For the Gods (8K) (Continued)
Having acquired the spider's strange five senses, Alice's current feelings are quite subtle.
Of course, with frequent replacements, the commands that come from the brain of each spider are in bursts, and their actions become somewhat uncoordinated.
But overall, it is still under Alice's control.
A bottle was placed nearby by Vier.
Soon, dozens of spiders lined up and entered.
Once it was full, Vier quickly put the cap back on and replaced it with a new bottle.
New spiders have arrived.
"A spider about the size of a thumb is about right."
After filling about 20 bottles, totaling 600 spiders, Vier took out a large bag and put all the spiders inside. Confirming that they weren't strong enough to break the plastic bottles, she nodded in satisfaction.
But the thought of being covered in spiders gave her goosebumps.
Compared to that, spider silk is also not very acceptable.
After leaving the cave and collecting the large amount of spider silk, they went to a house that had been built not long ago and began to set up.
She came to the gap in the middle, looked at the sticky, dense, pure white spider web covering the ground, which was almost 5 centimeters thick when stacked up. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and lay down on it.
After taking a few sips of the Water of Purification, the other clones beside it began to work, starting to wrap around it in circles.
Because it required a tight wrapping, the process took a long time.
Finally, they saw a creature lying there completely sealed like a cocoon, occasionally moving slightly, which made Alice's mouth twitch.
"How should I put it, it's like there are some bugs inside that are about to crawl out."
Let's call it the Vier Worm for now.
Twenty clones stood around, then suddenly opened the lid, pouring out the countless spiders inside.
Instead of crawling around, the spiders quickly climbed onto the web and soon covered the entire web.
Vier, hiding inside, felt a chill run down her spine; she could even hear rustling sounds.
"Is this bug going to swallow the net and crawl in?"
Never mind, the ceremony has already begun, close your eyes.
A dim environment was needed, so the entire body went outside, the doors and windows were closed, and every opening was blocked. Finally, a black cloth was placed over the door, and everything fell into darkness.
"Call."
Alice wiped away non-existent cold sweat.
Because it was her own relationship, she could sense Vier's subtle state at that moment.
The biggest challenge of this ceremony is that it lasts for three days.
A three-day physical and mental challenge.
Even if the spiders do manage to crawl inside the web, they have no choice but to endure it.
The clothes were tight, and Vier had wrapped them around her neck, trouser legs, and ears beforehand, making it difficult for the little spiders to climb onto her.
As for the nose, it's definitely too big to fit inside.
As for its mouth, of course it's closed; you can't eat a spider, can you?
If you listen carefully while lying next to the door, you can even hear strange noises coming from it.
"Thank goodness the ritual didn't use cockroaches or worms, otherwise I..."
Just thinking about that scene gave Ye Qian goosebumps.
"It's really a bit of a mess."
Vier is just the beginning; the real body will follow.
This kind of ordeal comes once again with every subsequent promotion.
emmmm...
Ye Qian stated that she is not a masochist; if she were actually bitten by a spider, she wouldn't scream happily, but would only feel scared.
"Phew, whatever, I'll bear with it for now. I can pay attention to other things later. I should really keep an eye on the Holy Church World."
The place where the members of Dusk had possessed many souls and repeatedly conquered has now undergone earth-shattering changes.
Although Ye Qian didn't pay special attention, the information still reached her.
As the average level of the members of Dusk rises, the Possession of ordinary soldiers and squad leaders has gradually become more common.
Conversely, many Lord's Army with lower quality have actually been unknowingly controlled by the Dusk members.
Some people even stayed in this world for several days at a stretch, only leaving when they died in battle.
The entire Holy Church's fighting spirit seemed to have been inspired by the Lord, becoming extremely terrifying.
Before anyone knew it, the scales of victory had tipped.
At this moment, in the Holy Church World.
Ms. D1 arrived at the scene.
She took out a mirror and looked at herself. As usual, she wore a black school uniform skirt, black tights, and shoulder-length short hair, with fair skin and slightly oval face features.
"Good, not bad."
His gaze fell into the distance, where several small teams were gathering.
Because of the system, he knew that the five 10-man squads originally belonged to different units. However, after the captains Possession the members of Dusk, they immediately left their original armies under the pretext of orders from their superiors and gathered in this place.
At that moment, the 50 people had just arrived at the scene.
"Then, let's draw lots to decide who will be the commander."
A dark-skinned, bald soldier carrying the Lord's Army flag grinned as he looked at the others.
In terms of the body's inherent strength, the one he Possession was the strongest among them. However, the combat power of a soul-transmigrated individual cannot be calculated so simply. In reality, the people in front of him possessed more skills than him and had more seniority. Each of them was a Level 2 member who had completed their personal career upgrade tasks. Therefore, he could only use this method to select a leader.
"Alright, it seems neither of us is willing to concede to the other, so... I'll go."
