arcane emperor

It was a protracted war!

It lasted for hundreds of years!

The uncompromising ordinary goblins showed perseverance and determination that amazed Matthew.

They are the goblins who have been fighting in the mechanical plane for thousands of years.

No matter he faced the massacre of his compatriots or the siege from the gods and other forces, he never flinched at all!
They manipulated Titan machinery, controlled war puppets, used various musket weapons, and killed all kinds of opponents and enemies.

They are united, not afraid of sacrifice, and fight bravely.

They even defeated the coalition of gods and won in battle after battle.

Their strong strength, tenacious will, and unshakable determination make many enemies feel fear and fear.

Even the gods fear the power these dwarfs wield.

As a result, the gods who claimed to be omnipotent also began to play dirty tricks.

They target the areas where ordinary goblins live and release various disasters.

Ordinary wind disasters, floods, droughts, and earthquakes may not cause a devastating blow to the goblins.

However, it will greatly weaken the number of ordinary goblin infrastructure, destroy their living and development environment, and weaken their potential for population growth.

On this basis, these gods also unleashed even more terrible disasters.

Disease, plague, deception, aberration, distortion!
From birth to adulthood, ordinary goblins encounter more and more dangers, and the number of premature deaths is also rising crazily.

It has to be said that these gods have chosen good "opponents" and "targets".

The ordinary goblin forces, lacking enough active power and super fast combat units, inevitably weakened.

Even so, they still persisted long enough.

Until even the gods felt helpless!

So, the gods made a decision!
Let the goblins handle it themselves!

This time, the gods prepared a better gift for the goblin rulers.

Become a bugbear with longer lifespan and stronger fighting ability!

And, give bugbear rulers a path to becoming gods.

A longer lifespan allows bugbears to inherit and learn more mechanical techniques.

Better wisdom allows them to better kill their former compatriots.

The bugbear rulers responded very simply.

The cities of ordinary goblins were completely cleaned up and destroyed, as well as all the knowledge and technology they had mastered.

Sure enough, it’s still up to one of our own people to do it!

Seeing Matthew here, I feel like I am wandering in the long river of time and experiencing history.

Matthew originally thought that the gods and major forces worked together to destroy the entire goblin civilization and eliminate most of the goblin knowledge and technology.

Unexpectedly, Matthew only guessed 1/3 correctly, and the remaining main force turned out to be the Goblin Empire itself.

Naturally, the young goblin empire did not understand the terrible disadvantages of a crazy population reduction!
As the population base decreases, the probability of producing top talents will decrease exponentially.

Without enough manpower, the Goblin Empire's control over the entire territory will also decrease considerably.

However, Matthew saw the caution and prudence of the gods, and also saw the "humbleness" of these guys.

Facing the greatly weakened Goblin Empire, they still did not dare to take action, but continued to increase the bait.

They told the bugbear rulers how to become true gods step by step.

"Since we can't defeat you, let's let you join us!"

With the help of these gods, the Dinosaur Island Research Institute, which was already at a standstill, quickly got on the fast track.

At this time, various gods were not stingy with their technology and knowledge, and even sent core members to assist.

The reason why Matthew knows so clearly is because these soul memories were contributed by these guys.

They were also abandoned by their respective gods and became tools used to dismantle the goblin empire.

The gods paid such a heavy price, and naturally they soon reaped the rewards.

The bugbear rulers, whose strength had been greatly improved, soon had legendary level strength.

Moreover, they have been able to move towards the level of demigods and even gods.

In this process, the manpower arranged by the gods gradually caused trouble among the bugbear rulers at the expense of themselves.

After all, the Goblin Empire has huge mechanical resources, various minerals and metal supplies.

But when it comes to corresponding magical creations such as improving their strength and increasing their lifespan, they can only produce a small part of them themselves.

Most of these resources come from transactions with gods and other forces.

In this case, the contradictions and conflicts arising from the competition for such resources naturally became their tool to divide the bugbear rulers.

The bugbear rulers realized something was wrong and wanted to control spellcasting abilities, potion manufacturing, alchemy technology, and golem production technology in their own hands.

Unfortunately, it's too late!
Only then did they realize that the Goblin Empire, which lacked a large enough population, could no longer quickly cultivate the various talents they needed.

What makes them even more uneasy is that the stronger hobgoblins and bugbears do have longer lifespans.

