Minos took a slightly calmer breath and said. "Hmm, there's about a 90% chance he died. But considering that he underestimated me, I doubt he ran away when he saw me disappear. So, he can only be dead now."

Minos' powers obviously limited the fusion of Devouring Art and Chaotic Gravity. Thus, that level 70 man definitely could have escaped if he had reacted in time.

Unfortunately, once inside the event horizon of that black hole created by Minos, everything happened so fast that even someone outside the limits of that young man would suffer.

But the main problem was not the power of Minos' fusion but the special characteristic of the black hole, to 'devour' the mass in the surroundings and become stronger.

Because of the amount of matter and spiritual energy in the bodies of those cultivators, the black hole unable to devour a Spiritual Saint had evolved into one capable of doing so.

Knowing this special characteristic of that fusion, Minos was sure that the Spiritual Saint who attacked him could only have died!

"Sigh..."

'It's a pity, but all the more than 13,000 spatial rings in that place have been lost...' Minos lamented in his mind, feeling the damage that such a Spiritual Saint had given him.

'Even the valuable ring of that Spiritual Saint must have been lost.' He felt the desolation of such a thing, lowering his face and then placing his hands on it.

"Master?" Ayn asked.

After a brief moment of lamentation over such a loss, he tried to see the bright side in all this. 'At least that thing is not useless to me. On the contrary, it can help me protect myself or enrich my territory.'

"Sigh..."

He shook his head and changed the subject. "Forget about it. What have you done with the three I sent here?"

Seeing the look on Minos' face, Neal promptly left his expression of disbelief to answer his leader. "We finished chaining those three and then took them to the basement of the lake house. They must still be unconscious there."

"Well, leave them there and don't do anything. I'll take care of their situation later. Now..." He looked at the surroundings and smiled. "My bad, fellows, but I need to borrow your energies for a moment before a tragedy happens."

As the people there looked at each other in doubt about what Minos meant, dozens of them felt their energies being devoured by their leader's technique.

Minos could not use the Devouring Art to permanently steal the power of his targets, which meant that he could not add that power to his own. But the stolen power could be used to 'recharge' his reserves.

That was precisely why he did not get tired when fighting so many opponents, and that was what he was doing at this very moment.

"Ahh..."

"That..."

Several people there fell to their knees, feeling their energies depleted in the blink of an eye.

After absorbing the energies of all those people, Minos felt better, with a fraction of his energies having been recovered.

He then stood up and walked inside that house to get the artifact that he had managed to order through the Edwardstone family.

'Well, now I have to store that thing to avoid any major problems...' He held a mirror sphere in his hands and teleported out of the Spatial Kingdom.

...

After appearing within the event horizon of his black hole, Minos felt a strange sensation in his body, but he was not affected by such a thing as others would be.

He had created such a black hole, so naturally, he was the only one on his level who could negate the effects of this region of space by using his techniques together, protecting his body.

How crazy would be a fusion of techniques that even its user couldn't control?

But the Black Hole was terrifying, and if it were not for the fact that Minos had somewhat recovered, if he had been exhausted, as he had been before, then even though he was the creator of it, he would still be devoured!

That was why he had fled to the Spatial Kingdom when he threw that black sphere, already completely exhausted.

Anyway, when he appeared in the area devoid of light, where he could only see distorted lights coming from outside that region of space, Minos connected to the Black Hole and began to manipulate it.

He put a lot of effort into doing this, using all the energy that those in the Spatial Kingdom had given him to store that black hole in the spiritual array in one of his hands.

As he opened that mirror sphere, a medium-level grade-3 array, he slowly stored the small black sphere within such a thing.

While doing so, he could not help but notice the rich flow of spiritual energy leaving such a region of space. 'The spiritual energy from all the mass absorbed by this is slowly being expelled.'

He then smiled. 'At least I haven't totally lost the billions of crystals in this place.'

The moment he finished what he was doing, he left some parts of that mirrored array subtly open, just enough so that such a thing would not explode...

Meanwhile, the flow of spiritual energy he felt earlier had suddenly significantly increased, now coming out through the small openings he left.

'That's truly amazing...' He smiled, still holding this stuff that could not be stored in spatial rings.

...

Outside the event horizon...

Abby and Ruth were already standing alongside many soldiers who had previously been watching this area, both waiting patiently for Minos.

After a few minutes of standing there, they both felt that something was happening, and a few moments later, that region devoid of light began to disappear.

Then, as the interior of that region of space became visible again, a large round crater was revealed in the ground, where nothing but the rocks of the event horizon boundary could be seen.

But a few hundred above that crater was a young man in golden armor floating with a glass sphere in his hands.

Seeing the smile on Minos' face, his two wives were relieved that he was okay and flew to where he was before he collapsed from exhaustion.

"My love, what happened? Why did you have to use the Black Hole?" Abby held Minos' left arm, her heart beating fast.

Ruth held his right arm, and together with Abby, they floated to the ground. "Honey, did a Spiritual Saint appear here?" The black-haired woman asked.

Hearing this, Minos nodded in agreement. "Yes, a level 70 man attacked me while I was fighting the enemies in this camp."

Gulp!

"Miserables!" Abby clenched her fists in anger.

After she swallowed her saliva, Ruth asked. "Did he run away?"

"He died." He said, shocking them both.

When he was in the Spatial Kingdom, Minos could only guess at the most likely situation. But after connecting with that black hole, he felt how the power of that thing was beyond what it should be after absorbing the Spiritual Kings from earlier.

Therefore, he knew that the Spiritual Saint who attacked him had died!

"He died?" The two asked.

"Hmm, unfortunately, I'm still too weak. So, I couldn't watch that. But I'm sure he died." He assured them.

"Anyway, let's return to our battles. With you here, I can join the battle. So, let's go to the nearest enemy camp."

"But..." Abby hesitated.

"Let's talk about everything when this day ends." He said in a determined tone.

"Fine!"

After that, the three flew to Minos' next target.

...

Meanwhile, in the capital of Vogel...

An elderly man ran through the halls of one of the royal palace buildings, entering that place of great importance without much ceremony.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" He shouted in desperation.

"Hmm?" The crown prince of Vogel looked at that servant of his family, wanting to know what was going on for this man to enter there in this desperate way.

The prince's protector then glared at that man and asked in an authoritative tone. "What are you doing? State your reasons for breaking the family rules in three seconds!"

The old man then did as he should. "Mr. Bond has just died!"
