"Why was the Goddess of our legion visited us? And from the looks of it, her target is you..." Alice asked Souta.

"Yep, Goddess Athena told me something important. If I didn't know this then it could lead us to our doom." Souta said as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"That worse?" Eztein said.

"Yeah, I won't tell you the information as it's currently above our level. It's related to gods." Souta nodded.

"G-Gods?!!"

Alice, Franklin, Eztein, and Isabella were stunned. It's not just above their level. It's several levels above them. For them, gods were unreachable beings that they could only look up to.

"But how does it concern you?" Alice asked slowly.

"You know the living labyrinth that we cleared in Planet Eidin?"

"Yeah, Isabella's homeworld... No, don't tell me."

"Yep, the legacy that I acquired was related to this. I finally understood the reason why Planet Eidin was destroyed."

Souta said with a gloomy expression. He recalled when Jamine told him the dozens of sub-world that they controlled disappeared in an instant.

So that's the reason why...

"Shit! Gods... I don't know what to say anymore." Eztein said.

"Oho~ this old man is trembling..." Franklin laughed as he glanced at both of his hands.

Souta shook his head and looked at everyone. "Since we're too powerless to confront the problem, we shouldn't worry about it for now. It's better if we continue our pace and get stronger step by step."

He exited the room after he finished talking to them. He needed to finish his business first.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in."

Souta opened the door and stepped forward inside. This was the room of the Tenth Grain War Chief, Carmel.

Carmel was sitting on a chair looking at him with a curious expression. He smiled and said, "Isn't this the little monster in our Tenth Grain? What's the matter this time? It's rare for you to visit my office on your own."

"Good day, Sir." Souta greeted his superior first. He didn't want to delay it anymore so he went straight to the point. "I could feel that I'm about to evolve, Sir. Can you provide me a place where people won't disturb me?"

"Hmm... Evolution." Carmel rubbed his chin. He eyed Souta and asked, "Can you really feel that you're about to evolve?"

"Yes, Sir. I'm not making an assumption here. This feeling is the same when I evolve into third stage back then." Souta answered.

"If that's the case then I'll arrange a place for you." Carmel nodded at him. "Still, fourth stage, huh? You'll be entering the top stage of powerhouse..."

"Thank you, Sir." Souta saluted.

"It's nothing." Carmel waved his hand before he stood up. "Come, follow me."

Soon, the news that he was going to evolve spread in the entire Tenth Grain. After all, Carmel ordered some people to clean one of the training grounds and asked some people to call some experts from the Third Grain. Those people naturally talk about it while doing their jobs and it quickly spread.

"Is that the one?"

"Yep, he's the monster of the Tenth Grain War."

"Going to fourth stage! It's a very rare scene to see a monster of this level evolve."

"What do you think he's eating?"

"Do you think he's eating human flesh?"

"Shh! What if he eats you?"

"Yiikes! I don't want that to happen!"

"Don't worry, I heard a rumor that he didn't like the meat of an old man like you. I heard he likes the meat of a woman in their prime."

"Oww! Luckily, my girlfriend is in another city."

"Do you think he'll become our Goddess' pet?"

"I don't think so. He's a humanoid monster so I can't imagine our Goddess petting him."

"Oi! My mind! You're tainting our Goddess!!"

"Our goddess have pets but none of them are humanoid like this one!"

Souta was looking at the training ground with a blank expression while his shoulder was dropped.

"T-This... Am I a show? I-Is my evolution a show?"

There were hundreds of people around the place waiting for him to start.

"I-I'm sorry, they can't help it. It's rare for people to see a monster evolve to a higher stage, especially if that monster is going to evolve into the fourth stage." Carmel smiled wryly. He didn't expect that this would create a commotion.

Souta almost changed his mind about choosing this place.

'I should ignore them.'

He shook his head and took a deep breath.

"Are you ready?" Carmel asked him.

"Yeah, I'm ready." Souta nodded with a serious expression.

Carmel raised his hand and several people stepped forward. These people were all Shackled Realm experts. Eilish and Manduk, who they met in Halbun Dukedom, were also present.

"Set up the barriers!"

Carmel ordered.

A tremendous amount of aura burst out of the bodies of the Shackled Realm experts. They raised their hands and a barrier formed around the stage.

If a third evolution monster evolved into the fourth stage, the amount of best feram that will scatter could affect the surrounding. So they will make sure that everything will be fine after this.

"Everything is good. You can start now."

Souta nodded and focused his attention on the system interface. He stepped forward and stopped in the center of the stage.

He sat down and closed his eyes.

»Level-up card(x6)

Six and he was level 56 so he just needed to use four. As for the remaining two cards. He will save it for the future.

'Use four Level-up cards.'

Four cards quickly disappeared and he saw his level change repeatedly.

*Ding!*

[You've reached the limit of your level!]

[You need to evolve first if you want to continue leveling up!]

Souta felt that he had grown strong once again. The added stats from leveling up four times in a row brought a huge boost to his fighting power. He even felt that he could fight a genuine One Shackle Realm expert for a few rounds.

'You just reached third stage a few months ago and now you're already tackling the fourth stage... I wouldn't believe it if I didn't witness all of it.' Saya's voice sounded.

'It's nothing.' Souta replied to her. He already said to her that as long as he didn't die he was confident to reach the level of gods in just a few years.

Two years had passed since he transmigrated to this goblin body. In that short amount of time, he reached the limit of the third stage from a non-evolve goblin. No one would believe him if he told this story to people.

Even Yuko hasn't reached the limit of the third stage yet. Most of all, she was already at the second stage when Souta first met her.

So in the span of two years, she only evolved one time yet Souta evolved three times. The fourth was today.

Race: Blood Goblin(3rd Stage)

Level: 60(Max)

He finally reached it. Souta smiled inwardly and looked at the system prompt that he received.

[You've reached the level requirement for the next evolution!]

[If you want to continue leveling up please proceed to evolution!]

[Do you want to evolve? Yes/No?]

Yes. Souta didn't hesitate to answer.

[Race Detected: Blood Goblin!]

[Opening up evolution path!]

[The system detected seven evolution paths available!]

[Please choose one of the seven following evolution paths. Warning! The evolution is irreversible. Please choose wisely.]

[Moonlight Goblin]

[Shadow Hunter Goblin]

[Desolate Walker]

[Pure Energy Hob]

[Crimson Twilight]

[Mutated Hobgoblin Commander]
