The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2037

When Minos showed them the body of a robot that was slightly larger than a human Soul Avatar, the entire group following him focused on this lifeless creature that showed no signs of strength.

At first glance, the robot looked like a pile of well-designed and assembled metal, with a more or less humanoid shape, two arms and two legs, and a head.

However, it had no cultivation, and it was difficult to say how it would be classified according to the Spiritual World's classification of inanimate artifacts.

"Is this the kind of opponent we'll deal with in the future?" A sky whale asked as he looked at the robot strangely, moving one of his hands toward the robot's left fist.

Before that level 97 being could test the resistance of that metal body, Minos appeared in front of him and said. "This robot's resistance must be similar to that of the other beings we fought months ago. It will probably be damaged if you use your power on it."

"And what's wrong with that?" Another sea creature asked.

Ruth explained. "We want to study these robots and find a way to bring them to life. If we can make them fight for our side, we can change the fate of the war to defend the Spiritual World."

"That sounds incredible, but how are we going to do that? I really believe this thing called a robot is a threat because of your words, but there's no sign of it here." An elf said, full of doubt. "If we can't even test it, how will we find a way to give it life?"

"Not to mention that there's no guarantee we can get it to fight on our side. If the alien civilization is more advanced than ours, what guarantee do we have that we can use their weapons against them?

What if we go down this road and end up creating even more enemies to face in the future?"

This was a pertinent question that even Minos and his people could not answer or give any guarantees to these people.

He said. "I really don't know what could happen if we bring some of these robots to life. The fact is, even if we can't make them fight for us, by understanding how they are created, we can also understand how to eliminate them more easily."

"And how would we start?" Vico asked Minos.

Minos turned away from everyone and then took out one of the 'corpses' of the robots he and his group had faced months ago.

The moment he removed this mechanical creature from his spatial ring, Minos made all the newcomers change their expressions. Unlike the new robot, which hadn't received its essence yet and naturally looked like nothing more than a pile of metal, the dead creature summoned by Emperor Stuart was completely different.

Even though it was dead, there was something about it that was very easy to understand, something that told anyone with the ability to 'read' spiritual fluctuations that this creature had once been at level 94.

Not only that, but it had something in its being that radiated laws that no one there knew about, making it a living and special being, as Minos and his people had said so far.

Minos then said as those people observed the damage to that robot to observe part of its interior. "This being had level 94 power when it was alive, but don't make the mistake of thinking it was a simple level 94 Demigod.

The speed of this being was like that of a level 94 movement expert or someone with a Golden-grade movement technique. At the same time, the rigidity of its body was like that of a level 94 dragon, and its strength was like that of a sky whale at the same level.

Its reaction speed, or rather how quickly it perceived the world around it and thought of possible ways out, was even better than the reaction speed of elves.

In short, it was the most complete level 94 warrior you could imagine. The only flaw you might consider is that its powers are not complex. At most, it would use its physical strength to fight its opponents, using its legs and fists, or at most, a weapon. But you wouldn't see it using a mental technique or soul move. That's their weakness."

Everyone listened with some trepidation, all very serious about what Minos had to say about these robots.

Not having complex abilities was indeed a weakness, but considering how good they were at everything else, that alone wasn't hopeful.

"If that's true, our situation is truly dire." The strongest sky whale there commented.

What Minos had described was basically a beast without the innate ability that high-level beings usually had. However, even without considering such an ability, a being with such good characteristics would still be considered one of the strongest at its level.

It would have an absolute advantage over 80% of opponents at the same level of it!

But these were artificial beings that could be produced, unlike, for example, the sky whales, which had to be bred in their mothers' wombs for more than ten years and still had to go through a long journey to reach high levels.

That's what made them so terrifying! To have powers similar to those of the strongest and most talented beings in this world, but without going through the many processes necessary to strengthen creatures in the Spiritual World!

Vico was also worried, feeling that if the enemies could create peak Demigods, then their problems were genuinely dire.

"It looks like we really have to try to bring at least one of them to life. Even if it can't work for us, we can at least try to understand more about its limitations and origins." Vico commented to everyone as he looked at the essence inside that being, which looked a bit like Divine Medicine.

It wasn't exactly the same as Divine Medicines, as it had less energy and laws than a medicine of that quality would normally have. But it was more than Saint Medicines, something that could not be ignored.

"What about this essence? Have you considered taking it from it and putting it into one of these new bodies?" An elf asked Minos after realizing they really had to risk giving life to one of these beings.

This being was dead, but it didn't look as simple as the living beings of this world when they died. For some reason, the essence of this creature seemed to be alive, so some of them wondered if it wouldn't give life to other robots if it were transferred from that corpse to new bodies.
