I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Forbidden Fortress Donovan, Spider Heart Temple,

Under the concealment of Fenriya Goddess's power, Lis slowly made her way downwards towards the temple.

With the protection of a divine rank power, Spider Queen Rose couldn't detect Lis.

This was the reason Lis could successfully arrive at the Spider Heart Temple.

However, Lis didn't let her guard down.

Although the power of Fenriya Goddess was enough to shield Lis from Spider Queen Rose's attention, if Lis carelessly triggered any of the traps within the temple, the resulting disturbance would be beyond what Lis could conceal.

Luckily, after controlling Eliza, Lis had already learned the path for infiltrating the Spider Heart Temple and entering the underground area beforehand.

Therefore, Lis's infiltration went relatively smoothly without alerting Spider Queen Rose or anyone else.

During the infiltration, Lis also passed by the core of the Spider Heart Temple and saw from afar Brynn the Tormented being eroded by Abyss Power and Spider Queen Rose's strength.

Brynn's situation was quite dire now, and Lis could sense that this legendary member of the association wasn't far from having his mind and soul completely controlled by Spider Queen Rose.

But at the moment, Lis truly had no opportunity to save him.

After all, Brynn was certainly under Spider Queen Rose's attention now.

If Lis tried to save Brynn, it would certainly attract Spider Queen Rose's notice.

If Spider Queen Rose's consciousness descended upon the Spider Heart Temple, Lis wouldn't have the chance to seize the "Pastorem's Stomach".

Of course, as long as the controlled legendary Dark Elf Eliza wasn't discovered, Lis could continue to attempt once Spider Queen Rose's consciousness left.

But if that happened, things would no longer be under Lis's control.

In that case, with "Pastorem's Stomach" and Spider Queen Rose present, the Elf Clan and Lis would almost be unable to destroy Forbidden Fortress Donovan.

With the failure of this attack, there won't be such a good opportunity next time.

With Spider Queen Rose's power, forcibly relocating Forbidden Fortress Donovan and the Dark Elves within it,

Or, as long as "Pastorem's Stomach" was relocated, Lis and the Elf Clan would be powerless.

But in such a case, the cost to handle these Dark Elves and the artifact "Pastorem's Stomach" next time would be greater.

Moreover, even if Brynn was controlled by Spider Queen Rose, Lis had a way to resolve it, so there was no rush.

Hang in there, brother!

Lis glanced at Brynn and headed directly towards her target.

Brynn the Tormented would be captured by the Dark Elves in the Underground City, indicating that he wasn't a collaborator with those people.

Therefore, Lis still planned to rescue Brynn.

But for now, Lis must first deal with the artifact "Pastorem's Stomach".

...

In that pitch-black, sunless room,

A nauseating stench permeated the room, as if countless wronged souls were sobbing.

The artifact "Pastorem's Stomach" lay eerily in the center of the room, resembling a dormant terrifying behemoth.

This artifact emitted an evil chaotic abyssal power, like substantive black mist, constantly swirling and eroding everything around, plunging the entire room into endless distortion and madness.

The thick muscle on the stomach surface squirmed and twitched incessantly as if digesting some indescribable existence.

Droplets of mucus fell from the stomach, dripping onto the ground, making a sizzling corrosion sound, instantly corroding small pits emitting black smoke on the floor, sending chills down one's spine.

Lis reached the doorway, focused on the abyssal artifact exuding a terrifying pressure inside the room.

Even though she had felt the artifact's pressure through Eliza's perspective before, Lis felt waves of discomfort at this moment.

From this mysterious and evil artifact, she truly experienced an immensely powerful pressure, her body seeming to bear a thousand-pound burden.

The sensation was akin to facing a towering mountain alone, reaching high into the sky, appearing as insignificant as an ant.

This artifact was shrouded by a thick and eerie abyssal power, endlessly swirling and surging, emitting a terrifying low moan.

It felt like an invisible yet powerful giant hand tightly grasping Lis's soul, trying to tear it from her body.

Or like a surging black tide, crashing wave after wave against Lis's mental defenses, disrupting her mind and thoughts, causing various insane notions to grow like weeds.

Yet with Fenriya Goddess's protection and the circulation of chaotic faith power, Lis found facing "Pastorem's Stomach" was not too difficult.

Eliza's figure emerged from the shadow on one side of the room.

Due to the influence of Spider Queen Rose's power, "Pastorem's Stomach" had little impact on her.

Lis glanced at Eliza and then controlled her to head to the corridor outside the room, wary of anyone's approach.

After making preparations, Lis looked at the slowly squirming stomach before her, stepping forward.

Lis's form was tense, her steps heavy and slow, advancing inch by inch towards the artifact "Pastorem's Stomach" with difficulty.

This point of pressure emitted by the abyssal artifact was akin to an invisible yet towering mountain weighing heavily upon her.

Every step felt like a tug-of-war with invisible forces, striving with all her might to withstand this mountain-like terrifying pressure.
