Divine Envoy
Through the bond of faith, the Spider Goddess naturally knew what Li Lin had done. Her furious mental howl immediately resounded deep within everyone's hearts. The mercenaries didn't even have time to resist before losing consciousness and fainting. Li Lin had already cast a spell on himself, so he was completely unaffected. As Eternal Library, Nia's powerful Magic Power resistance allowed her to remain unfazed by the wrath of the gods. Angela frowned slightly, glancing at her equally displeased sisters, and gave a cold snort.
"Have you finally arrived? I've been waiting for so long."
A fanatical, expectant smile spread across her face as she gazed at the otherworldly gate engulfed in Hell.
With the Spider Goddess's roar, several unidentified, liquid-like monsters emerged from the doorway— the Spider Queen's handmaids, terrifying representatives of the evil god. Following them were ferocious demons, greedily inhaling the air of the Prime Material Plane, their crazed eyes seeking nothing but destruction. Under the Spider Queen's overwhelming divine power, the earthquake, which had unleashed tremendous energy, began to subside, or rather, barely stabilize. This scene rekindled hope in the desperate Dark Elf; they loudly praised the great Spider Goddess's power, imploring her to save these faithful followers.
The area bound by the Mythal was limited to Dark Elf, so when the Yochlol and the demons passed through the interdimensional gates, Li Lin immediately withdrew his power. Most of the Dark Elf had already been reduced to corpses buried under rubble in the unexpected natural disaster. Even if the remaining ones still possessed fighting ability, they wouldn't be a match for them. Therefore, he refocused his power on his defense, then intently observed the enemy before him for a moment before making his decision.
"Go and deal with those Yochlol."
Li Lin pointed to the Spider Queen's maid and gave the order to Angela.
"Leave the demons to me."
However, Angela unexpectedly objected to Li Lin's order.
"I don't want them. What fun is there in those slime-like things?"
"They are the messengers of the Spider Goddess."
Faced with Angela's disgruntled protest, Li Lin leisurely offered an explanation, knowing full well how to get the little one to obey.
"So you mean the so-called divine messenger, you should understand what I mean."
Upon hearing this, Angela immediately fell silent. She glared fiercely at the semi-viscous monsters, a smug smile playing on her lips.
"Master, if you're not quick enough, I'll steal the rest of the prey from you!"
With those words, Angela's petite figure transformed into a dazzling white light, rushing towards the pitiful messengers who were unaware of the tragic fate that awaited them. Li Lin could only shrug, then shifted his gaze to the demons behind him. He knew very well that Angela hated gods and their messengers. Even if an angel appeared before him, she would probably kill it without hesitation. So, it was best to go along with her. However, Li Lin also understood that even killing a few divine messengers wouldn't force that cunning fellow to rashly leave her divine realm and come to the Prime Material Plane. Considering that such a powerful clash of divine forces might attract the attention of the God of Justice, he planned to finish the matter quickly.
Thus, the demons who had just arrived on the Prime Material Plane and hadn't even had a chance to display their power received an extraordinary reception. Countless Magic Missile rained down upon them like a storm. Lightning with immense power and holy energy rays that were completely irresistible to demons were also mixed in. Although the demons tried to steady themselves and use their strength to resist these attacks, they proved utterly insignificant in the face of this terrifying rain of powerful and Spell Penetration.
Soon, a demon's wings were torn to shreds by Magic Missile, and it was then blasted into the Abyss created by an earthquake by a massive fireball. Aside from praying that it was indeed connected to its homeland and not reduced to a bloody pulp, this unfortunate creature had no other options. The next unlucky one fared even worse; Li Lin didn't even bother with words, sending it back home in the simplest and most brutal way. The lucky survivor, seemingly oblivious to the magnitude of the crisis it had just escaped, still charged at Li Lin with its six arms waving. Naturally, a dazzling, seven-colored light enveloped its body, completely reducing this fool, who might have escaped unscathed, to the lowest form of Mane —the cowardly demon—and sending it down the same path as the two tragically deceased.
While Li Lin was dealing with the demon, Angela also experienced a different kind of fun. She was surprised to find that these slimes could not only transform into various different forms, but could even turn into smoke to escape her attacks. This made Angela, who was already dissatisfied with the "fragility" of her toys, extremely excited.
For those evil Yochlol, this pain was akin to being punished by their gods. In solid form, they had no way to keep up with Angela's lightning-fast movements and inflict any harm on her. Even when using the divine magic bestowed upon her by the Spider Goddess, Angela's velvet folding fan would deflect all of it. Even if one or two shots did hit, they would have no effect on Angela, who possessed a special constitution and was an undead creature.
