Chapter 416 – Alive?

After settling everything, Souta turned his attention to the goblin tribe. He wanted to know if Yenxa would come with him or not. If Yenxa joined his group, then he will cultivate her. He will provide her materials for her advancement and gave her training so that she would reach a height that she wouldn't reach in this small world.

In the end, it all comes to her. She will be the one to decide it. Souta would respect her decision and he will not bother her tribe.

Souta turned to Yenxa and asked, "Have you decided what you're going to do?"

Yenxa, the little goblin, was beside their leader. Jarkal, the leader of the goblin tribe, simply stood beside her. It seems that he already told her the pros and cons of coming with Souta.

Souta observed the two and from their looks, it seems that Yenxa already has an answer. "So what is it? Are you going to follow me or not?" He asked. He didn't need to say anymore about his identity as a third evolution. He already told Jarkal about it and they saw his strength when he killed the researcher.

After a few moments, Yenxa nodded and said in a goblin language, "Yes, I will come with you."

Souta raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I've already made up my mind." Yenxa nodded her head with a serious expression.

"Have bid farewell to your tribe?" Souta asked her.

Yenxa tilted her bald head in response. "Farewell, there's no need to say goodbye." She said with a confused expression.

She was a real goblin unlike Souta who only had the body of the goblin but his mind was still on the human side. So she couldn't understand the meaning of bidding farewell to comrades or loving a family. There's no love in goblin's culture. They just follow their lord or leader without hesitation and right now her leader was Souta. She would do anything that he asked her.

"Okay." Souta calmly nodded his head.

He knew that her wisdom and intelligence will increase in the future once she experienced a lot of things. Also, her evolution would increase her wisdom and intelligence too.

At that time, he could leave her some important task.

"Then, let's go inside the ship. Now that we've finished everything here it's time to conquer this world."

The ships exited the desolate land and Souta's army entered the living land. This time, all of them were filled with fighting intent. They were ready to fight the army of the Great Astley Empire in this world.

What they didn't know was that the empire's army was already waiting for them. It seems that they knew that they were in this world.

Why, no, how... How did they know about them?

Souta narrowed his eyes as he looked at the row of ships and soldiers several kilometers away from them. No one leaked their information to the enemy so how? He took out the transmission talisman and called Lydia.

"Lydia, did the empire's army knew that you are going to attack that world?" He quickly asked a question. He had to know this as Lydia's answer will confirm if his guess was true or not.

"No, they don't know about us and we successfully launched a surprise attack at some of their bases in this world. Currently, our army is fighting the empire's forces. I think that it will take over a month before we captured this world." Lydia reported to him.

"I see... The empire's army in Greia knew that I'm going to attack them." Souta said to her.

He understood that capturing a world will take longer because every world was huge. It will take them a few days before they could circle it using the ships from the empire. And they weren't simply going around the world, they were going to conquer a whole world and battles will occur. A fight will break out before they could advance.

A planet, world, realm, no matter what they called this place it still didn't matter to Souta. He will complete his quest and conquer this place.

Souta hung up the call and placed back the talisman in his pocket.

The Great World Imperium. They said that it was the strongest world in the universe, cosmos, or whatever they called it. Gods were living in this place as a particle world or planet couldn't handle their energy level. They were too strong.

People could travel manually to another world by going to outer space but that will take a long time. So they just had to create a teleportation gate and set up any coordinates to go to a world that they've wanted.

And in this particle world, Souta was one of the strongest creatures. No ordinary creature could stop the power of a third evolution monster.

"What should we do, sir?" One of the people controlling the ship asked Souta politely.

"Our plan wouldn't change. We'll still conquer this world." Souta said as he turned around. He went towards the door of the ship and asked them to open it.

Swoosh!

He flew out of the ships. His body was oozing out powerful energy that slightly distorted the space around him.

"Another batch of souls offering themselves at me..."

A smile formed on his face. He removed the [Bracelet of Silencing] and the bracelet that Alice gave to him. With this bracelet around his wrist, he wouldn't be able to fight at his strongest.

Souta raised his hand and used the [Gravitational Ball] spell to lift boulders of rocks. Then, the boulders of rocks flew towards the enemy fleet at high speed.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

When the enemy fleet saw this, their ships quickly fired their cannons. Hundreds of light beams flew towards Souta's ships at the same time. The boulders of rocks exploded before it could even land on the enemy fleet.

Boom!

Souta charged forward with a faint smile on his face. His aura was getting stronger and denser as he activated several of his skills and spells. He then slowly pulled out the vajra sword on its sheath.

The enemy fleet detected the fluctuations of Souta's energy. Their alarm kept ringing as Souta was moving closer to their position. It was frightening to see a creature possessed so much energy move closer to them.

"Fire everything!! Shoot him down!!"

They desperately tried to shoot Souta down but a simple cannon like that wouldn't work. It's a different matter if they were using a cannon from the Mechanic Country that was powered by a monster orb.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The people from the two ships couldn't do anything as they simply watched Souta handle the entire fleet. He was unbelievably strong and they couldn't even imagine that someone would possess this kind of strength.

"Sir Souta is too strong...!"

"We can't do anything except watch..."

"If we want to defeat the empire then Sir Souta is the key..."

They muttered to themselves with a stunned look on their face. No matter how much they saw it, Souta's strength was still unbelievable.

Bang! Bang!

"Just surrender yourself to me..."

Souta raised his hand and the ten black balls spun on top of it. A shockwave swept out in the whole place. After a few moments, every object and creature was being pulled towards the ten black balls.

Ohm!

The gravitational strength was too strong that it even pulled the ships that were flying in the mid-air. After all, the gravity that he created was a thousand times stronger than this world's gravity.

Everything was being pulled towards the ten black balls. Nothing would escape it.

Screams sounded as soldiers of the empire were being crushed into meat paste. Their ships exploded and were colliding repeatedly.

The intense gravity was tearing them apart. No one could survive this except if they had a tough B-rank shielder.

"It doesn't matter even if you knew that I'm going to attack this world. Everything is the same as it will fall under my command."

Souta muttered as he looked up where the gravity was grinding the fleet of the empire. The [Gravitational Ball] spell was a really really good spell. In the game, all it could do was push, pull, up, and down.

But here as long as he will it, he could control the gravity. His only limitation was his power level. That's just how powerful this tier 2 spell is. This spell should be a tier 3 spell.

Ohm!

Blood rained down as countless soldiers from the empire died just like that. A bunch of E-rank and D-rank could hope to fight a third evolution monster. Their number was too small they should've brought more people to exhaust him if they wanted to kill Souta.

"Hehe~ My guess is true..."

Souta laughed lightly. The world that Lydia was conquering wasn't aware of them yet this world was aware of Souta's presence. He was sure that no one leaked their information.

There's only one explanation for this. That man, the researcher, was still alive. He didn't know how or why but his hunch was telling him that he was right.
