The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1558

"Is that so? And how are you going to do that?" Adele asked with interest, curious to see where Minos drew his confidence from.

Minos said nothing, immediately activating his techniques and making his Soul Avatar show itself to everyone in the surrounding area.

But he didn't try to affect his opponent's body or the people near the place where the queen had chosen for this challenge to be initiated.

Instead, he directed his forces towards the activation of his main technique's fusion, causing a black hole to appear between his hands as he had them open and turned to the skies.

A black hole of about ten cubic meters appeared in the hands of the Soul Avatar of Minos, showing the experts there the ultimate creation of Emperor Stuart, something capable of confusing even them.

Even Queen Mcbride couldn't see through the event horizon and couldn't help frowning at the sight of something so strange coming from a young Spiritual Saint.

All kinds of power were possible to exist in the Spiritual World. But some of them were truly shocking, as they gave excessive powers to their users, to the point that some could even destroy the world if they so wished.

Adele saw that and felt it would not be good to touch it.

'Is that black hole of Minos? It is compelling... But I can beat him without even touching this thing with my body!' She thought, activating her 8th technique also to start fighting.

However, while she was moving, Minos would not stand still waiting for this woman for her to defeat him.

He used the black hole to devour some bodies in one of his spatial rings, which he kept with him to use as nutrients in case of need.

The black hole swallowed those 'nutrients' with no problem, doing so as fast as the speed of light that Adele didn't have time to take her first action before that thing got bigger.

Minos' black hole was a spiritual fusion, which demonstrated two of his techniques in their splendor. However, if he stopped putting his cultivation energies and understanding into it before it 'ate' something, the black hole would disappear as if it were a mere projection.

But when it devoured mass, spiritual energy, and Natural Laws, Minos' spiritual black hole became 'concrete,' independent of its creator's will to continue existing.

Minos could manipulate it if that region of space were under a limit of power. Still, even if he traveled far away or stopped using his forces to maintain it, such a black hole would continue to exist in his absence.

When he gave the energy-rich 'nutrients' and laws, Minos turned his spiritual fusion into something else, creating something so powerful and real that he could stop manipulating it and escape.

But instead of leaving, Minos went inside that region devoid of light, showing everyone his plan.

He would protect himself from Adele inside his black hole, and if she wanted to defeat him, she would have to enter that region of space.

However, if she did that, she would meet her end!

On the other hand, no one could stop the battle after all that was said, so the people there had no alternatives but to wait or give up the challenge.

"Hahaha, it looks like he got us, huh?" The woman who had challenged and beaten Oswald commented aloud.

The one who should have rights over Harold's genes frowned her eyebrows and looked at the queen. "What are we going to do? Are we really going to wait for that big coward?"

"What else can we do but wait?" Hannah said. "Minos is in front of us. There is nowhere for him to run. Meanwhile, if he wants to save his grandfather and Harold, he must beat Adele. Then he will come out and lose to my youngest daughter sooner or later."

"So we will wait?" Adele asked.

"Yes. Keep those two locked up, and neither of you can perform your mating ceremonies. I gave Minos my word, so he has the time he needs to gather the courage necessary to face my daughter."

They were all women who had already lived at least a few hundred years, so waiting for Minos was no big deal, and they all accepted the queen's orders.

On the other hand, the two women coming from a border post in this state and the man from the Eastern Empire were watching the situation together, anxious for a resolution.

That was especially true for the level 80 man, who did not expect to see the downfall of Minos in this place.

He was no longer stronger than Minos, but after watching this fellow grow over the years, this man had acquired some respect for Emperor Stuart.

At the same time, the Flowers Kingdom was not an ally of his empire, so he tended to choose a side opposite to the women of that place. In this case, he wanted to see Minos win and leave that place alongside Harold and Oswald.

'The future will be much more interesting if Minos wins this challenge...'

...

Meanwhile, Minos was already in the Spatial Kingdom, ready to begin seclusion.

He didn't know how to beat Adele in the short term without getting at least a level of advancement. So he had chosen to hide inside the black hole, where the women in that royal palace could not sense his departure to the Spatial Kingdom.

Arriving at this cultivation sanctuary, Minos intended to train and cultivate as much as possible to improve his skills, perhaps enough for him to solve the situation outside of this place.

Amid her thoughts, Sarah saw him coming and ran to him, eager to show her father her skills.

She had focused on cultivating for almost four months and made several advances, reaching level 12.

Minos noticed his daughter's cultivation level and promptly congratulated her before seeing his three wives standing there with strange expressions.

"What happened? Why are you here so early?" Abby asked as Minos looked at her belly, noticing that this part of her body was a little larger than the last time he saw her.

The other two looked inquisitively at Minos until he answered them. "I have found Harold and Oswald. However, to rescue them both, I must defeat someone stronger than I can now."

"That..." Ruth looked at him, not knowing what to say.

"What will we do?" Gloria questioned him.

"I'll cultivate until I reach the strength to beat her." He said before walking with Sarah in his arms to where the giant bones of the Spatial Kingdom were.

His women followed him on this walk, worried about this decision.

"How long do you intend to do this?" Gloria asked.

"What about the Black Plain? Even if you can cultivate it day and night, you won't advance in less than a year and a half." Abby pointed out this, which was their primary concern.

Minos replied. "The Black Plain should be fine. We already have many powerful subordinates and allies and not so many enemies."

"Mortimer doesn't worry you?"

"No. I have placed someone to track him..." Minos' eyes narrowed. "I have the impression that he will realize this and try to hide.

In any case, I have no choice but to do that. From where I left at the moment, there are several Spiritual Demigods."

Gulp!