However, Vampire Species whose pride has been wounded will never so easily forgive anyone who dares to lay a hand on them. Angela completely disregards the fact that the other party is acting out of self-preservation. In her view, anyone other than Li Lin who dares to obstruct, evade, or retaliate against her actions is an unforgivable act of rudeness. They should just stand there and let her do as she pleases; anyone who tries to resist must be severely punished.
This is utterly illogical, but the Yochlol find themselves "forced" to accept it. They are being chased everywhere by Angela, and even when they try to escape or fight back by turning into smoke, Angela inflicts excruciating pain upon them. Her small, delicate, and fair hands seem to possess some kind of unpredictable power, able to grasp the Yochlol's illusions and inflict boundless suffering upon them.
Under the cruel torture of the Vampire Species, these divine messengers had no time to display their abilities before becoming lambs to the slaughter. Their cries of agony under Angela's attacks reached unimaginable levels. Seeing the current wretched state of their once-respected divine messengers plunged the Dark Elf, whose hopes had been rekindled, back into despair. They deeply felt the powerlessness of the gods. Even the divine messengers she had dispatched could not change the Dark Elf's predicament.
As Angela giggled as she tore the last Yochlol to pieces, cruelly ordering her to use her special ability to heal again and striving to increase the number of parts from seventeen to eighteen, Li Lin leisurely used five Explosive Fireball to incinerate the last demon to ashes. He gazed at the dim, chaotic gate before him, considered for a moment, and then shrugged. He reopened the Eternal Library, found the most suitable incantation for the current situation, and cast a spell. Instantly, a flame compressed to its extreme shot from Li Lin's fingertips and entered the interdimensional gate.
The goddess's furious howl rose again; Li Lin's actions had thoroughly ignited her killing intent. As a goddess lurking in the depths of the Abyss, the Spider Queen's palace was built on a vast spider web, and she moved forward using these webs as a means of propulsion. Although it was unknown whether these webs were strong enough to support a fortress, at least their nature remained unchanged. Thus, the magical flames cast by Li Lin immediately began to burn on them, and it was this that completely touched the Spider Goddess's sore spot.
In the world of gods, killing a divine messenger might be considered an occasional minor incident, but for a mortal to dare overstep his bounds and set fire to a god's residence is an act of utter unprecedented proportions. This caused the already enraged Spider Goddess to abandon her last shred of hesitation and doubt, and she decided to personally deal with this audacious mortal who dared to blaspheme against the gods.
Although entering the Prime Material Plane would limit most of her power, the Spider Goddess no longer considered these issues. As a new god who appeared after the fall of the Magic Empire, she had no idea of the immense power of Arcane Mage. At this moment, the Spider Goddess only intended to completely destroy Li Lin and bring his soul into her palace, to inflict eternal torment upon him to vent her rage.
Then, with a powerful tremor in the air, the enormous interdimensional gate expanded once more. Soon, several thick, jet-black spider legs emerged from it, almost violently tearing the entire space apart. Giant spiders surged out from within, covering the ground, densely packed like layers of vibrant black carpet. This sudden change caused Angela scream. She dropped the half-dead Yochlol in her hand, leaped upwards, and returned to Li Lin's side.
Whether one is afraid of spiders or snakes, it's probably no longer a question.
"Foolish mortals!!"
Amidst the deafening roar that seemed to echo throughout the entire Underdark, a woman with the upper body of Dark Elf and the lower body of a spider emerged from the endless void gate. Her furious expression distorted her otherwise delicate features, eliciting only endless disgust.
"How dare you blaspheme against the gods! I will make you suffer unimaginable pain!"
I don't think so.
Facing the enraged god, Li Lin floated up again, his face grim as he stared at the evil god before him, muttering incantations. Then, with a "snap," Li Lin suddenly slammed the Eternal Library shut in his hands, simultaneously issuing the command to destroy the Mythal.
The destruction of the powerful Mythal of Illusion would cause unimaginable damage. Amidst the intense bursts and tremors of air, the Gate to Another World began to shake. It was battered by the Mythal of Illusion's chaotic Magic Power, like a wooden bridge about to break under a flood. Ultimately, it twisted and vanished, disappearing into nothingness in the void.
"Besides, I'm not your enemy."
Just as the Spider Goddess was terrified, Li Lin seized the opportunity to pull Angela backward, and at the same time snapped his fingers to release the barrier that had been blocking the Elf Goddess.
As a vibrant, emerald-green light tore through the darkness, the Elf Goddess finally reappeared before the crowd. Using the bodies of her people to fully reveal herself, she perfectly embodied the elegance and beauty that elves were meant to possess. The leather armor made of leaves barely concealed the goddess's body; in fact, her beautiful, long green hair served far more purpose. Sensing this powerful, terrifying divine force, the Spider Goddess finally realized the problem. She knew she had fallen into a trap, but now she had no choice.
The longbow raised by the Elf Goddess signifies that she has no further choice.
