The Rise of the Black Plain



After realizing they were acting incorrectly, several of the stronger ones began manipulating space in the surrounding area, trying to block Minos.

Manipulating space within the Space and Time Avatar domain was difficult, so it would be against Demigods.

However, difficult or not, it was not impossible if several of these beings tried simultaneously!

As soon as they began to follow Minos' plans, the space stability of Emperor Stuart's Soul Avatar domain immediately diminished.

Minos continued using his techniques in conjunction with the Dark Sea controlled men, trying to cause as much trouble as possible while his opponents were unable to stop him.

The enemies would certainly target these people when they were being disturbed, so he couldn't take it lightly.

So he fused two of his techniques together, unleashing the Shaking Reality against those stronger opponents.

"Damn it! How many fusions can he do?" One of the mercenaries asked while making a terrible expression, trying to endure that terrible feeling.

"Many!" Starclaw shouted. 

'The Chosen One's techniques were meant to be fused, so he can fuse them all!' Fermo thought to himself as he supported the group of the strongest ones there.

Phoenix Scream!

He opened his beak in his bestial form, releasing a special shrill sound, his innate ability coming from his bestial ancestor, the phoenix!

Immediately after his shout, some of the stronger men in his group felt a slight decrease in the terrible effects of Minos' fusion.

Other beings were also acting in the surroundings to support them, so by adding all these defensive and offensive moves favorable to them, each new gesture helped them more.

Suffering less from Minos' fusion, some Sages soon continued their spatial movements, creating distortions in their surroundings that would make it difficult for his techniques to pass through those spaces.

Meanwhile, others were pressing into the spaces around Minos, trying to trap him in his position.

The space fabric was not simple. If a region of space were pressed too hard, it would 'sink,' making it more difficult for anything in that spot to move in other directions.

In a sense, this was how Minos' black hole worked.

But unlike his black hole, something he had control over to some extent, Minos had no control over what these Spiritual Sages were trying to do against him.

As they manipulated the space around him, it became more difficult for him to move and even activate his techniques.

Sensing this, Minos smiled, for this was just what his men needed to do against the low-level Demigods of the Longus family.

"All right, that's what I was talking about!" He shouted in a satisfied manner. "If you do that against the damned Demigods of the enemy group, you will greatly help me!

However, you will have me on your side! That will be much more effective against them!" 

As they heard Minos shouting, these men watched him intently as they pressed him more and more effectively so that his techniques were slowly fading away.

But even though he was approaching defeat for the first time in a long time, Minos was not in a bad way. On the contrary, he was showing immense pleasure to these people.

Some even found this strange, for this combat was by no means simple, and a small mistake on their part could cause him serious injury.

However, while they were still pressing him, Minos opened his arms and closed his eyes, smiling as the space in front of him broke up, and a region devoid of light appeared in front of him.

When the black hole appeared, all that space pressure on him vanished as if it were nothing, and each of the Spiritual Sages pressing him felt an immense shock as their actions were suddenly broken.

"Our training ends here," Minos said as he was free again, and his level began to return to normal.

Unfortunately, he couldn't stay at level 82 for long using so many high-level fusions and blows simultaneously. If it weren't for that, maybe he could fight for longer.

But that had been enough. In part, this was for his men to understand what they had to do in the face of a being capable of eliminating them.

However, this was also a necessary demonstration of power for him to gain the trust of the mercenaries and make them follow his plan to the letter.

Upon seeing the black hole, everyone there understood that Minos was well-prepared to confront Demigods, and even though he had little time to act, he could neutralize several of them if he had the support of this group.

After feeling the shock of having their powers swallowed up by Minos' black hole, one of the women in the group said aloud. "So that was why... You actually are an abomination, Your Majesty.

I didn't think someone at your level could do such things!"

"Hmm, that was really an eye-opener. One can never underestimate the unknown!"

Other people commented, and even someone more concerned about the future battle asked Minos. "Your Majesty, is that what you did in finishing the battle your best thing?"

"No. I have two other moves stronger than that one." Minos said, surprising even Starclaw.

'Two? Wasn't it just one?' She looked at him in doubt but didn't question him.

Minos probably had his plans, so she kept her doubts to herself.

"Two moves stronger than that? Is that really possible?" One of the mercenaries asked in amazement. "That fusion is already extremely impressive..."

"Hmm, I intend to use one of them in battle against our enemies, so you will understand what I am talking about." He said before landing on the ground and quickly grabbing some fruit from his spatial ring, extremely exhausted from this training.

The others in the surrounding area also returned to the ground, several drinking potions or ingesting pills to regain their energy.

"What do we do now?" Starclaw asked.

"Cultivate, regain your energy, and prepare for death," Minos said seriously. "We have our chances, but we will face Demigods. So those willing to continue on this path, be prepared for the worst."

The mercenaries heard that and looked at their group partners, with all of them concluding that it was worth continuing with Minos.

He was powerful, and the chances of most of them surviving alongside Minos were not so small. The 500,000 crystals were definitely worth the risk!

Soon everyone there would concentrate on doing what Minos had said, recovering their fighting condition and preparing for the battle of their lives.

The next day they would leave for the headquarters of the Longus family, which was only a few days away from this position!
