A week has passed since Minos'' advance!


    With his advance, the emperor quickly dealt with the bureaucratic affairs of his state that he had not been dealing with for some weeks due to his previous seclusion.


    After finding out everything he needed to know, giving a few orders, and visiting the different areas of his state in the northern part of the Central Continent, Minos left for Vogel.


    This time he had left his three wives in the Spatial Kingdom together with some elders from the Grey Clouds Sect and soldiers from the Elite Squad. And, of course, Emlyn and K were also in that ce, their home, where they had the responsibility of watching over the surroundings.


    Sarah was also around since Minos would not leave his only daughter in Dry City when he would be so far away.


    In any case, he quickly made his way to the Vogel capital via the teleportation ports between the core of his state and that southernmost territory of the empire.


    And in this instant, the emperor, unapanied, had just arrived at the public teleportation port of the Vogel capital!


    ...


    After appearing alone in that ce, the local guards in the surrounding area were promptly surprised when Minos appeared in the middle of the teleportation array area in a local square.


    But as soon as they sensed his level, they all swallowed their saliva, knowing this was not a good sign.


    Minos was already a monster at level 69 that almost no one in this territory could stand against. So now that he had gone through the quantitative and qualitative change of stage advancement, these low-level Spiritual Saints did not doubt how great his power would be now.


    Gulp!


    On that ount, several of them took steps backward as they saw Emperor Stuart arriving at the central city of this territory.


    "Your... Your Majesty!" A level 71 Spiritual Saint said this in astonishment after swallowing his saliva in awe. "To what do we owe your visit?"


    "Uh?" Minos'' eyes narrowed as he looked at the people in the surrounding area, most of them local guards but also some visitors who had just arrived on teleportation arrays.


    He asked in a serious tone. "Is that the local way of receiving your sovereign? Is that the way you people behave?"


    Those individuals realized their mistake and promptly bowed their heads and said simultaneously. "Wee back, Your Majesty!"


    When those words were spoken amid the noble gestures of those guards, the neers in that ce, who did not know Minos personally, turned to him in surprise and bowed their heads as well.


    ''Minos is already at level 70? How is that possible? I heard he hasn''t left Dry City for the past six months!''


    ''And at that time, he was still at level 69!'' One of the neers thought about it silently as she hid her face with a veil, being hidden there since this was enemy territory.


    But Minos'' visual ability delivered the spiritual fluctuation of this person from the ming Empire, and he said to the guards there, "That''s better... Anyway, arrest that woman over there. She''s from the Holy Sect and shouldn''t be here."


    "What?" She eximed in surprise as she turned to Minos and felt as if this individual had betrayed her.


    That was Naomi Banks, level 70, the daughter of a rival of Maisie''s from the Holy Sect, whom Minos had met on his first stint in the ming Empire.


    "An enemy?" The guards on the outskirts questioned as they looked in the direction of a woman in ck clothing.


    "Damn it, Minos!"


    "Aren''t we friends? Why are you getting in my way?" This woman asked as she started to run from there.


    Minos then said. "You are mistaken, I am the sovereign of Vogel, and as far as I know, the Holy Sect is an enemy of this ce. So I am only preventing an opponent from getting information from my territory."<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Tsk!"


    "But you are a sect master of the ming Empire!"


    "Not here." Minosughed before ordering those guards. "Don''t use vicious or deadly dangerous blows. Instead, arrest her and negotiate with the Holy Sect for her departure."


    "Yes, Your Majesty!"


    As those guards began a chase, Minos flew toward the local government headquarters, drawing the attention of everyone around this city since flying around was not allowed there.


    "Look at that!"


    "Isn''t His Majesty Minos Stuart?" Citizens from various parts of the city looked at the emperor''s trajectory, surprised to see this person flying through the local skies.


    At the same time, Assembly guards and members of several local noble families noticed Minos'' arrival and the significance of it all.


    Everyone could sense his cultivation level, but they also knew he had not been to this ce for many months. Thus, everyone immediately became worried and started either notifying their leaders or setting off in the direction of where Minos was going.


    The headquarters of the Assembly!


    ''Damn it!''


    ''I thought he would take this situation in the dialogue after that... But was I wrong?'' The leader of one of the strongest noble families in Vogel thought to himself as he flew towards the Assembly, intending to stop Minos.


    "Your Majesty, no one is allowed to fly over the local skies. Pleasee down immediately, or we will have to act as if this is a test of our strength!" The first level 76 individual appeared beside Minos, along with half a dozen mid-level Spiritual Saints.


    They knew that they could not simply attack Minos. But if they acted as if they understood this as a test on the sovereign''s part, then they could not be vigorously punished for a simple mistake...


    Minos noted that this was the method of these people acting against him without looking like traitors trying to act against the emperor. He then said. "Haha, this is really a test. I want to see if you guys can stop a threat of my level."


    With those words spoken, Minos immediately activated Chaotic Gravity, making the people in his surroundings feel the difference between his level 69 and his current level 70.


    When he activated this technique, smiling, the seven Spiritual Saints, people at levels 74, 75, and 76, were immediately pushed away as if they were cannonballs being repelled by something.


    "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"


    They shouted practically simultaneously, not expecting that Minos would be able to push them away from himself so easily.


    ''What? How is that possible?'' The strongest of them wondered, feeling his bones aching from the sudden pressure he felt on his body.


    Gulp!


    ''He took it easy!'' His eyes opened wide. ''If he hadn''t done that, he could have crushed and killed me with just a flick of his fingers!'' This person eximed in his mind, feeling the worst was about to happen.


    Now that Minos was so strong and was there, he felt that the families opposing the emperor would have no future other than subordination or annihtion!


    When Minos left those individuals behind and saw that there were already local experts in front of the Assembly building waiting for him, he immediately activated his Soul Avatar beforending there.


    Space and Time Avatar!
