KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The instant the Black Hole Bomb exploded, a flash appeared in that area where the Spiritual Saints and Minos' group had previously been.
With that flash, everything that existed for tens of kilometers was erased from existence; not even dust remained from the bodies charred by that intense light.
All the Spiritual Saints there, be they humans or beasts, died in the blink of an eye, unbelieving that they could be destroyed so easily at their level.
At the same time as the people causing this situation died, all the trees, rocks, and everything in that area were destroyed by the gigantic explosion of Minos' mass destruction weapon.
At first, after the destructive light annihilated everything within a radius of tens of kilometers, the shockwave spread for hundreds of kilometers in a matter of seconds, causing chaos in the vicinity of that area.
Because of this, all the cultivators below the 8th stage fighting on the battlefield of Rosser's border with the Flaming Empire were killed mercilessly by Minos' weapon.
But unlike the culprits of the situation, the other victims of Minos' weapon had left shattered bodies behind, along with totally razed forests.
Following these catastrophic effects, earthquakes spread from the focus of the explosion to thousands of kilometers away, slowly alerting the most distant experts of this shocking explosion!
...
In the capital of Rosser...
At this instant, this entire city that looked like a single building began to shake, with many citizens holding on to whatever they could find in their way so as not to fall, both in the streets and in their homes.
Along with the millions of citizens taken by surprise by the strong earthquake just now, the Spiritual Saints of this place soon realized something was wrong.
"What is it?" One of them, in the Spiritual Church temple, asked aloud as he looked toward where the focal point of this earthquake was coming from.
At the same time that such an individual was wondering, in the local royal palace, the queen was looking at the clouds in the sky, which were being pushed by the wave of smoke and dust coming from the southeast of her city.
"That..." She clenched her fists, afraid that this might indicate the beginning of an attack by the Flaming Empire!
But not only was she worried about that!
...
On the other side of the border, in a camp of troops of the Flaming Empire's imperial army...
At this instant, some of the individuals in that camp, who had been quickly formed due to the emperor's orders, were standing outside their tents, looking at the flash that had appeared on the horizon a few moments ago.
"Did you guys see that?" One of the strongest there asked with a look of terror in his eyes.
"Hmmm, for a few moments, something as bright as a star appeared in the northwest direction, having even eclipsed the star that illuminates our world!" Someone said that as he could not believe that he had had the opportunity to see something so unusual.
But while the Spiritual Saints were talking about such a thing that could even threaten the life of the strongest of them, some Spiritual Emperors there were screaming in terror.
"Ahhhh! My eyes! I can't see! I can't see!"
Someone clutched his head with his two hands, panicking that he could no longer see anything after observing the previous phenomenon.
Many there were suffering from the same problem since the brightness of the previous explosion had been so intense that those in this area who were below level 70 and observed it had their retinas burned out!
Some Spiritual Saints noticed their companions' desperation and began to feel bad about it all.
"Quick, fall back! Fall back!"
"Whatever happened at the border, that is coming here!" One of the camp's leaders shouted with all his breath, feeling that such a thing would cause even more trouble for them.
And with that, the individuals in this place soon began to move, delaying the emperor's plans.
...
Meanwhile, in the capital of Vogel...
"Hmmm?" The Spiritual Sage, who was there to lead the regency of the Church in that state, looked in the direction of where the incredible explosion had happened.
'What is this disturbance? Did some high-level Spiritual Saint sacrifice himself at the border?' He wondered as he got up from his seat to go and see what had happened.
The borders of Vogel and Rosser with the Flaming Empire were not that far from each other, so instead of thinking that something had happened in Rosser, this Spiritual Sage thought that someone else was challenging the Church in Vogel.
'Let's see what happened...'
...
Flaming Empire, northwest region, Holy Sect...
In the headquarters of this high-level organization, the stronger individuals also felt the lingering effects coming from the border with Rosser, promptly noticing that something shocking had happened.
"I wonder what happened?" A woman asked the old elder, who had just come out of his meditative state in the central area of this organization, to fly over this sect.
He frowned as he looked in the direction where a small star had appeared on the horizon for a few seconds. This man had just felt that what was behind that phenomenon was so bad that even he, level 79, would suffer some injuries if he were near the focus of the explosion.
"I think something terrible may have happened on the border with Rosser..." He muttered in a low voice, wondering if the emperor had taken hasty action against that state and suffered some brutal counterattack.
With the thought that perhaps his leader was in danger, which meant that the entire empire would be as well, this man quickly began to fly in the direction from which Minos had departed earlier.
But he did not forget to leave a message for the previous woman. "Have the elders lift the barrier. The lingering effects of this explosion will endanger the weaker disciples if we do nothing!"
"Yes, sect master!" She said, as she also moved in pursuit of her goals.
While these high-level figures were moving, Ford and Troy were living their lives peacefully, not imagining that Minos was causing terror just a few thousand kilometers away.
But while training alongside his mate, Ford suddenly became distracted and was punched in the face.
Pow!
"Ahhhhhh!" He yelled as he brought his hands to his face, not understanding why his friend had done that.
"What's your problem?"
"My problem?" Troy questioned him with a strange look on his face. "I ask you the same! Why did you stop so suddenly?"
Ford then felt the same feeling as before and became more serious. "I feel as if a great danger is approaching me..."
...
A few minutes later...
Minos and his wives finally left the Spatial Kingdom to return to the place they had left, which now looked nothing like a forest.
No, now that place looked like the top of a gigantic volcano, from where the earlier explosion crater had released some of the magma from underground, turning that forest into a scalding volcano!
"Unbelievable!"
