The Queen must be deeper inside. Those are just the workers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis then scanned the walls. Aether Silk gleamed in thick sheets, pulsing with faint blue-white veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They amount was enough to imprint the Ether Net ten times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need the silk from the upper layers,\" he said to her. \"The are very pure. But the Queen guards the heart chamber.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minos cracked her knuckles. \"Do you have any plans?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. You will distract the swarm, amd pull them outside into the ravine. Then I will slip in, harvest the silk, and meet you at a safer place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head playfully, \"You sure you don’t want the fun part?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. I only want the silk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grinned, showing all teeth. \"Fine.

Outside, Minos’s shouts echoed through the ravine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on! Is that all you’ve got? My grandmother moves faster than you all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis laughed at her antiques, before reaching the first large sheet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He summoned his Chaos Sword and channeled some Ether into it. As a result, it became incredibly sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One precise cut, and the silk peeled away precisely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rolled it carefully, tucking the bundle into his cloth bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second sheet. Third. Fourth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sweating, despite his boundless stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mystical silk drank ambient Ether like a sponge. And every cut sent a faint vibration through his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was on the eighth sheet when the cave went unnaturally quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No chittering noise. No wind howling through the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a deep ancient voice echoed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bearer of Taboo Physique, wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis froze, knife halfway through the silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice came from everywhere and nowhere. It didn’t seem hostile, but also wasn’t friendly either. It was simply... ancient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned slowly to look at a single massive eye opened in the deepest shadow of the ceiling, easily ten feet across, pupil slit like a cat’s, iris swirling with every color of void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis’ heart rate accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be the Queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t realise she was there all this time. She had simply been there the entire time, just watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was terrifyingly powerful. Not even System showed her infor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis lowered the knife but did not dismiss the Chaotic Harem Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can speak now?\" he said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. I was observing you since you crossed the waterfall. Your aura, it reeks of Chaos. Taboo. Forbidden. Yet you did not attack my children wantonly. I am curious why you did that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis tilted his head. \"I am just here for the silk. Not corpses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, most humans take both.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not one of those humans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eye narrowed, \"How odd! The mark of the Chaos follows you like shadows. It is ancient. It is Dangerous. Even I feel an unease.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis smiled faintly. \"I am flattered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not mock me, child. I have guarded this nest for 3 centuries. I know power when I see it. And I know greed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shifted her position a little and the entire cave trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, the Webs shook as well..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know why came here. You seek the silk to forge an Ether Net following a lost technique. One that would make Ether dance to your will like obedient flame. Am I correct?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis’s smile disappeared. \"How do you know that technique? Its from Age of Gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Its because I met some people like you. They came here long ago. Unlike you, they were arrogant and greedy. Some died screaming when the Net rejected their vessels. Some barely succeded. \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis pondered seriously.\"So there are some people who knows the lost mechanisms? Who could they be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis stepped onto a higher thread, bringing himself level with the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Queen, then you should know why I need the purest silk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen’s pupil contracted. \"Yes. And I know you will die if you fail. But I also know you will succeed where they failed, because your Physique was born of Chaos itself. My Sillk will not reject you. It will embrace you. And that terrifies me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence ensued for a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis spoke then, \"Are you going to stop me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am considering it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buzz!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised the Chaotic Harem Sword. Its chaotic Violet-black light buzzed along the edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was trying to avoid that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen laughed in rumble like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bold. I like bold. Very well. Take your silk. But know this, Chaos King: every strand you cut binds you tighter to Chaos. One day it will demand payment. And when that day comes, even I will not envy you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis seemed unbothered as he replied, \"I’ll pay whatever it asks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eye closed slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then go. Before I change my mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1068,"2026-05-30T07:20:35.904Z","2026-06-01T04:30:37.594Z",1,"novelbin.me","aff38c2f203b6580013f41bd6ba4922627896033e59857c3ef424b4bc521ece5","sss-rank-harem-sword-my-lustful-life-with-legend-chapter-49","sss-rank-harem-sword-my-lustful-life-with-legend-chapter-47",200,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsss-rank-harem-sword-my-lustful-life-with-legend-cover.jpg"]
