An indescribable force burst out from behind him.
Søren's face changed in an instant. He picked up the Lolita Dragon beside him and immediately activated Haste. His whole body flew away like a shadow. As one of the few top Rogues in the Underdark who had seen the body of the Queen of Spiders, Søren had received many missions when he was among the Drows. Perhaps because the reputation accumulated from the missions was too high, Søren's name gradually reached the ears of the Queen of Spiders at that time, and she forced him to accept a difficult mission.
"Is … is that the Queen of Spiders? … "
The expression on the Lolita Dragon's face was also a little panicked. As a dragon, she easily slept all the way to the legendary realm, but what just happened in front of her completely shattered her past confidence. Perhaps mortals were as weak as ants in her eyes, but in fact, they were also like ants in the eyes of some existences.
Søren nodded slowly.
Then a familiar force emerged, and suddenly he recalled the memory of several times when he met the Queen of Spiders.
— — "Life and Death! [Shard of Divinity] "
— — "Death's Hand! [Godhood of Assassination] "
As a top Rogue who had faced the incarnations of the gods several times, Søren knew the terrible power of the old gods too well.
Compared with a terrible existence like the Queen of Spiders, legends were just as insignificant as a speck of dust.
There were many records about the fall of the Arcane Empire, but in fact, there had always been a conspiracy theory that the fall of the Arcane Empire was because they threatened the rule of the gods. The power of the great arcanists was too strong, and the field of their research also involved the realm of the gods, so they fell overnight for some reason. During the period of the Arcane Empire, its influence spread throughout the multiverse, and there were millions of legendary professions inside. Conspiracy theorists believed that no one except the gods could eliminate so many legendary professions in one breath.
Gods.
The field that Søren was exploring little by little was also a field beyond the imagination of mortals.
In theory.
Gods were invincible, or at least, they could not be defeated by mortals, because this was the rule set by the gods. Throughout history, the fall of the gods had always been due to internal strife. Examples of mortals killing gods could be counted on one hand.
If it wasn't for the arrival of the Avatar Crisis, a god with weak divine power could also kill a group of legendary professionals.
"Gods are almost invincible in their divine kingdoms."
"Within the domain of the gods, a single ability of [Form Change], [Reality Change], or [Size Change] is enough to easily change your body into any form that they wish to see."
"For non-divine creatures, some gods who have mastered the Divine Domain of Death, Slaughter, and Destruction can directly erase the life of the other party."
"Deities are immune to the majority of negative status effects, and they always take the maximum value of the immunity test."
"Only gods in the form of saints can be killed by mortals."

…
Far away from the battlefield.
Just as the Queen of Spiders' figure disappeared, a blurry and distorted shadow quietly retreated.
"I failed!"
"The power of the Queen of Spiders is too strong! … We mistakenly estimated the power of the Queen of Spiders based on the strength of the God of Half-elves and Rogues! … Even if we have increased the amount of power difference by nearly a hundred times, the gap between the two sides is still too big! … The battle plan failed, and only one member of the God Slayer Tactical Team survived. "
"The coordinates of the half bitwall seem to have been locked by the Queen of Spiders! … Request support from the Astral Floating Tower to retreat! … "
"I must return to the Sigil and bring the news back to the Church of Non-Gods."
The shadow quickly disappeared into the darkness.
…
On the other side.
Søren finally slowed down a little after putting enough distance between them.
He looked at the Lolita Dragon in front of him and said with a serious expression, "Things are a little beyond our expectations! If even the Queen of Spiders has appeared, then I'm afraid we can't stay in the Underdark for a while. "
The Avatar Crisis.
The act of killing a god before the Avatar Crisis began would definitely arouse the anger of the Queen of Spiders. Soon, a terrible purge would spread to all parts of the Underdark. At least before the Avatar Crisis officially broke out, the Queen of Spiders would need to vent her anger. For now, although the gods had sensed something, none of them knew what was about to happen!
Søren was probably the one who knew the content of the Avatar Crisis best.
To some extent, this should be the only obvious advantage he had over many gods!
No one knew when the Avatar Crisis would break out, how strong the outbreak would be, and how large the scope of the impact would be. Even the gods who were resisting the chaotic energy could only vaguely guess the general direction. So during this period of time, there were actually a lot of tentative actions. Not only the gods were testing other gods, but other powerful organizations were also testing various targets.
