The Rise of the Black Plain

As Minos' party traveled through Zocarro, the War of the Worlds in the Spiritual World entered its fourth month.

Many battles had taken place in the months since Minos' party left, with casualties on both sides of the conflict. But during this time, the first reinforcements from the forces of the Mechanic Empire arrived in the Spiritual World, with reinforcements from both 10th-stage beings and Gods.

The new Mechanical Emperor was still in seclusion. Still, due to the losses suffered by the invading forces from the Spiritual World, the forces from The Adamant Land were forced to send reinforcements.

Of the 16 Gods who had come to this world at the beginning of the war, only 4 remained alive. Of the 50,000 or so 9th and 10th stage soldiers, only 8,000 had resisted the war so far.

Therefore, about a month and a half ago, the forces of The Adamant Land sent a new group to the Spiritual World.

These reinforcements had arrived in the Spiritual World three days ago, with about 40,000 men between the 9th and 10th stages, along with three Gods.

Meanwhile, none of the Gods of the Spiritual World had fallen since the departure of Minos' group, unlike the many 10th-stage experts who had died in those weeks.

Among the 10th-stage experts who had fallen during this period were some of Minos' acquaintances, such as Forrest, Amber Quinn, Henry Quinn's daughter, and Hannah Mcbride, the former Queen of the Flowers Kingdom.

In addition to them, many others died fighting the invading forces of the Spiritual World, who, despite their loss of personnel, continued to expand their territory.

Because of these territorial advances, the alien group was already targeting areas in the Central Continent, and the war in this area of the Spiritual World was becoming increasingly heated.

And with the arrival of new reinforcements, the situation was about to get even more hectic!

...

At the headquarters of the Black Plain Army...

Willow was waiting for Abby at the entrance to Spatial Kingdom when a blue-haired woman left her place of seclusion for the first time since her husband's departure.

When she met the nervous Willow, Abby got right to the point. "Where are they?"

One member of her group had just called her with the news that the enemies had launched a massive attack on the empire this morning.

Battles were raging all along the western coast of the Black Plain Empire. Still, the most worrying thing was what was happening right above the army's headquarters.

At that very moment, Vico and Aarav were doing their best to hold off the four enemy gods who had just launched an attack on the area!

Meanwhile, on the city's outskirts, the army men were fighting against the 10th-stage companions of the four Gods of the Mechanic Empire.

Willow answered the empress's question. "They're right over here, Your Majesty."

With that answer, Abby didn't hesitate to run to the place where the remains of the strongest warriors of the Spiritual World who had been killed in the last few months, but also before the war began, lay.

She said to Willow. "I will bring half of them back to life. If I bring them all back at once, they'll have less time on our side, and we'll lose them all at once."

Willow nodded to Abby before watching the blue-haired woman quickly begin her fusion of techniques to bring these beings into the world.

Since she didn't have Minos to help her make the dead understand the current situation, Abby concentrated on awakening from the sleep of death those who had died in the war. So Willow stayed by her side to ensure the safety of the Spiritual World forces' trump card while she watched the preserved bodies of many of her comrades rise from their graves in that secret area of the Black Plain Army headquarters.

Within seconds, the war dead realized their situation and quickly noticed the difference between where they had fallen and where they were now.

Some of them already knew of the existence of this place in the heart of the Black Plain Empire and quickly understood that they had died and were being resurrected by Abby.

Others, like Henry and the level 100 Sky Whale, who had died in the first battle of the war, were surprised by their surroundings but quickly realized their situation when they noticed the aura of death surrounding their bodies.

"That..." Henry looked around and soon saw Abby and Willow not far from him.

"Sorry to have to bring you back to life, experts of the Spiritual World," Abby said to everyone. "But we need your strength to deal with the aliens. I hope you can help us again before you return to your eternal sleep for good."

"Tsk! Damned aliens!" The level 100 Sky Whale shouted as he flew out of the area, eager to take another enemy God to his grave.

Everyone there was eager to take revenge on their killers. As soon as Abby said her words, hardly anyone there hesitated before making their way to the outer reaches of the quasi-Spatial Kingdom of Minos' army headquarters.

Abby exhausted herself to the limit, and soon Willow brought her back to the Minos Spatial Kingdom since she wouldn't be needed in battle after what she had already done.

"I'm going to join the fight," Willow said as she said goodbye to Abby. "If I fall, bring me back so I can scare the damn aliens."

With those words, she left the place and quickly arrived at the place where a battle of phenomenal proportions was taking place.

The first battle of the War of the Worlds had been incredible. But that conflict had taken place in the faraway North Sea, where there wasn't much to destroy and create consequences for weak living beings.

This area in the Black Plain Empire was completely different from that maritime location, with nearby cities, plantations, forests, and much more.

Because of this, when Willow joined the battle in this area, she couldn't help but be struck by the sight of her surroundings.

While gods and Demigods fought over an area of more than ten cubic kilometers, the surrounding terrain was devastated, with mountaintops already completely destroyed, pieces of terrain flying away, and flames covering a large area.

At the same time, many forms of attack were flying from one side of the area to the other, and the remaining attacks that could injure people between levels 95 and 100 were escaping from the area and heading to the outskirts.

She didn't think much of the destruction around her and soon joined the group of living and dead that Abby had revived to fight the aliens.

That was the beginning of the second great battle of the Gods in War of the Worlds!
