The Rise of the Black Plain

Meanwhile, on the Divine Continent...

In the ancient temple of the Pantheon of Honor, a group of giant ape-like creatures stood on the outskirts of this place, which had been abandoned years before they arrived on this continent.

Now, the former home of the Pantheon of Honor was the headquarters of the forces from Irpoll!

From this place, the strongest of the Irpoll who had come to this world were commanding their forces in this world, leading the "purification" of the central continent, where they were gradually tearing down the human cities to build lush forests like those of their homeworld.

There were 3 Gods of this civilization, the only ones in this world to deal with the enemies in their path on this expansionist journey they had started about 4 years ago.

As much as Irpoll was stronger than The Adamant Land, they had won the last war by a small margin. It had been nothing like what the Spiritual World had done in the early part of the War of the Worlds.

Irpoll had suffered much more in the past, losing as many or more of its specialists as the forces of the Minos world.

So when they joined the War of the Worlds, they didn't have dozens of Gods to send to the Adamant Land and the Spiritual World.

The group had only sent ten experts, five of whom had survived to this day, two in The Adamant Land and three in the Spiritual World.

The others had died in the battles that basically ended the Mechanic Empire's dominance over The Adamant Land and in the battles they had fought in the Spiritual World over the past few years.

Anyway, just three Gods in the Spiritual World were enough for this group. Each of their experts was as strong as Callie, and even when they had to face the survivors of the Mechanic Empire and the Spiritual World at the same time, they were able to handle their problems well.

Of course, their situation wasn't easy. They had a better chance of winning in the current situation, but there were problems on their way.

The biggest of these problems was the Ice Age, which affected them greatly.

However, even amid the Ice Age, since their arrival in the Spiritual World, these beings had continued to progress in their plans. They had conquered the entire Divine Continent and were now half a step away from conquering the Continent of Beasts.

After all, the three Gods of Irpoll were in this temple, controlling their territory in this world but also standing by in case they needed to move.

At that moment, the three of them were discussing their plans for domination.

"How are we going to deal with those cockroaches hiding in the Ancestral Sea?" One of the three giant monkeys asked.

"We have to deal with the natives of this world first. The Ice Age is especially terrible for us to attack underwater areas. Therefore, dealing with the forces of the Central Continent must be our priority," said one of them. "But the Ice Age should be over in a few years. When that happens, we'll strike with deadly force at the hideout of those vermin." The third God said in a determined tone.

They hated the beings from the Mechanic Empire. Although they intended to destroy the forces of the Spiritual World, they would honestly delay their plans to rule that world in order to kill their ancient enemies first.

"We can do that. We'll continue with our plans to dominate the Continent of Beasts, and then we'll enter the Central Continent.

Once the seas of this world have calmed down a bit, we can deal with the worms hiding in the Ancestral Sea." The second God commented, agreeing to exterminate the creatures in The Ancestral Land first.

"At last, our dominion over this world is assured." The first of them said with a satisfied smile on his face. "It's only a matter of time before this world is completely under our control.

That woman Callie won't be able to stop us once the Ice Age is over. Then we can cleanse this continent of the cursed race that inhabits it."

"We must avoid going there for now. She's quite powerful." One of them suggested, feeling that there was no need to take great risks when everything was going well for them.

The Ice Age would end in less than half a decade. So it would be better for them to avoid the Central Continent, at least until they had completely dominated the Continent of Beasts.

The last time they attacked the territories of the Black Plain Empire, they suffered greatly in the battles and retreated in defeat from that area.

And unlike the aliens from The Adamant Land, they didn't have a bunch of robots to fight alongside them. All of their companions were living beings who, once dead, could not be easily replaced.

"By the end of the next decade, Irpoll will have its own intergalactic empire!" said one of the three at the end of this conversation, confident of their eventual victory in the War of the Worlds.

...

Another year has passed on Zocarro...

Meanwhile, in Gunaway Refuge, Minos and his people were finally preparing to leave this place!

Another year had passed without a hitch for everyone, and the wait for the first group to travel to the artificial moon was finally over.

This afternoon, Minos, Ruth, and one of their companions would leave this island to finally go to the Artificial Moon, more than a million kilometers away from Zocarro.

Meanwhile, the group was fully prepared for the start of their intergalactic journey, with everything in place for their departure from the Universal Space Station on the artificial moon.

Not only that but with one more year of cultivation, Ruth was practically on the threshold between the end of the Mortal Journey and the beginning of the Divine Journey!

With a few more months, she would be able to reach level 100 even without the use of Divine Medicine!

So, as soon as the group gathered in the morning, Minos gave all the necessary advice to the three people who would stay behind to travel in two more months.

After their last meeting in this world, they bid farewell to the robot and the two Spiritual World natives who would stay behind before heading to the station from which they would depart.

When they arrived at that magnificent place, which seemed to have a large elevator leading to the sky, they didn't hesitate to enter and follow the directions to the departure area of this world.

As soon as they showed their reservations, the three of them gained access to a special platform, where two other individuals departing from Zacarro soon joined them for this special moment.

Minos and Ruth held each other's hands, having prepared well to endure the long journey via this world's special means of transportation.

As they smiled, beams of colored light appeared around them before their journey began!
