The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2571

When he touched Minos' body, the Commander felt the dragon-like power inside this small human body, as well as the majestic characteristics of seraphim's wings. These were the two major changes in this young man that the level 117 giant associated with the current level of the Intermediate Officer in front of him.

'He used to have something of the dragons in his soul and body. This spark has turned into a great fire.' The giant closed his eyes, understanding Minos' situation.

'He had a few chance encounters with dragons and seraphim... Is that good or bad luck for him?' The Commander opened his eyes, a smile on his face despite his uncertainty about Minos' future.

He wouldn't talk to Minos about it, nor would he ask where the man's strength came from. Strengthening experiences were very personal. Asking a cultivator how they achieved something was like asking for a person's greatest secret.

It was information that no one would directly ask another person how they became stronger or achieved something unless they decided to share it themselves.

For experts like the Commander, asking such a question would look bad, so he simply focused on other things when he greeted Minos.

As for the two level 114 serpents around Minos' body, the easiest thing to understand was that they were the man's mounts.

The Commander ignored these two frightening creatures hiding in Minos' wings.

"I see you're stronger and more capable... Did you solve what you wanted to? Are you ready to resume your responsibilities to the guild?" the Commander asked, looking into Minos' eyes.

Minos nodded in agreement. "Yes, I've taken care of everything I needed to on this journey. Now I intend to spend the next few decades focusing on growing in the guild and continuing to earn merit."

"Perfect. Then I'll prepare everything for you to receive the black liquid and begin your experiments with your wife as soon as possible. For now, take a few days to visit your fellow faction members and rest from your journey. There will be plenty for you to do after that."

"Thank you for the opportunity, Commander." Minos made a gesture of thanks, finally getting what he wanted.

Despite his empowerment, he was still only one person. But if Abby's theories were correct, she could use the black liquid to extend the lifespan of the dead she brought back to the world of the living.

Depending on the results of her experiments, this could mean that they could have an even more durable army of the dead, which could open up a whole range of possibilities for them.

Even if they would resurrect the dead for the guild, or even if they could benefit the guild, the fact that Minos and Abby's combined abilities created undead loyal to them would never change!

As such, he was truly grateful for the opportunity the Commander had given him.

The Commander nodded at Minos, liking the boy's positioning. He said, "By the way, your position as an Intermediate Officer is not suitable for your current level of power. From now on, you will take the position of a Senior Officer.

Your superiors will handle it for you, so just do what you have to do. Your additional duties, responsibilities and rights will be explained to you in a few days."

Minos narrowed his eyes, recognizing it would probably force him to become more involved in the current war than he had planned.

Unfortunately, there was no way he could go against the orders of the Commander.

He smiled and thanked him again, trying to look on the bright side of being a Senior Officer. He would at least have more rights, a smaller number of responsibilities, although those responsibilities would be more complicated.

With the Commander's permission, he set off, leaving behind the General who had led him there, as well as the giant guild leader and another General.

"Is the Commander planning to send him to the war? Someone like Minos can disturb any battlefield. The way he is now, if he sacrifices his parasite, he could temporarily reach the level of a Supreme," The right hand of the Commander said.

"Yes, but not now. I'll let him test the black liquid with his wife. If they succeed, we can bring back the Founder!"

The two Generals clenched their fists, thinking of the level 125 figure who founded the guild millions of years ago!

Would Minos and Abby succeed? There was no way for them to know, but the idea of having a Celestial being back couldn't help but make them all think about the possibilities that lay ahead if they succeeded. With someone so strong, they could become Oqia's greatest power and eventually take one of its branches to Uzira!

...

Meanwhile, Minos did not know what the Commander had in mind. He simply made his way to the exit of the Council and arrived back at the inner wing of the guild, where he soon began his journey to the Law Enforcement Hall.

As he climbed the front steps of the hall, Minos made his way to where he could sense Gloria and Abby were.

Rhett hadn't come to warn them of his arrival, as the alien was busy with something important when he spotted Minos earlier. Realizing this, he moved on, passing the guards in the area who didn't recognize him, but also didn't stop him when they spotted the cloak he was wearing now.

Armhands had their uniforms for the different parts of the guild. Since Minos wore the mantle of Supervisor of the Law Enforcement Hall, the men in the area knew he was a challenger or a former leader of that hall.

None of them would stand in the way of someone like that!

The moment Minos entered the part of the hall where Abby's office was, he spotted Lily and Hollie coming from where Abby and Gloria were.

The two girls saw the white-haired man smiling at them and stopped to stare at him, noticing some traces of their old father in the man.

"Father?" Hollie opened her mouth as she realized who this guy with six wings on his back really was.

Lily remained silent, her mouth open in shock, seeing her father taller, stronger, more handsome, with more wings on his back changed in a way that made her lose her words for a few moments.

But while Lily was silent, Gloria and Abby appeared in the doorway of that office, having heard the word 'father' from Hollie's mouth.

"Minos?" The two recognized her husband, also finding the changes in him strange, but recognizing their husband more easily than the two girls.
