Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods.

Regin Levi said that the goblins were using her as a mouthpiece all day long, which made even the gentle Regin Levi somewhat unhappy. However, out of consideration for her reputation, she couldn't refuse this former ally, so she decided to just brush it off.

However, since the topic had come up, Regin Levi thought for a moment and simply stated the conditions for planting goblins.

The God of Forging subtly indicated that the main enemy of His goblin race was the forest elves, and that the long war had been focused on beating up the forest elves, without actively targeting humans.

Even if there is any impact, it will be an unintentional one. As compensation, the goblins are willing to send a dedicated teaching team to help humans learn the basics of goblin mechanical engineering from scratch.

Once humanity masters those things, then humanity will develop at an even faster pace.

To be honest, Regin Levy was also surprised.

The fact that the goblins could still make such a decision, knowing that humans have superhuman learning abilities, is undoubtedly a decision that will be remembered with infamy for generations to come.

Helping a future enemy grow up is an extremely irresponsible act for their descendants.

If humans surpass goblins in mechanical engineering, the future of goblins will become precarious.

But they didn't seem to care too much. They could foresee that this war was likely to be an extremely fierce one, and that more than one god might fall and many races might perish.

Even if they are cursed by future generations, they still need a future. If they are all wiped out at this point in time, then no descendants will have anything to curse them.

Nevertheless, Reginlevy knew that Mara would still ignore this highly attractive offer.

This guy didn't care about this at all. Regin Levi even felt that this guy who only had the power of revenge didn't care much about the development of humanity, and only had the idea of ​​carrying out the act of revenge.

Another thing is that this guy is just plain lazy.

If He hadn't come knocking on His door in the first place, even if He wanted the secret of the Dragon Spirit Seed, He would have only waited until He had destroyed the Dragon Spirit Seed before figuring out how to obtain it.

Under Regin Levy's unsurprised gaze, Mara answered without hesitation, "No need."

Regin Levi yawned elegantly, his long tail swaying casually. "Whatever."

"But we will inevitably face the frenzied attacks of those dwarves. I have seen the weapons they made with unactivated divine essence; they are terrifying."

“It doesn’t matter,” Mara replied, his tone as indifferent as ever. “Just run them over.”

Mara still doesn't pay much attention to them, even though the Divine Species are powerful beings born from the dissipated energy of the Star Cup.

However, it is still not enough to rival the enemies it once faced. Even now, with only a portion of its consciousness and energy, it still possesses immense power.

The moment He obtains the Star Cup is when humanity completes its revenge, and that time is not far off, it can even be said to be imminent.

What will humanity do after that?

Mara stated that after obtaining the Star Cup, He would carry out a transformation of humanity and the world.

As for the rest…

Mara believed that by using Rick's charms, he could obtain a lot of technology from that machine race, whose technology was far superior to that of any goblin race.

That would truly be a technological marvel.

"... "

A series of light footsteps approached, and several figures walked in from outside the main hall. They were somewhat surprised to see Regin Levi, but not too shocked, as dragon spirits were not uncommon in Eden.

However, her existence still troubled them somewhat. What they wanted to report next was classified information that was not suitable for outsiders to know.

Therefore, a group of figures dressed in black robes knelt down before Mara, raised their heads slightly, and cast reverent glances at Him.

"Lord Mara."

That ever-changing face, which appeared differently in the eyes of everyone except Rick, inspired a deep and awe in them.

The petite figure looked around at the scene, and after a moment's thought, she also knelt down.

The members of the Ghost Squad turned their gazes and subtly watched the Dragon King's figure.

Feeling the gazes around him, Regin Levi glanced at them disdainfully, then gracefully strode into the dimension of time and space, leaving behind a single sentence.

"Tch, isn't it just stirring up trouble? I see through this perfectly well, and they still want to get rid of me."

Her voice sent chills down the spines of almost everyone in the group, and some even considered taking action.

But Rick and the petite black figure beside him showed no interest. He knew he couldn't hide it from the dragon spirit, so he was unsurprised.

He looked up at the god who had once rescued him from the forest and quickly reported the mission they had accomplished.

"The Ghost Squad has fully revealed the Forest Elf's [Void Zero Blessing] to the Goblins, and informed them of the danger and objectives of the [Void Zero Blessing]. Several Goblin fleets have already begun operations and are heading towards the area we anticipated."

As he finished speaking, Rick revealed another piece of information about the plan to provoke conflict: "The Forest Elves have learned about the Bone Explosion, and the surviving Forest Elves plan to abandon the forest and avoid this war."

"but…"

Rick paused for a moment before continuing, "The forest elves don't have that opportunity; they'll just be trapped in the forest, exhausting the goblin race's strength as much as possible."

"The sparsely populated giant race also seems to be restless, while the vampire race, fairy race, demon race, and orc race are gradually gathering in the largest settlement."

Apart from the Tsukuyomi race, which has not appeared in the world for a long time, almost all races have taken action, and the number of small-scale skirmishes has increased dramatically.

Finally, Rick raised his head and revealed the most crucial piece of information: "The Skywing race's lair has entered this continent. The mad dogs of the God of War have smelled the scent of war and, drawn by it, have stepped into this battlefield without hesitation."

“As soon as the war begins,” Rick looked up at Mara, a smile playing on his lips, revealing boundless anticipation, “our pre-placed traffic control devices will be activated, converging the energy from the secret weapons of various races onto the planet to break through the Elven Corridor.”

"At that time, the Star Grail will appear, the Gods will be forced to enter the fray, and our people will take the opportunity to attack the Vampires and Orcs."

Finally, Rick clenched his fist, met the trusting and eager gazes around him, and said, "Let them swallow the anger we've been accumulating for tens of thousands of years!"

