So I'm a Spider, So What? - Vol. 9 Ch. 41.2

[chickenstalker]

I'm getting Dragon Ball blue balls flashback while reading this. It's dragging too much.

 

[Riger]

What about 'corrosion' element? The one that can't be defended against. The only reason she survived it was because she ate those snails or slugs (can't remember which) that gave very minor corrosion damage when touched.

 

[Baysiri]

Friendly reminder that none of this would be going on if she waited for her parallel wills to come back and that she's stupid for it.

 

[cheekibreeki]

buckle up then, @chickenstalker, because the power creep is just going to ramp up

 

[Oneesamaa]

People, you want this arc to finish quickly ? It's sad because once this arc is finished the story will lose all interest.

 

[imahuman]

Next time, on Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka!

Page 1: I need to use Eye of Extinction x 5!
P2: Here's my first eye using it!
P3: It hits!
P4: Here's my second eye!
P5: It hits!
P6-11: repeat
P12: Is it enough?
P13: find out next time in another 2 weeks

@lolmaolol Maybe, but it's also fair to say that having the majority of your mental capacity elsewhere probably lowers your ability to make the perfect decision for any situation and its foreseeable as well as unforeseeable consequences.

 

[Ironclad]

@Riger no xp then

@lolmaolol
Do you remember that Mother blocked the conection to the main body 2 chapters before, right?
The parallel minds can't return if there's something blocking the conection.

@Oneesamaa
Let me guess, Web Novel only?
Volume 5 is as good as this one, and Volume 6 is one of the best volumes with how much it characterize and develop new characters.

 

[Smokeball]

some webtoon quality here LuL

 

[Liar]

How many years have I read this? When will she become spider lady.

 

[Hamin]

So intense. I remember this fight from the LN too, was wild. If you guys are actually comparing about the pace just read the LN. I like it when a manga adapts such intense fights in depth.

 

[Baysiri]

@linkhuesitos15 Yes, I remember, but that's not exactly a counterargument to what I said. If kumo had waited instead of leaving the labyrinth into the unknown without her full capacity, her mother would have either been killed by the wills or she would have had to attack kumo at her home before that(like she is now). Except in this scenario, kumo wouldn't have gotten caught off guard. It'd give her the complete edge in the fight because both her mother and the other spiders would have came to her instead.

@Glomoro Don't the wills only multiply her mental capacity? She should have had her base intelligence even without her other wills. She's shown in the early chapters that she was smart enough by herself. This time she got too complacent and I would go as far as to call it out of character just to forward the plot.

 

[Glomoro]

@lolmaolol They don't increase her intelligence directly as far as I'm aware, but having a sort of "mental conference" available and at high speed probably helps think about things in far greater detail in a short amount of time. Two heads are better than one, sort of deal. Two equally smart people can spitball ideas off each other more effectively than one person can alone.

@lolmaolol

If kumo had waited instead of leaving the labyrinth into the unknown

You mean staying in the "Worst" dungeon of the world instead of going to the outside world which is way less dangerous?

Waiting in one place would be way more dangerous, Mother can track Kumo's position thanks to the "Kin Domination" Skill and she already know all her home bases. Also, do you really think that there's only 1 Puppet Taratect?
The longer mother feels in danger she will send a bigger army.
Last time were 3 Archs and 10 Greaters, this time she send 1 Puppet, 6 Archs and 15 Greaters. What will come next?

Spoiler

There're other 7 Puppets and there's also the Demon Lord which is Mother's Mother.

 

[Baysiri]

@linkhuesitos15
Kumo had absolutely no way of knowing whether or not the outside world was safer than the dungeon. For all she knew, there were overworld entities much stronger than the ones in the labyrinth waiting for her. That's why it's a stupid move to move out of the labyrinth without her other wills.
And clearly mother wasn't going to track kumo to begin with, seeing as how she was standing there waiting for kumo to go out in the open before she acted. If kumo had waited, any scenario she would have come across would have been better than the one she's in now.

@Glomoro
So then they didn't decrease her intelligence either when they left. Which means she was fully capable of making better decisions than this but was written not to.

 

[linkhuesitos15]

@lolmaolol
How can the outside world be more dangerous than the "worst dungeon of the world"?
Mother doesn't track Kumo physically, she's using her soul conection (Kin Domination) to track Kumo like wisdom does and also Mother can literally see and hear what Kumo does. Kumo is having a lot of troubles with just 1 Puppet, what do you think will happen if Mother send the others together?
Mother only waited Kumo to exit the dungeon to force her to teleport to one of her home bases where Mother already had an army waiting. Mother is way way more intelligent than you think.

Kumo has done stupid decisions and will do more in the future, but this isn't one of them.
Heck, in the nearby future she will have

Spoiler

an opportunity to easily stop mother but a bad choice of her will bring even more problems

 

[art17]

The spider is in a pinch, but she's gonna go full Danzou using all of her Izanagi's Saringan

@linkhuesitos15

How can the outside world be more dangerous than the "worst dungeon of the world"?

How can it be more dangerous? Any third grader could read the description of "worst dungeon of the world" and tell you that it doesn't exactly say what's out there in the outside world. Why would she assume that the outside world is more peaceful when it's not a world she's familiar with to begin with? The description doesn't exactly say "worst dungeon in a peaceful world." It's simple logic that you can't understand apparently.

And you keep bringing up this "multiple puppets" nonsense argument. You do realize that Kumo has other options than just fighting, right? Even if her mother knows where she'll be, that doesn't exactly help her prepare for where kumo could ranadomly teleport if she saw a fight she couldn't win to begin with. Her mother would die to the wills before she ran out of mana teleporting randomly around the dungeon.
