The Lord of Ashes

Any creature that embarks on the path of belief and becoming a god attaches great importance to its believers.

Because for them, believers represent their own foundation.

There are hundreds of thousands of gray-brained apes inhabiting Fekmos Canyon.

In the eyes of the powerful Spider Queen, this number of believers is nothing.

But for the lowly Hercules, this is likely to be close to one-tenth of its total number of believers in Faerûn.

In the years since Thane arrived in Faerûn, not only has he been understanding the structure and components of this world, but the Spider Queen in the wizarding world has also been analyzing this special world.

The plane rules and attributes of the continent of Faerûn are very special. Since this large-scale world civilization does not seem to have expanded and explored the outside world, all the gods have to hold back‏‏‎‎‎‏‏‎‎​‏‏‎‎. This makes them attach great importance to their believers and the development of their beliefs.

Why has there been almost no large-scale wars or collisions between the underlying biological legions that swept the entire continent for thousands of years in Faerûn?

The Spider Queen analyzed from the perspective of a god, it should be the gods of Faerun who are consciously protecting these low-level creatures.

These low-level creatures also represent resources and the source of faith that all gods regard as the foundation.

The Spider Queen directed Thain to set up a special magic circle outside Fekmos Canyon. Some of them were used to target Hercules, and some were used to target the ordinary gray-brained apes in Fekmos Canyon.

The death of hundreds of thousands of creatures would not cause the Spider Queen any emotional fluctuations at all.

With these hundreds of thousands of gray-brained apes as a threat, the Spider Queen did not believe that Hercules would not take the bait.

In addition, the Spider Queen also arranged another seduction plan - Thane.

Letting Thain take action first was also to confuse the Hercules and lure him into taking action.

For this reason, the Spider Queen also lent Thane a treasure - the blood magic weapon.

If you don’t believe it, the other party won’t take the bait.

…

Since this battle needed to be fought quickly, after arranging everything, Thain activated the Balrog transformation and quickly entered the battle situation.

Starting the Balrog transformation was also the result of discussions between Thane and the Spider Queen.

Although among the demons in this world, there may not necessarily be a race of "Fire Demons", but the extremely obvious demonic aura cannot be faked. Leading the dirty water to the demon completely muddied the situation, making it easier for Thane and the Spider Queen to plan their actions in this world.

As for whether the demon clan will suffer any misfortune because of this, it is not within the scope of these two visitors to the wizarding world to consider for the time being.

When Thane's demonic wings covered the sky in Fekmos Canyon.

When the billowing rain of burning flaming meteorites fell from the sky, the gray-brained ape family in Fekmos Canyon faced the crisis of extinction.

Thain's powerful level three strength made him feel like he was in an uninhabited land when he broke into the habitat of this group of gray-brained apes.

The strongest member of the gray-brained ape clan in Fekmos Canyon only has Level 2 legendary strength, and is even considered weak among the legendary strong ones.

As a "castrated god", Hercules' own strength is considered weak among level four.

‏​​‎​‏‎‏‏‎‎​‏‏‎‎ Even Hercules is like this, and the race he comes from and the people under his command are naturally not much stronger.

In fact, it is incredible for the gray-brained ape race to give birth to a fourth-level god.

In other planes of the star world, the racial base is less than ten million, and it is difficult to give birth to gods of their own race.

Hercules was able to ignite the divine fire. The Spider Queen attributed it to the special laws and properties of this world, and also because the other party may have encountered some adventure when he became a god.

This is also the secret of the world that the Spider Queen most wants to know.

What on earth is going on with this “castrated version” of a god?

If we say that Thane started the Balrog transformation, it was like a spoonful of hot oil poured into Fekmos Canyon.

Then after he appeared, a layer of light red light curtain rose from the periphery of Fekmos Canyon, which was equivalent to covering Fekmos Canyon with a pot lid.

These gray-brained apes have nowhere to escape!

In his current state, Thain did not perform any actions to collect specimens.

Killing and destroying with all his strength is his main job.

And while Thain was attacking with all his strength, a blood-red metal prop in the shape of a funnel appeared directly above Fekmos Canyon.

After the death of every gray-brained ape he kills, the essence and blood from his body will be slowly absorbed and attached to this bloody prop in the sky.

Even the gray-brained ape that is not dead will be in a weak and tired state under the influence of this bloody item.

This is the blood magic weapon of Spider Queen Rose. It can be regarded as a first-class "artifact". Compared with the silver spider ring in Thain's hand, it is of equal quality.

When Thain was studying in the Sky City, he once knew that there was an extremely partial "blood magic" in the wizarding world.

As luck would have it, the Spider Queen happens to be a top master in blood magic.

She even relied on her superb attainments in the field of blood magic to seduce and corrupt a new branch of elves - the blood elves, also known as the Moorish elves.

Moorish elves consume the elemental power in their blood, and they are more extreme than normal elves.

As the place of faith for these fallen elves, Rose obviously also uses the power of blood to an extremely high degree.

The function of the blood magic weapon is to suck the blood of all living creatures in Fekmos Canyon and eventually transform it into blood-coagulating essence, referred to as "blood essence".

‏​​‎​‏‎‏‏‎‎​‏‏‎‎Blood essence is a relatively high-end special resource.

In the early years of the Spider Queen, the most exaggerated time was when she sacrificed an entire low-level plane and tens of millions of creatures.

The blood essence condensed with the lives of so many creatures is obviously not ordinary.

In fact, the Spider Queen directly contributed to the birth of a fourth-level blood elf under her through the sacrifice of that world.

That was an Elven King named Kael'thas, the right-hand man of Spider Queen Rose.

Don't think that the Spider Queen is planning the continent of Faerûn naked, but in fact, the Spider Queen herself is quite powerful.

Things like blood essence and blood magic weapons, just by listening to their names and uses, you can tell that they are absolutely evil things.

Although the wizarding civilization often launches dimensional wars, it rarely kills an entire world of life.

It’s not that sympathy runs rampant.

The main reason is that the strong wizards and civilization believe that the indigenous people can create greater value if they are alive than if they are dead.

But Spider Queen Rose didn't know exactly what she was thinking. Maybe she wasn't the kind of person who could tolerate the slow development of extradimensional gains.

Blood Essence, a product that directly extracts the value of flesh and blood from an alien plane, may be a bit higher than energy crystals in terms of grade.

As the price for Thain's seduction, the Spider Queen promised that the blood essence of the dead gray-brained apes in Fekmos Canyon would eventually belong to Thain.

"That's so generous of you," Thain said.
