The Rise of the Black Plain

2372 The End of Irpoll

Within days of the arrival of Minos' group on Irpoll, the entire planet understood the slaughter being caused by his group, with the peaceful world becoming a home of death and destruction.

In just over a week, Minos' group made the civilization of Irpoll understand the scourge of war, feeling in their hearts what billions of living beings in the Spiritual World felt before being killed by the apes invading their planet.

The natives of Irpoll felt in an even worse situation, having no chance of fighting the three Sovereigns and the powerful Emperor Stuart.

The four who had cultivated for decades on Zocarro killed their way through without giving their enemies a chance, leading to the almost total destruction of the planet's druidic civilization in just over a week!

The level 103 robot and the Sovereign, who had been journeying through this world alongside Vico, had completed their rampage and were now making their way back to where they had initially landed.

Ruth was exterminating her last opponents to the east of the planet, being the laggard of the group, given her lower destructive power. Even so, she would be finished in another day at most.

Minos was currently facing the last tribe in his path, having purposely stayed north of Irpoll, where the strongest living beings on the planet were.

...

In a ruined forest in northern Irpoll, there was a formerly glorious place where the sky was usually colored by the area's many rainbows, caused by the area's flying river and the drops produced by the leaves of the giant trees.

Today, however, the sky was dark gray, while beautiful, grandiose trees, home to many local creatures, were lying on the ground, some of them on fire, others cut in different ways.

Blood from different creatures marked the wreckage in this area, where several pieces of the corpses of immense beings could also be seen over an area of over 30 square kilometers.

Amid this, the energy of the area was agitated, totally different from usual, with a mark of terror going on for the last survivors of that tribe under attack by Minos.

Abby and Gloria were watching in silence as Minos brutalized his enemies, sometimes using his powerful body to destroy his adversaries, sometimes using the Dark Sea to make those creatures slaughter themselves.

He didn't use most of his skills in this place. He simply massacred his enemies or made those creatures massacre themselves, using only their bodies to fight in the area.

In just one hour of battle, the place that contained a few tens of thousands of beings fearful of the aliens who had invaded their world had changed with the death of over 80% of them.

Amid this, one of the Gods there, immobilized by Minos and forced to watch the end of his people, couldn't help but scream in terror, begging the enemy to stop his cruel act and end their miserable lives soon.

"Stop! Please, just kill us! Don't force us like this!" shouted the level 100 creature, as tears of blood flowed from its eyes.

Minos looked at this creature for a moment, seeing this ape really meant what it said. But that changed nothing for him. How many in his world had not been driven to despair by Irpoll's troops?

Minos closed his eyes and said. "I take no pleasure in killing, old ape. I've always preferred peaceful actions throughout my life. But from an early age, I understood that greed can only be stopped by true terror. Today, your race isn't just paying for invading my world and massacring billions of my natives. Today you are the example to the universe of what happens to those who defy us."

Minos opened his eyes and muttered. "I sincerely hope that I won't have to massacre civilizations again. But if I have to, I'll force my future enemies to feel what you're feeling now!"

The ape saw the determination in Minos' eyes, who really didn't take pleasure in killing, but had long since become accustomed to brutal methods to force his dominance and ward off enemies.

Soon the Spiritual World would learn about yet another massacre led by him, but civilizations from other galaxies would also understand that someone brutal was behind that world.

Minos hoped his world would not have to encounter civilizations other than those he would master on this current journey. But if it did, he would prefer these foreign civilizations had some way of knowing his home world was not simple.

He brought the massacre in northern Irpoll to a close, killing the level 100 great ape after every living thing in the area had died.

With the death of the level 100 great ape, Abby and Gloria felt the protections generated by Minos disappearing, and moved towards him.

"Let's collect whatever's valuable in this place. Some of it will help our forces in the Spiritual World and the empire's subsequent universal expansion, but it could also help us pay for our trip to Zocarro," Minos said as he collected the remnants of value in that devastated area.

The two agreed, going back to doing what they had done most since arriving on this previously beautiful planet, now ravaged by destruction.

Their action would only take a few minutes, until he would take them in his arms to search the area north of Irpoll, looking for survivors that they might have overlooked unintentionally.

...

The next day, Minos and his wives were already back on the group's spaceship when Ruth appeared on the horizon, signaling the end of their mission.

Like everyone else, she had exterminated the opponents, collected what was valuable, things above the Saint-grade, and then searched the area under her responsibility for survivors.

In just over a few hours of scouring her area, she confirmed that she had left no survivors behind and returned to where the rest of the group was already waiting for her.

"It looks like I made you wait," she commented with a smile on her face, seeing her group camped around their spaceship.

"We finished 11 hours ago," Abby said to her harem sister.

"Hmm, that's good. Anyway, I got a lot of old items from this world's civilization with historical accounts from Irpoll, but also some curious facts about their galaxy and what they knew about the universe," Ruth said as she looked at Minos, thinking it might be interesting for him to look at the materials she had got.

"There's an interesting account that talks about a supposed supreme being sent to observe. It sounds a lot like what you told me about the real seraphim, Minos."

"Oh?" he opened his mouth in surprise, not expecting to hear something like this from Irpoll.

"Very well. I'll study these materials while we return to Irpoll. Now, let's go. We have a long journey ahead of us to destroy the wormhole," he said as he stood up, defining the group's departure after their quick passage through this planet.
