The Rise of the Black Plain

A few months after Elena and Julian met, the Pantheon of Honor forces moved to the Black Plain Empire with Abby's approval.

Not only did this group go to the empire of Minos during this period, but in addition to the Pantheon Of Honor Demigods, two other groups from the Divine Continent and three tribes from the Continent of Beasts migrated from their lands to the Black Plain Empire.

As for the Central Continent, the situation of this patch of land in the middle of the planet had changed a lot in recent months. With control of the entire continent returning to local forces and momentary peace, the remaining powers on this continent were quick to move.

Albano, Blackrock, Rosser, the Flaming Empire, and the Evergreen Empire officially asked to join the Black Plain Empire, and all the sovereigns or heirs of these states bent the knee to Empress Abby Miller in those months!

Meanwhile, Vico had reunited the old Ancient Empire, which had been split up long ago and given rise to the Eastern Empire and the Western Empire.

Unfortunately, the entire Quinn family, sovereign of the former Western Empire, perished in the war. As a result, the Travisani family seized power in that state and became the rulers of those lands.

Lusmait and Mairin had also asked to join the new Eastern Empire.

Sista and the Flowers Kingdom were the only states that remained independent from the empires of Vico and Minos on the Central Continent.

These two were already very close to the Black Plain Empire, but were still persevering to maintain their independence.

As it wasn't Vico's or Abby's forces that had been pressuring the continent's powers to integrate with the stronger states, these two states weren't facing foreign pressure. The pressure on them was the fear of a new intensification of the war, which had made the powers of these states consider possible integration into the Black Plain Empire in the future. But for now, they remained independent.

Finally, with these recent developments, most of the strongest in each of these states were now around the main cities of the former Eastern Empire or the core of the Black Plain Empire.

That was the case for the remaining experts of the Spiritual Church, which was currently being officially governed by Gloria, who had become Supreme Pontiff three months ago.

Thus, several groups like Julian's were currently around the Black Plain Empire, several receiving support from the Stuart family, while others were waiting for the opportunity they were currently looking for.

...

In Dry City, Dillian was in the emperor's seat, while some high-ranking members of the imperial government were with him welcoming the group that had just arrived.

Dillian was currently at level 87, but his advances hadn't brought this man any happiness. Ever since Eda's death, he had had a serious, sad expression on his face.

He hadn't smiled once since his wife's death, having only shown negative feelings in recent months.

But today, he was particularly upset, as he had two robots from the Mechanic Empire in front of him who had just asked to meet the local leadership.

They were currently in a truce, so Dillian restrained his urge to kill and decided to see what those 10th-stage robots wanted.

"We are in search of Her Majesty Abby Miller." Said one of the robots when he saw that the empress wasn't around.

"You're going to talk to us, robots. Do you think we'll fall into your trap and allow our leader to meet with you?" Dillian asked in a sharp tone.

"We have no intention of fighting, Dillian." Said the other robot.

They knew well the names of the most important members of the Black Plain Empire government.

"However, we have critical matters to deal with the leader of this state. Only she can decide how to proceed with the matter we have to deal with." Said the other robot.

"You can explain what you want to us, and we'll pass it on to Her Majesty." Elen, currently at level 88, said as she stood in the imperial throne hall next to Minos' grandmother, Patience, who had recently reached level 87.

Maisie was also there, standing next to Dillian, sitting on one of the thrones normally used by Minos' wives.

The emperor's mother was currently at level 90.

The robots saw that they couldn't convince these people, so one of them decided to explain the problem that could soon reach them all.

"You must know that The Adamant Land had an enemy long before you that we were unable to defeat, right? Irpoll is the name of that civilization."

"Yes, we interrogated members of your empire. We're aware of Irpoll." Dillian commented provocatively.

The robot that had started talking about the problem looked at him and said. "That'll be easier then. Irpoll has somehow discovered the war we're fighting in this world. Now they're moving to attack the Mechanic Empire."

moving to attack the Mechanic Empire."

Some people in that imperial throne room opened their eyes wider, for it was Minos' plan to play Irpoll against The Adamant Land!

When they heard the robots saying such a thing, some of the people who knew about Minos' plan couldn't help but imagine that this was their sovereign's doing!

"And what does that have to do with us, robot? If you're in trouble, work it out for yourselves! Go back to your world and leave us alone!" Dillian said to those creatures.

"Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Irpoll isn't just starting to move against us. They tried to break into our organization's headquarters a few days ago to access the universal wormhole that connects our world and this planet where we are.

Our forces managed to prevent this, but it became clear to us that the enemies intended to enter the Spiritual World.

What do you think they want here? They're coming to take advantage of the weakness of our groups and take over this planet for themselves!"

"Coming to the Spiritual World?" Maisie cracked a smile, imagining that this must be Minos' doing. "And why should that be a problem for us? They're your enemies, aliens, not ours."

"It's not that simple, Maisie. These aren't potential allies of yours because they're enemies of an enemy." Said the other robot. "These individuals are much worse than us. They're not coming just to kill us and leave. They will become your greatest enemies if we don't prepare and act together!

Take this to your leader. We have 6 months to a year to prepare. After that, rest assured that not only we but you too will be brutally attacked by those damn apes!"