But for mastering abilities such as spellcasting, it doesn't help at all, but has some restrictions.

The bugbear rulers realized something was wrong, but they had nothing to do with the gods and other forces.

After hundreds of years of civil war, the Goblin Empire was already struggling to maintain itself.

Under such circumstances, the bugbear rulers were rare and generous, providing more opportunities for transformation and strengthening to the remaining ordinary goblin elites.

Then, they endured while slowly waiting for their population and potential to recover.

But these reactions of the bugbear rulers naturally fell into the eyes of the gods and other forces.

They have some in-depth understanding of the Goblin Empire and have mastered some relatively basic mechanical production technologies.

On the contrary, it is more understandable that although the Goblin Empire is much weaker now, it still has a very strong combat power.

In hundreds of years of war, the gods who suffered heavy losses could not command other kingdoms and forces that also suffered heavy losses, and blatantly attacked the remaining goblin kingdoms.

If the bright ones cannot come, then the dark ones can only come!
The gods, who had lived for who knows how long, were plotting and plotting, and the Goblin Empire, which was already deeply involved with them, was naturally unable to hold on.

The bugbear rulers soon discovered.

Rebellions of all kinds are becoming more and more numerous.

The living environment and quality of goblin civilians are rapidly declining.

Policies that allowed the goblin empire to recuperate.

Either it ends without a cure, or it turns sour in the process of being decentralized one level at a time and becomes a poison for their exploitation.

Gradually, the people's grievances grew, and the power and ambition of middle- and lower-level rulers and managers also continued to grow.

However, in order to gain more lifespan, the bugbear rulers continued to advance the progress of the experiment and could not spare much time and energy.

They have eaten too much bait, invested too much energy, paid too much cost and price, and can never look back.

Otherwise, everything before will be meaningless.

The bugbear rulers, dragged down by huge sunk costs, watched helplessly as the entire empire fell into decline and declined rapidly.

All their rescue measures have been unable to produce much effect.

In this case, the very decisive bugbear rulers showed indescribable "wisdom".

They did something again, which made the gods feel helpless to fight back.

Cooperate with many surrounding forces and hand over all the technology and part of the Goblin Empire's territory to them.

These include barbarians, barbarians, humans, and dwarves.

The Goblin Empire used their large numbers and not too big ambitions to complete a resource harvest that lasted for tens or hundreds of years.

In a very short period of time, they harvested a large amount of resources and invested them in maintaining the rule of the Goblin Empire.

Invisibly, these young races passed through the initial difficulties and got rid of the dilemma of having nothing.

The desperate bugbear rulers invested almost most of their resources into Dinosaur Island and the surrounding experimental areas.

Even the gods and even other kingdoms and forces launched raids on the demiplane occupied by the Goblin Empire, trying to seize territory or distract their energy.

The rulers of the Goblin Empire, who had made up their minds, did not waver in the slightest.

According to the memories and information Matthew obtained, the "encounter" in the mechanical plane was caused by the helpless abandonment of the Goblin Empire at that time.

Matthew can also think more clearly, in front of an empire with a complete system, strict organization, powerful force, and positive attitude.

Existences at the level of ancient evil objects may cause trouble and disaster, but they can never be allowed to perish.

What really brought the Goblin Empire to its complete decline was the "poison bait" from the gods and the "split" created by it.

Especially the latter!
Castles are often conquered from the inside!
Faced with the desperate move of the bugbear ruling class, Matthew, who fully understood the outcome, smashed his tongue in surprise and said:
"Giving up a better future, we chose a path that was destined to be dangerous and full of losers."

When Matthew was feeling so emotional, he thought back to the various situations that the Bay Territory dealt with.

Thinking back to those traitors and idiots, Matthew couldn't help but smack his lips:

"Sure enough, you don't have to worry about old skills, as long as they are useful enough."

"There are always some idiots who will take the bait and would rather believe the enemy's deceptive words..."

"The renovation plan must continue to advance, and the corresponding escape route must be clearly laid out."

"The gods now want to take the lead. This is also the reason why major churches will gradually appear in the subsequent plot."

"Some natural disasters are caused by the Cole Elf Kingdom, and they are also caused by the hands and feet of the gods..."

"Create disasters, hold rituals, plunder souls, and spread faith. Not many kingdoms can withstand this silky combo..."

