The raccoon's brain twitched and he said unconvincedly.
"No, I used my first-level power all the way up to the strongest, and defeated them at every level. Finally, I killed their strongest one, sealed the Star God Courtyard, and subdued them."
Ivia's answer made the raccoon open his mouth wide, then he turned his head to look at the Black Duke and spat:
"Shame on you. Even your boasting isn't as good as others' actual achievements."
Black Duke wanted to refute, but he was helpless. He imagined that his strongest state would be that he and the Star Clan would both suffer heavy losses, and defeating the Star Clan and bringing them under his command was beyond his imagination.
"Then, if you're not in a hurry, go to Tianting Star and wait. Let Labilis take you there."
Aivia explained.
Black Lord looked at Avia with gratitude and left behind Labris.
However, before they left the church, more than a dozen fireworks were heard in the blue sky of the entire cemetery village. After each firework exploded, a huge spider web spread out. Finally, all the spider webs connected together to form a huge spider web and disappeared into the air.
The crackling sound immediately rang out in the Manor of the Church of the God of Casting, and the place was in chaos with chickens flying and dogs shouting.
The fat, fat-headed fly Adolf hurried back to Ivia in disheveled clothes.
As soon as he saw Hei Jue carrying something and looking like he was going out, he quickly stopped him and said:
"Don't go out now, the Spyder family has started hunting!"
Adolf glanced at Ivia and began to explain.
Unlike outsiders like the Church of the God of Casting, the Spade family is a local force in Gudenberg, and its power is second only to that of the Gudenberg Hunters Guild.
The Tomb Village is the base camp of the Spade family.
"Is this directed at us? Are you angry because the hunt failed?"
Although it was invisible to the naked eye, in Ivia's perception, thin spider webs had fallen from the sky and covered everything.
"Not really. This is a hunting trial, the most traditional promotion ceremony of the Spade family."
Adolf didn't know how to explain.
This was not directed at Avia and her group, but Adolf estimated that the failure of the Spade family was one of the reasons for the start of the trial. They thought they were not strong enough.
This trial is not only for Avia, but for all the creatures in the cemetery village.
During the trial, everyone became the prey of the Spade family. Adolf, the previous bishop of the Church of the God of Forging, died in this trial.
When Adolf took office, the bustling and beautiful cemetery village was like a real cemetery, with no living people left, all of them had been devoured by the Speidel family.
Adolf encountered this kind of trial again later. He hid deep underground, but his guards also disappeared one by one. In the end, only the twin doormen and himself survived.
He had no idea what was happening on the ground during this time.
Adolf could only speculate, based on the order of death of the guards at the time, that the survival rate would be higher if they hid underground, which is why the Tomb Village got its name.
"Avia, Avia! Look at this!"
While Adolf was explaining the situation, Clara took a strand of silk thread and showed it to Ivia.
This thin spider web seemed to be alive and moved in Clara's hands. It was a derivative of the spider web outside the house.
The next moment, a strange figure suddenly appeared in the house along the spider web and bit Clara's neck like a wild beast.
Another thread emerged from Clara's hand, binding the attacker into a cocoon.
"Let go, don't touch that thing, it's dirty!"
Ivia spoke to Clara.
Adolf recognized at a glance the manic figure who was tied up tightly with only his head left.
"This! This is the patriarch of the Spade family! Him! What's going on?"
Adolf asked in great fear.
Aivia glanced at the figure who was still struggling, her eyes solemn.
"Nothing serious, this is part of the trial."
Although it was in human form, the figure before him, squeaking and humming, was more like a spider.
"Do members of the Spade family disappear periodically when there are no external enemies?"
Ivia asked again.
Adolf's eyes were filled with horror, and he gave the answer without answering.
Ivia sighed, freed the figure, opened the French window and threw him back outside.
When the patriarch encountered the spider web used by the Spade family, he was also caught in it, stuck in the web, and began to struggle violently.
Not long after, several crawling figures with strange movements came along the spider web. Under Adolf's trembling gaze, several figures shared the food of their patriarch.
Compared to humans, the people of the Spade family are closer to spiders. This hunting trial is a way for them to eliminate and purify their strength.
All family members who fail to obtain enough food will become prey on the spider web.
Only through the bloody and cruel trials and selections can they stand tall in the abyss.
This is biological instinct and has nothing to do with good or evil.
The other side of the Spade family that Adolf dealt with others was their disguise.
"What should we do? What should we do? If they even eat our own people, there will be no way for others to survive!"
Adolf was completely panicked.
