The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Souta took the bracelet and the boots before he used his gravity ability to push the debris of rocks away from him.

Boom!

The whole place was crumbling and he was ten thousand meters beneath the surface. He hurriedly flew towards the entrance while smashing the walls that blocked his way.

Since the mechanism had stopped, he could shatter the walls right now with his sheer strength.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Using a string of flesh, he took out a transmission talisman. He then called Alice.

"Alice, we are going to leave this planet. Tell the others to escape and go back to the Guardian Fortress as soon as possible. I'll call Torkez to prepare the transportational gate right away."

"Got it." Alice nodded from the other side of the talisman.

Souta cut the call and he proceeded to call Torkez. He told him to prepare the transportational gate as he know that the people from the fortress were fighting the forces of the council for several days nonstop. The fortress even launched several Mana Convergent Bomb just to hold their position.

Swoosh!

He exited the volcano only to witness the collapsing area around him. The ground was shaking nonstop as lava would burst out in huge cracks.

The land within one hundred kilometers was experiencing a powerful earthquake. It wasn't an ordinary earthquake instead the earthquake caused the land to sink into the sea of lava.

Souta turned his head towards the floating islands in his vision. He made a grabbing motion in the air and the gravity around him tightened.

"Since I'm here, I'm going to destroy some of their facilities."

Boom!

The floating islands started to move slowly. The size of each floating island wasn't normal so the amount of best feram that he was using to move these islands was enormous. His energy was depleting at unbelievable speed.

"Argh! Settle down!!"

Bang!

The islands collided with each other and Souta quickly removed his ability. Just by moving those islands, he consumed a quarter of his energy already. As expected, the energy in the atmosphere was the cause of it. The mana density was making it hard for him to use his energy. He was like a normal human deep in the sea that couldn't move with his usual speed.

"But this is enough..."

Souta looked up and his body shot through the sky. His figure penetrated through the layers of cloud that were covering the entire planet.

He could already see some of the forces of the council noticed the fluctuations of his best feram. They were preparing to head in his direction.

'I guess the battle will occur there.'

His body exited the layers of clouds. Along with him, several figures emerged from the clouds in the far distance. Those figures were several kilometers away from him and he could see that they were after Alice and the rest.

The forces of the council were chasing them.

They could defeat them as the forces of the council that were chasing them only had low-rank soldiers, but there's no need to fight them. The most important thing right now was to arrive in the Guardian Fortress.

Souta knew the details of the Guardian Fortress. They don't need to enter the fortress. They just need to arrive on the range of the transportational gate and Torkez would activate it immediately.

Boom!

The group continued to fly through the sky. When they've passed through the atmosphere of the planet, their speed had increased several times. There's no mana in outer space so they were moving without any restrictions of natural energy.

"Just focus on the Guardian Fortress!"

After a few minutes of flying with unbelievable speed, the group saw the scene on the Guardian Fortresses.

More than hundreds of soldiers from the council were attacking the two Guardian Fortress. They even saw corpses floating around in outer space.

Swoosh!

"Let's go!"

Souta pulled out the vajra sword and shot several energy blades. Alice, Eztein, Franklin, Amanda, and Elder Guan also threw their attacks at the council. Then, they quickly head towards the Guardian Fortress.

Boom!

Several explosions occurred as the mana waves from it caused the two fortresses to vibrate.

"Torkez! Start the transportational gate!!" Souta shouted as he poured his energy into his voice so that it could travel through outer space.

With their power level, pouring their energy into their voice so that they could communicate in outer space was nothing but a small trick. He could even do this trick long ago.

Alice turned her head and looked at the council soldiers. She gathered a huge amount of mana in her spear and pointed it at the enemies.

In the next moment, a huge block of ice appeared beside her and it flew straight towards the enemies. It wasn't an ordinary block of ice as it contained Alice's energy.

'This will delay them for at least three seconds...'

Alice said inwardly as she moved her body away to follow Souta. There were bruises around her body and not just her, Amanda, Franklin, and Eztein had wounds on their bodies too.

They've attacked the bases of the council in Planet Orina. Although there's no SS-rank soldier, they still faced the overwhelming numbers hidden in those bases. It's natural that they would receive injuries.

It's not surprising at all.

The only person that has escaped unscathed was Elder Guan. Elder Guan was a person that broke one shackle. Although he was weaker than Clan Leader Rowan, there's still no doubt that no mere S-rank could rival his power.

"For real, they are here. I thought that I will have to fight these people for several days." Eilish sighed in relief when she saw the group.

She was one of the vanguards of the fortress that was pushing the council's soldiers away. Without her, the fortress will receive enough damage to disable to transportational gate.

"Hmph! Just what they did even do on that planet?!" Elder Hanmi snorted as he glanced at the group.

He wasn't Souta's loyal follower, so he was a little bit suspicious about Souta's goal in Planet Orina. From what he knows, even Torkez didn't know Souta's goal nor the reason why they enter that planet. Is it to attract the council?

In his perspective, they should've avoided the eyes of the Council of High-World. They should lay low for a while and wait for the council to regain its calmness. But what they were doing right now would only make the council rage.

He was sure that after this, the council will not stop chasing them.

But what he didn't know was that Souta didn't care about the rage of the council.

Once he entered the Imperium, the council wouldn't be able to do anything. They could only bark at him and stealthy send a low number of their forces. After all, the council was afraid of Imperium and the beings called Gods, Spirit Gods, Monster Lords, and Demon Gods.

Even though the council was formed by a huge number of top-tier high worlds, they only had five gods in their rank. Five gods were nothing in comparison to Imperium which had hundreds of gods not counting the hidden ones.

Torkez, who was in the control room, looked at the projection. When he saw that they entered the range of transportational gate, he quickly pressed the button to start it.

"This will not end here. They are going to launch more attacks in the next location."

Souta muttered as he glanced at the council's soldiers. The white light engulfed him and the rest before they vanished from their location.

The transportational gate had many loopholes. They just used it in front of enemies' eyes and the council had many ways to track their movement instantly.

There were many facilities here unlike on the previous planet. Amanda's planet was on the edge of the council's territory so it didn't receive much attention. It didn't have facilities which could track teleportation nor any people that could detect it. Even if they sent out people to that planet to track the teleportation, it would be too late as the lingering energy from using the transportational gate would scatter.

Unless a god had personally appeared, no one would be able to differentiate the scattered energy in the air. This was the reason why Leo quickly realized that Souta have been in Eidin Planet but Leo didn't know where he escaped.

The reason was that the space on a planet with mana stabilized more quickly than outer space.

That's what happened to the demon army, they arrived at the previous planet a week later after the Guardian Fortress used the transportational gate.

The situation was different right now. The Guardian Fortress had just used teleportation in outer space and the lingering mana from using it was still thick.

And Souta was right... They were deep into the council's territory so the attack that they will encounter will be much fiercer than before.

"The transportational gate had 24 hours of cooldown before we could use it again. It means that we had to defend ourselves from the council for the next 24 hours!!"

Souta shouted before he glanced at the two pieces of equipment that were floating beside him. He hasn't even basked in the joy of taking these two pieces.

Well, it's not bad. In the worse case scenario, he will simply use these two.
