Chapter 2186 Journey and Doubts?
Minos and a group of more than 60 people from the Black Plain Empire, as well as Maximillian, were in the spaceship, moving through the universal wormhole.
After passing through the spatial distortion in the Spiritual World through which the aliens had arrived earlier, the group began to make their way through the massive tunnel ahead of them, of which they had no idea how large it was and where exactly they would arrive.
All they knew was that they would reach The Adamant Land if they followed this path.
Now Minos, Maximillian, and Ruth were in the control center of the spaceship, where a group of Black Plain Army soldiers, properly armed with alien-like armor, were making their vehicle move.
Ruth used her powers to treat Minos while he ate and drank food rich in energy.
Maximillian sat next to Minos, curious about everything that had happened earlier.
"Minos, how did you do that in the battle?" He asked as he looked at the wing tattoo on one of Emperor Stuart's hands.
Minos looked at the hand and explained. "I had a chance encounter in the Seraphim Ancient Sarcophagus. It gave me the weapon I used to kill Bella's murderer."
Maximilian frowned, not expecting something so valuable to be kept in that place. 'Is this really true?' He asked himself, but he sensed that Minos was sincere.
And it was obvious Minos had demonstrated seraphic wings and very unusual powers.
'But how? Didn't the Seraphim die long ago when they weren't just Demigods?'
Minos said. "Don't ask me how. I can't explain it. I just found something compelling hidden in the wings of a seraph. In exchange for this weapon, I was given a mission that I must fulfill if I meet the requirements."
"Oh? May I ask what that is?" He looked into Minos' eyes as he put aside the things he had in mind.
There was no way Maximilian could do anything about it. The civilization he would eventually go after was much stronger than he or Maximillian could handle. At the same time, this God couldn't return to the Spiritual World to check on the ancient sarcophagus. Finally, the weapon Minos had received could no longer be activated.
With nothing to lose and no fear of what could happen to him, Minos told the truth. "I have to deliver something to a civilization of a higher level than ours. That's all I know."
Ruth already knew this and remained silent, concentrating on helping her husband.
But Maximillian opened his mouth in shock, the first outside the Stuart family to hear. "How much higher?"
"Well, I don't know. But judging by the level of the weapon I received, you can imagine that Gods aren't a big deal to them."
Maximillian stood up when he heard this, not expecting to hear such a thing from someone after he thought he had reached the maximum level.
'Is it true?' He asked himself. But the level of such a weapon was genuinely absolute. 'For someone to leave something like that as a reward for a promise, they must be very unusual.' He clenched his fists.
"I see... It seems that cultivation is truly infinite." He closed his eyes as he sat down again, finding his situation amusing. "The ancients were right. There is always a higher mountain."
"That seems to be the case..." Minos commented. "For all I know, we could just be ants fighting for the entertainment of the real powerhouses of the universe.
But don't think too much about it. It won't be easy to take on such powerful beings, and the aliens seem to have no contact with superior civilizations. At least, none of their Gods seemed to have items as powerful as the one I used."
"That makes sense." Maximillian agreed. "Thank you for telling me the truth. How long ago did you discover all this?"
"A few months," Minos replied. "I couldn't talk about it before. Such information could cause panic and unnecessary worry. I also didn't know how strong this weapon would be to rely on it in our plans."
"I understand. You did the right thing... It's just a pity that we couldn't have prepared ourselves better... Sigh, forget it. There's no point in regretting things that can't be changed now."
Maximillian saw Ruth and Minos' expressions grow more serious and remained silent for a while until he changed the subject. "By the way, can you use your Spatial Kingdom? I've connected to the Spiritual Church's cultivation sanctuary, but I can't sense that place anymore."
"I can't sense my Spatial Kingdom either," Minos replied. "I definitely can't go there or summon things from that place from where we are. But it might be possible to send small things, like letters.
Anyway, I'll have to do the test in the future. But depending on how far away the place we're going to is, even that might not work."
"That's too bad. I imagine you had good riches there." Maximilian commented, thinking about what he would give up on this journey.
Minos nodded in silence, thinking of the things he had collected before leaving.
Minos had not been careless. He had prepared very well, collected 5 Divine Medicines, and stored them in his spatial ring.
He thought that he, Ruth, Gloria, Abby, and Isabella might be unable to access the Spatial Kingdom for many years, depending on their journey through the universe. So, he had prepared for their possible progress toward level 100, away from the Spiritual World.
Now, only he and Ruth would need the medicines and other items he had collected before his group left for the North Sea.
'At least Abby and Gloria will be able to collect their respective medicines if I'm away from the Spiritual World for too long.' Minos thought to himself.
After learning more about time and how to control this essence of the universe, Minos came to the question: does time pass the same everywhere in the universe?
Since he could not confirm this while in the Spiritual World, he feared that even if the journey through the universe seemed short to him, it might be excessively long for others in other places.
For example, one year on a given planet that he could visit in the future could be equivalent to 20 years in the Spiritual World, while 10 short years for him in such a place would be 200 years, enough for Abby and Gloria to reach level 100.
But that wasn't what concerned him most at the moment, so he quickly pushed those thoughts aside and imagined what his journey would be like trying not to think about Isabella all the time.
He would have his time to mourn, but it couldn't be now!
