Alien world

Chapter 1927, Page 560: Take Away
Rose's long silence elicited a soft chuckle from the intruding spider-like dark elf.

He tilted his head slightly, his three pairs of scarlet eyes focusing on Rose simultaneously, and his deep purple lips parted slightly: "Don't even think about running away. You are me. Don't you know that we only reveal ourselves when our prey falls into our web?"

"No one can save you."

Rose called out to the silly cat in her mind, but as expected, there was no response.

Seemingly having had no one to confide in for too long, another Rose poured out her malice on Him: "To actually cooperate with humans, you have utterly disgraced Rose."

Rose sneered, "If it weren't for your vile curse, would I have sought cooperation with outsiders?"

"You? You seem to have excluded yourself, little spider~" He called Rose by her nickname, clearly knowing more than expected. "If you had arrived at the temple earlier, wouldn't you have done the same thing as us?"

“At least I won’t mock my prey like you do.” Rose was trying to find a way to break the deadlock and buy time. “Or are you afraid of something?”

"Am I afraid?"

“We are Rose, the Spider Queen who makes the gods tremble. You fear this is yet another trap.”

Another Rose stood silently in the darkness, her three pairs of eyes narrowing in succession, a sickening scraping sound emanating from beneath her visor. After a moment, she whispered, "I almost believed your trick, had I not been watching you closely."

"After I eat you, I will no longer have to fear the other roses."

Rose said, "Then you've broken the balance, which will only cause the other three of me to join forces against you."

The other Rose sneered, "What a ridiculous statement. We're all Roses. Do you really believe yourself?"

"It seems that part of your memory doesn't contain much information about 'me'."

Rose will certainly cooperate with her other self, but she will continuously lay out webs during the cooperation. The moment the cooperation ends is also the moment the web is pulled together.

Rose felt the animalistic side in her other self... She got the emotional part?
The advantage is that He isn't that smart.

The downside is that He won't be affected by a few words.

Another Rose, or rather, the Spider Queen, took long strides and approached Rose.

"Don't even think about resisting, that will only make you suffer for nothing, you weakest of all..."

With each step it took, it stirred up a faint, cold current carrying an aura of obscurity, and its massive spider body cast an even deeper shadow.

Rose was all too familiar with that aura—the power of the Spider Queen that had once terrified the gods in her hands.

He could have released it as well, but the heavy curses and weakening effects made him only slightly stronger than the silly cat, and he had to use a portion of his divine power to suppress the curses.

Rose seemed to give up struggling, letting the spider queen tear open the black keratin and precisely pull out herself hidden inside the spider's head.

Just as He said, He was watching Rose like a spider lying on its web watching its prey lingering at the edge.

"You are very sensible."

The Spider Queen whispered, a slight smile curving her purple lips.

"After all, I am you. Being eaten by you will only mean merging together." Rose, who was being lifted up, said calmly, her several pairs of black gem-like eyes fixed on the kneeling dark elf.

The Spider Queen followed His gaze, turned around, and came back to her.

"Get up."

"Madam, I..."

Trembling under the Spider Queen's aura, the dark elves could only obediently stand up.

"Now is the time to use people, I will not do anything to you." The Spider Queen bent down, and the sharp claws extending from her fingertips gently caressed the dark elf's soft neck.

"However, you know a little too much..."

His claws slid down to the dark elf's forehead, slowly piercing into his skull.

The dark elf dared not resist, trembling with fear and pain as the spider queen's claws probed into its brain and stirred inside.

"All right."

The Spider Queen withdrew her claw, which was covered in some white brain matter, and gently licked it with the tip of her tongue. She then turned to Rose beside her and said, "See, little spider, I didn't indiscriminately kill your minions."

Rose looked at her familiar, whose pupils were dilating and who was gradually becoming numb and dazed, and said coldly, "What's the difference between this and killing her?"

"Of course she is! She's still alive. I'll take her back and have her work for me."

"You're sending a foolish dark elf back so she can be toyed with and killed by other dark elves?"

"Are you concerned about a family member?"

A chilling aura slowly spread. The Spider Queen's three pairs of eyes turned a deep crimson. It seemed that this "unprovoked kindness" was more unacceptable to her than resistance.

"Rose, you are not only weak, but you are also full of the lament of the weak."

“That’s right, I reek of blasphemy. What are you waiting for?” Rose provocatively said, “Kill me.”

At the end of the spider queen's abdominal sac, the spinnerets are slightly open, and black silk threads with a sticky sheen float up, wrapping the rosy silk layer by layer, and then hanging from the elf's long ears like pendants.

Rose was now surprised: "You're not going to eat me?"

"You are too filthy. I must purify you before I can eat you."

The so-called "dirt" refers to both Rose's unexpected human nature and her own initial contribution—if she didn't purify the four curses and rashly devoured them, her power might decrease instead of increase.

Rose's heart sank to the bottom.

He hated the little spider for holding him back, but if the other self couldn't wait to devour him, relying on the two consciousnesses of himself and the little spider, it could at least be on par with or even have the upper hand over his consciousness.

But He didn't fall for it...

The Spider Queen caught a glimpse of Rose's fleeting annoyance and sneered, "You think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Rose remained silent, watching as her other self extended sharp, knife-like claws that sliced ​​through the void, tearing open a warp portal, grabbing the dazed dark elf, and slipping inside.

When they emerged, the surrounding area had transformed into a hellish, volcanic landscape of scorching lava.

Hordes of gargoyles flapped their wings in the air, and demons patrolled everywhere along the lava rivers. When they encountered the Spider Queen, they addressed her as the Legion Commander.

"You actually cooperated with the devil?!"

Rose finally understood why she had been exposed... probably from the very beginning, she had been exposed to another version of herself.

After all, being able to set up a warp anchor point, the demon might not be able to guess its true identity. But its other self would definitely be able to guess the truth.

“I never imagined I’d end up working for Targarus,” Rose said with a hint of sarcasm. “Looks like you’re a flawed product too.”

“You’re wrong, Rose.” The Spider Queen strode along her eight spider legs, traversing a lava river as she ascended to the upper reaches of the volcano, and entered a spider nest entirely made of black spider silk. “After absorbing you, they will all become my subordinates.”

"You are not qualified."
