After stabilizing his cultivation at level 92, he felt a sense of unprecedented power in his body, and he noticed how much his immortal energy had increased since the beginning of the seclusion he had just completed.
Not only had it improved, but with the increase in level, he could feel that he could control his faith power better and more easily, and he also felt a deeper connection with the wing tattoo on one of his hands.
When he opened his eyes after meditating, he looked at his hands and imagined how powerful he would be using his abilities.
ʽI believe I can fight and defeat a level 99 Demigod even without using my fusions. It would be difficult to kill someone like that without fusions, but I would definitely win.ʼ He thought to himself.
`However, if I use the supreme weapon and other of my fusions, I can definitely deal with the strongest below level 100. As for my power of faith and what that seraph left me, I don't know how much I could really do with those abilities.`
Thinking this, Minos stood up when he saw the people approaching him.
"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Minos. What now? What do we do now?" Isabella asked him as his wives and children surrounded him.
"Now it's time to act." Minos looked at the other people in the Spatial Kingdom. "Time to go, everyone. Pack up everything you brought here and get ready to leave. The pre-war seclusion is over. Time to move and wait for the enemies to arrive."
Everyone stood still for a few moments, already aware that this was about to happen, but still, they couldn't help but remain silent, thinking about the crucial moment they were in.
Many of them could die in a very short time!
Even if they didn't die, they could still suffer significant changes in their lives, which was enough for everyone to think about the idea of going to war.
But after Minos had watched them for a few moments, everyone started to move, stopped what they were doing, and began to gather what they needed to save before returning to the Black Plain Empire.
Except for the children of the Stuart family and a few relatively weak people who couldn't take part in the war, everyone else prepared to leave.
"What about us?" Kyla asked as she stopped next to her mother, just in front of Minos.
Emlyn said. "You will stay here and take care of my duties. I will join the forces of the Black Plain Empire in the war against the aliens." Emlyn was nearing the peak of the 9th stage, so she was ready to go to war and fight for the Spiritual World.
Kyla was also ready to join the war. Still, as Emlyn's daughter and a necessity in the Spatial Kingdom, her mother wouldn't allow her to join Minos' forces.
Minos told Kyla and her children. "You should stay here and cultivate and train. If all goes well, we'll extend the war for years to come. If that happens and you advance a few levels, you'll have a chance to fight for the Spiritual World." With these words, Minos bade farewell to his sons and the staff who would remain in the Spatial Kingdom and left for Dry City with his wives, while the others left through the exit that led to the army headquarters in the old Yellow City.
...
Back in the capital of his empire, Minos was soon in his imperial palace with the core of his government.
In addition to his wives, who were all level 90, there were Dillian, Elen, Elena, and Eduard, who were all level 85, Maisie, who was level 89, Lee and Alison, who were level 83, and several other Sages important to the empire. In addition to them, there were also Demigods who had their origins in the Longus family and the additions to the state in recent years.
There were Demigods between levels 90 and 95, all subordinate to Minos.
The Demigods above level 95 were all allies who had come from other powers to join Minos' group at the beginning of the war.
"Everyone is here, so let's get down to business. We have no more time and no more reason not to go to the North Sea. The enemy could arrive at any moment, so we'd better get moving.
Preparing the battlefield where we will receive the damned of the Mechanic Empire is the best thing we can do now."
As they listened to Minos' voice, the people there sighed, thinking about their last move before the end of world peace.
"The time has finally come." Forrest, currently at level 96, said as he looked at Minos, eager to go to the battlefield.
His motivations had changed over the years, from surviving Maximillian or Vico to now having to deal with the aliens. He still hated Maximilian and wanted to see him die one day. But now he knew how much he needed the current leader of the Spiritual Church.
Meanwhile, Dillian could only sigh. He would stay behind to deal with the Empire but sincerely wished he could fight alongside Minos. Unfortunately, he was only a doctor.
"I didn't expect this day to come so soon." He commented to his wife as he watched Minos talking to high-ranking allies. "I remember the day we left the City of the Setting Sun. He had barely begun his cultivation at that time."
"Time was really short. If we had another 30 years, we wouldn't be so worried. Minos would have defeated his enemies on his own." Eda commented as she looked at Abby, remembering the time when she was the woman's bodyguard.
Back then, Eda would have been amazed if Abby had become a Spiritual King. But now, the blue-haired woman was at level 90, and Eda couldn't help but worry about the Empress' life.
Minos said to everyone. "From now on, we're under a state of emergency. Use martial law to make the state last as long as possible. I don't know if I will return from the battlefield; I might die, or I might have to continue with the infiltration plan. So be prepared.
This may be goodbye." Gulp!
Elena approached Minos with a sigh. "If this is goodbye, then so be it. We've had a great life. If we're going to die, let it be fighting the damn enemies."
Comments like these continued until it was time for the capital's forces to split up, with a small group staying behind to protect the city and the strongest going to the North Sea.
