The Rise of the Black Plain

The Spatial Sword had evolved greatly by this point and now gave Minos much more power and ability, far above what he had when he was at the 8th stage.

Being 25% stronger than it was a few months ago when he was still at level 79, every spiritual sword created by Minos in the surroundings could endanger even the lives of level 89 Sages!

Therefore, when they appeared, freezing the spaces through which they passed, everyone in the surroundings became much more serious, noting that they had to be careful against this strange opponent.

Even though he was only at level 82, Minos could threaten even the Demigods there!

As 10th-stage people, they had extremely strong bodies, one more technique than Sages, and massive cultivation. But that didn't mean they couldn't suffer from a skilled level 89 Spiritual Sage.

Even though they had advantages against such people, these three would have to be careful, as they could suffer injuries from blows strong enough to kill level 89 Sages.

Upon noticing that this was the power of Minos' technique, all three became serious, showing their soul projections as they moved to dodge the swords coming at them.

Simultaneously, their men in the surrounding area were in danger!

Divine Temple!

The level 90 woman made a few hand seals as she stopped moving while the energy in her surroundings solidified, forming small temples on top of her and some high-level Sages in the surroundings.

As she defended her people, the other two attacked in Minos' direction.

Titans Hands!

One of the two Demigods moved his hands against each other, quickly approaching Minos' body by flying forward.

Minos had already seen this and circulated his energies to activate his 7th technique, affecting the gravity in his surroundings.

Chaotic Gravity: Repulsion!

The moment this technique showed itself, the avatar's hands greatly slowed, allowing Minos to move out of its reach.

Soon after, the two hands crashed into each other, making a loud crashing sound, while the wind and spiritual energy in the surroundings became chaotic.

The other Demigod saw this and didn't hesitate, striking hard against Minos.

Ancestral Roots!

Great roots sprang up from the rocks at the entrance of that mountain, moving like snakes toward Minos.

Divine Seal: Spatial Distortion!

Minos made the gestures of a seal and then clapped his hands together while a golden seal appeared in his surroundings.

Then the gravity in the vicinity stopped working normally, and all those below level 90 felt for a second the gravity decrease 10 times and then increase 100 times.

At first, the people there floated, losing control over their bodies, hitting the walls and the ceiling of that entrance. But then their bodies were suddenly accelerated downwards.

Chaotic Gravity: Spatial Distortion!

So when the snake-like moving roots flew like spears toward the great avatar of Minos, the seal shone brightly, and they passed through his body.

But none of them hit him, and immediately these attacks were directed at the defensive temples on the many men in the surrounding area, protected by that level 90 woman.

"Aaaagh!"

The first sounds of pain came from these Spiritual Sages who thought they were protected from Minos' spiritual swords, feeling the blows from one of their leaders.

Luckily what protected them was the technique of a Demigod, so their suffering had not been deadly serious.

"Damn it! He just used a fusion!" One of those two men shouted as the woman felt the weight of having her defenses destroyed by her leader.

"Fucking trespasser!" The stronger of the three said, seeing that it would not be simple to fight Minos.

But just when he thought Minos would continue this high-level dance, Emperor Stuart activated his mental technique and looked in the direction of the high-level Sages, still unharmed.

Infinite Dream!

In the next second, as several of these men fell unconscious in their surroundings, Minos manipulated space and appeared 200 meters ahead of where he was standing.

"I'll be going ahead. See you later!" He shouted, flying at extremely high speed after that, so fast that by the time his words reached the ears of these people, he was well ahead on his way into the interior of this mountain.

Minos' speed was faster than the speed of sound, so by the time they heard his words, those Demigods had already lost sight of Emperor Stuart.

"The bastard is heading into the interior of our headquarters!" The one who had tried to crush Minos with his hands shouted before moving to the core of this place.

The other two Demigods frowned, and before long, they were opening spatial cracks as they moved into the most important locations of that place.

As they split up, one of them started chasing Minos, while the others went to protect the most important points of this area.

With their departure, only Starclaw and a dozen low and mid-level men of the 9th stage remained behind at the entrance of this mountain.

This bird looked at the surroundings and saw the unconscious people here and there, shocked at what Minos had just done.

'Can he really complete those plans?' She wondered, temporarily ignoring the humans in the surroundings.

But when one of them attacked her, she immediately focused on those people, feeling much better now that she had no people stronger than her around.

...

Meanwhile, Minos followed the corridors inside this building, quickly reaching an area inside the mountain that was like a large hollow area covered by the stones of this natural formation.

There several small houses and buildings were built in the middle of the area, which looked like a village of a few hundred people.

Minos used his visual ability to observe the surroundings and soon found one of the paintings made by Henricus Longus in the central part of the village.

One of his opponents was quickly approaching him when he saw that another had already appeared next to this painting.

Seeing this, Minos hurried up, running towards that town while mischievously smiling.

'You want to stop me, but isn't it more important to stop your family members, allies, and friends from trying to kill each other?'

Darkness slowly spread to the surroundings of that inner area of the mountain, which was illuminated by something on top of the mountain.

The dark mist escaping from the Soul Avatar of Minos quickly covered most of that village, reaching the hundreds of people there.

Dark Sea!
