Chapter 690 Cap 688: Finding Elf Queen Lolth Again
When I met that night with the Elf Queen Lolth, she was accompanied by a younger version of her, plus there was a man with fire for hair and someone whose gender I couldn't tell.
I had just arrived at the World Tree Temple which is far from the village, on the way I saw that all the damage from the Wave of Monsters had been repaired.
In addition, the Temple that had been half-destroyed due to the fights of my Familiars was now completely new and with a natural charm with beautiful plants all around.
Elf Queen Lolth was waiting for me at the doors of the World Tree Temple with a smile on her face.
As I get closer, I realize that I'm unable to feel the two people's presences, the only reason I know they're there is because I'm seeing them.
As a visitor, I maintain my politeness by making a point of introducing myself first.
"Nice to see you, Elf Queen Lolth." (I)
"Nice to meet you both too, my name is Zenos, I'm a traveler." (I)
"Nice to meet you both." (I)
The two were laughing in my direction even from afar, the big man with hair made of flames looked friendly with an approving smile as if he was sizing me up.
The other who can't figure out the gender has been looking at me with undisguised curiosity.
"Good to see you again, knew you'd be back." (Queen Lolth)
"Let me introduce these two to you, this flaming brawn is Vari, a Fairy King of the Fire Element." (Queen Lolth)
"This genderless seducer on the other side is Irian, a Spirit King of the Water Element." (Queen Lolth)
"I like you, those eyes full of determination are hard to find." (Vari)
"Don't listen to Lolth, not having a defined gender is very normal in our race." (Irian)
"For those of lower level, we usually end up choosing more defined genders for our looks as we get stronger." (Vari)
"But it's really hard to choose, so why bother? In the end, it doesn't really matter." (Irian)
During the performance of the Fairy and Spirit Kings by the Elf Queen Lolth, the two began to argue as if they were old friends.
"Nice to meet you." (I)

After entering the World Tree Temple we all started talking, Queen Lolth told me about other things since Joseph had already told me about rebuilding the village.
Elf Queen Lolth told me that she was able to contract with a Fairy, Spirit, and Holy Beast since our last visit, she said she was not able to do that before because everyone kept away from the World Tree because of the imbalance in the nature near the World Tree.
The imbalance in natural energies and elements was already dangerous for people who have a weak connection to nature, for beings who live with strong ties to nature, this kind of environment is aggressive beyond anything most of them can bear with except for high-level ones.
Because of this all the Spirits and Fairies as well as the Holy Beasts left, that was a long time ago, before the Elf Queen Lolth assumed her current position as Queen.
Therefore, only Elves traveling to other places could make a contract as a Fairy, Spirit, or Holy Beast.
This made it very difficult for Elves because this continent is full of miasma, which drives away Spirits and Fairies, only Holy Beasts were easier to find elsewhere on the continent without counting the village of Elves.
The Elf Queen said that the state of the environment was so bad that even the Temples of Spirits and Faeries had been destroyed by the time the World Tree was injured, but afterwards not even a Cradle of Spirits or Faeries was able to be created due to environmental conditions.
I looked around and noticed more Fairies and Spirits, it has an amount almost comparable to what we have inside the Dungeon.
It seems that this Fairy King, Spirit King, and the Holy Beast came here all on their own to help.
Elf Queen Lolth has to build new Temples of Spirits and Fairies, which takes time, all she has done so far is build the Cradles of Fairies and Cradle of Spirits.
It seems that these Temples are needed to open doors to the Fairy World and the Spirit world which are dimensions separate from this one.
She didn't want to explain to me any more than that saying I wasn't prepared, but Nix in my Shadow said I shouldn't think or even consider entering these worlds since I don't meet the conditions.
In the world of Fairies and Spirits, only beings without physical bodies can enter as Fairies whose bodies are a manifestation of magical power, the bodies of Spirits whose bodies are a manifestation of spiritual energy, or the bodies of first-generation monsters whose bodies are a manifestation of the miasma.
In my case it was a little different, even though I was born as a first generation monster when I was still a Leech, I consumed and integrated bloodlines from others many times while continuing to evolve, now my body is not the same as before, this body is made of real flesh and blood.
It seems that if I tried to enter, my body would be slowly annihilated, Nix told me that knowing she was thinking of taking a look at these Fairy and Spirit worlds.
My curiosity is one of my biggest flaws, plus I tend to be very stubborn when I decide to do things, but I think having my body annihilated might have been a great way to change my mind this time around.
I spoke to Elf Queen Lolth about the reason for my visit and she said she knew she would return sooner or later, it seems the World Tree warned her about what I promised Elf Queen Luthien on the Morror Continent.
With that, I told her to prepare for tomorrow if possible as I wanted to leave the mainland as soon as I was done here.

Pov Goddess Selene:
I was drinking fruit juice while looking at a crack in space, I was on top of an asteroid floating around a planet.
Actually, I wasn't in that particular place, I was in my God Realm near that place looking at the rift in space.
"How many have gone?" (Kalistos)
"A few million, it was strangely easy, the Black Dragon Knights took care of them." (I)
"If it's all over, why are you here?" (Kalistos)
"As I said before, it was very easy, only those mindless beastly creatures showed up." (I)
"This looks like a test." (I)
"But it isn't, at least not yet." (Kalistos)
"That rift opened yesterday, you might not have noticed it yet." (Kalistos)
"You guys should have let Baldr handle it, it was this idiot who caused it in a fit of rage." (Kalistos)
"You almost killed his Hero and destroyed one of the main bases he built himself in the past." (I)
"That's what he gets for letting his worshipers commit a Soul Taboo." (Kalistos)
"If it weren't for the divine barrier around that place and half the energy was wasted crossing space, then that fool who calls himself a Hero would have died." (Kalistos)
"You know you almost made him summon another one, right?" (I)
"I don't mind as long as you don't break my Taboos again." (Kalistos)
"In answer to his previous question, Baldr knows that if he doesn't do anything else, he thinks that because he's the only one fighting for a peaceful future everyone has to follow him." (I)
"Naive dream, even though he sees the impossibility of what he desires, he doesn't realize that the more he seeks it, the further away he goes." (Kalistos)
Kalistos appears beside me and sits down in another chair, I leave a glass of juice floating in front of her as we talk, she takes it and drinks it as claws seem to stretch across the deep space squeezing the big slit and forcing it closed.
Soon the rift closes as it collapses disappearing from everyone's view with those claws now squeezing the empty space before disappearing.
"Why does he always have to act so over the top?" (I)
"Dragons are creatures of extremes, he likes to show his power." (Kalistos)
"Waste of strength, I imagine you'll be weak for a few hours from materializing your arm." (I)
"Now that we have time, I wanted to talk more about your daughter." (Kalistos)
"Which one?" (I)
"The aggressive one, I'm aware of what she's trying to do." (Kalistos)
"She just wants to take advantage of a bad situation and turn it into an opportunity." (I)
"She already has Divine power, she might even be stronger than some of the younger Gods, dropping all that might bring an unwanted imbalance." (Kalistos)
"Everything is fine, nobody knows about her and even if they did, they can't do anything." (I)
"It will be an interesting family gathering." (I)
The silence remained for a few minutes as I imagined my daughter and her maid's plan working, at least until Kalistos spoke again.
"Do you know that the time of sanctification is coming?" (Kalistos)
"Yes, but it's not the time yet, that's going to get a lot of attention." (I)
"I don't think I can wait any longer, the conditions are almost all met, I warn others." (Kalistos)
"They know, just like you and I, they can feel it." (I)
"(I didn't want him to depend on me so soon, but I think in that case it would be good for my Priestess.)" (I)
