When Minos heard someone calling him, he turned around to see a level 94 woman, very beautiful, black-haired, and tall, standing next to two level 96 Demigods.
"Your Highness, I presume." Minos smiled as he made a gesture of greeting, immediately identifying Emperor Quinn's eldest daughter, Amber Quinn.
This level 94 woman silently looked at Minos for a moment, observing him attentively and assessing the emperor's figure.
Twenty years ago, she wouldn't have paid any attention to Minos if someone had mentioned his name in front of her. But now he was a Demigod, someone who was already stronger than her, despite the fact that he was younger than her youngest son!
Minos had recently killed King Veora, so this woman had even more respect for him and would no longer underestimate him.
She said in a serious but also friendly tone. "Your Majesty is right. My name is Amber Quinn. I'm the eldest daughter of the emperor. It's a pleasure to finally meet you."
"Are you here to take me to your father, Your Highness?" He asked her.
"Yes, please accompany me to the palace." She gestured with one of her arms.
"By the way, may I ask the reason for Your Majesty's visit? I heard that you have been busy with Veora lately." She commented as she looked at him while his two men stared at Minos, full of doubt.
It was hard to believe that a mere level 90 Demigod had killed a powerful level 96 warrior. However, as they stood next to Minos, all three Demigods could tell this was no ordinary person.
They were standing beside a monster!
The three of them could feel the hairs on their bodies stand on end in Minos' presence, while this emperor's every step seemed to contain immense power.
They had been around dragons before, so they knew very well that part of this was due to the fact that Minos had an aura and a body as strong as that of dragons.
But even knowing this in advance, it was hard for them not to be impressed by this person's extreme power!
Minos replied, ignoring their stares. "I have something to propose to your father. That is something that could benefit our states, so don't worry, I don't have any daring things in mind. What happened in Veora was the result of old problems. I personally have never had any problems with you Quinn family members."
"Really? I heard that you were with Willow Sista recently. Is that true? Did you have business with her as well?" Amber was very well informed about things, so she easily connected one thing to another and imagined that he wanted the same thing with her father as he did with Willow.
Minos smiled but didn't lie. "Yes, what I'm going to tell your father is the same as what I told Queen Sista."
"Will there be more specialists that you will examine, Your Majesty?"
"No, not yet."
Minos had more Divine Medicine in his Spatial Kingdom that he could use on another level 99 Demigods to strengthen their condition in the face of enemies coming to the Spiritual World.
However, he didn't want to take any unnecessary risks and ended up exposing his wealth to the world.
If he suddenly attracted too many level 99 Demigods to his group, it would be easier for other powers in the world to become suspicious of him.
He had fewer Divine Medicines than the number of level 99 Demigods in this world. If rumors spread that he had something valuable to people of that rank, things could go from bad to worse very quickly!
To avoid suspicion and preserve the Divine Medicines for his family, Minos wanted to limit the number of level 99 Demigods he would help reach level 100 per hour.
'If these three succeed in advancing within the time we have left, the world will have 7 Gods if no one else advances by then. Especially the Central Continent will have 5 Gods on its side.' Minos thought silently, feeling this would give the continent security or at least buy time for this world.
He didn't think that the 32 Gods of the Mechanic Empire would come to attack them. It would be risky to use all the experts of that great empire in an action far away from their territory!
What would the enemies do if all those Gods left their territory unprotected?
Also, the Mechanic Empire was huge and seemed to have many domains. That led Minos to believe that the number of Gods who would come to the Spiritual World would be limited to half of that number at most.
Still, he felt he wouldn't have to deal with 16 level 100 beings.
So, for him, 7 Gods in the Spiritual World would be a very good number, close to the number of enemies coming to this world.
For his own sake, he was willing to take a risk and have a smaller number of Gods on his side!
However, as he thought about it, he soon found himself facing the strongest man in this state, an old enemy of Vico Travisani's, Henry Quinn, currently at level 99.
"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. This one has come all the way from the Black Plain Empire to discuss matters of utmost importance with you." Minos greeted Henry while the old man looked at him with interest, seeing this talented and promising young man at a remarkable level.
"Your aura is magnificent... It's too bad you didn't have more time, Minos. If we had another 100 years, you'd probably be enough to protect the whole world single-handedly while the Gods fought the strongest enemies." Henry sighed.
"Anyway, what do you want to talk to me about? Does it have to do with what you did in Veora recently?" He came straight to the point after his first remark.
"Not exactly," Minos said as he looked around the imperial throne room. "Your Majesty, may we speak privately? What I have to discuss with you is very delicate. It would really be best if we could have some privacy."
"Oh?" Henry looked at his daughter and the men around them.
As much as he had differences with his eldest daughter, he completely trusted her and all these men. But if Minos wanted to talk to him privately, he didn't mind sending all these people away.
He had been the first powerful person to believe in Minos' cause, so he greatly respected the young man.
He said. "Leave us alone."
As soon as those people were gone, Minos showed his domain to that level 99 Demigod, impressing him greatly.
But as soon as he began to explain what he wanted mentally, Henry's expression changed as he received the suggestion he most wanted to hear at this difficult time in the Spiritual World.
