Despite the innate concern she felt about fighting a being as deep and abyssal as Kireina, the Spider Empress had a strong sense of pride and would never bend the knee to her, she would never suddenly ask her to become her ally or something, like many of Kireina’s enemies. And she would rather die again than become her friend. She felt like her purpose in life was to become someone better than Kireina, her parallel, and to surpass her even more. She now had the power, but that would be enough? A malicious thought passed through her mind as she thought about a similar tactic she had used before, and with these abilities that had awakened within her as a Primordial Beast which not even Hel knew about, perhaps such plans could be possible if she did things correctly.
The Spider Empress looked back at the Emperors, all of them hated her, it was evident, but they had to cooperate with her, even though the Squirrel and the Alligator Emperor had a strong grudge against her after she had betrayed and eaten them away, they couldn’t really fight against her and had to cooperate by Hel’s orders. In fact, it could be said that they had an even deeper and stronger hate against her than at Kireina, specifically these two Emperors, and would even betray her and join Kireina if they could just to kill her off… But that was not possible, and in the big picture, they didn’t mind slaughtering Kireina either.
”I will unleash my webs when the time is close, all of you should try to distract the enemies and open a path, make sure to protect me as well.” She said with a domineering voice, the Undead God Emperors glared at her with anger…
”You dare order us around?!” Asked the Dark Flames Squirrel Emperor with a dignified and offended tone of voice, his anger was the strongest and he was always a temperamental, selfish, and egocentric monster, so being with the one that betrayed and killed him as her ally was very painful and frustrating to him. “The only one in here that command us is Hel… Not you, Spider Empress, you’re nothing else than another puppet of Hel, this doesn’t give you the right to order us around!”
”That’s right!” Roared the Rock Alligator Emperor, his enormous jaws began to move rapidly as he spoke with his serious and strong tone of voice. “You… From all people doesn’t have the right to tell us what to do, you traitorous snake!”
”Oh my? Are you two angered because I betrayed you and ate you to gain power? It was the best bet we had to kill Kireina back then…” Said the Spider Empress, nonchalantly about confessing her betrayal. “I almost managed to kill her, but she combined the powers she gained from the monkey and the salamander and well, she defeated me in the last moment… So at the end you two were going to get killed anyways, it was the best chance to win, you should feel proud you increased such a chance a bit… If not, it wouldn’t had even been possible to give her a good beating before being ultimately roasted to death.”
Her words were so bold that they made the two Emperors rage even more! The Spider Empress seemed to be enjoying making them angry, all while the other Emperors remained in silence, although all of them had their own grudges against one another too, the Bird Emperor in specific hated the Monkey Emperor, as in one fight against him he had lost his ability to fly, and since then he had been dead set into killing him, which he frustratedly never accomplished because Kireina and Rimuru killed him with poison.
The Salamander Empress was the most caring of them all aside from the Monkey Emperor, she cared about her children and wanted to protect her area, but Kireina came to kill her just to grow stronger and get rid of an annoying variable such as her, which ended in her doom and that of many of her children too, she also had a strong grudge against the Spider Empress, the Squirrel, and the Alligator, as they had promised her that they would assist her if Kireina came to fight her, but they never came, choosing to storm her hideout with their troops.
And lastly, the Monkey Emperor had no relationship with these monsters, he was a dignified ruler and magician that lived way longer than all of them, and was a friend of the Wyvern Overlord and was even part of his Kingdom of monsters, which he had raised in the past, inside the Grand Forest. His thoughts about these Emperors were not of companionship but only of disgust, probably, as he saw them as monsters than people, even if they were intelligent.
”You…!”
”I am done with this farse, I’ll fucking kill you this time!”
The Squirrel and the Alligator flew towards the Spider Empress, attempting to take her down! Their auras were incredibly big and powerful, not at all like they used to be back then, and they even bended space and time as they moved! Their power was simply in another level completely!
However, a sudden shock hit their bodies, stopping them in midair, their eyes looked hatefully at the Spider Empress, as she waved her head.
”You don’t get it, right? We can’t hurt one another, so stop being so annoying and be of some use.” She sighed. She knew that the power of Hel’s authority would stop them, and they would suddenly be taken over by her strings, forced to move to Hel’s will.
”Hel has not stopped me, she agrees with my plan, now move and do something useful for once, you pathetic rat and lizard.” Said the Spider, completely destroying the pride of these two Emperors as she called them as “rat” and “lizard” respectively, a great offense to the squirrels and alligators!
”Y-You damn Spider…!”
”You won’t get away with this… Ungh…”
