We evil gods must hide.

Chapter 12 Lynch's Majesty

A dense, overwhelming force of faith poured directly into my brain.

A few particularly devout ones received +5 immediately.

[Name: Unknown]

[Race: Goblin (Elder)]

[Attributes: Strength 10, Stamina 5, Intelligence 50, Spirit 20, Agility 2]

[Note 1: The guy who almost became a sacrifice]

[Note 2: Intelligence is not the same as IQ]

Intelligence 50?

A storm raged in Lin Qi's heart.

Would such an old demon mistake a god?

Although he was puzzled, Lin Qi remained calm and composed, and said indifferently, "Get up."

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an indescribable arrogance and contempt.

Thousands of goblins stood straight, heads bowed low, not daring to breathe, and not daring to glance in his direction.

The old goblin trudged over, his back almost touching the ground: "Greetings, Your Majesty! I was unaware of your arrival; I have failed to greet you properly and deserve to die!"

"It's alright."

Lin Qi waved his hand dismissively, his gaze sweeping towards the teleportation portal. "What kind of trial are you talking about?"

"Your Majesty! This portal leads to your labyrinth! All the young warriors of my race must enter for trials! Those who emerge alive are the elite, to protect our people!"

Lin Qi almost burst out laughing.

So, this once-forgotten evil god's dilapidated faith harvesting ground has been turned into a testing ground by these goblins?

"Are there people undergoing trials inside right now?"

"Yes, yes! If you wish to go in and take a look, I'll have someone open the door right away!"

As the old goblin was about to turn around, Lynch raised his hand to stop him.

The old man looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Lin Qi's gaze was already fixed on the teleportation portal.

The reason wasn't that he was pretending to be profound, but rather that the portal was making some noise and was shaking.

Moreover, the shaking became increasingly noticeable.

A dazzling light shone from the depths of the portal, and a buzzing spatial roar made people dizzy.

Roar!

A fierce roar came from inside the door.

Lin Qi frowned.

That voice sounds so familiar.

It's Goblin Warrior Gudu.

Judging from the noise, although it was injured, its ferocity had not diminished at all.

The goblins instantly erupted in chaos, brandishing their weapons and howling, while only the old goblin remained obediently standing still, not daring to move.

The next second, the white light surged.

A figure flew out, passing over everyone's heads, and crashed into the stone wall behind Lin Qi with a muffled groan before slowly landing.

The magnificent armor was dented in several places and cracked beyond recognition. Blood flowed down the cracks, staining the stones on the ground red. His hair was a mess, his face was as white as paper, blood was still hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he was panting heavily, barely able to hold the sword in his hand.

Lin Qi saw the other person's face clearly and opened his mouth slightly.

Fiona?

How did she become like this?

But before he could react, the gurgling roar grew louder and louder, becoming clearly audible.

Its body was covered in wounds, its pale skin stained with blood and mud, its huge stone hammer gripped tightly, its strong chest heaving, and its breathing sounded like thunder.

The goblin warrior stared intently at Fiona with his beady eyes, dragging his giant hammer step by step, leaving a deep groove in the stone ground.

Judging from the way he looked, he wanted to smash Fiona into a pulp.

"Gudu Warriors!"

"It's the Gudu Warrior, the mighty Gudu!"

"Kill her! Kill this outsider!"

Driven by their bloodlust, the goblins screamed even louder, their eyes turning red, yet none dared to actually approach—when Gudu went berserk, he would even kill his own kind.

Fiona held the sword in one hand and wiped the blood from her face with the other. She tried to stand up by bracing herself against the ground, but as soon as she exerted force, she groaned, coughed, and fell heavily back down.

As she watched Gudu getting closer, a hint of stubbornness flashed in her eyes, but she still gritted her teeth, completely unaware of Lin Qi being surrounded by goblins not far away.

Gudu stopped in his tracks, a huge shadow looming over the girl's head, and swung his giant hammer down.

If this hits hard, even if Fiona has other trump cards, she won't be completely destroyed, but she will still suffer a severe blow.

"stop!"

Lin Qi suddenly spoke up and shouted loudly.

Gudu's movements froze instantly, and the giant hammer stopped in mid-air.

The goblin warrior turned his fierce gaze towards him.

It tilted its head and looked at Lin Qi, first pausing for a moment, then sniffing the air, as if recognizing this human who had once "pretended to be a statue" in the temple.

Its ferocity surged instantly, a low growl emanating from its throat, its eyes filled with greed: "Human! It's you! You can eat me!"

