In the skies above the area where Minos' group was, a dark cloud was flickering while something that looked like eyes looked down.
'That feeling is that of a God!' This thing observed Minos, feeling the reverence that naturally anyone would have toward anything related to the 11th stage.
'Who is he? Some heir to a divine legacy? Why does he have such a powerful aura with him?' It looked at Minos with interest while feeling helpless, as if something forced it to bow its head to him.
'Did he force his way here? I don't feel a connection with him...'
As it watched in Minos' direction, this young man and his group began to move toward the area where the enemies should be approaching them.
As they did so, the tens of thousands of skeletons were already following a specific formation, obeying Minos' orders.
And seeing how the only two candidates for this inheritance seemed submissive to Minos, that dark cloud could not help but sigh.
'Well, luckily, this person won't get in the way of my plans and make me waste millions of years of waiting...'
After that, the cloud in question cleared away, leaving nothing to indicate its presence behind.
...
After some time, the group led by Minos arrived in the vicinity of the opposing team, which had almost 15,000 individuals.
Many of the opponents and allies in this place were in different locations, scattered throughout this large graveyard. However, most of the innocents and subordinates of the God of Death were near this area, where the great tragedy of the Goddess of Life's homeland had happened.
Because of this, Minos had not divided his group and planned to eliminate each enemy group without splitting his forces.
This strategy had a downside. For example, those innocent skeletons away from this group would not have their protection and would probably 'die' again when facing their opponents.
But since Minos already knew that many of them would fail in one way or another, he had decided to abandon a minority of these skeletons. In this way, he would use the collective strength of that large group in the coming battles to solve this problem quickly.
In doing so, he could ensure a higher 'survival' rate among these poor innocents and a greater quantity of the energy released by the enemies to Abby.
Thus, he flew alongside his wife, followed by Wilfred and the subordinate skeletons of the Goddess of Life, while the tens of thousands of innocents ran in different groups behind them.
"Sir, what do I do to quit after this test?" Wilfred asked as he looked at one of the skeletons in front of him.
Upon hearing that, the skeleton in red armor looked at Wilfred, and even though it had no facial expressions, it made an unmistakable gesture that showed its disappointment. 'This fellow is a disgrace...'
'And to think that someone like that would have the courage to start an inheritance like this...'
"Well, when the test is completed, something will happen, and you will have the option to quit. So, don't worry about it too much. You'll know what to do." He said solemnly, regretting that Wilfred was a competitor, not Minos.
After a few moments, this group finally ran into the enemy group, stopping face to face, about 5 kilometers away from each other.
"Looks like the losers have come to die for a second time, huh?" A skeleton riding what appeared to be a bone elephant said in an arrogant tone, glaring at the enemy group.
"We are in the cursed inheritance of the Goddess of Life, but we will fulfill our role..." Then, one of them said, not bothering to be used by an enemy, "Let's get in the way of this as much as possible by killing that bitch's candidates!"
"Hahaha, let's show her how we'll defeat her followers again!"
"Hey! Don't you guys feel bad? Your beloved Goddess did all this just for you to die again... How cruel isn't that?"
"Tsk!"
"Shut up!"
"God of Death's dogs, we'll settle our differences today!" The city lord said in an angry tone.
"Today, we will cleanse our honor with your diabolical bones! Then, we will finally send you to the underworld, where your leader is this instant!"
Minos and Abby watched the exchange of offenses, seeing some of the hatred of the forces of two mortal enemies from millions of years ago.
"I guess we will have some enemies like that in the future..." Minos commented in a humorous tone as he winked at his wife.
He might not be as terrible as the God of Death, but his enemies saw him as being just as evil.
That way, it was only a matter of time for Minos to gain a similar hatred as these skeletons, who could not overcome their rivalries even in death.
Abby laughed. "I think we already have, my love."
"Really? I think there is little time for that..." He laughed. "Only time will show who, in fact, is an irreconcilable enemy..." He said as he remembered Misty.
Misty was supposed to hate him since he had killed her first husband and then her brother-in-law/lover. But she had developed her hatred in a storage way, falling in love with him, having already been overwhelmed by the pleasures that only he could provide.
Hence, Minos did not think he had enemies like that for the moment since only time could develop something of that level.
Abby nodded in agreement and watched her man step forward. "Well, if you hate each other so much, why don't we just fight?"
Hearing him, the skeletons in his group immediately began to get more serious, preparing themselves psychologically to begin the battle.
As for the enemies, they could not help but look in the direction of that level 61 Spiritual Emperor.
"Who is that? He doesn't seem to be related to the Goddess of Life." Some of them were surprised at seeing such a person in this place.
One of the leaders of the God of Death group then said. "Kid, if you change sides, we'll give you the probable location of our glorious leader's inheritance!"
"How about that? We have no reason to be enemies!"
Minos ignored the questions of those beings and continued flying toward the strongest ones there, his initial targets.
Devouring Art!
Infinite Dream!
With that, he soon used his mental technique against the one who had made the previous proposal to him, curious to find out about such a thing. 'I can find out about such a thing on my own. I don't need to do anything for you!'
And with that, such a skeleton found himself in a lava world, where he soon began to be mentally tortured by Minos, even though this young man was fighting with everything outside this dream.
"Tell me where this place is, and I'll give you a quick death." He said as he floated on top of that opponent.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Ahhhhhh!" The skeleton screamed in pain, not understanding how it could feel so bad, even though it did not have much of its body.
But unfortunately for this creature, the illusion created by Minos' technique could even recreate nerve connections, making its victims believe perfectly well things that should not be possible.
Thus, it felt its skin burning, even though it no longer had any skin on its body!
"Come on, just tell the truth right away, and everything will be over..." Minos calmly said as he felt the sensations of the battle in reality. "Your group will soon be exterminated. You do not wish to be the last, right?"
"Ahhhh!"
"I will speak! I will speak!"
"But you will regret it, brat! The God of Death will sense your connection to the cursed Goddess of Life!" It said in terror while its white jaw trembled.
