I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

Zhongli suddenly spoke up and asked, "To be honest, I haven't asked you yet. What is your goal on this planet?"

Upon hearing Zhongli's question, the spider swallowed a golden-brown mushroom that emitted a wonderful aroma, then crossed its two forelegs to its chest and pondered seriously for a moment.

"My current goal is to move beyond my whims and eliminate any life-threatening dangers. A further goal is to evolve myself into a spider woman with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a spider. If I were to make a goal in life, it would naturally be to become the manager of this skill system."

"If there is a permanent purpose beyond the purpose of life, it would be to travel back to the Earth of the past. I miss the old days so much, it's almost like I miss life itself. Playing video games, instant noodles with junk food, and the peaceful atmosphere that modern civilization has finally managed to relax in. I miss all of that so much."

"Yes." Zhongli nodded slightly: "I have accepted your wish."

"If you really want to go back to your original Earth, I think I can help you."

"???" Spider was full of question marks. She was speechless for a moment, and then her excited words became incoherent.

"Really...really? I've heard that you can travel to other worlds on your own, but don't you need coordinates?"

“No.” Zhongli shook his head slightly: “You don’t have to go through that much trouble. Your reincarnation did not leave the world you originally lived in. In fact, just like Natsuki Subaru, their reincarnation is only within the same world, not a reincarnation that crosses worlds.”

"Therefore, all you need is the aura of your own soul."

The spider immediately trembled with excitement.

She didn't know what to do.

I want to say something, but I don't know how.

Then, in that very emotional state...

The skill [National Martial Arts. On a Whim] from the chat group surged wildly once again, causing her mind to tremble and her body to shake slightly.

The ground began to shake continuously.

She remembers that feeling, and she remembers that trembling sensation.

That was a feeling she experienced right after she was born.

"Mom!!!!! You actually managed to get out of the maze!!!"

She couldn't help but yell.

Chapter Sixteen: Spider Child: Defeat Mother

The earth trembled.

Spider could clearly feel a tremendous force gathering behind its body.

You can't stop them, you have to get out of their way.

Her brain made that judgment in an instant.

Then, her brain, in a state of hyper-speed thinking, began to command her body to move laterally to avoid attacks from afar.

But before she could move, the handsome young man beside her grabbed one of her hands.

"Don't worry." Zhongli stared calmly in the direction of the threat. "This is a good opportunity for me to test the attack power within your skill system. Although I haven't analyzed it in detail, I do know that your mother, the Queen Spider Monster, is one of only four ancient monsters in the world. Their mother was the pet of a goddess known as the Ancient Divine Beast."

"This is a rare opportunity to test the power of this skill system."

Spider was stunned. She wanted to say something, but she no longer had the chance, because at the same time Zhongli finished speaking, a terrifying black torrent came from afar and instantly swallowed her and Zhongli.

Spider's mind went blank, his thoughts a jumbled mess.

Sorry, teacher, I can't go back to Earth.

Sorry, Mom, I want to eat instant noodles one more time.

---No, it seems like I've always lived alone...

---That shouldn't be the case, I remember mine wasn't...

His thoughts were in disarray for a few seconds until the black breath completely disappeared.

Spider looked around in a daze. The once lush forest had been turned into a scorched earth. All the trees, birds and beasts had been reduced to ashes by his breath.

----I'm not dead??

She raised her two scythe-like forepaws and looked at her body with some confusion.

A pale golden, transparent ring floated on the surface of his body, like a thick layer of armor, looking solid and powerful.

"A little trick."

Zhongli spoke calmly and slowly.

Spider's gaze shifted, and he saw that a pale golden ring had also appeared in front of Zhongli's body.

"Oh, oh~~!!" Spider exclaimed excitedly twice, then raised his arm and said, "Senior Zhongli is so amazing."

Zhongli didn't react to her compliment at all, but calmly reminded her, "They've arrived."

Before his words had even finished, he was still speaking.

A giant spider then descended from the sky.

This spider was ridiculously large, nearly ten meters tall.

With its enormous eight compound eyes and towering claws, it resembles a gigantic monster that evokes fear in humans rather than a spider that inspires terror through its venom.

Without a second thought, the spider put its appraisal into the Queen Spider Monster.

Then she saw a power level that far exceeded her expectations.

Whether it's attack power, defense power, magical ability, resistance ability, or speed ability, they all exceed 20,000.

