The Rise of the Black Plain

“My name is Julian Kleinmann. I am a member of the Pantheon Of Honor.”

“Pantheon Of Honor?”

‘Pantheon Of Honor? But that’s not…’

‘That is one of the most powerful organizations in the Divine Continent!’ The strongest remnant of the Longus family swallowed his saliva as he identified where this person was coming from.

Minos also realized the same. After all, this group had existed since the time of Henricus Longus.𝒪𝐯𝓛xt.𝒞𝗈𝓜

The man continued as several people murmured about the organization he belonged to. “I just want to talk to this person. If possible, invite him to join us at the Pantheon Of Honor. He definitely has what it takes to become one of us.”

“What if he refuses?” Minos asked as Fermo helped him stand.

Julian continued to smile, as he was immensely proud to be a high-level member of this powerful organization. 

He said. “That wouldn’t happen. We don’t demand exclusivity in the Pantheon Of Honor. There would be no reason for him to reject us. There would only be benefits for him.”

“Perhaps he is arrogant…”

“In that case, I would leave after collecting the truth about how he showed a supreme weapon while not being a high-level Demigod.” He became more serious.

Minos closed his eyes and cursed himself, frustrated that he had forgotten that he might end up drawing the attention of someone powerful like this man.

‘Now I can only deal with this guy…’

“Very well, I am the one who did what you saw with your ability,” Minos told the truth, making all his subordinates in that family look at him with wide eyes.

Starclaw was already at his and Fermo’s side and couldn’t help but look at her master, seeing how he had the courage in the state he was in front of this Spiritual Demigod.

The man closed his eyes upon hearing Minos’ revelation, wanting to laugh at this weak Spiritual Sage, trying to control himself not to teach this junior a lesson.

‘What a joke…’

He clenched his fists, but as he opened his eyes and noticed the expressions of the many people there looking at Minos and sweating, he looked deeper at this young man.

In the next second, space distorted around his position, and he appeared in front of Minos.

Starclaw tried to stand before her master while the only level 89 Sage appeared next to Minos.

But the spaces around them vibrated with the movement of Julian’s fingers. Then both appeared dozens of meters away while an invisible hand pressed them against the tops of some trees.

Only Fermo serving as a support for Minos remained beside this young man.

“You?” This old man’s eyes turned black, and he touched one of Minos’ shoulders, trying to understand how.

As he did so, he felt a chaotic energy through Minos’ body, something fierce and unusual.

‘What is this?’

However, as he felt what Minos had absorbed from the giant bones, he suddenly began to see something in his mind.

He saw a semi-transparent body with a golden spark shining brightly on Minos’ head.

But then, as he admired this spark’s purity, the body’s surroundings became darker, and some giant silhouettes appeared.

When one of them opened its eyes, and a bestial sound appeared in the movie passing in Julian’s mind, he felt his own soul trembling and deactivated his ability, taking a step back.

“What?”

He asked unconsciously, looking into Minos’ brown eyes without understanding what that was all about.

His innate ability was one of the most powerful in the Spiritual World. Julian could see the past, see the talents, and even glimpse part of the future with his innate ability.

His power was not small, which was why he had reached level 97, even though it was so difficult for most people with the potential to achieve this cultivation to accomplish such a feat.

He was even a member of the council of the Pantheon Of Honor, a group that, besides him, only level 99 Demigods were part of.

But even with such a powerful ability and at level 97, something in the soul of a mere level 80 Sage had frightened him!

‘He has unbelievable talent! I’ve never seen a gold as intense as the one in his soul. But what are those creatures?’ He looked strangely at Minos, contorting every muscle in his face.

‘What were those creatures? They are not normal! In fact, I’ve never seen anything like that in other people!’ Julian couldn’t help but wonder, for his experience of over 15,000 years of existence had never shown him a single person with those creatures in him.

Minos looked like a monster in this man’s vision!

It was as if he had three or four fierce souls inside him protecting him.

Minos didn’t know what had frightened this man, but he immediately thought it was the giant bones.

Only that, or Henricus Longus could be behind something capable of shocking a level 97 Demigod.

“You really did that… But how? It shouldn’t be possible!” He muttered as he came closer to Minos again, feeling there would be no danger.

“I fused three techniques at once.” Minos did not hide the truth.

By making the mistake of not fleeing to the Spatial Kingdom when he awakened earlier, he could only handle the situation by telling this person the truth.

Luckily Julian was there just to talk and invite him to the Pantheon Of Honor, as he had said.

“Three? Is that possible?” This man asked, but he thought something like that would explain something of this magnitude. 

‘He is quite weakened… It must be true.’

As he thought about it, Julian slowly became more optimistic, imagining that he could gain even more if this were true.

‘If this young man is that good being only a level 80 Sage, he will be a great acquisition for my faction! With him, we’ll be able to move up a few degrees toward the top!’

“Kid, what’s your name? Where are you from?” He asked again, placing one of his hands on one of Minos’ shoulders, but without trying to use his skill this time.

“My name is Minos Stuart. I am the emperor of the Black Plain Empire, a state in the Central Continent.”

“Oh? Someone from the Central Continent? It’s not for nothing that I’ve never heard of someone so promising.” He commented, figuring he should pay more attention to this warring continent.

“So, Minos Stuart, would you like to accompany me to the Pantheon Of Honor? Please do not refuse before at least hearing what I have to propose. Surely we can come to a mutually beneficial agreement.”