As the words fell, although everyone around felt incredibly excited, they all tried their best to suppress their emotions and wait for the deity's decision.

"... "

After a brief silence, Mara's approving voice rang out: "Well done."

Although the plan was too rudimentary and did not take many factors into account, it was at least a plan conceived by humankind itself, without Mara's involvement.

Mara didn't care what he would gain from achieving the plan, nor did he care about the possibility of the plan going wrong.

Humans just need to let go and do it.

Because Mara will provide a safety net for humanity.

Since He is willing to be humanity's avenger in this world, He will naturally protect humanity.

Once humanity has reached the limits of what it can do, Mara will take care of the rest.

Upon hearing this, all members of the Ghost Squad wore genuine smiles, feeling immensely proud to have received the approval of the god who saved humanity.

At this moment, they completely forgot the pain and hardship they had endured in carrying out the plan, their hearts filled only with pride and the excitement of about to pull their superior race down from its pedestal.

Mara's gaze swept over everyone, and he used the power of his life authority to heal their wounds. Then he said, "You are all very kind. Go and rest."

Humanity's revenge is imminent. All the preparations they have made are now complete, and all they need to do now is wait.

Upon hearing this, most of the Ghost Squad members respectfully rose and turned to leave the palace.

But Rick and the figure beside him simply stood up and did not leave with the others.

Only after everyone had left the palace did Rick look at Mara, hesitate briefly, then take a deep breath and ask, "Mara, are you... going to leave after the war ends?"

Chapter 177 On the Verge of Eruption

Rick looked up at Marana's sculpted silhouette against the night sky, the reflection of the stars enveloping her and casting a faint glow.

Beside Rick, the machine race he named Shubi looked up blankly at the divine race, awaiting His answer.

Although Shubi didn't know why Rick asked the question, Rick's affairs were her affairs, and she would seek the same answers that Rick wanted.

Meeting their gazes, Mara lowered his head slightly, revealing his ever-changing face clearly to them.

He did not answer, but his eyes emitted a faint light, which also enveloped Rick and Shubi. When the light faded, the two of them appeared on the star-shrouded mountain peak.

A massive void stretched across the sky, beyond which lay a starry expanse rarely seen by other races. In the distance, dark clouds, like splashes of ink, blanketed the sky, while bright lightning pierced through the overwhelming storm of spirit remains, which swept across the land like a blizzard.

A torrent of data flashed in Shubi's eyes. As an analytical being, she instinctively began to analyze everything that had just happened. Finally, through the spirit fluctuations, she successfully analyzed a spacetime transfer technique, which was similar to a portion of the energy of the dragon spirit species recorded in the records.

Rick was stunned for a moment before quickly coming to his senses. At the edge of the mountain peak, he saw a figure he hadn't seen for over a decade—it was Mara in human form.

Without hesitation, he turned and walked in that direction, came to Mara's side, saw him sitting on the edge of the mountaintop, thought for a moment, and then sat down as well.

Rick turned to look at Mara, whose appearance was exactly the same as the one he had seen when he was young: short black hair and an ordinary face.

Many people say that Mara presents different images in the eyes of different people.

Kron said that Lord Mara was a handsome white-haired man with slightly feminine features and a faint smile on his lips; one could tell at a glance that he was extraordinary and mysterious.

Some people say he was a kind old man, a muscular man with a murderous aura, or someone who looked like a demon, with a gaunt face like a skeleton and eyes that always blazed with hatred.

But Rick always felt that, in his own eyes, Mara's ordinary posture was the real him.

His wheat-colored skin was slightly dark, his short black hair looked as if it had been cut by a sharp weapon, and his arms and face appeared somewhat rough. In a way, Mara looked like an ordinary person who had worked hard in primitive times.

Mara's response came only after Rick and Shubi sat down one after the other, letting the breeze carry specks of spirit remains across their bodies.

“You’re very perceptive, Rick.” Mara turned to look at Rick. “I will indeed leave here after helping humanity take revenge, but whether I will return is still unknown.”

Mara's response made Rick's heart sink. Although he had already guessed this possibility from some clues, he was still caught off guard by the definite answer.

Ever since the human population gradually expanded, Kron's father had always hoped that Mara could personally lead the human race and provide them with various kinds of guidance.

But Mara refused; He simply sat on His throne. The only time He interfered with humanity's choices was when Rick became the leader after he turned sixteen.

For more than a decade, He watched as humanity experienced various conflicts due to friction and organizational issues, even nearly resulting in bloodshed, without intervening to stop them.

Rick, who had always followed Mara, was unaware of the underlying ideas. But after Eden crashed to the ground and struggled to get back on track, it continued to grow and prosper even without divine guidance.

Rick gradually understood everything: Mara was teaching humanity to adapt to the ability to continue moving forward without panicking even after losing their gods.

It seems He will not stay with humanity for long and will depart one day; moreover, this day may come without warning.

Gradually, Rick became relieved, and after receiving a positive answer, he felt at ease.

"As expected, I guessed right."

He laughed and said, "From the very beginning, you've been preparing humanity for the possibility of returning to a state without divine assistance at any time, haven't you?"

"It seems you've succeeded."

Beside him, Hughie tilted her head, looking somewhat puzzled.

Mara nodded, giving his approval to the young man he had high hopes for: "Humans have their own path to walk. You may stumble and fall in the future, and you may even suffer a great setback, but in the end, you have to walk it on your own."

"In that case, why not let humanity unite and begin to explore the world with its own hands and wisdom?"

This was exactly what Mara thought. Although it was the first time He had so openly favored a race, He did not significantly interfere with humanity's progress.
