Chapter 2081 Back to the Home of the Ancient Folk's Nemesis
After a few moments of flying with the three relatives of the Goddess of Life, Minos arrived in an area of Albano that anyone who knew the area would avoid at all costs.
Arriving at this place shrouded in a dark fog, Minos took his group's lead while the three high-level Sages followed behind him in fear.
They could sense that this place was not normal!
"What is this place, Your Majesty?" Asked the only man there besides Minos. "Have you been here before?"
"Yes. When I was Spiritual Emperor, I came here with Abby. We were lucky to survive what's in this place." Minos said as he saw through the fog, looking toward the canyon where he and his first wife had stopped long ago to look at the place where an altar stood at the bottom of the canyon.
"Spiritual Emperor?" The two women looked at Minos with wide eyes, unbelieving that he had dared to come to this place when he was so weak.
They were high-level Sages, but they still felt a threatening energy coming from where they were going. How could Minos come here when he was only at the 7th stage?
'It's no wonder he's so powerful. He has an insane will! He's willing to do anything to grow!' The Sage who had asked this thought.
"Anyway, let's go faster. It looks like an old acquaintance is waiting for us." He said as he quickened his pace and soon reached the canyon, from where he could see into the mist-covered area where there was an altar at the bottom of the canyon, in that area of red earth.
When the three of them reached Minos, they immediately saw an old man standing next to the altar, digging what looked like a grave.
He was dressed all in white, but his clothes were dirty from the red earth.
According to Minos, this was not earth but blood.
Then, they all heard the voice of the old man in white calling them while they were still hundreds of meters away.
"Come down from there. Help me dig..." A deep voice said before he stopped and looked up, feeling a familiar fluctuation.
"You!" Suddenly, the curse conscious in this area remembered the young man who had escaped from him decades ago.
His face was contorted, making his already ugly appearance even worse.
He had a face that seemed to be the stitching together of several different human facial parts. One eye is black, the other red, a disproportionate nose is in a distinct orange-white, the right cheek is white, and the left cheek is black. Meanwhile, the right half of his lips were frozen in a smiling position and the left in an angry one.
Half of his forehead was cut, and the other half had veins showing through the skin, with sweat dripping from the pores.
In addition, they could see the sutures connecting each part of this person's face, indicating that someone had done it.
"You! You bastard, you're finally back!" The curse of this place screamed as the energy in the surroundings began to stir, going into overdrive as his apparent level 70 rose rapidly, instantly making the three behind Minos feel that this would be more dangerous than they had imagined.
"Shit! A level 99 Demigod!" The man shouted as he broke into a cold sweat.
Minos jumped down from the cliff, quickly standing in front of the curse of this place with a smile on his face. "You seem to remember me... But today will be different than back then. I've changed a lot since then."
The old man looked Minos up and down and noticed this was no lie.
"You're very different. You've even reached level 90... Tsk, your talent is better than I thought, brat. But do you think it's enough for you to come here and tease me? Today, I will do what I should have done decades ago!"
Minos bared his teeth at the creature while stimulating the chaotic energy he had stolen from the giant bones of the Spatial Kingdom. Decades ago, those bones had driven the curse away from such a place. Now, facing this creature, he wanted to see if it would work on him.
And indeed, it worked. The moment he did, the curse of this place changed its expression as it jumped back a few meters, feeling threatened by Minos.
"That energy... You bastard! You dared to absorb the power of those things?" He opened his mouth and made an expression of hatred and a little fear.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Minos took a step forward as he activated his tenth skill.
As he stepped forward, all the energy gathered by the being between levels 99 and 100 and the curse realized that Minos had really changed a lot.
Feeling that many of his powers were being nullified as if he weren't there, he felt a little desperate, sensing this human might become a danger to him if he continued to grow.
In all history, not even the Gods had been able to eliminate him.
However, for the first time in millions of years, he felt this could change!
'I don't know how he became so powerful, but I feel that if I let him go, he will come back in a few years to destroy me.' This creature thought to himself, being careful as he looked at Minos.
But while he was looking at Minos and thinking about how to solve this problem, he heard. "Old curse, I'm not here to eliminate you if that's what you're worried about. You've lived in the Spiritual World for so long, so you must know a thing or two about ancient facts. I'm curious if you can answer some of my questions."
"Tsk! Don't try to trick me, human! I know you're looking for a weakness in me to kill me!"
Minos ignored the curse and asked. "Do you remember the Ancient Folk? Do you know about them?"
The Ancient Folk were a prehistoric civilization of the world that had left behind the cultivation rules they had developed. But little was known about what this civilization was like, how it had lived, and how it had developed its knowledge. Most of what was available in this world was just theories about how they managed to discover the cultivation rules.
As Minos had already discovered, the Spiritual World was a small part of a larger world, Panvuter. But that larger world and the current world of this level 90 Demigod were very different in terms of rules and levels.
After the destruction of Panvuter, the Spiritual World changed many times until it reached a stability that lasted several million years.
The Ancient Folk were the first civilization to decipher the new rules of the world, and part of their journey was to deal with the instability that preceded the stability that lasted until today!
That was what interested Minos and what was behind his question!
