The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-411

Saya finished translating the text written on the stone tablet.

This door again. Souta already had an idea about what happened twenty thousand years ago. He concluded that the era twenty thousand years ago was powerful and there were many gods and monster lords.

But a great war occurred.

According to the legends, the forces of the Imperium fought the demon army. It was true but that's before the great war occurred. In truth, the opponents of Imperium were several times greater than the demon army.

Cluster knew about the great war. She told him that the combined forces of gods, monster lords, spirit gods, and demon god were fighting something beyond this universe.

The invaders. He already guessed that these invaders came from beyond the door. The door must be some sort of transportational gate, dimensional hole, or teleportation gate that leads to another universe.

The great war must be the reason why the seven continents of Imperium were divided by great barriers.

"I need to investigate more about it," Souta muttered while rubbing his chin.

'Souta, looked at the back of the stone tablet.' Saya said to him.

"Why?" Souta asked as he moved around and followed Saya's instruction.

'Here... As I thought...'

There were no words written on the back of the stone tablet but there were circles all over it and a palm print on it.

"This is... A legacy..." Souta muttered in shock. He couldn't believe what he was seeing right now. A god's legacy was out here without even forming a living labyrinth.

'Yes, that's a god's legacy. This god must be pretty desperate. He just left this legacy here without trying to test any people who come after it.' Saya paused for a moment before she added, 'But no one could get the god's legacy. It's understandable as people from this world didn't even know what's a god's legacy so how could they acquire it.'

"Should I try it?"

'Yes, why wouldn't you want a god's legacy? A legacy of a god depends on the god. It depends on them what they were going to leave for the next generation. It could be an ability, knowledge, or resources. Everything depends on the god.'

"I see... Well, let's try it." Souta nodded his head and he couldn't help but feel excited. This was a god's legacy that he didn't know in the game so what sort of this he would acquire in this legacy.

'On the top of the stone tablet, there's a phrase. Try saying it while placing your palm on the palm print and pour your energy in it.' Saya instructed him.

Souta followed her instruction as he placed his palm on the handprint and said the phrase, "Hunt under the moon, hunt under the sun, all creatures are prey."

Nothing happened after a few moments.

He wondered what's wrong as he followed his instruction. He even poured his best feram on it.

"Let me try it again..."

Souta did the ritual several times but nothing happened.

What the hell is wrong with this legacy? Maybe, someone got it before him but that's impossible. Saya said that she could still feel the energy inside the stone tablet.

'A restriction...' Saya said.

"Fuck! How come there's a restriction?! That god didn't even create a living labyrinth as he didn't want to test anyone but he still placed restrictions in his legacy!!" Souta cursed loudly.

He couldn't fill the requirements to get the god's legacy. He lacks something but what's he's lacking?

Isabella tilted her head and thought, 'Souta is talking to himself again.' She didn't understand what he was doing but she knew that he was angry.

Souta tried it again several times before he gave up. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get the god's legacy this time. He was wondering how he could fill the requirements to get this legacy.

This god's legacy was tricky. Other god's legacy would just require to clear the living labyrinth and yet this one didn't have a living labyrinth. He just needed to follow the instruction yet why it doesn't work.

There must be something wrong with this god's head.

'Let Isabella try it...' Saya suggested to him.

He glanced at Isabella and nodded. There's no harm if he would let Isabella try it. There's no way that he could leave a precious god's legacy in this place. He should try all possible solutions.

"Isabella, come here. I want you to do something for me." Souta said as he motioned Isabella to stand beside him.

"O-Okay." Isabella walked beside Souta with a curious expression. She was why he was agitated.

"I will tell you that this is a god's legacy..." Souta explained to her what's a god's legacy and how she could acquire it.

Isabella was shocked when she heard his explanation. She heard before from Souta that god was real but she didn't expect that a legacy of a real god was in front of her eyes.

Travksy, a real god from Souta's homeworld. He was the god of this world, the god of hunt. To think that she would get to see the legacy of the god of Greia.

It took her a few minutes before she calmed down. The information that she received was too much for people who didn't know that god is real.

Isabella took a deep breath and nodded her head. She placed her palm on the palmprint and slowly poured her mana. Then, she said the phrase, "Hunt under the moon, hunt under the sun, all creatures are prey."

Souta gulped as he nervously stared at the stone tablet. 'Is it going to work?' was in his mind.

After a few moments, a white light erupted and it shrouded everything. Souta couldn't help but close his eyes as the light was blinding.

It works!!

Souta opened his eyes and found that he was in black space. He narrowed his eyes and he examined his surrounding. He saw Isabella standing on his right side and there's another figure on his left side.

The figure was humanoid and it has a pair of sharp horns on its head but it didn't have any eyes, nose, or mouth. Everything about the figure was pure red.

This was Saya. He already saw this form in her inner consciousness so he wasn't surprised. But Isabella hasn't seen her before so she was shaken.

Souta looked at her and said, "Isabella, I'll explain it to you later. For now, don't ask questions. I'll answer everything later."

Isabella nodded her head. She understood him and knew that Souta would explain to her everything later.

"Still, if you're here Saya then we must be inside the god's inner consciousness," Souta muttered while looking around.

"Yeah, you're right. An inner consciousness." Saya nodded her head.

Ohm!

A figure appeared in front of them. The was none other than the god of hunt, Travksy.

His gaze landed on Isabella and said, "So you're the one who will receive my legacy. The legacy of the god of hunt. There are several god of hunt in Imperium but I'm one of the top gods out there."

"Um..." Isabella didn't know what to say. A god was talking to her so she didn't know to reply. She was also afraid of offending a god.

Travksy continued, "I left my consciousness here to wait for my successor. I will disappear soon since you've activated it."

"Wait a moment... I'm going to ask why didn't I managed to activate it." Souta said from the side. He didn't care if this one was a god or not. He just wanted to know the answer.

"Hmm... A blood goblin and a member of vajra race. What a unique pair..." Travksy paused for a moment before he continued, "Well, the answer to your question is the tablet didn't recognize your energy. A blood goblin is a third evolution monster so your energy is best feram. You don't have mana and that's the reason why you couldn't activate the stone tablet."

He was a god so he instantly recognized Souta and Saya's race with one glance.

"Isn't best feram a higher form of energy so why it didn't activate?" Souta narrowed his eyes.

"You're right but I placed mana, not energy. If I placed energy then the stone tablet will activate using any form of energy be it spirit energy, best feram, or mana but I placed mana so only mana could activate it." Travksy said. "If you diluted your energy then you would be able to use mana and activate it but I guess that it's too much for a third evolution monster like you. Even monster lord could hardly do it."

Souta was stunned. He could dilute his best feram and turned it into mana. But now that he thought about it it's not that surprising. Mana, best feram, and spirit energy were connected to each other. Mana was like a base form and best feram and spirit energy were both the evolution of mana.

"Do you know that humans and demis training method are all based on monsters and spirits? Condensing mana to match best feram and spirit energy. Liquefying and solidifying the mana. According to some gods, best feram and spirit energy is the densest energy that's why by simply releasing it, it could bring pressure to every people in the area. They said that if a person managed to compress and condense their mana a thousand times, that person would get either best feram and spirit energy..." Travksy paused as he seemed to remember something. "No, it's not a theory anymore. Someone proved that it's true in the past, the strongest god in the whole universe."
