dense needle forest.

A tall human ranger is traversing through the dense forest. She has a very high level of forest walking skills and seems to be advancing at a speed that is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Soon, the human ranger reached his goal.

It was a woodland planted in many numbers, and the trees here were all planted according to a specific pattern, and in the center was a huge pale golden oak.

This is the [Holy Land in the Forest].

It is a place where the 'Goddess of Forests and Rangers'-Melikai is enshrined. This goddess does not have many temples. Her favorite altar is the sacred place in the forest. Often, there must be an oak tree near this altar. Melika is the daughter of the father of the oak tree, and she is also the most powerful deity in nature today. However, because the father of the oak tree and the mother of the earth have disappeared one after another, Melika does not have a great say in the natural pantheon. This goddess has been trying to regain control of the divine power of nature for a long time, but this attempt has not been very successful. She is best at the [Forest] priesthood.

"My lord!"

The human ranger knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "A large number of demonized spiders have appeared in the forest in the southwest recently."

"They are growing in numbers and multiplying very quickly."

"I suspect that this is inseparable from the drow elves in the Underdark. They seem to be planning to start a war with the surface elves again. The minions of these spider gods are plotting something. Maybe we should try to organize them."

The center of a sacred place in the woods.

A tall woman in green-brown fine leather armor turned around. She had an extremely beautiful face, but she had an indescribable heroic spirit, strong and beautiful. Melika is a humorous and kind deity, always with a confident smile on her face. She is cautious about making friends, but once identified as hers, she is eager and faithful to protect them. Although she understands that death is also a part of the life cycle, she is not as indifferent as Silvanus, but often intervenes to heal the pain of living beings out of compassion. This goddess has always guarded the forest, and she is a goddess revered by rangers.

"What do you think?" Melika turned to look at her side.

An elegant golden unicorn was strolling leisurely. After hearing Melika's words, he raised his head and said in a clear girly voice, "It should be the conspiracy of the spider god queen."

"But now our most important thing is to protect the forest from the undead."

"Presumably the elf god system can deal with the conspiracy of the spider god queen, we just need to ensure that those demonized spiders will not spread to other forests."

A touch of golden glow.

The unicorn in front of her exuded a noble and elegant atmosphere, and the ranger next to her quickly bowed and saluted when she saw her.

This is La Rue, the unicorn goddess, Melika's most loyal friend, companion and mount. La Rui loves to roam around, and her personality is somewhat capricious. However, once she considers the other person to be trustworthy, she will display a faithful friendship and will never abandon her beleaguered believer. Lari can be a tough foe when she has to face combat, but she loves light-hearted banter, clever puzzles, new discoveries, and life's joyous explorations. This unicorn goddess basically seldom manages the church, and her church is basically attached to the church of Melika.

Both goddesses have a large number of ranger followers, and priests also double as rangers and druids.

Among them, the priests and druids who believe in Melika can use the weapons of the rangers at will, which is a special ability given to them by the goddess, just like the priests of Sauron can use the machete.

Melika fell into deep thought.

After a while, she raised her head and said, "That's right. How are the dryads near the misty forest? Are they still reluctant to merge with us?"

The Ranger shook his head slightly.

She thought for a moment and said slowly: "These tree spirits serve the father of the oak tree, and they firmly believe that the father of the oak tree will return one day."

"but."

"They seem to maintain a very close relationship with the Lord of Shadows. The recovery of the entire Misty Forest also has an important relationship with this god."

Shadow rule?

The unicorn goddess showed an interesting look when she heard the words, and said softly: "What kind of god is he? To be able to advance to medium power in such a short period of time, there is no doubt that he is a real powerhouse. "

"I want to thank Him in person for killing the bastard Mara!"

God of hunting - Mara.

He was the forest that the unicorn goddess hated the most and didn't mind killing him, just as Marat longed to taste the blood of the unicorn goddess' throat.

She had been eager to meet Sauron and express her gratitude.

But she is also Melika's ally and mount. In the event of the Holy One's catastrophe, she must guard Melika's side. This goddess may not be powerful, but she cannot be despised, because the unicorn itself is a very powerful creature, just like the gods of many dragons are weak, and it is not easy to really do it.

"Sauron?"

There was also a hint of curiosity on Melika's face when she heard the words, and she murmured: "He seems to be different from other evil gods we have seen. He sheltered the south and restored order."

"Maybe there is a chance to meet you."

Although the gods rarely move, their news is not blocked.

Sauron's fame has spread throughout the multiverse, and even the oldest gods have learned of his rumours.

