The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak
Chapter 856 Arsen Kingdom

A piece of news traveled around the continent that made everyone turn pale. Esquin, the Ruler of Gluttony, descended with his real body and destroyed the Eru Empire. The six gods of the country put up a fight but they were eventually killed by him.

The casualties of the battle?

Almost everyone in the Eru Empire had died. Approximately seventy million people became the casualties of the battle. The only survivors of the Eru Empire were those experts who were stationed to guard the demon battlefield.

In other words, it was a total annihilation.

Everything was wiped out.

Various gods who heard this piece of news grew restless. The Ruler of Gluttony descended in this land and they knew that a big battle would break out soon. A battle that would shake the entirety of God's Continent.

The Ruler of Gluttony was going to force those gods to move. The cost of this was the countless lives of the mortals.

The whole continent felt the upcoming war of the gods.

No one could prevent it anymore.

Esquin has moved and destroyed a Large Country in just a single day. No one was prepared for this and everyone shall be drowned in the pit of destruction.

The entire Eru Empire was thoroughly cleaned up. Right now, it was still covered by a huge dome of darkness with countless crimson eyes within. This dome covered hundreds of thousands of kilometers and it reached the height of twenty thousand meters.

Outside forces didn't know what was happening inside. They only knew that the Ruler of Gluttony launched a fierce attack.

Esquin sat on the throne and dozens of people kneeled in front of him. These people were his subjects and they were willing to follow him until the end.

"This land is ours... It's cleaned up. The Eru Empire is as strong as the rumors said. Three of their gods could be considered elite. They surprised me with their strength." Esquin muttered as he rested his chin on the back of his palm.

He raised his hand and played with a small marble using his fingers. This was no ordinary marble, this one contained different worlds that were under the rule of the Eru Empire.

Esquin accidentally destroyed a few of them in the battle so this one was the only one he could save.

He raised the marble to his eye level and looked at it with interest.

"Looking at this, I couldn't help but remember something that occurred a few months ago."

That one undulation in the atmosphere felt like time and summoning was used strangely. It made him think that if Imperium was the same as this bubble and there was even a huge world out there. A world, a space, that could hold the presence of god.

If that was true then the situation would turn around.

Mortals didn't know about this but Imperium has the most dense and toughest concepts. They thought that this was everything in the world. Going to a sub-world or should he say the other planet was everything.

They didn't even know that it was filled with countless worlds.

Only gods knew that Imperium was called Mother.

Just like the marble in his hand, it contained several dimensions. These dimensions were called boundaries.

·ƈθm First was a particle world that also contained infinite space but it was too weak that even the normal people of Imperium couldn't enter it or else it would suffer destruction. The second one was called region which was by far stronger than particle world. It could house normal people of the Imperium. This region was just sitting in the so-called palace There were an infinite number of regions inside one palace. This was pretty decent since it could bear normal resources.

Above it was the so-called boundaries that were compressed in the marble in Esquin's hand. Then, there were outworlds that were above of the things that he mentioned. After that was something called beyond.

And above it, were the thirteen dimensions which were called empyrean. It could even rival Mother but there was no planet inside it that was comparable to Imperium.

"It's an interesting one, right?" Esquin smiled as he glanced at his people.

"My Lord, if that's true then what sort of being will exist in a world above Mother?" One of the people asked curiously.

"I don't know, if it's true then it will shake the entire Imperium." Esquin smiled as he opened his palm. "Well, I shall bring everyone here."

Boom!!

A huge amount of energy burst out of his body. The sky cracked and countless figures walked out of it. They were from the realm that he created in the past to hide his forces. Although none of them have reached god rank, there was still a huge number of Freedom Realm experts.

"A beyond couldn't contain a god so you guys couldn't achieve godhood. Right now, I've brought you here to Imperium so some of you will advance and some will fail." Esquin smiled as he looked at the arrival of the new people.

The army that he spent countless times cultivating has now descended into Imperium.

He turned his head and looked at the Eight Circle Officer, "I will send you to inform all the organizations under my name to start the plan. I will not allow any delay."

"I understand, My Lord." The Eight-Circle Officer bowed before he disappeared.

Esquin's expression turned serious. "Now is the right time. I will truly complete my goal, no matter what."

He knew that there were giant obstacles in his path that he needed to defeat. Those Holy Lands and Large Countries would be the biggest threat to him.

...

Souta and Eilish passed through the portals. They arrived in a huge pall with people dressed around them elegantly.

Souta stepped forward as he surveyed his surroundings. He looked down and saw a magic circle carved on the floor.

'Hmm... So there is a teleportation circle here. They just connected it to these coordinates and opened a portal. The resource needed to warp is lesser since we're from outer space.' He said inwardly after a careful observation.

Eilish glanced at her hands and muttered, "It's been a while... It felt like a heavy boulder was removed from my shoulders. I think I can do everything in this land."

Souta glanced at her and smiled, "The pressure of Imperium's atmosphere is gone. It's natural to feel that since the gravity and mana density is less than the Imperium."

"Are we on just another planet or dimension?" Eilish asked.

"Planet... We can arrive here if we fly through space but it would take us a lot of time. Going to another dimension needed us to break the space or any other related preparation." Souta answered.

The people in the hall stepped forward and bowed at Souta and Eilish.

"Greetings, the messenger of god."

They said respectfully. All of them have proper etiquette and elegant demeanor, giving Souta and Eilish the impression that they were nobles.

Souta glanced at him and asked, "Hmm... Can you brief me about this place and your identity?"

"I understand, your holiness." One of them answered politely. She was a woman dressed in a beautiful white dress and her blonde hair draped on her shoulder like a waterfall.

She explained that she was the first princess of the Arsen Kingdom. Beside her, a middle-aged man that looked like her was King Cerzes of the Arsen Kingdom. The old man on her left side was the pope of the church that worshipped Athena in this world.

All of them looked at the floor, not daring to look at Souta in the eyes. The aura that was coming from his body wasn't holy at all. It was like they were staring into endless darkness that could swallow them.

Of course, Souta noticed this problem. He just ate a legendary-grade fruit and his energy had increased so it was a little bit unstable. It would take a few days before he got used to his current power.

"Well, let's go," Souta said to them.

"I understand, please follow me," The princess said in a polite tone.

Souta and Eilish followed the princess while observing the entire palace with their energy. The defense of this place was nothing. It didn't even have any type of defensive runes.

Well, Astros didn't even have runes until he completed that quest related to Alexander, so he shouldn't have talked about this.

While walking, the princess was telling them the current state of the Arsen Kingdom. The Arsen Kingdom was a superpower in this continent. Their military might was one of the best and only a few could rival them.

'This brings back memories... Arsen Kingdom and there is another one in the north... I forgot its name but it's a country comparable to this one. Then, there's another one in the south that will wage war. What an interesting world.' Souta smiled in his mind. 'But my goal is in the Devil Sea here in this world... I need to make a detour and visit that place later.'
