Chapter 2035 Sudden Change
Upon seeing Henricus Longus' prophecy for the Spiritual World, Vico was shocked to find that the enemy side not only had more and stronger Demigods than his world, but they also had several Gods.
Vico knew that there were others besides him who tried to reach the 11th stage in this era. However, even if everything went well, the Spiritual World would only have 4 Gods when the enemies reached their planet. With that number of experts, it would be practically impossible for them to win the supremacy war!
'This is terrible! We're screwed!' He concluded while still feeling the power of the God of Time, the last fraction of Henricus Longus' power left in the ring of the Spatial Kingdom.
'Young man, don't make the mistake of killing my chosen one. I chose him for a reason.' The voice said in Vico's mind while the spirit body, which had been visible to the Emperor a moment ago, was no longer visible. 'He has the potential to change the fate of the world. So work with him. You are already a God, so he won't be able to do anything against you.
Besides, it will take time for him to grow up, and you can become the one who spared him. I'm sure my chosen one won't be unfair to you.'
Vico looked at Minos as he saw how everyone around him stood still under the power of the God of Time.
'Think about it...' The remaining fragment of Henricus Longus said in a much weaker tone, while Vico gradually felt that he could move more easily. 'I just spent the last remnant I had in this world on you. After my departure, nothing will stand in the way of you and my chosen one.
But be aware that whatever you choose will return to you in no time! If you choose death, it's death you'll see again in a few decades!'
With these words, the last spark of Henricus Longus disappeared from this world, and Minos lost the last layer of protection that the ancient expert's legacy had left him.
With the complete disappearance of Henricus Longus from the Spiritual World, Vico saw the passage of time in the surroundings return to normal. At the same time, Minos' companions looked at him strangely, afraid he was doing something he shouldn't.
Vico closed his eyes for a moment and sighed. He had many reasons to take action against Minos. But all along his journey, he had believed in the words of the prophets and seers.
He had only grown so much and became the bastion of the Eastern Empire because of his ability to listen to the words of older experts and seers.
As someone who had seen the destiny predicted by the seers come true many times in his life, he didn't doubt what the greatest seer of all times had shown him!
Then he opened his eyes and said. "Minos Stuart, as much as we had our problems, I believe you didn't behave badly regarding Maximillian. At the same time, the problem you've exposed to the rest of the world is really complicated. So let's leave our past problems where they belong, in the past.
From now on, I'll judge your situation and your person by the things you do. I'm giving you my trust, so don't waste it."
Minos was the most shocked of all the people there to hear this, not expecting that the most terrible enemy he thought he might have to face in the world would actually forgive him in such a simple and sudden way.
Ruth was one of the most surprised people there, not expecting Vico to act so simply.
'Is he serious?' She looked at the blond man with the terrible aura, her eyes wide open while her hands trembled.
Vico was so strong that it would be natural for him to be arrogant and decide to kill Minos without a second thought. But after releasing that murderous intent, he suddenly became much calmer and decided to let Minos live.
That was even strange to Minos' companion, who knew the least about Emperor Travisani's situation with their leader.
'It looks like everything is going to end well...' Nymmas sighed as he realized that his tribe would not be harmed by an act of a God and that he wouldn't have to try to intervene in the situation.
On the other hand, Grant looked at the historic enemy of his Western Empire, saw how far this man had come, but still remained calm.
'Vico is really very impressive. He sees Minos' potential better than any of us.'
Minos smiled bitterly and said. "I thank you for your confidence. I hope I won't disappoint you, Your Majesty Travisani."
He breathed quietly, greatly relieved after Vico's sudden change of mood.
Minos had no idea what could have happened to change Vico's mind, but he thought it had something to do with the situation in the world.
So, while this God was still watching him closely, he said. "Since we're going to be working together from now on, Your Majesty Travisani, I have good and bad news."
"Tell me the bad news first." Vico landed beside Minos and walked towards the entrance of the alien headquarters.
"The bad news is that although my group has killed almost all the aliens in this area, these creatures are much more technologically advanced than we are and have already notified their reinforcements about our planet. Sooner or later, we will be visited by a much more formidable force than the one that was here before, which will come to exterminate us and take over this planet."
"And what's the good news?"
"The good news is that it won't happen overnight, and in the meantime, between now and the arrival of stronger enemies, we can try to learn the enemy's technologies," Minos said sincerely. "Over the past few months, my group has managed to learn a lot, even though we don't have good experts or top-level cultivators.
Before, we were stuck here with no way to get out of the North Sea, but now, with Your Majesty's help, we can use the strongest in the Spiritual World to master what the aliens left behind.
If we can learn at least 10% of what they left behind, I think we'll be much stronger in the short time we have before their main forces arrive."
Vico looked at one of the men in Minos' crew, who was dressed in alien armor, and immediately understood what the young Emperor Stuart had in mind.
"You are right. This isn't bad news. We have the people and the time to try to master what our enemies left behind."
When Vico said this, several levels 97 and 96 Demigods finally arrived in the area, a few minutes behind Emperor Travisani.
