Haven't gone up yet.
Celeste sensed Lin Tian and immediately rushed down, "Finally here, Your Majesty Goblin, where have you been these five months!"
Her anxious face was full of longing!
Even like an addict having withdrawal symptoms.
Lin Tian sighed deeply, if only this desire was for himself, but unfortunately, he knew very well what she was longing for.
However, he asked with some confusion, "Ah? Didn't anyone come to notify you?"
"No, let's go up first."
Celeste said excitedly.
Lin Tian slapped his forehead, it seemed like he really had been negligent, forgetting to specifically instruct his subordinates to tell her.
He had only told Alice and the others.
This was his fault.
Then entering the office, Lin Tian said apologetically, "I'll immediately buy you all the picture books currently circulating in the market as compensation, how about that?"
"Snap!"
Celeste, who was pouring water, froze completely, the water cup fell to the ground and shattered.
"Really, really? This... this... how can this be!"
Celeste said with extreme excitement, firmly grasping Lin Tian, her eyes full of excitement!
Seeing this scene.
Lin Tian even felt somewhat guilty, admitting it was he who had corrupted Celeste.
He never expected it would develop like this.
The addiction was too strong.
Looking carefully, he noticed she had dark circles under her eyes, sunken cheekbones, and looked very haggard overall.
Five months, no restraint at all, even demons couldn't withstand such abuse.
Helplessly.
Lin Tian still brought up the main business first, "Before that, I want to ask you to notify Lord Lucifer, see if he can come up and discuss with me about confronting the angels, so I can prepare accordingly."
Since it was an alliance.
They needed to understand the demons' combat strength to make proper arrangements.
But at this moment.
Celeste was still smiling foolishly, immersed in the joy of soon obtaining all the picture books circulating in the market.
She hardly seemed like an existence with combat power second only to a demon god.
"Um... Lord Celeste?"
Lin Tian waved his hand in front of her, while checking her attributes.
Still about the same as before, no significant changes.
He couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness? Haven't you inherited Beelzebub's divine position?"
Still no response.
Looking at this state, Lin Tian was wondering if his actions had really harmed her.
After a long time, she finally came to her senses, "Divine position? My father said to wait a bit longer before deciding."
In Lucifer's view, the gap between a false god's divine position and a true god's divine position was too great.
If they could kill Gabriel, Michael, or even Adam, Eve, and Jehovah.
Then so many other divine positions would become available, and then they could give one to Celeste.
"I see, then about inviting Lord Lucifer up?"
Lin Tian ignored the rest and continued asking.
Celeste nodded quickly, "That's no problem, I was being inappropriate earlier..."
Saying this, she directly tore open a hell rift and jumped in.
Thinking of her foolish smile just now made her feel embarrassed, too ashamed to stay.
But thinking of soon obtaining all the picture books, she couldn't help but smile secretly.
More than an hour later.
A scorching lava heat came from beside them.
The gates of hell suddenly appeared.
What stepped out was a pair of proper trouser legs, it was Lucifer.
His leather shoes were polished to a shine, his white suit and slicked-back hair looked particularly spirited.
The first thing he did upon coming out was to adjust his clothes, very dignified.
An indescribable composed attitude naturally arose.
When he saw Lin Tian, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Long time no see, Your Majesty Goblin, is it finally time for the hunt?"
Saying this, Lucifer's originally calm expression suddenly showed slight surprise, "You... seem to have changed? Although it's been five months, this change is somewhat unbelievable."
Celeste, who appeared following behind, also had a complex expression.
She rarely saw Lucifer actually feel surprised.
Even when Beelzebub died, he seemed very calm.
"Do I?"
Lin Tian shrugged, facing Lucifer he also had more composure.
After all, he now had confidence.
And moreover...
His level had reached level 300!!!
His combat power reached 29,000, close to 30,000!
He knew in his heart that he definitely couldn't beat Lucifer who had over 40,000.
Soon.
Lucifer regained his calm and even had a somewhat playful smile, "Forget it, let's talk about going to war with the angels."
"Mm, I just want to understand the combat strength of your demon side."
