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

Chapter 743: [Serpent Dominance]

Somewhere, inside a dark area, a man was sitting on a chair with a frown on his face. He has long black hair that draped over his shoulder.

A man with pink hair color was standing behind him looking at the screen before them.

“Both of them are going to meet… It’s too early.” The pink-haired man said plainly.

“Yeah, both of them are variables that could change the tide in the future. We couldn’t let any of them perish soon.” The man on the chair nodded.

“There’s a difference in power. The other one had already tapped the power of beast instinct while the other only tapped the tip of it. The two of them will achieve monster lord in the future as long as they continue their pace.” The pink-haired man said.

“Both of them are already at the fourth stage. This is good but for them to cross paths this early…” The man on the chair rested his chin on his palm. “Their meeting is inevitable. Well, I already have a plan regarding this. No one among them would die.”

He then glanced at the pink-haired man behind him and chuckled. “You’re luck is bad. I’ve watched everything that happened in the previous cycle and you’re the only variable. No wonder the entire population almost experienced extinction. Even at my time, there are six variables.”

“From my knowledge, the Imperium held back in the last cycle to preserve its power. Only this time the Imperium took out everything giving birth to dozens of variables.” The pink-haired man said.

“Hehe, variables should just continue to improve their strength. They shouldn’t worry about other people. That’s why I’ll give them a path. I’ll guide them.” The man on the chair said strongly.

“Imperial’s blessed children…” The pink-haired man muttered.

‘We’ll lose control of what’s happening soon. The foreign energy is making it hard for me to interfere. She’s getting closer and closer. I don’t have much time.’ The man on the chair said inwardly.

…

Sob!

Souta heard a sobbing sound when he approached the seals. In the center of the metal poles, the giant rock was gone. Instead, a woman with long black hair was curled in the center as she tightly hugged her knees. Some parts of her arms and legs were covered in black scales.

She’s crying?! The great monster sealed in this place was crying? The monster that Heracles subdued in his second labor… It’s different from what he imagined. She wasn’t like this in the game.

This woman was the Lernaean Hydra that Hercules defeated in his second labor. She hasn’t died from that battle. In fact, Hercules couldn’t kill her at that time so he resorted to seal her after weakening her.

Thump!

Souta felt his heart beating wildly. It felt painful and it made him hard to breathe.

“This level of suppression?!? There are two seals left so how…?”

He gritted his teeth and pressed his hand on his chest. It was outside of his expectation that the suppression would be this powerful.

“H-Hey, can you remove the suppression?” Souta asked with great effort.

The woman lifted her head revealing a flawless face. Her skin was white as snow, exquisite slit pupils, and plump red lips. A streak of tears dropped from her eyes as she stared at the unknown monster.

Her emotions were fluctuating wildly but once she heard this monster’s voice, her emotional instability slowed down.

She slowly opened her mouth and timidly asked, “H-How?”
