The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2595

In the blink of an eye, an entire year had passed since Minos and the two Generals had returned to the guild.

Minos had been at the headquarters with Abby and had not repeated the experiment to develop Supreme corpses. As much as it was in their plans to repeat the experiment to confirm their earlier findings, they would have to wait for the right time to do so.

Since the fall of the Judgement Tower, the forces of the Firestone Minos coalition had become more agitated, defensive, and cautious in their moves against the Armhands' coalition.

The previous brutal outcome had come as an unexpected surprise to both allies and enemies of the Armhands.

As a result, this extra year of war was not a good time for Minos to experiment with the black liquid again to make Supreme corpses.

However, the guild wanted him to repeat the feat when the conditions were right!

In the meantime, he took the opportunity to cultivate as much as he could, but not only that, he also took the last step in the experiments alongside Abby, finally experimenting with corpses that were not resurrected by her divine ability!

...

In the cave of Minos' faction, the few members who were there at that moment watched the actions of their leader and Abby.

The General, who was on the verge of reaching the 12th stage, was in position there, continuing to observe Minos and Abby's experiments, as he had done for the past few years.

Meanwhile, Minos was focused on helping his wife and defending her if necessary, as they had just used the black liquid to revive the corpse they had chosen to begin the test.

As expected, when a corpse was revived with the black liquid alone, the creature would come back to life without recovering its decomposed body, proving to be even more brutal and bloodthirsty than the corpses revived by Abby when sensitized by too much black liquid.

While a corpse revived by Abby needed hundreds of milliliters of the black liquid to become uncontrollable, a corpse not sensitized by her powers would go through the same thing with just a few dozen milliliters.

The upside of all this? It seemed to mean that they could revive stronger corpses with the same amount of liquid as if they did the reverse process, with Abby's ability kicking in first!

But they still needed to confirm if Abby's divine ability would have any effect on this skeletal creature, with rotting flesh here and there, trying to attack the living in the area.

Abby focused her powers on her ability, feeling her connection to the dead as the energy of her body and the air moved under her control, following the magical rules she had mastered.

The chaotic and horrible looking undead suddenly looked to Abby and convulsed as the energy of the beautiful blue-haired woman entered his body.

He shook and looked like he was going crazy, obviously trying to resist Abby's dominance.

However, with her cultivation at the peak of level 108 because of Minos' help, Abby could easily dominate even level 112 corpses. Beyond level 112, things would only get more difficult for her and she would need more intervention from Minos.

The creature they were testing was at the limit that their abilities could fully affect, so after some initial resistance, the creature stopped shaking, its aura calmed down along with its body movements.

"Did it work?" The General opened his mouth as the corpse's cultivation suddenly jumped to level 113.

But instead of escaping from Abby's control, the creature kneeled down in front of her as the chaos inside it subsided.

Its vitality tripled compared to before Abby's divine ability was involved, while its body parts regenerated.

"Master," The creature said, its bloodlust and chaos no longer visible in its eyes. Its voice sounded like that of a centered, rational being.

Minos watched curiously, sensing the effects of Abby's powers seemed better when she merely controlled and enhanced a creature revived by the black liquid.

It also seemed to be more efficient, as they could use less of the liquid to achieve better effects than they'd had in the experiments of the past few years.

"It seems to be the best way to use this essence." Abby looked at Minos with a smile, seeing a result she hadn't really expected.

Minos agreed, certain that this corpse was completely under Abby's control, even though he had suddenly advanced to level 113.

With his Incorruptible Heart, there was no way a being of such a 'low' level could fool him!

"General, you can report our results to the Elders. Also, let them know that we'll test with stronger corpses. If the results are good, we'll try to resurrect a peak level 114 corpse, one that can evolve to level 115 by the end of the experiments."

At Minos' command, the General left in high spirits.

If the previous results couldn't solve the current war until they refined their methods, today's discovery had the potential to surpass everything they knew. If the results of today's experiment held true for stronger corpses, then in a few more months, they could produce Supreme corpses that could be trusted to act on behalf of the guild!

Abby and Minos stayed behind to keep an eye on the corpse for a while, while the members of their faction watched anxiously.

If all went well, their group would have a Supreme in the near future, guaranteeing better resources and opportunities for everyone!

Minos had won some great prizes after the raid a year ago, things that had helped the members of his faction so far. So if he could contribute even more, the faction's growth corridor would be even greater!

After a while, the observers would disperse, while the faction's newest corpse would join the row of corpses arranged around the cave.

Minos and Abby would split up to cultivate and recover their energy, already thinking about going further in the next experiments, using even more powerful bodies.

Even if an elder agreed to accompany them to experiment with a peak level 114 corpse, they could try with corpses stronger than the previous one.
