The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-424

The mana density in Eidin Planet, Isabella's homeworld, was level 24. It was pretty high and it's the reason why the empire was so bent on taking this planet after they've discovered it. Even now, war was still ongoing in Eidin according to Alice.

Level 24 mana density. It was a treasure for the Great Astley Empire. Actually, with their technology, the empire could relocate its population to another planet but they didn't do so. Why? Well, it was because they valued their homeworld. They weren't comfortable to stay in another world. Yet, all this time they've only managed to increase the mana density level to level 7. Hundreds of years already had passed and their level didn't increase no matter what they do.

According to their calculation, it will take a few centuries before the mana density on their planet could reach level 10.

'Level 24... Yet, the density in Great World is thirty times higher than Eidin.' Souta chuckled inwardly. Still, the plan to increase a planet's mana density was absurd. Nobody would think about it except for the people of the empire.

Just how much did they love their homeworld?

"It's time-consuming. We should just abandon this world and went towards the empire." Franklin said as he leaned his back on his chair.

Souta was interested in Franklin's suggestion. This was the reason why he liked this type of person, they were straightforward. Head towards the empire to finish the problem was the most simple thing that he'd heard in this meeting. Such a normal answer and it fitted Souta's style.

Still, going towards the empire was easier to say.

"We should plan this first... Our strength isn't enough." Lydia said as she glanced at Franklin.

Torkez sighed and said, "I think that Franklin is right. We should focus our attention on the empire, not the subsidiary planet under their control. Lydia is right too we don't have enough forces to make it happen."

"I have something to say." Jamine slowly said as she looked at everyone. She was new so she was hesitating if she should join this important meeting or not.

Franklin, Torkez, Lydia, the dragon, and Souta turned their attention to her. Souta nodded his head at her as a sign that he gave her permission.

"Speak, little girl." The dragon said in monster language and his thoughts were passed through everyone in this room.

Jamine coughed and slowly said,

"Everyone has a point but personally I think that we should head towards the empire. The Astley Planet is too far and it will take a few jumps before we arrived there so we could simply gather allies at every stop.

"We will abandon this planet and head towards the empire. While doing that, we'll dispatch small elite teams that will go to other planets. The only plan is to spread our name or our leader's name. It will make a big impact as our leader already had horrifying feats under his name. We just need to spread it and let the people willingly join our cause.

"Of course, we'll contact those organizations on different planets that could help us. We will persuade them and have them realized that our army has the largest chance that could defeat the Great Astley Empire."

This was in her mind ever since she saw Souta's power. She wanted him or this army to become the symbol of hope that will take down the empire.

Souta gazed at her before he opened his mouth, "Hmm... Are you sure that this will work? If no one helped us then we're done as our current power couldn't handle the might of the empire."

"This could work," Torkez said as he turned to Souta. "We should simply spread our names and people will flock towards us if they've discovered that we had the power to fight against the empire. Naturally, if my people aren't gone then they will help us. We have you and several dragons in our army. Just by looking at our formation, those people would feel that we have a chance. And it's the truth."

"Fine, then we have to spread the information about the thirteen wardens, several generals, and commanders that died in our hands." Souta nodded and decided to do their plans. There's nothing wrong with their plan so why not give these people a peace of mind.

He closed his eyes and after a few moments he opened it, then he said, "Let's show our might to the empire one more time before we abandoned this world. Also, I want to get my hands in those Mana Convergent Bombs."

The meeting was concluded and they set their plan in motion. Everyone was prepared and their transportational gate was waiting to be used once they've annihilated some of the forces of the empire on this planet.

Just like that, the rebel army launched an all-out attack against the empire. The battle lasted for three days before they used the transportational gate and left the Prison World. Souta didn't manage to get his hand on a single Mana Convergent Bomb as the empire launched all of it causing a huge explosion that almost destroyed the whole continent.

It was devastating. Luckily, the rebel army used the transportational gate in time. A few ships of the rebel army separated because of the mission to spread their name and gather more allies.

The rebel army called themselves the Liberation White Army. Souta didn't even join them in picking a name for their army. He just let everyone decide the name of the army.

He was only doing this for his quest. And after he completed his quest, he will return to Imperium with his people and leave this matter to some capable people.

The army arrived on a planet called Lie. It was a planet under the rule of the empire. The moment that they've arrived in Lie Planet, the Liberation White Army quickly launched an attack on several bases of the empire's forces.

The empire sent reinforcement but they've found that the army was already gone. The name of the Liberation White Army spread and many planets heard of their achievements in fighting the empire. Especially the one who was called Souta. Souta became famous as he was the leader and the founder of the Liberation White Army. People called him The Strongest as no one could defeat him. Dozens of generals and commanders have already died at his hands.

No one could stop the Liberation White Army. They even declared that they will hear towards the Astley Planet to settle this problem in one go.

Souta built a team that will research the parasitic essence eater. He was curious about this lifeform. He wondered if this lifeform was within the bracket of a monster but he doubted it. In the game, Isabella had a parasitic essence eater in her body and she couldn't use best feram. If she could use best feram, then the parasite in her body must be a third evolution.

Torkez knew a lot of things about the parasitic essence eater as his group was the one to discovered it. He explained everything that he knew to Souta.

The battle shook the entire Planet Lie. It was shocking and devastating to see the empire launched several Mana Convergent Bomb like its nothing. This battle showed everyone that the Liberation White Army could handle the empire.

In their next stop, the Planet Green River, hundreds of thousands of people joined their banner and help them fought the empire. The Liberation White Army grew larger and the empire didn't have a way to stop them anymore. The power that they possessed was something that the empire couldn't ignore anymore. It could threaten them.

That's why the empire grew serious in taking down the Liberation White Army.

In the third stop, the Planet Red Pump, the empire send millions of troops to stop them. It became an all-out battle that shook every force that was watching in the dark. The scale of the battle was too large as it encompasses the whole land of the Planet Red Pump. The empire didn't even try to preserve their Mana Convergent Bomb. They kept launching it without care as they wanted to annihilate the people that dared to fight them.

Millions of people died in the battle on the Planet Red Pump.

The Liberation White Army became a huge organization that handled several planets that they took over from the grasp of the Great Astley Empire. Their famed spread out in different worlds and almost everyone knew them.

The Liberation Army was getting closer to their last stop, the Astley Planet. The homeworld of the Great Astley Empire.

Souta was sitting in his seat with his head resting on his palm. He glanced at Torkez and asked, "So what you do think about it?"

"I don't know. I've fought the empire for several decades and I haven't encountered a man who could switch bodies." Torkez shook his head. Souta just told him about the man that he encountered in a research lab where he rescued Jamine.

"I don't know it too. Even though I'm in the army and personally knew the higher-ups, I don't have any idea about a man who had the power to switch bodies." Lydia gave her opinion.

"Okay..." Souta nodded as he understood that no one knew about that man. It seems that he really needed to go to the empire to find out the truth. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Then, what about the group that I formed to find a research lab on every planet?"
