Chapter Eighty-Three: Spider Queen – [Rose]

It’s her!
When the other obstacles on the battlefield were cleared away, Soren finally saw the appearance of the Drow who had been imprisoned.
In an instant, Soren’s body trembled involuntarily, and a hint of subtle fear and dread surfaced in his eyes. There were not many entities within the entire multiverse that could invoke fear in him, and it seemed that only one being in the Underdark could make Soren truly afraid!
That is the [Spider Queen] – Rose!
The absolute ruler of the Underdark, the supreme sovereign of the Hell Plane.
Once the Elf Goddess, now the Spider Queen.
From an external perspective, the Spider Queen should be an incredibly beautiful woman.
No matter how the outside world defamed her, calling her looking like a giant spider, one unchangeable fact remains: the Spider Queen was, after all, once the goddess of the Elven pantheon. As the first wife of the chief god of the Elven pantheon, she was almost more beautiful than the vast majority of goddesses. Thus, anyone who saw the true form of the Spider Queen would be shocked by her stunning beauty; even in her Drow form, her compelling charm could not be concealed.
She is one of the two most beautiful women in the Bottomless Abyss!
Also, she is one of the two most terrifying women in the Bottomless Abyss.
The other is the Succubus Queen, also a terrifying existence that Soren deeply feared. Since the Spider Queen brought her divine realm, [Hell], down to the Bottomless Abyss, the subtle struggle between these two terrifying goddesses has never ceased. The Spider Queen is undoubtedly an ambitious goddess, and her cruelty, cunning, and malice are enough to make everyone feel apprehensive. As for the Succubus Queen, it goes without saying that she transformed from a coveted plaything among demon lords into the formidable Fallen Demon Goddess of the Bottomless Abyss, having schemed to annihilate two generations of demon princes. She is definitely a nightmare for many demon lords.
Soren’s apprehension towards them is not merely based on their power but is more due to their cruelty and trickery!
The Spider Queen is the goddess who loves weaving schemes the most.
They actually want to kill the Spider Queen?!
Soren’s mind raced without needing to think; today’s battle would undoubtedly end in failure. The Spider Queen cannot be killed; her past failures were merely due to standing against the majority of gods. Moreover, the Saint’s Cataclysm has not fully begun, and even if the Spider Queen manifests in the Material Plane, her connection to her divine realm, [Abyssal Hell], is still intact. A god who can mobilize terrifying powers from her divine realm cannot be easily killed by others!
“Go!”
The effect of the Clockwork Nirvana lasted only one second before Soren seized Little Dragon beside him and frantically retreated backward.
Such an assassination would only thoroughly enrage the Spider Queen!
Once the Spider Queen’s wrath flares, staying here would risk being collateral damage.
“Arcane Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon IV charging complete!”
“Locking onto the dimensional portal marker! … Launch countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 …”
Unknown Half-Plane.
At the pinnacle of the Arcane Tower, a terrifying energy was gathered and ultimately transformed into a purple beam that shot out.
The trajectory of the Arcane Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon IV cut through the air, and within its trajectory was an already opened interdimensional spatial door. The purple energy beam pierced through space and, in the next moment, appeared on the battlefield of the Underdark. Subsequently, a tangible divine power field emerged around the Spider Queen’s body. The energy beam from the Arcane Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon IV violently collided with the divine power field around the Spider Queen, the terrifying force causing the entire space to tremble, as if everything around was twisting and folding.
“Tower Spirit Four, calculate the target’s divine power field depletion! …”
“Energy consumption progress of the Arcane Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon IV at 90%, 80%, 70%! … Target’s divine power field remaining strength at 70%, 60%, 50%! …”
“Attention!”
“Target’s divine power field has dropped to 30%! … Expected to dissipate in three seconds! … Sword Saint, prepare for battle! …”
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds!
