Chapter 11: The Void Devouring Dreamweaving Spider!
by xennovelWhat appeared before Lu Yu was a lifeform approximately the size of a fist.
Its lower half was that of a spider, with six purple spider legs connecting to a pale abdomen, resembling a top-tier amethyst combined with a divine craftsman’s forging, an uncommon work of art in the world that captivated one’s gaze at first sight.
The remaining two spider legs had transformed into smooth and delicate white arms, with hands embracing an eerie purple cross hung around the neck. The shape resembled a cross-like Void Tree, within which lay a dark nebula locked by multiple runic star rings, both dazzling and mystical.
Its upper body bore a human appearance, with silver hair that fell over its shoulders, clumping together due to the sticky fluid in the egg.
The face was akin to that of a human girl’s but far more refined, with soft, pointed little features as pristine as early spring snow and exquisite enough to defy criticism. It wore a black lace eye-cover adorned with a platinum-colored solar flare ring pattern containing an inverted triangle overlaid with a thorn-wrapped purple eye. Despite its simplicity, it was extremely beautiful, imbued with a heavy esoteric aura.
Moreover, its tender expression while adjusting to the new environment resembled that of Xi Shi clutching her heart, eliciting a desire to cherish it.
However, in the void behind it, six cracks had opened, arranged in a circular pattern.
When the fractures opened, undulating with emerging purple eyes and the elusive light of the purple void, they appeared from a distance like six bright spots forming a halo behind its head, adding an inexplicable sense of sacredness.
If enlarged to a usual size, it would be a fantastic spectacle indeed!
“An excess of six spider eyes has actually grown in the space, expanding its field of vision, while the only human eye has been concealed. Could it be that it hides some secret ability?” Lu Yu pondered in his heart, suddenly feeling the hem of his clothes being tugged and, looking down, found that the newborn creature had somehow sparkled to the edge of the table.
The little spider held the cross tightly with one hand, while the other gently tugged at the fabric, lifting its small head. Even with the black eye-cover, Lu Yu could sense its deep affection.
The spider’s hand instinctively tightened its grip on the cloth in fear that Lu Yu would escape if released, letting out a touching call:
“Mew…”
Its sound was melodious and enchanting, as if coming from a siren from mythological tales.
It was a Mewling Beast!
So cute it’s unfair!
Lu Yu felt inexplicably like he had gained a daughter, reaching out to caress the little one’s head and gently assuring:
“I’m right here!”
“Mew!”
Upon receiving a response, the little spider’s mouth corners curled up revealing a joyful expression as it gently nuzzled Lu Yu’s fingers.
To it, this giant before its eyes represented its entire world, not wishing to part even for an instant.
Lu Yu looked at the clingy creature and smiled, pulling out a handkerchief and carefully wiping its body. Meanwhile, the data about the little spider surfaced in his mind.
【Void Devouring Dreamweaving Spider】

【Potential: Overlord High】

Void Blessing (can manipulate the force of space),

As an Overlord potential pet beast with a full ten skills, just the description dazzled Lu Yu.
Skills are ranked as low, intermediate, high, super, and legendary levels.
Lu Yu had never seen a legendary level skill.
Skill power grows exponentially as it advances from low level to super level within the same attribute.
What makes an Overlord pet beast so formidable is possessing at least one super level skill and several high level skills.
Among the abilities of the Void Devouring Dreamweaving Spider, except for 【Illusion】 and 【Dream Blessing】 which are intermediate level, skills like 【Heart-Eye Soulblade】 and all space-related abilities are at high level.
It has two super level abilities, one of which is【Void Brood Nest】, able to breed powerful enslaved creatures to command.
The Blood Erosion Worm seems to be a follower of the indigenous ancient god from the Nun’s world, known for inducing madness in monsters through vitality absorption and then harvesting masses of essence to nourish itself.
The Flickering Spider, a variant of the Flickering Mantis, can blink through space for attacks and is a top-level assassin.
Lu Yu also learned something from the spider’s soul information.
That is, although the【Void Brood Nest】 appears external and possibly snatchable or destructible, in reality…
It is the most dangerous!
Because this thing…
Is alive!
It is akin to a mobile portal, with the true nest hidden within the void controlled by the little spider.
Anyone believing it to be a vulnerability and trying to seize it would be directly captured and consumed by the void nest, and if too powerful to consume, it turns into a void curse, exiling adversaries.
It’s excessively cunning!
But I like it!
The second super ability is【Phase Shift】, forcibly rendering the body intangible to dodge harm—a top survival skill coveted by the Dream-Eating Cult.
As for【Ripping Demon Eye】, although nearly at super level, it isn’t a regular skill due to its dual-edged nature.
However, it can be complemented with 【Blood Erosion Worm】 to minimize the side effects.
Concerning the fixed abilities for Pet Beast Masters, Lu Yu has chosen the life-saving divine skill【Phase Shift】.
Surviving means possessing everything!
Since the little spider, as a mage-type character, won’t drift far from him, he can enjoy the benefits of the rest of its abilities.
Thinking this, Lu Yu looked down at the little spider affectionately rubbing his fingers.
Who could imagine that this terrifying monster capable of easily obliterating a modern city in the future would now crave his touch like a little kitten?
His life and its were now forever intertwined.
From this moment onward, he was no longer alone.
Perhaps this is the essence of being a Pet Beast Master!
Lu Yu pinched the little spider’s cheek and whispered:
“Let’s name you【Weaver Star】, nickname Little Spider!”
“Mew mew!”
The little spider nodded earnestly, making mewling sounds, seemingly trying to learn its own name. Accompanied by its sweet childish voice, it was indescribably cute and endearing.
Lu Yu was amused into laughter, and the little spider also laughed happily.
In reality, having just been born, it did not understand the significance of the name, but as long as its master was happy, that was enough.
Lu Yu held the little spider in his hand, contemplating another matter.
An evolution of a skill can be facilitated by the additional effect of the premium secret food.
Which skill should be evolved?
