The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 1655 Mysterious Gift

?

Immediately after he thought of that, the pyramid below him suddenly seemed to melt, and a dark hole appeared below Minos.

A second later, he appeared in a place that was still being built but seemed to be the top of a tower, from where he felt he could see the whole world.

But this world seemed different from the one he knew, with at least 99 times stronger gravity, strange phenomena in the skies, and beings of species he had never seen or heard of.

The surroundings finished building up, and he saw a man not much bigger than him, facing away from him, appear as if he were a shadow coming out of the darkness.

"Indeed, what you call the Spiritual World had once been my home, a small fraction of Panvuter. Unfortunately, what once was is lost forever." That person said in a melancholy tone. "I am sorry, child. The 101 races have destroyed this great world."

'101 races?'

"Indeed." He said, surprising Minos. "The 101 races were those chosen by the heavens to lead Panvuter. There were many others at that time, but they were merely mortal. They did not resemble us.

As for the name of the races, we don't have one. We only designate those of the same lineage by the strength of their heritage. The strongest race was number 1, and the weakest was 101.

I belong to race 99, but even members of race 101 were already born with the power of what you call Spiritual Saint."

Gulp!

'It can't be!'

"It can. You've clearly already encountered the remnants of some of us, no?" He said, reading Minos' mind once more. "The ones you found were among the weakest. Only they managed to leave behind remnants of the Interracial War and the Great Devastation.

The members of the first ten races were responsible for destroying 40% of Panvuter. Because of them, the Great Devastation began, and the bodies of the strongest disappeared from the universe."

'Is he reading my mind?" Minos wondered, having never heard of anyone with such an ability.

"I am."

Minos continued to look at him, this time with nothing on his mind, impressing. "What are you? How can you do this?"

"I am just something left behind, my descendant. Unlike those you encountered, I still have my body and flesh in one piece...

Luckily my mortal followers did not fail to fulfill their mission." He closed his eyes, still facing Minos.

"But I am dead. We all are. What you are seeing can only be considered an interactive memory. I can no longer do anything against you, so don't worry.

In any case, now that I have seen you, I can disappear in tranquility. My race is not completely gone." He said, feeling the chaotic energy in Minos' body, something this young human had stolen from the giant bones in the Spatial Kingdom.

"What? What's the meaning of all this? What's with this island?" Minos asked as he saw the surroundings beginning to disappear.

"That's nothing but a big graveyard... Sigh, my time is short. I hope you get out of th..." 

Then that silhouette disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. Minos watched the surroundings change at the speed of light, soon finding himself on top of that transparent pyramid.

"What did he mean?" Minos had a strange expression on his face, with more questions than a few moments ago.

'If Panvuter gave rise to the Spiritual World, what happened to the rest of that world? Was it annihilated? And what did he mean by the weakest of them being born at level 70? Does that mean they were stronger than Gods?'

Gulp!

As these questions appeared in Minos' mind, that pyramid crumbled, revealing the giant mummy there.

When he finally had access to said mummy, Minos saw a letter on top of its forehead.

'Scion, I know that you will find me one day. I hope that at that time, you will be able to use the abilities you inherited from me, or you will not be able to connect to what I left behind.

In any case, try to use my corpse somehow. It will no longer be useful to me without Panvuter's life energy.

Finally, I leave you the mission to populate this new world with my descendants and maintain the legacy of Race 99.

I leave you the gift that is on my right wrist. It will help you if you attain what is necessary to activate it one day.

From Fah'um of Dunov, Supreme Elder Over Heaven.'

After reading this, Minos immediately looked towards the right wrist of that gigantic corpse, not taking long to find something that looked like a necklace.

That necklace had what looked like a golden sphere with a crystal-encrusted inside, which had two openings, both of which were too distorted for someone like Minos watching them.

Minos saw the thing that was a little bigger than him and tried to probe it. 

Unfortunately, in doing so, he felt nothing.

He then tried to move it and, with great difficulty, lifted it an inch off the ground.

He then thought of something and used one of his spatial rings.

'That's not so big, unlike this corpse. Then I'll send it into one of my high-level grade-4 spatial rings.' He used his spiritual energy to cover that item and connect it to the empty spatial ring he had on one of his fingers.

Then Minos could do what he wanted, storing that item in his spatial ring before turning his attention to that gigantic corpse.

'This corpse has at least four times as much power as those bones in the Spatial Kingdom combined!' He clenched his fists, wondering how beneficial it would be for him to have that corpse there.

Thinking about it, Minos stopped on top of what would be the belly of that corpse and placed his two hands on it, circulating his energies through it and the ring of the Spatial Kingdom.

Then the ground over that area began to crack, while the beings in the surroundings of that island felt as if something extraordinary was about to happen.

When the mummy disappeared from that ancient island, the barrier preventing water and other stronger beings from invading it disappeared.

In that instant, everyone waiting for the results of their weaker tribe members began to swim towards that place to clear it for themselves.

Minos saw the giant corpse below him disappear and saw a tunnel below where that body had been lying before.

Through there, he departed that tomb without further investigating that area after sensing the powerful beings approaching.

'I'll leave it to find out more about that in another situation!' He decided.
