The Rise of the Black Plain

The moment Minos saw a level 108 creature with the body of a snail and the head of a serpent attacking a level 104 Sovereign to neutralize the strongest in the area, he didn't hesitate. He instinctively borrowed the cultivation power from his level 102 companion and boosted his own to level 100.

He had already spread his wings, and his body had grown several times its original size with the activation of his Soul Avatar.

The Divine Sword materialized in his hands as he approached the level 108 alien, who was oblivious to his presence.

Minos then made a horizontal swing with his sword, slashing at the creature's neck.

For a moment, the snail-bodied snake turned back, caught off guard by the attack, while the level 104 Sovereign seized the opportunity to retreat from the enemy that would surely overwhelm him if he did not flee.

But while these two were thinking about how crazy this young man must have been to attack someone so many levels above him, they both noticed that there was something wrong with this situation.

Minos was at level 100, but his attack seemed as strong as the final attack of a level 107 Sovereign of this galaxy!

Since Minos had cultivated and learned in Zocarro, a place superior to the home worlds of the two individuals in front of him, he was naturally much more powerful in this realm than he would have been in Zocarro.

For the serpent with the body of a snail, ignoring the presence of Minos around him had been his biggest mistake. As he tried to increase the power of his body's defenses, he felt Minos' sword slash through his neck.

The attack wasn't enough to kill her in one blow, but it did a lot of damage to the creature, something that might kill it later and would certainly weaken it in the short term.

'No!' This creature despaired as it felt a yellowish liquid coming out of its neck while Minos' two wings moved to penetrate its snail body.

But he didn't know anything about his opponent's abilities. Without realizing it, this creature became much weaker than he should have been as he felt the Devouring Art draining his energy, while Nullification weakened his attempt to defend himself.

In just 15 seconds, Minos mortally wounded his opponent before using his wings to penetrate the body, causing the creature's snail body to explode like fragile jelly.

The level 108 creature died at the wings of Minos!

"Fuck! How is that possible?" The level 104 Alien asked in shock as he felt a yellow liquid coming out of that serpent-headed slug and fouling his body.

Meanwhile, Ruth and their Spiritual World companion were already positioned around the corridor; she was at level 101, and he was at level 103.

Minos had been strategic. Before he struck down the level 108 creature, that being was already severely weakened and unable to defend against his innate ability.

By harnessing the cultivation from this creature, he not only facilitated his own victory but also enhanced the cultivation levels of his two companions.

As he stood over the defeated creature's corpse, Minos realized they had more enemies to confront.

Employing his special ability, Bright Eyes, Minos could see through the layers of the ship and swiftly identified five level 108 beings who were companions of the creature at his feet, as well as two at level 111 and one at level 114.

At that moment, the level 114 individual was attacking the crew of the spaceship, while the captain was moving toward him, having already realized the problem.

At the same time, the others were taking hostages on the four levels of the ship that were common to the passengers.

'This group won't be able to accomplish their goal if they don't have hostages. Without someone for them to use as protection against the crew, almost all of them will die!' Minos pondered the situation and realized that if they didn't act to prevent the enemies from getting hostages, the situation could become very bad for everyone there.

"Let's move. There's another enemy of the same level as that slug at the entrance on the level above us." Minos said to his two companions, but the level 104 creature was also shocked by the situation.

"Are you crazy? Acting against this group will be too dangerous!" The Sovereign said to Minos.

"If we don't do this, the ship will be taken, and no one can predict what will happen to us," Minos said as he stood in front of the stairs leading to the upper level. "But if you come with us, I assure you that I will temporarily strengthen you, and you will have the full support of my doctor."

The alien looked at Ruth, quickly noticing the woman's strong life force.

He didn't want to fight, but on second thought, it was better that a group with unknown goals didn't take over the ship!

"All right."

With that, the four of them moved on to the next level, where the sounds of battle could be heard.

However, the situation on the upper levels was quite different from what had just happened to Minos and his companions. The enemies were stronger than 80% of the passengers, so many people were simply overwhelmed without a chance to fight back.

Some put up a little more resistance, but even so, they were quickly weakened.

Although most of the passengers had come from Zocarro at the beginning of the journey, a world much stronger than the one the current enemies came from, most of them had already disembarked.

The few that remained were low-level 11th stage beings, weak enough to be intimidated by these mid-level Sovereigns.

In this context, the group that tried to take over this spaceship was doing better than anyone could have imagined, considering that they were fewer in number and weaker than the crew behind this spaceship.

However, it wouldn't be that easy for them to take over Starship 666!

As soon as he reached the upper level from where he had been with his allies earlier, Minos immediately moved against the level 108 Sovereign closest to them.

Approaching the enemy with a group of already defeated hostages, Minos pretended to duck while his temporary level 104 ally pretended to attack.

When the level 108 enemy realized the problem and turned his attention to the level 105 creature, Minos moved quickly and used his wings to slash through the body of another enemy who had neglected him.

The hostage creatures in the area were startled by Minos' sudden action, but when they felt something full of life connect with them, some of them realized what this was all about.

That was an uprising against the kidnappers!

"Aaaaaagh!"

Minos' enemy screamed in pain as he was taken by surprise. He did not expect someone capable of hurting him to appear so suddenly, hidden by the aura of a mere level 100 Sovereign!
