[801-1000] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 945 Battle at the Selnes Country: Reaction

Within the Forest of Eternal Light...

Seated on her throne, Raeshka closed her eyes, attuned to a stirring sensation. Gradually, she opened them, focusing her gaze in a specific direction.

"Hmm... An Emperor has emerged among the ranks of goblins. This will add to the chaos," she murmured, her eyes scanning beyond the walls, observing her subordinates' movements.

"All goblin species under my domain sense the awakening of an Emperor..."

Her eyes shut once more as she pondered the unfolding events in this tumultuous time. Memories surfaced, recalling a particular bear she had blessed.

"One thing's certain—the new Emperor doesn't belong to the ranks of Monster Lords. The throne remains unoccupied. Perhaps it's time to confer with the other Lords in this forest."

...

In a hidden enclave on an island within the God's Continent...

Aleteya stirred from her dormancy, roused by a peculiar frequency in the air, discernible only to a Monster Lord.

"A new Emperor... and from a goblin species, no less. It's been quite a while since the last Emperor appeared. I recall two hundred years ago, the emergence of an Emperor among the spiders," Aleteya mused, narrowing her eyes. The time lapse since the last Emperor's appearance seemed notably shorter this time, signaling shifts in the world.

"It's only been two hundred years since the rise of the Spider Queen, the Obsidian Divine Spider Emperor. She ascended as the Monster Lord of Trial... Merely two hundred years ago."

Her gaze swept over the vast expanse of the God's Continent, contemplating the moves of Gluttony. Chaos had brewed ever since Gluttony's actions led to the demise of the five gods of the Eru Empire, signaling his readiness to confront the Holy Lands.

Aleteya shifted her attention toward the Giza Continent.

"Hmm... It might be time for me to extend my influence in this realm as well."

...

On a small island nestled between the Giza Continent and Demon's Land...

"Just now... The goblin species has birthed another Emperor. We're uncertain about its classification, but it hasn't yet reached the level of a Monster Lord," a man of six feet in height spoke calmly. He was garbed in a simple black cloak and brown pants, with a sharp face framed by long, disheveled brown hair cascading down his back. His pointed ears resembled those of elves, while his eyes were a stark black with a small green dot at the center of his pupils. A thick beard adorned his visage, and fur covered his wrist, extending up to his shoulder.

The raw aura he exuded possessed such savagery that it could render ordinary individuals helpless at its mere presence.

"An Emperor among goblins... It seems those two fellows in the Dark Forest were eager to ascertain who would achieve such a feat," the man chuckled, causing a slight fluctuation in his aura that shook the immediate surroundings.

"Control your energy, Underground King. It wouldn't bode well if other forces were to detect us at this juncture," cautioned a man with immaculate white hair, akin to feathers, and eyes that resembled those of a hawk. His nails were as sharp as eagle's talons.

"Nevertheless, it's disconcerting that the goblins have produced yet another Emperor. I'm curious about the kind of goblin it might be. The other two will undoubtedly want this information. They are, after all, the Emperors of the Frozen Dominion and the Frenzied Fear goblin species."

"Those two won't learn their lessons and might just face the same fate we do once they exit the Dark Forest. The Three Great Countries won't take kindly to their emergence," the Underground King remarked. Then, he turned to Sky King, recollecting an incident, "I recall that you eliminated the other Emperors of the hawk species after ascending as an Emperor yourself."
