The Rise of the Black Plain

The meteors created by Minos shot out from his surroundings in different directions, heading toward where most of those Spiritual Saints facing him were.

However, such an attack was so powerful that the moment it was launched, the Spiritual Saints who were watching the fight and some of the boldest Spiritual Emperors had to circulate their forces and protect themselves.

The meteors had been focused on the experts of the local noble families. But due to their speed and size, they would hardly not create several fragments that would scatter beyond the interest of Minos.

Since a fragment of it could already kill low-level Spiritual Saints, the spectators were frightened almost as much as the individuals there to face Minos.

But those last ones were the most desperate individuals!

'Shit!' The leader of the Guzman family saw one of those clusters of rocks coming in the direction where she and other experts were so fast that they could only wail and try to protect their bodies.

Each meteor launched by Minos was as giant as a 10-meter radius sphere. And they all flew at the speed of sound, a speed that none of those people could keep up with!

Because of this, in the blink of an eye, Minos' new 7th technique ability devastated the opponents in his surroundings, seriously injuring the bodies of more than 70 of them in this single movement of his.

Some had their bodies practically crushed because they were too weak to withstand the shock of it. But others, especially the local leaders hit, suffered trauma all over their fleshy bodies as their avatars disappeared.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Shouts spread through the area as only a little over 30 people remained to face Minos.

These people, who were already quite tired from having lost parts of their energy to him, were motionless without knowing what to do in this situation.

Of the 150 of them, more than 70% had fallen in less than 2 minutes of combat, but even so, all this loss was for nothing since Minos was in his best fighting condition!

So when he said what a powerful attack that was, those remaining people felt like giving up and not suffering unnecessarily.

Minos was much stronger than them, and there was no hope for this day. If he wanted to kill them, then they would all die.

Hell, the most powerful people there felt that even if all their Spiritual Saints were there, Minos would still not be defeated!

With that thought, those still conscious individuals could not help but sigh as they realized they would have no choice but to accept Minos as their supreme ruler.

That had only been a 'test' to show them they had much more to lose by standing against Minos than they thought. So quickly, the cleverest among the emperor's rivals gave up their pretensions against the empire.

Meanwhile, Minos' allies realized how right they were to take advantage of the opportunities given by the local sovereign.

'This is good. With His Majesty being so powerful, the safety of Vogel will be guaranteed, and our families will not be threatened by the risk of a civil war or being abused by the greater powers.' One ally thought as he looked toward the enemy leaders suffering on the outskirts.

Meanwhile, Minos looked at the remaining group of people and acted again to finish this 'training.'

Indestructible Body!

He used his defensive technique to strengthen his Soul Avatar while using the spiritual body of his soul projection to attack in the direction of his opponents.

Because Minos was so fast and those people were frozen in terror, he was soon beside them, kicking and punching at his opponents.

Minos' punches at this instant were so strong that they could knock out even level 79 Spiritual Saints with techniques similar to those people. So with just one blow to each of those people, he knocked them unconscious!

At this rate, in just 4 minutes of combat, all the Spiritual Saints who had stood against Minos in this 'test' fell unconscious on top of the Assembly building.

At this moment, when Minos came down from the altitude at which he was fighting, accompanied by the battle spectators, they came upon a devastated Vogel capital center.

Tens of thousands of inhabitants were in the streets, seeing the tops of several buildings and houses destroyed due to the technique, Chaotic Gravity.

At the same time, the bloodied bodies of local leaders were scattered around the outskirts, many of them on top of the Assembly, forming a war scene there.

Plumbing was visible in some destroyed streets, with water and sewage gushing into the surroundings.

Meanwhile, most of the people in the area were looking in the direction of Minos, noticing the one responsible for all the chaos in the central part of this city.

Minos saw this and said to the citizens in the area. "Citizens of Vogel, do not worry about local destruction. The empire government will repair all damage to the local infrastructure. As for the injured, report to the local Black Plain Army post. You will all be treated and rewarded for your suffering."

No one died since Minos' technique was not so strong as to attract pieces of buildings 5 kilometers away at high speed. So when the first buildings began to be damaged, the local inhabitants escaped almost unhurt.

Some had suffered a little more due to their own weakness but had not suffered severe damage to be at risk of death.

Minos could sense this with his soul sense and promptly made that promise that would be easy for his forces to fulfill.

He then looked at the local Spiritual Saints, unrelated to the noble families, and said. "My friends from Vogel, that was just an exercise to test the local defenses. Now that I have realized the vulnerabilities of this city, I will work with the Assembly to strengthen the defenses of the territory!"

Those people knew that Minos was not speaking so sincerely. However, they believed he would indeed care about strengthening the local defenses. But his purpose there was undeniable to correct the attitudes of the local leaders toward the imperial family and ensure his sovereignty over Vogel.

But no one would say anything about this out loud, and everyone soon began to show gestures of gratitude and appreciation for Minos' commitment to Vogel.

With that, as the Assembly representatives rescued the Spiritual Saints injured by Minos, some of the few individuals among them who were not doing so approached him in silence, seeing that he wanted to say something.

"Your Majesty?" The current president of this house said in a low voice.

Minos then spoke. "That was all I had to deal with you today. So I will leave now."

"Uh?" Those people were surprised at that.

"I hope to receive the situation of your elders regarding their positions after this exercise..." He suggestively said. "If they can't get into a good formation soon, they will have to suffer a lot in case some opponent of my level shows up to threaten them."

Gulp!

With those words, Minos set off in the direction of his army post, where he would continue his journey to Rosser!
