The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2344  Abduction Failed 

In the blink of an eye, 30 aliens from various planets and races witnessed Minos defeat the level 108 opponent and were equally shocked by the level 104 individual who had acted as bait for this attack.

However, after two high-level attacks, Minos stopped in front of the dead body of the level 108 alien and felt his cultivation drop to level 99.

Ruth and his ally remained one level stronger than usual, as the effects of Minos' enhancement would last for a few more moments.

Despite his weakening state, Minos maintained his serious demeanor. Upon noticing that he had captured the attention of the hostages in the area, he declared, "Enemies are attempting to take over our spaceship. If we allow them, they could transport us anywhere in the universe and end our lives. However, these enemies are not strong enough to overpower the crew. Their plan involves using us as hostages to coerce the crew into surrendering. But if we thwart them, we can foil this kidnapping!"

Hearing Minos' confident tone, the aliens nearby felt a mix of unease and alertness, recognizing that the enemies were formidable. Concerned about the potential takeover of the ship, one of them asked, "How many enemies are there? How strong are they? We only saw the one enemy you killed."

Minos replied, "That was the second enemy I killed. Besides him, there are four more at the same level, two at level 111 and one at level 114."

"A peak Sovereign?" Someone asked in awe.

Minos reminded them of something important. "Do not forget that our captain is a level 114 Sovereign himself. His crew also consists of a level 112 Sovereign and several mid-level Sovereigns.

As long as we take down the four remaining level 108 Sovereigns, we'll be able to thwart the enemy's plans!"

From this perspective, the terrified creatures felt that they truly had a chance. Minos had already defeated two level 108 beings, so surely they could overcome the remaining four together, right?

"So what should we do? Not everyone here is a warrior like you, a winged creature," said one of the many aliens present.

"You don't know me, but I have participated in several wars. If you can temporarily follow my orders, we can collaborate to defeat the three adversaries," Minos stated confidently.

"Two of them are currently holding the food court, while the last ones are on the fourth level of the ship. This uprising will likely be quelled if we can defeat them together."

Some were still very scared, but Minos had been very reasonable and convincing in his words. Imagining that they could fight together and act more or less better under his leadership, most of these creatures swallowed their fears and placed themselves at the man's disposal.

Minos nodded in recognition of these brave individuals and said. "At the next level, it will be more difficult for us to act as my group did against the dead opponent here." He pointed at the creature. "But we are more numerous. We will attack them head-on. Those with long-range offensive skills will attack as soon as the enemy moves against us. Those with defensive skills will stand beside our attackers to defend them.

Meanwhile, those with support skills will stay in the back to help the defenders, attackers, and hostages of these two enemies.

I'll do the dirty work as soon as I see the opportunity."

Everyone agreed and quickly split up according to Minos' plans.

In less than two minutes since the level 108 alien died, the group moved in formation toward the third floor, which was accessible to the passengers of Starship 666.

It wasn't a long way, and with Minos using his Bright Eyes ability at all times, they were soon on the stairs, preparing to attack the enemies about 80 meters away.

As Minos had said, they could not use the same strategy as before. When they reached this floor, they appeared with clear fighting intentions.

The two level 108 individuals, who were responsible for holding more than 40 passengers hostage, saw this large group running and shouting at them as soon as they passed the entrance to the third floor.

The two of them were surprised by this strange situation. There were too many people there, considering that their companions were supposed to be on levels 1 and 2 of the ship.

But they didn't ask any questions. Seeing these creatures, one of them stood next to the more than 40 hostages, while the other one moved with the intention of taking down the majority of them and regaining his group's control over these passengers.

The aliens under Minos' command did as he had planned. As soon as the enemy moved, those with long-range offensive capabilities attacked. At the same time, the remaining individuals positioned themselves in defense of the attackers or in support of the group. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Some of the strongest of the group of more than 40 hostages felt their injuries and strength suddenly improve without anyone telling them what was going on.

As soon as one of the level 108 Sovereigns attacked and defended against the many new enemies that had arrived at that level, the aliens at the edge of the food court began to rise up against the remaining enemy to take care of them.

"Shit! These bastards are rebelling!" shouted the second alien trying to take control of Starship 666.

As the two allies trying to take over this level stood with their backs to each other, unable to do much to help each other as they had to worry about the dozens of enemies turning on them, Minos stepped in.

He quickly strengthened some of the strongest passengers while using his wings to fly closer to one of the two opponents.

As long as he took out one more enemy, dealing with the second enemy in this area would be easy. As for the last ones, who were holding a group of 20 hostages on the fourth floor, they would be the least problematic of all.

With more and more passengers on his side, Minos wouldn't even have to be the most active of the group trying to defend the spaceship against those trying to hijack it!

Without realizing it, the kidnappers failed in their mission, losing control of the passengers they so desperately needed to threaten the crew not to attack them.

However, amid the passengers' revolt, the strongest of the enemies were currently fighting the three high-ranking Sovereigns trying to take over the ship.

In particular, the capital was currently exchanging blows with the level 114 opponent.

"Give it up, captain! My men are holding your precious passengers! If you and your person threaten the lives of my companions, our subordinates will start killing your passengers!" said the level 114 opponent, unaware of his group's real situation.