The man turned around, wrote five notes, rolled them up, and threw them in front of him.
"You four choose first, and I'll choose the last one, of which only one belongs to the team leader. How about that?"
"Can."
The four people took turns picking up one card before the man finally picked up the last one.
Let's all open it together.
"Oh ho, it's me." The tall, fair-skinned man next to him clapped his hands, gesturing to the others, "Then, my men, I am your commander."
"Alright, alright," the dark-skinned man sighed.
"Where's the next mission?" someone asked.
The Tall Man, who was the commander, took out a tree branch and drew a simple map on the ground.
"This is where we are now, Mile Village." He pointed to the center of the map. "The last time I transmigrated, I appeared here, Black City. This town is now almost deserted, its defenses are extremely weak. After rounds of fighting, only about 300 soldiers remain, isolated and without support. I know there's a very important item inside, but I didn't have a chance to get it before. Now..."
"300 people? With only 50 of us, can we really manage?" The dark-skinned man frowned.
"Yes, absolutely. The morale of that city has basically collapsed. We don't need to worry about anything this time. We can take it easily. If there is any danger, we'll just die once."
"Alright, fine, we'll do as you say. You're the commander." The others nodded helplessly.
"Okay, let's go."
That's what everyone decided.
Arriving in front of the other bewildered soldiers, the Tall Man stepped onto the steps and looked down at all the soldiers below.
"All assemble. As ordered, you will be carrying out a special mission under my leadership." A deep, powerful voice immediately drew the attention of all the soldiers. "Right now, eight kilometers to our northwest, there is a city called Black City. It was originally the stronghold of the Evil Cult, but after several waves of attacks, the enemy has suffered heavy losses and lost their will to fight. Our mission is to secretly infiltrate that city and obtain its treasures. Do you all understand?"
No one shouted, so the four captains who had been possessed could only yell enthusiastically, "Understood!"
This prompted even the ordinary soldiers to shout.
Morale has been barely raised.
"Alright, let's go."
At a command, the troops began to advance across the war-torn wasteland.
Although it's only 8 kilometers away, the road may not be safe. After all, this is already enemy-occupied territory, and there is a possibility of encountering a large enemy force.
However, they hadn't gone far when a beautiful young girl sitting next to a pile of stones appeared before them.
"Hey, beautiful." A local who wasn't Possession saw this and excitedly whistled.
The school uniform skirt that accentuated the girl's figure, her youthful and alluring physique, and her stunning beauty—this outfit and appearance simply excited these soldiers who had been in war for so long.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I saw a goddess.
However, the eyes of the five warriors who had been possessed changed at this moment.
Just as they were wondering if it was the same Dusk crew member, the girl suddenly disappeared.
The commander had a sudden inspiration and turned to shout, "This is our lord's messenger! Everyone kneel down!"
After saying that, he ignored everyone else and knelt down abruptly in front of the spot where Miss D1 had been sitting.
The other four team leaders were taken aback at first, but then quickly understood what was meant and knelt down one after another.
The soldiers behind were shocked when they saw this.
Perhaps the headband was a bit too good, and the girl's appearance was indeed extraordinary. Moreover, she suddenly disappeared after appearing. What else could explain this except that it was related to the Lord?
For a moment, the soldiers seemed to realize what was happening and knelt down on the ground.
A dozen seconds later, the commander stood up again and shouted to all the soldiers with a serious expression, "This is a divine revelation, indicating that the path ahead is correct. If we can complete the mission, we will meet the messengers of God in heaven after we die."
As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers below became excited.
Can we meet that beautiful messenger of God in Heaven?
Everyone felt a surge of emotion.
The existence of God seems to have been confirmed for the first time; otherwise, how can we explain all this?
Not to mention, miracles have been happening one after another lately. Countless soldiers, as if inspired by God, have become fanatical believers.
Clearly, they wouldn't do this for no reason; it must be a miracle of the Lord.
Then...
After all that commotion, the soldiers on the scene were surprisingly motivated to fight.
The other team leaders looked at the commander and shrugged.
However, they were also curious as to why that girl was here. Judging from her modern clothes, she was probably a higher-ranking member of Dusk. Was she on some kind of mission?
With this in mind, the troops began to speed up their march.
More than an hour later, in Black City.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The soldiers standing on the city wall rang the bell again, but by this time, many of the already exhausted soldiers had lost their will to fight when they saw the enemy charging in the distance.
Similar attacks have been blocked many times.
Swoosh—
Arrows flew in from afar.
The soldiers standing above quickly retaliated.
More than 200 people are scattered on the city's rooftops, many of whom have been up all night and are now resting nearby.
The city guard was hastily awakened and, looking down at the enemy with their morale soaring, was already somewhat desperate.
This group of enemy troops was larger than the previous groups, and before the attack, they even repaired a catapult that the Holy Church Army had abandoned a few days earlier in the distance.
Swoosh—
