Chapter 1172: Chapter 85: Prelude to the Battle of the Spider Queen (Part 2)

"Did the Spider Queen really make you stay in Zerata all this time?"

"It seems that the favor you once had is now almost gone."

Ikryfda’s expression showed a hint of struggle, her body trembled slightly. She murmured, "The Divine Queen has her plans for leaving me here."

Plans?

What other plans could there be?

The demonic avatar gazed at the enchanting Great Mother Zor before him, his pupils flickered with ethereal demon flames, his sight seemed to pierce through certain layers of the Bottomless Abyss, landing on the magic network of the 66th layer of the Abyss.

"The Spider Queen’s war is about to erupt," Duncan seemed to realize something.

Some major events don’t erupt sequentially, one after another.

Take the events of the Slaughter Divine Son, for example. They truly erupted after Chaneem’s emergence, around the tenth year after the Saint’s Calamity, which is approximately the year 1368 of the Valley Calendar.

But even before the true eruption, the Slaughter Divine Sons were already very active.

Similarly.

The Spider Queen’s war erupted in the year 1372 of the Valley Calendar, but it wasn’t like it suddenly broke out on that day. Before the true eruption, this major event had already entered its advancement stage.

Similar events include the return of the Shadow Soul City, referring to the remnants of Netheril.

The eruption of these major events is unavoidable.

Because they have long laid down their foreshadowing during the Saint’s Calamity.

"Is the Spider Queen preparing to ascend?" Duncan’s gaze was deep.

During this turbulent period, most people’s eyes are on the mortal nations of the main Material Plane. However, Duncan’s demonic avatar resides in the Bottomless Abyss, naturally focusing on more, and the major event in the Bottomless Abyss is undoubtedly the upheaval of the magic network of the deep pit.

Spider Queen Rose suddenly severed the connection and began her ’metamorphosis’ ascension, even transforming into a giant cocoon.

The Zor Priests of Mol Sobre City lost their connection with the Divine Spirit, directly losing most of their casting ability, and many Zor Elf families began a grand purge, almost turning the entire city into ruins.

This was a ’self-directed and self-acted’ reckoning by Spider Queen Rose. It was also a survival of the fittest, eliminating the unfaithful Zor Elves, and in the process, supplementing the Bottomless Abyss with a batch of souls.

In the entire Spider Queen’s war, Rose was the biggest winner.

This is the reason she finally abandoned the essence of the Demon Lord, thoroughly transforming herself into a Divine Spirit of the evil faction, and thereby laid her hand upon the divine position of [Fate], earning the honorific as the Fate Weaver.

This self-directed and self-acted major event achieved Spider Queen Rose’s complete rise.

"And during this process."

"The greatest threat to Spider Queen Rose is neither the unrest in the Dark Realm nor the actions of the Elf Pantheon."

"But rather the Demon Lords of the Bottomless Abyss."

"Because once she begins her metamorphosis, the Demon Lords of the Bottomless Abyss will attack her Divine Country, the magic network of the 66th layer."

According to the normal storyline, during the ascension of Spider Queen Rose, she was besieged by two of the Three Giants of the Abyss.

"Is Ocus revived again?" A faint inexplicable smile appeared on Duncan’s lips.

Died and resurrected again.

Among all the Demon Lords, only Ocus is impossible to kill no matter what.

Around the year 1358 of the Valley Calendar, Ocus was slain by mortals using the Divine Artifact Bloodstone Scepter, thus missing the entire Saint’s Calamity, which provided an opportunity for Duncan’s rise.

During this period, the Three Giants of the Abyss were indeed not idle.

The Dark Monarch Glazest kidnapped the Goddess of Wealth Waukeen, the Undead Monarch Ocus caused trouble in the mortal world and was killed by a Divine Artifact, and then the Two-headed Baboon Di Maoge Gen went on a spree, one of his avatars was directly imprisoned in a place called the Observer’s Fortress.

In the future, if Chaneem meddles with the affairs of the Observer’s Fortress, he might even encounter the human form of Di Maoge Gen.

"Is it because the Dark Monarch Glazest was taken down by me?"

"So Spider Queen Rose has also sensed the opportunity and prepared to initiate her ascension ceremony in advance?"

Ikryfda’s arrival definitely has a purpose.

She has been probing Duncan’s moves and attitude, which in itself is the will of Spider Queen Rose, because if Rose undergoes metamorphosis and ascension, her greatest threat is the Three Giants of the Abyss.

"So it means."

"If my answer is satisfactory."

"The Spider Queen will soon metamorphose, attempting to seize the divine position of [Fate], and severing the connection with her followers, conducting a grand cleansing of the entire deep pit magic network and the Dark Realm?"

Duncan’s demonic avatar must carefully provide an answer.

Because to some extent, the attitude of the demonic avatar also determines the timing of the eruption of the Spider Queen’s war.

The love-hate entanglement between Spider Queen Rose and her daughter Illystrya continues even after the end of the Spider Queen’s war. Currently, the most crucial thing for Spider Queen Rose is her ascension to becoming the ’Fate Weaver’; this is the key for her to completely shed her demonic identity.

Rose can be considered one of the earliest demons to become a god.

After betraying the Elf Pantheon, Rose became a spider-shaped demon and relied on the Crown Wars to rise again, dragging the entire Dark Elf race into the Dark Realm.

But a part of her essence is still that of a Demon Lord.

The key to the Spider Queen’s war is precisely the transformation from a Demon Lord into a true Divine Spirit. During this, Rose sheds her demonic nature, and thereby completes her ’purification’ and ’sublimation’, thereby totally eradicating the characteristic of ’demonic’ reincarnation.

When the Spider Queen’s war erupted, all the web lines of the magic network in the deep pit collapsed, with countless demons slaughtering in this layer. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Undead creatures and demon legions waged a bloody battle against the Spider Queen’s handmaidens, the ’Wax Melting Demons’.
