The Rise of the Black Plain

While Minos led a large group of spectators onto the battlefield, Ruth had arrived at the southern tip of the continent.

She hadn't arrived on the battlefield where a clash of Gods was taking place, but on the territory of the aliens from Irpoll.

She arrived at a place between the former Flaming Empire, the Flowers Kingdom, and the Evergreen Empire. The absence of spirit world creatures and the presence of some alien apes caught her eye.

In an area where there should have been a few cities and at least two dozen beast tribes, there were almost no living creatures, except for the 40 invading Demigods she noticed nearby.

'It looks like the enemies have taken the area over,' she thought to herself as she approached the strongest beings there, level 95 and 96 Demigods.

The strongest of the Irpoll forces were currently expanding the borders of their territory in the Central Continent against the allied forces of the Eastern Empire and the Black Plain Empire.

As soon as she moved, the nearby apes noticed a powerful enemy and panicked, sensing the enemy had hidden a new expert to fight them!

"Shit! A new God!"

"Fuck! This woman's aura is even stronger than Callie's!"

The apes despaired as they tried to flee the area without attempting to confront Ruth, knowing that death awaited them if they tried to fight someone of her stature.

Ruth let out a long, powerful "humph!" to these creatures as she used her ancient techniques to keep them from running away.

With a single move, they were all at the mercy of her judgment, with their lives in her hands!

Ruth asked no questions. In her current position, she could simply kill her way through without worrying about any secret information these creatures might have.

...

While Ruth exterminated the creatures in her path and cleaned up the areas of the former Flowers Kingdom, the Evergreen Empire, and the Flaming Empire, her two allies were in a similar situation as she was.

Since one of them had gone to the Divine Continent and the other to the Beast Continent, the two had arrived in the areas now controlled by the Irpoll apes. When they arrived on these continents, they confronted the situation that Ruth had seen: the extreme absence of living beings on these previously densely populated continents, while a few apes occupied sizeable areas of the continents.

Sensing that there was no enemy God nearby for them to contend with, the two Level 102 Sovereigns killed the aliens closest to them, thus beginning the purification of these two continents.

But unlike Ruth's situation, which was in a place that had not yet been developed by the Irpoll aliens, the continents that these two targeted had already been developed by the invaders for months or years.

On the Divine Continent, there were currently 70,000 aliens, while on the Continent of Beasts, that alien race had advanced their plans even further, as the area was more compatible with them, having reached the level of 130,000 aliens.

The numbers bothered neither of them. They just began the mission Minos had set out, killing everything and everyone they could reach.

The alien leaders did not know what was going on, but while they were fighting for new lands in the Central Continent, their forces were being wiped out by Minos' Sovereign allies!

...

In an area between the former Flaming Empire, Sista and Mairin, a major battle was developing.

Callie, Vico, and Aurae were out there fighting the three level 100 apes, while tens of thousands of beings on both sides of the conflict were fighting on the ground, some trying to protect their territory from the enemy's advance, others trying to expand their lands.

Callie, Vico, and Aurae didn't feel that they were in danger of their lives, but none of the three felt they had the slightest chance of defeating the stronger enemies.

Amid this, the three apes couldn't help but appreciate their performance, which was improving with each battle, exposing more and more weaknesses in the trio of Spiritual World leaders.

"You should give up," said the strongest of the apes as he traded blows with Callie. "Someone like you won't be able to change the situation in this world, but it would be a waste for you to die."

"Tsk! Do you think you can buy me?" she asked angrily.

"I'm not trying to buy you. I don't need you or your companions on my side, Callie." The ape laughed. "Just give up. Take a spaceship and get out of the Spiritual World. This planet is already ours. Take it once and for all and don't waste your cultivation."

Those were tempting words, but neither Callie, Vico, nor Aurae would be swayed by such a suggestion.

Considering everything that had happened so far, the chance that these apes would not attack them to death during an escape from this world was practically zero!

Even if they agreed they had nothing left to fight for, they honestly didn't see how they could survive an escape from the Spiritual World.

The only place they could escape to was The Adamant Land. But Irpoll dominated that place, possibly with even more Gods in such a planet.

Going there would be like choosing to enter a monster's lair!

As such, none of the three let themselves be taken in by their enemies' attempts, while hundreds of beings on both sides of the battlefield died in today's confrontation.

As Irpoll was on his way to another victory over the forces of the Spiritual World, a space rift the size of a normal human house appeared not far away, showing human reinforcements.

The apes saw it and weren't surprised, but the members of the Central Continent's allied forces couldn't help but wonder what it was. No reinforcements were supposed to arrive there, because they didn't have enough strength to ask for reinforcements!

The situation on the continent was so sad that in two more battles, they wouldn't have any warriors left to prevent Irpoll's troops from advancing against their territories!

Vico, Aurae and Callie turned their attention to that crack, from which Minos and many spectators would arrive seconds after it appeared.

The appearance of Minos shocked the three Gods of the Spiritual World, while the alien apes didn't understand what was happening.

'Who is that?' One of the Irpoll Gods realized Minos was the strongest of the newly arrived group.

As soon as he felt the situation, Minos changed his earlier good mood and recognized the trail of the enemy slaughter.

"The audacity of your race knows no bounds. It looks like I'll really have to wipe you out until there's nothing left." With a snap of his fingers, his wings opened, revealing the glow of this weapon, but also the powers of Emperor Stuart.

As if he had become the master of the Spiritual World, dozens of Black Lightnings appeared in the area, heading toward each of the Demigods massacring the native forces.
