Chapter 363 - I'm Just a Goblin

The reason they said this wasn't out of kindness.

But rather looking at Luo Ai'er's potential and strength.

Even if Satan were resurrected, that didn't mean he could defeat all the divine courts.

Before, he had been killed and sealed by several divine courts joining forces, so he needed the power of the old gods.

Hearing this.

Luo Ai'er's attitude was firm, "Enough, I am the noble Star Sea God King, I won't stoop so low as to frame others for a weapon magical artifact."

No matter what, Lin Tian had already moved her with his actions.

If she were to join with Mechikura and the others in framing him, it would be too beneath a God King's dignity.

"Utterly foolish, then don't interfere with our affairs! This is for the greater good!"

Dante cursed angrily.

Luo Ai'er looked at Lin Tian again, "Won't you resist at all? Dwarves are very protective of their own - if you fall into their hands, you'll surely die!!"

She couldn't bear to think how miserably he would die if sent into the bunker!

Mechikura, Dante and the others wore savage grins.

As long as they could obtain god-slaying level weapons, they would use any means necessary.

However.

Lin Tian just shrugged, "Is that so? If I can survive, there's something important I want to tell you - about the old gods of reincarnation and rebirth."

"You know about this? Don't go throwing your life away - if you escape now, there should still be time!"

Luo Ai'er said worriedly.

Seeing this.

Mechikura sensed something was wrong and began shouting toward the steel fortress ahead, "Respected Dwarf King Your Majesty, I am Mechikura of the Satan Cult, with urgent matters to report!"

A magic circle branded on the steel fortress began glowing brightly.

A light ring appeared, within which was clearly the Dwarf King's phantom.

He looked similar to Hotu - the same blue-green skin and hair, but with several additional red markings on his face.

A golden crown adorned his head.

Naturally imposing without anger! Extremely domineering!

The armor he wore was very peculiar, completely different from conventional types!

More like an exoskeleton, not fitting tightly to his body, with many complex instruments.

Like future technology.

Half an eye also wore a precision instrument.

This was the Dwarf King, the Craftsman God 'Berus'.

"Lord Mechikura, please speak."

The Dwarf King's voice slowly rang out.

Just from using projection magic, one could see how strong this bunker's defensive vigilance was.

Not even opening a single gap.

Countless dark magical cannons and physical gun barrels had already locked onto Lin Tian and the others.

If they opened fire, even with the strongest defensive abilities, they'd be blown to smithereens!

After arriving, Lin Tian had roughly estimated - at least ten thousand conventional defensive firepower units, and over a thousand special firepower positions!

Such terrifying firepower, no wonder they had the confidence to rival God Kings.

Conventional defensive firepower simply meant gun turrets, while special firepower consisted of magic circle attacks that could release elements, even poison gas, puppets, and so on.

Hearing this.

Mechikura first bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty Berus, there's painful news to tell you - Marquis Hotu... has fallen, cruelly murdered by this goblin!"

"What! Hotu!"

The Dwarf King was clearly emotionally agitated, only now noticing the corpse on the ground.

The eye wearing the special instrument burst with intense red light.

He questioned hatefully, "Goblin?! Why did he die at the hands of a mere lowly monster goblin! How did it get in!"

"This was an accident. This goblin was originally our ally, but had a conflict with Marquis Hotu, which led to this tragedy. However, we subdued it immediately and escorted it here for Your Majesty's disposal!"

Mechikura continued.

Things had come to this point - he could only try to clear his own name this way, while seeing if he could obtain a god-slaying level weapon.

At this time.

Luo Ai'er was still giving Lin Tian meaningful looks - as long as he hadn't entered the bunker, escape was still possible.

If he really went in, certain death awaited!

Anyway, after escaping, the dwarves couldn't possibly send troops to hunt him down.

And the dwarves wouldn't tear relations apart over just Hotu's death.

After all, they were grasshoppers on the same boat.

The Dwarf King fell briefly silent, but his anger was already overflowing, "I understand. Goblin, I will never show you mercy! You better prepare yourself for unbearable agony!!"

"Someone, dispatch a Destruction Army to escort it inside!"

The Destruction Army consisted of dwarf elites equipped with Radiant Sun-level armor and weapons.

