POV Spider

The Chosen has shown how powerful it was and how weak we truly were. I can't serve the Mother and the Destroyer like this. I need stronger followers and for myself to also be stronger if not there will be no point for us to even be alive.

I called all the monsters who I lead and all the spiders that I was stronger than to come here and collect everything here that was edible and not something that will harm us. With this much food we will be able to grow stronger to be able to help.

It took around 10 hours for us to get everything back to the nest. Even with all the time that has passed I still believe that the Chosen is still alive as I can feel it to be true. I need to get to tier 2 as soon as possible to speak.

I got my hunting group together, and we hunted to raise our levels. I could raise my level by making the followers stronger and teaching them new things since I was a Novice Void Priestess, I was at the threshold of evolving into a tier 2, so I need to get there faster.

After a few hours of hunting we were able to get the group's level close to lv8/10, and I hit my level cap for being a tier 1 and was now ready to evolve, but first I would need to get the others out hunting then evolve, so there is no wasted time.

Leading them in hunts had raised the over all strength of everyone that was one of Mother's followers, but we still had a small amount currently in our group. I will have to teach others how to lead and worship the Mother's followers to continue to build up her forces. It won't be an easy task. First things first in I need to evolve.

I had one of my guards who I saved and has been following me around to watch over as I evolved. I could have everyone go to the pond, but that seems like a foolish mistake to make. If the other monsters who were smart were able to find out what I was building here they would gather all the others here to kill all of us off and return to fighting each other for no reason just because we were a threat to them and their evolution. Int + 3.

My Int raised for just thinking of the possibility of that happening. So that means I was right. If the others found out they would hunt every one of us down. If that happens we would never be helpful to the Mother and I would have wasted the gifts she had given us. There is no way I would ever allow that to transpire. I shall protect the gifts the Mother has given and lead her followers to more power for her name to spread. First we must grow in strength here in the Void then reach out to other realms and worlds to spread her love and gifts.

For we follow the almighty Mother and her Chosen. Nothing shall stand in the way of her love. All who stand in the way shall meet their death at the hand of her Chosen destroyer. All hail the Mother. All hail her Chosen.

3 hours later after worshiping the Mother and her Chosen one I finally calmed down enough to get ready for my evolution.

POV ???

As the darkling watched the small spider evolve it trained itself using the ways the spider showed it once before. But during the time the little spider spent evolving the darkling continued to train without stopping even as its St was empty. The Hp of the darkling was so very close to becoming halfway to empty.

Something powerful and strong watched the first Void layer where it had been born at and wondered why it was so different from when it was still a small weak speck of dust. And it looked throughout the first layer to find the disturbance that is causing so much change in this new age of monsters.

Until it found something it could not see through no matter how strong it was just looking at the small house? It was weird there were no homes in the lower layers of the Void. Something was wrong with this. It tried even harder to see through the house to gauge what was there but to no avail it could not see. It felt something inside the house with a familiar presence it had known of all its old life.

Mother has created a new species of monster. It couldn't see it before since it was in the middle of an evolution. No wonder why there were ripples in the way monsters had usually acted in the first layer. So the monster here has caused so much change. I wonder if it will become strong enough to entertain me for a while longer.

Unfurling my wings I took to the sky for the first time in hundreds of years. I will need to keep an eye on things, so Mother may enjoy herself. Being her firstborn has a lot of responsibilities after all. Plus knowing Mother she might have pissed off some other gods again. “I just woke up and already have to be put back to work again after taking a nap.” I sighed.

I heard a small hint of laughter. Many feared Mother's laugh, but I didn't since I knew that it would never harm anyone unless she wanted it too.

I will need to check up on how my children are doing, so I can have them watch over the situation in the lower layer while I handle the upper 3 layers.

“Thine of my blood watch out for any who wish to invade our Mother's holy land and kill them all. For they shall soon come. I know not when or who is coming but show them that in the Void all who invade die. Only those who are allowed by the Mother can enter here. Now go and watch for any that come.” I bellowed out for all of my blood to hear using their connection to me to inform them.

“Brother watch for any temporal distortions and when you find them let, then I will handle them. Should I fall you know what must be done.” I said.

I knew that he could still hear me even if he wasn't in the Void at this time. Being the oldest I was the strongest of all my siblings. To be able to fight after so long seems like a lot of fun. I could just feel a battle was approaching soon, and it would be an external force. Something with lots of numbers and very strong leaders.

Not a War god of things like that since they have champions who fight alone on the battlefield. It felt older maybe as old as the Void itself. Then that limits the possibilities down to 5. Light, Death, Time, Soul, or Darkness. The Darkness is out since she and Mother love each other. Soul doesn't give a damn as long as he can keep souls from being destroyed. Time only protects the timeline and doesn't move unless time is threatened. So it is between Light and Death both seem like assholes, so it is hard to tell which one will attack. I brought down the number to two. Sister should be able to read the timeline to see which one will attack us.

Before I even said anything words appeared before floating with her favorite space magic. Light was all it read.

The wound on my back flared up as it started to inch again after so long. It was them. I could meet him again in battle after so long. I roared in delight of being able to fight that hero again.

Before I was able to get even more excited more words appeared before me.

The one who you fought was betrayed and killed by his God and wife. I am sorry to say, but you will never be able to fight him again brother. I do not know how long until he is reborn, but I have read that you may fight him again in the future. It isn't certain, but the chances are 70 percent.

I read it and my anger grew. The only one who beat me in combat even while protecting thousands of people. The only one to take so much damage and fight without even losing strength. I stopped beating my wings and dropped like a rock.

I will kill those bastards how dare they take my prey away from me. I will kill that bitch and her God from taking my fight away from me. I prepared all the years getting stronger without becoming a god just to fight you again.

The surrounding space started to melt away before I was able to control myself. I could evolve at anytime but was just waiting for him to evolve first. How did I not notice his death. I marked him. He was mine I would have won this time and then evolved to fight him again as gods. Now how many decades, century, and millennium do I have to wait before you are ready?

Damn you why did you die? “Mother I will fight the invaders coming, and then I will go back to sleep for him to return and have enough power to fight me again. When he is ready can you awaken me?” I stared up to where her portal was located at.

Worry not my son. You will be able to play with him again soon. He will take a while for him to be ready again, but I do not believe it will take as long as you think he will take. I can not tell you everything, but believe me when I say he will be changed by the next time you see him. He will be stronger than he was before when he reaches your level and power. He may even beat you again. Hahaha you amuse me my son. When the time is right I will tell you where he is. He won't remember you, when they killed him he lost everything. His soul was almost gone when it was saved so be easy on him until he can fight you again. Maybe fighting you will bring back some memories. Good bye my son I most talk with another god now to prepare for coming events.

I smilied to know that it wouldn't take him that long for him to get back to me. But was still sad because he would not remember our fight that lasted 20 days. At least he would be stronger the next time we met so he would make our fight even better. The War god vs the God of Protection ah I could hear it now as our battles where all could hear the fight. Nothing will stop me from having that fight not even the Creator God could stop me. I can see it now.
