NOVEL NEXT Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Want to Take the Opportunity?
"Crash!" The sunless, dark region trembled, and debris continuously fell from above, causing both sides in the battle to unconsciously slow down their pace due to the seemingly collapsing ground overhead.
However, the two beings causing such an anomaly didn't care. The towering Titan continued to swing his thunderous halberd, battling against the avatar of the Spider Queen, Rose.
Divinities possess almost infinite time to expend, allowing them to compensate for all their flaws. Thus, in battle, divinities nearly have no weaknesses, whether in ranged combat, melee, or magical attacks, they excel in all aspects, the only difference lies in which they specialize in.
"Titan! You are going too far," bellowed the colossal avatar of the Spider Queen, swinging her serpent-headed whip at the Titan opposing her, her lower half, a gruesome spider's body, continuously coordinating with her attacks.
Each clash between them generated massive spatial rifts and powerful shock storms. Sometimes, their attacks missed and hit the surroundings instead, blasting deep pits or long ravines into the ground while also causing violent tremors.
The war between the storm giants allied with the metal dragons and the drow elves still hadn't ceased, but the participants consciously began to avoid the two most dangerous beings on the battlefield.
"This is war, what excess is there to speak of?" Alek scoffed as he split the long whip coming at him, then clenched his fist and smashed it onto the stabbing spider leg of the Spider Queen, emitting a clang of metal.
The Spider Queen's current form, using the body of the drow queen Delilah as a vessel and constructed from divine power, was harder than any extraordinary metal and immune to many damages and negative effects.
According to her attributes, she should also be immune to the Titan's control of hurricanes and thunder. Unfortunately for her, she couldn't exempt herself from the Titan's damaging attacks, having to fully endure each strike.
"You're plundering my followers in large numbers!" the Spider Queen exclaimed angrily. As the war began, her real body located in the 66th layer of the Abyss immediately focused here.
Initially, she planned to descend in her avatar at the last moment to dramatically turn the tide and harvest a wave of faith. However, not long after the battle started, she felt her drow followers disappearing in large numbers, losing contact with tens of thousands of devout priests intermittently. Such a change naturally made her restless. With no followers left, for whom would she descend her avatar?
"Mother, it seems you forced the Spider Queen to come out early," Muria said to the gold dragon mom, Erathia, holding onto Indira without letting go, upon hearing the unwilling roar of the Spider Queen's avatar.
"What do you mean I forced her out? How is this related to me?" Erathia looked puzzled. "In this war of annihilation, the Spider Queen was definitely going to descend her avatar. She couldn't just watch a drow kingdom be destroyed."
"You are the catalyst."
"Never mind that, look at that city," Erathia, addressing Muria, pointed at the richest city in the kingdom of Medis, newly built but containing at least thirty percent of the essence of this dark region. "See, their battle fluctuations haven't damaged that city. Are you interested in going in now?"
"Why don't you just use a teleportation spell to move the city after they're done fighting?"
"That city can't be moved. The treasures inside must be divided according to merit among those ancient dragons and the three Titans. We can't monopolize them."
"You even know how to share," Muria couldn't hide his surprise.
"Enough talk. Are you coming or not?"
"No," Muria refused without hesitation. He wasn't desperate for wealth to go looting under the eyes of so many drow elves.
"Oh, then forget it," Erathia responded, only shaking her head in disappointment when Muria declined.
...
"Pfft!" The robust halberd slashed across the body of the Spider Queen's avatar, mixing light golden blood that sprayed and stained the sky red, shocking the hundreds of thousands of drow elves watching, as their deity was crushed before their eyes.
"Titan, I will remember you, this grudge and hatred, I will pursue till death," the Spider Queen, Rose, sensed as her divine throne cracked, a chilling fracture breaking off a corner, at the moment her followers' faith wavered.
"I'll be waiting!" Alek nearly cleaved Rose in two with his next blow, then slashed towards the juncture of her human and spider bodies, indifferently responding to the threat of a malevolent god. Who cares about a dark deity's threat?
"Ah!" Rose screamed, retracting her descending consciousness and divine power, opting for damage control as the defeat was sealed; she had no ability to turn the tide against the Titan.
"Pfft!" Vital blood burst forth, along with a beautifully terrifying head flying tens of meters high—a striking scene, marked by the decapitation of the elven queen Delilah.
Rose, the Spider Queen, suddenly retreated, disastrously failing her divine follower who, unprepared, faced the Titan's full-powered strike and was neatly beheaded.
A shocking spectacle emerged, as Delilah, decapitated and left with only a head, did not die. With glaring blood streaking through the sky, she attempted to flee.
"Mercy, please." Erathia appeared instantly before Delilah's head, grabbed her by the white hair, and held her up, causing Alek to lower his battle-axe, ready to deliver a finishing blow.
"Ah, excellent research material in hand," Erathia beamed, holding Delilah's head next to Muria. Seeing Erathia, Delilah temporarily abandoned any thoughts of escape. Without her body, her strength was drastically reduced, rendering her no more than a fish on the chopping board.
"Little Muria, have someone pick up her body. Just a head won't do; I want a complete drow queen."
"Your Highness Muria, here's what you requested." Soon, a storm giant brought over Delilah's headless body.
"Little Muria! Want me to temporarily reattach her head so you can deal with your dragon issues?" Erathia joked, holding Delilah's body as she teased Muria.
"No interest!" Muria decisively shook his head as he eyed the voluptuous, headless body floating in front of Erathia. Although Delilah was still alive, her current state of decapitation meant that any creature with a normal world view would find it hard to muster any interest.
