Just as all these believers finished their prayers and were about to stand up and go their separate ways, a pale white energy ball, about the size of a ping-pong ball, quietly rolled into the middle of the inner chamber. Then, with a bright flash of white light, the energy ball slowly vanished, and the inner room became as quiet as it was before, as if nothing had occurred. However, some of the more powerful believers could sense that an unknown energy had suddenly and rapidly surrounded the entire area.
At the same time, there was a soft bang, and a person in a grey robe flew over the heads of the believers with incredible speed and landed in front of the innermost iron gate. The tall figure firmly blocked the gate, which was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Faced with this sudden and surprising situation, regular folks would be scared, especially when the mysterious ball that suddenly exploded in front of them felt like it carried the power of an Official-level spell.
After all, it was a well-known fact amongst all professional that an enemy with such power couldn't be resisted with quantity.
Considering these facts, Punk estimated that the believers with the fastest reflexes would start to flee in different directions, so to prevent them from running out of the "silent domain," he had already begun to prepare his next spell after ordering No. 1 to block the iron gate.
Soon, Punk finished a basic elemental spell called "Rock Fence." This spell created a circle of rock walls from the ground, enclosing the entire area.
Punk needed to keep these believers alive for interrogation However, since he didn't have a powerful official-level restraining spell, he had to rely on this Trainee level spell. Anyway, even such a trainee level spell, when cast with his official level mana, was not something these half-spider people would be able to break through easily. So it was more than enough to stop this group of unprepared believers for some time.
Punk had completed all these steps in less than a second, so no matter how fast these guys' reaction was, they never had the opportunity to escape or alert someone.
Even when confronted with a sudden and formidable enemy, the actions of these believers were strange. Let alone preparing to escape; there was not even a trace of panic on their faces. On the contrary, in the beginning, the expression of these believers was dull and numb, but after Punk showed up, it almost instantly turned into a kind of crazy joy that could not be concealed. This kind of pure excitement was just like a poor person suddenly seeing a pile of gold.
"Haha, the enemy predicted by the Lord has come. It's time to give all we have to the great goddess Ti Xiaer..."
"Nothing can be hidden from our great goddess Ti Xiaer!"
"Finally, the time has come, the time has come, yes, it's here..."
"Redemption, I can finally get my Salvation, I am willing to give my life, my soul, my everything..."
These believers didn't display any caution or fear when Punk launched his attacks. Instead, they began loudly praising the so-called "Great Goddess Ti Xiaer," and some even started shedding bitter tears.
Simultaneously, the souls of these believers started wildly fluctuating, and a significant amount of blood began gushing from their mouths and noses. Their roughly stitched spider bodies began twisting uncontrollably, causing the seams between their upper and lower bodies to break one by one.
Very soon, all these believers' bodies were covered with their own blood, but they not only turned a blind eye to their injuries, but some of them even knelt down on the ground and kept thanking the goddess Ti Xiaer for giving them salvation.
Punk was shocked to witness over 50 believers contort their bodies into a tangled mess in just two or three seconds, with their organs splattered on the ground.
The development of this situation was far beyond his expectation. The changes of the enemy seemed to be just a group of crazy believers killing themselves. However, he felt a faint sense of danger in his heart from the ground, which was now filled with broken bones and blood.
Punk guessed that these believers were sacrificing themselves in order to execute some kind of killer move or weird skill. So he quickly prepared another trainee level spell intending to interrupt this bloody and weird ritual,
However, in the end, he had to cancel the spell as it became pointless; the ceremony of that group of fanatical believers had already come to an end.
The upper bodies of these believers had turned into scattered pieces of meat, while the lower halves of their spider bodies had transformed into green pus, blending with the scattered meat. Their souls emitted an intensely bright red light, swirling around the strange spider statue, creating a rapidly rotating soul whirlwind.
Then, the semi-liquid body parts on the ground flew towards the center of the soul whirlwind in large clusters until all flesh and blood entered, forming a massive floating ball. The surrounding souls grew excited and began entering the flesh and blood ball.
When the final soul entered it, the big ball of flesh and blood, which had now become dark red, slowly grew sharp limbs and a small spider head, and eight of the most powerful souls formed the spider's eight eyes. After the spider's body was completely formed, a layer of dark green pus flowed over it and became its outer shell covering its whole body. Many faces with the expression of excitement could be seen wandering around inside the spider's body through the translucent pus shell.
The duration of this whole process was only about five seconds, almost like the transformation of the transformers. Although the process was complex, the speed of its completion was extremely rapid, so before Punk could figure out the situation and then plan an appropriate action, the dark green spider was already formed. But the most significant reason behind his inability to take action was that these believers were too unified in their actions, and their reaction was also too quick. They didn't even hesitate for a moment before deciding to commit mass suicide.
Punk didn't choose to attack the beast in front of him immediately. He stepped back and opened up some distance from it. Then he carefully observed the characteristics of the beast and began to think of a plan to solve this unexpected problem.
With the help of the system and the thinking capacity of an official level mage, Punk immediately analyzed the three biggest doubts about the appearance of this beast.
Initially, the believers' decision to resort to the same desperate measures seemed remarkably coordinated. However, this unity could be explained by the fact that all of them shared the same lower spider body. It suggested that this lower spider body might have originated from the green spider initially, allowing them to uniformly follow certain orders.
Then there was the determination of sacrificing themselves without hesitation. But it could also be explained as it was possible that crazy fanatics would sacrifice their lives for the so-called gods without hesitation. These fanatics' selflessness in front of their faith could sometimes reach a frightening point.
In the end, what puzzled Punk the most was their reaction speed. It was just too fast. It almost seemed like they have been waiting for this moment.
And the sense of expectation hidden in their eyes, where did it come from?
Did these crazy believers know that he would come?
And they had already prepared to go all out?
