 * Main Article: The War in Sariella

Having escaped the clutches of Ariel and Mother, Kumoko begins her life on the surface as a protector of a small county in the country of Sariella, which happened when she saved the lord's wife from bandits. After wiping out the bandits from the surrounding area and healing many people using magic, she is worshipped as the Divine Beast, a servant of the Goddess. This causes issues with the Word of God Church and the country of Ohts, who is dismayed at the damage Kumoko did to their country upon leaving the Great Elroe Labyrinth. A war between the two countries begins, though Kumoko intervenes on the side of Sariella. The battle is interrupted by the sudden appearance of Ariel, who destroys Kumoko with Abyss Magic.

Kumoko, by manipulating her soul, is reborn from one of her own eggs that she laid hidden in the Great Elroe Labyrinth, where she is given sustenance by Güliedistodiez. Once she gains enough stamina, she evolves into her final form, the Arachne, and heads back to the surface, where she finds Keren County under attack by Ohts. She ends up saving Sophia, one of the reincarnations, from Potimas Harrifenas, the elven Patriarch. Ariel steps in, finishes off Potimas' robot clone, and calls a truce with Kumoko. Also, with no where else to go, Sophia and the newly vampirized Merazophis decide to tag along as they travel south to the capitol of Sariella, where, in the end, Sophia and Mera decide to join Kumoko, Ariel, and the Puppet Taratects as they travel to the Demon Realm.
