Chapter 2587 Assistance from the Elder
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
After a few weeks on the Cerulean Isle, Minos could leave the post after the arrival of a level 114 General.
He returned to the guild headquarters in Examire with Kendrick and Grisdi, and was soon joined by Abby and the General, who had accompanied the subjects of their experiments with the black liquid.
Minos didn't immediately tell the elders about his plans to create a level 115 corpse in the future when he encountered a situation that was more or less similar to the previous one, or even worse. He focused his time on continuing to work in the guild's internal area and testing his theories with Abby and his fellow faction members.
He trained hard during these months, controlling enough of his strength to return to training with his children and wives without putting them in danger.
His cultivation was approaching the level 110, and he already felt that he could advance before the family tournament, which he planned to hold in about two years.
Kendrick and Grisdi did exactly as Minos had instructed. Upon returning to the guild, the two went into seclusion, a situation similar to that of Lily, Hollie, and Gloria, who had come to a conclusion about how best to prepare for the future without the family leader's guidance…
Ruth and Abby, on the other hand, had only cultivated the bare minimum, both keeping a close eye on the guinea pigs still under their supervision.
But after months of work at headquarters, Minos was feeling the urge to return to the battlefield, this time with his ambitious plans to create a Supreme corpse!
...
"Would you like me to accompany you?" The Commander of the Armhands asked Minos in surprise, staring wide-eyed at the small human in front of him.
Even the Elder next to him and one of the three Generals in the guild's command room couldn't help but raise their eyebrows at Minos and stare at him in silent surprise.
Next to Minos were Abby and the General who had accompanied the two in their experiments and observations, the only ones there with whom Minos had already spoken about his next plans.
Minos smiled and explained. "Commander, and Elder, we have practically completed our observations of the 10 guinea pigs. In addition to what we presented earlier, we now know that the corpses can cultivate themselves and even absorb special resources.
Their affinity for resources is especially different from what they had in life, but that's not a problem. As long as they can evolve and become stronger, there are opportunities for us.
But before we do the last and most difficult of the experiments, it'll be perfect for us to have a chance to advance one of them to the 12th stage, to understand their limitations in advancing stages and what one of them will be like outside of Abby and I's control.
For that, I need someone who can fight a 12th stage being, a particularly strong one, by the way."
Minos gestured to himself as he spoke, the attention of each of the powerful individuals there focused on him. "I could sacrifice my Flashdrain parasite myself and resolve the problem, but then I wouldn't be able to observe the corpse or bring the news back to the Council. Someone who doesn't get weakened after a few moments of combat would be better at stopping the level 115 corpse and preserving the creature's body."
The Elder and the Commander looked at each other, understanding Minos' point and how beneficial such a test could be for the guild.
As interesting and promising as what Minos and Abby had done with the bodies of the Sovereigns was, those dead people wouldn't change much, if anything, about the guild's situation in Oqia as it stood.
However, a Supreme-level corpse would be enough to cause enough change for all the Elders of the Council to take a deep interest.
"Alright, I'll go," The level 118 alien next to the Commander said after a minute of silence, surprising the Generals and the Commander himself.
"Elder..." The Commander opened his mouth and stared at his superior in disbelief.
More than a thousand years had passed since this Elder had last set foot outside the headquarters.
Minos clenched his fists, confident that with someone at level 118 at his side, his experiment would succeed.

The only thing that bothered him now was the possibility that this might also be the guild Elder monitoring him.
'This will be an opportunity for me to see a Supreme in action in a proper battle of Supremes.' Minos thought silently as he made a gesture of thanks to the level 118 Elder.
The only battle he had ever seen that could compare to the one about to take place was the one against the General who had sacrificed his parasite and forced Minos' group to do the same. But the strength of cultivators who used an artificial and temporary method to strengthen themselves was not the same as that of beings who had cultivated to their level!
'Maybe I can get some tips on how to prepare to deal with the Elder who is watching me. A battle like the one that is sure to happen soon will be great for me to learn more.'
"I won't be able to be at your side, Officer Minos Stuart. Otherwise, the enemies will notice and we won't have the chance to use this experiment to wipe out our enemies. But I'll be watching you closely. Just be prepared to give me a few weeks' notice of your departure. When you get the signal to leave, I'll be watching."
"Then I'd like to give my notice now," Minos said promptly. "I intend to leave for the Judgement Tower as soon as possible."
Judgement Tower was the name of the headquarters of one of Firestone Mines' weakest allied forces in the war.
But even though it was Firestone Mines' weakest ally, this sect still had three Sovereigns in its ranks, one at level 116 and two at level 115.
This would be the perfect test for the Supreme corpse that Minos wanted to raise!
"Oh? Then give me a few weeks. I'll make some preparations and inform the Council of my departure."
Minos nodded in understanding, looking forward to this new mission away from headquarters.
