As far as i have read, strong enough to partially absorb/blend with her, and she gets all buddy-buddy with D
Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?

As of chapter 330 in the web novel, she can beat Arial easy. It's important to know at this point Kumoko doesn't exist as Kumoko anymore, she is now Shiraori - a God. As strong as Arial is she cannot defeat a God. Gods are outside the system and Shiraori can simply flick Arial and it will bypass all her defence and hurt her.
She is still a low-tier newbie God all be it always improving, always getting stronger...and as far as newbie Gods go she is strong due to been gifted with D's darkness magic. Her own specialisations are her 8 Evil Eyes which are now much much stronger and Dimensional magecraft (think Space/Time magic but extremely advanced) but she is still no way near D. D is a high-tier God, a God standing above most other Gods. She is like D's apprentice at this point and have a good relationship. Kumoko/Shiraori is just as calculating and evil as D though.

@Trance11 - that explains D’s fascination with kumoko/shiraori because D probably see’s some of herself in kumoko/shiraori (just a theory). Can’t wait for the manga part when she steps into god level... by the way, from all her classmates/fellow reincarnatees, is kumoko/shiraori the only one to reach god level ? Thanks!

No none of them are gods, she is currently gathering them and using them for her own scheme, while following D's order.
Funny you say that, but yes there is a very good reason why she sees herself in Kumoko. Kumoko was never human to begin with, she was the pet spider in the classroom. Her memories are D's, D used some of her own soul to reincarnate Kumoko, and that's why she reincarnated as a spider...she was already a spider. Of course once she becomes a god her form is humanoid and resembles D but she is more pale with white hair and creepy spider-like red eyes.

Guys, I am already on chapter 21 but I still find this manga "not that good". Its just I am reading this until now because of the high ratings and also expecting a good plot twist. Should I expect more from this manga for me to keep going or this is it and drop this? I'm ok with spoilers if it can hype me up to continue reading this.

The story focus completely on Kumoko's fights meanwhile she's inside the dungeon and there's not a overall plot (from her side) until she exits the dungeon. Fortunately the dungeon is almost over with Alaba's fight being the grand finale.
Originally there's a second story that runs alongside Kumoko's at the start. This second story is about an other group of students (the manga seems to forgot to mention that the whole classroom died therefore being 26 reincarnators in the story), until Kumoko escape from the dungeon this second story is the one that drive the plot forward and stablish the worldbuilding.
There're several other stories with new MCs that also run alongside Kumoko but these are later on the story.
To give you an idea, the Web Novel has 550+ chapters and only 330 are for Kumoko everything else are side stories of other characters.
Truth of the dual story
Due to what I have written is why most readers came to the conclusion that the Dungeon Arc is nothing more than the Prologue of the story. It's fun to see/read Kumo fighting for her life and everything but that's nothing more than the setting for the real plot.
From the normal humans point of view the story is generic as it can be, because they don't know the full story.

Truth of the dual story
Later in the story is revealed that both stories are in fact in different timelines. Due to the diferences between species (Humans and Spiders in this case) Kumoko was born 6 months before everyone else and she could move at will right after her birth unlike humans that spend 9 months in the womb and later need 3 years to move properly.
This is important because there's also revealed that Kumoko is the Demon Lord in Shun's timeline (MC of the other group of students). In the manga this came out of nowhere because Shun's story doesn't exist here, but in both novels it was hinted early due to rumours saying that the new Demon Lord was strangely young (exactly the same age of the reincarnators at the time) and they came to the conclusion that it was posible that the Demon Lord was one of the students.
On Shun's story several important characters appear like the Demon Generals or others that are neutral to the conflict. Some of them are just partially developed (What they do or what side they belong) about the central conflict on the moment, but it's on Kumoko's story where you actually know their personalities and backstories.
Both stories sometimes show the same events but they may have completelly different opinions about it to complement each other.

A ridiculous Monster/Demon Lord appeared one day out of nowhere to destroy humanity and our only salvation is this group of teenagers (Human Reincarnators).

Oh wow. Thanks for the effort on giving me those information. I gotta say you gave me a hype to continue reading this. I guess I'll just endure this dungeon arc for now because honestly it's really kind of boring for me. But knowing those spoilers you told me really made me interested with the manga again. Thanks.

(Pretty big spoiler warning for this one.)

It is not revealed that Kumoko is the demon lord. It is merely hinted at. Later, in vol. 5, it is shown that the demon lord is, actually, Ariel but part of Kumoko has fused with Ariel changing her personality. Kumoko is the supposed administrator "White"
