By folding space over the black hole core, Minos created a region in space that was extremely unstable in a way that light bent in the surroundings of this thing, shining like a star.
That unstable region shook as he finished folding space, generating extreme gravitational waves in the surroundings. It was something so tremendous that even the Demigods there frowned as they looked at it.
"What the fuck is that?" One of them wondered aloud as his body was drawn towards the thing, as was everything and everyone in the surroundings.
The very space in the vicinity was distorting, given the violent gravitational pull of that thing between the hands of the Soul Avatar of Minos!
Given the powerful suction force of that folded space core, the avatars of humans below level 91 in the surroundings were falling apart, while even those stronger ones were suffering from Minos' fusion.
"Deal with it!" Minos said as he released that thing glowing intensely and moved away.
Due to its attraction to everything in the surroundings, the water barrier of the strongest Demigod in the area had partly broken down. Minos promptly used one of its openings to flee with his ship and Starclaw.
"Hey, damn you! Don't run away!" The strongest one there shouted as he felt his body being drawn into that thing, looking uglily in the direction of where Minos was flying, unaffected by the whole thing.
Minos' control over his fusions had increased with his stage advancement. That was why he could generate something so terrible and still act freely, unaffected in any way.
However, even his abilities had limits!
With the absorption of several medium-level grade-4 cannonballs, his black hole had become much stronger than he was. So even though he wasn't affected by it, Minos couldn't fully control it either and could not open a wormhole to escape from that place in the vicinity of the black hole.
He escaped from there by flying, using as much as he could of his movement ability and his defense technique, Indestructible Body, to not only escape but also withstand what was about to happen.
"Worry about yourself," Minos said as he looked back, seeing that giant projection glaring at him.
The thing would explode in a few moments, so none of those beings had time to pay attention to him!
"Oh, shit!" One of the fish there cursed at those pirates as he put Minos aside to try to save himself.
They were stronger than him, but they didn't have the advantage of not being affected so tremendously by that thing. However, even with many more mishaps on their escape path, by focusing on escaping the black hole and not on their battle of moments ago, the stronger ones slowly managed to counter the forces acting against them.
Then, 10 seconds after Minos escapes...
KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
In an instant, everything in the surrounding hundreds of kilometers stopped, and time seemed to have stopped, but then, an explosion as strong as the sacrifice of a level 92 Demigod unleashed, suddenly raising the temperature of the surroundings.
The explosion quickly spread from its center to miles away from it, evaporating everything and everyone within that radius.
Simultaneously, the explosion dragged every molecule in the air into the surrounding area, creating powerful winds capable of generating powerful hurricanes and tsunamis.
The sound of this explosion was terrible, and in the next few minutes, it would spread throughout the central area of the East Sea, while the intense glow from this explosion would reach even the Divine Continent!
Minos was just over halfway through his journey to that continent, but even with a distance so long that it would take him months to travel it, the light from that explosion would reach that place.
Anyone on the west coast of the Divine Continent looking west at this instant would see a small glow appearing for a few moments and then disappearing at the top of the sky.
The Spiritual World was spherical in shape, but that explosion had reached such expressive heights that even people far away could see some of it in the sky!
Meanwhile, even the zone of darkness and part of the ocean floor in that region would suffer from that thing's destruction.
This would generate news all over the Spiritual World in the coming hours and days.
On that day, Minos had finally presented himself to experts all over the world, showing the calamity that awaited those who stood against him!
...
"Whew! We managed to escape!" Starclaw finally managed to say something after they left a wormhole, sweating considerably.
His feathers were quivering, while his breathing was agitated.
Moments ago, they had seen the big explosion approaching them uncontrollably when Minos finally managed to open a wormhole away from that place.
But some of the destruction had reached them inside that wormhole, and for only a matter of milliseconds, she and Minos had managed to escape!
If not for Minos' great spatial manipulation skills, they probably would have brought some of that explosion to where they had just arrived and suffered in the same way!
Minos was also sweating coldly, pale while already at his normal cultivation base.
He was exhausted not only by the formation of that black hole core, something he could use to create Black Hole Bombs without arrays like the ones he had used in the past. His defensive and movement techniques had also consumed him, which he had had to use to the fullest to avoid suffering from his own weapon!
"The bastards got us involved in all that... I hope they all died." He said in a low voice, his voice hoarse and breathless.
Starclaw couldn't deny that they deserved it, for they had involved them in the whole thing without any need.
"What do we do now?" She asked him as she looked at her surroundings, seeing the explosion still happening in the distance.
Such an explosion had already passed, but given their distance, the information was still coming in where they were.
Minos looked at his own creation and said. "Let's rest for a while. The sound wave generated by that explosion is going to hit us anyway, so let's prepare to withstand it and then rest until tomorrow.
We'll continue traveling after that."
"OK."
After that, they quickly activated the defensive arrays of that yacht, preparing for what was rapidly approaching their position.
