The endless plains stretch to the end of the horizon, dotted with lush woods and grasslands, and occasionally lakes sparkling with beautiful sapphire light, like blue diamonds in the green screen.
In the center of the plain, a towering ancient tree with leaves and branches spread out like a canopy, shading the plain within a radius of one kilometer.
Countless good-looking men and women in white robes wandered, talked, played and rested under the ancient trees. The atmosphere was peaceful and tranquil.
And at the top of the ancient tree's crown, a beautiful woman was standing quietly, looking up at the night sky.
She was unusually tall, estimated to be nearly three meters tall. By human standards, she was undoubtedly a giant, but she did not look bulky or bloated at all. Instead, she exuded a sense of delicacy and slenderness.
She was wearing a tight-fitting silver armor that perfectly outlined her graceful body curves.
Her long, silvery hair cascaded down like a waterfall to her ankles. The silver light swirled and flickered, enveloping her in a faint glow.
Behind her, a man in a star-shaped robe stood three or four meters away, looking calmly at the sky.
It was clearly daytime, but the moon in the sky was clearly visible, even brighter and clearer than at night.
But at this moment, gusts of cold wind suddenly blew from a distance, mixed with yellowish sand and gravel.
Although it was very far away, the whistling sound was as clear as if it was ringing in my ears.
At the same time, a scarlet light emerged from the end of the sky and swept towards the ancient tree like a tide, but was quickly blocked by the bright moonlight, and its speed suddenly slowed down a lot.
The sudden strange phenomenon immediately caused a commotion among the crowd under the tree. Many people picked up their weapons and looked into the distance.
Only the woman and the wizard in the treetops looked calm.
"She's here." The wizard said slowly.
The tone seems calm, but if you listen carefully, you can detect a strong sense of fear in it.
The woman frowned, sighed, turned back to look at the wizard, and whispered, "How do you know she's going to attack me?"
The wizard said calmly: "Your Crescent Moon priesthood and the Spider Queen's priesthood are a perfect match. After consuming your priesthood, the Spider Queen's power will surely be further enhanced. That's why she has been eyeing you covetously. This is something many people know."
The woman, the Crescent Moon Goddess Ilea, smiled undeniably.
She knew very well that this was just the other party's excuse and the real reason must not be this.
But she didn't plan to ask further.
The Protoss Clock Tower is the wizarding force that has conducted the most in-depth research on the gods, without a doubt.
They always have channels to obtain some secret information related to gods, so it is not surprising that they know the movements of the Spider Queen.
And the reason why the other party came all the way to remind her was not to help her - the Star Spirit Clock Tower was famous for its hatred of gods - he just wanted to sit back and watch her and the Spider Queen both suffer losses, and then reap the benefits.
Of course, the more likely possibility is that she was killed by the Spider Queen.
After all, the Spider Queen was much more powerful than her! During the moment when the two were talking, the sky changed again.
Under the seemingly endless blood-red tide, the bright moonlight dimmed at some point and gradually retreated.
The eerie blood color was like a huge monster, devouring the green on the plain bit by bit.
The green grass and beautiful flowers quickly withered and died, the trees decayed, the lake dried up, and all the bright colors disappeared, only the ancient trees remained intact.
Soon, the entire sky was filled with blood, and all you could see was scarlet.
The bright moon that was originally hanging high in the sky disappeared as if the space collapsed, turning into a bottomless black hole.
That is the Spider Queen's kingdom eroding the Crescent Moon Kingdom.
This is a fighting method unique to gods.
In battles between gods, one gods’ kingdom is often controlled to invade the other gods’ kingdom first, so as to offset the blessing of the opponent gods’ kingdom and fight purely based on each other’s strength.
However, it is not easy to erode the Kingdom of God.
Often, as long as one party resists with all its might, it will be difficult for the gods of the other party to completely invade, and it will also be difficult to kill the other party with the blessing of the kingdom of God.
This is also the reason why gods rarely die outside the realm of true spirit.
Even if they are both gods, it is generally difficult to kill another god, let alone a wizard.
But there are exceptions.
