God of Tricksters

Theo currently stood on top of a boulder, looking at the people using their weapons or power to move the dirt, branches, and a few other small stuff to make an artificial dam.

They even reinforced it with their skills, making sure this dam could withstand a huge amount of water.

Of course, it couldn't be compared to the dams on Earth, but it should be enough to flood the settlement on the bottom of the hill.

After finishing the dam, they finally rested for tomorrow since the sun was about to set.

Theo waited for the night to arrive before he created another clone and handed him his night vision and Skylink to take some proofs from the underground facility.

With the night vision, he also didn't need to use the lamp which required his Telekinesis to bring around, so his only problem was the consumption of maintaining his clone, which wasn't that big of a deal for the current Theo, especially when he didn't do anything in the camp.

Ava helped him escape this camp to make sure no one noticed him. He succeeded and arrived in front of the hole again.

Theo jumped without hesitation while putting on his night vision to see in the darkness.

The moment he arrived at the bottom, he finally saw the real appearance of the tunnel.

The floor was made of rock and dirt that seemed similar to the material on the walls. He didn't care much about it because he already knew that the tunnel was for the hobgoblins, so the fifteen-foot ceiling was understandable.

After a while, Theo returned to the previous spacious room and was stunned by what he found there.

It turned out the room was bigger than he expected. He couldn't even see the end of the room with his night vision. The length was more than three hundred feet, so Theo immediately ignored it for the time being and looked at the ones in his surroundings, especially whether the room had cameras or not. He found and confirmed that they were not active, so it would be fine.

On his left were several tubes he had found earlier. Because the facility had stopped running, all the materials inside were either floating to the top or sinking to the bottom. The materials were body parts, but he also found a human body instead of a goblin body.

There were also several desks, and he could start approaching them with his night vision. He walked to the right and stared at the desk with a few pieces of paper. He could even find a few devices related to this facility. Unfortunately, the device was completely locked and he had no idea how to get the data inside.

In the end, he gathered it on the side as it might be his 'weapons' later. After that, he turned to the papers and started reading them.

As he expected from a research paper, he understood none of them because of many weird terms mentioned in the paper. He continued reading it without much hope, but something picked his attention.

"The experiment is successful. We have managed to put human genetics inside a goblin's body. There is an improvement in their intelligence level and their body seems to become bigger. There is a possibility of combining two genetics together, especially with the goblin's body because it has the most universal gene."

"What the heck?" Theo widened his eyes and his body started shaking. "Combining human and goblin's genes? Was this the reason why the hobgoblin could use some tricks to trap me? Enrica also told me that the hobgoblin was far stronger than usual. But after fighting for a whole day, I didn't see normal goblins that seemed to be stronger…"

Theo raised his vision and looked at some papers lying around. Although he couldn't get all the data from the device, he could still learn something with those papers, so he steeled his resolve in investigating this matter.

To his surprise, he found even more absurd things as he made his way to the other side.

"The goblin is determined to have the most universal gene as it can fuse with lots of different genes."

"The success rate of combining a goblin and an eagle is eighty percent."

"Every time the goblin receives another gene, they will start evolving to a hobgoblin."

"The combination process between a goblin and a Mera Wolf has succeeded. It increases the goblin's speed and some wolf fur seems to start growing on the goblin's body."

"There is a possibility of using the goblin gene to make an interspecies birth. The human may be able to get a natural night vision by mixing a cat's gene and a human's gene into an embryo. The goblin gene will assemble the genes and make them in harmony."

He couldn't help but think about the mix of a human and a cat. The picture in his mind was a female with cat ears and tail, but he soon shook that thought off as it was nothing but fantasy. He came up with another more realistic image. It was a man with a cat's head and a human body covered with a cat's fur. He was ugly and would be stuck with that kind of body for the rest of his life which was awful.

However, he soon found something he couldn't ignore.

"We have managed to combine five genes at the same time to this goblin. He has evolved drastically from a normal goblin to a hobgoblin before becoming a goblin king. It's possible to raise a powerful army of goblin kings that are stronger than the normal goblin kings."

"This goblin may be a special one because no other goblin has succeeded, but the possibility is there. The level 400 goblin has become a level 500 hobgoblin. After that, he evolves once again to a level 600 goblin king. This may be the evolution process of a Normal Class monster to Rare Class to General Class."

"The power of the goblin king with five genes inside his body is astonishing. He can easily fight a level 650 monster and equal to a level 700 monster. His five aspects are powerful as well. If we continue this research, there is a possibility of creating a goblin that has the power of a Mythical Rank Expert."

When he reached this point, Theo couldn't help but shout. "Are you freaking kidding me?"