The very bottom of the bunker began trembling slightly, opening a gap like door locks and latches.

The gap alone was a full three meters thick!

Through the gap, one could see this bunker was at least ten meters thick!

Even if it were just iron, a God King couldn't break through!

Let alone this special alloy the dwarves had collected and refined over hundreds of years!

It had unparalleled resistance to magic.

However.

Lin Tian wasn't shocked - instead, he found it laughable.

These self-isolated dwarves greatly underestimated the gods.

If he wanted to enter directly, it would be easy - just activate Jehovah's Protection to make his body enter a virtual state.

Like when he seized the Devil Fruit before, he could penetrate and ignore anything.

But just as Lin Tian was being escorted to the bunker entrance.

His heart couldn't help but tremble!

"Magic nullification?! I see..."

Lin Tian muttered in amazement - this bunker's material could nullify or weaken magic.

If he used Jehovah's Protection, the original three seconds of invincibility would become just a fraction of a second.

No wonder these guys were so confident.

Being able to weaken magic meant one had to break through this bunker with bare hands.

And the bunker's surface had over ten thousand gun turrets.

Ranged magical attacks would become negligible when approaching - they didn't need to fear at all.

You'd have to approach and attack with flesh and blood.

No matter how strong one's body, it couldn't withstand such terrifying firepower.

Even gods would be turned into sieves.

Watching the great door close, Lin Tian's figure was escorted inside and disappeared, along with Hotu's corpse.

Luo Ai'er was both anxious and helpless.

She didn't understand why he chose suicide, even releasing his contract with her at the last moment.

Of course.

This was Lin Tian's method of manipulating people's hearts.

At this time, Mechikura finally stated his purpose, "Dwarf King Your Majesty, we have another matter to discuss."

"Speak quickly, I want to personally make that goblin suffer unbearably!"

The Dwarf King said through gritted teeth with hatred.

Dante spoke with a sly grin, "Our years of intelligence gathering and strategic planning - by any calculation, we need two god-slaying level weapons to reclaim Lord Satan's physical body. What do you think..."

Hearing this, the Dwarf King's expression became as ugly as Hotu's had been before.

He definitely wouldn't agree to such a thing.

Seeing this, Mechikura hurriedly added, "Your Majesty, you know that even the weakest Sun God Clan, though without a God King, still has three Main God level existences! Unlike the Heavenly Divine Court with only one."

"I've said countless times - we can no longer spare additional god-slaying level weapons or magical artifacts. Energy is also becoming scarcer. Future wars will determine the fate of the dwarf race."

The Dwarf King said irritably - this was of course a lie.

But he didn't want to sour relations either, so he reconsidered, "In recognition of your honesty in not covering for that goblin, I can gift each of you one Radiant Sun-level armor or weapon!"

"Without god-slaying level equipment, we can't fight Main Gods or God Kings - their abilities are too abnormal!"

Mechikura continued pleading.

Unfortunately.

Even if they talked themselves hoarse, it wouldn't be possible.

Mechikura hurriedly signaled Luo Ai'er, "What are you standing there for? Say something! Tell him that after restoring the old divine court, you'll protect the Dwarf Kingdom and let them stop hiding underground - he'll definitely agree!"

Indeed.

Saying this would greatly increase the chances of agreement.

The Dwarf King might even find it reliable, given the old divine court God King's considerable prestige.

Trustworthy.

However.

Luo Ai'er remained silent - this was her greatest respect for Lin Tian, thinking to herself, "Even if I don't understand why you chose suicide, I won't stoop so low as to use you to obtain weapons."

"Additionally, I'll let you enjoy the surface cities for one more day - experience our dwarven customs! The Radiant Sun-level magical artifacts will be sent out in due time! That's all!"

The Dwarf King said hurriedly.

He was eager to go deal with Lin Tian.

The phantom dispersed.

Mechikura stamped his feet angrily, "Damn it! Lord Luo Ai'er, what's wrong with you? Can you still be a qualified ally! If we obtained just one more god-slaying level weapon, we could completely reverse the entire situation!"

Dante's eyes flashed with savage light as he glared at Luo Ai'er but said nothing.

There was no need to say anything.

He was just full of hatred.

"Since we have a day to explore, why not go look around? Perhaps we can move Berus through other dwarves."