The divine power field activated by the Spider Queen gradually weakened, while the energy beam from the Arcane Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon IV also dimmed. Just as the shield of the Spider Queen’s divine power field completely disappeared, another portal opened in front of her.
“Tower Spirit Five, take over portal permissions! …”
“Calculating space marker! … Opening portal! … Extracting energy from the Element Pool! … [Elemental Fission Wave Blade] charging! … Current charging progress at Artifact I, Artifact II, Artifact III, Artifact IV, Artifact V! … Element Pool energy depleted! … [Elemental Fission Wave Blade] charging complete! …”
Time passed second by second.
The hybrid Orc Sword Saint had long been waiting dozens of kilometers away. He wielded a peculiar hilt inscribed with countless runes, possessing a certain special silvery quality. This hilt had no blade, but in a strange glow, an immensely powerful energy was transmitted to the gem at the center of the hilt, revealing a straight-edged sword wholly composed of energy. This peculiar energy blade’s power continued to strengthen, ultimately bending the surrounding light, shimmering like a strange flow.
“[Elemental Fission Wave Blade] can last for ten seconds!”
“Sword Saint! … Whether this plan succeeds or fails now depends on you! …”
A weary metallic voice sounded.
The hybrid Orc’s eyes erupted with a penetrating brilliance, and in the next moment, he transformed into a streak of light, rushing into the portal before him.
Sword Saint.
Among all melee professionists, he possesses the strongest explosive power.
No melee profession can match the Sword Saint’s explosive potential, and only they can easily cleave through the energy protective barriers of spellcasters.
No melee professional can compare to the Sword Saint in damage output.
The legendary Sword Saint is one of the few capable of instantly killing the divine avatars of saints; even after advancing to the legendary domain, they remain fragile. (Note: The legendary Sword Saint still cannot wear armor.)
A beam of light streaked through the air!
—— “Breath Slash!”
—— “Weakness Insight!”
This seemingly unadorned attack contained the most lethal strike. The hybrid Orc Sword Saint’s figure streaked through the air, and in the next moment, the strange energy blade had already pierced through the Spider Queen’s body, passing directly through her heart and leaving a massive gaping hole behind. However, there was no blood at the wound, as the searing energy had already evaporated everything.
Success?!
The battlefield fell silent; the Sword Saint’s offensive launched at the moment the divine power field fractured.
“Did we succeed?”
A voice tinged with hesitation echoed; among those present, all were legendary-level professionists, and the absence of any life force from the target could be felt instantly.
The target seemed to have really been killed!
But they could hardly believe they so easily defeated the legendary Spider Queen.
Even though they had planned for this opportunity for over a century and simulated the peak assassination tactics of the Arcane Empire era, they had even risked entering the [Clockwork Nirvana’s Mechanical Mirror]!
Yet now, it seemed they had truly killed the target. Everyone present still found it hard to believe.
At that moment.
A cold and urgent voice suddenly rang out: “Unknown energy reaction! Unknown energy reaction!”
“Target exhibits unknown high-energy reaction! …”
“Half-plane energy rapidly depleting! … Current remaining energy at 30%, 20%, 10%! … Half-plane confinement failure! … Unknown plane incursion energy detected! … Half-plane experiencing unknown mutation! … Unknown dark energy is eroding the half-plane! … The half-plane is collapsing! …”
“Alarm! Alarm!”
“Combat plan failed! … All units prepare to retreat! …”
Time froze at that moment.
The Spider Queen, who had lost her life force, suddenly opened her eyes. A terrifying divine light flickered in her gaze, and in an instant, her shattered body rapidly repaired itself, while eight hideous, terrifying spider legs appeared behind her. An unknown energy reflection slowly emerged, and it seemed a spatial rift opened behind the Spider Queen, revealing a land of black evil where countless beings resided; they were all horrific existences to mortals.
