Hearing Minos'' question, Abby and Ruth showed in their looks that they had no idea why, but Gloria seemed to have something in mind.
"Reason? It was a major incident in that area over a million years ago when a Demigod used a me technique to punish an enemy in that area." That redhead said as she massaged her belly into the water of that hot spring.
Minos smiled as he heard what Gloria had learned from the Church. "Actually, it wasn''t like that. That ce was like that even before Henricus Longus was born, over 5 million years ago."
"What? How can that be?" That pregnant woman eximed.
Gloria trusted her husband, but she also believed in the Church. So she could not help but find his answer strange.
"I haven''t heard that with the families of the Empire. That is information from the Church." She said just so he would know that this was official, not a story propagated by rumor or anything.
Minos smiled and closed his eyes. "I can imagine. But that doesn''t change the fact that this is a lie. This ce here is not so different from the Endless Snow Mountain Range in the northern region."
Abby''s eyes widened as she recalled her and Minos'' passage through the Endless Snow Mountain Range years ago.
Minos then continued. "This ce is a graveyard of giant skeletons, a ce sealed using the fusion of me techniques of 13 ancient Demigods."
"What?" Gloria eximed. "Are there skeletons here too?"
Minos nodded and said. "Hmm, ording to legend, this ce was created by an enemy organization of the Immemorial Graves Sect. But unlike that ce that had to have people to watch over and renew the seal, this ce was created to be forever like that."
"In Henricus Longus'' time, those mes supposedly could only be put out by a God who had mastered a technique of the opposite nature. Coincidentally, more than a million years ago, the Goddess of Water appeared, and part of the burning area was extinguished..." He remembered that the entire area of the ming Empire was a burning inferno at the time of that God.
He knew about the Goddess of Water because of the history books of the Spiritual Church itself. Therefore, he associated the change in that region with that person who, unlike the God of Death and the Goddess of Life, had actually reached level 100.
"Are you saying the Church did this on purpose and made up a lie?" Gloria asked, considering that the Goddess of Water had been a Supreme Pontiff of that organization.
"Hmm." He stated. "The question is whether or not the seal of this ce has weakened. Unlike in the northern region, in this area, someone couldn''t get close to the skeletons and see them."
"So? Are you trying to test this?" Ruth asked, knowing that her husband did not do unnecessary things.
Minos nodded. "There''s a skeleton near where we are. If the seal is weak, we might be able to ess it."
"And what do you want to do?" Abby frowned her eyebrows. "You didn''t want to do anything in that sect in the Endless Snow Mountain Range. So why would you want to act here?"
"In the northern region, the seal is blocking those things, and I couldn''t do much with those skeletons either. But here, the seal might be weakened. So even if I can''t use such a thing for the moment, I''ll try to take it to the ck in." Minos said.
Minos felt that those skeletons might have some rtion to the threat alerted by Henricus Longus'' soul fragment. But not only that, the energy of those bones was so intense that he could not help but imagine that such a thing could be helpful.
After all, Henricus Longus knew all this, had seen the future, and even produced techniques focused on energy absorption for his heritage... What did this mean?
Minos could not be sure since he could not see Henricus Longus'' visions. But he felt that such a God had prepared his techniques to be used with these primordial bones!
He already had the Devouring Art. Chaotic Gravity could be fused with such a technique. Moreover, his 9th technique would be a sealing one, which also involved energy control.
So for Minos, the path ahead of him was obvious. Try to use those skeletons somehow!
"Isn''t that dangerous?" Gloria asked Minos.
"If the seal is intact, yes. But then I won''t try anything." He sincerely answered. "But if the seal is weakened, I''ll be able to transport that thing into the Spatial Kingdom."
"Do you think that''s a good idea?" Abby asked, worried about the possible consequences of this.
But Minos assured all his wives on that point. "Don''t worry. The Spatial Kingdom is something even more stable than our world itself. So if those bones don''t harm the continent, nothing will happen in the Spatial Kingdom."
Spatial Kingdoms were not just cultivation sanctuaries in areas of limited ess. These ces were also unique because they were utterly invible.
What did this mean? Well, a wormhole could not be opened from inside one Spatial Kingdom, and no one could force their way into it!
Not even a God was capable of viting this principle!
Three million years after Henricus Longus perished, a God became famous for trying to invade the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom on the Beast Continent.
At that time, that man from the Divine Continent was annihted by a mixture of lightning tribtion storms and the space copse of part of that Spatial Kingdom.
Such a catastrophe damaged the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom and created a pocket of unstable space that swallowed a quarter of that Realm.
Such a pocket of space hadter turned into a famous area in the Spiritual World, which opened ''doors'' into random ces, sending people into a giant ruin of treasures.
No one who had entered such a thing had ever returned, but such a ce was famous and was in the history books that Minos and his wives read.
Anyway, the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom was partially damaged, but it still exists to this day!
Because of this, Minos knew that his Spatial Kingdom was safe and would not suffer from just one of these skeletons.
"Is that right?" Gloria asked.
"Hmm, don''t overthink it. We may not even have to do anything." He said as he swam a few meters and showed them a mountain about 10 kilometers from there. "The biggest skeleton in this area is in that ce. Do you want to go see it?"
The skeletons were not visible, but since Henricus Longus had located thergest of these ancient remnants, Minos knew where to find them.
So after rxing for a while in that hot spring, the group of humans and beasts set off toward the spot Minos had shown them.
His women shared the same interests in adventures and potential developments for the ck in as him, so they all set off from there, eager to check out his thoughts.
However, they were not the only ones in the vicinity!
