"Whoosh"
Instantly, a golden light, mysterious and sacred, shot forth from Naruto's right eye, sweeping over the race card. It was like a small stone thrown into a mirror-calm lake, stirring up faint ripples.
Immediately after, Naruto found that he could actually modify the content of this card.
"I can modify it, but each character feels like a huge, heavy mountain, an unmoving gear, difficult to push."
"With the current pupil power of Kotoamatsukami, the number of characters I can modify is very limited; I cannot erase and rewrite."
Naruto, who had initially been somewhat surprised, felt his heart sink slightly, and his brows furrowed.
He had tried to "erase" the three characters [Goblin] from the card and re-enter them, but he found that those mere three characters were like the tip of an iceberg; what was hidden beneath the surface was not the card, but the vast rules of the Goblin Slayer World.
"Since that's the case, I'll just make a simple modification."
Naruto's eyes gleamed, especially his right Mangekyo Sharingan, which shone with a brilliant golden light, illuminating the race card.
"The race name is the most important and the most difficult to modify, representing everything about the race. So I should start with the race description. A completely different race description is the birth of a new race."
A strange, mischievous smile appeared at the corner of Naruto's mouth, and a peculiar light surged in his eyes.
He began to modify it.
He tried to make earth-shattering changes to the race content with the fewest possible characters.
For example, changing "all males" to "all females."
Changing male to female—a difference of one character, but an earth-shattering change.
Then, changing "likes to plunder female adventurers of other races" to "all male adventurers."
"My male compatriots of the Goblin Slayer World, you will suffer a bit."
Immediately after—
Naruto's gaze fell upon the three characters at the very top of the card—[Goblin].
Only when the race name changed would the final step of modifying the race be complete!
"I don't have much pupil power left; I can only change one character."
"If that's the case, I want there to be no more Goblins in this world!"
Under Naruto's furious gaze, the three large characters [Goblin] on the card blurred and changed. The character 'Lin' (Forest) in Goblin (Goblin) became 'Lin' (Lin).
Goblin (Goblin)! (Note: The Chinese character for 'Lin' (Lin) is a common female name, thus implying a female Goblin.)
The moment the modification was completed, there were no more Goblins in the world; the Goblin race was exterminated, and only the brand new race, the Goblins (Goblin), existed.
"Buzz—!"
The blood-colored clock dissipated, and Naruto withdrew his Blood Demon Art—Time Etching Seal. The previously static time flowed again, and the race card erupted with countless green lights, spreading out in all directions.
In an instant, a strange power swept across the entire Goblin Slayer World like a tide!
At this moment—in a certain underground cave, a Goblin, who was about to smash a crude wooden club onto a dwarf's head, suddenly froze. Its gaunt, green body began to swell and twist as if being inflated, its chest bulged, its Adam's apple disappeared, its roars became shrill, and its red eyes were filled with confusion and terror.
Although its body became a little larger, its strength inexplicably decreased.
In the forest outside the Border Town, a Goblin squad chasing a young female adventurer simultaneously fell to their knees in pain. Their bodies were undergoing the same bizarre changes: male characteristics rapidly receded, and female characteristics irreversibly emerged.
They looked at each other, at their changed bodies, and let out confused and shrill screeches.
In the depths of a giant nest, a Goblin Hero, who was about to commit an atrocity, was just grinning menacingly, preparing to charge in, but then stared in shock at its prey beneath it, finding that it could no longer enter.
This was a terrifying change that completely overturned all its cognition. From newborn small Goblins to Goblin Paladins who had evolved to high-tier species, none could escape the change.
In the entire world, in every corner, every Goblin, regardless of strength or size, was at this moment forcibly and permanently changed from a [male] race to a [female] race—[Goblins (Goblin)]!
Above the Green Moon.
The crimson light receded like a tide in an instant.
"Listen—ah—?"
The Goblin God, who was pouncing on Naruto, suddenly froze in mid-air.
Its ordinary Goblin form began to fluctuate violently, like a bad signal on a screen.
The endless source of malice, brutality, and lewd power that originally came from the entire male Goblin race, seemed to be completely severed!
Green energy light flickered wildly, bright and dim.
Its aura plummeted at an unprecedented speed!
The Goblin God lowered its head, looking at its still gaunt, yet somehow different, green hands. In its small red eyes, for the first time, there was no longer cruelty and indifference, but extreme confusion and bewilderment.
It could not understand what had happened, only feeling that the foundation supporting its existence was collapsing, and the "lines" connecting countless members of its race were breaking and degenerating one by one.
Immediately after, came terror!
It felt the true, cold shadow of "death" approaching as never before!
It seemed to no longer possess the cheat-like ability to resurrect infinitely, because the concept of [Goblin] that it represented had been fundamentally modified!
This [Goblin God] had lost its basis for existence!
"Heh heh, Goblin God? If Goblins don't exist, what kind of god are you?"
"Now—"
Naruto's voice rang out coldly. The Senjutsu Chakra in his hand condensed again, forming a sharp blade of light.
"You are no longer an 'undying concept'."
"Just an error data that is about to be purged!"
Before he finished speaking, a golden flash swept past!
"Pfft—!"
Without the support of endless power, without the blessing of an immortal concept, the Goblin God's body became incredibly fragile.
The Senjutsu light blade easily sliced through its throat and severed its spine!
It opened its mouth, seemingly wanting to let out a final roar or question, but in the end, only green data streams gushed out.
The Goblin God's eyes stared fixedly at Naruto, filled with incomprehensible terror and bewilderment. Finally, its pupils completely dimmed.
Its body began to collapse, like a weathered sand sculpture, turning into the purest green light particles, slowly dissipating.
This time, the Goblin God did not resurrect. The Underground City pop-up appeared as expected—[Eliminated a Goblin God, Experience +1,000,000 points]
[Hidden Quest "Godslayer" completed]
[Obtained 5,000,000 Experience Points, obtained 200,000 Exchange Vouchers, obtained red quality item "Goblin Race Card" * 1]
Silence enveloped the Green Moon.
In the dark space, only the upgrading white light, invisible to the naked eye, continuously rose from Naruto's body, flickering like stars in the darkness.
This mission, in total, yielded 6,000,000 experience points.
Even though subsequent level-ups required an unimaginably huge amount of experience, the massive amount of experience gained this time still allowed Naruto to experience what it was like to level up crazily!!!