Although the Queen Spider Monster was weakened and her stats dropped significantly due to her parallel consciousness's soul attack, she was still far beyond the Spider Child's limits.

It has an average ability value of 18000, which is more than five times stronger than the strongest enemy that Spider-Child has ever fought, the Earth Dragon Yabara.

----How could we possibly win this fight!

This is much better than I imagined.

Spider couldn't help but roar and complain wildly in his heart.

There is absolutely no chance of winning.

Therefore, we can only rely on Senior Zhongli.

Thinking of this, Spider's gaze shifted to Zhongli, who was confronting the Queen Spider Monster.

The pale gold ring accentuated the other person's otherworldly aura, making them seem like a deity and inspiring awe.

"Roar~~!"

The Queen Spider Monster roared loudly, its cry sounding more like the roar of a dinosaur or monster from a monster movie than a spider's.

It was making a threatening gesture towards the tiny human in front of it.

“No need to waste your energy.” Zhongli’s expression was calm. The pressure exhaled by the Queen Spider Monster was smoothed out by the pale golden light a few meters in front of him.

"Your connection with your superior, the [Ancient Divine Beast], was concealed the moment it stepped in front of me. Whatever happens on your side, the other party has no way of knowing."

"So, stop trying to stall for time and attack me with all your might."

I don't know if he understood what Zhongli said.

The Queen Spider Monster in Spider-Child's sight, as Zhong Li finished speaking, frantically stomped the ground and crashed towards Zhong Li.

Its enormous size, coupled with a speed exceeding 20000, enough to break the sound barrier, created terrifying waves that plowed through the already scorched land several times over, sending countless dust, mud, and charred rocks flying in all directions.

This was more terrifying than any monster in any monster movie Spider-Man had ever seen before; its mere movement could unleash a terror akin to a natural disaster.

However, Zhongli remained calm in the face of such an attack, merely raising his right hand slightly and pressing it gently in the direction of the attack.

Then, the Queen Spider Monster's body seemed to have crashed into a wall made of diamonds, and suddenly came to a stop.

Due to the immense force, several of her claws broke off, and countless drops of scarlet blood splattered everywhere. Even her enormous body and seemingly indestructible carapace developed several cracks under the immense pressure in an instant.

"Roar~~~!"

The Queen Spider-Wolf roared again, but this time the roar lacked threat and domineering power; instead, it carried a hint of desolation.

The spider stared wide-eyed at this scene that had happened and ended so suddenly.

Fortunately, her skill [High-Speed ​​Thinking] allows her to think at a speed far exceeding the surface of her body, so she only froze for less than a second before recovering.

Just as she was about to say something flattering to Zhongli, she suddenly felt a tremendous force appear, and the Queen Spider Monster, who had already fallen to the ground and was on the verge of death, suddenly opened her mouth wide.

Several times larger than the previous breath was spewed out again, this time with dark magic.

This time, the terrifying breath was less than a hundred meters away from Zhongli and Spider Child. The dark magic, compressed to its limit, came flying through the air with the power to erode and annihilate everything.

In less than a moment, he rushed to Zhongli and Spider-Man's side.

Spider-like creatures were no longer able to dodge.

At this moment, all she could do was close her eyes and hope that Zhongli would react.

"Open your eyes, don't worry."

Zhongli's calm voice was so reassuring in this sea of ​​black light.

Chapter Seventeen: Spider: A Conversation with Administrator D

The spider's eight compound eyes opened simultaneously.

And as expected, just as she had predicted, on the once again chaotic ground, only the spot where she and Zhongli were located was completely unharmed.

Her mother, the Queen Spider Monster, seemed to disagree with the outcome as well. She roared at the sky, but to no avail.

Zhongli's handsome, otherworldly face remained calm and expressionless.

A moment later, he said to the spider, "Go and kill her."

"Huh???" Spider was taken aback.

“I want to observe what this so-called evolution is all about.” Zhongli revealed his purpose: “Your experience points have accumulated to a certain level, right? Killing this ‘mother’ in front of you might allow you to evolve.”

Oh~~! Oh~!!

Spider naturally wouldn't disagree with such a request.

With a whoosh, she darted onto the Queen Spider Monster's head, raised one of her scythe-like forepaws high, and then slashed down at the Queen Spider Monster's head.

Her most powerful corrosive attack instantly lit up, easily tearing apart the Queen Spider Monster's carapace, which was strong enough to withstand most physical and magical attacks on the planet.
