The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-1019

Souta and everyone else felt as if there was a sword hanging over their necks. They couldn't do anything except watch the figure in the sky.

Souta crouched down, placing his palms on Eilish and Alice's backs. He channeled his energy, but it wasn't very effective. Sanaamon was quite different from Carmilla and Julius, whom he had met back in the Desolate Woods. Those two commandments had been suppressing their aura and energy to avoid detection.

"The Purity... He's here!" La Befana stared at the sky in shock.

The rest of the Third Night Squad members had fainted due to the intense pressure.

"He's going to end everything... He ended our Great Matriarch, and now he wants to finish what he started back then," La Befana muttered to herself as she recalled the tragedy that had happened hundreds of years ago.

Dozens of kilometers away, near the collapsed Dream Palace...

Layla gritted her teeth as she tried to endure the pressure. She looked up and recognized the man standing in the air.

'The Purity... To think he would move even though the Walpurgis Night is already over! Don't tell me, he wants to finish it with his own hands!' she thought to herself. She looked left and right, trying to find a way out of this insane situation.

The appearance of Purity's real body was completely unexpected.

She wondered what Grim was doing in this situation. She knew he had a separate mission in this expedition.

Meanwhile, Grim also had a horrified expression on his face.

'The situation right now is extremely dangerous. The Selfless didn't even appear when I destroyed her avatar, yet Purity...' Grim tightly clenched both of his fists. Not even the [Spatial Gem] could save him if Purity launched an attack.

'Our plan isn't even complete yet. Do I need to awaken the Primordial Gods faster than planned?' he thought inwardly.

On the other side, Poisonous Vine was near the barrier.

"Oh shit! I'm going to die! A god has appeared!" she cursed under her breath.

She had just managed to survive against the elder of the witches, yet now a god had appeared, which was completely out of her league.

Poisonous Vine turned her head to the cracks in the barrier.

'I need to get out now...'

She forced herself to move her body under the heavy pressure.

'I need to leave to tell the tale of this encounter.'

The survivors with low strength started to collapse one by one. They were dropping like flies as they attempted to escape through the cracks in the barrier.

Souta had a grim look as he gazed at Alice and Eilish. He covered them with his webs, along with Eilan, then created a barrier to protect them from the pressure.

He looked at the card in his system, wondering if he could save them by using it. The chances seemed too low.

Whoosh!!

Sanaamon simply stood in the air, not bothering to hide his energy. There was no need, as this wasn't a secret mission.

He admired the broken barrier and said, "This barrier had no defenses at all. It existed to block perception so that no one would be able to sense it."

The barrier had prevented him from finding the Walpurgis Night and even stopped him from pinpointing the location of his avatar.

It was magnificent.

"The barrier formation created by the Isolated Formation God is truly one of the best," he muttered.

For him, something that could block the perception of someone of his caliber was certainly remarkable. The Isolated Formation God was indeed one of the best in this field. Unfortunately, he perished due to not knowing his boundaries.

If given some time, Sanaamon wanted to study this kind of barrier formation so that he could bypass it next time.

Sanaamon moved his hand and slowly closed his fist. He turned his head and raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, someone has arrived," he said.

The next moment, the space vibrated and a large fissure appeared in the sky.

Boom!!

A deafening sound reverberated as a figure emerged from the fissure. It was a beautiful woman armed with a sword. She had chestnut-colored hair that draped down over her shoulders, and her eyes were like a pair of beautiful stars.

She was the Goddess Athena.

Two god-rank beings now hovered above the land. The mortals below were like ants under

their presence.

"What are you here for?" Sanaamon asked.

"I'm here to stop you," Athena said.

"Do you think you can do it alone?" Sanaamon paused, then looked down and realized something. "Oh, you're the one who protects that monster. The demigod that sliced the Walpurgis Night is your subordinate. I see... I see..."

Athena didn't say anything. She just observed every movement that Sanaamon made.