The series of blows suffered by the Goblin Empire are actually using the power of one country to fight against the gods and the kingdoms and forces they control.

Judging from the map of the northern continent, there are many more kingdoms and forces that have become obviously stronger around the Goblin Empire, which originally occupied 70%.

These are things that the bugbear rulers have released one after another due to civil war and lack of time to care or trade.

Now, the gods have agents in the material plane, and they basically obey their will.

The gods don't have to take action themselves.

They freely command the cannon fodder to start fighting, constantly causing all kinds of troubles to the Goblin Empire.

With constant blood loss, technological development has stagnated, and inheritance has become difficult.

Even the Titan Legion of the Goblin Empire cannot continue to operate due to lack of enough engineers. The situation had deteriorated to this point, and the bugbear rulers finally realized the fatal danger.

Once there is a problem with the Goblin Empire's strongest Titan legion and war machinery, it will no longer be able to deter the gods.

As a result, the bugbear rulers became more militaristic.

Invest all resources and manpower only in military and transformation research.

The former barely managed to survive, and its situation became increasingly difficult. It became a real gold-swallowing behemoth, lying on the bodies of the vast number of goblin civilians to suck blood.

Not to mention the latter.

The transformation of the body and bloodline can never be separated from "experimental subjects" and sacrifice.

With the bugbears' bodies and talents, even if they barely mastered some spell-casting abilities, they would never be able to use time retrieval to make precise adjustments and save lives like Matthew and Yaya.

However, as the difficulty of the experiment advances, the experimental bodies required will become stronger and stronger, and more and more will be required.

Every advance means at least dozens of failures.

Every failure means the death of many bugbear elites.

Not only the surrounding forces are bleeding the Goblin Empire.

The interior of the Goblin Empire is gradually becoming distorted.

The Goblin Empire, which was barely holding on, could no longer hold on.

However, after paying such a huge price, the bugbear rulers finally got the rewards they wanted.

They gradually broke through the legend and became demigods. They also mastered divine power and divinity by killing evil objects and ancient evil objects.

Soon, the bugbear rulers regained their power, and the crumbling goblin empire was restored.

This time, the bugbear rulers showed great patience.

Prepare to completely stabilize the entire goblin empire, thrive and cultivate enough talents.

They rebuilt their massive Titan army.

Let a large number of ordinary goblins gradually become hobgoblins and bugbears.

They want to make the Goblin Empire strong again and dominate the entire northern continent again!
This is what the last few Bugbear demigods who survived from the heyday of the Goblin Empire want to do.

However, they want to do it.

There are more beings out there, and I don’t want them to do this!

The gods, who understood how difficult these Bugbear demigods were, were naturally unwilling to face the Goblin Empire, which no longer had any shortcomings.

And the gods also knew that the goblin empire was at its weakest.

Thus, a tragic battle of destruction began.

Matthew naturally wants to obtain more information and knowledge from his memory, and learn more stories submerged in the long river of history.

However, what appeared in front of Matthew was a "blank" with no memory of that period!
Matthew understands this situation, which means that all of the "memories" he comes into contact with are experiences of being face-to-face with the gods.

The dots of remnant souls and phantoms cannot withstand that terrible pressure.

Even just a back view or a name that carries power can make them unable to remember it.

Although Matthew failed to gain the memory of this unprecedented battle, he still gained a lot.

He recalled that the gods worked together and spent hundreds of years using various dark methods to deal with a powerful empire.

I have become more wary of its various methods, and have more conjectures about the many plots and "natural disasters" in my memory.

"Wouldn't this situation happen again in the future?"

"The gods show their power, hold various rituals, create more believers, and plunder more souls..."

"The strange thing is that the goblin empire has disappeared, which proves that the gods should all be victors."

"Then where did they go?"

"Could it be that the goblin empire's desperate fight also severely damaged their vitality?"

"You want them to remain dormant for thousands of years and wait until now to recover?"

"It seems that after the second elemental tide broke out, these guys didn't even bother to cover up..."

"By then, the Gulf Territory will at least have the ability to scare the gods!"

Using history as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs!

After reconfirming the threats and opponents for the future development of the territory.

Matthew did feel some pressure, but he also had more motivation.

During the period when the gods could not take action themselves, they could only let their agents take action.

