When Henry Quinn arrived at the imperial palace in Dry City to greet Makai, a spatial distortion appeared in the sky of that city.
Only Gods or the owner of this quasi-Spatial kingdom could enter this place without using the entrance controlled by the Black Plain Army. As soon as this distortion appeared, all the local experts looked up at the sky and thought the same thing.
'Minos!'
Indeed, as soon as these people looked in the direction of the spatial distortion in the area, they saw a brown-haired man flying towards his palace at high speed.
Minos wasn't the only one who noticed. When he arrived in his city, he noticed the four Gods were waiting for him.
'What a problem...' He thought, feeling Willow and Henry there as well, glimpsing that everything he had planned for them had gotten out of hand.
But his main concern at the moment was Makai, who watched him with interest, eager to talk to Minos and bring the local technologies to the Sky Whale Tribe.
Meanwhile, Aurae, Maximillian, and Vico also had their own interests, looking at Minos from different angles, given his recent advancement to the 10th stage.
"Your Excellencies." Minos stopped in front of his palace, where the four Gods were already gathered and waiting for him.
He turned to Makai, a man with blue hair and an extremely muscular body, over 3 meters tall and wearing dark blue scale armor, and said. "Congratulations on reaching level 100. With the strength of the leader of the Sky Whale Tribe, the Spiritual World will have a chance of victory against the aliens."
Makai liked what he heard when he saw Minos' gesture.
"Haha, I can say the same for you, young man." He opened his mouth as he stepped forward and clapped one of his hands on one of Minos' shoulders. "As much as you still have a few levels to improve, your contributions to the world already put you on the same level as us Gods."
Minos smiled and thanked Makai for the words as he saw the women approaching, but they had no intention of getting in the way of his meeting with these experts.
"Minos, you've been pretty busy lately, right?" Maximilian said with a smile.
Of the four Gods of the Spiritual World, he was the one who saw Emperor Stuart most favorably.
He asked. "Have you finished settling your differences?"
Vico stepped forward and said to Minos before the young Demigod could answer. "I hope so... We don't have space for you to continue acting against experts from the Spiritual World."
Minos laughed when he saw the blond man looking at him seriously. "Don't worry, Your Majesty Travisani. My problem with the Veora family is solved, and I have no reason to act against any groups in our world.
Now, I intend to focus on my own state and personnel in the time we have left before the aliens arrive."
"That's good," Aurae said as she approached Minos. "There is no time to waste on nonsense. Our options for advancement are still open, so you and your people had better focus on understanding more of the enemy's technologies."
"That is my intention. I just got more reinforcements and allies to do it more efficiently, Your Excellency." Minos said to Aurae while subtly glancing at Willow and Henry, who were close to the four Gods and their companions.
He said as he gestured towards his palace. "How about we talk in a more comfortable place?"
They all agreed and then made way for Minos to take them wherever he wished.
At the same time, Gloria couldn't help but ask her husband. 'What are you going to do? I have a feeling we're going to lose a little more than we already have to these people.'
Ruth and Abby were also in this mental communication, and one added, 'Besides, I feel that at least Makai could become a problem if we eventually survive the war against the aliens. In fact, he and his people may act against us even during the war. I think he already sees us as future competitors.'
Minos said to the three. 'I have already predicted that this would happen sooner or later. That's why I'm creating more Gods for our world.'
The three immediately understood who these new Gods were, each looking toward one of the three level 99 Demigods they already knew would soon be going to the Stuart family's Spatial Kingdom.
Minos' point was simple. With more Gods in the Spiritual World, not only would the planet have a better chance of surviving the invasion orchestrated by the Mechanic Empire, but the existence of more level 100 cultivators would also create more internal competition in this world!
'With more Gods, these individuals will have less reason to worry about me.' Minos told them.
Minos already knew that as he grew, he would become a rival to all the high-level powers in this world. After all, his advantage over alien technology was undeniable. Everyone knew his empire would eventually be number one in this world as long as he survived the war of the worlds.
However, this was not in the best interest of some of these Gods. As much as some of them didn't want world domination, it wasn't interesting to have someone like Minos in the world after the war.
He alone was very strong, and his state had many strengths that could start a dynasty after the war.
However, if there were more Gods or rather more competition, the size of Minos' would be smaller in the eyes of these people. After all, there would be other people to worry about in the Spiritual World.
Since Minos intended to create three new Gods on the Central Continent and one on the Continent of Beasts, he felt that the possible negative intentions of these four Gods might change in the next two decades.
'I hope your plan succeeds.' Gloria sighed, seeing that no matter how much they improved, there would always be problems to worry about.
Minos would soon meet with those level 99 and 100 experts in a large meeting room in the imperial palace.
At this meeting, he would talk about what he had done recently and some of his plans for the coming years.
After that, he would have to negotiate more of his new technologies with these Gods, especially with Makai, who was newer to the whole situation.
Minos wasn't stupid, so for now, he accepted what fate had given him.
