The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2060 A Global Movement?

Minos was currently one of the most respected experts in the Spiritual World. How had he achieved this as a mere Sage?

Not only was he the big name behind the discovery of the alien invaders, but he had also received the approval of several Gods to take parts of the alien technologies to his state, something that only peak powers in this world had achieved.

Less than 20 organizations in the entire Spiritual World had obtained parts of the technologies in the North Sea to bring back to their headquarters.

The Black Plain Empire was one of those 20 powers. As such, Minos’ position was higher than ever, and many respected him as much as some high-ranking Demigods on this planet.

In addition to these accomplishments involving the aliens in some way, Minos also had a large food-producing state under his command, something important at a time when the world was about to enter an ice age.

As much as the aliens were a real problem that threatened everyone, the ice age could also affect the powers of the world if the people of that world didn’t organize against it.

That was another point that gave Minos influence in the present, which is why members of the Flowers Kingdom government might think of using him as support to justify their plans to defend their state.

The Demigod, who suggested taking action against anyone who entered the Flowers Kingdom, then said to the queen. “Your Majesty, if we do nothing, rebels will invade our state, and we will have internal problems. But if we quickly stop the infiltration of foreigners into our kingdom and enact aggressive laws against pro-alien positions, we can improve local control until the enemies arrive.

With the support of His Majesty Minos Stuart and the justification that we are closing our borders to prevent rebels from entering our state, no power on the continent will try to act against us.”

Another eunuch thought about what this man had just said, remembering Minos’ promise to this state years ago. “It may be time to use His Majesty Minos Stuart’s promise to you, Your Majesty. Right now, we are just ordinary allies. Using that promise to get closer to the Black Plain Empire might be interesting.

Why don’t we temporarily ally ourselves with them? We could cooperate with His Majesty Minos Stuart in the development of new technologies, help with specialists, or even finance projects. In return, he could speak on our behalf to the continental community and help us fight our enemies.”

“Do you think we’ve gone so far as to use that promise?” Queen Mcbride asked, wondering if it was worth getting so close to Minos.

The relationship her men were proposing did not seem to be one of equals but of powers on very different levels. But Minos seemed to be in a higher position than them, even if he still didn’t have the numbers of the Flowers Kingdom.

Such a decision would be difficult for any leader to make!

Hannah had her pride, but she also didn’t know what could happen if she relied so much on Minos.

“Yes.” The two eunuchs said, while others agreed it seemed to make sense.

Not only was Minos currently influential throughout the Spiritual World, but he also seemed to be the most rigid regarding the problem with the rebels. It would be interesting for anyone with similar thoughts to take his side.

Besides, Minos was on the verge of becoming a Demigod, which would put him in an even better position than the one he’s in now. Being by his side when that happened would be extremely beneficial.

To achieve the best results for the Flowers Kingdom, the eunuchs agreed to a deeper alliance with the Black Plain Empire and to support the non-tolerance policy for those willing to surrender to the aliens.

Hannah then announced. “Very well, since all advisors seem to think the same and no one has any arguments against these plans, let’s proceed with what has been suggested. Contact the government of the Black Plain Empire and initiate local procedures to implement these changes immediately!

…

In the following days, Minos’ allies in the world received news of what had happened in his state and the worsening situation of the rebels and terrorists in the Central Continent.

Some reacted with concern to Minos’ actions, but they all understood his motives. They all faced similar problems and wanted to stop the part of the population that was thinking of surrendering.

It might seem reasonable to think that if aliens replaced the strongest in the world, maybe things would stay the same for the weakest.

But the ordinary people didn’t understand how strong their enemies were!

They didn’t understand the super-advanced technologies of the aliens, let alone what these beings looked like. They were entirely in the dark about 99% of the enemies, not knowing whether the aliens were world conquerors or something else.

The world leaders talking about what little they knew wouldn’t help either because part of the population would never have the chance to deal with the invaders personally to understand the reality. Any justification given by world leaders would result in distrust and disbelief on the part of the terrorists and the mentally weak people.

Even if the world leaders were truly trying to protect the world from the worst, it would be challenging to solve the problem.

But Minos’ ways were somewhat extreme, which made many powers concerned about what he had done.

Only a fraction of Minos’ allies and business partners had publicly expressed their support for him, even after the recent news.

But even those who avoided the subject understood Minos’ move and didn’t blame him for anything. Contrary to what the terrorists and surrenderists had expected from the world after his actions, no one would put pressure on Emperor Stuart for his actions!

On the contrary, he had gained more support from some powers than ever before while keeping all his relationships intact.

Amidst this, those who were thinking of surrendering were more frightened than ever, seeing that tyrannical acts like his could soon be repeated outside of this state of the Central Continent!