If the priesthoods of both parties overlap and are of similar nature, the stronger party can manipulate the kingdom of gods of similar nature to quickly erode the kingdom of gods of the weaker party, thereby killing the other party.
Just like what is happening right before your eyes! For tens of thousands of years, Ilea has been drifting in the endless void just to avoid the Spider Queen.
But I didn't expect that the other party would come to my door.
She didn't know whether the Protoss Clock Tower or other wizarding forces were involved behind this, but at the moment she had no time to pursue these issues.
Since its birth, an unprecedented crisis has been looming.
If she can't get through it, today might be the day she dies! After a brief commotion, the petitioners who were resting under the tree stood up silently, each holding their own weapons.
Although the situation before them was very unusual, there was no fear or panic on their faces. They stood calmly and silently in front of the ancient tree, like the brief silence before a storm.
Watching this scene, Ilea sighed softly, her deep blue eyes filled with sadness.
Behind her, the wizard from the Protoss Clock Tower had disappeared at some point.
In the distance, a dark shadow suddenly appeared on the horizon.
Only if you look closely can you see that there are actually tens of thousands of spiders.
They are of different sizes and shapes, waving their eight long limbs, rushing towards this side like waves, as if they are going to submerge the ancient tree.
The Spider Queen's attack has begun!
The moment they stepped onto the plain, the ground beneath the spiders' feet suddenly cracked open, and countless vines emerged from the ground, growing rapidly, tearing through the air with flowing and flickering light, and lashing the spiders like whips.
Suddenly, there was a continuous crackling sound, and the first wave of spiders that rushed up exploded and broke into pieces.
But more spiders kept coming, endlessly.
Some spiders began to transform as they ran, turning into hideous demonic forms—Waxmelters, Balrogs, Bewitches, Vrocks, and all kinds of strange demons.
They use their huge swords to chop at the vines, breathe fire to burn through the vines, or spread their wings and fly directly over them, rushing forward at high speed.
Before long, these demons rushed into the area covered by the ancient tree.
The petitioners who had been ready for battle rushed forward expressionlessly and attacked the demons head-on.
They did not wear any armor, only a thin robe, but moonlight appeared out of nowhere, covering their entire bodies and resisting the harm from the demons.
In addition, their skills in using swords are also extremely sharp.
Although they were far fewer in number than the invaders, the petitioners were not at a disadvantage at all.
Ilea paid no attention to the battle below, staring intently into the distance.
Amid the mighty attacking army, a spider was floating straight up, as if crawling along an invisible spider silk. When it was almost touching the sky, violet demonic fire suddenly appeared, lingering around its body, and pieces of fire flew up like a phoenix.
When the flames went out, the spider had turned into a beautiful woman. Her curvaceous body was wrapped in a robe and cloak woven from transparent spider silk. She was playing with an emerald green spider dagger in her palm, switching it from her left hand to her right hand, and then it disappeared.
It was the Spider Queen Rose, the infamous Queen of the Deep Pit Demon Web in the multiverse! She looked up at Ilea on the ancient tree, her plump lips pulled back, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile, but her purple eyes were expressionless.
"It's been a long time, Ilea."
Ilea pursed her lips and said nothing. She drew out the Crescent Sword with her backhand. The tip of the sword vibrated in the air, making a crisp sound.
She raised her moon blade and pointed it at the Spider Queen.
The two goddesses looked at each other for a moment, and then they flashed forward at the same time and rushed towards each other.
The moon blade in Ilea's hand vibrated rapidly, and a bright full moon rose from behind her, illuminating the night sky, slightly driving away the dark blood color, and then she stabbed Rose in the chest with a sword.
Rose floated back, and Ilea followed closely, and the two goddesses engaged in a desperate duel in the air.
Ilea's movements were light and graceful, and her every move was imbued with exquisite and elegant beauty. Although she was fighting for life and death, it seemed as if she was performing a sword dance.
In comparison, Rose seemed much weirder.
She was like a spider hanging on a silk thread, with the entire air filled with her web. She moved forward and backward, as swift as the wind. Her movements seemed stiff and without any flexibility, but in fact, she had calculated the most efficient path and attack method based on the most precise calculations, without any tricks.
