The Rise of the Black Plain

While the ships and spaceships of the alien race were sinking into the sea under the attacks of Minos' blades and the movements of his people, the strongest of both sides were fighting at a high level in the area.

The dragon, phoenix, and a great whale of the group were currently fighting side by side against three level 94 robots.

Since only these beasts had bodies strong enough to fight the robots directly, they took the lead in the battle.

With the help of the many blades Minos had just created, they managed to take down the first two enemy robots, reducing the number of creatures fighting their group from 8 to 6.

Now that they were facing 3 of the 6 opponents who weren't paying attention to Minos, their dozens of allies could act with "less" risk against the other three.

However, even though these huge creatures entertained half of the remaining group of enemies, the three robots acting against the rest of Minos' crew were not easy to deal with.

Seeing the mermen, krakens, and humans of the group struggling to put pressure on these enemies capable of high-speed flight, the three Sea Folk members looked at each other. They saw that they could no longer hold their own on the ship.

"Ruth and the rest of you should be doubly careful from now on. We're going into battle." The level 92 woman said aloud as she hovered above her race's ship.

With that, she and her two racemates set sail from the ship, leaving behind Grant, Ruth, the two nine-tailed foxes, and some level 90 mercenaries.

Except for the 10 people on the ship at the moment, all the others in their group were fighting on the outskirts of these three islands, some of them countering the enemy's blows and others imposing their cultivation pressure on their opponents.

Although they were weaker, they could still counter their opponents and even force them into passive situations.

For example, with 10 level 92 cultivators, it would be possible to completely block a level 94 entity, as long as the group could deal with it for a few seconds without being destroyed.

Given their numbers, Minos' group fought as hard as they could to gain this advantage while their leader was still standing and fighting.

Seeing this from the ship, Ruth once again strengthened her group by focusing her energies on her innate ability to help her allies who had used up most of their strength or were injured.

Invisible threads of energy connected her to these people more strongly, while others like Minos received little help from her at the moment.

Before the battle, Minos had told her to help him only when he was at his limit since her powers wouldn't help him much when he used the supreme weapon.

If Ruth were to help him at such a time, she would only be degrading herself and would not have much of a positive effect on him.

Even with him having temporarily raised her cultivation to level 86, Ruth couldn't help him.

For that, she would have to be at least level 90 to help him deal with the wear and tear of the Divine Sword. If her cultivation were lower than that, she would only lose her strength trying to help him.

That's why she didn't send her regenerative energy to her husband while she helped those she could without exhausting herself excessively.

But she couldn't help looking in Minos' direction every few seconds, watching him fight the three remaining robots in the sky.

At the moment, Minos seemed to be in the middle of a swordsman's duel, moving at high speed while dancing with his opponents, exchanging blows, deflecting attacks, and trying to injure his targets.

Meanwhile, the three robots fought with everything at their disposal, with excellent speed, strength, and movement forms, displaying the formidable power of level 95 and 96 beings.

But as Minos fought with these artificial creatures, he noticed another weakness in his enemies.

'They seem to be more limited than they appear from a distance.' Minos dodged an attack that could have decapitated him and then used his Divine Sword to attack an enemy in front of him.

'You are strong, have a solid body, and are fast, faster than cultivators of your level. However, your fighting skills are limited to brute force and simple arts!' Minos realized this problem when he noticed that none of the opponents had any special techniques.

They fought by combining their great physical strength and speed with the weapons in their possession.

Some had sonic, laser, and plasma weapons, which could be a problem if you weren't fast enough to dodge them, but most relied solely on weapons like swords and spears.

As incredible as it was that these beings could be created from scratch, it still wasn't as special as flesh-and-blood cultivators.

Cultivators could far surpass the complexity of these creatures!

Even those who were less talented and would suffer at the hands of these robots could display more complex powers than those Minos saw!

For example, Sarah had an innate ability to control gravity. So, if she was at the same level as these creatures, she wouldn't even have to move to fight them. She could crush them with a snap of her fingers!

If these beings had similar abilities to the cultivators of this world, Sarah's power might not be enough to deal with beings at the same level as her. But from what Minos observed, these robots didn't seem to be that complex, which might allow the Spiritual World to react!

But even if other robots of this race were the way he thought, Minos still couldn't smile. Even if these creatures were as limited as he thought, they would still be difficult to fight.

'That's a weakness my group will have to work on, but we shouldn't get our hopes up yet.' Minos thought before he delivered his final blow, shouting for all the members of his group to hear him.

"Fall back!"

He said as he combined his spatial understanding with his supreme weapon and delivered a horizontal sword blow, causing several blades to cut through space behind the last robots flying nearby.

As this happened, the enemies were surprised by Minos' movement, but they weren't so afraid when they realized that he was only changing their position.

The rifts in space sucked up the 9 robot creatures on the outskirts of those islands and threw them onto the southern wall of the main island.

At that moment, Minos grabbed a mirrored sphere from his waist and threw it at the island while his allies swam into the sea depths to protect themselves from what was coming next.

"Shit!" Iktun saw Minos' Black Hole Bomb appear very close to the last of the combat robots that were there to protect him and his group.

KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
