The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2773 Mirror Dimension

Entering the portal to Hell was an experience unlike anything Minos had ever encountered. It felt as if his soul had been torn from his body and violently shaken, disassembling every aspect of his being—from his powers to the very essence of his True Celestial parts.

He found himself stripped bare in a way he had never imagined, momentarily setting aside the terrifying distortions around him to feel as though he was back at the beginning of his cultivation journey.

The only difference between him now and the 15-year-old who had started cultivating centuries ago was his appearance, which was now more mature and developed.

In that moment, Minos felt as if he were at level 0, devoid of any techniques, skills, or other cultivation gains he had amassed over his journey.

He felt helpless, vulnerable to anything.

Yet, he was not completely alone. His core essence, an indivisible part of him, remained with him.

His innate ability!

His soul also revealed that his level was not exactly 0, unlike when he was 15.

'That…' As the situation stabilized, he turned his attention to his surroundings.

Abby, Gloria, and Ruth were still by his side, each equally stunned by their circumstances, recalling a past as distant as the start of their cultivation paths.

Gradually, they observed their surroundings, realizing they had arrived in a place unlike any they had ever seen before.

This dimension resembled a mirrored box, yet they sensed that if they moved in any direction, they would find no boundaries. The place glimpsed earlier through the portal was entirely different from where they stood now. As they turned to look at the portal, they were unsurprised to see the spatial distortion vanish before their eyes.

Despite the strangeness of this dark, mirrored environment, they couldn't ignore the dense layer of energy and laws present, exerting a pressure on their spirit bodies.

"…" Abby attempted to speak, but no words emerged from her mouth.

'What is this? How does this place work?' she communicated mentally to her companions.

Fortunately, their mental communication remained intact.

As they surveyed the area, unable to answer not only Abby's questions but their own, they noticed something beyond their reflections.

From one of the many mirrored surfaces, souls emerged, drifting toward them. freewebnøvel.com

Minos watched as a soul, reminiscent of the first man he had killed on his journey, emerged from his reflection and floated toward him.

His eyes narrowed, and he felt something like déjà vu. Soon afterwards, more and more souls emerged from Minos' reflections, before little by little, souls also emerged from the reflections of his wives' images.

'It seems that all those we killed are appearing here!' Ruth identified the pattern as she remembered the faces of some of Minos' first dead and her own.

The other three realized this almost at the same time as her, when Minos went a little further, understanding what was going on.

'This isn't Hell. This place is a test,' he said to them.

'A test?'

'We probably have to defeat the souls we finish on our journeys before we can gain access to the real Hell.' Abby felt the same as her husband, noticing that the call she had felt earlier was still there.

The first souls attacked them, and they all moved to destroy them. However, these souls didn't have the strength they had when they had been killed. Something else was driving them, and each one seemed to have its own challenge.

The three women dealt with some difficulty against their opponents, but their concern was not themselves, but Minos.

He found himself in the terrible situation of being surrounded by a few thousand souls, each of whom could make him feel a little pain.

For the first time in his life, he felt a little of what regret should feel like.

'Shit! It hasn't even reached 0.0001% of those I've kept in my life!' He complained bitterly to his wives.

The three of them wanted to help him, but they were surrounded by enough opponents that they couldn't do anything for their companions.

'Think on the bright side,' Ruth said to Minos. 'At least they seem to have the same level of power. It would be terrible if their strength became greater as stronger souls appeared.'

Minos said nothing, but he agreed with Ruth.

But he wasn't totally without defenses. With his innate ability, he could still steal his opponents' powers and use them to his advantage.

He did what he had to, used his own opponents and gradually destroyed those in his way. The problem was the ever-increasing number of enemies, which sent him into a frenzy that prevented him from seeing the last enemy destroyed by each of his women.

When the three of them had defeated the last of their opponents, they magically disappeared from that mirrored space without Minos noticing.

Meanwhile, a creature unlike any other, with an extremely corporeal body and not just the semi-transparent spiritual bodies of those souls, appeared from behind one of the mirrors in the area.

This being was completely black, but unlike the rocks from earlier, it had lips, teeth, eyes, appendages, thorns, horns and various discernible body parts.

Its eyes, particularly striking, were as red as volcanic magma, glowing ever brighter as it watched the golden soul battle over many opponents.

One of the black creature's appendages lifted toward Minos, and its lips seemed to crack as it attempted to speak.

At that moment, Minos felt a chill in his soul and momentarily focused on the creature.

He realized his wives were no longer present, and he was alone with this entity.

'What is it?' he thought, observing the creature approaching him.

With each step it took, his power seemed to wane, and the souls attacking him retreated.

When it was just 5 meters from Minos, the creature halted, and a black crown emerged from its eyes.

Minos felt an overwhelming force pressing his body against the mirrored floor, and in an instant, he found himself on his knees before such a being.

A powerful female voice resonated from the creature's black lips. "Devdar's chosen one, change sides and join me in Hell. Under my tutelage, you shall become the new Absolute of Death and Destruction!"