Although it was a frontal combat, every attack seemed like a surprise attack, a standard assassin's style.
Clang! The Crescent Blade and the Spider Dagger collided with each other, emitting brilliant light, and a mixture of crisp and vague sounds.
The two parties seemed to be completely unaware of it, but the invisible shock spread out like ripples, tearing the surrounding void into pieces, and everything in it turned to dust, and then reassembled in an instant, repeating the cycle over and over again.
Scarlet blood rolled in like a dark cloud, and endless surging pressure surged out from it, making it almost impossible to stay conscious. Only when Ilea swung her moon blade, reflecting the bright full moon behind her and spreading bright light in all directions, could the darkness be slightly driven away.
"This is the power of God."
The Protoss Clock Tower wizard hiding in the distance watched this scene with an expression of admiration on his face.
There are endless skills and tricks in the use of magic, but they are meaningless in front of the gods. Even a powerful spell of the seventh or eighth level can hardly cause harm to the gods.
Only the highest level nine-ring spells can pose some threat to the gods.
But it's just a little bit.
When dealing with gods, true spirit wizards basically do not need to consume the considerable nine-ring spells, but rather use the power of laws at the same level as divine power and priesthood.
Only the power of laws can truly threaten the gods! Whether it is a battle between gods or between gods and true spirit wizards, the battle between them is essentially a battle of the power of laws.
What they are competing for is who has a stronger grasp of the laws and a deeper understanding and control of the laws.
The fighting in the distance was still going on.
Ilea steadily resisted Rose's attack again and again, but each of her counterattacks was also cleverly dodged or blocked.
There was an obvious power gap between the two sides. If it weren't for the Crescent Blade, the artifact held by the Crescent Goddess that had a suppressive effect on Rose, she would probably have fallen under Rose's spider dagger.
However, the wizard knew that this was only a brief stalemate.
In the face of such a huge power gap, the final outcome will not change at all.
It was precisely because of this that they told Ilea this information, hoping that Ilea would be fully prepared and not be defeated too badly, and at least be able to inflict enough damage on Rose.
In this way, their subsequent plans can continue! As the two gods fought, blood-red clouds and bright moonlight filled the sky, interweaving and mixing, surging like waves in a storm.
Gradually, the figures of the two gods could no longer be seen clearly, and one could only vaguely see two balls of blood and silver light colliding with each other!
I don’t know how long it had been, but suddenly there was a thunderous sound from high in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the mixed blood and silver clouds.
The figures of the two gods reappeared.
Ilea retreated in a panic like an arrow, the weapon in her hand flew out of her hand, shattered into dozens of pieces in mid-air, and flew everywhere.
"Goodbye, Ilea."
Rose declared with a cold smile, and a spider web that covered the sky and the earth fell from the top of her head, wrapping Ilea in it, tightly wrapping her like a cocoon, and pulling her into the black hole in the sky and disappearing.
"ah!"
The petitioners on the ground roared miserably, trying to save their faith, but with Ilea's defeat, the moonlight on them dissipated, and they were soon overwhelmed by endless spiders and demons.
Watching this scene, Rose laughed low, wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, glanced in the direction of the wizard, then turned around and took a step forward, and suddenly disappeared into the void.
"Were you discovered?"
In the distance, the wizard frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure.
It doesn't matter if you get discovered.
The Spider Queen has coveted the position of the Crescent Moon Goddess for a long time. With such a huge temptation in front of her, she will definitely take the bait even if she knows it is a poisonous bait.
This was an open conspiracy! Right now, things were going just as they had planned. The bait had been taken. Even if the Spider Queen realized that they were behind this, it was too late.
The war on the plains has ended. Without the protection of the Crescent Goddess, the petitioners have been completely destroyed.
Endless spiders scattered in all directions, cheering and screaming.
The scarlet blood spread in all directions, becoming increasingly intense.
The deep pit magic net is rapidly devouring this kingdom of God.
It won’t be long before this place becomes part of the Spider Queen’s kingdom.
The wizard withdrew his gaze, tore open a crack in the plane, stepped into it and disappeared. (End of this chapter)
