[201-400] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 375 - I felt embarrassed

Souta came back to the palace without anyone noticing about it. He was a little bit surprised by the information that woman gave to him.

That woman, Lydia, wasn't local of this world. She was from another world that was much more advance than this one. It was a civilization that ruled over five hundred thirty-two worlds. It was called the Great Astley Empire.

In truth, the Great Asltey Empire found more than a hundred thousand worlds but most of it didn't have any creatures that were living in it. The environment was too extreme for people to live in it. Only people with enough strength could handle those extreme environments.

The empire didn't stop expanding its territory. They continued to plunder and invade any world that they've discovered. They were trying to find resources and worlds with high energy density.

He was quite familiar with this civilization. In the game, there's a small event where another civilization tried to invade the Great World Imperium. The only problem was that when they opened the [Dimensional Gate], it appeared above the vicinity of the northern God's Continent.

A monster lord named Jormungandr, the World Serpent, was resting in that place. It woke up the moment the [Dimensional Gate] appeared. The next thing that happened was a one-sided massacre by a monster lord. Of course, the players that were in that place joined the event to fight the Great Astley Empire with Jormungandr.

Hundreds of sub-world got destroyed by the overwhelming power of the World Serpent. That's the first time that the Great Astley Empire learned the true power of a creature who could rival gods.

After that event, the gods placed the remaining sub-world under their rule after the World Serpent calmed down.

Well, Souta couldn't join that small event as he was in the Giza Continent at that time, fighting demons in the front line. He only knows it because a lot of players posted that event in the forum. It gathered its famed because it's the first time that the famed World Serpent showed its power as a monster lord.

It definitely lived up to its name. Destroying hundreds of worlds easily and the entire army of the Great Astley Empire couldn't do anything about it. They could only watch the World Serpent destroyed everything in its path while advancing to their homeworld.

'So it's connected to that event why Isabella got to the Great World Imperium.'

Back to Lydia... Lydia was a captain of a battalion in that empire. She was a strong woman that reached B-rank in Imperium's power level.

The captain of the 36th battalion of the Great Astley Empire. She had three hundred thousand soldiers under her command. But she rebelled against them.

It was because she realized how corrupted and greedy the higher-ups of the empire. They won't get satisfied even after plundering dozens of worlds out there. Killing millions of people of different worlds and enslaving them was something she couldn't handle anymore.

She's s now a wanted person in the Great Astley Empire. The reason was she cut the resources of the army that was trying to invade other worlds. It was simple yet she bought time for those worlds to prepare themselves for the upcoming invasion.

The reason why she's following them was because she's trying to find some ally to help her in her goal. She's gathering strong people that could fight those commanders of the army.

Right now, he left her in the inn as he didn't believe her words even though he knew what will happen. Lydia will grow suspicious if he instantly believed her without any proof.

He will act that he didn't believe her until he got a proof or a quest that will make him move.

Souta went back to the room. Only Isabella was left inside the room. The rest were gone.
