Another three weeks passed in the blink of an eye!
After days of traveling toward the North Sea core, Minos' crew had finally reached a critical point in their journey.
A few dozen kilometers from them were the main islands of the North Sea core, where the crew members could already see their opponents nearby, ready to deal with them.
On the main island of this place, most of the battle robots of the Mechanic Empire were in position, while from there, Minos' allies could see a beam of light aimed at the sky.
Looking at that, as well as the number of robots, high-level items, and buildings in the vicinity, the people in Minos' group couldn't help but feel strange.
Facing them were the most formidable enemies they could encounter in the Spiritual World!
"We're in trouble..." Titus commented pessimistically, seeing that the enemies were stronger than they had thought.
On the outskirts of these three islands, positioned at roughly the same distance from each other, were 18 Protectors, combat robots with power between levels 94 and 96. At the same time, 43 strange weapons were pointed in their direction, while a gigantic energy barrier protected the alien structures on those islands.
In addition, 10 flying ships hovered above the islands, their weapons aimed at Minos' group, while warships with robots they had never seen before were in front of the islands.
When the people in Minos' group felt the power of the weapons on those structures, they couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
"Tsk! Since we've come this far, let's send some of these bastards to the underworld!" The dragon in the group said aloud, looking in the direction of those behind them.
Seeing the green creatures that matched Joey's description of those who had kidnapped him, Minos clenched his fists.
'I'm finally facing you.' He looked in the direction of the strongest of those creatures, a level 91 Demigod. 'You are the invisible enemies I've been preparing for since my youth!'
On his journey, Minos had sought revenge, peace, happiness, family, wealth, power, and, in short, a little bit of everything. But from the beginning, his goal was to confront the invaders of this world, not out of kindness, but out of self-protection.
As someone who had received the heritage of a level 100 God as a child, Minos had always believed in the dangers Henricus Longus had warned him about.
When he finally saw the source of the first human God's nightmares, he couldn't help but feel something different in his being.
But amid this special feeling, Minos noticed a weakness in the enemy but also their greatest strength.
He said in a calm but determined tone. "As far as I can see, the enemies are not strong in level. On the one hand, that's good, because it will be easier to deal with them. But on the other hand, it's bad because if they can develop beings stronger than them, we have to consider that high-level Demigods of this race can create level 100 robots."
The people on the ship fell silent when they heard the crew chief's words, and they were somewhat worried by this fact.
There were only ten Demigods in the opposing group, and the strongest of them was only a level 91 Demigod. Most of these strange creatures were Sages. However, their robots were at the 10th stage, which was worrisome.
But Minos noticed another problem these enemy forces probably had. 'From their numbers, I can tell that as impressive as they are, it is not easy to create these robots. Maybe we won't have to face so many enemies in the future.'
Seeing the enemies standing still, waiting for the decisive moment, Minos had no trouble figuring out the aliens' plans.
While they were positioned on their islands, these creatures looked at him sharply.
Minos closed his eyes for a moment and clenched his fists.
Then he said. "My friends. The enemy before us must be stopped today. If we don't defeat this threat, our entire world will be in danger.
Our only chance is to act together and eliminate as many opponents as possible this afternoon!
In the future, our descendants will read about today's battle, the beginning of the War of Worlds, and the brave warriors who shed their blood for the Spiritual World!
Forget your races. Today, we are all natives of the Spiritual World, those whom the aliens wish to destroy!
I can no longer guarantee your lives, but I ask you to lend me your strength again. I will lead the way to the main enemies.
Attack while I lure the enemies!"
With these words, Minos stole the cultivation of one of the level 90 mercenaries in his group before jumping into the air and flying toward the large island where a volcano stood.
Seeing Minos' movement, everyone on the boat moved, circulating their energies as they took on their bestial forms or soul projections.
'Shit! It's starting!' Grant felt a chill run through his being as he saw the great dragon fly after Minos alongside two phoenixes while the great arctic whale disappeared into the sea alongside the krakens and other sea creatures.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Sea Folk group in that crew stayed behind next to Ruth, shouting to everyone. "Attack!"
At that moment, the aliens' leader looked at Minos, who was flying in front of everyone and raised one of his hands, also giving the signal to his people.
"Attack!"
Several shouts rang out on the three islands dominated by these space explorers from the Mechanic Empire.
As he saw the Protectors of his group looking and moving in Minos' direction, as well as the many weapons aimed at him being fired, Iktun felt a chill run through his being as he looked into the eyes of the enemy leader.
'Is this the enemy Doctor Cauns fears so much?' He looked at the brown-haired human who was currently at level 89.
The sonic and laser cannons on the outskirts of this place, on the islands, on the ships, and on the surrounding spaceships shone brightly, all pointing in Minos' direction.
As the Protectors flew over the islands, more than half of them with Minos in their sights, Ruth saw from her ship the first moment of confrontation with so many powerful enemies attacking her husband.
"Minos..." She clenched her fists in frustration at not being able to help him more actively.
At that moment, a gigantic seal appeared in the space in front of Minos, and he drew a golden sword from the void of space, his entire body glowing as a stream of bright energy of the same color flowed through his being.
