@Thirtyfour The ultimate form of a spider is very humanoid. This reminds me of typical xianxia, where no matter how mighty a monster could be, like a dragon, ultimately it will strive toward a human form, which is apparently the ultimate form of everything. It's probably some Asian philosophy, though I suppose it's not totally alien in the West either, seeing how, for example, the Bible says God created man in his own image. Anyway, if the humanoid form is the ultimate in that world as well, how on Earth could actual humans be at the bottom of the barrel? It would only make sense there would be supreme human powerhouses out there. We just haven't seen them, aside from the one pestering Kumo and treating her as entertainment.
