I heard he fought Spine and three other Legends simultaneously and still won. It’s unbelievable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... hahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway through speaking, Casimo suddenly chuckled, words full of undisguised schadenfreude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Serves that bitch Spine right for failing, incapable of succeeding, only capable of failing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if she competed with me, so what if she won? Now she died without leaving even ashes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casimo sighed lightly, her right hand sliding from her full chest wrapped in gauze downwards, directly disappearing beneath her body, showing a look of intoxication and obsession on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such powerful strength! Such a strong body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that World Tree Favored Shadow could be my husband, then... ah~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn you, Spine, truly wasted a good opportunity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But unfortunately, even if I could control this World Tree Favored, he would only become My Lord’s plaything, wouldn’t he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking her head, Casimo turned and walked deeper into the Holy Temple, saying at the same time:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eliza, you go back first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep a close watch inside the camp during this time; I don’t want to make the same mistake as Spine, letting those church rats sneak in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza nodded and then walked towards the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Holy Temple, her body flickered and merged into the shadows within the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurking in the shadows, Eliza withdrew her thoughts into her mind, her spiritual power touching a special rune shrouded in mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, a voice came from the rune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eliza, what is the situation now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Shadow, Casimo has already learned from those Undead that you are in Ruiz Underground City and is preparing to inform Spider Queen Rose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, that’s good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice appearing in Eliza’s mind carried a hint of laughter, as if this had been expected all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this voice came from Shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Eliza, who appeared here, was the Dark Elf Legendary Assassin Shadow had controlled when exploring the Underground City and Forbidden Fortress Donovan while in the Pan-Continent Mage Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And during the subsequent raid and destruction of Forbidden Fortress Donovan, Shadow specifically let Eliza go, just to make full use of her later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Shadow didn’t think Spider Queen Rose would just let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a legendary internal agent, Shadow could also learn a lot of secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Shadow didn’t expect that after leaving Forbidden Fortress Donovan, Eliza would come to Kaleel Dungeon through the Abyss Channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because each Abyss Channel connects to Spider Queen Rose’s domain [Deep Pit Demon Net], as long as the Abyss Channel, referred to by the dark elves as Holy Path, can bear their strength, they can travel among various Underground Cities this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s much more convenient than using the [Phillips Crystal] to travel between small worlds, comparable to the numerous group Transmission Arrays laid out by the Church of the Gods at great expense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Eliza came to Kaleel Dungeon, naturally Shadow had to make good use of this advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Shadow had a relatively good understanding of the deployment of Dark Elves in Kaleel Dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Kaleel Dungeon, there are three strongholds like the one Eliza is in, basically controlled by the Dark Elves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one of these strongholds, according to Eliza’s understanding, there are quite a few Abyss Demons coming to the underground city through the Abyss Channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these Abyss Demons seem to obey some order and stay obediently in that camp, without entering the underground city to fight with the Church of the Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Eliza’s understanding, these three camps inside Kaleel Dungeon have special arrangements made by Spider Queen Rose and other Abyss Lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to raid there is basically impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also why Shadow did not directly make it a target for attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, about the Demigod Rank Abyssal Demon in Kaleel Dungeon, Eliza also didn’t know intelligence related to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Shadow would find it much easier to resolve this demon beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Eliza, just keep an eye on the situation, don’t do anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there is any intelligence related to Spider Queen Rose, or the Demigod Beast, contact me again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord Shadow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ending the contact in her mind, Eliza did not linger and continued patrolling the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, in Ruiz Underground City,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow sat in front of the [Heart of Origin Soil], his right hand supporting his head as he opened the player forum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the topics such as [Betraying Light for Darkness!] and [What Should I Do in the Abyssal Side?] starting to surge in popularity, he nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, just like he anticipated, the Spider Queen Rose side, like the Church of the Gods, also noticed the players’ uniqueness and is attempting to win them over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow had been mentally prepared for this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he established quite a deep impression in the players’ minds through a series of maneuvers, it didn’t mean he could control all of their actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must understand that players absolutely cannot be coerced into anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with rich rewards and special scenarios to lure players, there will always be those who like peculiar and bizarre challenges and don’t follow the norm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the previous life, after the 4.0 main storyline version began, players could choose their own camp to join.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even joining the Abyss Evil God side was an option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the subsequent Abyss Blood Battle, there were indeed quite a few players who enjoyed causing trouble sided with Abyss Demons, launching an invasion on Gaia Main World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, those who chose to join the Abyss side were, after all, a minority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many players joined out of curiosity and soon defected back to the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, compared to Gaia Main World, the environment in the Endless Abyss was so harsh that players found it challenging to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, for players, the maps in the abyss were so peculiar that the vast majority could not accept them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Shadow wasn’t worried about players joining the Abyss side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, this was also a good opportunity for Shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could let the players inadvertently disclose his information to the dark elves’ side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Information revealed unintentionally is more likely to be believed by the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Shadow did not pin all his hopes on the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the players did not follow Shadow’s script, he would have to use Eliza to \"deliver\" the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in that scenario, it’s hard to ensure Eliza wouldn’t arouse suspicion, and the effect wouldn’t be as good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, that the dark elves’ side \"actively\" acquired his location’s intelligence laid the foundation for future plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, now the dark elves’ side only knew this intelligence and hadn’t found the \"right opportunity\" to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow was still quite confident about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they were given enough \"confidence\" to feel assured of killing him, they wouldn’t be able to hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for this opportunity, it would have to be Shadow and people like Morris providing the other side with a \"creation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Shadow took out a communication tool and said into it:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Morris, notify the Earth Church, prepare to take action!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1297,"2026-06-03T10:59:03.386Z","2026-06-03T10:59:11.932Z",1,"novelbin.me","cbef90b8a3f298b7285dbf6295146af6c806183a9f099f450625adbac4308356","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1574","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1625",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
