The Rise of the Black Plain

The moment Vico acted, everyone around the North Sea noticed the change caused by his attack, feeling the power of a God and the change in the enemy formations.

...

At the southeastern border of the North Sea...

The group of elves were observing the strange phenomena that prevented them from entering the North Sea when it suddenly changed, weakening considerably.

As the enemy formations in the sky glowed brightly like light bulbs about to burn out, the people on the nearby ships circulated their energies and felt an overwhelming power coming from the southwest.

"That feeling..." A level 97 elf looked in that direction, realizing the enemy defenses were falling, but this was caused by the movement of the being behind the aura that he and everyone else there were now feeling.

"That... It's a level 100 aura! Some elder has advanced a level!" A human on another ship commented while some of them tried to recognize whose aura it might be.

The elves clenched their fists, feeling this could be a good thing or a problem. A God was virtually invincible. If the person acting in the southwest was foolish and decided to do dangerous things, the whole world could be in danger.

On the other hand, if such a God were reasonable and joined forces with the Spiritual World to fight the alien invaders, his existence would be essential to everyone. With a God on their side, the world would at least have a protector who was truly capable of dealing with extraterritorial threats.

No one could say for sure the level of the enemies. But it was certain that they were not ordinary. Hence, only with a God leading the Spiritual World could the local forces stand a chance against their opponents!

That's what everyone thought just by looking at the complexity of the defenses in the North Sea.

...

While the elves watched the enemy formations fall, Julian's group also witnessed the decrease in intensity of the phenomena around the North Sea.

Seeing the sudden change caused by the attack of a level 100 cultivator, he and the Demigods of the Divine Continent were very serious at the moment, aware that someone had passed the level 99 bottleneck, but also that it was time for them to find out the truth.

'It's Vico Travisani's aura... Shit, this is going to be trouble.' Julian thought to himself as he looked in the direction where Vico was, remembering the problems this God had had with Minos in the past.

But he couldn't do much about that, so he concentrated on what was in front of him. "Get ready! We'll enter the North Sea in five minutes!" He shouted, noticing Vico's progress in destroying the enemy formations.

Another Demigod shouted. "Leave your ships here. If we sail, we'll be late for our destination. Let's fly to the North Sea. That is our only chance to keep up with the various groups coming with us."

Julian agreed. "Raise your guard. We don't know what we might find in this area ahead!"

Since there were no sea beasts in the North Sea and everyone there was at a high level, there was no reason for them not to fly over those waters.

So, like several other groups around the borders of the North Sea, as soon as the storms ahead of them calmed down, the group left their ship and headed toward the central part of that region.

They didn't know exactly where they were going, so as they flew toward their destination, they would scan the area for signs of enemies.

...

The same thing that had just happened to Julian's group happened to everyone around the North Sea, starting from Vico's position and spreading rapidly in both possible directions.

Those closest to Vico saw the space to move first, while those further away had to wait a few seconds longer.

But the difference in time was minimal. The alien defenses around the North Sea fell at practically the same time around the observed locations.

Vico was the first to enter the North Sea, followed by the men guarding the place where he had arrived earlier.

Having waited for no one, he left them all behind and headed for the center of this area, quickly understanding what lay beyond the enemy defenses.

But even he would need a few minutes to travel all the way to the island where Minos and his people were at that moment.

...

While Vico was moving towards Minos, Emperor Stuart and his entire group in the core of the territory previously controlled by the space explorers of the Mechanic Empire had already noticed the change in this territory.

After more than a year of living in this place and learning about enemy technologies, the group had begun to understand various armor technologies and the alien base enough to significantly improve their observation of the North Sea.

As a result, they all noticed that Vico began to destroy the alien defenses almost instantly at the man's movement.

Everyone in the group was now gathered at the alien headquarters at the top of the volcano, looking in the direction from which Vico was flying toward them.

"A God... I didn't expect to meet a God on this journey." The dragon of the group commented as he looked in the direction Vico was coming from, sensing that something unusual was approaching them.

Minos had a complicated look, having been hindered just when his people were making interesting progress in this area.

If he stayed in this place for another year, he felt that not only could he reach level 88, but his group could understand the first part of the alien robots, which they needed to learn how these beings could exist in the Spiritual World without being hit by the Black Lightning.

They were close to mastering other technologies, but fortunately, they could continue their progress even if the newcomers got in the way.

But any loss would be a loss for the Black Plain Empire and humanity. So when he looked in the direction Vico was coming from, Minos couldn't help but sigh in defeat.

As for the problem of this man's approach, Minos didn't think about it at the moment because he didn't know Vico's aura and didn't know this was the man coming to him.

Apart from frustration, the only thing on his mind was that now was finally the time for the Spiritual World to start preparing for the external enemy.

'I wanted to stay here for a few more months, but it's not the end of the world if we leave now. We can interrogate those three and finish understanding what we've learned. Meanwhile, the rest of the world's powers can finally start investigating this place.

That will help us prepare better.' He clenched his fists just before he saw a golden glow cross the space and appear above this island.
