Volume 1 Chapter 620

Chapter 620: You Cannot Leave

Lolth expected that she would not be able to defeat the three-headed foolish bone giant beast.

After all, the opponent was a god.

No matter how much home advantage a Holy Domain had, it still could not match a god.

But, it can also be said…

After all, this was in her own Divine Kingdom, fighting against a part of the opponent.

With one blow, it was sent flying, which does not mean it is too weak.

Other gods might not have been able to do this.

It is only because… the one who came is too strong.

Even inside someone else’s Divine Kingdom, there is still the ability to effortlessly send a Plane Will-imbued Holy Domain flying with just a wave of the hand.

"Huh, it seems that the ‘value’ of this plane is much greater than I imagined…"

Lolth thought this as she looked towards the spot where the "figure" was.

The blurry figure gradually became clear, and the light gray mist transformed into a close-fitting bodysuit.

A graceful and curvaceous tall figure appeared at the entrance of the ruined temple.

Lolth raised an eyebrow.

"Wow."

Although she couldn’t see the face clearly for now, she could feel that the person who came was a very beautiful woman.

The other person looked at her too.

Then, the avatar of the deity made a rather unexpected sound.

"Lolth… Lolthlinda?"

As the other person said this, there was even a hint of surprise in their tone.

Lolth didn’t feel particularly surprised that the other person called her name.

This was because she could sense a feeling from the other person that was quite familiar to her.

It wasn’t the God of Demise—although the God of Demise was involved in this matter as well.

Thinking about it this way, it does seem a bit absurd, especially since both of the evil gods here actually know her.

Of course, even though she could sense something familiar… Lolth still knew nothing about who they were or why they had come.

So, she smiled.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

As she said this, the other person really did not attack Lolth; instead, they calmly walked closer to her and sat down on a piece of broken wall.

"Are you asking for my title, or… my identity?"

Lolth felt a bit confused when she heard their response.

"Is there a difference between the two?"

As she said this, the other person gave a gentle smile.

"Hehe… Maybe there really isn’t…"

"Let me introduce myself; I am the goddess who rules over ‘The River of the Dead,’ ‘The Spirits,’ and ‘Corruption.’ You can call me the Goddess of the River of the Dead, or… the Queen of Spirits, whichever you prefer."

She spoke in a relaxed tone.

Lolth thought for a moment; she did not know such a person.

In other words, her interactions with this person mostly happened during the three thousand years she had no memory.

"Nice to meet you, Queen of Spirits. I am the lord of Hillenbrand Town; you can call me the Lord of Hillenbrand Town."

Lolth responded seriously.

As she said this, she simply sat down right there—on top of the giant skeletal beast that had fallen beside her and was still unconscious.

"So, Your Majesty, as a goddess, what is your purpose in coming here?"

"You must have realized that a ‘Divine Being’ was born here, and this place is His Divine Kingdom," the Queen of the Undead said calmly, "This is one of the four ‘Ark Dimensions’ created by the First Era civilization… and it is the last one that is still intact; you have already seen the second to last one."

Lolth felt a spark of thought and raised an eyebrow.

"Are you talking about the Divine Kingdom where the ‘Plague’ was born?"

"Exactly," the Queen of the Undead replied softly, "All four ‘Ark Dimensions’ fell into the ‘corruption’ of the End of Days back then, triggered the emergency ‘God-Making’ device, and then created four evil gods…"

"Famine and suffering, plague and despair, war and chaos, death and… the end."

As she said this, the corner of Lolth’s mouth twitched.

"Death and the end… is that the god from here, right?"

"Yes, you guessed very accurately… It seems you have recognized the identity of the other god competing with me for this place."

"He and the former master here were once a whole, but from the very beginning, the ‘Goddess of Order’ of the First Era split them into two, exiling the part of ‘the end’ and ultimately slaying the goddess of death here."

The Queen of the Undead slowly explained to Lolth, and Lolth finally understood why she wanted to use the power of the End.

Because the End is actually the half-master of this world!

It is probably because of this that Dorothy and her friends are seen as the inheritors.

Because they are wrapped in the Ultimate Power, which shares the same source as the death force here!

So it makes sense that I am seen as a good friend of the master here.

There is indeed a strong presence of Ultimate Power within me.

After understanding this connection, the motives of the Queen of the Undead and the God of Demise became clear.

Even gods can continue to grow stronger.

They become stronger by expanding their Divine Kingdom, increasing their Divine Kingdom, and embracing more authority.

Although Lolth did not know the specific details of the situation, she still understood this basic fact.

Becoming a god is not the end, but another brand new beginning.

Therefore, this is a struggle between the "God of Demise" and the "Queen of the Undead," both needing the power of "death" to become stronger.

Dorothy and Patricia were just caught in the middle of this.

Choosing to be in the territory of the God of Light was probably a desperate decision… It looks like this Divine Kingdom just happened to come here.

In a way, I am also quite unlucky… Even if I am not in Hillenbrand Town, the half-plane Divine Kingdom found me anyway.

But the good news is that this time, the half-plane Divine Kingdom does not have much to do with me.

"Okay, I have completely lost my understanding!"

Saying this, Lolth showed a look of understanding.

"Then you and the end will keep going, and I will take my student and friends away from here… I won’t disturb you two."

Lolth said this, and the other person looked at her for a long time, shaking their head.

"No, you can’t leave."

The Queen of the Undead said this, raising her hand.

"You and your student… are both ‘keys,’ so you cannot leave."

As she said this, gray mist swirled towards Lolth.

"This matter leaves no room for discussion!"

The Queen of the Undead declared, bringing down the "divine decree"!

This is the will spoken by the deity, which can twist the rules even in another Divine Kingdom.

Space and magic seemed to be eroded and sealed by this fog.

And Lolth showed no hesitation, as the runes on her body began to glow one after another.

The barriers in the entire space shook violently!

"Sorry, I didn’t mean to consult with you."
