As Minos and Starclaw endured the powerful sound wave passing through their position, a group of three humans left a wormhole in terror in a place far away from where they were.

"Aaaaahg!!!"

Screams broke from the mouths of the two weakest as they all carried deep burns all over their bodies.

Their low-level grade-4 armor had withstood most of the damage to their bodies, but even they had suffered considerably.

Since none of them had a spatial understanding as deep as Minos', they were all suffering from the consequences of the magnificent explosion of that Black Hole Bomb!

"Damn it! Who was that damned son of a bitch?" The strongest of them, the leader of the previous pirate group, shouted to the heavens, enduring the pain in his body without screaming in the same way as his men.

"Who is he? How could a damned Spiritual Sage do that?"

He was dumbfounded!

After stealing a powerful tribe of fish, he suddenly became involved against an abomination capable of creating that explosion...

Not only that, his entire crew, except for those men at his side, had been wiped out!

He had lost his ships, and for all he knew, witnesses to his theft could have escaped in the same way he had!

Even alive, he had lost more than he could accept and could now become the target of an extremely vengeful tribe. As such, he was furious with Minos.

He then summoned a communicator from his spatial ring and immediately sent a message to an ally.

"Ged, it's me, Damon." He said, looking at the green crystal in his hand.

A moment later, a voice came from that item. "Damon? What are those screams? Are you slaughtering an island, haha?"

"Those are Roy and Len's screams. They are seriously injured. A fucking stranger almost killed us!"

"What? What happened?" The voice became solemn in the blink of an eye.

"I lost almost my entire crew. I need your help ..."

...

Meanwhile, in another location, thousands of kilometers away from the focus of the previous explosion.

At that place on the ocean floor, five fish that were attacking the pirate group earlier appeared from a spatial crack, escaping that explosion.

Like Damon's group, they also suffered from the flames chasing them even through their wormhole. However, given their aquatic nature, their defenses were much better than those men's, so they were less seriously injured.

However, as Damon was shocked and with Minos in mind, so were these sea beasts.

"We lost our entire group!" One of them shouted in a disgruntled manner, feeling that this had been a terrible day for them.

"Besides, the damned pirate group has our treasure!"

"What do we do now?" The weakest one there, level 91, asked as he looked at the level 93 fish.

"We'll report back to the tribe of what just happened. We know who is with our treasure, but we must find the human who did this to us!" The group leader said firmly, ignoring the burns all over his large body.

"That person is a monster. We must alert everyone in the tribe of his abilities and appearance!"

"Maybe we need to put a prize on his head!"

...

Days after the explosion, news of the destruction of great magnitude reached the west coast of the Divine Continent and the east coast of the Central Continent.

That had been an explosion similar to a sacrifice of a level 92 Demigod!

That might not sound like much, but it was shocking even for level 99 Demigods. After all, people who reach the 10th stage could be considered peak experts, individuals with the potential to reach the pinnacle of cultivation.

Even if 99.99% of them were never going to be more than Demigods, as long as they had the time, many had the potential to one day reach levels 97, 98, and 99.

So one of them killing themselves by means of a sacrifice was shocking, especially since it ended any chance of them one day being reincarnated or even having an afterlife.historical

Even cultivators who would never be in danger from a threat of the level of that explosion paid attention when they heard about the big explosion in the central part of the East Sea.

...

In a part of the west coast of the Grinia Empire, a group of half-breeds of humans and beasts was in a small wooden house on top of a hill, from where they could see the sea to the west and much greenery in their surroundings.

From this place far away from human cities, this group kept an eye on the various communication devices there and occasionally glowed when voices came from them.

"Something happened in the central part of the East Sea." Someone said to one of those communicators. "It seems an explosion capable of risking the lives of even level 93 Demigods has happened in that area.

Beast groups are already in search of those responsible for it. Supposedly it's a human and a beast who are traveling together."

"Oh? That's shocking... But how important is that to us?" Another communication item flashed, and that voice asked.

"I don't know... From the description of the sea beasts, the person who caused that looks a lot like Minos Stuart, the chosen one of the ancestor." The same male voice as before said, expounding his theory.

"If that's true, then he's not far off." A female voice came from another communication crystal.

One of the men in that house then picked up one of these items and said. "Everyone, get ready. The chosen one is due to arrive on the coast of the empire in the next few weeks, so I want everyone positioned to meet him."

"OK."

"All right."

"I've already been in my position for days..."

Several voices emerged from the communicators in that place, as people from that group in different parts of the west coast of the Grinia Empire paid attention to their communicators.

Their leader said. "We have to find him before the people in the faction of the family leaders. If he finds the family before we find him, both our family members and he could be in danger!

We must warn him about the patriarch's and high-level elders' plans!"

Everyone agreed, and soon their group would cease communication to turn their attention to the coast of this state.

Before long, they would finally have the chance to meet Henricus Longus' chosen one, and they couldn't help but look forward to fighting alongside Minos!

As he returned to his work, the leader of that faction smiled and looked out the window of that little house. 'With that level of power, maybe we can change the family!'
