[601-800] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 641: Foundation

“Did you know the situation of the world?” Souta asked seriously.

Live peacefully. That sounds good and he also wanted to live like that… But it seems impossible after knowing what will happen in the future.

Aside from the events in the game, Souta was extremely wary about those unknown enemies that gods, demon gods, spirit gods, and monster lords fought twenty thousand years ago. It was a major event that annihilated most of the highest-ranking powerhouses in Imperium.

A tragedy that no one knows.

Up until now, the event twenty thousand years ago was still a mystery for most people in the whole cosmos.

“What do you mean?” Alexander felt the seriousness in Souta’s tone.

“I’m sure you’re aware of the demon invasion. The entire population of God’s Continent knew that the demons are waging war at the edge of the land. They already conquered dozens of countries in a short amount of time.”

“What about it?”

“That’s the only thing that the top faction couldn’t hide from the public’s eyes. Aside from that, there are still hidden currents slowly encroaching the land without us knowing. Only people in certain factions knew about it.”

“So you are saying…”

“Yes, why do you think the warriors of Athena are here in this kingdom? Why do you think the Red Matter Association is just showing themselves at this moment?” Souta paused for a moment. “This is only the tip of the upcoming events. Various organizations are moving at the same time and dozens of kingdoms like Fone had been burned down in just a short amount of time.”

“It’s the start of chaos. Gods are already arranging the battlefield. They are looking at the entire continent as if it was a chessboard and us, mortals, are their chess pieces. A great war will occur soon so you should join an organization that can help you before it’s too late.”

Alexander sighed as he closed his eyes. After a while, he opened it again. “That’s more of a reason why I should travel now. I have to do something before what you said became true.”

“It seems that I can’t persuade you even if I offer you a bunch of resources.” Souta smiled in defeat.

“I can get resources for myself. I wanted to know why you wanted me to join your group even telling me all those stuff.” Alexander curiously.

“Just like what I told you before. You have vast potential. I’m sure that you will achieve godhood in the near future.” Souta shook his head. “If I was a human or demi, would you join my group or not?”

“My answer is still the same.”

“I see…” Souta smiled. “I’ll finish our discussion now. I’m Souta Ieshi, remember my name. I’ll remember yours and I’m sure we will meet again in the future. If you have any problem you can always ask me.”

“Thank you for your understanding. I’m Alexander Dreyfus, it’s my pleasure to be your acquaintance.” Alexander shook Souta’s hand.

Since he couldn’t recruit Alexander, he could only befriend him and slowly establish a connection.

Alexander will become the Ancient Myriad Emperor in the future. He just hoped that when the time happens, he will not forget him.

“If you encounter any problem that you can’t solve alone, you can go to Athen’s Champion and find me. You can even hire my squad as long as you can afford it.”

With that, Souta left. He already expected this outcome. He knew that Alexander wouldn’t join Astros.

Also, he didn’t want to force Alexander to join his group. There were still a lot of chances in the future. He will slowly build up their relationship.
