27: Crazy Goblin 2
In the following days, Fatty began to reorganize this giant Goblin Lair.
He abolished the evil custom of Goblins capturing females of other races as breeding tools,
released all the imprisoned women, and gave them a choice:
they could leave, or stay and be protected as residents of the lair.
Unexpectedly, most of the women chose to stay.
Because they were homeless in the outside world,
and here, at least Fatty could guarantee their safety and dignity.
Fatty also discovered that the Demon King Power within him had a miraculous effect.
He could use this power to solve the biggest problem of the Goblin race—the curse of being unable to reproduce within their own species!
Under the influence of Fatty's power, Goblins no longer needed to capture females of other races to produce offspring.
They could reproduce through normal means,
and the offspring born were pure Goblins, not hybrids as they had been before.
More importantly, Fatty discovered that this power could free all living beings from their dependence on food.
In other words, as long as they received the blessing of his power, any creature could maintain its life activities without needing to eat.
This discovery gave birth to a bold idea in Fatty's mind.
"If all living beings didn't need to kill each other for food..."
Fatty stood at the highest point of the lair, gazing at the distant mountains,
"then could this world achieve true peace?"
In his previous life, he had conquered the world for revenge,
only to find in the end that slaughter brought nothing but emptiness and pain.
In this life, he wanted to do something different,
not for conquest,
but to create a world where all living beings could coexist in peace.
"I want to make it so this world no longer has slaughter between races, no longer has the cruelty of the law of the jungle..."
Fatty clenched his fist,
"I want to establish an Alliance where all living beings can coexist in harmony!"
Just as Fatty was formulating his grand plan, an alarm sounded from outside the lair.
"Great King! A group of human knights is approaching!"
A Goblin sentry ran over in a panic to report,
"Leading them is... the Goblin Slayer, Arit!"
"Goblin Slayer?"
Fatty raised an eyebrow.
In his previous life, he had heard of this name.
Arit was the most famous Goblin hunter in the human kingdom,
it was said that more than a thousand Goblins had died by his hand.
The "Goblin Purge" squad he led
was the nightmare of all Goblin Lairs.
"Just in time."
Fatty smiled slightly,
"Let me meet this legendary slayer."
...At the entrance of the lair, a well-equipped human squad was waiting in formation.
Leading them was a middle-aged man in black armor, holding dual swords,
it was indeed the Goblin Slayer, Arit.
"According to intelligence, internal strife occurred in this lair not long ago, and a new Goblin King has taken over."
Arit analyzed calmly,
"This is the best time to exterminate them. Prepare to attack!"
"Yes!"
The squad members responded in unison.
However, just as they were about to rush into the lair, a figure slowly walked out from within.
It was a tall Goblin, but unlike other Goblins,
his eyes held no greed or brutality, but rather a strange calm and wisdom.
"Mr. Arit, a pleasure to meet you."
Fatty said in fluent human language,
"I am the new master of this lair, Fatty."
Arit and his squad members were all stunned.
They had never seen a Goblin who could speak and was so polite.
"Monsters can speak too?"
Arit sneered,
"No matter what trickery you have, today is the day you die!"
"Why be so hasty?"
Fatty said calmly,
"We can talk."
"I guarantee that my lair will no longer harm any innocents."
"Nor will we capture females of other races."
"We only wish to live in peace."
"Peace?"
Arit acted as if he had heard the world's biggest joke,
"Goblins also deserve to talk about peace?"
"You filthy monsters only know how to plunder, kill, and breed!"
"Today, I will avenge all the innocents who died at your hands!"
After saying that, Arit swung his dual swords and charged at Fatty.
His speed was extremely fast and his swordsmanship was sharp; he was clearly an experienced warrior.
However, in front of Fatty, all of this seemed so insignificant.
Fatty didn't even move his feet; he just raised one hand and gave a light wave.
Boom!
An invisible force sent Arit flying, crashing heavily to the ground, his dual swords falling from his hands.
"What?!"
Arit and his squad members were all shocked.
They had never seen such powerful strength,
and this strength actually came from a Goblin!
"I said, we can talk."
Fatty remained calm,
"I don't want to harm you, but I won't allow you to harm my kin either."
Arit struggled to stand up, his eyes full of shock and indignation:
"You... who exactly are you?"
"I am Fatty, a Goblin who wants to change this world."
Fatty said sincerely,
"Mr. Arit, I know you have a deep-seated hatred for Goblins."
"But please believe that not all Goblins are monsters."
"Just as not all humans are good people."
"Why should I believe you?"
Arit gritted his teeth.
"Then please stay for a while and see with your own eyes how my lair operates."
Fatty proposed,
"If you still think we should be eliminated, it won't be too late to act then."
Arit fell silent.
He knew that with the power Fatty had just shown, he could have killed them all directly.
But Fatty hadn't done so; instead, he made such a suggestion.
