Chapter 2122 More Confident
Upon returning to Dry City after warning his group in the Spatial Kingdom of his departure, Minos found his capital back to 'normal.'
After bringing Willow, Henry, and Aarav to his Spatial Kingdom, all of the powerful Demigods in the area were either connected to these three or Minos' direct subordinates/supporters.
The Nine-Tailed Foxes arrived in the capital of the Black Plain Empire in recent years, and the Phoenixes and Dragons had also sent their groups.
Currently, there were several powerful Demigods from these tribes, as well as from the groups of the three trying to break through to level 100. As such, the local security was very good and few would try to cause trouble in this city, even in Minos' absence.
Feeling the auras of his family and friends around his city, Minos smiled as he felt the auras of the newly promoted level 70, 80, and 90 people who had been close to advancing the last time he had seen them.
Regina Garza had finally become a Spiritual Sage, having reached level 80 even considering her advanced age when she met Minos decades ago.
On the other hand, some were very close to major advancements, such as Sarah Stuart, who was currently at level 79. 'Very good, Sarah.' Minos thought to himself as he thought of his beloved eldest daughter. 'With less than seven years to go until the Continental Tournament, you're already close to reaching the 9th stage... Your husband's family will be surprised. They didn't believe you could go to the Continental Tournament when I planned it decades ago.'
But Kendrick was still a doubt for Minos, as he was only level 73.
'This kid will be at level 75 by the time he gets to the tournament, or 76 at the most. Maybe he can enter the tournament if he can do half of what I did at his level.' Minos assessed his eldest son, trying to ignore what Kendrick was doing with half a dozen women in his residence... Thïš êššëñçë ïš šëçürëlÿ ëmbëddëd ïn n0v&lb¡n★
After sensing the positions and auras of Lily, Hollie, and Rowan, Minos made his way to one of his wives but didn't fail to notice that all of his wives were currently at level 88.
Arriving at the command center of the Black Plain Army headquarters, Minos spotted Ruth working with some of the state's highest-ranking soldiers, Demigods.
"Excellent. Be prepared to make deals in exchange for this food. In return, we'll be asking for specialists and advanced techniques for professionals in all fields." Minos said with satisfaction.
Soon, another soldier informed him about the changes in the population related to the beginning of the ice age, as many people had left their old homes and moved to new places led by the government.
A large part of the population now lived around the ten largest cities in the empire, while more than 15% of the empire's population already lived in underwater cities in the area northeast of the Ancestral Sea.
In addition, the local improvements due to alien technologies gradually decreased the speed of emergence and capacity for revolution.
As the world's leading experts predicted, when the scholars working on the alien items reached about 10 years of study, progress would slow down and become more challenging to achieve.
As such, those who were not affiliated with the army and were independently developing things were already finding "bottlenecks" in their path, slowing down the number of new items being released into the market.
However, the number of items developed by the empire did not decrease. On the contrary, with the soldiers whose talents had been promoted in those two years, the scholars had gained new fuel to continue their discoveries and innovations.
New, more efficient, and more powerful versions of cannons, ships, spaceships, armor, and techniques emerged to strengthen the soldiers of the empire and its allies.
However, the empire's best products remained in the Spatial Kingdom, where Minos wanted to protect them and not send them to his allies, such as the elves and beings of other races. The Sky Whales were still a problem for the state, but Minos' people did their best to avoid these powerful beasts.
After hearing all this, Minos couldn't help but feel satisfied, looking forward to the subsequent advances in his plans and the arrival of the greatest challenges he had been preparing for decades.
"Very good. We're approaching our potential. But let's not get complacent. This is the time to expand our position and lead the Spiritual World to victory against the aliens." He told his soldiers, while the people there felt more confident than ever.
Their chances were still not promising. But with the knowledge of the three level 99 Demigods cultivating in the Spatial Kingdom, the level 99 dragon trying to break through in the Continent of Beasts, these people were more confident in this world's victory over the aliens than almost anyone else in this world!
