A few days later...
After leaving for the battlefield alongside the high-level elders of the Gray Clouds Sect, Minos subdivided the black holes and created regions of space like these, only smaller.
With that, he created 10 Black Hole Bombs, each capable of threatening even high-level Spiritual Saints if appropriately used.
This work had taken a little over a day since the locations of the two black holes were distinct, and dividing these regions of space was not simple. But after this period, Minos and his companions set off toward their enemies' headquarters.
Because of the Black Hole Bombs, Minos, their controller, could not use methods to shorten distances, as in the case of teleportation arrays.
So his attack group was heading for the enemy headquarters by traditional means, flying around the southernmost part of the Flaming Empire, near the border of this state with the Flowers Kingdom.
...
Somewhere in the domain of the Saints Killing Sect...
A group of fewer than 30 people was camping nearby, in this place with several floating islands in the area, one of the empire's high-level regions of spiritual energy.
In the middle of the area where this group was, Minos was eating next to Oswald and Gavin, while the strongest people there were nearby, watching the area or eating with them.
"Sect master, a tribe of beasts allied with the Saints Killing Sect, is in our path just ahead." One of the weaker ones there relayed this message to Minos and Oswald as they finished resting. "They sent an ultimatum telling us to turn around or prepare for battle."
Minos looked into the distance and saw some of the beings in his path, Lizard Men, a humanoid species of spiritual beasts.
"It looks like the enemy is already waiting for us..." Minos said in a low voice for those closest to him to hear.
"That is probably Abe's fault." Gavin commented, suspecting their enemies had contacted each other somehow since they both had common goals.
Minos nodded in agreement as Oswald saw that their plans to attack these enemies by surprise would not work out.
He knew what he would do in this situation, but he gave his grandson a chance to answer. "What do you intend to do? Fight with them and lose parts of our forces?"
Minos looked at the man who had brought the enemy ultimatum and said. "Tell them that if they don't get out of our way, their tribe will be exterminated by the end of the day. We can't exterminate the Saints Killing Sect, but the same is not true for them."
The people in the surrounding area looked at Minos significantly, among them Lance, who thought that a deflection or diplomatic approach was a better alternative to the problem.
Part of them thought the same as Lance. They did not want such a violent approach to the matter.
But Minos thought differently. He treated every enemy as if it were a disease to be fought and eliminated so that the rest of the organism could live well.
He was not unnecessarily cruel most of the time. On the contrary, he always gave his enemies several opportunities not to overstep all his limits.
But he was not the type that people could play with. He wanted his current opponents to be afraid of him so people in the future would not wish to be in the same position as such individuals.
Therefore, Minos used violence.
'If violence didn't bring good results, it's because there wasn't enough violence!'
"Are you sure about that?" Oswald asked his grandson. "But how do you intend to do that?"
"I have several weapons at my disposal," Minos said as he ate his bowl of soup.
Everyone there looked at his waist, where mirror spheres were hanging, each emitting abominable energies.
Gulp!
"Are you out of your mind? That is too extreme, sect master." A level 78 individual said this as he stood up and said while looking at Minos.
"The enemy already knows our position as well as what we intend. Therefore, not acting will be a sign of weakness and a mistake in strategy." Minos said this, looking at such a person. "What do you think they expect to happen? That we run roughshod over these beasts? No way, they know how you old people think."
"Luckily, I think differently."
"Do you think the enemy is not prepared to fight if we decide to follow your plans?" A level 78 member of House Terry asked.
"They are less prepared than if we back down," Minos answered confidently. "In any case, if you dare not accompany me, I will follow this alone."
Then Emperor Stuart stood up and flew towards his opponents, followed immediately only by Gavin, who was very fond of this combat style.
"Sect master..." A Moss family member looked at Oswald and called him by his old title.
Oswald said nothing right away as he watched in the direction from which Minos and Gavin had departed.
They were in enemy territory, but no one was concerned about Minos' safety. After all, of all of them, the one who needed protection the least was him.
They were there to help in the battle. Still, Minos had several methods of taking action against opponents in the area. So he could get away from the group for a while, and there would be no risk to their plans, so these people waited for Oswald's response.
"Let's see what he does..."
...
The distance between the group of spiritual beasts and Minos' previous position was not great, so he soon was face to face with those scaled beings.
He stopped next to Gavin, above where such beings were positioned on the floating terrain of a small island.
Minos looked down and was silent, seeing the looks in the eyes of those 8th stage creatures.
He then took one of his Black Hole Bombs and released the black hole, startling Gavin a little, who immediately turned away from Minos and looked at him strangely.
'How can you act like this? You could have at least warned me before...' That guy saw Minos a little further away and sighed.
Minos then said. "Lizard Men, you have two options at the moment. Retreat immediately and secure the future of your species or face fate."
"You have 10 seconds to make up your minds." He made the black hole in front of him begin to rotate toward that portion of land while leaving his two hands open, in front of his chest, with his arms outstretched.
The creatures on that floating island looked at each other. They found it comical that a mere Spiritual Emperor was there to challenge them.
They knew Minos was strong, but they did not believe they would be exterminated before they had a chance to finish Emperor Stuart.
Then one of them said. "Human, you are confident with your achievements so far. Let me show you the meaning of the word defeat."
"Keep that to yourself, beast." Minos then hurled his black hole in the direction of that island, which this level 77 Lizard Man was standing in front of.
