Chapter 426 The Spider God’s Fear

The sensation of being watched disappeared.

Helen and the others understood immediately.

The Nightmare Spider Demon God had left.

If it had shown itself, they’d have had the chance to kill four gods today.

What a shame.

Still, the haul was enormous.

And the biggest winner was, naturally, Joanna.

She’d hit Level 65.

All three demon cores belonged to her.

She’d earned them. Without her unorthodox approach, the Golden Crow would have escaped. Even Francis couldn’t have held it.

The three divine corpses, however, went to the three divine spirits.

“In the Decennial Universe, when a divine spirit dies, its body becomes a continent. Joanna, would you mind transporting the Demon God corpses to our respective dimensions? Here are the coordinates. Don’t worry–once the bodies transform into Godfall Lands, I’ll share the harvested materials with you,” Francis

said.

“No trouble at all.”

Without the divine spirits drawing fire, Joanna couldn’t have stolen the demon cores so easily.

She delivered the Golden Crow corpse to Francis’s dimension and the Boar God corpse to Kevin’s.

As for the Star Shark corpse, Helen said flatly, “Just keep it in the Joanna Dimension. You handle it.”

“Sure.”

Helen had zero interest in empire–building. Besides the Joanna Dimension, which Joanna managed, Helen’s other dimensions ran on autopilot. She’d only appointed Beatrice as a single city lord.

Joanna didn’t refuse. If she pushed Helen to build her own dimension, it’d be like pushing a Mythic–Tier ally away.

She wasn’t about to make that kind of low–EQ move.

She was already running ten Godfall Lands. One more barely mattered.

Somewhere in the Decennial Universe.

The Nightmare Spider Demon God’s expression was grim. A chill ran down its back.

“The humans really have produced a once–in–an–era prodigy. And she’s nearly impossible to counter. Is our race truly locked out of the top thousand forever?”

It wrestled with the thought.

The Spider God’s main weapon was illusion. But Joanna also had illusion–type resistance. Extremely high.

There was no way to control her.

And that nightmare tactic of burrowing inside a god’s body? It was terrifying.

When the Star Shark Demon God died, the Spider God was confused. When the Golden Crow died, it had been watching and still hadn’t seen how Joanna got inside.

By the third death, the Spider God was simply afraid. Afraid that Joanna would slip inside it next.

It had left.

Technically, the Nightmare Spider race and humans had an alliance treaty within the Decennial framework. The Spider God hadn’t planned to fight.

But not fighting and feeling threatened were two different things.

How was anyone supposed to fight humans now?

~Who wasn’t terrified of having their demon core stolen?

The thought made the Spider God shudder.

It needed to warn its kin. For the next decade, do not provoke the humans.

Even if Joanna secured another top–1000 finish in the next Decennial Tournament, that only gave humans 20 more years of growth.

After that, without another Joanna, they’d stagnate.

Unless another Joanna pops out.

But what if Joanna becomes a divine spirit?

That thought was genuinely terrifying.

Countless races in the Decennial Universe had no divine spirits at all.

No divine spirit meant no protection. No chance to preserve the bloodline. You could be crushed at any

time. Enslaved.

A single divine spirit was enough to change a race’s destiny.

Humans were weak.

What did that have to do with Joanna?

She was strong.

The Spider God kept swinging between ‘kill her now‘ and ‘don’t poke the bear, utterly unable to decide

While the Spider God agonized-

Joanna Dimension.

The great hall of Joanna’s palace.

She was throwing a victory party.

A truly flawless battle.

She raised a glass of wine, surrounded by all seven of her contract beasts.

“Everyone. Today, we killed three divine spirits. Real, power–type divine spirits–not law–type ones. That distinction matters.

“I’m grateful to each of you. You changed my life. You gave me strength. To all of you–cheers.”

Joanna took a sip.

Every beast was watching her. They could feel her genuine happiness.

“It’s us who should thank you, Joanna. You pulled us out of madness,” Nighthowl said.

“We elevate each other,” Alwyn said with a smile.

Lucien grinned. “Queen, no need to be so formal. This is what we’re here for.”

Troy, quiet as ever, said, “I didn’t contribute much.”

Caspian said, a touch melancholy, “I’ll try harder. Help you hunt more divine spirits in the future. I just feel so useless right now.”

Xavier spoke. “The real significance isn’t the kills. It’s what they represent. Joanna, your status has reached the level Professor Carpenter once held.
