The Rise of the Black Plain

After more than a year in the miraculous cave, Maximilian opened his eyes and felt his cultivation base at a new level!

When he reached level 101, he felt his level 100 strength increase by more than twice the energy of a level 99 Demigod.

That was impressive!

Most Demigods needed at least a few millennia to reach level 99. But after Maximilian arrived in Zocarro, he only needed about 3 years to cultivate more than twice as much as a level 99 Spiritual World Demigod would normally cultivate in a few millennia!

Considering that he was already a Sovereign, someone whose strength was ridiculously greater than that of level 99 Demigods, this was an important addition for him to differentiate himself in this world!

He smiled in satisfaction, immediately feeling less doubt about his previous thoughts of staying in Zocarro longer or even never returning to the Spiritual World.

'Now, I'm the strongest Spiritualual World native in history!' He vibrated with happiness while he couldn't help but remember his old rival, Maximus.

'Tsk! You died in the Spiritual World, old man. But I'm going to live a completely different story!' He got up from where he had spent all his time cultivating.

Just as he was about to leave this area and return to the rest of his group, he felt the auras of four new Gods, or rather, the auras of four new Sovereigns in the group.

"It seems that Minos has succeeded in his plans." He smiled as he reached where half of the group was meditating, waiting for him.

When he arrived there, he met two human Gods, one from Sista and the other from the Western Empire.

The strongest Demigods in Minos' group, when they left the Spiritual World, were obviously not all members of the Black Plain Army.

There was no trouble in the area when they left, and soon they were back on the roads of that region, heading for Examire more than a year behind their original plans.

Fortunately, the group had no deadlines to meet, only the need to strengthen themselves.

They wanted to find ways to learn more about this world to know how to return to their mission concerning the war in the Spiritual World, but for that, they had to become stronger, which they had done during that time.

So when they returned to the road, none of them felt that they had wasted their time or were too late.

Besides, they were only a few months away from Examire, so they would soon reach the city Strin had recommended for them to get a better understanding of this vast world.

Time would begin to pass quicker for them, and they would soon approach their destination without dealing with too many problems along the way.

Demigods were already beings with above-average powers in Zocarro. But with 5 Sovereigns in the group, one of whom was at level 101, the amount of problems that could arise for the group was far less than it would have been if they had ignored the previous cave.

Therefore, they wouldn't have any battles to test their strength until they were very close to their destination city.

When they were about to complete 4 years since their arrival in Zocarro, they would finally reach Examire, one of the most space explorer-friendly cities on the Oqia continent!

Just before reaching this city, the party stopped at a place where they could see the silhouette of this huge international city so that Ruth could meditate on her advancement to level 94.

Shortly after consolidating her power at the same level as her husband for the first time in a long time, the group would come across the deepest contact they had ever had with stronger Sovereigns!

...

While Minos' group was in the area where Ruth had just finished advancing, four alien beings approached where they stood.

Among them was a level 106 creature!
