The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1845

When they realized the extent of Ruth's ability, everyone in the group became excited.

This was an impressive power for a Sage to have!

But this was the reality of the Divine grade!

Normally, people in the Spiritual World believed that all the greatness of the Gods came from their powerful souls. In fact, their souls were so powerful that it was hard to tell how much of their powers were influenced by that alone.

However, their Divine Physiques greatly influenced their powers. After attaining this quality, their innate abilities significantly changed, giving them unimaginable possibilities before the qualitative advancement.

Many people associated how impressive the Gods were with their souls, but much of it was the merit of their innate abilities!

After reaching the Divine grade, Ruth's ability was even able to regenerate the spiritual energy in the bodies of her teammates.

The only weakness of Ruth's ability at the moment was that she was still only a level 81 Sage, and she would not be able to keep her entire group under the effects of her ability for long.

But as long as she got stronger, that would change a lot!

To give you an idea of how ridiculous Ruth's power was right now, she would practically no longer need to cultivate to recover spent spiritual energy. Her own ability could already regenerate everything she consumed for her own use!

Minos smiled at his wife, happy she had succeeded and awakened such great potential. But he didn't stay in that state for long and soon turned back to his wife.

"Raise your guard. Our protection will fall!" Minos said aloud as he activated his Soul Avatar and prepared for the many enemies nearby.

Everyone in his group put their smiles aside and circulated their energies to form their huge, powerful versions.

They quickly formed a circular formation with the Demigods and Minos at the front and Harold and Emperor Stuart's wives in the middle.

An instant after they all raised their guards, cracking sounds were heard above them, and then the entire barrier fell.

Immediately after the barrier fell, they felt the spiritual fluctuations of the four groups waiting for this moment, and each of these beings flew toward them.

'Forty enemies between levels 88 and 93.' Minos immediately counted the number of enemies, a bit stronger than he thought his group could handle.

The team members realized the same thing and had ugly expressions on their faces.

They were not in a situation where they would either give up what they had or die. But their chances of winning without any casualties were not great!

However, the beings from the groups that approached them also noticed the strength of these people.

'Six Demigods and six Sages, most of the latter of low level.' A phoenix flying alongside two nine-tailed foxes thought to herself.

Meanwhile, the people of Mairin's group quickly realized the identities of those people, the group from the Spiritual Church and the group from the Black Plain Empire.

'Emperor Stuart, huh? So that guy came to this event... Is he the one who activated the level 100 legacy?' One of the strongest humans, level 93, thought to himself as he gave Minos a look.

He did not underestimate Emperor Stuart. This guy had great talent, so he might have awakened such an inheritance. If that was the case, then a terrible enemy of Vico and possibly the Western Region was right in front of them.

If Minos escaped and were allowed to grow, he would surely reach level 99 as he had received the level 100 inheritance!

One of the other groups, consisting of humans from the Divine Continent and an elf, was also there, staring intently at Minos' group.

"That human..." The pointy-eared woman looked at Minos strangely, realizing that one of her people had already connected with him.

"Syndra, is there a problem?" One of the elf's allies asked, noticing her strange behavior.

"This level 83 human is linked to someone from my tribe."

When she said that, all the groups finally stopped advancing and stopped a few hundred meters away from each other while surrounding Minos' group.

Before a battle like this, which wouldn't be easy given the strength of each group, each party had to try to engage in dialogue. In certain situations like this, it was possible to negotiate a way out.

If that were not possible, the surrounding groups would at least have to organize to share the enemy's collected resources. Otherwise, the conflict would escalate until only one was left with all the items.

Each party had its own concerns and fears, so no one took the first step in a hurry.

Seeing the enemies floating in the air, Minos looked at the group of three beasts and saw two nine-tailed foxes, one level 88 and one level 89. Next to them was a level 91 phoenix.

Minos then said in a loud voice. "Friends of the Continent of Beasts, do not oppose me. I am a friend of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe, and I will soon visit your home. If you do not attack us, I promise to bring gifts to your people."

"Oh? Your Majesty is really good at getting out of trouble, huh?" One of Mairin's natives said aloud, realizing that Minos was trying to destabilize the enemy group.

"Your Majesty, don't tell me you're afraid?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to kill everyone here," Minos confidently said. "Some of you I would rather have on my side. The Spiritual World will soon face a disaster. I'd rather have more friends than enemies when such time comes!"

The elf looked at Minos with narrowed eyes. As an elf, she knew something terrible would happen in the world!

But she didn't know if Minos was serious or trying to escape the trouble. "Your Majesty? Are you a ruler of the Central Continent?"

"I am Minos Stuart of the Black Plain Empire," Minos said to the woman before showing his group. "These are my family and friends from the Spiritual Church. Elf, you must have felt or heard strange rumors in your tribe. You know that something will happen. So do not stand against us today. When the time comes, I will help those willing to fight for the Spiritual World.

But today, I have no intention of sharing what belongs to me with strangers. Stand back, and we can share my wealth when we are on the same side."

"Tsk!" In the other group of humans, also from the western region, one of the men there did not like Minos' words. "Are you afraid, Minos Stuart?"

"As I said, I fear I must kill you all. You are important talents for the future of our world. It would be a shame for you to die here." Minos clenched his fists as he showed his chaotic aura to these people, making even the elf feel uncomfortable.

As Minos showed more of his aura to these beings, they almost felt like a giant dragon was in his place!
