The diagram V - log(1 + Ze) as function of (alpha, delta) is considered for quasars. Here V is the apparent visual magnitude, Ze is the emission line redshift, alpha and delta are the equatorial coordinates. Two opposite extreme 'spots' NE and SE are observed on the sky, where the inclination of the straight line fitting the dependence V - log(1+ Ze) is maximum and minimum. The coordinates of the centers of these extreme spots are (alphaNE, deltaNE) equal to (282 deg, +42 deg) and (alphaSE, deltaSE) equal to (70 deg, -38 deg) with errors 5 deg. A hypothesis of the Super-attractor (SA) is proposed to explain such an effect. Two independent tests of this hypothesis are realized. First, the dependence or the frequency a of the absorbers in QSO spectra on (alpha, delta) is investigated. A region of the larger a is found. The coordinates of its center are (alpha, delta) equal to (82 deg, -10 deg) with error 5 deg. Second, the cases of Za greater than Ze are plotted in the Mercatorial projection (alpha, delta). The most of the cases Za - Ze greater than 0.02 are concentrated within the circle with radius R equal to 34 deg and center (alpha, delta) equal to 50 deg, -15 deg). The both anomalous regions overlap the Southern extreme spot around SE. The SA direction is (alpha, delta) equal to (67 deg, -21 deg) with errors about 12 deg. The redshift of SA is ZSA equal to 1.7 +/- 0.3 that corresponds to the distance rSA equal to (3100 plus or minus 300)h-1 Mpc for the Hubble constant H0 = 75h km per sec Mpc. The SA mass is MSA approximately 10SA approximately 1018 - 1020 solar masses. The orientation of the normal to the quasiperiodical large-scale sheet structure on the sky occurs near SA.
