When he appeared back in the forest he had left earlier, Minos found the dark-green-scaled beast waiting for him in the same position as before.
However, when he appeared from where he had left, Emperor Stuart immediately encountered six other powerful beasts from this area of Blackrock.
All of them were of the same species as the beings he had attacked when he saved that individual's life days ago, just as strong as the ones he had killed.
Realizing that they were there to see him because of that situation, Minos immediately released his aura as he arrived from the Spatial Kingdom.
"Are you here for revenge? If you are, prepare to reach the same fate as the fools who involved me in the attack against Little Green." He said as he referred to the large beast 12 meters long, 4 meters wide, and 3 meters high that stood in front of him, waiting for him.
The moment those words were spoken, and the Dark Sea appeared to startle each of those creatures, the six individuals felt their spines creep up, with even their souls vibrating in terror.
"This is a mistake, Your Excellency!" One of them shouted in a somewhat agitated manner. "We are not seeking revenge!"
"Yes, we have come here to ask forgiveness for the attitude of our tribe members! They did not recognize your greatness in time and committed a great sin!"
"That's right!"
"They all got the fate they deserved!" A bipedal being covered in white fur said while the others shook their heads in support.
Those who had attacked the dark green being in front of Minos were the leaders of the tribes of these six elders. But the past relations between them no longer mattered regardless of whether they had been subordinate laws or the opposite. The moment a stronger being came along and killed them, they had ceased to be what they were, to become the terrible ones capable of attacking 'His Excellency.'
The stronger one was necessarily a hero to be defended and acclaimed, while the defeated and weaker one was a vile being destined for the worst.
Beasts, more than all other beings in this world, took this seriously, and those elders were there to demonstrate their ability to abandon their former leaders in order not to be involved in any kind of persecution from Minos.
With that, they had been there for more than four days waiting for Emperor Stuart, along with the gifts they had prepared to give Minos as a form of retribution.
"Oh?" Minos lessened the power of his aura on those beings, noting how good it was to be powerful and not have to solve everything violently. "I see that you are wise creatures of noble gestures."
He then used Chaotic Gravity to draw every present in the surrounding area toward his spatial ring. "I accept your gesture, and in return, I invite you to visit my state and homeland."
The creatures there were impressed to feel Minos' spatial manipulation skills. Still, they were all satisfied with this human's cordial words.
"To know your homeland would be magnificent!"
"Yes, I look forward to traveling there..."
"Where would that be, Master?" The large being with dark green scales asked, interested in knowing Minos' homeland.
Minos smiled and said. "I come from the Black Plain Empire. My home is in Dry City, where our doors are open to magnificent creatures like you."
"Anyone who wants to visit us just has to follow the local rules and say you are there for me. I am sure you will not be treated badly." He made his propaganda. "In case anyone here wanted to move into my territory, my army has spaces for beasts like you."
Some of these beasts had never heard of the Black Plain before. Still, even considering that Minos did not have such a wealthy background, his level was enough for them to disregard his homeland.
As such, immediately after he finished speaking, they promised to visit him in the Black Plain while the great being saved by Minos vowed to serve and accompany him.
But Minos had already heard that in the past few days since that beast should have died but had been saved by someone of a much higher level than it. So it was only natural that it would be somewhat reverent to him.
As someone searching for more powerful subordinates, Minos refused none of the promises of those beings, accepting them even if some were not so serious.
With that settled, Minos would leave that area next to the great being at level 76 after a big barbecue with the other beasts, which was the traditional custom that beasts would do when making peace among themselves.
Eat!
Anyway, now that he had finished his business in Blackrock, Minos returned with his route to the Flaming Empire, heading for the border of these two states.
This time he would pass through a different area. Still, he would get the attention of everyone on the border anyway since he was very famous in the area and had a very high fighting level.
He was with a level 76 mount, which was no small thing either!
At the same time, he crossed between states through the territory of his Gray Clouds Sect, and for this reason, he was also recognized by many individuals on the battlefield.
...
In Clouds City ...
In this place, the headquarters of the Gray Clouds Sect, the high-level elders who were around there were currently living in anticipation of leaving this place and going to the Black Plain to take advantage of the opportunities there.
They all already had Soul Contracts with Minos and knew about the Spatial Kingdom. But not only that, they had something as valuable as information. They had proof of what that place could do!
Only Oswald, in the entire Gray Clouds Sect, had reached level 79 in his generation as sect master. But with only a few years under Minos, that organization had already reached the number of two elders at that level, even considering the departure of the previous sect master!
At the same time, all the Spiritual Saints who went to the Black Plain Empire and stayed there for at least two years had achieved level improvements.
So even the elders not so favorable to Minos when Oswald abdicated his position years ago were now firmly supporting him.
Some had even forgotten what happened between Minos and Lance, with the Terry family clamoring how right the previous sect master's decision to pass on his position to his grandson had been.
Anyway, nowadays, the headquarters of the Gray Clouds Sect was no longer the main post of this organization, although officially, it was.
In practice, the most important place for this force was already the Black Plain.
But whether it was the most important place or not, this post was relevant to Minos' interests. And in his absence, number two in the Coleman family, a level 79 elder, had been leading that place on his behalf.
Just at this moment, he was leading a meeting among the high-level elders of that power.
"... My friends, I have good news to give you."
"With the arrival of the great gathering of local leaders, His Majesty, our sect master, will be in the Empire and will give several of us a chance to get to know the Spatial Kingdom!"