He threw the giant hammer aside and strode over, seemingly to grab Lin Qi.

The severe injury and bloodlust made its mind increasingly confused.

"Gulp! Get out of the way!"

"Don't be disrespectful to the gods!"

The old goblin was terrified, lunging forward to cling tightly to Gudu's arm, trembling like a leaf. "This is a god! Our god! If you dare lay a hand on a god, I'll skin you alive!"

Gudu struggled a few times, and even though it was so badly injured and its strength was greatly reduced, it still easily pushed the old goblin aside, grinned maliciously, and approached Lin Qi, its vicious eyes filled with a hint of greed.

He still thought the humans in front of him would taste especially delicious.

However, the black-haired human in front of him showed no fear or hesitation, and his expression remained unchanged, still calm and composed.

Gudu watched as he raised one hand, put two fingers together, and made a strange gesture.

"Memory deprivation".

The goblins looked at their "god" with awe, holding their breath and standing ramrod straight, as if the other was doing something extraordinary.

[Note: Skill activation failed after consuming 1000 Faith]

Gudu: ?

Cold sweat slowly appeared on Lin Qi's forehead, and the menacing Gudu was about to rush over.

"Memory stripping!"

"Memory stripping!"

"Memory stripping!"

He silently repeated it to himself again.

[Note: Skill activation failed after consuming 1000 Faith]

[Note: Skill activation failed after consuming 1000 Faith]

[Hint: Consuming 1000 Faith, Gudu has forgotten that it wanted to eat you.]

The terrifying goblin warrior's eyes gradually became dazed, and the hammer in his hand clattered to the ground, frightening the surrounding goblins into retreating.

Gudu stood there scratching his head, looking bewildered, blinking occasionally, looking like a goblin cub.

The other goblins looked at Lynch with awe.

In their eyes, the fearsome warrior had surrendered so easily, not daring to take a single step closer.

The gods are so powerful!

Lin Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the tension in his chest eased slightly, but in front of the green-skinned monsters, he still maintained his calm and composed demeanor, his eyelids slightly raised, his tone icy.

"Goblin, given that this is your first offense, I will forgive your sin for now."

He said coldly.

Gudu was even more at a loss. He scratched the wound on his chest with his still bleeding hand, wincing in pain, but he still couldn't remember what he had just thought.

"Quickly, quickly, send the warrior to heal his wounds!"

At this moment, the old goblin rushed up, his eyes shining, and kicked a few goblins a few times. The goblins then swarmed away, dazed and confused.

"My Lord God, the warrior has been undergoing trials for too long and is a little confused. Please don't blame him."

"Tie that human woman up and take her to the Gudu Warrior's house to be his food!"

"My lord, please come with me."

"etc."

Lin Qi suddenly spoke up.

The old goblin looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"This human woman is useful to me."

The old goblin's gaze lingered between the two for a moment, then, as if understanding something, quickly said, "It is an honor for this woman that the divine being has descended in human form to favor her!"

Lynch: "..."

However, he did not provide an explanation.

"Let's call it a day."

He waved his hand, signaling the goblins not to crowd around there.

"But, my lord, this woman is very strong and still has the power to resist. You are a new descent and your body is weak. I'm afraid..." The old goblin frowned, a hint of worry on his face. He tentatively spoke, taking a small step forward as if to offer some advice.

The old goblin was somewhat worried.

This guy is quite thorough in his work.

Lin Qi glanced at him, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. This glance made the old man's smile even brighter, and he bent over even lower.

"No need to worry."

He shook his head, walked over to the heavily injured Fiona, winked at her, and whispered, "Can you still hold on? I'll take you to get healed."

However, when Fiona looked up, her gaze towards him was no different from that towards a goblin—full of vigilance and murderous intent.

She instinctively shrank back, then with her last ounce of strength picked up the sword, its tip pointing at Lin Qi. Her voice was hoarse but resolute: "Who are you? Don't come any closer! Are you with these demons?"

Lin Qi's expression froze instantly.

My heart skipped a beat.

I realized it immediately.

It’s over.

This guy has lost his memory again, and he thinks I'm one of those monsters with the green-skinned ones.

"Memory stripping!"

resignedly.

Lynch used this move on Fiona.

[Hint: Consuming 1000 Faith, Fiona has forgotten that you are a bad person]

The girl also became confused.

Wow, this went so smoothly?

It seems this girl is badly injured.

Lin Qi thought to himself.

"A few of you, help me carry her."
