In the divine realms of the Six Nations, only the spiderweb possesses the regular teleportation effect!
Scenes like the Spider Tower legion’s surprise attack on the Greatwood Fortress have played out countless times over the past centuries! Even Danzel herself has meticulously planned dozens of such surprise assaults!
The significance of the conceptual Incarnation lies in its dual functions: not only does it enhance troop types, but it also serves as an extension of the divine miracles!
In the wars among the Six Nations, without the protection of divine miracles, the heroic soul legion would be as defenseless as being naked. Danzel’s painstaking efforts to eradicate the Incarnation of the Stars were definitely worth it, because in this Appointation War, the Star Shrine could only form large legions around the remaining three concepts, meaning they could conduct battles on a maximum of three fronts simultaneously, but no more!
Each additional conceptual Incarnation provides a strategic advantage, introducing another deployable unit and allowing divine miracles to influence another battlefield!
So, after losing the Secret Incarnation, Danzel knew that under normal circumstances, their chances of victory were non-existent—Spider Tower now only had two concepts left, allowing for only two large legions to operate externally, which couldn’t form a strategic depth and could only barely protect themselves!
When the white bull circles back again, if Ashe and his team still refuse to surrender, Danzel must dispatch an elite legion to raid the Blood Tomb or the Star Shrine, igniting the war through the spiderweb. Otherwise, once everyone completes their Strategic Miracles, Spider Tower would be left in the dust, watching other forces take the spotlight.
Although Ashe and his companions were unaware of the true nature of the divine miracles, seeing the purple glow emanating from the soul-summoning spirit and observing the trail of purple stains left by the sports car, they immediately realized that they had been used by the Empress during a trial period.
“Why didn’t she use this tactic to capture us earlier?” Deya asked, having switched back at some point, likely due to the intense pursuit by the Empress. She seemed to exhibit Stockholm Syndrome, trying to find some shred of humanity in the Empress: “Could it be that she actually spared us?”
“Perhaps the cost of using this tactic is significant, making it unworthy for just hunting us down,” Ashe speculated. “More likely, it’s because only when we stepped into the main city did it activate the concealed painting function of the Secret Incarnation... It’s the first time I’ve seen a spirit relieve itself everywhere.”
“Purple, green, the mutual repulsion between concepts...” Sonya mused, “The conceptual Incarnations might be more important than we imagined, perhaps even determining the outcome of wars in the Virtual Realm. No wonder the Empress insisted on shattering the Incarnation of the Stars, and was so relentless in hunting us down... Observer, why did you get your hands on the conceptual Incarnation and still don’t know how to use it?!”
“Good question. I’d also like to know why I can’t get married just because I got a girl’s number and became her friend,” Ashe replied. “I have a theory, though not necessarily correct—isn’t there supposed to be some genuine mutual understanding in between?”
Buzz!
Before the sword Princess or the Witch could say anything, the Sports car sprayed Toxic Mist and sped off again. It was at this point that Danzel finally sensed something was off—she hadn’t planned on actually capturing Ashe and his companions because the Sports car was ridiculously fast, and the Spider Tower legion could only materialize behind Ashe, making interception impossible.
When she saw them stop, she didn’t bother dividing her forces to capture them. However, when Ashe sped off again, she felt something was wrong—why did those two women keep looking back at that man? Was he performing some kind of bizarre act?
Seeing the familiar scene of Reverse Golden Rain flowing from below into the sky, Ashe and his friends were moved to tears and couldn’t help but hug each other and cheer!
This was where spellcasters truly belonged—none of that Oasis-Spider Tower entanglement. Stick to your webs and leave us spellcasters alone!
Inside the Oasis, Danzel watched as Ashe and his crew successfully escaped back into the Rain Curtain. She ordered her legion to continue their assault. It was frustrating; an Oasis squad had appeared just as Ashe and his crew were escaping, mistaking the Spider Tower forces for their attackers and erecting a temporary defense line. Although the Spider Tower soldiers swiftly annihilated the squad, the battered Sports car managed to wobble away to safety.
These spellcasters had incredible luck.
Or perhaps, the Spider Tower’s luck had started running out.
Seven holes still needed mending, rendering the spiderweb incomplete. Not only could they not activate the ultimate weapon “Fate Weave,” but other effects were also significantly weakened. If the spiderweb were whole, the effects of ‘Entangle,’ ‘Corrode,’ and ‘Omniscient Veil’ would increase by 2.33 times.
More crucially, since the Fate Threads wove the spiderweb, an incomplete web meant destiny itself had flaws. The more the Spider Tower used it, the stronger the backlash from fate would be, manifesting as a gradual decline in luck across their entire force. Even commanders gathering resources might get ambushed by passing spellcasters.
Boom!
Suddenly, a spiral structure within the Oasis Fortress erupted in flames, illuminating the entire battlefield. Every plant in the main city area began to grow wildly, almost sentiently ensnaring Spider Tower soldiers. Oasis soldiers gained a massive boost, nearly pushing the Spider Tower front lines back!
Danzel, far from being frightened, actually smiled, her eyes full of anticipation.
Finally, the Oasis had unleashed their Strategic Miracle: Silent Spiral!
Now, neither side could complete their ultimate weapons!
Regardless, this move had dragged the Oasis down with the Spider Tower. Now, they only needed to capture this fortress, forcing the Oasis to prematurely engage in the war alongside them!
“We’ve already deployed the spiderweb. Although the ultimate weapon can’t be completed, the other effects can still be enhanced,” Danzel said, surveying the battlefield, though it wasn’t clear who she was speaking to. “Now we must use the information gap and our local advantages to expand our gains... You need to accelerate the updates, complete the remaining seven holes as quickly as possible. Don’t worry about quality—if they break later, it won’t matter. The key battles will occur in the next few rounds. As long as it holds during that time, we’ll be fine!”
After a brief pause, Danzel seemed to hear a satisfactory reply, and her face flushed with joy. “Rest assured, just like the past millennia, I will continue to secure victory for you—my light of life, my fire of desire, my original sin, my... Yisuo.”
