When the fusion of Minos' techniques showed its effects, Gavin felt as if his soul had left his body, as he shook uncontrollably.
His mind had been 'pushed' out of his body, with the surroundings swaying as if light and gravity had stopped functioning in normality.
'What's happening?' He panicked for the first time in a long time, noticing how powerless he was to move or react against Minos' attack.
Even the powerful innate ability he was unleashing had stopped working amidst the great mental confusion he was experiencing.
His power was extreme, but it had a weakness, something also behind its great strength.
The mental condition of its user!
Gavin's innate ability could be considered a mental one. Therefore, it depended on the mental strength of its user to be powerful and provide as much power as possible.
But precisely because this was its strength, when its user's mind was altered in the way that Minos had done to him, this powerful ability lost its strength!
Since the fusion of Minos' techniques was much stronger than Gavin's powers, he lost all control over himself. He fell into an illusion where his soul was outside his body while he was in a shaking world!
'Hmmm, that works perfectly.' Minos watched the situation with a smile on his face as he felt the exhaustion of having to use such a fusion.
But Minos wasted no time admiring Gavin trembling as foam came out of his mouth. No, King Stuart flew close to the floating body of his opponent, quickly placing handcuffs around the redhead's body.
Since he had won the fight, Minos would not release Gavin and would force this person to sign agreements with him!
Gavin had promised he would do such a thing, but Minos had seen how this guy had teleported using an ability of his physique.
To avoid surprises, he quickly sealed off his opponent's cultivation!
Meanwhile, Minos' many subordinates in the surrounding area looked at all this with a twinkle in their eyes, amazed and even more respectful of the king's power.
In a few seconds of battle, King Stuart had defeated a level 67 opponent, someone who seemed to have a very dark innate ability.
"Did you guys feel those pulses from earlier?"
"Yeah, I thought that would kill me, even considering how far away we are from them..." Someone said while standing atop a large white bird.
"But the fusion of His Grace is awe-inspiring!"
"Did you see how the enemy became a convulsing idiot after being hit by the colored lights earlier? He didn't even have a chance!"
"Yeah, it was like his soul broke in the blink of an eye..."
The people in the surroundings continued talking as Gavin finally lost consciousness and collapsed, falling at great speed.
Minos then absorbed the energies of some of his soldiers and made that redhead's body float in his surroundings.
He then flew to the turtle's shell where he had been earlier.
On top of that turtle was a three-story rectangular building, where a hundred or so soldiers of the Black Plain Army were working.
Around that building were surveillance rooms, where most of the soldiers were. But to the inside of the building was all the basic structure present in outposts of forces like this.
And soon, Minos arrived at an interrogation area inside this building, where he put Gavin in a chair, locked in a room.
After that, he returned to doing his jobs there, while the soldiers also returned to their duties that Gavin had diverted.
...
Sometime later...
"Damn it!" Gavin screamed as he opened his eyes, remembering that he was in the middle of a fight with Minos, and then, boom, he was in this place.

'I've been defeated and captured! I'm dead!' He thought about it as he looked from one side of that room to the other, feeling that, ironically, he would fall into the northern region of the Central Continent!
He had fled from pursuers of his sect across the empire and several high-level kingdoms, yet he would still fall in this weak place...
His reality was unfortunate!
But as he was thinking about what might happen, the door of that place opened, and the brown-haired, level 61 young man walked in there with a smile on his face.
"Are you ready to submit to the Black Plain? If you are not, I have no choice but to kill you." Minos was straight to the point.
Gavin's ability was outstanding and could do significant damage once he got stronger. For this reason, Minos preferred to have someone like this on his side, working for him.
But also, for this reason, he would not allow Gavin to leave alive in case of refusal!
After all, that was a dangerous ability, which could cause a lot of trouble if Gavin became an enemy of the Black Plain in the future. In this case, it was simpler to eliminate this threat now!
Gavin looked at Minos and smiled, seeing that the individual across the table was not to be trifled with and was ready to kill him right there and now if necessary.
"I can submit. I said I would sign that agreement if I lost, after all..." He said in a stern tone. "But since you already know about my ability, then you know that it will attract trouble, right?"
"The very fact that I breathe attracts trouble for me," Minos casually commented. "But I will not stop my plans just because there is opposition or even resistance to me."
"Only a weak person would fear moving ahead because of the potential dangers."
"Oh? But certain steps forward need to be taken with caution, or they could lead you to a precipice." The red-haired man said in a provocative tone.
Minos smiled. "The Rowse family has never been that great, even in the past. So, I don't think it will be a problem..."
That family had the potential to awaken tremendous power, but that did not come without a cost!
And the cost of that was precisely the potential of its members, who, when they did not have Gavin's 'curse,' could not reach level 100.
In this case, there was no reason for Minos to fear a second-level organization, which probably did not even have Spiritual demigods.
He asked. "Where is your family?"
Upon hearing this and Minos' earlier comment, Gavin looked strangely at the person in front of him, not understanding how he was talking about the Rowse family without even knowing their location.
"Flaming Empire." He replied.
"Oh? That's it? It seems your family has gotten weaker over time..." Minos muttered. "Answer me, what happened to the last 'cursed ones' in your family?"
Gavin's eyes narrowed. "I found out that there were ten before me. Of those, only the first two ruled the family. The rest were either killed prematurely or had their powers stolen."
"Those who stole the powers of these individuals didn't last long either..."
"I see... So, that's why." Minos understood how this family had become weaker from the time of Henricus Longus to the present day.
The Rowse family was limited, but they had Spiritual Sages in the time of Herincus Longus. However, that power was now in a state dominated by Spiritual Saints...
It was a significant weakening!
"Is your family connected to any organizations?" Minos asked.
Gavin looked into the brown eyes of the fellow in front of him and said. "Saints Killing Sect."
