The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2032 Change in the North Sea

"Your Majesty, we believe the North Sea has been taken over by a force from outside the Spiritual World. Considering their unusual methods and their power to dominate this entire region, which not even the greatest powers in the world possess, we feel that they are not weak.

We don't know the exact strength of their opponents in the Spiritual world, but we think that the place they came from is superior to our world.

But we still have to go through that area to better understand the situation." A high-ranking Sky Whale said to Vico.

A Phoenix then muttered. "We have to find a way to talk to Minso Stuart. He's probably the one who can answer our questions."

"Minos?" Vico looked at the level 96 Phoenix and then at the Black Plain Army boat.

"Where is that young man?"

One of the Demigods on the empire ship saw Vico's look and didn't hide the truth. "Our leader is in the interior of the North Sea, Your Majesty. I can't say what his current situation is, but he's alive. Maybe he's being held by his enemies, or maybe he's trapped in this area ahead for the same reason we can't get into the North Sea."

"What was his purpose in traveling to this area? Does your group know what might have happened to trigger this phenomenon?" Vico asked as his subordinate's memories from earlier told him only the basics.

There were many things the people of the Travisani family didn't know!

The soldier of Minos' army answered truthfully. "He wanted to get proof that there were enemies in the North Sea who would threaten the entire Spiritual World in the future. His goal was to use this evidence to draw the world's attention and create a coalition to defend our planet.

As for what might have happened, the government has no idea. All we know is that before this phenomenon appeared, our leader seemed to have played one of his cards up his sleeve. So, a high-profile battle took place in the North Sea.

'So he wanted to gather evidence... How nice of him to act as an agent of the world.' Vico thought, but he didn't see Minos in a positive light. To him, the young man had only done a good deed for selfish reasons.

But he wouldn't let Minos fool him. This young man was capable of cruel deeds, like throwing an entire region into war to escape his own problems!

Vico remembered all too well how this young man had been riddled with problems in his state before Maximilian's return.

"So he fought against a threat to his life? What is your leader's current level?" 𝓯𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝒃𝓷𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Level 87."

Vico's eyes narrowed at this answer. Level 87 was shallow compared to this man's current reality. But when the war between the western and southern regions began, Minos wasn't even a Sage!

How could Vico not be shocked by Minos' rapid growth during those years?

Considering Emperor Stuart's special powers, he probably had a current fighting ability similar to that of a low-level Demigod. As for his Black Hole Bomb, it should be powerful enough to threaten low-level Demigods.

'This brat has really grown up fast. I woke up at the right time. If I'd waited a little longer, he'd probably have reached the 10th stage and become a problem even for me.' Vico clenched his fists, still thinking about punishing Minos for everything that had happened.

But he would only do that when he understood everything happening.

"What exactly are you doing around the North Sea? I've heard that there are other groups like yours in the whole region. Is that true?" He asked.

A beast from the Ancestral Sea answered Vico. "Yes, Your Majesty. There are dozens of groups like ours around the North Sea right now. We are observing this phenomenon along the entire border of this sea in search of an answer as to how we can use our forces to invade it without being exterminated."

"Oh?" Vico laughed. "You're lucky I went advanced and am here. Without a God against these things, it would be almost impossible for you to get through without taking great risks."

Everyone looked in the direction of the North Sea, feeling strange at what Vico's words implied.

But then that God moved and appeared hundreds of meters above the sea, on the threshold of the area affected by the enemy formations.

"Fortunately for everyone, I'm here. I will stop what's happening around the North Sea and check what exactly is in this area!" He circulated his energy as he said these words, causing a huge aura to appear around him while the people nearby felt the spiritual pressure of a God.

'Shit! What absolute power!' One of the men from the Black Plain Army thought to himself, feeling a terrible sensation in his being as if his life was suddenly in Vico's hands.

Being in the domain of Vico's Soul Avatar, all these beings were now under the influence of this man. If he wanted to hurt them, there was nothing in this world they could do to prevent themselves from being hurt!

As he acted, all the spiritual energy in the area fell under Vico's control so that none of the Demigods near him could use their abilities in front of him.

A golden giant appeared behind Vico's body. Then, a spear-shaped weapon materialized in his hands before he began to move, preparing to unleash a level 100 attack.

The level of this attack would be so high that even ships thousands of kilometers away would feel the power of Vico's move.

However, he only used his spiritual energy and an 'effortless' way to use his powers!

If he were to get serious and use the special power he had gained by reaching level 100, he would cause catastrophes all over the North Sea, temporarily making that area much worse than it was now.

That was the power level of a God, the why cultivators who could reach the 11th stage don't fight!

In this way, Vico attacked the enemy formations, causing them to explode one by one under the power of his 'simple' attack.

Thus, that afternoon, the extraterritorial defenses around the North Sea would fall under Vico's attacks, paving the way for everyone in that region to enter the area where Minos and his group were.