"You're trying to train some crazy monster here. He has the [Douion] similar to the Sea King, and his physique is quite unique-perfect for the dark attribute," Sanaamon paused for a moment before adding, "[Cosmic Body], suitable for gaining the power of the cosmic authority."

He lifted his head and looked straight at Athena, saying, "Perhaps you are hiding the cosmic authority with you? Are you planning on giving him the cosmic authority in the future?"

"Cosmic authority? Do you really think I have that? The fight against that guy resulted in nothing," Athena said.

Souta only had the [Cosmic Body]; he didn't possess the cosmic authority. Having the [Cosmic Body] only gave him a chance to acquire the power of the cosmic authority. It didn't mean that Souta already possessed it.

Only people with the [Cosmic Body] could acquire the cosmic authority, so without it, the cosmic authority was useless as no one would be able to wield its power.

"Well, it doesn't matter to me," Sanaamon said as he raised his hand. A huge amount of

energy gathered in his fist.

Before turning his attention elsewhere, he intended to destroy the Walpurgis Night

completely.

In the next second, he smashed his fist downward.

Athena's eyes widened as she quickly pressed both of her hands together.

A huge amount of energy erupted from both gods.

Souta, Alice, La Befana, Grim, and the rest of the survivors looked up as a bright light shone

above the sky.

Boom!!

In an instant, the entire Walpurgis Night was obliterated, leaving nothing behind. A powerful wave of energy swept out, pushing the other lands in the Dream Realm away.

The entire space was cleared.

The only thing that remained was the violent waves of energy.

Sanaamon looked down, then turned his gaze to Athena and said, "So that's what you're after... I thought you also had an interest in the things hidden in the Walpurgis Night."

Athena knitted her brows and asked, "Why did you destroy the Walpurgis Night?"

"There's no need for you to know. Some things are better left buried in the dark. Well, anyway, you did a great job saving them." Sanaamon felt amused.

Yes, Athena had saved all the living beings in the Walpurgis Night. Those who were still alive before Sanaamon's attack landed were transported back to reality. They were returned to the place where they had entered the Dream Realm.

"I don't care about the mortals. I just want to destroy anything related to the calamity," Sanaamon declared. He took a step forward, energy gathering around both of his fists. Athena raised her sword, prepared to fight back against a god of this magnitude.

Boom!!

Suddenly, the entire Dream Realm trembled. Both Athena and Sanaamon paused, turning

their heads.

They could sense something changing in reality, and its effects were even felt in the Dream

Realm.

"This is...?" Athena muttered.

"The last outburst of Imperium," Sanaamon's expression turned serious. He then laughed and said, "Isn't this interesting? The last outburst is here!"

Imperium sensed a significant change as the final outburst finally occurred. Clouds of dense

mana gathered in the sky, and heavy rain poured down.

Countless people looked up at the sky, experiencing the profound change.

In the throne room of the Eru Empire...

Esquin opened his eyes and gazed upwards, his vision piercing through the thick walls and

barriers.

"It's here..."

A smile spread across his face as he rose from the throne.

"It's time to escalate this war," he declared.

He strode out of the room. The stage was set, and it was time for him to fulfill his role. Many

gods observed the movements of the Eru Empire closely. The intensity of the war grew with each passing second, affecting numerous small countries and cities.

The death of the Cult Leader had also brought more experts to the battlefield. The situation

across the three theaters looked dire, with even Hero-ranks joining the fray.

In the Demon's Land, at the Heavenly Demon Palace... Lucifer furrowed his brows as he stared at the clouds of mana in the sky.

"The great change is upon us. Inform our forces in the other continents to halt their advance

until further notice. We should observe how the other gods react to this situation," he

instructed his subordinates.

The demon standing below the throne nodded and bowed to him.

Across the Imperium, various gods couldn't help but gaze at the sky. Dark clouds, dense with

mana, blanketed the land with their energy.

In the Holy Lands, large countries, and other factions, a sense of foreboding spread. It seemed that something significant was about to occur in the near future.
