The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 1356 Final Preparations

When they saw the black hole approaching them, the dozens of Spiritual Emperors in that camp did not understand at first what was happening.

They saw a dark dot flying towards them, while the space in the surroundings of such a thing seemed to distort with its passage. At the same time, the terrible feeling in their souls could not be ignored, and everyone there realized that they were facing a deadly situation.

Unfortunately for them, Minos had thrown the fusion of two of his techniques quite hard, causing this black dot to reach where most of these individuals were in a split second.

When this happened, no sound spread to the surroundings, but in the blink of an eye, the first individuals were sucked into such a thing, helping it become more 'bulky.'

As it devoured its first victims, the black hole developed by Minos quickly began to grow, increasing the range of its event horizon by meters in a few moments.

The black hole in question was indeed small, as Minos had put little power into it. But as it devoured the first individuals of levels 66, 67, and 68, the thing quickly grew 'fat,' creating an even more intense sucking force within itself.

When they noticed their first companions disappearing from the surroundings, the individuals in that place, almost all high-level Spiritual Emperors, tried to flee in desperation.

Unfortunately, that was the most extreme force in nature, something that, at the level they were at, they could not escape even if they wanted to.

The force of it was so extreme as to distort light and the fabric of spacetime. But, at the present moment, Minos was consciously manipulating such a region of space.

When he had to flee to the Spatial Kingdom, the black hole naturally followed what was expected of it. Just devour whatever entered its event horizon. But with Minos controlling it, that region of space went a bit further!

He could consciously make such a region of space move in any direction, focus its sucking action more significantly on one part of space and thus terrorize those opponents.

Because of this, the black hole that these desperate people were facing on the day in question was not simple, and within moments, everyone in that area was mercilessly devoured.

With that, the black hole in question grew quite large, devouring the crystal mines in that area and all the terrain that came in contact with its event horizon.

It transformed from something that could quickly devour mid-level Spiritual Emperors in the first moment into something that could do that to low-level Spiritual Saints after a few seconds.

Noting his achievements in this place, Minos quickly stored that thing in a medium-level grade-3 array and sighed.

'Job done...' He looked at the surroundings returning to normal after the disappearance of the black hole inside the mirrored sphere in one of his hands.

After looking at the surroundings, where there was now a strange crater showing the red soil of the area, Minos sat in a meditative position and began to cultivate.

The Black Hole Bomb naturally leaked fractions of the spiritual energy and Natural Laws absorbed by the black hole. Hence, since he had spent some of his energy without stealing it from anyone in the area, he promptly began to cultivate what was escaping such a thing to recover.

Only after this did he intend to make his journey back to Dry City!

...

The Eastern Empire's Spiritual Sage opened his eyes when he noticed that Minos had already finished. He could not help but once again be in awe because of that fusion.

'That is something phenomenal! I wonder where he got those two techniques capable of creating something so extreme?' He looked in Minos' direction, still without moving from his meditative position.

'Sigh...'

'It's a pity that he is only the son of people with ordinary talents. If only he had a Golden talent, he could be someone interesting for us to bring over to our side.' He lamented that someone with the talents one would expect to find in these areas was the one with these techniques in question.

Having a technique and being able to master it were different things. Not everyone achieved the ability to fuse techniques, even when they were compatible. So, even if other people could learn Minos' techniques, that would be no guarantee that others would be able to do his fusion.

Knowing this, this man could not help but regret that the person who had achieved this feat was from these areas of little talent, not someone from his state.

In a way, those possibilities of the fusion of Minos' two techniques would be wasted on someone like that young man!

Therefore, that man was lamenting and did not even have the interest to get up from where he was standing to try to approach the young Emperor Stuart.

...

After recovering, Minos did not waste his time and flew toward Dry City.

After a few hours moving around his empire, he arrived at his army's headquarters, where he retrieved the black hole he was nurturing without wasting any time.

After doing this, he went to a place where there were no people for tens of square kilometers and proceeded to make one black hole devour the other.

In this way, after a few minutes of a process that released vast amounts of spiritual energy into the ambient, Minos achieved a single black hole. This time, it could devour even a high-level Spiritual Saint!

After noting that counting the additional power such a thing would have inside a Black Hole Bomb, he could handle the threats to his life, Minos smiled in satisfaction.

'Very well, now I am prepared for the hard times these terrorists want to bring to my territory!' He clasped one of his hands around that mirrored item, mischievously smiling as he looked up at the sky.

With that done, he returned to his city, flying at high speed, feeling less nervous about the current moment.

Unlike when criminals from Albano were threatening the Black Plain, the current threat was the kind that even the Spiritual Church would have trouble stopping entirely. So Minos felt a much heavier weight on his shoulders since the people of this terrorist group were not moved by the rules of this organization or the danger that could be coming to this region.

So, having a little more power at his disposal to depend less on other powers made him that much better!

Minos might be the leader of Vogel and the future master of the Gray Clouds Sect. Still, the people behind that place or organization had their own problems.

It was up to him to resolve any issues related to the safety of his territory and family!

But while he was preparing for the worst, the enemy was also doing that, starting the preparations for their grand plan!

...

"We are getting close to our goal, so from here on, we will need to be twice as careful..." Abe told his people as they walked through an area of the old Brown Kingdom.

"Once we can get into the main part of the Black Plain, we will need to take action there and at our other points of interest!"
