The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2831  Back to the Artificial Moon

It only took a few hours for the group to travel from their point of arrival in Ganaway Refuge at the maximum speed that Elpam could take the group from Minos to their goal in the center of the island.

Elpam tried to talk to the group in the middle of the journey to relieve his own tension and that of his companions, but also to appear friendly to these strangers and gain a better understanding of their origins. They obviously didn't know that Minos and the three human women had been there a few times in the past.

Hundreds of millions of creatures came and went from the island every decade. There was no way the local leaders could have known about non-Supremes passing through the area.

The journey went well. There was no danger in the way of such a strong group in this area. Few Supremes unrelated to the local forces passed through the area, in fact, at the moment, Minos' group was the only one with Supremes unrelated to the local dominant force. So their journey was uneventful, with them just chatting casually until they reached their goal.

Minos and his wives didn't try to hide everything about themselves from the locals. On the one hand, it wouldn't do for them to know too much to avoid interrogations that would endanger their family. But on the other hand, it wasn't good for these strangers to be totally in the dark and not know who they should fear.

But Gunaway Refuge wasn't a problem for Minos' current group, so they didn't attach too much importance to the matter, avoiding only sensitive information that would lead beings like Qhava to his family.

When they arrived in the town, which they had already contingent well on the number of times they had been there and even lived there for months waiting for the moment of their departure, they went to the local station to get their tickets.

There, they didn't have to go to the ticket counter to buy their tickets. Elpam took them directly to the instant transportation room for the Artificial Moon, and halfway there the group came across other Supremes already waiting for them.

Two Supremes were sitting in front of the door that gave access to the island's departure and arrival area, individuals that Minos, Gloria, Ruth, and Abby had already seen there.

"You?" One of them looked at the four, feeling that he had already seen some of them there.

Identifying Minos would be more difficult, given the physical changes he had undergone over the years. But Abby, Gloria, and Ruth hadn't changed so much over the years and even people in the Spirit World would easily identify them now.

Minos and his wives hadn't expected that these men, who they had thought were just guards for the area, were actually level 118 Supremes, individuals who had been powerful for them until recently.

"Do you actually work as guards here?" Minos asked as he approached the men.

One of them replied positively, "Yes, we have to control who enters and leaves the planet, after all. It would be a problem if the Supremes simply entered Zocarro without any orders."

"Is that so?" Abby asked with a sarcastic smile. "We recently came across two high level Supremes who I'm sure hadn't entered the planet long before."

The two men looked at Abby and one of them said, "We can't stop it if individuals much stronger than us come here... But we do our best to alert the forces of Oqia and Uzira."

"So, you work for the forces of Oqia and Uzira?" Ruth asked.

"We're partners. We send information and receive others." The other man said, standing up to lead the group to their starting point. "That's what we do for any group that wants a relationship with us. We can do the same for you."

Minos looked at these individuals and thought of his various enemies. Unfortunately, any help from them would prove worthless to him. This group might even be valuable to his children and the guild, but not to them.

Minos' current enemies were Qhava and Eternal Death. But both women were True Celestials. Unlike Supremes, who would need spaceships and special transportation to leave high level worlds like Zocarro, Celestials didn't need the same. They could travel directly through space without the need for any tools. In other words, these individuals would never be able to give them information about the enemies who might be pursuing them today.

However, Minos left that door open. He handed a seal to one of those two level 118 Supremes, something that would easily connect his children to these experts, should they meet in the future.

"If you find people capable of making this seal react, help them if necessary and exchange information with their group. Try to make it look like it's a business entirely dependent on your relationship with them, without my interference. I'll owe you a favor for that."

The local Supremes accepted Minos' seal, recognizing his power more than the other individuals who had accompanied them so far.

They then entered the instant transportation platform, where a group had just cleaned up after the arrival of some people from the Artificial Moon.

A group of five people were waiting to travel to the Artificial Moon when Minos' group arrived, drawing everyone's attention with their formidable formation. Those there at the moment were only low-level Sovereigns, individuals who couldn't even distinguish between the cultivation of these mid-level and high-level Supremes. They only understood that the difference between them was formidable enough to step back, making way for the newcomers.

Minos threw a space ring toward these individuals waiting to travel and said, "I'm sorry about the problem. I'm afraid your journey will be delayed a little."

He didn't have to do that, but none of the local Supremes stopped him, while one of them passed on the information that the officials there should send Minos and the three women to the Artificial Moon.

After the four of them had positioned themselves on the instant transportation platform, the eldest of the Supremes told them, "When you get up there, talk to Monk Milo. He'll help you quickly get a crew for The Narrow Discus."

"We'll keep that in mind," Minos said as the devices on that platform were activated, making their surroundings glow in rainbow colors, taking them, in a single instant, to the final platform on the Artificial Moon!
