The Rise of the Black Plain

When they felt a terrible premonition approaching, two of the first Gorgons to notice the approaching black holes barely had a chance to react.

As they burned under the black flames of the fallen phoenixes, they only looked back to see great darkness closing in on them before disappearing.

The black hole was unrivaled in the speed with which it destroyed its targets!

If you entered the event horizon of one of these regions of space, you would be accelerated to the speed of light until you merged with the black hole's singularity.

This happened so fast that there was virtually no room for escape!

Even someone of a higher level than the black hole's would have their body accelerated toward the singularity the moment they fell into the event horizon.

Someone stronger than the black hole could try to escape and have a chance of succeeding. But this had to happen very quickly. Otherwise, the black hole itself would evolve and become stronger than its target.

The first two Gorgons attacked by Minos didn't do anything in time, and by the time they realized the horror of such a fusion, it was too late. In less than a second, they were completely degraded and became essences for those black holes to become even more powerful.

Minos felt the level of those regions of space reaching a level that would make it very difficult for him to manipulate them. However, he still tried to unite them and throw the result of their union in the direction of the strongest Gorgon in the area.

"Die!" He shouted as he struggled to do so, at the same time, some of the other Gorgons found their ends for the other black holes in the area.

The people in Minos' group realized their leader's move and promptly stopped attacking, retreating close to his women as they saw the horror of Emperor Stuart's fusion.

Some of them saw it for the first time, so they couldn't help but be shocked again by this battle, realizing the monstrosity Minos could create.

If Abby was terrifying because she could bring the mighty dead back to life, Minos was terrifying because he could create something capable of devouring this world!

This was the most dangerous couple in the Spiritual World!

But luckily for these beings, they were allies of these two and didn't have to worry about them too much.

Meanwhile, the level 96 Phoenix, who had arrived in the area and flew over the region while watching all this, couldn't help but see it with different eyes.

'This is a bit scary.' He looked at one of those swirling lightless regions and felt his feathers bristle.

If that region of darkness swallowed the level 95 Gorgon, it would be able to threaten even him, a powerful level 96 Phoenix!

Feeling threatened, this elder moved to aim at the burning level 95 Gorgon, the target of the strongest black hole in the area that was moving toward it.

The Phoenix Tribe elder moved his wings to fly out of the way of the black hole and attacked with his orange and yellow flames, helping the black flames of the previous elder to destroy that body.

Since someone from his tribe had moved against those Gorgons, and they would have died anyway, he decided to kill the creatures that had threatened Minos' group.

'Better I do that than let this human's fusion of techniques devour those bodies and become stronger!' He thought to himself as he quickly took action against the other Gorgons in the area.

As a level 96 being, he was many times faster than Minos' fusion, and before those black holes devoured any more Gorgons, he had dealt with the remaining Gorgons.

Being several times stronger than most of those creatures, this elder ended the lives of half of them in a single move, turning them to ash with his high-temperature flames.

The three remaining creatures wouldn't last much longer. After the second flap of their wings in the skies of this area, they would fall dead in this area, still burning from the black flames over their bodies.

The last of those summoned by Abby had already disappeared at that moment, and only her group remained in the Phoenix Tribe after this whole incident.

As the battle ended, the old man looked at Bella and shouted.

"Bella, what is the meaning of all this? Why are you here with such a strange group? And why did those Gorgons attack you?" He asked several questions at once, looking at the white-furred fox he had known for thousands of years and giving this group the benefit of the doubt.

Bella finally took a deep breath and left the side of Minos' women to approach the elder.

"Elder Norton, I'm sorry to bring this problem to your tribe. To make a long story short, I have joined Minos Stuart's crew and am no longer the leader of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe. But before we left, Titus and Dunyxa got into trouble with the Gorgon tribe, and now we're their targets.

We were on the run, but since young Minos has friends in the Phoenix Tribe, we decided to escape through your territory."

She said all this after pointing to each of the names she had mentioned and making it clear to that phoenix who was to blame for the day's troubles.

He looked at Minos and asked. "What do you want in my tribe? And why are you recruiting on our continent?"

Norton had heard the name Minos Stuart from Demi and the phoenix who had returned from the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom months ago and were now in this area.

Not only that, as one of the strongest tribes on this continent, the Phoenix Tribe knew about the geopolitical situation of the Central Continent, which made this elder aware of Emperor Stuart's name.

"Elder, I would like to pass through your territory while we flee from the Gorgons. If possible, I would like to find people interested in joining my group to go with us to the North Sea. That's my main goal on this journey." Minos was direct as he gestured to the giant bird that watched his group from above.

"So you want our help." He muttered, remembering what he had heard about Minos and what he had just seen, which confirmed everything the level 91 phoenix who had returned to Demi's side had told the tribe.