Ivya was also considering this. In Ivya's opinion, there was nothing wrong with the Spade family's approach. It was part of the food chain. It was just that their recipe was too dark and their energy utilization efficiency was too low.
"Clara! Tie them up one by one."
Ivia was not sure whether this was the arrangement of the gods, but she wanted to find out.
Clara nodded and transformed from a little girl into the ancient god form of a giant spider, in which she was more comfortable.
Then Ivia took a strand of the Spaid family silk and pulled it rhythmically.
Soon, one hunter after another was deceived by their own spider web and foolishly ran in front of Ivia.
There were more and more large cocoons in the room, piling up outside the house.
The spider cocoons were piled up from day to night, and every corner of the God of Casting Manor was filled with mountains of spider cocoons.
"Tsk~ So, it's a big deal right off the bat! If the Speidel family disappears, will Gutenberg lose its order?"
Ivia sighed and asked Adolf.
Adolf, his eyes red, hesitated and thought for a moment before answering:
"In the short term, yes, but the power vacuum will be filled soon."
"Regarding the ecological chain, for example, after they disappear, will a group of black dragons attack Gutenberg?"
Aiweiya changed her words.
Adolf then realized what the Spade family was and quickly shook his head.
Ivia nodded and started to move.
Since they are not essential units, it is fine even if they are all cleared out.
But they have finally evolved into this half-human, half-insect state, and Ivia doesn't intend to exterminate them just like that.
A large furnace appeared in the God of Casting's Manor, and all the members of the Spade family were thrown into the soul furnace by Avia for reshaping.
The first thing that needs to be modified is their reproductive capacity. Only when their reproductive capacity is insufficient and there are not enough offspring will they cherish their own kind.
Then in terms of competitiveness, the ability to combine with spider webs and penetrate space along the spider webs is strong enough, and the attack capability to easily bite through the black dragon skin is also sufficient.
Ivia sorted out the chaotic energy channels that evolved naturally in their bodies, allowing them to absorb the overflowing energy more directly instead of having to devour their prey.
Finally, there is the sanity valve.
After some inspection, Ivia discovered that the Spade family's original human-insect transformation switch was a passive skill. It would automatically turn on when they felt danger or lacked combat power. Then all members would transform into monsters and start hunting.
This skill is very dangerous. If other powerful people came here today, the Spade family, who had passively started the trial, would lose their most precious wisdom and would not even be able to escape. All of their members would perish here.
Ivia modified this judgment so that their rationality always prevailed, and the ability to transform into insects and enhance their physical instincts became an active and switchable ability.
This way at least they can observe the situation and stop transforming into insects.
After the adjustments were completed, Avia began to reshape the Spade family.
Black spiders crawled out of the Soul Furnace in groups, causing Saber, who was watching all this, to tightly grip the sword in her hand.
However, Ivia did not change their memories, and these Spade families still retained the judgment of the strength gap between them when they were captured instantly by Clara.
Instead of continuing to weave webs, they slowly degenerated into human form and waited by the soul furnace.
Aivia took a look and found that the transformation was very successful. Faced with a situation where they were sure to die, they did not lose their minds and start hunting, and retained their judgment.
The swarm of spiders all turned back into the original members of the Spade family.
Not only that, they also found that their strength had increased a lot. Just by breathing, they could absorb the energy in the air to maintain the body's needs.
"Everything is done. From now on, if you can avoid eating intelligent species, then don't eat them. Now go."
After another day of transformation, all the members of the Spade family were squeezed out by Ivia. Ivia just gave this order.
"Who are you and what is your purpose to be able to do such a thing?"
A representative was elected from the transformed Spade family and came to Avia to ask questions.
"Gwyn Ivya is my name. I don't have any particular purpose. I just can't stand seeing you, despite your wisdom, cannibalizing your own kind. That's all."
Ivia waved her hand. Transformation is more mentally demanding than creation, especially for the original race. One needs to be very careful when moving every part of their body to avoid causing a chain reaction.
Especially in a place like the Black Abyss, the Spiede race has deeply implemented the characteristic of evolving at will, as no one is watching.
No one knows how their bodies work, but as long as they can move, they just don't care. Therefore, they have retained many structures with unknown purposes or even no use.
When Ivia is making modifications, she has to carefully identify the purpose of each structure. Even if the organ structure is useless, Ivia will preserve it and avoid moving it if possible.
This meant a lot of work, and Ivia was really tired. After she finished her instructions, she turned around and went back to her room to rest, completely ignoring the confused and grateful people of the Spade clan.
"If you are confused, you can join our Church of the God of Casting..."
Before Adolf could finish his words, the people of the Spade family quickly dispersed.
