After Minos left, in a matter of minutes, the center of the beautiful capital of Blackrock, just moments ago immaculate, was transformed into an almost completely destroyed place.
Not only had the evolution of Chaotic Gravity destroyed several buildings to create the meteors he used to attack the hundreds of Spiritual Saints surrounding him. The result of that attack also produced drastic consequences for that city.
The strongest Spiritual Saints of that kingdom suffered the worst consequences, having withstood most of the attack power of Minos' blow. But various fragments remaining from the large rock clusters hit different parts of that city.
So now this city looked like a typical abandoned environment after a great battle, where only the smoke and the people gave a hint that this was the home of millions of people.
The casualties of this event would not be great. Still, many had been affected by their workplaces which were destroyed or homes ruined.
But in the midst of this, the Spiritual Saints who had previously been flying around in the surrounding area, protecting the city of Minos, were the most affected of all.
No one had died from Minos' attack. Still, several of the strongest, including the King himself, had suffered immense damage, to the point that some did not even know if they would ever recover.
Emperor Stuart had not used lethal force at Vogel, so everyone there could eventually recover. But in Blackrock, a place that had stood against him voicing every word necessary, he had used it.
The consequence was precisely what dozens of specialists in that city were feeling at the moment!
...
"Disgrace!"
"How did this happen? How did that damned Minos become so strong in such a short time?" The King screamed as he felt one of his legs crushed.
At the same time, the royal family doctors near the sovereign were all with pale faces, for the first time in centuries seeing this man so badly injured.
Currently, King Blackrock was the strongest of the enemy states of the Flaming Empire, being at level 78, with his more than 4,000 years old. But even at this level, he had been seriously injured by Minos, and now the local experts were unable to help this person.
There were even treatments for him, but for that, he would have to spend vast fortunes hiring specialists from the Evergreen Empire.
Since this was the kind of thing that was difficult to get, Minos had made sure that Blackrock would have its foremost warrior weakened for at least a few years.
That might not be much for these states and experienced experts, but for the Black Plain Empire and the 'young' Minos, that was enough for him to grow uncontrolled.
As such, everyone around the King had ugly expressions on their faces, seeing how they had lost to Minos before a conflict between the parties had even begun.
"What are we going to do now? More than half of our forces have been seriously injured... Even if many of our experts recover someday, at least for the next two or three years, we will be vulnerable to all kinds of threats!" A level 76 elder who was not there at the time of the worst said, feeling at a dead end.
The situation was really dire!
At how many times in a state's history would it have more than 70% of its experts injured and incapacitated for battle?
Not only that, Blackrock was not only unable to protect itself, but it was also in a great state of vulnerability from having the Flaming Empire on its tail. But at the same time, that state now also had the Black Plain nearby, 'looking' strangely at it.
People from the royal family then closed their eyes at the thought of this situation and made a regretful expressions.
'Damn it!'
'Our situation now is so bad that the best case scenario might be for us to submit to Black Plain in exchange for its protection!'
...
Three days later...
After departing from the capital of Blackrock, Minos headed through that state towards the Flaming Empire, but in no hurry. He had plenty of time until the meeting of local leaders in Isabella's state.
With that said, he was still in Blackrock, in a large forested region dominated by beasts.
"Well, I'm going to disappear temporarily." Minos said to a scaled creature, which was in front of him, looking at him as if it were face-to-face with its god.
But it was not for nothing. Minos had saved this creature hours ago while three other beasts at levels 75, 76, and 77 had attacked it. In that situation, this creature with four legs, an elongated jaw, and many sharp teeth in its mouth had almost died.
Minos had not rescued it out of generosity but because he had been involved in the attack by those three individuals.
After rescuing such a creature, he took the opportunity to get a guide and a mount.
"All right, master." That dark green being said in a tone filled with reverence.
Then Minos disappeared from the area, leaving for the Spatial Kingdom, where his women were waiting for him.
Zum!
...
Just then, Minos appeared in the Spatial Kingdom, where before he even looked at the various people there, he paid attention to the direction of the giant beast skeleton over there.
Since he had advanced to the 8th stage and improved the quality of his Physique, Minos had immediately felt something different after visiting the Spatial Kingdom.
In this situation, once again, he felt the flow of spiritual energy within the bones of the great skeleton 'resting' in one of the corners of the training area of this shrine.
He had already felt a light connection with these bones before. Still, currently, the feeling had significantly increased, and he almost felt he could control them.
From what he felt, not only could controlling such things happen in the future, but he also felt that he could somehow communicate with it!
As such, seeing it as he reappeared in the Spatial Kingdom, he looked at it once again, feeling anxious about the future.
'Hmm, I believe I won't need to evolve my Physique to achieve some control over it... As long as my level keeps improving, I'll be able to do that and more.' He thought before finally looking at the various people training there.
Then a young girl, half the size of Minos, started running towards him, shouting at him.
"Daddy! Daddy!" Sarah ran from where Kyla and Emlyn were lying near those bones.
At the same time, Minos saw Abby and Ruth meditating in the distance while Gloria was fighting with some elders of the Gray Clouds Sect there in that space.
"Hmm, you are getting bigger every day, Sarah. What is your mother feeding you?" Minos played with his daughter as he took her in his arms and lifted her up.
Sarah laughed, soon telling her father several things as she enjoyed being around this man who occasionally had to go out to dangerous places she could not go.
Minos would stay the next five days cultivating and training in the Spatial Kingdom, helping his subordinates and family get stronger, and maintaining the fatherly presence that Sarah needed.
After this period, he would leave to return to the forest region from which he had departed.