Lin Tian said calmly.
But Lucifer asked back, "Show me the combat strength of your goblin side first. The number of ordinary angels is also close to 100,000. If we don't suppress them with ordinary forces, we'll definitely lose."
Hearing this.
A flash of dissatisfaction crossed Lin Tian's face, this guy wanted to take the initiative.
Then he could direct and arrange the battle strategy.
That way he would definitely assign the most dangerous cannon fodder work to himself.
"My forces haven't started production yet, I need to first combine with the demon side's combat strength to make arrangements."
Lin Tian entangled and pulled.
For a moment.
Lucifer looked at him with surprise, thinking: This goblin is actually so cunning?
Having said this much, he could only say, "Alright then."
"Among our demon clan, there are about fifty high-ranking demons, one thousand mid-ranking demons, fifty thousand low-ranking demons, one hundred million mindless demons. As for the specific strength of each level of demon, I don't think I need to elaborate, and when facing angels they'll be restrained, weakened by half."
Lucifer then said.
Lin Tian also made an assessment in his heart and continued asking, "What about the angels?"
"One hundred thousand lower-tier angels, one thousand mid-tier angels, six higher-tier angels, two seraphim, namely Gabriel and Michael, who possess divine positions and are undoubtedly gods."
Lucifer continued.
Hearing this.
Lin Tian couldn't help but frown.
Lower-tier angels averaged 10,000 combat power, with only a very few archangels around 15,000.
Mid-tier angels were around 20,000 combat power, a full thousand of them!
As for the six higher-tier ones, they definitely reached the same level as those false demon gods like Beelzebub, over 30,000.
As for the final twelve-winged seraphim, they were estimated to be above 35,000.
But still not reaching 40,000.
After all, Lucifer also improved after eating the demon fruit.
Looking at it this way.
It was very tricky indeed.
Lin Tian said solemnly, thinking rapidly, "All angels below mid-tier level, leave them to all your demons to handle, of course I'll give you one hundred million goblin army."
"Then the six higher-tier angels, those should be thrones and cherubim right? My trusted subordinates and I will handle them."
"The remaining two twelve-tier ones, you and the other five demon gods will solve, no problem right?"
This way.
They could both win the battle and ensure that Alice and the others, as well as himself, wouldn't face death risks.
However, Lucifer's expression became ugly. Good fellow, this was clearly calculating against him!
Fighting two gods, even if they could win, there would definitely be heavy casualties.
And all demons handling mid-tier and below angels.
That would mean complete annihilation.
Lucifer immediately said, "No way, what use is giving me one hundred million goblins? Even one billion could be completely solved by a single archangel."
Lin Tian had already anticipated this, "That's not necessarily true, Your Highness, follow me, let me show you the new goblin soldiers I've cultivated~"
Saying this, an evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
During these months, the cultivation of new generation goblins had not been neglected.
It had been progressing all along.
"Then lead the way."
Lucifer said with interest.
If it were any other goblin saying this, he definitely wouldn't bother, but Lin Tian gave him a feeling of indescribable powerful unknown.
He was curious to see what the most ordinary goblin soldiers could become.
The two left the city and headed toward the goblin military city.
Lin Tian explained while walking, "Do you know Scarlett?"
"I heard Beelzebub mention her before. Her magic can transform into anyone and is indistinguishable, but such tricks are just trivial skills."
Lucifer looked completely dismissive.
Just imitating appearance without strength, ultimately you could only play in low ranks.
In high ranks, even if you got close to who you wanted to kill, they couldn't die even if they stood there for you to kill.
Lin Tian shrugged, saying no more.
What else could he say, after all, you're amazing.
Suddenly.
A frantic, sharp voice rang out, "Demon God... Lord Demon God!! Is it Lord Lucifer the Demon God? Please save me!"
From the direction of the square, it was Radrick.
Now he was disheveled, extremely haggard, his eyeballs bulging outward, no different from a madman.
Lin Tian was slightly stunned, only then remembering there was such a person, "Do you know him? He's also one of Beelzebub's followers."
"Never heard of him."
