Chapter 185: This Evil God’s Building Looks a Bit Familiar, Doesn’t It?

The whale statue obviously could not respond to Lolth’s words, so she decided not to dwell on it any longer.

Anyway, there are no conditions for a comparative experiment right now. Even if my guess is correct, the “magic concentration” that causes this little thing to react must be close to the center of an ordinary forbidden spell and Divine Artifact.

This doesn’t need to be understood immediately, so Lolth decided to talk about it after returning to the territory.

After putting the whale statue back in her pocket, Lolth continued rising, breaking the surface of the water.

What she saw next was Patricia, looking completely exhausted on the crystal boat, and Tina, similarly drained, lying on the edge of the boat, letting out a long sigh.

The only one on the boat who still looked energetic was Dorothy, who seemed to have been exhausted long ago.

“Oh, thank you! I am saved.”

Realizing that no one would help her, Lolth quietly climbed onto the boat and gave Patricia a thumbs up.

However, despite Lolth’s sincere praise, Patricia showed no sign of happiness; instead, she rolled her eyes.

If she had the strength to speak, she would have surely made a sarcastic comment.

But at that moment, Patricia could only wave her hand and say, “You take the wheel.”

Insaesya Fear Ray was, to her, a secret weapon she had always kept hidden.

After all, this destructive forbidden spell consumed even more magic power than an ordinary destructive forbidden spell.

In theory, once the spell was activated, it could continue until all magic power was depleted.

The previous beam attack had lasted several minutes, which had severely drained Patricia, who had already been casting high-level spells without pause.

Now, she had only about one-tenth or one-twelfth of her magic power left.

Maintaining the forbidden spell requires a lot of mental strength.

Lolth didn’t mind contributing her magic at that point, so she nodded and didn’t refuse; instead, she channeled her magic into the crystal boat, propelling the small vessel forward along its planned course.

After an unknown amount of time in this space, where there was neither sun nor moon and it was difficult to gauge the passage of time, the group encountered no further obstacles while drifting through the monotonous, dull waters filled with skeletons.

Finally, just as Patricia and Tina had nearly restored half of their magic, a slight change appeared in their view.

“I see it… there’s a shadow of a building over there!”

Dorothy, who had been sitting at the front of the boat, cried out first.

“I see it too…”

Soon, Tina, now sitting up, also noticed that point.

Patricia and Lolth remained calm, as they had sensed a massive surge of magic in that direction from the very beginning; they had never doubted their course or felt impatient when nothing else appeared along the way.

Now, the shadow of a building had emerged—something both had expected.

After all, Patricia could tell that roughly a day had passed by gauging the time through her magic recovery speed, which matched her earlier estimation based on the distance she had sensed using divination magic after speaking with Lolth.

Lolth had figured out the same thing in her own way—by eating three lunches when she felt hungry three times. Of course, the others had chosen to use magic to convert energy instead, avoiding hunger altogether.

Not everyone was in the mood to eat egg salad sandwiches and salted egg yolk seaweed rice balls in the Divine Kingdom.

Still, actually seeing the silhouette of the building was reassuring for both of them.

Patricia squinted in the direction of the shadow, and as the boat continued to approach, the silhouette gradually became clearer, emerging from the darkness.

The tall building that suddenly emerged on the water seemed to be built for giants, with ancient green stone pillars supporting a black arching dome. Its square structure had no side rooms or extensions, resembling a huge and isolated hall, with long steps and a large stone circular platform strongly defining its style… All this made Patricia feel a little familiar.

“It’s like I’ve seen it in a book… which ancient civilization’s ruins could it be…?”

“It looks like a place similar to a temple.”

Lolth looked up toward the source of the strong magical waves and also found the silhouette of the building somewhat familiar.

Then, the two of them kept thinking.

Finally, as the ship drew a little closer, both showed a look of recognition.

“Ah—I remembered! It’s the ruins of ‘Lost Plane,’ and it has something similar to this…”

As Patricia said this, her brow furrowed further.

Even though she remembered where this style of building came from, she did not understand why it would appear deep in the evil Divine Kingdom.

And Lolth, hearing Patricia’s mumbling, found it even stranger.

Because the style of the building she remembered wasn’t from Lost Plane.

It was from her own hometown in the Abyss dimension…

In this evil Divine Kingdom, the outer layer looks like the Demon King Castle, while the inner layer resembles certain buildings from the abyss… Lolth has already wondered if this evil god might actually come from the abyss.

To be fair, it doesn’t seem impossible that if something from the abyss became a god, it wouldn’t be the kind of god filled with love and kindness like the God of Light, which is typical of the main plane.

Many evil gods are originally deities from outside the main plane, so there’s nothing wrong with this evil god coming from the abyss…

However, there is no record of this in the abyss!

According to her understanding of the various races in the abyss, although the literacy rate in that realm is low, and before the Demon King unified them, the races only fought with each other…

Still, Lolth is at least sure of one thing about all demon races…

That is, if someone’s ancestors were glorious, they definitely would make noise, pass down stories, and teach each generation not to forget any strong warrior that came from their clan.

Just like the troll clan’s “Stone Forest,” where when one of their legends arose, they would set up a stone with their name on it. Currently, the trolls across the entire territory of the giant demon race are contemplating constructing homes on these stones—and they have almost removed all the stones over three meters high from the territories of neighboring races that extend for thousands of miles.

If any Abyssal Demon had an ancestor who was an evil god, Lolth, who enjoys reading odd books and listening to strange tales, would definitely know about it!

Moreover, it is also connected to the “Lost Plane”!

Looking at the situation, Patricia the Great Sage probably isn’t mistaken.

Even Lolth feels a bit confused about this matter.

But anyway… they definitely need to go inside this enormous temple-like building to take a look.

Perhaps once inside, they will discover something!