“Kekeke! …”
A cold and cruel female voice emerged as the Spider Queen slowly opened her eyes, a cruel smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. With a gentle wave of her hand, the space around twisted, and the Orc Sword Saint’s figure froze in place. In the next moment, he transformed into thousands of neatly arranged chunks of flesh scattered about, as she looked down at everyone on the battlefield with a sneer, saying, “So it’s the remnants of the Arcane Empire!”
“Without even a Floating City! … You think to rely on this broken copper and iron to kill me? … You are truly too naive! …”
Crack.
The Spider Queen gently clenched her fist, instantly turning two legendary challenge-level Arcane Power Armors into heaps of scrap metal.
An incomprehensible domain enveloped the nearby space.
All portals closed in an instant. The unknown domain energy eroded this material world, as if isolating it in another space.
“Ridiculous spatial techniques!”
A hint of scorn appeared on the Spider Queen’s face as she slowly spoke, “The only unexpected thing is the [Clockwork Nirvana]! … I thought the [Time Seer] had all fallen! … Unexpectedly, there was still a fish that slipped through the net! …”
“What a tenacious vitality! …”
“The gods do not wish to see your existence, yet you manage to appear time and again! …”
The Spider Queen raised her palm and gently waved, the Monk’s frozen body instantly splitting in two, the head that could not die falling to the ground. The headless corpse slowly collapsed, and Rose’s face was full of mockery as she declared, “Mortals are ultimately just mortals, forever incapable of understanding the might of the divine! …”
“Time, space, matter, planes.”
“As long as it is within the divine’s domain, the rules are entirely defined by us! …”
In the distorted space.
The Barbarian suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream, and in the next moment, his burly body melted like a candle, truly dissolving away like wax, turning into a shocking pool of flesh and blood.
Unconcerned, the Spider Queen waved her hand as if brushing away inconspicuous dust.
She turned her gaze to a position dozens of kilometers away, and in the next moment, the veiled Spiritual Sorcerer trembled, her face instantly paling, her breath growing extremely faint, while her life force gradually waned alongside a curse’s power. The masked woman’s breath faded, and her skin seemed to lose vitality as she raced back in fear, appearing as weak as an ordinary person.
“Annoying little flies!”
The Spider Queen let out a cold snort and seemed to pierce through space, locking onto a specific existence.
Her figure gradually merged into the distorted space, reveling: “I’ve found you! … Humble little mice! … Await my arrival! …”
The Spider Queen vanished from sight.
But everything had not ended; even the entire Bottomless Abyss trembled because of it.
Bottomless Abyss.
A place of demonic hell.
The Spider Queen – [Rose]’s divine realm plane.
Since the Battle of the Spider Queen ascended into the realm of [Strong Divine Power], the Spider Queen Rose had moved her divine realm deeper into the domain.
That is the Bottomless Abyss.
The Spider Queen moved her divine realm to the Bottomless Abyss and became the most powerful evil deity of the abyss, an outsider, a slaughterer, a schemer.
Her arrival caused the entire Bottomless Abyss to tremble!
Countless abyssal demons felt fear and unrest because of her, yet there was nothing they could do.
Because absolute power is enough to change the rules, no one wishes to see the Spider Queen’s arrival, but no one can expel her.
Because she is the Spider Queen – [Rose]!
Bottomless Abyss.
Accompanied by a massive divine power, the divine realm of [Demonic Abyss] that descended into the Bottomless Abyss began to move little by little, the immense vibrations of the planar movement transmitting energy to every corner of the Bottomless Abyss; countless abyssal demons turned their gazes towards this space.
Meanwhile.
Within an incredibly magnificent palace.
The lazy figure of the Succubus Queen lay on an extravagant throne; her gaze suddenly shifted to a certain space, and her expression seemed to change slightly as she muttered, “What does that bitch, the Spider Queen, plan to do?”
“She is mobilizing her divine realm plane at such a time! … Has she encountered some trouble? …”
“Kekeke!”
“Perhaps I should leave her a surprise at this time!”