Lucifer didn't even turn his head, continuing to walk forward.
He was a real god, how could he care about the life and death of other low-level demons.
He even found them disgusting.
After all, he knew very well what demons were like.
Radrick in the distance was shocked, "How is this possible, how is this possible, damn goblin! What did you do! Why would Lord Demon God walk with you!!"
At this moment.
His worldview seemed to collapse!
That was the highest demon god!
"Quiet down, you'll wait here forever for death."
Lin Tian said coldly.
Radrick's expression became twisted and fierce, "My lord, what about Lord Beelzebub, why hasn't he come to save us? Why isn't he seeking revenge on this goblin?"
During these months.
Every moment, every second!
He had been expecting Beelzebub to return with a great army, kill Lin Tian, and rescue them.
His constantly tense nerves had driven him nearly insane.
But what he finally waited for was the highest demon god Lucifer together with the goblin!
"Beelzebub? His head was chopped off by my order, you can see him after you die."
Lin Tian said irritably, full of mockery.
"Thud!"
In an instant.
Radrick's heart seemed to stop, but his expression changed to mocking laughter, "Kekeke, lowly goblin, still fantasizing about deicide? What joke are you making!"
"What he said is true."
Lucifer said with extreme dissatisfaction, glancing away.
These words exploded like thunder in Radrick's mind!
His whole person shook like an overloaded machine, facing collapse!
"Impossible, impossible! Why is this happening! Why would you get involved with him! Scarlett that beast!!! May she die horribly!"
Finally, Radrick fell into mad despair, roaring and spitting blood.
Fainting.
Who would have thought that initially provoking just a small goblin would result in even a demon god's death.
Beelzebub was probably the most wronged.
But now it was too late to say anything.
Lin Tian continued leading forward, "So far, we've iterated three generations of perfect goblins. They're born with the highest level talents and qualities among goblins, needing no further development to evolve into goblin overlords. And there's one thing you absolutely wouldn't expect."
"Oh? That's quite surprising indeed, perfect goblins?"
Lucifer's eyes sparkled.
In everyone's perception.
What would the most insignificant, most base and weak goblins be like in perfect condition?
Soon everyone arrived at the breeding area.
Before them, a mountain-sized insect queen stood majestically above the breeding area, like a sky-supporting giant beast, truly shocking.
However, in Lin Tian's eyes, it was now just a weak insect.
Its greatest use was producing goblins.
It could save the tedious production process, doing everything at once.
In the breeding area, countless goblins were busy with something, with a creature bound in the very center.
Scarlett.
Now they weren't having Scarlett improve goblin genes.
Instead, they were having her unlock new species, to later add more options for improving the new generation of perfect goblins.
Currently, they only had genes from about a thousand creatures.
They would all be unlocked soon.
Lin Tian planned to have Scarlett unlock the dozens of thousands of species in the world, then transform them to enhance goblin genes.
That would be truly perfect species goblins.
But this was a long and massive project.
Currently, tens of millions of goblins had been sent out, responsible for capturing unseen creatures.
Only about 100,000 goblins remained in the military city, responsible for transporting the captured female creatures.
Transporting them to Scarlett for unlocking.
And feeding the insect queen, supplementing nutrients for survival and egg production.
Seeing this magical and shocking scene.
Lucifer couldn't help but examine Lin Tian deeply again, asking the soul question, "What are you trying to achieve with all this?"
"Nothing much, same as you all, satisfying desires."
Lin Tian said lightly.
Next was the real show. Currently, there were ten million perfect species goblins in the insect queen's body, and production could begin.
They needed to produce over a hundred million before the great battle began in two months.
Hearing this.
Lucifer's expression immediately darkened, "Goblin, let me correct you here, I'm not doing all this to satisfy desires..."
Feeling the coldness emanating from him.
Lin Tian quickly replied, "Maybe I misunderstood, don't get excited."
He had no interest in the other's purpose.
Anyway, as long as everything developed toward his desired outcome, that was enough.
Whoever obstructed would have to die.
Then he instructed the insect queen, "Begin producing the first batch of perfect species."