………………

Spider Forest.

This is a forest ruled by spiders. Inside this huge forest, there are a large number of poisonous spiders, phase spiders, shadow spiders, etc., and now there is a very terrifying spider.

That is the black spider [Demonized Spider].

This spider has a length and width of more than three meters, and has sharp teeth and fangs. They multiply rapidly under the action of a certain force, and they are now countless. The elves were forced to withdraw from here. Now the entire spider forest is covered with white spider webs. The forest that spreads hundreds of meters is a pale white color. The spider webs cover everything and hunt down all creatures that enter here, including those wandering undead. The speed of reproduction of demonized spiders is quite amazing. If you pass through those spider webs, you can see many demonized spiders living in the caves. There are occasionally hundreds of signs of activity, but just a glance makes people feel scalp numb.

Druids are watching over here.

The Rangers waited solemnly.

The elves nearby are also feeling uneasy, worried that these spiders will rush out at any time to shred everything. No one knows how many demonized spiders there are. Since the catastrophe of the saints, the spiders here have been expanding rapidly, and now there are probably a few. There are more than 100,000 animals, and they don't know where their food comes from. Anyway, the number has not stopped growing again.

Nearby gnomes and dwarves have been forced to migrate, and even the ogres have been forced to flee.

These spiders continued to cover the forest with their webs, and they continued to expand toward the southwest, with larger and larger webs, and eventually approaching the kingdom of elves.

This is a giant web woven by the spider goddess Rose.

Looking at the entire multiverse, only she can control so many spiders. The drow of the Underdark seem to be lurking, but the huge spider colony is constantly expanding, and twisted spider elves are becoming more and more common.

Not only the drow elves were corrupted, but even the surface elves were turned into spider elves by some kind of secret method.

This is the power of [Trickery].

From the very beginning, the spider goddess - Rose has been constantly gathering the power of trickery, and now her huge web has been officially formed, and this huge web is wrapped around the elf kingdom from all directions. But at the same time, due to the proliferation of spiders, the ecosystem of the original material plane was severely damaged, and she also aroused the vigilance and hostility of the forest goddess Melika.

………………

Modo City.

Sauron organized everything in the study. After stealing Styx's soul, his strength increased every minute.

The demon army is expanding.

The Heroic Spirit Legion is growing.

Sauron is constantly accumulating power, and this power must ensure that he can gain a firm foothold in the powerful gods, which cannot be achieved by golems alone.

"elder brother!"

"elder brother!"

At this moment, a very excited voice came, and two identical Vivians, one black and one white, happily entered the room, and said crisply: "We finally succeeded!"

Vivian and Lillian.

After such a long period of running-in, they finally adapted to the transformation of the gods under the guidance of Sauron, and successfully completed the transformation of prayer and magic.

"Congratulations." Soran smiled and hugged them.

Vivienne smiled and enjoyed Sauron's embrace. She was wearing a white princess dress. After she raised her head and kissed Sauron's side face, she suddenly seemed to think of something and said, "That's right! Brother!"

"There's something wrong with Lulumiao recently."

"Can you go see her?"

Sauron raised his head in doubt and said, "Lulu meow? What happened to her?"

Lillian replied, "She seems to be feeling a little uncomfortable recently. She used to be alive and kicking every day. But recently, she has been lethargic, and she doesn't seem to be able to speak!"

Sauron frowned and said, "Okay. Let's go and have a look."

Lulumiao lives next door to Vivian. With the increase in the strength of Modo City, the battles that require her to join in person have been reduced a lot.

Speaking of which, Sauron hadn't seen her for a while.

inside the room.

Sauron quickly saw Lu Lumiao, who was sluggish. When he saw Lu Lumiao who was stunned in front of him, a gleam of light appeared in Sauron's eyes, and he said solemnly, "When did this happen to her? of?"

"About a week ago." Vivian whispered.

Sauron frowned and walked over, put his hand on Lulumiao's forehead, and murmured, "Can you hear me? Did you come into contact with any gods some time ago?"

"Meow~!"

Lulumiao opened her eyes with difficulty, as if she hadn't slept to death for a long time, and muttered to herself, "Is there? I don't remember!"

After that, she fell asleep again.

Vivian's expression suddenly became tense. Her relationship with Lulumiao has always been very close, and she said anxiously: "Brother! What's wrong with Lulumiao?"

Sauron's face was solemn.

He turned around and glanced at the little girl, and said in a cold tone, "Someone (God) wants to use her to regenerate her body!"

"She was planted with divine seeds."
