Chapter 17: 14 Upgrades
(Forgive me for the info dump)
"The best way to stop a conflict is to have control over it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Congratulations on your ascension to the Lord!
-Title Upgraded: Chief
- Territory expansion successful: Forbidden Forest, Hog Mountains.
- New skill [Territorial Awareness] acquired.
-Congratulations on unlocking your divinity [Clash]
-Soke troops have received a gift and evolved.]
It has been over a day since I completed my ascension and it feels like I am a completely different being, as if some restraint has been lifted from me, and my energy reserves have increased vastly almost fivefold from my previous self and I could feel a connection to infinity dimension strengthen as now I could draw magicules from there but to a limited extent.
But I am sure I can use [Rengoku-Avatar] for MUCH longer now, while my magicule capacity is nowhere near the powerhouses of this world, I am pretty sure I can become one if I go in the right direction, I think I am now much stronger than the demon lord seeds and weaker or at the same level at Luminous Valentine a true demon lord.
I can now feel a strong connection with the land, probably due to my new ability/skill [Territorial Awareness]. It gives me information about almost everything happening in my territory, making it almost impossible for any spy or ambush to happen in my territory.
I can monitor my troops or people from anywhere and contact them. Combined with my upgraded teleportation command, I can teleport armies and resources from anywhere in my territory and I can keep an eye on enemy movements if I allow them to enter my territory or they manage to, somehow.
Not only in defense, but this skill is a cheat when it comes to the economy. It can give me a general idea of resource locations.
And now the main thing that can be considered my biggest power boost is my divinity [Clash]. I did not think it would be this easy to unlock my divinity, but it is good. Who wants to give useless tests?

As expected, my power level increased after skipping a complete stage. The Infinite World was a very good upgrade. Now, I can use Flat World for purposes other than training, like farming, and in case of attacks, keep my people inside it; I am already excited to see how further it will evolve. Maybe someday I will be able to get Infinity World. That way, I will have further access to nearly unlimited resources.
Back to my divinity, I think it would be better if I took a test now, but I can't go back to the past, so I decided to meditate and think about my divinity.
A clash can represent different meanings depending on interpretation. It can be the collision of two objects or opposing forces; it can be interpreted as war, battle, conflict, or engagement, and if I take it further, war creates chaos due to its unpredictability and nature.
I could sense various conflicts occurring on the Clash continent, most were minor ones like a brawl, monster fights, etc. But the largest sources were the Royal Empire, Dragon Cliffs, and Goblin Forests.
I can even feel the previous battle and the chaotic energy generated by the battle of two opposing armies. It was MUCH less than the three places mentioned above, which is probably because the battle didn't even last a whole day, though the area where stronger individuals fought was a little richer in this case.
The energy I can feel that it is under my command, and I can use it to strengthen myself or create conflicts. Or cease conflicts.
My mastery is pitiful since I recently unlocked it, but I can feel my control increasing; I could feel more existences that are 'superior' to me in this case, for now.
I tried to feel further the Clash continent.
"....."
My mind blanked out as if I was in a blank space, all I could feel was emptiness or a state of nothingness, it was a terrifying feeling as if I was losing my sense of self, fortunately, it only lasted for a couple of seconds, my back was covered in a cold sweat from the experience, I opened my eyes to see my father having his usual cocky smirk.
"Well, well, well, what were you thinking when you were trying to go past through the Barrier I put?" He asked, already knowing what happened.
"I didn't expect something like that to happen." I shrugged.
"If you want to go see the world out, the side you can't; now you are not weak that you would be crushed by some bug there." Well, I was planning to do that once I take care of goblins.
"How I will go past that barrier?" I ask the million-dollar question.
"You have a port right?" He asked the obvious but still, I replied
"Yes, I have a port,"
"So use it. You have a ship, or do I have to give that too?"
I looked at him weirdly. "So I can take a ship from there and go to Magic Continent?"
He looked at me deadpan and said, "Obviously, why do you think you made the special port?"
'How would I know that?'
Before I could ask anything else he kicked me out of MY mind space.
I am already feeling excited to go there now that I am not 'weak', and once I reach there, I will be able to teleport from here and there, I hope.
I checked my Village and Clan-
[Village and Clan]
[Clan- Anantraj. Rank- Silver II
[Territories:- Forbidden Forest (60%)
- Hog Mountains (45%- Bandit's territory)

[Resources:- Gold: 500,000

[Army:- Hog-Ram Riders 100 (D+)

