The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2787

A hand of Minos pierced through space while surrounded by darkness and then revealed itself to Hell again, presenting a non-human heart, the size of a chicken, with 12 holes in its structure.

The level 124 Supreme almost couldn't believe his eyes when he saw that heart appear in the hands of the enemy. But his inability to move and the feeling of alarm within him revealed to him that this was the reality.

That was just a soul, but strangely, the souls in Hell perfectly replicated the physical bodies of their owners and it was even possible for one to remove organs from the souls of their adversaries.

But the heart of this level 124 Supreme didn't bleed. Energy and laws escaped from it, the cultivation comprehension of a soul losing its living characteristic to become a spiritual remnant belonging to Hell.

"Thank you for saving my women for me here. Now you can die," Minos said to the enemy, as those minions of the dying individual slipped out of his control, temporarily becoming leaderless Hell members.

Even when the body of the enemy's soul disappeared, Gloria and Ruth didn't seem to recognize Minos. In fact, they didn't seem to know anything other than to remain silent, emboldened by the man who could now challenge the area to become the new ruler of this vast territory.

Minos looked at them and understood their situation. They were now tied to Hell in a way that only a superior being could give them their freedom again. This was bad and made him feel awful about what might have happened to them if he hadn't found them.

The good thing was that the living beings in Hell only thought about one thing: fighting and getting stronger. When they weren't doing that, one would take care of keeping Hell running and hardly torture strangers or waste their time in other ways. With almost everyone there hunting each other, it wasn't interesting to waste their time on silly things.

Because of this, although they had certainly been in danger, Ruth, and Gloria were much stronger now than when he had seen them the last time. Ruth had reached level 118, while Gloria now displayed a level 117 aura.

Minos didn't try to talk to them, so he began the challenge of the area. Once he became the replacement for the individual he had just eliminated, the two would fall under his control and he could return to them all their old memories and personalities.

'Those crowns are really problematic. If one's mind isn't powerful, they can become blind minions of their masters. That's what would have happened to me if I'd been just a little weaker when Qhava kidnapped me.' He imagined that what had happened to these two was precisely what he had narrowly avoided.

Hours passed and soon Minos would finish his conquest of yet another territory, one that held 8 Reincarnation Wheels, making a total of 29 Reincarnation Wheels under Minos' direct command!

As soon as he had won this area and felt more of his powers connected to the Drops of Hell, Minos focused on his women, leaving aside all the other minions he had gained along with them.

He suppressed the power of Gloria and Ruth's crowns, while invoking the memories belonging to both of them before they were connected to the essence of the crown that was now part of his crown.

It took a minute for this to happen, when the two women suddenly opened their eyes wider and looked at their surroundings in amazement.

"Minos!" Gloria shouted as she paled, recognizing her husband but unable to help but be surprised by his strange appearance.

"That..." Ruth was also shocked by Minos' rocky appearance.

They momentarily forgot the situation they were in to look worriedly at him.

He laughed and reassured them. "I'm fine. This is my infernal appearance. When we return to Uzira, I'll look the same as before. This is just my soul form, something similar to my dragon form."

The two believed without doubting him, not knowing if it was because of their trust in her husband or because of the connection between their crowns.

"As for you, well, I'll hear from you what happened in detail later. But for now, understand that I can't disconnect from you. Not until I become a True Celestial, at least," he said as he pointed to their crowns.

But neither of them was worried about it.

"All right."

"Better connected to you than with nothing to keep us together." Gloria sighed, remembering what seemed like decades to her since they had been separated from Minos and Abby.

Ruth understood her harem sister and said, "That wretch found us just after we had taken our first chance in Hell. Since then we've been forced to fight for him, travel through Hell and fight each other for his amusement."

Ruth pointed to the other minions that had previously belonged to such an enemy. "That was also the case with these others here. It seems that Hell has recruitment points not only in Uzira, but in several other places in the universe... No, several other universes."

"You learned about that, huh?" Minos already knew it.

Just as the Upper Realm did, Hell was also constantly looking for new members. The difference was that, while individuals like Devdar made complex inheritances and only took the winners of their tests into the Upper Realm, several individuals could enter Hell simultaneously, as Minos' group had done through Qhava's recruitment site.

Like Abby, Gloria, and Ruth, there were many others who didn't immediately fall into the Devils' clutches and became available to lesser beings, like the enemy Minos had killed today.

Gloria nodded positively, before asking, "And Abby?"

"Wasn't she with you?" He asked back, frowning his black eyebrows.

"No... Apparently she wasn't with you, either." Ruth sighed in realization.

"Sigh! Let's go look for her. But don't worry, she's alive. I can feel it the same way I knew you were."

"It doesn't mean she's okay, though." Gloria murmured in concern for her harem sister.
