Chapter 101 – The game of the Deity, or just bad taste
"Deity, are you toying with us?"
Watching the army fade into the distance, an old woman shed a tear of bitterness.
Why are the magical creatures so brutal?
Could it be that the deity who created them did it on purpose?
Clearly, it didn't have to be this way, yet it is.
Doubt arose in her heart.
But that was all it was.
The old man beside her sighed, appearing even older, "The magical creatures aren't wrong, nor are humans. So who is wrong? We now fight the magical creatures for our future survival, but their brutality and bloodthirstiness are just driven by their nature."
The old man and woman couldn't figure it out.
It seemed like they thought of something but dared not think further.
The power of the divine is above all.
They could only hope that their only son in the army would return alive.
...
Inside the Skycraze Tribe.
The sound of forging hammers clanging was everywhere.
The heat from the furnaces rolled like waves.
The massive breeding tool creatures from before had all been eaten, boosting everyone's strength significantly.
The tribe, once crowded to the point of bursting, was now somewhat navigable.
With war imminent, those breeding machines were of no use.
So it was better to eat them directly.
Except for the thousand humans kept as precious resources, naturally not to be wasted.
Under tireless forging, all the low-level goblins were finally clad in simple plate armor and armed with simple daggers.
The Great Types were fully equipped.
"With the remaining magical creatures from the Great Tomb, we can fight."
Lin Tian analyzed.
Saying he wasn't nervous would be a lie.
At this moment, a goblin scout sent to the front line returned with news, "Boss, the empire's forces have approached the Great Tomb and stopped thirty miles away."
Thirty miles away?
Lin Tian pondered; there seemed to be a small plain at that distance.
It looked like they wanted to fight there.
"I understand, keep scouting and report back."
After giving his orders, Lin Tian had Alice, who had experience in leading troops, start gathering soldiers, organizing the phalanx, and saying something to boost morale.
"We are the messengers of the Deity, chosen for the holy war! We must slaughter all demons from this world! Those humans are demons now!"
Alice's eyes burned with hatred, coldness, and murderous intent!
Unfortunately, while her morale was high, the goblins were unmoved.
Lin Tian sighed, "Ahem, let me handle this."
For goblins, boosting morale was simple.
"Do you want an empire where you can do whatever you want? Follow me and take down those silver-armored guys, and you'll have endless women and food!"
In summary, it was just that simple.
The goblins instantly became excited!
"I want women! I'm tired of these magical creatures!"
"Human wine is the best, I want to drink!"
"Meat, I want fresh, tender meat, magical creatures aren't tasty!"
"Build an empire! Conquer all races, I want to play with every race! Hehehe!"
The frenzied noise echoed throughout the Skycraze Tribe.
Alice shrugged helplessly at the scene.
Goblin Kill couldn't help but smile, "Goblins do understand goblins."
Lin Tian chuckled, "Don't lump me in with them, they're too shallow. I'm a man who wants to control divine power."
Over time, he deeply understood how much harm divine power had brought to humanity.
A few words could brainwash a person.
Even someone like Alice firmly believed in divine power.
Only by becoming a deity could one control everyone, even those high above, who would kneel before a deity.
Make them kneel, not sit.
Next, Alice began instructing on the matters to be aware of in war.
Lin Tian activated the Life Simulation.
Such a large-scale battle held many uncertainties and extremely powerful characters.
A slight mistake could lead to death.
With the system's error tolerance, he could further secure victory.
This was why he had forcibly stopped the Life Simulation before, but fortunately, he could simulate once more before the war began.
[Life Simulation System is starting, current scenario: Empire War
Today marks the 300th day since you crossed into this world, almost a year, and finally, the biggest turning point has arrived.
The tribe is strong, with 80,000 low-level goblins, 30,000 Great Types, 8,000 Hero Types, and 100 Leader Types, making it the strongest goblin tribe in history.
You lead this massive army and begin the attack.
And activate the summon skill, gathering all low-intelligence magical creatures in the Great Tomb.
A total of 20,000, with fewer than 500 over the fifth tier, and only ten over the seventh tier.
But seeing the Lionheart Empire's 100,000 fully armored soldiers, including 30,000 heavy cavalry, you still feel the pressure.
The war begins with both sides screaming hysterically.
The fully armored soldiers are far stronger than imagined, with a casualty ratio of 5 to 1, and the goblins' death rate far exceeds your expectations.
At this time, Veronica appears, using a super-level skill to summon the Black Goat's Egg into battle, pulling back the casualty ratio.
