Chapter 527 Greem’s Resolve
Mary wasn’t the only one who had gotten into a fight at this particular moment.
The goals of both parties were the same. As such, the chances of them running into each other was immense.
As the invaders, sweeping aside all obstacles was a task they had to complete. Thus, almost four or five of such battles had coincided in the black underground tunnels.
Of course, without exceptions, the adepts were the ones who emerged victoriously.
The power difference between both parties was obvious!
The dragonborn might all have possessed First Grade powers at the very minimum, but that was only their innate power manifested by their muscular bodies and powerful bloodline. As a result, the way they fought leaned more towards the basic instincts of a wild beast.
The adepts were vastly superior to them in this particular aspect.
The immense danger that had appeared in the Goblin Plane might seem to have been caused by Gazlowe’s selfishness and recklessness. However, what truly directed and pushed things in this direction was still that intangible power of Fate.
The appearance of magic energy. The debut of the space furnace. Even the conflict between that old goblin and the goblin royalty; traces of Fate could be vaguely seen in all of these events.
An ordinary person would have no other option but to sigh in resignation and launch themselves into the turmoil, even if they saw the flow of Fate. It was their world, and this was their life. They couldn’t possibly sit by and watch as their loved ones were swept away by the river of Fate. Involving themselves and throwing themselves into the flow became their only option.
Only outsiders like Alice could ride the waves of Fate with a stance that was both detached and involved. People like her could recklessly change the direction the river of Fate flowed.
Much like the three paths that Alice had pointed out to Greem, the choice of each distinct tunnel meant pushing the Fate of the Goblin Plane on entirely different paths.
Choosing to save Princess Vanessa would undoubtedly be choosing to support the conservatives of the Goblin Plane. That would allow the conservatives to retain a bit of their former strength in the flood of Fate. This way, even if Gazlowe’s ritual succeeded, two separate goblin factions would still exist in the Goblin Plane.
However, Greem had no attachments to the Goblin Royal Family to speak of. He couldn’t be bothered to help them.
Choosing to attack the planar hall would undoubtedly incite an irreparable conflict between the adepts and the Dragonborn. When that happened, the only one to benefit would be old goblin Gazlowe. Not only would he gain the most significant chance of extending his lifespan, but he would also be able to devour the two intruding forces and allow him to become the true heir of the plane.
However, the possibility of such a scenario was almost zero. Unless Greem experienced a stroke, there was no way he would be dumb and generous enough as to offer himself up as a sacrifice for that greedy goblin.
After much consideration, the only thing that fit the adepts’ benefit was to confront Gazlowe, the temporary ‘heir of the plane.’ As long as Greem and his party were able to defeat Gazlowe and successfully route the dragonborn army, they would be able to obtain rule over the Goblin Plane through this battle.
You pay the price for what you wish to obtain!
There was no such thing as an unearned victory in this world.
Even with Alice’s help to choose the best path, what awaited him at the end was still a risky and bloody battle.
Thus, when Greem walked down that path with Alice’s hand in his, he had already resolved to fight to the death. Even if what awaited him there was a wall of steel and iron, he would smash a way through with his life and blood.
That was because this was the path that he had chosen for himself!
