The energy was instantly absorbed by the Spider Queen’s egg, with not a trace of leakage or dissipation.
At this moment, the Spider Queen’s egg also began to change, its color gradually shifting from dark green to golden yellow.
This change started spreading downwards from the top of the egg.
When Zhang Chen resurrected Mo Ran before, he had used Gromos’s energy. At that time, his control over meteorite energy was not very proficient, and he also lacked the support of Law Meteorites and Time Meteorites.
However, this time, the Spider Queen’s egg was directly bathed in the energy of three meteorites. He believed that the Spider Queen that hatched would be even more powerful.
The divine prefix was now confirmed beyond doubt.
*Crack… crack…*
As the entire Spider Queen’s egg turned golden, cracks began to appear at the top, rapidly spreading downwards.
*Tap!*
Suddenly, a small hole broke open in the top of the Spider Queen’s egg.
A green spider leg extended from the opening, followed by a second, then a third…
Immediately after, as the cracks grew larger, the Spider Queen, about the size of a forearm, fully emerged from the egg.
Its body was dark green with golden stripes, distinctly spider-like.
“Supply the Mother Goddess!”
“May the Mother Goddess bless us!”
“We are your most loyal servants!”
Witnessing this, everyone knelt down again, praying aloud.
However, the sudden shouts startled the Spider Queen. It flinched, emitting a series of hisses.
*Whoosh!*
Before anyone could react, a giant spider descended from the sky, opening its maw to pounce on the Spider Queen.
“This is bad!”
Zhang Chen’s face turned ashen.
He wanted to go to its rescue, but his current body, having just consumed a vast amount of energy, felt as heavy as lead, rendering him unable to move even a single step.
Even if he could move, the strength of this priest was nowhere near enough to block the giant spider’s attack.
At best, it would only allow the spider to take an extra bite.
No wonder there were so many spiders in this vicinity, and they didn’t attack the followers of the Mother Goddess cult.
It wasn’t that they didn’t eat people, but rather that they were waiting for the moment the Spider Queen resurrected.
As long as they devoured the Spider Queen, the Spider Mother could directly advance to become the new Spider Queen.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they would never lose such a chance due to momentary greed.
“What’s going on? Shouldn’t the giant spider be a servant of the Spider Queen?”
The High Priest was also dumbfounded, standing there foolishly holding his now powerless scepter.
He watched as the giant spider swallowed the Spider Queen and its egg in one gulp.
“Mother Goddess! Mother Goddess!”
The High Priest, full of despair, knelt on the ground.
*Chirrrr…*
The giant spider lay on the ground, emitting a series of terrifying noises.
Suddenly, its belly trembled.
Then, its colossal body began to collapse rapidly, its energy and flesh being quickly absorbed.
The giant spider wanted to vomit, but it couldn’t. It wanted to run, but its eight legs felt rooted, completely immobile.
It could only watch as its belly swelled to an absurd height before bursting open.
A spider the size of a pot lid emerged from its abdomen.
The Spider Queen, having absorbed the Spider Mother’s energy, had grown larger.
“Mother Goddess!”
“As expected of the Mother Goddess, praise the Mother Goddess!”
Seeing this, everyone’s sorrow turned to joy, and they shouted loudly once more.
*Chirrrr…*
The Spider Queen’s compound eyes fixed on the High Priest for a moment, then it suddenly lunged forward, severing his head.
*Crack, crack…*
The horrifying sound of bones snapping echoed by the Spider Queen’s mouth.
Everyone was stunned by this sight.
The Mother Goddess had actually eaten the High Priest?!
Didn’t Mo Ran recognize the first person she saw as her master back then?
Could it be that because the first being she encountered was an enemy spider, she became difficult to tame and bloodthirsty?!
Zhang Chen watched as Mo Ran absorbed the High Priest’s energy, and her body transformed again.
This time, she directly took on a human form, with emerald green hair, fair skin, and large eyes that gleamed with golden light.
Although she appeared as a sixteen-year-old girl, her figure was exquisite. Barefoot, she greedily scanned her surroundings.
*Swish, swish, swish!*
Several silk strands shot out, slicing another dozen followers of the Mother Goddess cult in half. Their energy was completely absorbed through the silk.
“Hm?”
The Spider Queen’s gaze shifted, and it quickly spotted Zhang Chen.
Their eyes met, and both were greatly shocked.
“This is… Spider Queen Sheila?”
Zhang Chen was so astonished his mouth hung open.
At this moment, Sheila suddenly blinked to Zhang Chen’s front, tilted her head, and looked at him, asking curiously:
“Husband?”