But when the church members exert their power, the situation reverses again.
You are immediately targeted by the strong of the Lionheart Empire and the church.
Under intense and powerful attacks, you have nowhere to escape.
To save you, Goblin Fury and the others all die in battle, and Alice is knocked out and captured.
Unexpectedly, you become a pawn of the Great Tomb.
In the end, both sides suffer heavy losses...
Summary: In a situation with strong opponents everywhere, exposing oneself is a descent into hell.
Score: 40 out of 100
Reward: Life Points x40
This Life Simulation is complete, with a time progression of 1 day.]
Suddenly.
Lin Tian snapped back to reality, his face full of fear, "Did I die so easily?"
By now, he should have reached a combat power level of 6,000, right?
In the snowfield, he consumed quite a few Snow Crystals, reaching level 90.
But thinking about it, it made sense, as the combat power of the church's people was uncertain.
Yet, judging from Bone King Veronica's performance, the old Pope must also be close to a combat power of 10,000.
Not an opponent Lin Tian could match.
Unless he used Decaying Blood to significantly weaken him.
But using Decaying Blood was difficult, only possible through a sneak attack.
"It seems I can't expose myself first, I need Bone King to summon some magical creatures first."
Lin Tian pondered, every step now needed to be extremely cautious.
Otherwise, he would fall into hell.
First, he headed to the legend array to request a transmission message.
After Rebecca sensed it, she opened the transmission channel to the Great Tomb for Lin Tian.
Only then did he teleport over.
"We meet again, is there something you need?"
Rebecca forced a smile.
Lin Tian looked around, seeing only Bone King, Corpse Pope, and the overly seductive Succubus.
He quickly got to the point, "Things are serious, the Lionheart Empire and the church's people are stationed 30 kilometers from the Great Tomb's edge."
"Oh?"
Bone King Veronica reacted, "So, it's going to be a battle, how are your preparations?"
"As you wished, the forces are almost ready, it's the best we can do, but compared to the fully armored human soldiers, it's still not enough, we need you to strike first."
Lin Tian analyzed seriously.
He had seen Veronica's attribute panel before.
[Veronica: Lv100
Race: Undead
Profession: Heretic Summoner

Strength: 1000

From the attributes, she wasn't particularly strong, and Lin Tian's basic attributes weren't much different from hers.
But her overall combat power was terrifying for one reason: her skills, profession, and equipment.
Plus, the system mentioned she later summoned a Black Goat Hatchling.
That's how he guessed.
In the later stages, few people relied on their attributes alone, it was all about skills, professions, racial talents, equipment, and so on.
Attributes had limits unless one was of the divine race or some special race.
Hearing this, Veronica didn't speak first, but Rebecca questioned, "What are you saying? Our master doesn't strike so casually."
"Enough, this isn't a small matter, just release the heretics we captured earlier."
Veronica said, gently stomping her staff.
The four of them appeared directly above the Skycraze Tribe's teleportation array.
The noisy goblin army slightly shocked Rebecca, but Veronica was unfazed.
She merely said indifferently, "You've done well, if you survive this great war, you may serve me."
"Master!"
Rebecca pouted, clearly resistant and even jealous.
She was only nice to Lin Tian because Veronica wanted to use him.
In her heart, she was full of disgust for goblins.
Lin Tian knew this, so he never gave her a good face, otherwise, he would have been played for a fool.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Lin Tian awkwardly smiled, lowering his head, full of disdain.
Thinking, what kind of person? Serve you? Damn, almost thought I misheard, if you weren't a skeleton, I'd definitely deal with you too!
In this world, there wasn't a woman worthy of Lin Tian's service.
Only those he conquered.
Thinking about it, even if she was a skeleton, he'd still make her submit.
Otherwise, this Sun Tzu would be acting in vain.
Veronica gestured for Rebecca to calm down, then said, "This is what you deserve, now let me expand the army's strength."
"Super-level Magic: Heretic Summoning!"
Suddenly, two magic circles unfolded in the forest beside the goblin army, each over ten meters wide!
And several differently colored magic circles overlapped in the sky.
Emitting extremely powerful magic power.
The wind howled, as if demons were whispering.
Suddenly, a bizarre, creepy laugh emerged from the magic circles, like little ghosts giggling.
Two pitch-black heretic creatures slowly emerged from the magic circles.
Each over ten meters tall, covered in writhing tentacles, without eyes, ears, or arms.
Only three goat-hoofed feet and a large mouth.
It even felt like a bizarre golden regurgitation.
