Chapter 566: The Invaded Spider Queen

This god of werewolves is definitely among the ugliest among the gods. It is said that it spent a great deal of time hunting creatures weaker than itself or capturing mortals in an attempt to establish its own faith-based kingdom, while also scheming carelessly to attack powerful demons—those not necessarily demon lords.
Yenogu’s greatest dream is to see its people, the werewolves, thrive and grow strong. It imagines a primary material plane controlled by its people, where intelligent races such as elves, humans, dwarves, and halflings are nothing but slaves and food for the werewolves.
Of course, such an unrealistic scenario can only come true if the world is destroyed. Even aside from the powerful true gods backing races like elves and humans, even the weakest of halfling deities are legitimate lower gods who sit on thrones—ones that no mere abyssal lord with newly acquired godly power can defeat.
Yet Yenogu knows that the werewolves in the primary material plane cannot achieve this goal, nor can it descend there in person. Therefore, it strongly supports believers from other races who worship it, attempting to secretly plot to overthrow the powers of these major races and dominate the world.
Although the human gods are constantly at war among themselves, they are highly united when facing foreign divine forces. Even the dark true gods of the evil faction firmly resist such faith-stealing acts by Yenogu.
After several failed attempts, this god of werewolves turned its attention to some remote regions of the main world and secluded, smaller material planes outside it, striving to expand its follower base and grow stronger without drawing the attention of those powerful true gods!
These not-so-secret details about Yenogu are well known among the gods in the Pantheon, and Donald naturally learned about them from his close ally, the neutral true god.
Seeing that the god of werewolves seemed unwilling to confront him, Donald was glad about it and focused most of his attention on the more powerful incarnation of the Spider Queen. As for Yenogu, he would leave it to Charlie!
Compared to the lower god incarnations of the Spider Queen, the god of werewolves only appeared as a demigod incarnation—undoubtedly an easier opponent for Charlie to deal with.

Under normal circumstances, a true god can possess multiple avatars. However, since each avatar can only have half of the god’s divine rank, a deity can only create an avatar of the same rank when it reaches the peak of the lower, middle, or upper divine tiers. At other times, it can only have an avatar of one rank lower. Although there are some exceptions, they are extremely rare and far more difficult to achieve than creating ordinary avatars. Thus, throughout history, few true gods have managed to do this.

“According to accurate information from the Goddess of Agriculture, the Spider Queen once reached the peak of the middle divine tier, but all her attempts to surpass that limit ended in failure. After suffering various setbacks over the past few years, although Flora’s divine rank has not declined, her strength has weakened to such an extent that she dares not expend too much divine energy to create avatars.”

“Because if she were to do so, she might fall from that peak status. It would be even more difficult to recover then!”

With these thoughts in mind, Donald and the Spider Queen’s avatar stood facing each other in midair. They looked at each other without fear and said calmly, “To deal with me, Flora, you must have paid a heavy price, right?”

Even though the other party was an avatar of a lower divine being while he was merely a demi-god avatar, his confidence gave him no fear.

“As long as I can get rid of you, this detestable desecrator, and satisfy my hatred, it’s all worth it. Moreover, your downfall can bring me huge gains!”

Now that Donald possessed a small realm, along with a World Tree that could bear Fruit of Laws and a complete Sky City, the news had spread among almost all true gods across the realms. Even the Spider Queen in the Abyss had heard of it.

The Spider Queen never expected her enemy to possess so many powerful treasures. Even as a middle divine being, she couldn’t help but feel envy. This time, she was able to persuade the God of Werewolves, Yenogu, to come, and deploy her only demi-god avatar—the strongest force she rarely used. It wasn’t because of her eloquence, but because of the wealth at stake. Flora hadn’t mentioned that Donald, the Natural Guardian, wasn’t as powerful as an ordinary newly risen god; she only spoke of the benefits they could gain by killing him together.

Yenogu himself was not a well-informed true god. He was first tempted by the many benefits promised by the Spider Queen, and although he immediately went to investigate the Nature Guardians firsthand, he had few allies even in the abyss—only enemies and powerful beings who disdained to associate with him. Thus, Yenogu obtained little accurate information, only rumors.

On the other hand, the benefits promised by the Spider Queen, such as sky cities and the World Tree, became verified due to widespread spread. With the powerful intermediate god, the Spider Queen, at her back, this werewolf, though usually cautious, surprisingly did not plan meticulously over decades or centuries as he usually would. Seeing an opportunity, he quickly accepted the Spider Queen’s proposal, and the two demon gods formed a temporary alliance.

