The Rise of the Black Plain

Sensing different auras of Demigods arriving at that place, the members of Minos' group looked at the sky in different directions and observed elves, dragons, phoenixes, sky whales, sea folk, and humans arriving.

When they arrived, these individuals noticed Minos' group and some of the things the aliens had left behind. Still, most of them focused on Vico Travisani.

"Your Majesty!" One of the men from the Eastern Empire shouted as he approached their leader, his eyes shining as he sensed that Vico had reached the legendary level 100.

Several other experts looked at Vico, some with respect, others with apprehension, knowing they would have to follow this man's rules in his presence.

Even the proud level 97 sky whale there, who would normally be quite confident against level 99 humans, lowered his head when he recognized Vico's figure.

Julian saw how close Vico was to Minos and approached his young ally. "Your Majesty Travisani, congratulations on reaching level 100. By the way, thank you for destroying the enemy defenses and allowing us to enter the North Sea."

"Julian, huh? Don't thank me. I did it for my own reasons." 

Experts of the highest level knew each other. Although they were from different continents, Julian and Vico knew each other by name.

While looking at Vico, Julian asked Minos in his mind. 'Are you all right? Didn't he threaten you?'

'It seems that Senior Travisani has other plans in mind. He seems to be as worried about the enemy as I am.' Minos answered Julian without showing he was talking to the man who greeted Vico.

On the other hand, Minos waved to several acquaintances who had just arrived and heard many comments congratulating Vico and thanking him for his initiative.

As the one who had risked coming to this place, Minos had opened the eyes of the forces of the entire Spiritual World to the external enemy.

"So, Minos, what exactly have you discovered so far? What do these enemies trying to invade the Spiritual World look like?"

After a few moments of chatting among themselves on the volcano summit, the newcomers heard some of the comments from the people in Minos' group about the enemies and how they wanted to invade their world.

Soon, someone asked the question.

Minos answered. "First, we know that the enemies are not individually strong. Their fighting skills, to be honest, are mediocre. However, their technology and intelligence are top-notch.

They can create armor that gives them combat abilities several levels above their own cultivation." He said as he pointed to one of the men in his group wearing such armor.

"On the other hand, they can build autonomous armor, what they call robots, which are basically artificial beings that can be created on a large scale. The ones we faced were level 94, 95, and 96 beings, but I'm sure they're capable of building stronger robots.

In addition to these robots, they have ships that are much faster and more practical than ours, with armaments that can threaten even level 99 Demigods.

They also have something called spaceships, a type of ship useful for traveling through space. As far as we know, our enemies are great space explorers, and we're not the first ones they've 'visited.'"

Everyone listened to Minos' words as they entered the enemy facility, all of them very serious about the current situation in the Spiritual World.

"So they are dominators who travel between worlds to dominate planets like ours?" An elf asked.

"Yes." Minos confirmed.

"So if that's true, it means that there are several worlds and life forms outside the Spiritual World that we don't know about." A phoenix said, pointing out the obvious, but which some of these men and women had not yet noticed.

"If that is the case, then the current enemies are not necessarily our only concerns. The universe could be full of civilizations equal to or stronger than the one we're about to face." An elf concluded, making everyone there even more worried.

If there were different civilizations and they had different levels, there was a great possibility that those behind the invasion of the Spiritual World were not the strongest. If that were the case, the chances that this planet would be visited by stronger and stronger beings in the future to take it over would not be small!

So not only did they have to worry about a potential war against those behind the current invasion, but also a war by the Mechanic Empire against others interested in the Spiritual World and the ramifications of it.

In short, they were in dire straits! Discovering the universal civilization amid their invasion, they were unprepared to deal with the level of problems the universe could hold!

"This is really worrying," Vico commented as he listened to the questions and comments of the Demigods observing this enemy base next to him.

Minos sighed. "Let's worry about what's in front of us first, guys. I know that what lies beyond the Spiritual World can be vast and frightening for us. But the most worrying thing right now is the beings behind the current invaders of our world. So we have to deal with them. 

To begin with, we must understand as much of the enemy's technology as possible and use it to strengthen ourselves. I've kept some of the aliens alive so we can interrogate them and learn more about them. That can help us understand exactly how much time we have and the true strength of the enemies we'll be facing.

Then, when the time comes, we'll fight those enemies. Whether or not there will be more enemies in the future, let's worry about that in the future. For now, let's try to deal with what we can control, form a world coalition, and prepare our forces for the arrival of the enemies.

Unfortunately, all of this will happen during the ice age, so we must also think about that".

These experts heard Minos' wise words and agreed with him. Since no one there was willing to give up their lives, they would have to fight the enemies with what they had. To do that, they only had to look at what was in front of them and put aside some worries.

Whether there would be more enemies in the future and whether they would be invincible was a problem for them to think about when they had no other choice!

So those individuals quickly agreed to do as Minos had suggested until they reached the production area of that alien facility where the robot bodies he wanted to present to those experts were located.

"Here's the kind of opponent I think we'll have the hardest time dealing with during the invasion..."
