In the blink of an eye, the Black Hole Bomb exploded with its full force, making everything up to 5 kilometers away from it evaporate as if they were nothing close to its greatness.
Mighty winds would spread along with earthquakes, threatening the nearby structures and living beings without distinguishing anyone.
Amidst this, most individuals from the Spiritual Palace Sect didn't even have the chance to notice their end when their bodies and souls had been obliterated.
Even the strongest Spiritual Saint in that group, watching that thing in the split second before the explosion, only saw a glow and then disappeared from the Spiritual World.
Along with all this, Minos used all his abilities to fly away as quickly as possible, reaching his wives and preparing to teleport away.
There would be no reason for them to stay around after this act, not only because of the risk of being hurt by the remaining power of that weapon but because of the many specialists in the surrounding area.
Once he reached a safe zone for him to teleport them all without risking causing what had happened in the past to the headquarters of the Saints Killing Sect, Minos activated the teleportation array.
"What?"
"How could it be?"
"Damn, the wretch is the hit-and-run type!"
Several Spiritual Sages saw that and clenched their fists, knowing that if they didn't act, the borders of their states would be damaged by Minos' weapon.
Then the strongest on the border of those three states moved, each displaying their Soul Avatars as they condensed spiritual energy into grandiose barriers.
They did this alongside their rank mates, producing a great wall of spiritual energy around that explosion, which was trying to spread out in all directions.
With this move, they promptly prevented the structures and personnel of their outposts from suffering from Minos' movement, allowing the power of that attack to spread only to the skies and the area of the Flaming Empire.
As they saw the destruction that Minos was capable of causing, those people looked to where he had fled, sighing.
'The bastard solved his problem pretty quickly, uh?' One of the women from the Flowers Kingdom laughed, sensing that Minos was afraid of them.
With that, those who didn't know Minos before that day at these border posts would get to know him very soon!
...
As another volcanic region appeared in the Flaming Empire, a spatial crack opened up over the vicinity of Payton, where Minos had positioned one of his teleportation arrays.
Immediately after this crack appeared, Minos and his two wives passed through it, with them still in the form of their Soul Avatars.
Because of this, Minos promptly utilized his spatial control abilities and used his projection to forcefully close the spatial crack behind his back to avoid trouble.
Ruth and Gloria were also in that form at the moment, but both were under his arms, as they had been caught like that before their departure.
But it wouldn't be long before Minos left them, finally sighing in relief when the spatial crack was gone, and the danger had been resolved.
"Sigh... We're finally here." Minos smiled at his wives, feeling the good feeling that would come after a victory.
Not only had they defeated the enemies in that border area, but they had also solved the whole problem of the fugitives, eliminating all the relevant people from the Spiritual Palace Sect!
As such, Minos would no longer have to go out chasing anyone for the next few days and could be a little more at ease during his stay in Payton.
"Yes..." Ruth took a calmer breath before asking. "What will we do now?"
"First, we go to the Spatial Kingdom," Minos said as he hugged the waists of the two. "Now that we have escaped from that place in such a way, we are not being watched by that Spiritual Sage from the Eastern Empire."
"But what if he comes here and realizes we are nowhere to be seen?" Gloria asked.
Spiritual Sages could read spatial cracks to identify where people using teleportation or wormholes had gone. So Gloria was naturally concerned about that man arriving and none of them being around.
Minos answered his wife before leaving with them for the Spatial Kingdom. "That's not possible. He would have to read the spatial crack in that area to find out exactly where we are. But how would he do that with such calamity ravaging that place?
Besides, even if he got here by luck, he couldn't tell where we came from. He would only perceive that we went somewhere else before returning.
There are no dangers."
The Spatial Kingdom could be perceived if Minos went there under the watch of a Spiritual Sage or someone stronger because, during the 'opening' of the crack that would take him there, some of the energy of that place would escape.
But when opening the crack from there to the outside, that is, from the Spatial Kingdom to the outside world, the same would not happen because arrays in that space prevented energy loss in travel from inside to outside.
The same was impossible to do because, unlike the other powers with these regions of space, Minos did not have a fixed access point to his cultivation sanctuary but a mobile teleportation array.
That was more convenient for him but had its disadvantages...
Anyway, knowing that he would not run any risks, Minos left for the Spatial Kingdom with his two women!
...
Upon arriving inside the Spatial Kingdom, Minos, Ruth, and Gloria, were confronted with the many people living there.
The Elite Squad soldiers and their instructors were training in one corner of that area. At the same time, the beasts rested or ate near the bones of the giant skeleton.
Sarah was near the lake house with some of her teachers while the members of the Gray Clouds Sect were cultivating or training their techniques in the appropriate areas for this.
Among all these beings, Emlyn, still at level 69, watched the crops there, taking care that no one damaged the valuable Saint and Divine-grade plants.
But as they probed the spiritual fluctuations in the surroundings, Minos and his two wives soon noticed a new level 70 aura in this place!
"Abby!" Ruth exclaimed as she realized this, noticing that her harem sister had finally advanced a stage.
Minos smiled as he realized the level of his empress, noting that Abby had probably already learned her 8th technique from the solidity of her aura.
'She must have learned one of the techniques the Goddess of Life left for her.' He thought, remembering that such an expert had left two Golden-grade techniques for Abby, which could be fused and allow this woman to control some of that expert's powers.
Minos knew these were not bad techniques, so he was not disappointed in his wife choosing one of these over the ones he had with him.
The three of them walked to Abby's side, quickly congratulating her as they hugged her, happy that she had reached this level.
After that, they would stay by Sarah's side for a few minutes before returning all five of them together to that place near Payton.
It was time for them to go to the imperial palace to report the updates. At the same time, Sarah and Gloria would have a chance to see their family again!