Everything that happened today.
Søren had no impression of it in the past, which meant that it happened before other adventurers entered the Underdark.
Although he didn't know the origin of the team of professionals who attacked the Queen of Spiders, Søren could roughly guess that they had a great relationship with the Arcane Empire, because the whole battle plan seemed quite "sci-fi," and the premise of all this was that they needed the Thaling of the Arcane Empire to complete a huge tactical calculation.
Søren had encountered this kind of fighting method before, but it was not as scary as today!
If the target was not the Queen of Spiders, they would have succeeded today. Any god below the mid-level Divine Power could be defeated by this level of tactic. Unfortunately, they chose the wrong target. They chose the Queen of Spiders, who was already a great Divine Power and in charge of too many clergies and domain powers. He didn't know why they wanted to kill the Queen of Spiders. However, Søren was not surprised. After all, the Queen of Spiders was famous for attracting firepower, and her enemies were already countless.
As early as the mid-level Divine Power, which was before the battle of the Queen of Spiders broke out, the Queen of Spiders [Lolth] was already fighting the entire Elven Divine System alone.
It was not surprising.
If the Queen of Spiders wasn't so powerful, Søren wouldn't have turned around and run away when he saw her.
As for why someone would think of killing her, Søren didn't quite understand the reason. In his memory, there were only a few existences who would take such a risk and be so hostile to the Queen of Spiders.
For example, the churches of gods and non-gods, an exploration organization in the Astral Plane, or some powerful force that he didn't know.
(Note: Before the establishment of the Drows, the Queen of Spiders was more alone against the Elven Divine System. However, as a goddess who was good at using conspiracy, she would also find some powerful allies.)
…
"Queen of Spiders! … "
The Lolita Dragon lowered her head and muttered to herself. Since the beginning of the incident, she seemed to be a little depressed, and her whole person seemed to be absent-minded, as if there was something on her mind.
But at this time, Søren didn't have time to think so much.
The battle at the beginning was too terrifying! He might not even be able to hold on for a second under such a tactical attack. As for the Queen of Spiders' strong counterattack after taking all the attacks, Søren wasn't surprised at all. At present, the Avatar Crisis hadn't completely broken out, and the Queen of Spiders hadn't been completely deprived of her divinity. Unless several other gods with great Divine Power joined forces, it was basically impossible to kill her.
Many tactics seemed strong, but they were useless against some existences.
For example, someone once wanted to kill the Queen of Succubus, who didn't seem to be very strong, but when they really wanted to do it, they found that they couldn't even pass through the aura of "Seductive Beauty." In the end, the Queen of Succubus casually opened the domain of "Fallen Desire," and the group of people began to play the shameful game that they would regard as a lifetime of shame.
…
There was more light in front of them.
There was a strange fluorescent plant growing nearby, but as soon as they got close, Søren's expression changed, and he put his hand on the hilt of Icingdeath. In front of them appeared a figure on the ground. From the outline, it should be a woman. Her exposed skin was very pale, and her face was covered with a veil, so they couldn't see her face clearly. However, Søren saw a familiar symbol on her body. His heart couldn't help but thump, and he thought to himself, "The Godslayer Organization?!"
A Psionic Warlock?
When Søren turned the woman over, he and the little Lolita next to him couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.
The little Lolita frowned slightly, and after a glance, she said, "She's dying!"
Søren nodded slowly.
Yes.
She's dying!
A powerful Psionic Warlock with a profession level of more than level 30 was so easily killed by the Queen of Spiders.
Søren spread out her wrist and saw a dark green symbol that looked like a black widow on it. He couldn't help but murmur, "Assassination Priesthood. Craftiness Domain. It's the curse of the Queen of Spiders! … "
"She's basically hopeless."
Since the battle of the Queen of Spiders, the Queen of Spiders – Lolita had been coveting other powerful Priesthoods or corresponding Priesthoods.
Craftiness Domain.
Basically, not many people who were cursed by the Queen of Spiders could survive.
"Sigh."
The little Lolita slightly looked at the Psionic Warlock, whose breath was fading, and said slowly, "Unless a god gives her a new life, she's basically dead now."
Time froze.
When he heard this sentence from her mouth, Søren's eyes couldn't help but burst into light.
He seemed to have thought of something!