Luo Ai'er said calmly.

Mechikura and the others could only do this now, but the seeds of hatred toward Luo Ai'er had been planted.

...

Pure-blood Dwarf Kingdom bunker.

This place was perhaps the true Dwarf Kingdom!

The area was divided into upper and lower levels, each about fifty miles across - only half the size of the Goblin Empire.

Combined, they'd be equal.

Lin Tian was escorted by the Destruction Legion dwarves. When he saw the bunker's interior, he couldn't help but be surprised!

Fresh air! Lush vegetation! Babbling streams!

Flocks of birds soaring overhead, rabbits rustling in grass, deer - everything was there!

At the very top was a bright luminous device.

Replacing the sun.

There were also weather devices that could create rain, wind, even snow.

"Heh heh, surprised?"

"Our dwarven wisdom is a height you foolish goblins can never reach!"

"Get ready - you're going to die miserably! How dare you kill Marquis Hotu!"

These soldiers' faces showed either mockery or hatred!

They escorted Lin Tian toward the farthest point - a palace situated atop the layered urban districts.

That was where the Dwarf King resided - very imposing!

Surrounding it like terraced fields, layer upon layer in good order - all residential areas.

Soon.

They arrived at the royal palace.

Looking around, it was very shocking! You could see the entire kingdom's full view.

The scenery was absolutely stunning.

And throughout the kingdom, dwarf stone sculptures stood in every direction - very imposing.

"You're the goblin who killed Hotu? You look incredibly filthy! Ugly! Stupid! Full of lowly stench!!!"

Suddenly, an angry shout rang out!

Dwarf King Berus slowly emerged from the palace. Besides his futuristic technological outfit, he also had a colorful hammer emblem on his chest!

Gold represented royalty, while multicolored meant king!

Dazzling and eye-catching.

Lin Tian's expression was calm as he spoke, "That's right, I killed him. By the way, you're living quite comfortably here, aren't you, Dwarf King?"

"That's none of your concern. What you should worry about is how to face our pure-blood dwarf race's fury!"

The Dwarf King said viciously.

He continued, "In our dwarven history, we've invented three hundred types of punishment. Thirty light punishments like whipping and hard labor.

Eighty severe punishments! Like finger severing and ear cutting!

Ten extreme punishments! Death by a thousand cuts, human swine, cannon roasting... You should know what you're facing, right?"

The surrounding dwarf elites and nobles all wore savage grins.

It seemed they didn't really care much about Hotu's death.

They just wanted to see how to torture Lin Tian.

"That's right, you'll face all three hundred punishments! Every single one!!!"

The Dwarf King finally said, laughing maniacally with crazed delight!

Lin Tian sneered coldly, "So frightening. Have you been so bored here that you specialize in studying punishments, taking pleasure in torturing people?"

"Stop right there - we don't torture people, usually just monsters and sub-humans, hehehe!"

Beside him, a dwarf with a golden hammer emblem on his chest said.

Looking at their expressions, Lin Tian seemed to understand why these guys were classified as monsters.

Fundamentally, their cruel bestial nature was very strong.

Of course, many humans were the same.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out as the chains binding Lin Tian directly snapped!

Many dwarf nobles' expressions changed dramatically, "He actually dares resist?! Overestimating himself!!"

The Destruction Legion dwarf elites quickly surrounded him!

All possessed Radiant Sun-level abilities - even Main Gods would have to submit.

Lin Tian didn't rush to act, instead asking, "I didn't come here to confess guilt, but to deliver an order. If you don't comply, the result will be the same as that guy's."

He pointed at Hotu's corpse on the ground.

"Deliver an order?"

"Hahaha! This goblin is really interesting - if you didn't know better, you'd think he was a God King!"

"Too bad, even God Kings have no authority to give us orders!"

"What kind of trash are you anyway?"

The many dwarves mocked him.

Very disdainful.

Lin Tian's face darkened as he slowly replied, "What am I? Just a Goblin King who recently destroyed the Hercules God Empire, Northern Snow Region, Desert Empire, City of the Wise, and War God Empire...

Oh right, not long ago, some winged guys from the sky were also wiped out along the way."

Hearing those names of various powers.

These dwarves' expressions grew increasingly heavy! They couldn't help but become vigilant!
