Volume 1 Chapter 621
by post_apiChapter 621: This Can’t Be a Fool
The Dimensional Barrier shook, and the Queen of the Undead narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Hmph, trying to escape?"
As she said this, layers of gray mist surrounded Lolth.
Although she was the goddess of the planes… the Queen of the Undead’s skills in spatial magic were indeed not as good as Lolth’s.
However, she did not need to stop Lolth’s spatial magic.
Even if Lolth used all her power to break the spatial barrier…
The Queen of the Undead’s authority was related to the realm of "souls."
She could easily trap Lolth in the current plane by sealing her soul.
For beings of divine level, even if they have weaknesses and shortcomings, their incredibly strong points are enough to cover them up.
However, this was also something Lolth expected.
Because she had no intention of running away.
"Opening the Dimensional Barrier is not necessarily to go outside…"
She felt the aura of the "soul" being locked, looked at the Queen of the Undead, and said calmly.
"Do you want to let ‘The End’ in?" the Queen of the Undead laughed. "But if it were that easy for Him to come in, He would have done so already."
"It is precisely because this used to be His ‘Divine Kingdom’ that the restrictions He faces are far greater than mine."
As the Queen of the Undead said this, Lolth lowered her eyes.
"Although I don’t know what restrictions He has, if He still can’t come in like this… then I can only say He is truly useless."
Lolth whispered softly, and a dark magic swirled around her.
It was the Ultimate Power she had used many times before.
This time, Lolth was not just borrowing the Ultimate Power.
She had also crafted a divine spell.
It was not something she made up, but an official divine spell from The Final Church.
She had seen this spell once over Hillenbrand Town, noted it down from those two unfortunate beings who summoned the evil god.
It was the spell to open the Realm of the End and summon the God of Demise—of course, it was a safe, improved version!
"Come forth! The End!"
Lolth shouted loudly, just like saying, "Go, Pikachu!"
From behind her, a tear in the Dimensional Barrier had been forcibly opened, and vibrations of the Ultimate Power echoed from within.
It connected with the Ultimate Power that surged within Lolth’s spell.
Yes, the God of Demise could not enter this Divine Kingdom, which held the power of death, due to being "split" and some tricks of the Goddess of Order years ago.
However, no matter what tricks or limitations there are…
It was impossible to keep the God of Demise out when someone inside actively "summoned" Him!
Moreover, this summoner was Lolth!
Even without considering the boost from the divine spell Lolth cast, she now had gained some authority over this Divine Kingdom of death.
The divine spell of "summoning" was like an invitation.
What could be more valuable than an invitation letter from the master of this place?
"The only question is, even if we take a chance… who does the End care about more, me or you?"
Lolth looked at the changing expression of the Death Queen and smiled.
In the next moment, a powerful wave of Ultimate Power broke through the gray mist that was holding Lolth back, rushing toward the Death Queen!
"Oh—looks like it is!"
Just as these two gods began to clash in the Divine Kingdom, Lolth truly activated the space spell that would let her "escape."
Her figure vanished from the palace!
And at the same time…
Even though the two gods had descended into this shaky Divine Kingdom and were fighting fiercely, in the area where Dorothy and the others were, they surprisingly did not feel anything unusual.
Kanor, who had completed her first task, held a gray crown in her hand and looked unusually unsettled.
"Wow… this is really quite useful…"
This was her task goal and also her task reward.
A truly genuine Divine Artifact.
However, rather than saying it was remade by herself, Kanor knew it was more like…
She had simply helped a Divine Artifact, which had been floating and "existing" in the Divine Kingdom without a physical form, regain its shell.
When it comes to Divine Artifact level, the concept of existence is certainly not limited to just "physical form."
Just like the Rod of Eden, even if someone broke it and used it for firewood, it would continue to "exist."
All it needs is a branch from any apple tree in the Garden of Eden, and the Rod of Eden can come back to life right there.
This "Crown of the Forgotten" is the same.
Although the deity is dead, this Divine Artifact is still "alive."
No, one could even say… it is because the deity is dead that this crown has come to life.
After all, in a certain sense, this Divine Kingdom is a bit special—just like in the Plague realm, here the Divine Kingdom existed first, and then the deity came.
Just like how the Rod of Eden cannot gain awareness in the Land of Light…
If the deity were still alive, the Divine Artifact could only be a lifeless object.
And the reason Kanor has not yet taken on the second-rank task is that she is making the most of the "Crown of the Forgotten" she has.
Although it is fractured, this Divine Artifact truly knows too much.
If it were an ordinary person, they might not be able to communicate with it…
After all, the Rod of Eden was able to communicate with Lolth because it sensed her aura and chose to get closer to her, creating a soul connection.
However, Kanor has the presence of "Versatile Kitchenware"…
She can transform herself into a "magic device."
Therefore, she naturally has the ability to communicate with the "Crown of the Forgotten."
"Well… for now, I should ask him what this ‘Legacy Task’ is all about."
Kanor thought this as the mercury, which had already merged with her, surged and covered the skin of her right hand.
Her right hand, now like reflective mercury, formed into tendrils that touched the surface of the Crown of the Forgotten.
In an instant, Kanor felt that the Item Spirit was indeed not very wary of her.
"Hello."
She adjusted her soul’s energy and shared her kindness with the Versatile Kitchenware.
The "Crown of the Forgotten" quickly sent back a reply.
But the reply was a bit different from what Kanor had imagined.
"I can hear you—you can talk!"
"Oh wait, can I talk too?"
"Wow, this is super cool! What is going on here?"
"Wow—ah—! Can you hear me?"
"This can’t be my imagination, right?"
A slightly noisy voice echoed from Kanor’s soul.
She paused for a second and then showed a look of disbelief.
This "Crown of the Forgotten"… it must be some kind of crazy fool!
