The Rise of the Black Plain

chapter-2126
"This is the home of the True Seraphim, Minos." The six-winged creature said as its voice echoed through the space, growing stronger and more impressive, giving this human the same sensations as hearing the voice of an ancient God.
'This... This can't be. The True Seraphim shouldn't be able to create such a place, let alone be so strong!' Minos thought to himself, ignoring the fact that the cloud creature had mentioned his name.
"You are wrong." The six-winged creature said. "I'm afraid you do not know the true history of the Seraphim, so you cannot understand this place or its purpose. But fear not, I will pass on the words of my Lord. I will show you the truth!"
Minos narrowed his eyes as his eyebrows knitted together. "Minos? How did you... Did you read my thoughts?" He was startled, not imagining that this creature could overcome the mental barriers of someone like him.
"That is what matters least now, Minos. You found the singularity my tribe left behind before my men got lost in this world. Unfortunately, no one managed to find us in time, and now my group is extinct. Sigh, I didn't expect the people of this world to be so different from my original home."Minos opened his mouth when he heard this, sensing that this being was about to say something completely new.
"It can't be..."
"That's right. The True Seraphim aren't from your little world, Minos. That's why we are not limited by what you think. The story you know did happen. The seraphim members of my tribe lived in your world and became extinct shortly after leaving their genes with some natives of the Spiritual World. They didn't expect a climatic disaster to occur at their moment of greatest weakness, and that was our greatest mistake.
That's the story you know. But 2 million years before the end of the seraphim living in the Spiritual World, I created this pocket space and sent it with my group to your planet. That is a long story that you don't know. You must understand the truth to understand my purpose and what you are to do now."
As the seraph spoke, its wings slowly opened, revealing a golden glow that covered its body. Minos couldn't bear to look directly at it, so he looked away and closed his eyes.
"Look!" The seraph's voice reached his ears, and rays of golden light shone into his eyes.
In an instant, Minos felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him before seeing scenes from a distant place, various information and images flashing through his mind."The Seraphim is actually a sacred order, vassals of the Lord of the Worlds, a Supreme Being of the Universe in charge of various galaxies and worlds. As vassals, we must watch over and protect our Lord's domains, which my tribe was supposed to do in your world, Minos.
Unfortunately, our group didn't prepare well enough. It relied on technology that stopped working during that cataclysm millions of years ago. Since then, your world has been abandoned and unprotected.
We've done our best to leave something for the elves to feel the world's dangers, but it's nothing compared to what we could do if we were still here."
Minos didn't know what to say when he heard that. He found it very strange. But since he already knew that many civilizations were outside the Spiritual World, he didn't doubt the truth of the creature's words.
"I... That..."
"I know, it's shocking. You must be surprised. You thought the people of The Adamant Land had discovered you first... But now you're hearing all this from me. But don't think that. We didn't discover this place. We've known about your world since the end of Panvuter. After all, this is my Lord's domain."
"Does that mean that Panvuter is not the universe's origin?" Minos asked.
The six-winged creature laughed. "Of course not. Panvuter was a great and powerful world. I admit that. But the Universe is too big and powerful to be related to a single planet."
"Then why? Why were you here and then stayed away for so long? Why did you hide your origins?" "My people were just supposed to watch you, Minos. That was only one of the worlds in my Lord's domain. Losing the watch group here would be like your state losing a village of less than 50 people. That's the kind of thing that could happen and go unnoticed."
"For millions of years?"
"For an immortal being, millions of years pass in the blink of an eye."
Gulp!
"Immortal?" Minos opened his mouth, not expecting it.
"You're right to think that level 100 isn't the limit. The beings of Panvuter far exceeded that level in their time, and there are even stronger creatures in the Universe. If you ever get the chance, look for worlds like Panvuter. That will be your chance to surpass your limits.
Minos clenched his fists, feeling like he was nothing but very excited to explore new possibilities.
"Anyway, as I said, our role was to observe and protect. From your memories, I can see that nothing that would require our action has happened in the meantime. So I'm relieved."
"But the aliens discovered us! Wasn't that your role? To protect your domain?"
"The inhabitants of The Adamant Land are also part of my lord's domain." The creature said as it closed its wings. "But I'll give you a chance, Minos. Fortunately for you, I need someone to tell the other vassals of my Lord what has happened in the Spiritual World. If you do what I need, I'll give you something to help you kill your enemies."
"What exactly do you expect me to do?"
"The purpose of this little pocket is to store and absorb the souls of the seraphim. Whenever members of my tribe have died in your world, my wings have absorbed their souls and condensed them into this place. The sea below you is the essence of my people.
Think of this place as an insurance policy against catastrophic problems. Originally, I was supposed to come back after a job, collect this essence, and bring it back to the tribe. Unfortunately, something prevented me from doing so before I died... So this spark of consciousness that is speaking to you is ultimately to guide you on this mission to take the essence to the Seraphim Tribe and give it to my Lord's vassals.
To do this, you must reach level 100. As for the details, don't worry. I will guide you when the time comes. For now, just accept the promise to do what is necessary to complete these missions. In exchange for this promise, I'll give you the knowledge and the weapon to kill the enemy Gods."
Minos smiled when he heard that, not minding to do anything in exchange for something with such ability. "Then I'm willing."
