A Core Ship From The Start
/ A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 917
Chapter 917: Chapter 644: Fanaticism_2 Chapter 917: Chapter 644: Fanaticism_2 “The Empress bestowed upon me strength! Even that exoskeletal structure is a gift from the Empress!”
“That is not a gift, but a curse!”
Staring at the black exoskeletal structure standing behind Philray, disgust showed for the first time in Anguste's eyes.
“Haven't you understood yet, Philray? Think about it, how could there exist a gift from the Empress that doesn't affect her own divine power? That exoskeletal structure is not the Empress's gift but a sacrilegious object of the heretics! We demand you immediately hand it over to the Congress for permanent containment!”
“So this is your true purpose!”
Upon hearing this, Philray turned pale, stepping back in horror and staring fearfully at the Mothers in front of her. She had not expected the Congress to make such a move. Why would they do this?
Philray was thinking, desperately pondering how to respond, and at that moment, a spark of light passed through Duanmu Huai's eyes behind her.
The time had come.
Soon, Duanmu Huai's spirit quietly emerged again, infiltrating Philray's heart. He could sense that Philray was wondering why the Congress would do such a thing? Snatching the possessions of other families had never occurred before!
Hearing the doubts in Philray's heart, Duanmu Huai sneered, then concentrated his efforts.
“That's because . . .”
That's because, did they covet the Holy Artifact bestowed by the Empress, thinking she was easy to bully, and wanted to take this opportunity to claim it for themselves?
Soon, an answer appeared in Philray's mind, and it wasn't strange. She was just a mid-level priest, and throughout the city's history, there had never been a mid-level priest who could become a mother of one of the top eight families. They clearly underestimated her and attempted to seize what the Spider Queen had bestowed upon her with this method.
But why . . . ? Were they not afraid of displeasing the Empress?
“Of course they're not afraid, because . . .”
Of course they're not afraid, because . . . the god they worshipped was not the true Spider Queen!
At that moment, Philray felt as if thunder had struck on a clear day, seeing through the entire truth!
The eight ruling families of the city were actually not followers of the Spider Queen; they were merely using this title to command and suppress other families! And their urgency in obtaining the exoskeletal structure from her was to prevent such things from happening–indeed, they were the heretics! They defied the Empress's will, ruling the city under her name!
Yes, that was it!
At this moment, Philray felt she had completely seen through the truth.
She had doubts before, why out of so many more powerful priests, the Spider Queen chose to bestow such a powerful exoskeleton upon her? Now, the answer had emerged, because only she–Philray was the true follower of the Spider Queen! And the mothers and high priests of the other eight families were all heretics under the guise of the Empress's name!
Traitors!
Philray's eyes ignited with fervent flames, staring angrily at the family mothers, including Anguste, her fists clenched tight.
“You despicable heretics! You've finally shown your true colors!”
“What are you talking about, Philray?”
Hearing Philray's roar, Anguste and the other mothers were taken aback, watching as Philray, with righteous indignation, looked ridiculous before them.
What was going on?
Why had Philray turned the tables on them?
“I finally understand. You've been using the Empress's name, trying to rule this city forever, clouding us with your lies! But no more! By the Empress's will, I shall eradicate you heretical villains, returning this city to the Spider Queen's hands!”
Having said this, Philray violently thrust her hand forward.
“Kill them!”
Before Philray had finished speaking, Duanmu Huai already stepped forward in a dash, his Thunder Warhammer roaring out, sweeping directly towards the mothers in front.
It must be said, the twist of events was beyond everyone's expectations—-no mother from the First Family had anticipated that anyone would dare so insanely and boldly strike at the ruling Congress within the temple of the First Family, even denouncing them as heretical traitors . . .
Philray's thought process was so erratic that even Mother Angeste, seasoned as she was, couldn't initially grasp how her mind had come to such a conclusion.
However, at that moment, Duanmu Huai's War Hammer had already swung over.
The Divine Arts of the Mothers had no effect. The Thunder Warhammer whistled through the air, sweeping the altar's chairs aside in one mighty swoop. The Mothers, who had been sitting on the altar seats, were splattered with blood on the spot, dying instantly with their bodies mutilated.
“Bang!!”
Mother Angeste heavily crashed onto the ground. Being experienced, she knew the moment Duanmu Huai made his move that she couldn't stop the terrifying construct with her strength alone and hastily activated a teleport. However, Duanmu Huai's attack was more terrifying than she had imagined. By the time she barely escaped, her legs were still horribly mangled, the pain almost causing Mother Angeste to scream out loud.
“That's enough, you traitor,”
Looking at Angeste lying on the ground, Philray felt an unprecedented joy and pleasure. She could feel that this was the excitement and delight of the Spider Queen seeing order restored and chaos finally corrected!
“You do not understand the true essence of the Spider Queen. She will never give up on you, never let you down, never run around or desert you. She will never make you cry, never say goodbye, never tell a lie, or hurt you… and yet you have betrayed the will of the Spider Queen…”
“What… what are you talking about…”
Looking at Philray and the gigantic construct approaching her, Mother Angeste gritted her teeth.
Madness, Philray has completely lost her mind! What could have possibly bewitched her to turn into this?
“Stop!!”
However, just then, a voice suddenly rang out, followed by a stench resembling decay. A long, constantly shifting creature like a strip of flesh appeared out of nowhere–it was the handmaiden of the Spider Queen, also known as the spokesperson.
Wax Melted Monster.
“I order you to stop, Philray!”
The Wax Melted Monster glared at Philray, shouting angrily.
“Your actions have completely deviated from the requirements of The Empress, you have utterly strayed from her expectations!”
“Wax Melted Monster…”
Seeing the Wax Melted Monster in front of her, Philray stopped in her tracks, staring blankly at it. After a moment, she suddenly burst into loud laughter.
“Hahaha, hahaha, so that's it. I had not realized you heretics were so bold! Even the Wax Melted Monster has betrayed The Empress, becoming her enemy. No wonder The Empress has left all this to me! You–all of you–are traitors!!”
At this point, both the Wax Melted Monster and Angeste… were dumbfounded.
Wax Melted Monster: ……
Angeste: ……
Is there something wrong with this person's mind?
Looking at the seemingly insane Philray, even the Wax Melted Monster… didn't know what to do.
But Philray clearly wasn't going to give it the chance.
“Kill her! This traitor! I will cleanse all the traitors around The Empress, restoring her to her rightful place!”
“Roar———-!!!”
naturally, Duanmu Huai wouldn't refuse. He let out a fierce roar and charged forward, grabbing the Wax Melted Monster's noodle-like body and then pulling violently–accompanied by a shrill scream, the Wax Melted Monster's body was stretched like noodles and then forcibly torn in two!
“How can this be…”
Seeing the Wax Melted Monster so effortlessly destroyed, Mother Angeste's eyes widened in terror. At that moment, the construct approached her as well.
Could this be… the meaning of destruction the Spider Queen had spoken of? What exactly is this construct?
At the same time, Duanmu Huai moved toward Angeste and stomped down fiercely.
