The Rise of the Black Plain

After saying his words, Minos motioned for his group to follow him as he made his way to the Council of Elders.

"Hey, what are you doing? Where are you going?" The level 110 Sovereign asked as he and Rhett followed behind them. "Aren't you going to sort out your situation with the guild?"

"Not now." Minos said dryly, while Rhett watched him in silence, wondering what this guy could be up to.

Considering the small size of the guild's inner area, they soon reached the border between the inner area and the council area, where the organization's command center was located.

"I request passage to speak with the Chief Commander about the Black Heart mission. I have new discoveries about the dark liquid my party found on The Obsidian Shore."

The moment Minos said this to the General standing at the entrance to the council, the man recognized the young guild member who had completed that difficult mission decades ago.

Considering how important the Black Heart mission had been to the sect for a long time, he cleared the way for this group, while Rhett swallowed his saliva and stayed behind for fear of getting into trouble by accompanying Minos.

'Be careful with this meeting with the Commander. Trying to lean on him could lead to losses for you!' Rhett said in Minos' mind, not knowing what the young man had in mind.

Did Minos really have something about the Black Heart mission to discuss with the guild commander? Or was he using it to gain access to that Supreme being?

And even if he knew something, would the Commander help him?

Not knowing these answers, Rhett stayed behind at the border between the inner area and the council area.

While he waited to see what would happen, the people who had been in the Records Hall earlier were already spreading the news of Minos' return.

...

"What? Minos' group has returned?" Maximillian stood up from his chair in his office in the Law Enforcement Hall in the inner center.

"Yes, he and the other five who went to the Spiritual World together decades ago were just seen leaving the Records Hall. It seems they found out about Jembei's plot." Said one man from the Spiritual World who was still in the guild after all these years.

Of the remnants left behind, two had died during the time Minos had been away. Of the survivors, they were all much stronger now than they had been when he left to settle the War of the Worlds.

Maximilian clenched his fists in concern and asked. "Did you send someone to monitor them? What about the others he said he would bring? Have they come to Zocarro?"

"I already have someone monitoring Minos. But I don't have any information about his relatives at the moment. If they came with more people, we'll find out in the next minutes."

"Take care of that for me. I'll go to Jembei to make my position clear." Maximillian walked towards the exit of his office, but before he left the man behind, he heard.

"Boss, Minos has reached level 105. They say he raised his cultivation to level 108 by acting against a man from the Records Hall after discovering the truth."

Gulp!

"What?" Maximillian's eyes widened considerably as he stopped and looked back, his expression quickly turning pale.

He couldn't understand how Minos could have reached level 105 elsewhere in the universe in less than nine decades!

'How is that possible?'

...

In another part of the Law Enforcement Hall headquarters, Jembei had just heard the same thing as Maximillian.

"So he's back..." This person said while standing next to him was the one who had brought him this information, but also his superior, a level 114 General of the guild.

This General looked at Jembei and said. "It will be much more difficult for you to deal with Minos if he really has improved as much as your subordinate said."

"Don't worry, General, I'll deal with him as I promised. Just keep giving me space and I'll sort out my situation with Minos in a few weeks."

"I hope so. If you want me to get personally involved, you'll have to give up a lot more than you've already given me." The peak Sovereign said as he stood up and looked deeply at the level 111 alien.

Seeing his strongest ally leave, Jembei felt like breaking his desk in half as he felt Minos standing in his way once again.

'Damn Stuart!'

...

As various people in the guild found out about Minos' return, he got permission to enter the office of the guild's Commander.

As soon as he came face to face with the person who looked like a bull in the body of a giant, six meters tall and very muscular, Minos and his companions made the traditional greeting, bowing their heads in front of this level 117 alien.

"Chief Commander." They said while this individual looked at Minos with interest.

"I believe we have met before, right? You were the young man who completed the Black Heart mission after wasting a large amount of the essence we wanted." The Commander laughed as he remembered Minos, not expecting to see this guy here today.

As the head of a large part of the guild, he obviously wasn't as aware of certain matters that involved lower-ranking members of his organization.

He had even been informed of Minos' death, but he hadn't given it a minute's thought. Therefore, he didn't immediately remember the situation of the young man in front of him.

"You seem to have grown stronger since the last time we saw each other... Your physique seems to have improved along with your strength." This giant being commented as he raised one of his hands and correctly analyzed the situation of Minos' body.

He couldn't help but admire the fantastic ability of his guild member's physique.

"Is this related to the black liquid from the Black Heart mission? Is that why you came to see me today?"

"Commander, I have an update that I believe is relevant to the Black Heart mission. But before we talk about it, are you aware of my position in the guild?" Minos asked seriously.

The giant alien looked at Minos more closely when he saw the boy didn't have the Flashdrain parasite. After thinking about it for a few moments, he remembered something.

"I see. You were presumed dead, right?"
