Dragon Monarch System
chapter-523

Bang!!!

The ground around cracked from the impact of his landing. The Queen of the Soul Devouring Spiders gulped in fear. She took a few steps back in fear while staring at Aditya. His face was cold as frost.

"Are you a Queen of the Soul Devouring Spiders?" Aditya asked in a cold tone. Aditya knew that being a Peak 5th-order Spider, the Queen should be able to understand what he was saying and also talk in their language.

The spider Queen nodded her head. "Yes...."

"Your Children have done a lot of chaos to my people and to my troops..." At that moment Aditya was like a beast that was trying his best to not lose control of himself. Heavy killing intent was threatening to lose out on his body.

Although no calculations have made been on the casualties, Aditya had some rough estimations in his mind. He has lost close to half a million of troops, and the number of civilians that had died should have exceeded a million. Countless farmers who lived in small villages were killed. Without these farmers, the food supply of the whole empire is going to get worse in the future. Without the farmers, who was going to grow crops and cultivate the lands? These farmers were a really important part of the Southern Region's economy. Aditya still hadn't counted the properties damaged due to the attacks from the Soul Devouring Spiders.

"Where is Simon?" Taking a step forward, Aditya asked her in a cold and threatening tone.

"I don't know..." When I opened my eyes, I found myself here along with around 100,000 of my children. My children went out to look for food. A voice in my head told me to send most of my children to the capital where there was supposed to be a lot of food.

Aditya didn't know if this Queen was lying or not. He decided to trust her words. From her tone, it didn't look like she was lying. Aditya didn't think that she was stupid enough to keep information About Simon especially when she was about to die.

"You're not going to ask me to spare your life?" Aditya asked.

The Queen merely shook her head and replied in a mature way. "My very existence is a threat to the balance of this whole world and I understand that. As long as I exist there always will be a strong desire within me to reproduce. And my children will always continue to devour living beings and keep on multiplying. And this will keep going on until, all living beings in the whole world are devoured by them and when that happens, there will be no more food for my children. What do you think will happen then?" The Queen asked.

"I don't know. Maybe the possibilities of cannibalism are very possible." In other words, hunger might drive the Soul Devouring Spiders to devour each other.

"Exactly. We are a species that goes against the laws of this world. It's better if you kill me." Aditya calmed down a little bit hearing her words. Her words made sense. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't control all of the children and stop them from hunting living beings. As their numbers increase, the Spider's hunger will keep increasing. This is a never-ending cycle.

"How many of your children are still alive?" The Queen should be able to sense her children and even control them.

"None. You and your people have killed every single one of them. However, there are still a few remaining locations where there are eggs of the Soul Devouring Spider. If you don't destroy those eggs, from those eggs a new generation of Soul Devouring Spiders will arise."

"Can't you destroy the eggs?" Aditya asked.

"I can give birth to life. I can't destroy them. At most, I can tell you the locations of where those eggs are located." Without any of her Soul Devouring Spiders, she can't order them to destroy those eggs.

"Alright tell me the location," Aditya asked.

"The three locations are close to the Capital of the Northern Frost Dragon Empire...." Once Aditya received the exact locations, he thanked the Queen.

"It's time." Aditya prepared to end her life in one strike. But then the Queen stopped him.

"Before you kill me there is something that I want to give you." As she spoke, a strange Silk Cocoon flew in Adiya's direction. Aditya caught the Silk Cocoon. As soon as he read the description of the Silk Cocoon, he gasped and then stared at the Queen in deep shock. He never thought that she would give him something so valuable, especially when he is the one who is going to kill her.

"This is a parting gift. Originally I intended to use this to get powerful. I want you to use this to get stronger." Aditya nodded his head with a complicated look.

Snap!!!

Aditya snapped his fingers. The next second, a huge wave of Crimson flame engulfed the Queen and a part of the forest in it. Around an entire minute later, under Aditya's control, the Crimson flames slowly died down.

『Ding! You have killed Soul Devouring Spider Queen. You have obtained Experience points. Your experience Point has been saved for future use.』

Aditya then took a second to look at the Silk Cocoon in his hand.

