The Rise of the Black Plain

"Minos, all your power is ours." Henricus Longus said as he stared thirstily at the brown-haired young man surrounded by him and the other beings on what looked like a floating island in the Spiritual World.

"It is time for you to return all we have lent you." The God of Death said as he licked his lips, a horrible sensation emanating from his being.

Fah'um of Dunov looked down at the body of the small being and said. "You are now in a world like Panvuter. It is time for me to take your body and return to life, Minos. These wings of the Ailuravens will show their true power at my command!"

Minos looked strangely at the beings who had brought him to this point in his journey as he felt their powerful auras.

"Oh, fuck!"

He realized that he would be screwed if he had to deal with all of them. But as he kept his guard up, waiting to do something, he couldn't help but understand what this test was all about.

'Is this some kind of debt I owe them?' He asked himself. 'In my subconscious, I feel like I've only gotten this far because of them?'

But as he thought for a moment, he changed his expression, gaining a little courage to face these beings, feeling that this was all absurdity.

'Nonsense! I'm certainly grateful for the opportunities they've given me, but I've worked hard to achieve my victories!

Even with the same opportunities I had, others in my place could have made many mistakes and ended up dying! If I'm so strong today, it's because I committed myself to becoming stronger, fighting the right battles, and thinking of the greater good!' He thought to himself because he couldn't believe he might owe these people some debt.

He had honored them in every possible way, respected them, and used their powers or abilities to the best of his ability.

The only one there who might have something to question him about was the God of Death, whose legacy he had destroyed and used part of it to strengthen his murderous intent, something that had given him the ability: Dark Sea.

'That is from the damn potions I was forced to take!' He clenched his fists as he looked at the creatures that were already moving to attack him.

The retracted wings on his back moved, and then he flew to dodge the attacks of these beings, who were at a completely different level than they were in life.

Fah'um of Dunov was much weaker than he should have been, while the God of Death was over level 100, something he hadn't reached in his life.

As he dodged the first attacks of these imaginary creatures, Minos shouted at them. "I won't allow these people's memories to be tainted by a damned illusion! If you want to test my mental strength, damn potion, use your real form!"

"Idiot! You think it's not really us?" The God of Death asked. "You will pay me back for destroying my inheritance because of the slut of the Goddess of Life, Minos!"

"We gave you everything, and now you have the potential to reach levels higher than ours... This can't go on, brat!" The figure of Henricus Longus shouted as he attacked Minos, using his innate ability to stop time in the area.

Minos frowned and said. "Knowing about my past doesn't make you any more real, potion. I know this isn't real. The damned members of the Armhands cause it!"

"Then deal with it, young human!" Said the seraph who had given Minos the weapon that had killed several Gods of the Mechanic Empire. It attacked him with its great seraphic wings.

Minos clenched his fists and moved his wings, facing the seraph head-on while directing his energy to the tattoo on one of his wrists.

"Your mistake is thinking I'm alone," Minos said as the part of the seraph that was in his tattoo awoke and quickly took shape beside him.

At the same time, Minos used the Dragon's Gaze evolution, causing a huge golden dragon to emerge from his body, while the rest of this being that had been watching this young man's journey awoke in such a fighting form.

"Oh? That seems to be a rather strange situation, young Minos." The dragon said when he saw himself in this place. "I didn't expect to meet so many historical personalities from our world. You really have come a long way."

"That is only an illusion." The seraph beside Minos commented upon seeing his representation in this place. "But I must admit, it does bother me a little."

This real seraph looked at the creature representing him and smiled negatively while a terrible aura emanated from his body.

"This test may be interesting for Minos' maturation, but don't you dare use it on me." With these words, the real seraph that had just appeared beside Minos destroyed the creature that resembled him with a mere glance.

He looked at Minos and said. "This is my help for today, but you must finish this test on your own. It will be good for you."

With these words, the serath disappeared as quickly as he had appeared next to him.

"Once again dependent on the powers of others, eh, Minos?" Henricus Longus said as he looked at the young man and moved towards him with a sword. "When will you learn that this is the way of the weak?"

"Tsk!" Minos clenched his fists in anger and moved toward the elder so quickly that the old man couldn't keep up.

"I'm sorry, elder, but I have to destroy this impostor!" Minos muttered to himself, aware that a true remnant of Henricus Longus existed within his body.

Meanwhile, the level 100 dragon began to fight its evil version inside this illusion.

Just as Minos was about to reach the neck of the false Henricus Longus and kill him, the false Fah'um of Dunov acted and charged Emperor Stuart with full force.

Seeing this, Minos changed his movement before making a huge wrist telescope appear on the spot.

Then, looking through the lens of the thing, he activated his mental ability, the only one besides his skills and the wings on his back that he felt he could count on.

Infinite Dream!

A bright beam of light shot out of Minos' eyes and passed through the lens of the device, which was a telescope and a special weapon.

When it hit him, the giant suffered for a moment.

"The real Fah'um of Dunov would have just ignored that!" Minos said as he moved against the God of Death, the enemy closest to him.

As he attacked this black-haired individual, Minos didn't hesitate to use his Dark Sea, showing this man a power even more terrifying than his own.

"I have killed at least ten times as many people as the real God of Death. You dare to appear before me in his form?" Minos said as he used his wings to attack that one, weakening him and confusing him with the Dark Sea.

These individuals were strong together, but when he got help and realized that he not only could not be fooled by these imitations but that he only had to defeat them to meet this challenge, Minos reacted accordingly!
