The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2196

Opening his eyes, Minos heard the sounds of battle around him, immediately narrowing his eyes and frowning.

He was surprised, shocked to tell the truth. But he didn't ask any unnecessary questions to the people around him or to himself. Being in an unknown and powerful world, he judged it as a problem that would come his way sooner or later.

When he got up from his seat and saw his wife running to help the wounded in the area, he activated his techniques and used his special ability to increase his and Ruth's cultivation while jumping toward the enemies attacking his people.

Five enemies had just arrived at the spot where the group was meditating. But within seconds of their arrival, those five had become seven, while three corpses of guards were lying on the ground, torn apart in various ways.

"Don't let these roots hurt you!" Suddenly, a shout came from the forest, alerting everyone who was already fighting on the outskirts of that place and those who were still awakening from their meditation.

A badly damaged robot emerged from the branches of a tree, shouting. "These roots infect the wounded and turn people into the enemy. I don't know exactly how it started, but if we don't destroy them, they will soon wipe out our entire group!"

Hearing this, Minos didn't hesitate to act, using his powers to create black holes around him, quickly directing them into the path of the roots coming out of those seven bodies.

The moment he did so, the enemy roots changed direction as if they felt the terror of what they would encounter if they followed their previous paths, showing Minos that eliminating them wouldn't be so easy.

"Oh?" He opened his mouth in surprise at the reaction. "All of you, fall back!" He shouted to the people standing around trying to deal with the enemies.

Then, as black rings appeared around the bodies of the seven infected men, Minos condensed his black holes into one region of space while using his powers to pull the enemies into the black hole in front of him.

Maximilian awoke from his meditation just as Minos was dealing with the enemies, immediately realizing the problem around him and the difference between this world and the Spiritual World.

'This feeling...' He felt a chill run through his body because of Minos' black hole, and he imagined that if this guy could create such a powerful black hole in the Spiritual World, even the Gods would fear him.

Even so, those bodies between levels 95 and 98 withstood Minos' power relatively well, although they could not get rid of him or his attempt to lure them into the black hole.

Minos said to Maximillian. "Help me a little. They're stronger than I thought!"

Maximilian no longer hesitated, showing his mighty divine strength as he moved to push the seven bodies in the same direction Minos was pulling them.

With a God at work, even though he was only a little over 20% recovered, there was no way those infected individuals could hold their ground.

Ten seconds after Minos began to act, the bodies of those seven were sucked into the black hole and completely erased.

Only the energy and laws behind them and what had infected them were left inside the black hole, which grew significantly after swallowing them, becoming so strong that even Minos found it difficult to be near it. Nevertheless, he managed to control the black hole and store it in a special device.

"What just happened?" Maximillian looked at the badly damaged robot that had screamed a few moments ago.

Everyone in the group was now awake and standing, looking in the direction of the robot that seemed to be the only one with answers.

"I don't know. It all started with the group that was searching for resources nearby. But that group was destroyed by whatever caused this commotion." The robot said as he sat down in front of the group of survivors.

Of the more than 50 individuals who arrived in this world just a few minutes ago, just over 30 of them are still alive!

The robot said. "I can't tell you much about how it all started or what was behind those roots. But I can say that we lost almost all the blacksmiths, doctors, array masters, and alchemists of the group.

Some of these professionals had stayed behind to cultivate, while most had gone to explore the area with some of the group's guards. So, only those who stayed behind to meditate were left alive!

Ruth opened her mouth in shock as she looked at Minos with concern. "If that's the case, getting off this planet with our methods will be almost impossible. With our numbers here, we won't be able to build a new spaceship..."

Minos clenched his fists, not expecting to deal with such a significant loss when they thought everything was quiet.

Even Maximilian was a little shocked, not knowing how to deal with the situation.

Then a Gorgon asked. "Are there no survivors?"

"There might be." The robot said as he thought about it. "The alchemists and doctors outside the meditation group were definitely destroyed. But I returned here as soon as my group was wiped out, so it could be that someone from the group of blacksmiths and array masters was left.

Maybe one of my robot companions. For some reason, these roots have no effect on us artificial beings."

The group fell silent when they heard this; many were a little afraid to continue meditating, while others were afraid to go after what had happened there.

Minos made up his mind. "Let's not separate anymore. We have to consider that there are powerful and strange enemies nearby. So let's go together to where our other two groups were.

If there are any survivors, we'll find them in those two places. Once we better understand what happened, we'll see what we can do to prevent a repeat."

Minos looked at Maximillian and saw that the man didn't disagree.

Then he looked at the only robot in his group, who was fine, and asked. "Can you read the memories of dead robots? The robot that was with the group of alchemists and doctors must have seen something before he was killed".

"It is possible, but it will destroy his essence, Your Majesty." The level 98 robot said.

"No problem. His body is probably destroyed to such an extent that we can't rebuild it. Even with my powers over the immortal energy, I won't be able to bring him back if he's worse than this guy." Minos said as he pointed to the partially destroyed robot that had alerted his group.

Soon, they would follow the path to where it all began, where they would find the only survivors of this incident.
