Throughout the history of the Spiritual World, various tribes, races, and civilizations have grown and evolved, using auxiliary technologies to facilitate their progress and stay ahead of other groups.
This was the case with the Seraphim tribe, which had ended in the Ocean Cataclysm when the Sky Whales, Quilins, and Dragons fought before the world's first God was born into the world's strongest tribe.
Just before that chaotic time, when several tribes met their end in the struggle for supremacy, a devastating era had ended, bringing countless benefits to the survivors.
However, some of them, such as the Seraphim tribe, were very weakened after the devastation, while others, such as the Sky Whale tribe, hadn't lost much of their strength during that era.
The Sky Whale tribe had never changed their ways. They believed in absolute power and strengthening their members to the maximum. As a result, they had overcome all calamities and reached the present day, becoming the strongest race in the world.
But the seraphim had relied on technology to advance, and when the era of calamities came before they departed from the Divine Continent, this tribe suffered a severe blow and lost much of its strength.
After that, they would never recover, and eventually, an internal conflict would cause them to flee to the Central Continent, where they would later mix their genes with those of humans and disappear during the Ocean Cataclysm.
The Seraphim tribe was just one of many that went through this. Technologies were only accessories. When disasters struck the world, the rules changed, and many of these devices became obsolete in the face of things as powerful as the lightning of the Age of Lightning.
The only thing one could use to protect oneself was strength, which could only be cultivated slowly over time!
The beings of the strongest races on Minos' ship knew this, but Emperor Stuart had an even deeper understanding of the subject.
Only those who can show similarities with the beings of the 101 races of Panvuter have a chance to survive!
By relying on auxiliary technologies, one would distance oneself from those beings and naturally become more vulnerable in extreme eras.
Anyway, while some were worried about what might happen very soon, others there were amazed and frightened by the history of this world.
But as they did so, these individuals finally got close enough to the post of the strongest tribe in the world for one of the vigilantes in the area to stop them.
"Arctic Whales, what are you doing here with such a strange crew?" A level 91 elder at that post on the ocean floor asked as he approached their group, emerging from a nearby cave.
Seeing this member of the strongest race, Trilla immediately swam closer and made a respectful gesture to the elder.
"We are here to file a complaint against the Arctic Shark tribe, elder. This tribe has betrayed the Sky Whales and sided with the dragons of the Continent of Beasts." She got right to the point, quickly forcing the elder to change his expression.
Even in his whale form, this creature showed the people in Minos' group an ugly expression, showing that this was news he didn't like at all.
As the rulers of the sea, the Sky Whales controlled all the sea races, and even when they gave them freedom to other sea races to act as they pleased, they would never allow something like treason!
"Treason is a severe crime, punishable by death. Do you have proof of that?" He asked.
"Yes, I have witnessed how 10th-stage sharks gathered with dragons to devour the body of an elder of your tribe who was wounded after a battle." She said, her words earnest.
"Let me see what you saw." The whale, more than 50% larger than Trilla, even though he was of a weaker level, moved close to her, resting his huge head against Trilla's.
Trilla didn't make it difficult for the old man and let him rummage through her memories.
Sky Whales were physically very powerful, but that wasn't the only special characteristic of their race. In addition to the special powers that each whale could have that distinguished them from other whales of the same race, they could also connect their minds with those of other living beings and read their memories.
This would not work against the will of the target of these beings if the target were of a similar or higher level. However, it was handy for analyzing information in the minds of injured enemies and determining situations witnessed by others.
While this elder was using that ability on Trilla, he quickly saw what had happened to the Arctic Whale tribe a few days ago and understood where the tremors and chaos had come from.
But he soon moved on in that whale's memories, reaching the moment when she'd witnessed the crime of the Arctic Sharks when she'd been chased by the level 93 shart before.
After seeing those memories, that level 91 being was immediately enraged and began to tremble with rage, emitting a terrible aura and alerting his companions at that post.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Two voices from nearby caves reached the ears of everyone in the crew as the elder whose head touched Trilla's opened his eyes and separated from her.
"Elders, the damned Arctic Sharks have betrayed us! They've joined the Dragons and attacked the Arctic Whales!" He shouted angrily, feeling that his tribe needed to move quickly to deal with the traitors in the south.
"What?"
"How dare they?"
After the words of this level 91 whale, five whales even bigger than him quickly emerged from the caves in the area, the strongest of them at level 96!
The strongest of them was so big and powerful that even Minos couldn't help but swallow his saliva in front of such a creature, seeing a being potentially stronger than most of the high-level human Demigods in this world.
Even the Sea People and Krakens in that crew couldn't help but feel oppressed by those creatures, and their auras dropped as they stood silently in that boat.
The sensation they felt was not just a difference in level. It was a spiritual oppression caused by beings of higher purity of blood against beings of lower genetic quality.
In a way, even if those beings were at the same level as them, they would still feel like they were standing in front of superior beings and would naturally feel the need to bow their heads.
But one of them didn't feel that way, and those giant Sky Whales soon realized it when they sensed something strange coming from Minos!
