"I forgot that there are four of you." No God Emperor muttered but he still fired the energy on the tip of his finger.

Ibis pulled out her sword and slashed the energy beam.

[Great Tidal Flash]!!

The energy blade that she threw sliced the beam into two. It passed beside her creating a massive explosion.

"I'm not done yet!"

Ibis bent her knees before she dashed toward No God Emperor. She drove her sword with great momentum.

Swoosh!!

No God Emperor stepped back but Ibis was already in front of him. He raised his hand and she swung her sword with extreme speed. But then, the blade passed through his wrist.

"What?! Illusion...?! No, the Faint Sword Skill...?!"

No God Emperor realized the technique she was using. When he looked up, he saw several hundreds of blades slashing at him.

Shiing!!

[Faint Sword Technique: Blooming Flowers]!!

It was like a grinding machine. Hundreds of sword slashes were created in an instant, decimating the whole land into tiny pieces.

Ugh!

No God Emperor was pushed back as several cuts appeared on his body. Still, he thought that Gerxuzs, Souta, and Alexander were the only exceptional ones but he didn't think that there was another one here.

He grinned widely, "Faint Sword Skill... You are from Athen's Legion? I didn't think that I would meet a person who could use the same sword skill as her. Although you can't use its full strength it was still a powerful sword skill."

"My Faint Sword Skill is nothing... I just exchange it with all my contribution points. I've spent several years training this skill." Ibis said before she pounced on her opponent.

[Faint Sword Technique: Ultimate Heaven's Uprising]!!

She raised her sword above her head and heavily slashed it down. The whole scenery changed immediately. Pink flowers started to appear and it was a manifestation of her energy. Each one contained an enormous sword will.

No God Emperor was about to avoid the slash when Governor Ray arrived beside him. He pushed No God Emperor back to Ibis' range and used a skill to restrain him for a second.

Swoosh!!

No God Emperor was cut once again. This time, it was deep and the cut was huge. His wrist was almost sliced into two. His chest was bleeding horrendously.

Argh!!

He jumped away to create a distance between the two. He looked down at his state and said, "The battle before wears down the energy fields protecting my body..."

"But..." No God Emperor stared at Ibis and Governor Ray before he continued, "If you think that this is enough to beat me then you are wrong."

"I'll show you something." Governor Ray said with a smirk.

No God Emperor curiously raised his eyebrows as if he was telling Governor Ray to show him what he got.

Governor took out a small bottle from his pocket and removed its cap. He drank the liquid inside the bottle without hesitation.

Thud!

The next second, intense pain assaulted his body and he felt that his heart was beating wildly. His aura was growing stronger and his mana slowly turned into the best feram.

What he drank was a monster potion.

The potion that would let him temporarily gain the power of a monster.

"Are you out of your mind?" No God Emperor asked.

Even Ibis was shocked at Governor Ray's action. She didn't expect that Governor Ray would force himself to drink a monster potion. The side-effect of that potion was extremely dangerous.

Governor Ray simply gritted his teeth and endured the pain. He was prepared to take everything the moment he stepped on this path. He couldn't back down. He would bring down No God Emperor and that was the goal that was passed down in his family.

"I can handle this amount of pain!! Argh!!"

He roared as his aura soared through the sky, shaking the whole land with his indomitable power.

No God Emperor finally noticed that something was wrong. He widened his eyes as he stared at Governor Ray with eyes filled with surprise.

"Y-You!! You have the blood of...! You even trained my [Divine Circulation] to the limit!"

He couldn't believe what he was seeing right now.

"Yeah, I'm the descendant of your father. Well, it also means that you and I are blood-related." Governor Ray grinned maniacally. He was waiting for this moment in his entire life. He wanted to complete the restraint that was passed down on his family.

"My father, Vexus... I didn't think that we would have a child with another person after the death of my mother... It's really surprising that it made my blood boil. Do you know what my father did to me?" No God Emperor's tone had changed.

"He betrayed me! He's the reason why I was sealed in that fucking mountain! Ahahahaha!! Interesting! Well, well, well, I could only say that this is going too well for me."

He laughed madly as if he achieved a lifelong dream.

"Your blood! I will absorb it to complete this body! That way, the ritual will speed up and the fountain will finally recognize this body as me! Oh, maybe, you have my father's corpse... It would work pretty fast if I had his cells and blood. It's here, right? My father is a God so his corpse wouldn't rot."

No God Emperor slightly bent his knees. He was different from before. This time, he was the one that initiated the battle. He rushed toward Governor Ray with overwhelming momentum.

"You agitated him," Ibis said to Governor Ray.

"It doesn't matter if we please him or not. Our goal is still to defeat him." Governor Ray replied.

"True." Ibis nodded at his words.

Swoosh!!

Governor Ray stepped forward and threw a punch. No God Emperor swung his fist and both of their fists collided causing the land to shake.

Ibis jumped to the side and slashed her sword. She and Governor Ray worked together to fight their opponent. Their cooperation was better than Gerxuzs and Alexander. They filled up each other's weaknesses.

Bang! Bang!!

Governor Ray was a descendant of No God Emperor's father. His dad told him that No God Emperor would return one day and their mission was to prevent it. It was passed down from generation to generation.

He once asked his father why they had to prevent No God Emperor from awakening when they were related to each other. The answer that he received was that No God Emperor was the cause of Hall Plains' downfall a thousand years ago.

The moment No God Emperor broke his fate while he was mortal, he became the enemy of Imperium. It was equivalent to challenging the whole world.
