The Rise of the Black Plain

Two days after his deal with Emperor Quinn, a level 95 Demigod from Veora arrived in the capital of the Western Empire with information for Minos.

After receiving information about the level 95 man who had recently spoken to him in Veora and refused to receive the seal of Minos, the emperor could not stand idly by.

From all indications, such a person had ties to the terrorist leaders that the entire Spiritual World was searching for!

Upon receiving this information in the middle of the afternoon, Minos ignored his local engagements and left without saying goodbye to his new allies.

Following the lead of the level 95 Demigod, who was handling the matter for him, Minos would soon be flying through the vacuum of space to the final location of their target.

...

Two hours after leaving the capital of the Western Empire...

Minos was standing next to Ryan, the level 95 Demigod he had defeated in Veora, who had investigated the strange man days ago.

After only two hours of flying, they had crossed the continent and were now in Blackrock, where Minos' destination was.

Upon arrival, Minos asked. "Did he really meet with terrorists? How do you know for sure?"

"I followed him all the way after he left the royal palace earlier, Your Majesty. I saw him meet with several groups that I asked other people to keep an eye on.

Of those groups, two were involved in terrorist attacks. One acted in the Flaming Empire, and the other dared to attack the Black Plain Empire by acting in the Veora region."

"So he really has a connection to terrorists," Minos muttered. "Did you have someone keep an eye on him to come to get me?"

"Yes, when our target stopped to meditate, I had someone cover for me by watching him while I went to warn you." He said as he slowed down, his aura already hidden by the proximity of where they were to their target's position.

Arriving there a few moments later, Minos spotted the man he had spoken to a few days ago in Veora, sitting in a meditation position in the middle of a forest.

Near that heavenly place in Blackrock, he met the temporary observer of that man whom Ryan had allowed to stay there temporarily.

This observer said. 'Your Majesty, Ryan... He's been meditating since I arrived. He hasn't moved until now, and there's no one around except us.'

Minos then ordered, 'Stay with us. Let's follow this person and see where he takes us. If he goes to meet more powerful Demigods, there's a good chance he'll lead us to the terrorist group's leadership.

Minos didn't know if this level 95 person was the leader of the terrorists or an important member of this mysterious group of profiteers. He didn't want to risk taking action against such a person and losing possible accomplices or superiors.

Veora's two level 95 Demigods accepted Minos' orders and stayed with him while they hid in hard-to-detect areas of space.

If Minos were the one meditating under such observation, he would easily notice the people hiding in space near him. But this man didn't have the characteristics of this emperor. As far as he was concerned, he was quietly meditating in an area where there were no people powerful enough to endanger him.

Even after two hours of being watched by those three, the level 95 terrorist would not have noticed their presence.

When he came out of his meditative state and looked around, he didn't suspect he was being watched.

"Time for me to go back..." He muttered as he looked to the northeast, attracting Minos' attention.

'Let's follow him. He seems to be going somewhere important.'

When the man left, the three of them moved as cautiously as possible, heading in the same direction as the man who was heading for the East Sea.

Nowadays, it is safe to fly across the seas or even use wormholes in oceanic regions. After the terrible news about the future of the Spiritual World was spread, practically all of the beings in that world focused on preparing for the future or living out their last moments of freedom or life.

Thus, conflicts worldwide, especially in the oceans, became less frequent, and tribes from all over the oceans no longer viewed flight or space manipulation over their territories negatively.

The speed of movement of high-level people was something that could greatly affect the spiritual development of the forces of this world before the war, so no one wanted to hinder the movement of experts.

So that man flew at high speed toward the island where his group was based, not using wormholes so as not to leave tracks that would be easier to read.

Little did he know that an enemy was already following him there!

...

A few hours after leaving Balckrock, the level 95 Demigod finally spotted the terrorist headquarters island where most of his companions were.

The terrorists' situation has deteriorated greatly in recent months. However, the group was still making a lot of crystals from their operations.

Their main partners wanted to continue for a few more months when everyone accepted that it was time for them to stop and enjoy the fruits they had planted.

But they were still operating, and this island had several ships stationed around it, with more than a thousand people working there.

When Minos and his two men realized what this place was, they soon felt the presence of 8 strong Demigods, counting the man they had followed to this place.

'He really had a good reason for not wanting to make a deal with me.' Minos laughed when he saw what that man would have had to say if they had made a deal with each other.

The strongest was a Demigod at the beginning of level 97, while there were people at levels 95, 94, and 93.

There were no weaker or stronger Demigods than that, and all the rest were Sages, individuals who bore the marks of slavery, something Minos and his men could easily notice.

The two level 95 Demigods looked at Minos, not knowing what to do since the power of their opponents was not insignificant.

But before he could even open his mouth to answer his men's questions, Minos stopped manipulating the space around him, appeared above the island, and stopped hiding.

'Shit! We're going to have to fight!' One of them commented in the other's mind, seeing that Minos wasn't intimidated by so many opponents, one of whom was a fucking level 97 Demigod!
