The villagers eyed the giant pig and spat to the ground. "I said . . . Now that you are reduced to nothing but a mortal's pet, we will roast you after killing your master. And then we will sell your mana core!"

They couldn't kill the God before because of its high ATP, so they chained it instead. And since the God refused to help them, they might as well kill it now that it was killable. Then roast it for dinner and preserve its meat for the apocalyptic event that was bound to happen before selling its mana core in towns after.

Its mana core would surely fetch a very high price, enough to restore the village to its former glory!

----

Mana Core? I wondered as I listened to the villagers. It was the second time that I had heard about it.

". . ."

It seemed like it didn't consider me as its master. It even attacked me a while ago.

I sighed, raffling my fringe.

What good was it if I couldn't order it around?

I wanted to retort because it felt like it didn't care what would happen to me, as evident by how it just left me here on my own. But I decided to shut my mouth. I didn't want to waste anymore saliva and time procrastinating.

I was going to head back to the village when an earthquake rattled the ground, followed by a series of explosions and thick black smoke clouded the sky.

W-what . . . what happened?

[You have FAILED the Normal Quest, EXTERMINATE GOBLINS x10].

Egh?

I was flooded with notifications on my screen that I didn't know which one to open up first.

What's going on?

". . ."

I honestly didn't expect that.

Without checking my loot, I hurriedly went back to the village. With my AGI, I got there in a matter of fifteen minutes. I was near the cave's exit anyway, and the forest monsters and beasts seemed to all have gone quiet.

Was it because of the rampaging God?

When I was back in Euclid Village, or what was supposed to be the village, what stood before me was nothing but barren, scorched lands and a gigantic Pig that ran havoc everywhere, ramming trees and trampling everything in its path.

What the fuck?!
