The Rise of the Black Plain

Minos was right in thinking that Henricus Longus' goal was to make him use his powers to create a super-powerful army based on his techniques.

Immediately after he put the Spatial Sword aside, he looked at the Infinite Dream. He could now use this technique to affect 16 people who were 100% stronger than him, a 100% improvement over the previous phase of this technique.

This number of people might not seem like much, but it was just an illusion caused by the number. With this technique, he could now defeat 16 people who were 100% stronger than him with a single glance, who could be level 94 or 95 Demigods if he used his innate ability in conjunction with this technique.

His Dragon's Gaze was superior to this mental technique, so since it had also evolved, Minos felt that it could even affect level 96 Demigods!

Considering how different the levels of the 10th stage were, he still didn't feel he could affect high-level Demigods.

However, not only was Minos now able to defeat 16 people who were 100% stronger than him with the Infinite Dream, but if he attacked weaker people of the level of Kendrick, who was currently at level 72, he could defeat more than 1 million people at the same time!

This was a divine ability! If Minos wanted to, he could use this ability on an entire city and make the entire population live in an illusion under his control!

As for his Bright Eyes, the secondary ability generated by this technique, which gave him the ability to see through people's auras and even through space, had evolved to an unprecedented level.

Before, Minos could spy on people's talents, physiques, and most compatible laws, and even look through space and see enemies hiding in pockets in the vacuum of space. But now, he could see space folds like those in the Spatial Kingdom.

With the help of the Bright Eyes, he saw the folds of this Spatial Kingdom and quickly realized that it was located in the northern region of the Central Continent.

As he had expected, this Spatial Kingdom had been created between the borders of the ancient Brown Kingdom and the Kingdom of Waves, near the western coast of the northern region.

'If I'm going to open a door to the Spatial Kingdom, it has to be in this place.' Minos realized that he would have to move the headquarters of his forces to the vicinity of the old Yellow City if he wanted to proceed with opening an alternative entrance to this region of space.

However, as he thought about the orders he would have to give to make this happen, he realized the implications of this new ability.

'Wait a minute... If I can see through this Spatial Kingdom, doesn't that mean I can see through others similar to this one?' He clenched his fists, feeling that this would give him some very great advantages in identifying and even invading Spatial Kingdoms.

Minos wasn't necessarily thinking of robbing his neighbors in the Spiritual World but rather of exploring some lost spaces in this world, things that perhaps no one else knew about or that had no owners.

The Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom he had entered earlier was one such place, and as far as Minos could tell, there was no guarantee that there weren't other such places around the world.

'I'll see about that later.' He kept this in mind, quite excited about his new possibilities.

After thinking about it, he focused on his techniques, causing the aura around him to change and a feeling of speed to come over him.

The surroundings became slightly distorted as Minos felt how the Explosive Steps had developed in this stage.

'While using this technique, my maximum speed is now 800 meters per second, and my senses are 85% faster than before. I should be able to handle surprise attacks from even level 95 Demigods. Only someone above that level would be able to surprise me now!'

The space around him changed again, this time with the gravity changing according to Minos' analysis of his Chaotic Gravity technique.

In the previous stage advancement, he had greatly increased his mastery over his black holes due to the phase advancement of this technique. Now, Minos felt something similar to what he had felt when he reached level 80 when he realized he could further develop what he had done around Dry City in the dome of black holes.

'I have a feeling that Dry City will become a quasi-Spatial Kingdom when I upgrade the defense dome with my new abilities.' He thought with a smile on his face.

This would basically raise the defenses of his capital to a level that would make it difficult for even Gods to enter the place!

'This is perfect. I'll be able to hide my best advances for the next few decades without too much risk.'

Continuing his analysis of his current characteristics, Minos looked at his cultivation technique. It had improved in the speed of spiritual energy absorption, but due to the increased level, it would take him longer to improve from now on.

Even if he used his innate ability to steal the cultivation base of the giant bones in the Spatial Kingdom, it would still take him more than twice as long to advance in this stage as in the previous one!

From what he felt, it would take him about 7 or 8 years to reach level 91.

This was obviously a concern for Minos!

Even though his estimate put him at the top of this world in terms of cultivation speed, it was still a long time for someone like him, who would soon have to face the aliens and defend his family from Gods.

After that, he turned to his soul technique to continue to know his strengths to the best of his ability and also to train to strengthen himself for the arrival of the aliens.

The Space and Time Avatar had improved greatly, tripling the size of his space domain while quadrupling the time difference between inside and outside of his domain.

The bonus he would receive from activating his other techniques in the form of soul projection had also improved, from a 20% improvement before to a 40% improvement now.

After reviewing all of his techniques, Minos sighed in satisfaction at his growth as a cultivator before picking up the last golden scroll he would use to learn something new in this world.

When a cultivator reached level 100, they didn't gain a new place to learn new techniques. They would naturally form a skill that was perfectly suited to them.

Therefore, the tenth technique was the last one for a Spiritual World cultivator!

"I've finally arrived here..." He murmured as he looked at the scroll of the last technique that Henricus Longus had prepared for him.
