The Rise of the Black Plain

Upon hearing Minos' words, the people there felt the weight of his words, feeling less worse for putting the fate of an entire family at risk because of the crime of a few.

The Vogel family was many times more powerful than House Stuart and, as far as anyone there knew, had never interacted with the Black Plain's royal family. Thus, there was no apparent reason for action by one side against the other.

And thinking about how Spiritual Saints had been sent to threaten a place where the majority were just Spiritual Kings, many of the Church group even felt that the current action was not at all unfair.

It was not necessarily justice being done since there was no such thing. But the Vogel family's situation in this instant was not undeserved!

As for the royal guards there, they could not help but internally regret that they were facing all this trouble over something as small as the Black Plain.

The queen understood Minos' words and could no longer say anything against this fellow, feeling anger at him but also at the rat that had run away after causing all this mess.

'Damn Abe!'

'If we survive today, you will no longer be my son, and if I find you...' She clenched her fists, full of hatred in her heart.

King Vogel realized that the Church group was on Minos' side, even those old guys who got along so well with him and received resources from his family.

So he stepped forward and asked. "Very well, I see you are determined to follow this path of no return..."

He and his wife were not refusing anything since it was pointless to do so at this point. They were clearly in the middle of an escape, while it was enough for Minos to identify those who attacked his group to justify forceful action by the Church.

Hence, at this point, trying to play innocent was already useless, and the king could only worry about buying time.

"So what will they do now? Are you going to execute us here and now without any judgment? Are you  usurping power in my state?" He asked, speaking loud enough for people in the streets to hear him.

'If you are going to overthrow me, I will at least plant a seed of doubt in the hearts of my citizens!'

She then replied. "Of course, we won't execute you now. Surrender, and we'll put you in custody until the people responsible for investigating and judging your crimes do their job."

"Humph!"

"Don't you want us to hand our heads over to you on a silver platter as well?" The queen asked, feeling that woman was crazy if she thought they would surrender to their death.

Who would choose such a thing? Even if the enemy were a God, it would be better to die fighting or trying to escape than to wait for the act of the superior being!

As such, both she and her husband took their weapons and pointed them in the direction of those people.

"If you want to take us down, Clarissa, you will have to do it the hard way!" King Vogel shouted in determination. "We will never surrender or accept our downfall for something so small!"

"Men, with me!"

"Fight for your lives! Fight for your families, for the Church will not spare even the children in our homes!" He shouted in determination as he began to float in the air, ready to attack the enemy group.

Clarisse and the Spiritual Saints of the Church in this state grew more serious as they saw and heard King Vogel, also preparing to begin the fight in this place.

Their goal was not extermination, but still, given the enemy's strength, they would have to seriously fight if they wanted to keep these people to pay for the offenses committed by their organization!

"Get ready..." She shouted, causing her voice to reach the Spiritual Emperors on the outskirts of the palace as well. "Do not hesitate when fighting against these people. They are not friends but opponents who have stabbed us when we least expected it!"

With that, the two sides in this place looked at each other for one last time until they began to move against each other, ready to fight for their goals.

Meanwhile, Minos had no desire to participate in this battle and began to fly upwards, intending to leave the area through the skies.

Some individuals noticed this and tried to act against him since he was not only part of the Church group but also responsible for this situation.

"Ah, die, you damned devil!" Dozens of royal guards began to charge toward Minos.

But as they did so, not only the group of Church Spiritual Saints shouted, but also the high-ranking members of the Vogel family. "No!"

"Stop those idiots!"

"Let him go!" King Vogel shouted to the surprise of the vast majority in his group. "We will deal with that person another day!"

All the high-level individuals in that place knew how dangerous the mirror sphere in one of Minos' hands was. So none of them wanted to test the power of that thing by endangering that young man's life or even trying to keep him in place. On the contrary, each of them sighed in relief when they saw that Minos intended to flee with that mass destruction weapon!

Minos was the one they hated the most, but this man could endanger the lives of every person there. But, on the other hand, the Church group was something they could take on and buy time for their weaker descendants to escape.

Thus, soon some of them prevented the attacks of their weaker allies from holding Minos on the battlefield, allowing this Spiritual Emperor to escape.

"Sigh..."

'These people are sensible...' He sighed as he looked back and saw the battle raging on the outskirts of the royal palace.

Several soul avatars appeared in that place, causing giant, colorful creatures to start fighting in the skies as if they were gods battling.

Each movement of the soul techniques of these experts generated great movements of spiritual energies in different forms there. That turned that area into a true center of spiritual pressure, where those below level 60 would faint if they got too close.

And with that, sounds of explosions and magnificent visual effects appeared in the skies of Vogel's capital in the blink of an eye as Minos flew eastward in a hurry.

He did not think he would be pursued, but that was not impossible to happen either. Hence, he was careful in his escape as he headed for where he had left Maida and Kyla.

The two were not in the Spatial Kingdom but a park for beasts, a place made for beings like those two companions of Minos.

Since everyone was preoccupied with the conflict of unbelievable proportions in that city, no one even noticed when Minos flew out of there with a giant fox on his back, next to a black tigress.

"Big brother, where are we going?" Kyla asked.

"We are leaving. Time to continue our journey to the Flaming Empire." He replied as he pulled Kyla's fur from his eyes with one hand and held the Black Hole Bomb with the other.

"What about Abby? What about the others?"

"When we get to a safe place, I will bring them back from the Spatial Kingdom."

"And our local affairs?"

He replied. "Everything that could be done here has been done. Now let's allow the Church to deal with the rest!"

In this way, in a short time, their group soon left that city behind, missing the great battle that would soon shock the entire continent!
