Chapter 166

He warned with disdain and arrogance.

"The Lord does not care about the corpse of a human lord."

"The Lord does not care about the grievances between you."

"What the Lord cares about is only eternity, the mysteries of life and death."

"You are too insignificant before the Lord."

"The Lord is bestowing a gift upon you, granting you a chance to touch the eternal truth."

"Do not remain stubbornly deluded."

Hearing these words,

Lu Cang himself felt awkward.

If he were to say these words with his own mouth, he would never be able to utter them.

But to the goblin, these words felt very normal.

After all, the Flesh Lord is the Supreme Lord.

The more one contacts Him, the more one feels the greatness of the Flesh Lord.

He can transcend ranks and tiers, altering a creature's genes.

He analyzes the principles of all matter and rewrites them as genes, directly modifying living creatures.

The goblins too received genetic modification.

And these mad researchers, upon feeling these modifications,

felt even more shock...

No, it should be awe.

As soldiers, receiving modification was a matter of course, taken for granted.

But they were scholars.

What they felt was only incredulity; these feats were like miracles.

Thus, their worship of the Flesh Lord had reached a fanatical degree.

Aside from research, they prayed to the Flesh Lord.

And now, the Flesh Lord's proxy gave it a task: to "kindly" remind this lich.

Not to stray into error, but to return from the wrong path and recognize the opportunity.

Naturally, it had to perform well.

And this lich was stunned by the suddenly appearing goblin.

This goblin.

Merely a fifth-tier creature, yet its tone is so bold.

"Flesh Lord."

"What thing? I have never heard of it."

"In my long life, studying ancient history for thousands of years,"

"I have known the names of countless existences, yet never heard of this one."

"You must have been bewitched by something."

Hearing the other's words, the goblin

felt a surge of anger in its heart.

The Flesh Lord had become its faith.

How could its faith tolerate being casually defiled by others?

"Great Proxy, allow me to teach that rude lich a lesson."

Lu Cang glanced down at the goblin.

He said lightly.

"Do not kill him~."

These lightly spoken words were heard by the keen-eared lich.

"Do not kill me?"

"What kind of joke is this?"

"A mere fifth-tier goblin, also..."

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking,

he felt his head tilt to one side.

His body flew out, uncontrollable!

Boom!

Before he could even adjust his posture,

his abdomen received another heavy blow, slamming him heavily onto the ground.

At the moment of impact with the ground,

a crater with a radius of fifty meters appeared, centered on the lich's body.

"Bewitched? Deceived?"

"Today I will let you see if this power of mine was obtained by deception."

The lich was completely stunned.

A fifth-tier goblin sat astride his body.

The goblin's entire body was packed with taut muscle; it hardly looked like a goblin scholar.

It was simply a muscular brute.

However, in this world, combat power in most cases cannot be judged by physique.

Unless it is a giant unit, where physique determines combat power.

A Tier 5 monster wanting to break a Tier 8 defense is sheer fantasy.

But now, this outrageous situation appeared before the Lich.

Boom!

Jab Impact!

One punch struck down.

A huge hole was directly punched through the Lich's chest.

【Dark Spear of the Spear: Bestows the characteristics of the Dark Spear upon the blood. When performing piercing-type attacks, the blood covers the body surface, forming a sharp shadow field that greatly enhances penetrating destructive power.】

The Lich possesses a phylactery.

Even if it is killed, as long as the phylactery is not destroyed, the soul

will not die.

However, the phylactery generally cannot be too far from the Lich.

Therefore, the goblin did not worry at all about accidentally killing it.

"You, how can you be so strong..."

Boom!

Another punch!

Clang!

This punch did not penetrate the opponent's body.

The Lich also knew to resist.

Instantly hardening its body.

It forcibly resisted and blocked this strike.

But, it blocked the physical impact.

It did not block the chemical attack.

The Lich's gray flesh gradually turned a patch of bright red rot.

It blocked, but did not block completely.

【Special Gene: Putrefaction and Decay】

【Putrefaction and Decay: Causes all tissues of all your units to mix with rotting and decaying cells, causing rot and decay to the body surface of any creature they touch; the toxicity is equivalent to a Tier 8 Imperial-level creature.】
