I could act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a specific color appeared, I’d be able to identify exactly who it belonged to, track it instantly, and move without hesitation. Whether it was a single individual or a group assigned to the same signal, I could respond the moment it happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also made coordinated missions far more viable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we split into teams, I wouldn’t be operating blindly anymore. Any sign of trouble, any sudden escalation—I’d have a direct line to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with my abilities, with my ability to teleport, that difference was massive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others, even if they saw the signal, would still have to move physically, and by the time they got there, the situation could already be over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wouldn’t have that limitation. I could be there in an instant, no delay, no distance to cover, no wasted movement—just a thought, and I’d already be where I needed to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked back at Narg, the value of what he had just brought sinking in deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is really useful, Narg,\" I said, my voice more grounded now. \"You don’t know how much this means to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m glad you like it,\" Narg said, a hint of pride slipping into his tone as he leaned back slightly, then cast a glance at the others—one that clearly saidtry to top thatwithout him needing to voice it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than Flogga, who looked proud, the rest frowned slightly at the challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was something else on my mind, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now,\" I said, shifting my attention back to him, \"I’m not going to ask how you made this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He straightened a little at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Iamgoing to ask what you were doing in the cave when I appeared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While I was almost out of mana and about to be attacked, I focused on my mark on Narg and used [Leap], appearing where he was, and saw that he was performing some sort of ritual in the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to know what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a brief pause before he responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... I was attempting to commune with Lord Drugar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I beg your pardon?\" The words slipped out before I could stop them. \"And why would you do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For blessings,\" Narg replied, though there was a flicker of uncertainty in his expression now, like he was starting to question whether he had misstepped. \"He can grant them... and I believe they could help us moving forward. But I’ve been having trouble establishing a connection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That makes sense,\" Flogga added, her tone calm, as if this were a known path. \"If he hears us—if we please him enough—he can bless the land, grant stronger evolutions, even bestow power that could rival other clans. Lord Drugar’s blessings are important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Praise Lord Drugar!\" Bundi said immediately, his voice carrying a kind of excitement that didn’t sit well with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t just feel unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... no,\" I said, shaking my head as I cut through it. \"We are not contacting Lord Drugar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room quieted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not him or any gods, for that matter,\" I said, my tone firm enough that the room fell silent almost immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And why is that?\" Flogga asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the others, she didn’t hesitate. No caution, no second-guessing—just a direct question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To put it simply...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real answer sat right there, pressing against the back of my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t tell them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t say that if Drugar ever became fully aware of what I was—if he realized I wasn’t something that should exist within his system—then there was a very real chance he’d try to erase me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had already happened once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I consecrated the graveyard, his avatar appeared, and the moment it understood what I was, it moved to kill me without hesitation. The only reason I was still standing was because something else had interfered—something I didn’t understand—wiping that avatar out before the information could reach whatever lay beyond it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn’t something I could rely on happening again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Narg managed to reach him properly... if another avatar appeared... if it saw through me the same way the last one did—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no guarantee I’d survive it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No...that wasn’t a risk I could take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it definitely wasn’t something I could explain to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I buried it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t believe in their usefulness,\" I said instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t the real reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t completely a lie either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flogga gasped at my remark, and the reaction spread through the room almost immediately, a ripple of surprise that settled into uneasy silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them looked taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except Gork, who, like me, didn’t seem to understand the weight of what I had just said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\" Narg started, ready to push back, but I raised a hand before he could finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" I said, firm enough to cut it off cleanly. \"We won’t be involving any gods in this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held my gaze for a moment, weighing it, then lowered his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that is your will, Chief.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, the room went still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earlier momentum we had built—the planning, the direction—it stalled, replaced by a tension that lingered without anyone addressing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I considered ending the meeting right there, dismissing them to clear the air before it turned into something worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before I could open my mouth to speak, the door slammed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every head turned at once, the sound cutting through the room with enough force to snap everyone out of their thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at the entrance was the ember fox, Ariel\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who else would barge in like that without a second thought?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is the meaning of this, fox?\" Narg asked, his tone sharpening immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel didn’t react to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t even acknowledge the hostility. Instead, she shrugged slightly, as if the situation didn’t concern her at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A group of strange goblins is heading this way,\" she said, her voice casual, almost detached. \"I don’t know where they’re from, but I heard the name of their leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think it was... Caius, or something. Do whatever you want with that information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something in me went cold as soon as I heard the name Caius, and I froze where I sat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?!!\u003C\u002Fp>",1061,"2026-06-05T20:04:08.078Z",1,"novelbin.me","1b6d9bc08eb4afba195a8b65c3f513f67ba4e22e7fafb16c63f024a98f208a96","goblin-king-my-innate-skill-is-op-chapter-88","goblin-king-my-innate-skill-is-op-chapter-337",375,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgoblin-king-my-innate-skill-is-op-cover.jpg"]