『Name - Spatial Silk Cocoon 』

『Rank - Peak 5-star (☆☆☆☆☆)』

『Description - The Spatial Silk Cocoon can only be made by the Soul Devouring Spider Queen once in her entire life. A rare cocoon is woven from the threads of the Spider Queen's essence. Once cultivated inside, it allows the user to perceive the delicate fabric of space and the entangled weaves of the universe.』

'By using this Spatial Silk Cocoon, I can learn to increase my affinity for Spatial Elements and learn to open portals or even learn to teleport.' Aditya already knew two types of Spatial Passive skills. One of them allowed him to teleport back to the Dragon palace from any place in the whole world. He can also teleport anywhere within 25 km range of his Dragon Palace. And the second one allowed him to teleport next to any of his Dragonians or Dragon warriors. These two skills were already extremely valuable to Aditya. If he further managed to increase his affinity for Spatial elements then, he might be able to learn teleportation Skills as well.

The Spatial Silk Cocoon glittered like a pearl. Delicate and translucent, it appeared almost ethereal, with faint, entangled patterns swirling across its surface. The silk seemed to capture the essence of the night sky, with tiny speckles resembling distant stars. Its beauty was unparalleled, captivating any onlooker's gaze, making it seem like a celestial treasure. Anyone who glanced at it would feel a pull, an undeniable glamour as if the very universe was contained within its delicate folds.

After gazing at the Spatial Silk Cocoon for some time, Aditya gently put away the Spatial Silk Cocoon in his storage ring. He then returned back to Aurora Frostreach City.

Once he returned, Aditya immediately gave orders to Watson to send three teams led by three powerful Dragonians to go and destroy the eggs of the Soul Devouring Spiders immediately.

Sometimes later, Riya, Sasha, Lilith, and Victoria all returned to Aurora Frostreach City as well.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Echo Dominion Empire and the King of Hephaestus Kingdom are here to meet you. Both of them have been waiting to talk to you about the Soul Devouring Spiders and a few other matters." Usually, the members of The Triumvirate Alliance which were the Istarin Empire, The Echo Dominion Empire, and The Hephaestus Kingdom met at least once every 2 to 3 months time to talk and discuss various problems and how to tackle them.

In the meeting, the three Kings talked about politics, geopolitical, and other serious matters that needed their attention. Even the three Prime Ministers from member Kingdoms would come to talk about the finances of the Triumvirate Alliance and their Empires and Kingdoms.

"Let's meet them." The Echo Dominion Empire and The Hephaestus Kingdom had sent their troops to help the Istarin Empire in this emergency situation. Even Alicia's father, the Emperor of the Ethereal Empire had sent about 200,000 troops after hearing the news. Aditya knew that he needed to thank them each personally for lending a helping hand in this emergency situation.

However, Aditya couldn't take a step when suddenly his senses flared up. Aditya immediately looked in the direction of the north.

Seeing the serious face on Aditya's face, Watson became confused. "Your Majesty, what happened......?" Just as he asked the question, he instantly got an answer to his question as his senses also flared up.

Not just Watson, every soldier, every Adventurer, every rogue cultivator, every Dragonian, and every Dragon warrior in the Southern region all were able to sense this. Like Watson, the soldiers' faces instantly turned pale as they sensed this.

Watching the reaction of Watson and other soldiers Aditya thought in his mind. 'Interesting! Watson isn't even a sensory cultivator yet he was able to sense that.'

"Your Majesty, what was that?" Watson asked. His face had turned pale. He looked breathless.

"Aditya..." Riya, Sasha, Lilith, and Victoria all came to Aditya. They too had sensed it.

"I don't know. But I feel the law of this world is starting to weaken." Even Aditya wasn't completely sure what was going on. The density of Mana in the atmosphere had suddenly increased. The Mana density did not increase too much. But the change was felt by all cultivators and magic beasts in the Southern region.

Across the six continents, the mana density in the atmosphere is more or less the same. There was a natural barrier (law) that kept the mana density from rising. It was this law that prevented any Peak 5th-order cultivator from reaching beginner 6th-order from the 6 continents without needing to go to the Main continent.

"What is happening.....now?"

Really Thank you very much to all those who send support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!

Spoiler - Something really big is going to happen in the next few chapters. Something that you all have been asking for months now.
