716 Chapter 453: Spider’s Divine Power, Harvest After the Battle [2/3]
Heaven countered all physical damage to the enemy.
That was too comfortable.
He had been satisfied with the skill, and the most startling was that it could minimize the losses of Twilight City.
Otherwise, with his previous intensive battle experience, the loss of the troop alone would have impoverished Twilight City.
The “Shining Era” was not a safe time. The cost was massive, whether the players or the natives, as long as they started a battle.
The most startling about Twilight City was the Sand Transformation skill. It could reduce the consumption of resources to a minimum. It could save a massive amount of resources.
That would allow Twilight City to develop other areas instead of investing resources in the military.
The reason why Twilight City could develop so quickly was because of the direct relationship between them.
Richard retracted his thoughts and looked at the system notification a few more.
The warning vastly dissipated the joy in his heart…
“This battle had already aroused the vigilance of the spider troop.
“No, not just the spider troop, but also the spider goddess.”
Richard frowned when he recalled the brutal language of the void weaver after the god’s ancient tree sucked its energy.
“One could not underestimate the nightmare mode difficulty of this dungeon, not to mention the S-rank mission Retrieve a God’s Heart…
“Was Lolita’s arrival a combination of the two?”
The more Richard thought about it, the more he felt something wrong.
Defending Tower race’s holy land was not an easy task.
Just a thought of the three spider churches, more than 6,000 level 15 and 16 top-tier troops, and three level 19 heroes forces was enough to numb one’s scalp.
It also attracted the arrival of the spider goddess Lolita.
Richard could have suffered heavy losses if not for the god’s ancient tree, who transformed twice and obtained a trace of the rotten authority, even if he had overseen this war.
Perhaps, they could only hold on if they brought the thousands of people who had entered with them to guard the place if it were any other player.
The difficulty of this mission was sparingly odd.
The call from the side interrupted his thoughts. He turned his head and saw Popov, the level 19 hero. The Tower race patriarch looked at him with a fanatical expression.
“Is that the aura of the spider goddess Lolita? You… You chased her away?”
Popov had seen the god’s ancient tree slaughtered in all directions. The Tower race patriarch was amazed and was in awe of it in its heart.
However, Popov did not expect that the ancient abomination tree truly sucked Lolita, the ruler of the abyss, dry before her divine might after she descended!
‘The abomination tree could fight against a god!’
This thought stirred its mind, quickened its breath, and knocked its heart.
It increasingly dried its mouth.
Popov thought the abomination tree’s battle power was of a goddess who had descended to the mortal world, and it defeated three spider churches. But now, that abomination tree was much more than that.!!
That was the spider goddess Lolita!
She was the ruler of the 500th level of the bottomless abyss, the main goddess of all spiders in the “Shining Era”. She was soul-murdering existence that controlled the divine concepts of evil, darkness, and conspiracy.
It was not something that mortals could hope to achieve even if the other party had descended and possessed a spider.
That was perhaps the daughter of a dark evil god that had crawled out of the abyss. The other had high-level power!!
“No.”
Richard looked at the ruins of the three spider churches.
“The enemy had woken up. It will be even more difficult for us to find the ones we encounter next.
“That evil goddess would appear again.”
The goddess of conspiracy was a vengeful being. That wouldn’t be its character if it didn’t retaliate.
A bitter smile appeared on his face.
He thought that was just the beginning of the S-rank mission. Every step that followed could be a life-and-death crisis.
It did not matter much to the boss with the Hero’s Altar. However, the dungeon would wipe out all the troops in his hands if the goddess cleared it. It would dash his goal.
That was unacceptable!!
Popov suddenly fell silent.
Popov sighed and sternly stared at Richard.
“Lord Richard, the Tower race still preserved a dark stone statue for a long time. The ancestors of the Tower race once sealed a supremely soul-sucking evil existence in the stone statue.
“That possesses an extremely high level of power. Our ancestor once said it could possess a wisp of divine power.”
“We could stall Lolita when we attack the spider temple… It would be best if we revive her, enslave her, and cooperate with your subordinates.”
“Please, accept this stone statue.”
“Dark stone statue?”
Richard narrowed his eyes.
“This was the reward the system mentioned if we survived the dungeon with it, right?
That piqued his interest.
The difficulty of the sudden mission to protect the Tower race’s holy land could be said to have broken through the heavens.
The reward for the mission would be practical.
Popov took a deep breath and continued.
“You don’t have to worry. We have sealed most of the stone statue’s power, and…”
As the patriarch spoke, it looked at the god’s ancient tree.
“We haven’t used that stone statue for long because it requires tons of dark energy. The Tower race is a pure warrior race, and they don’t study magic.”
Popov said bitterly, “Because that stone statue is too old, ordinary power can no longer move it… it needs the power of the abomination tree.”
Richard’s interest grew.
It required the power of the god’s ancient tree to activate it. What the other party had just displayed was the rotten authority. That was the power of a god.
“Popov, I have no reason to refuse.”