"Hmm, everything is good," Leo says; his territory is now the same size as Moon City and Frozen Peak combined, with most of the land being forest.
He then looked at the details of his newly evolved troops-
[Some troops met the evolution criteria and have undergone evolution.
-Super Barbarians 5 (B+)
-Sneaky Archers 2 (B-)
-Mikhail and Alexie -Berserkers
-Super Knight 1 (A-)
-Atlas -Great Giant< Super Giant (A+)]
-Venelana (E+)- Master Chef< Grandmaster Cook (D+)
(Venelana due to being Leo's partner)
This made Leo realize that his ascension also affected his troops, similar to a Harvest Festival, but the effect was nowhere near it.
The Super Barbarians (SB) are similar to Raged Barbarians, but their Rage ability [Unlimited Rage] quite literally gives them limitless rage, strengthening them till they engage in battle, but the longer its duration, the more it puts strain on their body.
(You can see the auxiliary chapter for a more detailed description)
"With these guys, I can rest assured that the strain issue should be focused on; the backlash seems more severe than expected," Leo plans to discuss it with Gran.
Super Archers (SA): Their ability [Multishot] allows them to shoot three arrows per shot; there are variations available for it, and their strength also increased. Now Leo can provide them with more advanced equipment and armor.
Keeping this note in mind Leo inspects other troops.
Log Slayer (LS) evolution of Berserkers they got multiple abilities like [Slayer's Roar] that strikes fear in enemies and stuns them for two seconds, then [Log Calls] summons ten Logs to trample over enemies a weird but handy ability to clear fodders, especially goblins.
Super Giant (SG) Atlas evolved, though my ascension didn't play much part other than giving him a nudge, probably because he ate some of the experiments of the Wizard Trio, and fortunately, it didn't kill him.
With the evolution, he got an ability that decreases his size from 5 meters to 2 meters while retaining his strength and increasing his agility probably due to his fight with Daiki influenced this and his other ability [Big Heart] casts a protective aura around five meters radius any damage to any person under it will be transferred to him and they can be healed by absorbing his health, a perfect name this ability has.
Leo later complimented Atlas about his big heart ability in front of other troops, making the giant embarrassed. "My heart may be big, but my fists are bigger." He said, hitting the ground with his fists, causing an earthquake.
Then came Super Knight, Marshal he gained an ability [Shield Wall] that creates a shield around those who are two ranks weaker than him in a 100-meter radius that absorbs 70% of the damage and another ability [Knight's Oath] that allows him to swap places with these people the allies that have the shield around them collapsing.
Seeing the skill set, Leo felt confident that the villagers would be safe in their hands even if the goblins attacked.
Leo opened the [Quest] section -
[Quest- The Raid (After passing the Trial
Peace is always an illusion unless you have the power to turn it into reality.
Prepare your village and allies (if you have any) to face the spawns of greed.
Danger- B+ to A (Hazard class)
Enemy Deck - Goblin Family, ???, ???.
Rewards: Campaign Map Unlocked, Access to Goblín Family, ???, Access to Goblin's Treasure.
Time left: ??? (More than a week)]
"Ehh, there is no penalty now?" Leo exclaims, but thinking a few seconds, he realizes it made sense. After his subordinates were stronger than the Goblin Lord, so there is no way he would lose with this lineup.
"Why the hell I am waiting for them to attack?"
(Leo)
"I am pretty sure you are interested in taking your revenge Kira?" I said to the former bandit leader.
The caramel-skinned beauty looked into my eyes as if just believing what I was saying.
"Are you sure?" She asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, but make sure not to kill all of them; you can kill those who are loyal to the Goblin Lord, though beware of his skill."
Kanade another Otherworldler was quite skilled in information gathering and with my Wood Clones and Akali her efficiency increased threefold, according to the latest information the Goblin Lord has awakened some sort of skill after he was named by a Majin the skill was very similar but rip-off version of [Greed] of Marriabell Rosso but used like Orc Lord's [Starved] but no matter what it was nowhere near them not to mention goblins are pitifully weak they are not made for combat but entertainment.
But they can't be underestimated Kira's village's destruction is evidence of that.
Look at the Goblin Gang those guys are good comedians.
(Note:At least Clash of Clans ones are I mean Clash a Rama shows it pretty well)
But with their numbers and goblin elixir, they can be a threat, not to mention other members of the Goblin Family who can be a threat, fortunately, the stronger members do not think of the current Goblin Lord as their leader instead they follow some Goblin Queen, who is very well hidden so much that even Gran doesn't know much about her, though I think it is probably because Gran had not gone out of the cave for around 40 years, until recently.
The Goblins who follow Goblin Lord are corrupted with greed due to uncontrolled consumption of Goblin Elixir (GE? and can do anything to satiate their greed.
Goblin lord had 10 goblin generals, each ranking B+, and his o are at least B- but their strength is weakest of their tiers, and the rest of the Goblin force is barely D- after being strengthened by GE and Greed skill.
Kira, with my wood clones leading an army, would crush them.
"I will not disappoint you, my lord," for the first time, Kira spoke to me with so much respect and determination.
"You will attack them tomorrow, take anyone you find suitable for the task, and don't hesitate to call me if something unexpected happens."
"I will." She agreed.
"Sebast, Aika, and Naori, you will take care of the tribes of monsters and beast tribes in Kira's place." After delegating his work to others like always, Leo told about his 'trip' to Magic Continent. When hearing he was about to go through the ship, he called Thousand Sunny Gran and asked, "Do you know how to pilot a boat?"
Leo's excitement got brutally killed before Gran laughed
"Leo you don't know but the ship knows how to pilot itself so just think wherever you want to go and she will take you."
"You!"
A very shitty Chapter in my opinion I don't know what happened but forgive me, the next will
