After more than 10 hours since Minos had made his black hole, he returned alone from the Spatial Kingdom, wondering if he could leave alongside his wives.
As he appeared within the event horizon of the black hole, he held a sphere of mirrors in his right hand, an array created by a Flaming Empire array master.
Minos knew that the sphere Abby could produce had its limitations, given her cultivation level. So he had already purchased it during his months of travel through the Empire.
With that, he was well-prepared for this situation when he realized how much that black hole had developed.
"Wow!" He could not help but exclaim as he noticed how much pressure that was putting on him. "It has already surpassed the 8th stage limit and can devour even someone like the emperor!"
Luckily the creator of fusions like these had a unique connection with his creations, which helped him control such a thing even when it grew so large.
That alone was why Minos could be there at the moment instead of being devoured by the black hole, just as had happened to all the weapons that had been left behind earlier.
Realizing that his and Abby's work in this place had been done, he controlled that thing with incredible difficulty. Then he did what was necessary to store it inside the mirrored sphere.
After nearly half an hour of struggling, Minos managed to achieve his goal, causing the black hole to disappear inside such a thing, revealing the large crater that remained in that area.
The black hole had successfully destroyed a good part of that area, having swallowed the tomb and part of the cliff so that it formed a sizeable angular area where red crystals could be seen.
Minos tried to ignore this as he checked the area of the curse.
But then, he sensed no such thing and quickly flew away from there, trying to get away from the area where such a thing worked.
As Minos flew at high speed with that mirrored sphere in his hands, the area curse watched him from afar as it spied him.
'So it was him...' The strange face of the curse contorted, not understanding how a level 62 man could create something so powerful.
It was afraid to act against Minos right now as not only did the black hole already scare it, but after that thing was stored in the sphere, the threat had worsened!
So to protect its existence, this curse gave up on that young man as it tried to understand all the strange things that had occurred in the past few days.
'Sigh... A small part of me has been devoured...' It felt this as it looked toward the crater in that place, where part of the laws had been totally obliterated inside that strange thing.
'I hope he never comes back again!'
...
After running away for a while, Minos quickly sought out his women in the Spatial Kingdom and returned to the area where he no longer had to worry about the curse.
Because of this, they finally celebrated the end of it all, with Abby feeling a great relief on her shoulders.
There were no more prizes for her since the Goddess of Life had already given her plenty just for the promise that she would try. But there was a threat that she would suffer drastic consequences if she failed. So, this blue-haired woman could only feel good about finishing this.
Unlike Minos and the rest of her group, she could feel that all the resentment of the Goddess of Life had disappeared from her being, which indicates that they had completed the mission.
"It seems he didn't have people to carry on his legacy beyond the Scourges of the Devil." She commented to Minos and her harem sisters, confirming that all that there was of the marks of the God of Death in the world had been extinguished.
Time was cruel and erased almost everything and everyone. So after so many millions of years, with an inheritance so challenging to access, the God of Death had practically disappeared without anyone doing anything against him.
Since Minos had already acted against the Scourges of the Devil and now helped Abby destroy the inheritance, he had finished putting the nails in this individual's coffin.
"Sigh..."
"Anyway, we accomplished a lot in this place." Minos looked at his spatial ring, considering the amount of grade-3 and grade-4 items he had gotten.
He had also gotten many Silver-grade techniques from the items in the first box handed to him by that skeleton from earlier.
Medicines and spiritual crystals of all qualities were among the items he had inherited, enough to enrich a family of even high-level empires.
But since Minos had an estate to look after, his results were just enough to ensure a little more tranquility for the Black Plain.
"So, what do we do now? Time for us to return?" Ruth asked, unable to hide the excitement in her voice at finally being able to return to the Black Plain.
They had already been out of their state for many months, which meant they had given such territory time to develop considerably in their absence.
In other words, upon their return, it would be difficult for them not to find a new Black Plain!
With that, she was anxious, as were the other three of these humans and Maida and Kyla, this one who was already looking forward to seeing her mother.
Kyla had always wanted to travel through the Spiritual World, and this time she had had plenty of opportunity to experience this big world. But she was still a cub in some ways, so she could not help but wonder how her old mother was doing.
With Ruth's question, Minos then replied. "We're going back to our territory!"
With that said, they looked at each other and smiled before settling on Maida's back.
Then, this sizeable black-furred tigress took off from that area of Albano, setting off toward the northern region without looking back.
With this, their journey to the Flaming Empire finally ended. Now, they would travel for a month through that area until they entered the northern region of the Central Continent.
On this occasion, they would find a place significantly changed by the actions of the local government and Minos' group outside that region, now much more vibrant and joyful.
The Black Plain War of Independence was challenging for the northern region. When Minos left for the Empire, many of the problems remaining from that period still existed.
Had they been solved in this short period? Unfortunately, no, but grudges could be quickly forgotten with the Black Plain's rising prosperity.
With opportunities, people complained less and accepted the 'necessary evil' more easily, which justified the new reality they would soon find.
With that, the time had come for Minos and his wives to settle down in the Black Plain again, to have the opportunity to grow quietly along with who knows the birth of his first daughter.
