The Rise of the Black Plain

With Minos' confidence, his six companions moved forward, prepared to deal with the opponents. ",

As they flew quickly north again, it would take the seven of them 20 minutes to cross all the space between their previous position and where the 51 enemies spotted by the group's observer a few moments ago were.

As Minos' team approached their opponents, those 51 aliens, who, in fact, as Minos imagined, were there for them, prepared themselves for the fight about to take place.

"Minos Stuart is coming! Get ready!" shouted the overall leader of those aliens, an alliance of three groups that had come together to fight Minos' forces.

How did they know Minos' name and where they would be? It was because of a seer. Thirteen years ago, one of the most prominent members of one of the three groups forming this alliance had predicted his own death for Minos.

Aware of the formidable capabilities of such a rival, the seer had spent years getting ready to minimize potential dangers, teaming up with fellow aliens who were keen on removing the event's strongest competitors.

Like Minos, the leaders of the three groups knew that there were greater and lesser geniuses in the Millennium Massacre.

If the lesser-genius individuals didn't deal with the most favored enemies while they could unite to do so, eliminating the strongest opponents in the future would become extremely difficult, if not impossible.

Learning about Minos, the riches this competitor had surely already gained and how strong he was, the 51 individuals allied themselves to face the group of seven now in front of them.

Being aware of Minos' type of power and also the abilities of his companions, these 51 level 100 aliens were in a position to deal with Minos as best they could.

"Get ready! We have to get the first move right, or several of us could die!" Shouted another of the strongest there, while the group's defense specialists were at the front, with the attack specialists positioned and those who could provide support at the rear.

Minos narrowed his eyes as he saw those 51 enemies up close, sensing what they would do to attack him.

'A fight of seers can be really complicated. Unfortunately for you, I can steal your cultivation and kill you first. Minos looked in the direction of the man he had already realized was the main responsible for today's encounter.

When he was only 3 kilometers away from the enemies, he stopped in front of his group, looking at those competitors focused on him.

"Let me tell you this before we start. You've made a big mistake today. If you wanted to challenge me, you should have done it in another test." He said in a calm, commanding tone, speaking as if the fight was guaranteed for his group.

His companions swallowed their saliva, while keeping their guards up. They knew what they had to do, but they couldn't have the same confidence as Minos.

"Noo!"

Suddenly, the main seer of the group of 51 aliens sensed something and shouted.

In that instant, Minos disappeared from where he was, reappearing in the middle of the enemy group, next to the body of the golden-skinned seer.

Minos' golden hourglass appeared around his body, while one of his hands advanced against the enemy seer's neck.

As he did so, Minos stole his opponent's cultivation, seeing the seer narrowly dodge, but unable to prevent his cultivation from being stolen.

Minos' level rose to the beginning of level 102, as the enemies attacked him vigorously, already expecting him to act more or less like that at the start of the fight.

They just didn't expect Minos to be so fast that he could outrun them all and reach the seer's body before their attacks hit him.

"In your next life, run away instead of going straight at the monster in your path," Minos muttered as the corpse of that golden-skinned being fell to the ground, its head severed.

Minos then opened his hands, making 12 hourglasses appear around the bodies of the strongest men in the vicinity, manipulating time so that they moved more slowly.

Simultaneously, he helped all six of his companions become one level stronger each, while six opponents lost one level of power each.

"Kill the wretch!"

Those unaffected by Minos' initial actions shouted as they attacked in his direction, 12 of them turning on the six enemies momentarily at level 101, and all the others focusing on the young man at level 102.

Minos did not forgive his enemies. They wanted to exhaust him and his group by imposing ranged combat to force them to use their energy and return to their normal levels.

It was an excellent strategy if they could really pin him down in his position, as the 12 enemies of his allies would be able to do in the next few seconds. However, being at level 102, Minos was a monster, even compared to the greatest geniuses in the universe.

There were one or two out there who could provide him with good competitive combat experience. By trapping them in a time trap capable of reducing their speed, Minos practically crippled the enemy group.

He moved first against the 12 individuals trapped in his time trap, attacking the strongest first, using his bare hands to brutalize his opponents, lopping off heads or destroying their hearts.

His punches and blows were so powerful that they could destroy his opponents' souls at the same time as destroying their body parts.

Already in the first 30 seconds of combat, Minos killed 13 enemies, leaving his companions to entertain 12 competitors, while 6 enemies retreated after losing a level each.

With 20 opponents attacking him or trying to suppress him with mental blows, spiritual suppression, or even defend their allies, Minos moved like an animal towards the Sovereigns with defensive skills to test his fists.

Punching a man with a large shield in front of a group of five individuals who were attacking him from a distance, Minos made the entire battlefield tremble. At the same time, powerful winds formed in the surroundings.

The enemy's shield cracked into many pieces, withstanding Minos' movement for an impressive 2 seconds. But that alien didn't last long, and soon coughed up blood as he wobbled backwards.

"That would be a good defense if I couldn't steal your cultivation." Minos complimented before somersaulting into the air and then kicking the alien in the head, killing the man in two noteworthy moves.
