Chapter 173: The Remarkable Cultist!

With the help of Ultimate Power, Lolth quickly dealt with another kind of Power of the Evil God that was eroding Tina’s body.

Simultaneously, she employed Ultimate Power to form a magical shield around Tina, safeguarding her from additional damage and erosion caused by the Evil God’s power present here.

Under this treatment from the power that was originally meant to harm, the pale-faced elf finally showed some color on her lips and cheeks, and the chaotic magic inside her began to calm down.

She could finally move more than just her eyes.

Struggling to get up off the ground, she looked at Lolth, who was putting a big bundle of crystals formed from Ultimate Power into a space magic bag, and expressed a look of gratitude.

“Lolth, why are you here?”

She looked at Lolth and could no longer help but ask.

“Why do you ask this right after coming back from the edge of death?” Lolth looked at Tina, who indeed seemed to be recovering her spirit, and felt relieved. “Isn’t it obvious that I came to save you?”

After saying this, Lolth couldn’t help but scold Tina.

“When you accidentally step into a half-plane like this, the best thing to do is stay still—especially in a place like this, which is clearly the Divine Kingdom of an evil god. You’re at an epic level but currently suppressed; there’s no way you can handle this. The right move is to conserve your strength and wait for help. But no, you ran so far that if I hadn’t arrived in time, you’d already be done for! ”

Although Lolth scolded Tina fiercely, Tina did not feel sad at all.

Mistress Lolth really did come to save me.

This thought circled in Tina’s mind, shattering all her previous bitterness, doubts, and relief, including the thought of “Is Mistress Lolth a good person?” which she temporarily forgot.

She came to save me!

In Tina’s heart, all that remained was a sweet feeling, like being dipped in a raspberry honey pot.

Even the relief of narrowly escaping death couldn’t compare to the joy of realizing, “Mistress Lolth came to save me.”

“You are right. I shouldn’t have run around or doubted your abilities. I mistakenly thought you hadn’t noticed this place—that was my mistake,” Tina said, lowering her head in apology to Lolth. Her tone was sincere, yet she couldn’t help but smile slightly. “I’m sorry, Mistress Lolth!”

“You don’t have to be so serious,” Lolth waved her hand when she heard Tina say this. “It’s also my fault for slacking off that made you unsure of the true level…”

She also realized that Tina’s behavior of “running around” might be based on the uncertainty of whether anyone would come to save her.

From an objective point of view, Tina’s thought is indeed very reasonable.

After all, the half-plane channel is not easily opened; even for herself, it took considerable effort.

Realizing that her lesson did not seem particularly justified, Lolth cleared her throat and changed the subject.

“Ahem, so, you got here early. Can you tell me what this place is all about?”

Upon hearing Lolth’s question, Tina, who had just escaped a near-death experience, immediately switched to work mode, beginning to analyze and report clearly.

“Understood, Mistress Lolth… First, you said this is a Divine Kingdom of an evil god, and I believe your guess is indeed correct. This half-plane is filled with basic magical energy, which is very similar to the power of the evil god. Also, the monsters you see have many traits of the evil god’s Spawn.”

“However, I believe the evil god here must have fallen or is gravely wounded and in deep slumber. It likely fought a battle initiated by the God of Light. This city sits at the center of the half-plane, but on the outskirts, I saw countless bones and weapons belonging to the God of Light’s Spawn—light beings and even angels.”

“At the same time, judging by the battle’s traces, it seems the God of Light’s Spawn initially invaded and gained an overwhelming advantage. The state of the bones supports this… Although the evil god’s Spawn was powerful, most of them were ‘killed by weapons.'”

“But on the contrary, those bright beings, from the bones, seem to have died at the same time.”

“So, I assume the battle unfolded like this: both sides clashed, with the Land of Light gaining an overwhelming advantage. Then, when the evil god personally intervened, the conflict escalated into a final showdown between the gods themselves.”

“The final stage of the divine battle should have taken place here—in the central city area of this half-plane!”

“Originally, there should have been many more powerful evil god spawns, sub-gods, and angels living in the central city of this half-plane, but as you can see… this city has been almost destroyed by a huge impact. From the remains of the city, I believe the reason for this half-plane’s decline and the destruction of this evil god city lies behind us.”

As Tina spoke, she tapped the two invisible magical powers… which should now be called a natural barrier formed by the intertwining of two divine forces.

Deep in the center of the pit behind the barrier, there was something tall and long that was faintly glowing. Surrounding it, five fixed “humanoid” figures dressed in robes reached out their hands toward the glowing object, but they seemed frozen in time, staying still as if solidified in place.

“This is likely a Divine Artifact cast down by a sub-god or the God of Light from the Land of Light, meant to seal and suppress this half-plane… And the presence nearby is probably a powerful subordinate of the evil god within this realm.”

After Tina explained the situation, Lolth nodded slightly, understanding the circumstances.

“I think I understand. Your information-gathering and analysis skills are quite strong… But the last point is wrong.”

Lolth said, placing her hand on the invisible Divine Force Field.

“The Divine Artifact in the center must be the ‘Rod of Eden,’ the very one the God of Light dropped. The Church of Light has been searching for it for over ten thousand years, with every pope and saintess attempting to recover it. But here, in a half-plane that seals and suppresses a fallen evil god’s Divine Kingdom, its value is insignificant compared to what it would be in the hands of the God of Light.”

As Lolth said this, she paused for a moment; her eyes looked beyond the Divine Force Field, having already seen the flow of divine power surrounding the staff.

“It is these few cultists who have used their lives to seal the Rod of Eden—stealing something from the God of Light. Even though they are a group of cultists, I have to say… their achievement is truly remarkable!”
