I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [268]

“Today’s target is… eating a dragon.”

The Demon Lord Ariel stood at the entrance to the Great Labyrinth, muttering strangely to herself.

A second later, she caught the oddity in her own behavior.

“Why do I want to eat a dragon?”

“Because dragon meat is delicious. Actually, I think eel is way better. If only I had some white rice to go with it…”

Bizarre internal monologue spilled from her lips—completely unprompted.

Her brow furrowed instantly.

That strange spider’s soul was already beginning to fuse with hers. It was an inevitability now.

Her thoughts, her personality—she could feel them shifting, warping.

And considering that even the spider herself had no idea how to undo this state… she was well and truly out of options.

There was, of course, one final method: kill that weird spider completely.

But there was a huge problem with that.

Namely—the bizarre godlike being beside the spider. A being she couldn’t see through at all.

Too strange. Too subtle.

Standing before that entity felt like facing an ordinary human… yet her instincts screamed that it was anything but. Something divine. Something unfathomable.

The only comparison she could make… was the evil god D.

Forget it. Why am I even thinking about this right now?

The demon lord rubbed her stomach. “Let’s just eat first. Dinner tonight: earth dragon.”

The moment she finished speaking, a sharp fluctuation of teleportation energy rippled through the air in front of her.

Her brows drew tight as she stared at the portal—and the armored figure who stepped out.

Administrator Gyurie Gyurie.

The Demon Lord wasted no time. “Tell me. What do I look like to you right now?”

The dragon god in black armor grimaced as though the answer tasted bitter. “Both. And neither. You and that strange spider are completely merged now—there’s no way to tell where one ends and the other begins. But your consciousness still appears to be dominant.”

“Ahh~~ So it really is like that.” Ariel let out a half-laugh, half-sigh and scratched her head.

The moment she realized what she was doing—scratching her head, something the old her would never have done—her body went rigid.

Honestly, she’d already suspected as much… but hearing it confirmed still stung a little.

“Even the way I talk is starting to sound like that spider.”

“Oh, and while we’re at it—my whole way of thinking is getting kinda spider-ish too.” Ariel raised a finger, half amused by the observation.

“Yeah…” Gyurie’s face twisted further. “That tracks.”

“If not for that influence, I doubt I’d be this optimistic. I wouldn’t have agreed to a contract with that mysterious weirdo either.” Ariel sighed and gave her head another helpless scratch, then fixed her eyes on Gyurie’s. “Do you know who that mysterious god actually is? Because honestly, he gives me the same vibe as the evil god D. Just as powerful, maybe even more.”

“...Hm??” Gyurie’s expression froze. His voice dropped. “Who are you talking about?”

“What? You don’t know?” Ariel’s expression shifted instantly. “Aren’t you the system’s administrator? You didn’t see who I fought with a while back? I’d just caught up to that weird spider… Wait—what you saw was distorted?”

“I don’t know what exactly happened,” Gyurie said darkly, “but from your tone and behavior, I can guess some of it. According to the system records, you fought the spider… lost… and surrendered.”

“To twist the record that much…?” Ariel was stunned. “That’s… wild.”

“What happened?” Gyurie pressed. “Tell me everything, Ariel.”

She hesitated for a moment—but ultimately didn’t resist. She laid out the truth of what had occurred.

The more he listened, the darker Gyurie’s expression became. When she finished, he said grimly, “When I first prayed to the evil god D for help, this planet was already marked within the Ancient Dragon and Titan System as her territory. For another unknown god to suddenly appear without notifying her—that would be seen as a direct and profound provocation.”

“What does that god want? In the Titan and Dragon Systems, D is one of the strongest entities. Who would dare challenge her? Or… is someone trying to use this planet to drag her into war?”

The longer he spoke, the more terrifying his speculations became.

Ariel, by contrast, remained unfazed. “I don’t think it’s that serious. At the very least, he promised to kill the elven patriarch Potimas Harrifenas, rescue Sariel, and even save this world.”

“...What?”

Gyurie went completely still. His brows pulled together tightly.

“Are you serious?”

“If he wasn’t lying, then yes,” Ariel said, twirling a lock of silver hair idly around one finger. “A god that powerful probably takes his contracts seriously.”

“I want to meet him.” Gyurie’s voice was firm. “Ariel, are you sure he’s traveling with that spider?”

“I am.” She plucked out a strand of hair, popped it into her mouth, and started chewing without even realizing it.

“Then there’s no time to waste.” Gyurie wasn’t even paying attention to Ariel’s soul state anymore. His thoughts were consumed by the mysterious god who claimed he could liberate Sariel.

“How are you feeling?”

In the forest clearing, a massive white cocoon woven from silk trembled violently. A second later—

Crack!

It split apart in all directions.

From the wreckage stepped a truly bizarre creature.

The upper body was human. The lower body—spider.

Her human half appeared to be a stunningly beautiful girl of about fifteen or sixteen.

Long, pure-white hair cascaded down her back, faintly glowing.

Her skin was ghost-pale, as though it had never known sunlight. Only the faint flush of her lips proved that this strange creature’s human body was, in fact, alive.

“I actually evolved… just like that? All the way to full experience?”

The soft, melodious voice came from the girl’s mouth—her human half.

“Unbelievable.”

Even her spider half had a mouth now, letting out a hiss that carried a voice of its own.

“And yup—I am female. Thank goodness I didn’t turn out to be a dude.”

“...Huh??”

It was Zhongli’s turn to be completely thrown off by Kumoko’s strange remark.