This is a great opportunity for the Gulf Territory to develop!
Matthew, who had become more determined, continued to sort out his memories of the Dinosaur Island area.

Matthew had already vaguely felt that the gradually recovering Life Furnace was about to take complete control.

The time left for him to "exercise" no longer allowed him to observe carefully.

Matthew carefully observed the experimental progress and pictures on Dinosaur Island, and discovered the figures of two bugbear demigods.

They took complete control of this area and brought here the last legacy and elites of the Goblin Empire.

They plunder all kinds of creatures at all costs and throw them into the huge soul furnace.

The soul furnace is in operation, constantly devouring the power of flesh, flesh and soul.

This kind of power cannot be absorbed directly, otherwise even gods will fall into complete madness.

Most of the power was turned into a part of the terrifying and twisted ritual.

These forces are uncontrollable and extremely crazy.

Just at this time, the siege of the gods came.

The last armed force of the Goblin Empire is making a desperate resistance outside.

After they die, they will also be absorbed by the Forge of Life and become part of its power.

The vast majority of bugbear elites even voluntarily jumped into the furnace of life.

They also want to join this force and assist the two demigods in controlling and guiding it.

This terrible ritual continuously draws out the power source of the Storm Dragon King and the Storm God, turning it into the power of the two Bearland spirits.

A considerable part of the power is used to create new bodies of the goblin souls.

The goblins' new bodies will have powerful qualifications and talents, and will have longer lifespans.

They will have no weaknesses!
They are dinosaurs!
Only a very small part of these powers will become the power accumulated by these two bugbear demigods, preserving their cautious thinking and will.

However, the power of ordinary creatures is far from enough for them to break through the shackles of demigods.

As a result, the bugbear demigods had no way out and were in a semi-crazy state.

It also swallowed up the remains of the Storm Dragon King and Storm God that maintained the operation of this area.

They succeeded!
Breaking through the shackles of demigods and becoming a true god!
However, they also failed!
The consciousness of the God of Storms came out to seize the fruits of victory when they lit the divine fire, took control of the priesthood, and ascended to the throne of God.

Matthew did not "see" the complete fragment, but accidentally became aware of this "process" through digital display and the power of fate.

The subsequent memory has completely disappeared.

The last image left to Matthew was that of a bear spirit falling into madness.

An uncontrollable thunder of terror and destruction erupted from his body.

He rushed out of the furnace of life and forcibly destroyed most of the experimental area that had stopped operating.

When the gods sank the last strength of the Goblin Empire around Dinosaur Island to the bottom of the sea.

The earth spirits fell into a state of madness and fought an angry battle with them!
Matthew didn't know the outcome of the war.

However, it seems now that the gods are indeed the final victors.

At this point, the once glorious Goblin Empire was completely destroyed.

Matthew looked at the gradually disappearing red shadow, gently rubbed the center of his brow, and manipulated the soul flame to burn its impurities into nothingness.

The distorted face that had completely recovered its consciousness stared wide-eyed, and let out a sharp and shrill roar:

"Magrubiye!!! You liar!"

"You betrayed the Empire!"

Magrubier?
"It seems that the being who became the god of goblins is Magrubier?"

Matthew looked at the twisted face and the cracked furnace of life, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"The remnant soul of the demigod, the remnant soul of civilization, Avado Blackso,???"

"Hesou? Good guy!"

"Is the one in the mechanical plane a part of Him?"

"The Goblin God betrayed the Goblin Empire?"

"Why does this sound ridiculous?"

"Is this the price of becoming a god?"

Matthew licked his lips, feeling that many important memories in his mind had gone silent, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Sure enough, the secret hidden under Dinosaur Island really gave him a big surprise.

The path to becoming a god!
godhead!

Divine fire!

Priesthood!

Only in this way can you ascend to the throne of God!

Click!Click!Click!
The small gaps continued to expand, and dark stones fell from the gaps in the furnace of life.

Matthew blinked slightly and looked at Heisuo's twisted face, shattering into pieces in the gradual madness, with no intention of helping.

The reason is very simple. Combining this thing with Black Cord, it is indeed possible to make it complete, allowing the Gulf Territory to have many knowledge and abilities at the demigod level.

However, Matthew doesn't want to cooperate with such "scum".

It doesn't deserve it! (End of chapter)
