After a few hours since Minos' first battle as master of the Gray Clouds Sect, his results had already been reported from the battlefield to headquarters.
The sect members who had been at Minos' side in that battle greatly appreciated his participation in the confrontation, and many now admired him more than before.
He had dominated the battlefield in the Flaming Empire the first time he had fought as the leader of a local organization, something that meant a great deal to him and the sect.
Many still thought that Minos had his results elevated beyond reality because he almost always fought in the poor northern region. So with this result in the Flaming Empire, those who used this narrative to doubt him would have nothing left to say.
Not only was Emperor Stuart a prominent figure in the northern region, but he also fought and won battles in the Flaming Empire. In addition, he terrorized the enemies who had almost been eliminated.
With that, the news that reached Clouds City regarding Minos was excellent, causing positive and negative commotions in different places in the headquarters of such an organization!
...
"Minos killed over 400 high-level Spiritual Emperors and 30 low-level Spiritual Saints on the battlefield!" One of the Coleman family members said this in one of that family's celebration halls.
There, people were still celebrating the ascension of another 'member' of the family to the position of sect master when the news about the previous Minos' action reached this place.
Earlier the mood was not as festive, as Minos' ascension could still be contested in many different ways. But after a single fight, many of the doubts of the members of this organization would be diminished or obliterated.
With fewer ways for Minos to be questioned, Maisie's family members could not help but celebrate the situation more festively, saying all sorts of positive things about him.
"Haha, he's breaking records. I'm sure he'll shock the whole empire soon." Oswald said, sitting in the leadership position while having Maisie on his right side, this woman who would soon become the matriarch of the Coleman family.
"With Minos in the sect's leadership and Maisie in the family, we will have another great generation!" The supreme elder of that family, level 78, said in a good-natured tone, feeling the favorable winds of fate.
...
On the other hand, at the Moss family headquarters
Ivory was not around to celebrate Minos' situation, as she was on the Black Plain helping the empire's forces deal with Abe's terrorist groups. However, her group of friends and supporters celebrated in that place, for they knew she had a deal with him.
With Minos in charge of the sect, he would soon be able to appoint Ivory to an important position. That would be perfect for her and this family, considering they had no chance of having one of their relatives in the sect leader's chair in the current scenario.
With this, they also had reason to celebrate!
But not only that, the high-level elders of this family, who still had doubts about Minos as the sect leader, were more or less relieved by the recent news.
"It seems that he is everything he talked about..." A woman commented to the strongest elder of that family, level 78.
"Well, those with Coleman blood don't usually lie unnecessarily." Such an individual said, feeling that his belief in Oswald was correct.
He did not like someone from outside the sect becoming a leader, even if such a person had the blood of the family that had dominated that organization for the longest time. But he understood Oswald's logic of trying to place someone without the 'addictions' of the sect members, a person who could bring change to the organization.
Even so, he still had his reservations about Emperor Stuart, especially considering the confidence of that young man in speaking with the strongest elders of this place.
However, hearing how Minos had turned the battlefield around and overwhelmed the opponents, this expert could not help but renew his beliefs in Oswald's decisions. Now he saw Emperor Stuart more favorably.
"Maybe the sect will have a great time on Minos' side..." He muttered as he smiled at that elderly woman, sensing the change in the times.
"But what will happen next?"
...
On the other hand, the command center of the Terry family was somewhat disappointed with the information that had just arrived.
"The sect master, Minos Stuart, went to the battlefield and led a battalion to destroy an enemy group that numbered over 800 Spiritual Emperors and 90 Spiritual Saints."
"Most of them were devoured by the sect master's fusion, which can be used as a weapon later." A man read this information to the strongest members of this force, who were in a large meeting room.
Hearing all this, the patriarch Terry had a strange look on his face, not knowing whether to be happy for the sect or sad for his family.
Lance was still in prison, but Minos had already acted so quickly and decisively that it was difficult to even for him to say anything negative about Maisie's son.
He wanted his family to have a sect master, preferably in his generation. But the truth was that he could not guarantee victory for the Gray Clouds Sect against the Saints Killing Sect. Furthermore, seeing Minos' potential, he could not help but hesitate, feeling this young man could do such a thing.
After all, as much as Minos was only one individual, he had the dreaded black hole, something that he had already left in one of the outposts of the Gray Clouds Sect before he left the battlefield.
The people in this sect already knew this. With this information, these men of the Terry family knew that if it continued to develop, the thought of a victory in the war would not be an exaggeration!
Since several people from this family had already fallen into the hands of the enemies, the leadership of this force could not help but hesitate between winning the war with Minos and taking risks with Lance.
'It seems fate is on your opponent's side, Lance...' The patriarch thought to himself as he closed his eyes.
But then, one of Lance's most ardent supporters there made a suggestion, knowing what was on the minds of his colleagues. "Before we decide anything definite, I would like at least some envoy of ours to go and study that black hole."
"As reported, Minos left such a thing in one of our camps without any protection. So I want to see if we can take control of that thing."
"If we can, we won't have to give up our recommendation for the position of sect master so quickly!" Such a person finished, showing his colleagues this ambitious but also shameless plan.
Since everyone there was already too old to care about their petty actions, they agreed after some conversation, giving Lance another spark of hope.
