The Rise of the Black Plain

Once everyone arrived on the other side of Kendrick's portal, where Abby had told her son to take them, the group stood still for just ten seconds before moving.

Realizing where they had arrived and where they needed to go to reach this world's wormhole port, they quickly began flying in that direction.

"We won't make it to our destination. We have to get ready!" Ruth said as she looked at her fellow Armhands, pointing to the snake tattoos on their foreheads. "Prepare to sacrifice your parasites!"

The three level 106 humans and the robot immediately nodded in agreement, ready to raise their levels with the sacrifice as soon as they reached it.

The rest of the group already knew about this last trick of the Armhands, so they couldn't help but be solemn. Once these five used their Flashdrain parasite sacrifices, they would be weakened for a long time.

At that time, the group would be left with the strongest of them completely vulnerable, while the others would have to deal with all the problems that would come their way after that.

But even the other members of the team were not in the best shape. After using his power twice in a row, Kendrick was now completely exhausted, in a situation similar to that of Grisdi, whose cultivation had been sealed until a few moments ago.

The two were carried by Hollie and Lily as the group fled, signaling how bad their situation was.

Ruth said. "I will sacrifice my parasite last. Given my abilities, it's possible I can heal your wounds and make your sacrifice last longer."

"What about us?" Vico asked worriedly, his face as dark as night.

"You should prepare to carry us or protect us after we've used everything we have." Ruth considered the worst-case scenario, one in which even if they survived the two level 111 Sovereigns chasing them, they wouldn't have much time before other enemies caught up with them.

Everyone there swallowed their saliva in horror at the terrible situation in which they couldn't even count on the help of Abby's divine ability due to the agreement she had signed with the level 114 Sovereign a few days ago.

...

Simultaneously with the start of the escape and pursuit of Kendrick's group, Minos finally reached the decisive point of his journey, reaching the spatial distortion at the end of the tunnel he was in.

As he prepared for the place he was about to reach, he passed the distortion ahead of him, imagining that he would find a place similar to the one he and his allies had reached in The Enchanted Realm decades ago.

As soon as he reached the area, he left the distortion behind and came upon a military area in the middle of a large forest where he spotted dozens of natives.

Minos didn't try to speak. Noticing 35 mid-level and 5 high-level Sovereigns in this wormhole port, he chose a level 107 target to steal the cultivation from.

As soon as Minos appeared there and acted, the locals noticed the mark of The Enchanted Realm on his body, a sign that he was an enemy, even if he hadn't moved against the group at this border post.

Unfortunately for these forces, Minos had been thinking about the complicated situation his family must be in The Blossom World for several days. When he finally found himself in this world, he was not as 'friendly' as he had been to the aliens from The Enchanted Realm.

As soon as he felt that his cultivation had reached level 106, Minos moved against the strongest in the area, while his wings spread to the limit, casting a dazzling golden glow against the weakest in the area.

"Enemy!"

"Attack! Attack the enemy!"

The men there shouted as they moved against Minos, many of them activating their special abilities and targeting his vital points.

But when they tried to form energy-based attacks, all of them failed as the first one fell unconscious, blinded by the intense glow of Emperor Stuart's wings.

Meanwhile, Minos made a shower of blades appear below that area, and the strongest there looked at him in horror as they sensed either his mental power, the power of his Spatial Sword, or his divine ability and Chaotic Gravity.

In the blink of an eye, the ground in this outpost of the sovereign forces of The Blossom World cracked, and buildings flew into the air, while other areas turned into ruins, destroyed by Minos' blades.

The 35 natives between levels 105 and 109 died without understanding how, while Minos quickly caught up with the five individuals between levels 110 and 112.

"Who are you?" The only level 112 Sovereign in the area asked with a horrified look on his face, trying to defend himself against Minos, but finding it extremely difficult as an hourglass appeared and disappeared near his body.

"Kendrick Stuart's father, husband of Abby, Ruth and Gloria!" Minos replied with bloodlust in his voice, his gaze full of bloodlust.

"You will die for the simple mistake of provoking me." Minos added as three level 110 bodies fell to the ground, one slashed by the blades of the Spatial Sword, the other killed by the Infinite Dream, and the last fallen by Chaotic Gravity.

With only one level 111 and one level 112 left, these two felt the need to retreat or their lives would be ended right there!

Minos didn't seem to be interested in following them, so just as they were retreating, they saw Emperor Stuart use the Explosive Steps and fly out of the area towards the planet's interior.

The symbol of an hourglass appeared on Minos' forehead, while his eyes went completely white, and scenes from the future flashed through his mind.

'I found you!' He sensed the direction where he would meet the auras of his family members and didn't hesitate to head in that direction, flying without hiding his presence in this world.

The men left at the border post, now totally destroyed, immediately sent warning signals to their superiors, each of them terrified by what they had just seen.

"General, we have a problem. An enemy, supposedly Kendrick Stuart's father, has just invaded our planet! He has powers similar to those of level 113 cultivators, so send reinforcements immediately! We may have a machine of mass destruction in our world!"
