After his lines, Minos immediately circulated his 8th technique, making the glorious projection of his soul show above Dry City.
Those who had not yet seen it naturally opened their eyes as they observed this Soul Avatar, noting its robustness and dense spiritual fluctuations.
'Minos has a very robust and solid cultivation base...' Oswald looked at that and felt thrilled, noting one day, his grandson would become a Demigod, the first in his lineage to achieve that feat.
Maisie and Patience noticed this too, feeling very proud of Minos.
But while everyone was paying attention to the changes the Space and Time Avatar had undergone, he fused his Chaotic Gravity and Devouring Art techniques.
Immediately upon doing so, several mini-black holes appeared in the surroundings, showing the people there and Minos how much faster this could happen now that he was a Spiritual Sage.
At the same time, more energy from the surroundings was being used to form these black holes, weighing less about Minos' soul, so he was spending less than 20% of his energy on this fusion.
When he formed these tiny black holes, Minos joined some of them together, forming four larger regions of space capable of easily swallowing even level 85 cultivators.
Then he stole the cultivation bases of some of those people in the surrounding area, quickly raising his level to level 82.
In doing so, he immediately strengthened his black holes, raising his level to the 9th stage limit.
With that move, even a level 90 Demigod would have to watch out for those black holes!
'Incredible!'
'His Majesty's level has really risen a lot...'
Gulp!
'Imagine when he advances to level 90? Maybe only Gods will be above him!' Some thought about it, looking forward to when that would happen.
At that time, the Black Plain Empire would no longer have any threats to make them worry!
While some were thinking of similar things, Minos began to move his black holes around the core of Dry City, creating a formation with these regions of space.
He placed three of them in lower positions as if they were corners of an equilateral triangle. Meanwhile, the last of them stood above the central area of the triangle, a few miles away from each of the other black holes.
By placing each of his black holes at similar distances from each other, Minos used his new abilities regarding Chaotic Gravity, creating spatial distortions in space in this black hole formation.
Immediately after he began manipulating space in such a way, everyone in Dry City felt as if the day was slowly giving way to night as the blue sky above them disappeared.
At the same time, something like a dark cloth appeared between the spaces of the black holes, following a shape that, from a distance, looked curved but up close looked straight, like the outer walls of a pyramid.
Minos positioned the black holes below ground in parts without human constructions, creating a gigantic dark dome over Dry City.
He skillfully controlled the black holes lower down to not increase their size by absorbing mass and spiritual energy in the surroundings beyond his interest.
When they were in position, the 'fabric' between the sides of this new dome finished transforming, becoming like the sky on a night when one couldn't see the stars.
At the same time as this, each of the black holes released large amounts of spiritual energy absorbed from outside the dome into the city.
While the day seemed to have come to an end, the spiritual density rose considerably.
Gulp!
"That..." The level 85 Spiritual Sage, with the rest of Minos' group, opened his mouth in shock, feeling as if the entire Dry City had turned into a gigantic cultivation room capable of nurturing even level 90 cultivators!
Everyone in that group realized this, shocked by Minos' creation.
Minos had reached a level of understanding about space that he could already manipulate the spiritual energy in the surroundings in such a way that his black holes could filter out the surrounding free energy and return it to the interior of this space!
Also, due to the properties of this new Dry City dome, spiritual energy could only enter and not leave this space unless it exceeded the level of the black holes at the time!
However, these were only the secondary properties of Minos' creation!
"What you are seeing about Dry City is the new defensive barrier of the city. It can increase the density of spiritual energy inside that pyramidal dome, but that's not the purpose of it." As he spoke this out loud for the whole city to hear, Minos threw a high-level grade-3 weapon in the direction of these dark barriers over the city.
The moment he did that, that item flew into that barrier that looked like just a dark fabric preventing light from entering Dry City. However, just as it was about to cross that thing that looked like a fabric, the weapon suddenly underwent an extreme transformation.
Upon reaching a point of no return, it distorted, turning into something resembling a particle noodle. It was then sucked into the nearest black hole from where it was.
Minos continued. "That is the best defensive barrier that can exist. It can develop as it absorbs things and rises to a level that can even overcome me!
As such, please don't go near it for anything in this world. Once you touch that fabric, there is no turning back. There is only the darkness of death!
This is our city's new defense, a gift from me."
Gulp!
Many people in this city looked up, seeing the absence of light above them and fearing approaching those boundaries.
"But isn't that dangerous for us?" Maisie asked. "How will we get out of here?"
Minos smiled upon hearing that and then moved.
Divine Seal: Portal!
He concentrated more than 60% of his strength on this move, making seals with his hands and striking out in two different directions.
Circular seals with various inscriptions flew toward the two ends of this new dome, touching that dark fabric without being absorbed due to Minos' control over this.
Immediately upon integrating parts of that dome, two semi-transparent areas appeared in the places Minos had attacked, with the darkness there disappearing to emerge something distorted that one could not see through.
"From today on, those will be the only two entrances to Dry City. Anyone can leave only by passing through those areas, but entering will be more complicated. Only by being authorized by the ones controlling the entrance will you be able to enter once you are out."
