At King Veora's side were his three strongest advisors, all level 95 Demigods.
One of them said into the mental communication of these four strongest individuals of Veora. 'Your Majesty, we must be careful. That bastard managed to defeat all of our men protecting this altar... He won't make it easy for us.'
'Old Bai is right. Your Majesty, try to entertain the enemy for a few seconds. The three of us will attack together and try to open a gap for you to hit the enemy with your primary attack.' Said another of the advisors as the three of them stood one step behind the king, looking seriously in Minos's direction.
King Veora then said to Minos. "Are you ready to go all the way with this? Don't you care about the consequences of your actions? The entire Spiritual World will reject your actions on this day. You may lose your followers when everyone finds out how slippery you are."
Minos said nothing more, only moving one of his hands toward King Veora's neck, causing several swords to appear from space and fly toward the level 96 Demigod.
Sensing these forms of attack, not only King Veora but also his three advisors moved to dodge Minos' swift attacks while sensing something trying to hold them back.
"Domain? It seems like you're really good at that at only level 90. But affecting me the way you affected my guards won't be so easy!" King Veora shouted as he temporarily escaped from Minos.
Little did he know what was about to happen!
When Minos finally moved, darkness erupted from within the emperor, spreading fog all around the underground chamber. At the same time, the young man's brown eyes lit up in rainbow colors.
Infinite Dream!
Directing his mental attack at one of the newly arrived level 95 Demigods, Minos used the Dark Sea to change the old man's side, quickly taking him away from King Veora's group and bringing him over to his own.
When he least expected it, King Veora was stabbed in the back by one of his most trusted advisors, seeing Minos' terrible power to corrupt the minds of his targets.
"Damn it!" The king screamed as he felt a dagger from the right side of his back reach his internal organs.
Meanwhile, he was losing his energy to the Devouring Art and being limited by Chaotic Gravity, the Spatial Sword, and the Space and Time Avatar.
The other two level 95 Demigods who were still standing narrowly escaped Minos' movement, feeling cold sweat on their bodies as they saw up close what they had almost suffered.
"You bastard! Your mental strength is greater than His Majesty's! You almost knocked me down!"
"I almost fell too! What are we going to do now? He's got His Majesty!"
"We can only try to defeat him with our super-strong bodies."
They agreed at this point and didn't take long to attack Minos, already feeling that they couldn't freely use the energy outside their bodies to attack their opponent.
Strangely enough, Minos seemed to be an enemy of energy and the laws of nature!
But they were slower than Minos. Before they reached where Emperor Stuart was, this young man at temporary level 92 appeared behind one of them and kicked towards the middle of the enemy's back.
Minos' kick was quick and powerful. As the old man looked back, startled by the sight of his opponent's foot approaching him, the space through which Emperor Stuart's leg had passed collapsed as the old man felt spatial limitations appear above him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!"
As he was hit, he howled in pain as his spine snapped and half of his internal organs were pierced or completely crushed by one of Minos' feet.
The other one watched all this happen before his eyes and had no chance to help his old colleague, let alone escape from Minos.
Before the last level 95 Demigod could do anything, he felt a hand appear behind his neck.
When he moved his eyes to look behind him, he saw Minos already behind him as his neck was suddenly squeezed by his opponent's fingers.
The man had no chance to scream. As Minos used the power of the Indestructible Body, he crushed the neck of the level 95 Demigod, ending the old man's life in a single move!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"
Amidst this, the king of this kingdom screamed in agony, suffering from the attacks of his advisor, who couldn't feel pain and only saw the person in front of him as someone to be eliminated.
"Minos! You'll pay dearly for this! I swear you will die because of this day!" He shouted in a painful tone, full of hatred and regret.
All he wanted was to rise to the top, become stronger, and eventually become the first God of his family. However, he couldn't imagine the things that would allow him to achieve such a feat would lead to his own demise...
A long time ago, his family had found some idols in an ancient ruin on an island in the Ancestral Sea. That led them to discover the power of faith and how to absorb its essence to become stronger and have a better chance of reaching level 100.
Unfortunately, his family was fragile back then, and it took a long time for the first person to reach the 10th stage, like the King Veora of this generation.
But from what he felt now, all the years of his family's hard work had only served for this moment when the real man who would enjoy such things dealt him a fatal blow.
Picking up his high-level grade-4 sword, Minos crossed the space and appeared behind this level 96 Demigod, slashing his sword through the man's back, passing through the left side of his chest, piercing his heart before destroying him.
All the Demigods Minos had defeated earlier and who were still conscious looked on in amazement, fear, and horror as they watched the strongest of the state bleed from various places while the enemy held his body upright.
"Your Majesty..." Some of them tried to move, but in Minos' presence, they could only mumble as they felt the end of an era in this state.
Minos had become very strong. Not many could stand up to him and say NO!
He wanted the idols of this state, so the only thing the people of this place could do was to give him what he wanted!
At this rate, King Veora died at the hands of Minos, the first level 96 Demigod to die in these lands in a long time.