It wasn’t that the Spider Queen couldn’t find stronger allies—it was that those she could find were all wary of the Elven Lord and dared not get involved in such matters. Regardless of the relationship between their goals and the Elven Lord, the entanglements between the Spider Queen and the Elven Lord were well-known.

If they joined forces with the chaotic and evil faction led by the Spider Queen to do things that the kind true gods disapproved of, who knew if the great Elven Lord, the strongest true god in the neutral and kind faction and said to be just one step away from the Supreme God, would punish them? Even if he was usually merciful and might not doom them, locking them away for a thousand or eight hundred years would still be a disaster for them!

As for those who weren’t too wary of the Elven Lord, they were all higher gods far stronger than Flora herself. Alliance with such beings was like seeking trouble—afterward, not to mention any benefits, escaping alive would already be fortunate; they might even lose their lives!

Thus, the Spider Queen had no choice but to turn to Yenogu, the werewolf god she disdained but had no real grudge against—and no close ties either!

“At least this werewolf is a true god, so he should be able to serve as a restraint. As long as those annoying bitches like Eilien don’t send intermediates, I have over an 80% chance of success!” that was what the Spider Queen thought. Seeing the werewolf god and the King of the North, who was responsible for guarding Donald, engage in battle as soon as they met, she prepared to strike at her hated target as well.

Although Yenogu’s semi-divine form was far weaker than the true form of the King of the North, who was a deity, he had three legendary demons to assist him, balancing the power between the two. The King of the North possessed the true artifact, the Spear of Ice, while Yenogu had the top-tier primary artifact, the Triple Flail. As a result, the battle was initially evenly matched, with no clear winner in sight for the time being.

Flora, convinced of her victory, grinned broadly and said arrogantly to Donald’s avatar guarding his true form, “How much strength do you still have left? Better surrender now—maybe I can spare you a place in my temple. After all, it’s been a long time since I’ve been close to a true deity with elven blood like you…”

“Just try and find out.”

No sooner had she spoken than two radiant figures appeared from opposite directions, forming a triangle with the earlier natural guardianship avatars and surrounding the Spider Queen’s lower-deity avatar.

Donald, who had already subdued Amps, understood what the Spider Queen meant—she wanted to use him as a sexual slave to provoke Donald’s pride as a man. He had originally planned to tease this demon god a bit more, but now, enraged, he decided to act sooner to avoid further complications.

“How is that possible!”

The appearance of two beings whose power was no less than that of semi-gods, with one even reaching the level of a lower deity, surprised not only the Spider Queen but also some of the true gods watching from afar.

In the Nodahil plane, outside the main world’s spatial barrier, the three goddess avatars supporting Donald were equally astonished.

The Avatar of the Agricultural Goddess laughed and said, “This kid has hidden himself really well! We didn’t even know he had secretly formed three avatars!”

The Mysterious Lady raised an eyebrow and smiled, “I’m afraid there’s more to surprise you! Don’t you feel that one of the avatars has a different aura from the other two?”

The Agricultural Goddess sensed carefully and exclaimed in surprise, “Huh? It’s a lower-deity avatar! Does that mean Donald has reached the peak of lower deities or has some other secret technique? How is that possible? He hasn’t even seized the throne yet!”

“Why overthink it? The stronger Donald gets, the better for us, right? Once he successfully claims the throne, let’s immediately sign a formal alliance!”

“I’m just too surprised! This guy managed to make such an astonishing breakthrough right under my nose. I thought I already had a high opinion of him, but it turns out I still underestimated him…”
Not only was the Goddess of Agriculture surprised, but even the quiet and stern Goddess of Elves, Lauren, nodded slightly, looking thoughtful.
With that, the three goddesses fell silent and focused on the battle in the main world.
Donald’s three avatars each held weapons; the tallest of them wielded a square wooden whip that resembled a wooden stick, which it swung at the Spider Queen.
The whip seemed to traverse space as if effortlessly—despite being thousands of feet away, it appeared right behind the Spider Queen in an instant. The surrounding space seemed to freeze as well. Even though the avatar possessed the power of its divine authority, it was completely unable to exert force, just like an ordinary person.
“Slap!”
The wooden whip struck lightly, producing a sound like bamboo slats hitting thick flesh!
The Spider Queen’s avatar, having no time to dodge, convulsed as if struck by high voltage before freezing in place, its face showing extreme embarrassment.