"Fine."
Finally, Arit nodded,
"I'll stay and see what kind of trick you're up to."
...In the following days, Arit and his squad were allowed to move freely within the lair.
They saw a scene completely different from a traditional Goblin Lair:
The Goblins were no longer savage and brutal, but were organized in their construction work;
the released women lived freely in the lair, coexisting peacefully with the Goblins;
there were even human merchant caravans coming to the lair for trade,
exchanging food and cloth for Ore and medicinal herbs collected by the Goblins.
What shocked Arit the most was seeing a giant magic circle in the depths of the lair,
with Fatty standing in the center of the magic circle, channeling some kind of energy into a group of Goblin cubs.
"What is this?"
Arit couldn't help but ask.
"This is an ability I discovered."
Fatty explained,
"Through this energy, Goblin cubs can obtain all the nutrition they need for growth and no longer need to eat."
"I plan to promote this ability to all living beings,"
"so that everyone won't need to kill each other for food."
Arit was silent for a long time before finally asking:
"Do you... really think this is possible?"
"How will we know if we don't try?"
Fatty smiled,
"At least, I have already proven in my lair"
"that different races can coexist peacefully."
Arit didn't speak again, but the look in his eyes had changed.
He began to think that maybe this world really did have a possibility for change... A few days later, Fatty decided to leave the lair
to go see a place,
Old Lin's Farm from his previous life.
He bid farewell to Kanina and Arit and set off on his journey alone.
With the blessing of the Demon King Power, his movement speed was extremely fast,
and it took only half a day to return to that familiar place.
The farm still existed, but the people had changed.
Old Lin looked much older, and Lin Mei had grown up into a beautiful young woman.
Fatty hid in the woods, quietly observing.
He saw a group of bandits break into the farm,
saw Old Lin and Lin Mei fall into danger,
and saw the Silver-White Knight Su Bai appear in time to slay the bandits and save the father and daughter.
Everything was the same as in his previous life, only this time, there was no pig named Fatty to rush out and save his masters.
There was no ripple in Fatty's heart.
Having experienced so much, he had already come to terms with it.
The love and hatred of his previous life had already vanished with that self-explosion.
He saw Old Lin betroth Lin Mei to Su Bai,
saw Su Bai readily agree,
and saw the farm decorated with lanterns and streamers for a wedding.
"I wish you happiness, Lin Mei."
Fatty offered a silent blessing in his heart, then turned to leave.
However, just as the wedding reached its climax, a sudden change occurred!
A pack of Night Wolves rushed out from the forest and pounced on the wedding scene.
These wolves were huge, their eyes flashing with an eerie green light,
clearly driven by some kind of dark power.
"Protect the bride!"
Su Bai drew his sword to fight, but his strength was clearly insufficient to counter the entire pack of Night Wolves.
Screams rose one after another, and the villagers suffered heavy casualties.
Lin Mei and Old Lin were protected behind Su Bai, but they were also in critical danger.
Fatty stopped in his tracks.
He didn't want to intervene, but watching those innocent villagers being slaughtered, he still couldn't stand by and do nothing.
"Fine, consider it paying back the debt from my previous life."
Fatty sighed and walked out from the woods.
"Another Goblin?"
Su Bai saw Fatty, and his expression became even uglier,
"Have you monsters teamed up?"
Fatty didn't explain; he just raised his hand and released the Demon King Power within him.
Black Devilish Qi surged out like a tide, enveloping all the Night Wolves.
The wolf pack let out terrified howls; they could feel the terror of this power,
a power far stronger than the dark existence they served.
"Submit, or die."
Fatty's voice was calm and majestic.
The leader of the Night Wolves, an exceptionally large black wolf,
hesitated for a moment before finally lowering its head in submission.
The other Night Wolves followed suit.
"Good."
Fatty nodded,
"From now on, you are my subordinates."
"Remember, you are not allowed to harm innocents again."
However, Su Bai did not understand any of this.
In his view, this Goblin was clearly colluding with the Night Wolves,
and was now just putting on a play.
"Monster, die!"
Su Bai roared and swung his sword at Fatty.
Fatty easily dodged Su Bai's attack and then struck the back of his neck with a hand-chop, knocking him unconscious to the ground.
"Su Bai!"
Lin Mei cried out and tried to rush over, but was held back tightly by Old Lin.
Fatty walked to Su Bai's side, checked his condition,
and after confirming he was just unconscious, turned to Lin Mei and Old Lin and said:
"Don't worry, he's not dead. I just didn't want to fight him pointlessly."
"You... what exactly do you want to do?"
Old Lin asked tremblingly.
"I want to invite you to join my plan."
Fatty said sincerely,
"I want to establish a world where all living beings can coexist in peace."
"No need to kill for food, no need to fight for survival."
"All races, all life, can live together in harmony."
