The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2370  Back to The Adamant Land

One month later...

After traveling through the universal wormhole built by the Mechanic Empire, the group arrived smoothly at the former headquarters of the forces previously controlling The Adamant Land.

As soon as they arrived in another quasi-Spatial Kingdom created from the black holes of Minos, the group disembarked from their spaceship, with Vico, Abby and Gloria keeping a close eye on their surroundings, obviously curious about this new place for them.

For many years they had thought about this planet, what it should be like and the native civilization. However, as they passed through one barrier of the quasi-Spatial Kingdom of Minos, they saw two level 103 Sovereigns waiting for them, while no other intelligent creatures remained on the entire planet.

They couldn't say that every living thing on this planet had been exterminated by arriving there, but given what they already knew about the two men from Minos waiting for them, coming to that conclusion wasn't difficult.

As the three of them set foot on this world for the first time and looked at the abandoned or destroyed buildings in the surrounding area, the two level 103 Sovereigns noticed the arrival of Minos' group after just over three months since they arrived in The Adamant Land.

That time had been enough for them to interrogate and then exterminate the enemies from Irpoll and the slaves from that civilization, natives of The Adamant Land.

For the last six weeks, they had been waiting quietly for Minos, with everything they needed to move forward with the end of the War of the Worlds.

"Your Majesty." The two stood up, making their way closer to Minos. They noticed Vico and Minos' two wives there, and thought that, somehow, the civilization of the Spiritual World had held off the enemies long enough to be saved.

Minos informed the two, aware that they must be curious. "The War of the Worlds in the Spiritual World is over. My group has exterminated all the aliens who were in our homeland. Luckily, a fraction of the natives on the planet were still resisting the aliens."

"A fraction?" The level 103 human, an old acquaintance of Vico's, asked as he looked at this blond man. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"About 20% or 30% of the natives survived the war." Vico said with regret in his voice.

The man clenched his fists, deeply regretting the information.

This was definitely better than the worst-case scenario they had predicted, but it was still shocking.

"Only His Majesty Vico survived among our Gods?" He asked Minos.

"Aurae and Callie also survived. All the others died," Minos said in a heavy tone, his voice filled with sorrow as he lamented the countless losses of his people.

"I see... It's a shame," the man closed his eyes in lamentation.

"You'll understand the entire story as we travel to Irpoll. After we've finished this leg of our journey, we'll all go back to the Spiritual World together to lay the foundations for the future of my world before we start our journey back to Zacorro," Minos said, without asking what had happened on that planet.

The robot then said. "Besides Irpoll, we have four planets that we need to visit before returning to the Spiritual World, Your Majesty. These four civilizations have the potential to turn against your home planet in the future, so they need to be dominated before we leave."

"We'll deal with them after we finish Irpoll. How much do we know about these worlds?" Minos asked.

He knew Irpoll was a more hard place to deal with than The Adamant Land, so he would take his entire group with him. But depending on the situation on those other four planets, he wouldn't mind splitting his team into four and each going to one of those planets.

"These are weak civilizations that have been dominated by the Mechanic Empire in the past, Your Majesty," the robot commented. "They are in relatively weak galaxies and hardly have any level 100 cultivators in their forces."

"Very well, after we've dealt with Irpoll, you two will head off to different planets and Ruth and I will deal with the two that remain. For now, we're going to Irpoll. I want to use our combined power to destroy the wormhole that connects this world to that planet after our journey is over."

It was possible to destroy space paths, but normally nobody would do that, because such tunnels were an important means of traveling quickly between different parts of the universe. However, the galaxy of Irpoll was stronger than the galaxies where the Spiritual World and The Adamant Land were. In order to prevent his people from meeting powerful civilizations in the future, Minos intended to deal a brutal blow to Irpoll and then destroy the universal wormhole connecting that civilization and The Adamant Land.

With two level 103 Sovereigns, he and Ruth, it would be easy to do that!

The entire group agreed with his decision, while Vico couldn't help asking about the planet they were on. "What will happen to The Adamant Land? I can sense that this planet is a little stronger than the Spiritual World."

"It will be the base of my galactic empire. It will also be an entrepôt for those interested in going to stronger places in the universe. From here, we can easily leave for powerful parts of the galaxy and reach places where one can cultivate a few levels above level 100. Anyway, when we get back to the Spiritual World, I'll establish a group of a few hundred thousand people to come here." Minos replied, having already ordered a group from his government to plan such a thing for him.

His empire couldn't do everything on its own, so he would allow other states, tribes and organizations to join his army in this endeavor.

Abby looked at the level 103 robot and asked Minos. "Don't you intend to use others like him? Why don't I see more like him around here?"

Minos smiled when he heard that. "We don't need to at the moment. But you're right, I will use them."

The robot informed Abby. "I haven't completely destroyed the empire's robots, Your Majesty. Their bodies are gathered together, waiting for His Majesty's 'magic touch' to bring them back to life.

When he eventually can revive them, there could be over 200 robots in the empire's possession, spanning levels 95 to 99. Unfortunately, my level 100 brothers were completely exterminated by Irpoll."

The group understood Minos' objectives and soon headed for the quasi-Spatial Kingdom, where all the wormholes were that they could use to reach Irpoll or the other four planets.

They boarded the spaceship and were soon on their way to the civilization of the druidic apes!

With nine weeks of travel ahead of them, they would talk about everything that had happened in the Spiritual World and The Adamant Land on their journey to Irpoll.
