The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2788 New Devil

Meanwhile, in another area of Hell...

A dark plain with nothing remarkable about it stretched for a long distance across the ownerless area of the vast Hell.

But this place was not empty today. Looking from afar, one would see several moving slowly, as if they were ants in a giant anthill. But looking more closely, one would see that these were not ants, but an undead horde stretching for miles.

Walking slowly among the dead, a blue-haired woman had her aura of the same color spreading through her surroundings, while darkness escaped along with the blue mist from her body.

Behind her followed a ghost-like creature, its head too dark to make out the outline, but a crown clearly positioned on top of its neck.

The blue-haired woman stopped, gesturing with a closed fist to the group.

"Miss?" Asked the ghost who from a distance looked like the leader of this formation of over a thousand corpses, but who was actually number two there.

The number one, the leader and creator of this horde, was in front of it, walking on foot, even though there were horses nearby.

She closed her eyes for a moment and scanned her surroundings, sensing something different.

"Let's change our plans a little. We'll head south from now on." She opened her mouth, moving her blue energy through the area, making each of the corpses feel something different and move in the direction she indicated.

"Are we going to conquer new ground?" The ghost behind her asked, its voice a little funny, interested in the battles ahead.

"Maybe." The woman said only that.

The direction they were heading was precisely where there was a domain of a powerful level 123 Supreme.

The level 122 ghost had no fear. Her ladyship wasn't that strong in terms of cultivation, currently only at level 119. But her horde had reached a level comparable only to that of the Devils!

She continued walking slowly, while a smile played on her lips.

'Just wait for me, Minos. Sooner or later, I'll find you.' Abby thought to herself, imagining the surprise she would give him when they met.

...

A few more months had passed since Minos had reunited with Ruth and Gloria.

Now they were no longer in the territory where he had found them. Minos continued his search for Abby, as he sought to expand his domains and grow stronger.

His goal was to reach level 121 before leaving Hell for good, something he thought possible once he took the time to study the domains he had gained over the last few years. In the meantime, he wanted to let Gloria and Ruth master their own territories too, an essential step to speed up their cultivation and give them more possibilities.

But for now, he wouldn't do that. Gloria and Ruth could compete if they advanced once more, but until then, he only wanted them by his side.

However, amid conquering yet another of their territories, an unexpected guest would appear to disrupt their plans.

Gloria and Ruth spotted a carriage racing towards them from afar, but instead of imagining that an enemy was approaching to challenge them, they quickly recognized it as an ally.

Seeing another of Qhava's minions coming into this area, the two women wouldn't have needed to hear anything to know that this was the Devil leader of them all.

But like Minos, they weren't totally dominated by the darkness of the black liquid in their spirit body and knew that this could spell trouble for them.

'What does this guy want here?' Ruth looked at Gloria, while the rest of Minos' subordinates in the area looked in the direction of where the newcomer was slowing down.

But even these beings totally dominated by darkness were not submissive to Qhava's envoy. They would have acted like that if she had been there, but her level 123 envoy wasn't enough to put that kind of pressure on them to lower their heads.

The newcomer brought his carriage to a complete stop 200 meters away from Minos, noticing how dozens of creatures in that area looked him in the eye, as if he were nothing. This made him feel uncomfortable. After all, he was Minos' senior among the Qhava disciples.

But he opened his mouth as he directed his words to Ruth, Minos' strongest subordinate among the non-natives of Hell. "Tell Undar to hurry. Our Devil is summoning us back to headquarters. A new Devil has appeared and brings new possibilities for us."

"A new Devil?" Ruth was surprised by this.

She and Gloria weren't as up to date on Hell's affairs as Minos, but they knew that this wasn't a common event to happen.

"Yes, someone was lucky enough to enter the domain of a Devil who had one of his crowns unprotected. This being seems to have absorbed the crown in question, but instead of becoming a subordinate, she fought the Devil and defeated him in his weakened moment. Now she has a vast territory and a legion of undead."

Gloria, Ruth and the other non-native living beings of Hell opened their mouths in surprise, not expecting something like this to happen.

In particular, Gloria, and Ruth couldn't help wondering if it was possible for the same thing to happen to Minos in relation to Qhava.

'Vulnerable moments are moments of cultivation. Could Minos take the place of that True Celestial and achieve the same?' The same thought crossed their minds, but a question from another of Minos' underlings changed their minds.

"How is that possible? What kind of True Celestial would let himself be weakened like that?"

"It was a newly promoted one. He was trying an experiment to leave Hell for good, from what the rumors are saying. He almost died and soon afterwards, someone with a great affinity for his position caught up with him."

"Wow!"

"That sounds like a stroke of luck." Minos' voice rang out after he had acquired yet another domain under his belt.

Everyone looked in his direction, with Gloria and Ruth putting aside the idea of a moment ago. Qhava wouldn't make the same mistake as such a True Celestial!

Minos' colleague looked at him with narrowed eyes, but he didn't want any small talk. "Our master is summoning us, Undar. Let's return immediately."

With no choice but to continue pretending to be under the control of darkness, Minos agreed, leading his people to follow Qhava's envoy.
