A week after the confrontation of Minos and the level 90 Spiritual Demigod...
Minos was at this moment inside a black hole he had just created, using this method to hide his tracks from the Eastern Empire's Spiritual Sage or anyone else who was watching him.
Minos could control his black holes so he, his clothes, artifacts, and small things not be absorbed by the singularity. Because of these characteristics, he could come and go from the Spatial Kingdom and take strange actions without the risk of being noticed.
Outside the black hole, all that an observer could see and feel was darkness and the absence of spiritual signs. So he had traveled to get this map in his hands in the Spatial Kingdom and was now doing what he should to begin his new journey.
Minos cut the tip of one of his fingers with his low-level grade-4 sword, then allowed a drop of his blood to fall onto that ancient piece of cloth.
That map showed a former area of the Evergreen Empire, but that was a floating island that had been abandoned, so its location should no longer be in that state, as innocent people might think.
So Minos couldn't just use that map in the traditional way, heading for the vicinity of that state.
He followed the procedure he had learned from one of the women of the Flowers Kingdom to get the key to the Seraphim Ancient Sarcophagus.
Following his drop of blood coming into contact with that fabric, suddenly, the impurities on it repelled. At the same time, a red glow appeared all over that thing.
Meanwhile, a large amount of energy from Minos' black hole singularity was absorbed by that thing, causing this emperor to frown as he noticed the power of that item.
'That must be at least a medium-level grade-4 artifact!' He pondered, finally realizing the quality of that map, which was also a key to something.
Then, amidst the absorption of energy and its intense glow, that thing changed color, turning golden, until a beam of light shot toward Minos' body.
That beam was not evil and only contained what was necessary for one to be able to access the location that this map led to. So Minos didn't back down and accepted that spiritual key into his mind.
Simultaneously, the map's fabric turned into countless pieces, activating something that made Minos feel like he was entering an illusion.
He found himself in a quiet place, with clouds covering almost all the surroundings and water coming up to his heels.
A tall, muscular man dressed in all-black clothing stood with his back to him, his face slightly turned to the side, revealing part of his face.
He looked handsome, with a sharp appearance. Still, the serious expression on his face made it difficult to consider him friendly.
He then said. "You are late... Perhaps I am no longer in this world."
Minos frowned his eyebrows and asked. "Who are you? What is the meaning of this?"
"I am the one who created this map, Maximillian Flamen. By all means, hurry up. Perhaps you can free me before the damned Maximus and his people overtake me."
"Maximus?" Minos frowned his eyebrow. "Maximus has been dead for a few million years."
"What?" The figure in Minos' illusion turned to him before the whole thing disappeared, and Emperor Stuart's consciousness returned to the interior of that black hole.
After that, he saw all the fabric of the map disappear, but right after that, he began to feel something in his mind, like something calling to him.
