The Rise of the Black Plain

While the group of pursuers sent by The Enchanted Realm, Kendrick's group, and Ruth's group were moving, Minos was on the last leg of his journey through the wormhole between The Mirror Realm and The Blossom World.

He had returned to his normal peak cultivation level of 103 and had lost much of his previous speed. However, his current speed was still very good, and he was only a few hours away from reaching his destination!

As he flew through the spatial tunnel on his way, he had a profound look on his face, thinking about his family's situation on the other side of the spatial distortion he would pass through in a few more hours of travel.

'Just hold on a little longer. I'm almost there!'

That was the thought in his head as he flew at top speed, using his own divine ability to alter the passage of tfor him, speeding him towards his destination.

Besides, he could only think about what he would do when he arrived in The Blossom World, where he would face a complicated situation when he arrived at a post that would surely be guarded by many guards.

But at his current level, there wasn't much for him to plan. He would fight those who stood in his way and try to go straight to his relatives as soon as he found them. Escape was his plan for when he had gathered all 12 of his companions.

Other than that, Minos had only been thinking about the items he had brought back from The Red Expanse over the past few days.

He had finally gained access to his spatial rings after returning from the dimension of the Celestial and had been counting his winnings for the past few days.

As he had expected when he was in The Red Expanse, the many enemies he had killed and the space storage items he had collected there had left him with great wealth.

In addition to a lot of information about rich and magnificent worlds, as well as the location of simportant places in the universe, Minos had got several precious artifacts and cultivation resources.

Not all of them would be useful for him and his family to strengthen themselves or even use to their advantage, but they could becenough of a bargaining chip for him to be considered a wealthy man, even in Zocarro!

With his current wealth, even if his party had collected nothing in the four decades he'd been away, Minos could pay for the trip to Zocarro and still have over 60% of the items he'd collected left over!

Meanwhile, he had items he could use more immediately on himself or his companions, things that could help him a lot in the battle ahead.

These items gave Minos an extra boost of confidence, so he went into a world where there was a level 114 being without fearing for his life.

'Just wait for me! I'm coming!' He kept thinking about this as he flew.

...

Two hours later...

Abby's group had left the headquarters of the dominant power of The Blossom World after regaining her strength after cultivating, and was now pushing toward the location of the universal wormhole port that connected to that world.

There was only one such location on the entire planet, from which one could travel to half a dozen places in the galaxy where this world was located, including The Mirror Realm.

Abby and her companions thought about what would happen if Minos had finally returned to The Enchanted Realm. They had no way of knowing what he was like now, but it was to be expected that he would cafter them. The easiest and quickest way for him to do that, the group thought, was to leave The Enchanted Realm, fight enemies in The Mirror Realm, and then travel through a wormhole from that world near the Dream Station to here, to The Blossom World.

This was a journey that could take Minos several weeks, but since tpassed differently for each plin this galaxy, the group of women were in a hurry.

In just 40 minutes of travel, they left the city they were in and quickly approached, where they saw a magnificent forest.

As in The Enchanted Realm, the location of the wormhole port in this world was not in a major city on the planet, but in a remote area where the local forces could more easily deal with high-level attacks and problems.

That's where the party was heading now.

...

While Ruth commanded her harem sisters and three allies to the area where she expected Minos to arrive in The Blossom World, unknowingly being followed, Hollie noticed the movement and paused.

"Something is wrong. My mother is moving." Ruth's daughter commented to her siblings and teammates, feeling the aura of her mother, who had been getting closer and closer to them, moving away from her group.

Everyone on her team stopped hiding in the sewer they had just entered and looked at Hollie seriously.

"Are you sure about this?" Kendrick asked.

"Yes. She's going in the opposite direction we're going." She said, not understanding what that could mean.

"Are they taking her somewhere bad?" Lily feared the worst.

The way she and everyone else saw it, if these women were standing still, their chances were better. If they were moving, considering this was a hostile world, it could mean terrible things!

Thinking of her mother, Abby, Kendrick clenched his fists as his expression turned grim. "What are we going to do? If it's what we think, we could be closer to losing her than catching up!"

"I think we should take our chances, young master." The robot said, amidst the concern of these five humans. "You won't be able to use your ability for a while after you get us close to them, but we can unite and fight together, maybe rescue Their Majesties and hide until you recover.

If we don't, we might get nowhere and lose them forever."

"Our father is coming, that's for sure." Lily commented. "Let's take our chances now. Maybe he'll reach us in time."

Grisdi swallowed her saliva as she listened to them, wanting to stop these people from making this mistake.

But with her cultivation sealed, she could do nothing when Kendrick used his divine ability to forge a portal near where Abby and the others were passing.

The moment he opened that portal, his action becvisible not only to his group but also to the detection items above that area, as well as to a group rapidly approaching them in that underground area!

"Shit!"

One of the level 111 Sovereigns sensed this before seeing Kendrick's group enter the newly created portal just as his group was about to catch up with them!
