Chapter 1283: 433. The Contamination of Avalon and Speculation on the Face of Divine Spirits_3

She might not even be aware of it herself."

"Triss..."

Murphy, in agony, covered his eyes and elongated his voice with a pleading tone, eliciting a chuckle from the Witch Madam, who then coughed twice and said,

"Enough about that. Bring over the big block of ice; I need to rebind it and conduct a series of research on it."

Murphy immediately stepped forward, lifting the Glacial Ice with his Spiritual Energy and suspending it into the middle of the binding ritual setup by Triss.

As Triss activated the ritual, streaks of purple-red light quickly converged and interwove, isolating the inside and outside of the ritual, not only physically but also with a subtle control over space and time,

causing the flow of time within the cage to slow to a point where Triss could manipulate it freely.

And as everyone knows, any power related to time can be considered great. This seemingly modest binding ritual actually represented a unique power Triss had acquired when she achieved the Golden Tier as a Spiritual Overlord—she called it "Super Law-Time."

Triss had never truly shown the full extent of her ultimate power.

Because from the time Murphy pulled her into this "game" to the present, she had been too weak to fight in the first half, and even after acquiring the Golden Heart from Salockdale, she had not yet faced such a dire situation where she needed to use her trump card to survive.

The Crimson Witch was always referred to as a "genius" by Lord Paryen, and one should not underestimate the significance of these words coming from someone like him.

"I will need some time to defrost it. Turner’s heavy blow with the North Wind brought a faint divinity from the God of the North Wind, and resolving this is quite troublesome."

Triss fine-tuned the parameters of the binding ritual, telling Murphy,

"The specific research results might take some time. You can leave now, I’ll let you know when there is news."

"I’d like to stay a bit longer."

Murphy shrugged his shoulders.

He examined the twisted humanoid form sealed within the ice, noting it was similar to the Spider-Transformed Elves from his memory, but lacked that unique feel, more like a flawed product of an "evolutionary failure."

"Can’t you just search for information directly in its mind?"

He asked,

"Phemys is able to use that search technique; can’t you do it?"

"Stop joking, that thing is less an information search, more like a form of torture. Its search efficiency is so low it would make any ’Blood Inquisitor’ laugh out loud."

Triss shook her head and said,

"Moreover, this fellow has undergone the ’Spider Transformation Ritual’; as its form was twisted and corrupted, its will and mind were also shattered into an irreparable maze of fragments. To reassemble that information requires a lot of patience and skill, and you should be grateful that I’ve done this sort of thing before.

I do have some experience.

Perhaps from this guy’s memories, we can find the face and some information we’re looking for."

"Alright, have you seen this thing before?"

Murphy asked again.

His talented girlfriend snorted and, with hands on her hips, said,

"Who do you think I am? It’s just a Spider-Transformed Man. I saw plenty of them more than two hundred years ago when I was traveling in the Dark Territory. Actually, this thing is a method the Shadow Elves used to torment prisoners, based on the ’Blessing of Destiny Weaving’ ritual of the Shadow Elf Family.

Those Shadow Elf females favored by Lady Spider, Lady Avalon, would undergo this ritual at some point.

They would offer up everything to Lady Spider in exchange for Avalon’s Blessing, and once the ritual was complete, those Shadow Elf females would become such half-human, half-spider beings."

"But to be honest, the legitimate ’Weaver of Destiny’ is much more beautiful than the imposter here.

That is the iconic power wielded by the higher-ups of every Shadow Elf Family, according to what I had seen and heard back then, there is a priest faction in each of the thirteen Shadow Elf Families completely composed of Weavers of Destiny.

It is the most intimidating force under the Family Matriarch.

It is also a representation of the power of the shadowy Avalon within the Shadow Elf race.

According to legend, those gifted Weavers of Destiny could see through the threads of fate with their own eyes, making remarkably accurate predictions.

Although there has never been a real case to prove this, considering that the Shadow Elves have not only avoided decline after being expelled from the Castilla Peninsula by the other three Elf races but grown more prosperous over the years, it seems that there might be some truth to these prophecies about fate.

They gradually occupied most of the Dark Territory beneath the Eternal Abyss, and there they established a complex and corrupted kingdom.

Honestly, if we are just talking about power and war potential, the current Shadow Elves have already become a force to be reckoned with, capable of standing toe to toe with the Castia Elf Kingdom.

Fortunately, there is the vast expanse of the continent and the barrier of the Ligurian Peninsula between the two groups; otherwise, civil war between the Elves would have broken out long ago."

Triss shook her head and said,

"After all, don’t underestimate those crazy women who use spiders as their emblem. A delicate little puppy like you, if you fell into the hands of the Shadow Elves, I fear those incurable harlots would really eat you whole.

I mean that in the physical sense..."

"Stop joking, I’ve got you here, don’t I?"

Murphy snorted, but then he furrowed his brows and said,

"Triss, you’re the best theologian on the continent, can you solve a doubt for me? Why is there such a big difference between the Lady Spider and the other three aspects of Avalon?

The Moon Girl, the Storm Queen, and the Mother of Forest all belong to a clearly ordered alignment, but this Lady Spider seems extreme even by vampire standards.

It just doesn’t make sense."

"Hmm, good question."

Triss looked around, and lowering her voice, she said,

"When I went to the Dark Territory, it was with the intent of finding an answer to that question. Obviously, I did not get a specific response, but my travels among the thirteen families gave me an idea.

Without any evidence.

But I suspect the birth of the Lady Spider is no coincidence...

Perhaps Avalon is ’tainted’, and the Lady Spider is the embodiment of that tainted aspect in terms of divinity..."

"Bang"

The knock on the door came at just the right time, causing Triss to immediately quiet down and Murphy’s heart to skip a beat; in this world where Divine Spirits truly exist, discussing their secrets is asking for trouble.

You have to be vigilant against their eavesdropping.

"Come in!"

Murphy turned and called out, and Triss’s Chief Guard, the "Mad Woman" Bonnie, poked her head in, sneakily surveying the room.

Seeing that she did not find the scene she was hoping for, the expectation in Bonnie’s eyes quickly turned to disappointment, and then, in her throaty voice, she said,

"Duchess Shani has arrived, she is waiting for the two of you."
