Two days later...
Minos and his wives were at this moment in the vicinity of the Flaming Empire's border with three high-level states.
There, they had already felt the presence of several high-level Spiritual Sages, the strongest people Minos had ever felt in his vicinity.
But not only him, Ruth and Gloria had also never been in a place with the presence of Spiritual Sages at levels 87, 88, and 89. So upon arriving in that area, the three were careful while chasing their targets.
The level 80 Spiritual Sage himself was cautiously following their group from afar.
The position of the family he belonged to was higher than those bordering that area. But he was only a small person in the Travisani family, and no post of that force was around.
Hence, he had to be careful too, or he could end up in serious trouble!
Meanwhile, the people from the Spiritual Palace Sect fleeing Minos had already realized he was nearby and were hurrying to cross one of those borders.
The guards of the kingdoms neighboring the Flaming Empire in that area would not stop any of them from entering their state. But from those areas, they might run into 9th-stage beasts, which would be dangerous for them, but perhaps their only chance to escape Minos.
Thus, they were flying with everything they had, without much care, while being watched by Minos, his wives, and the various observers from that quadruple border.
Because of this, the observers from three states had already realized what was happening!
Only the staff of the Flaming Empire were not there to notice the situation due to the hard times that had caused the imperial family to call everyone back to the core of the state.
"A chase?" A guard on the Mairin border side looked toward the two groups and frowned. "But why is the weaker side chasing, the stronger one?"
"It's strange, really..." A level 87 individual said, looking in the direction of the two women and a man flying at full speed toward the group of hundreds of people ahead. 'What's going on here?'
On the other hand, in the Flowers Kingdom area on that border, the post experts more or less understood the situation.
"That must be Minos Stuart..." A woman over 2 meters tall, muscular, and level 88, commented to her companions as she identified the queen's target.
"Is he chasing these people? Has he reached the level of fighting capable of scaring even people at that level?" One of them questioned, astonished to see a low-level Spiritual Saint chasing after high-level Spiritual Saints.
"That must be the case... Perhaps Minos hasn't shown his full abilities in the last demonstrations of power." The area leader, level 89, commented on the latest information they had.
None of them knew about the attack that Mortimer had made on the capital of the Flaming Empire. As such, they were in the dark about Minos' full capabilities.
Because of this, they thought he was not strong enough to pursue a group as powerful as that and were naturally surprised to see this pursuit happen.
"I wonder what happened in this state? Those are men from one of the eight major sects." The same woman from before said. "Minos rebelled against the imperial forces?"
However, even though the Flowers Kingdom had an obligation to protect the Flaming Empire from attacks from forces more powerful than the 8th stage, it was not their duty to defend this state from Minos-level threats. So they didn't move just for the sake of this pursuit, holding their positions to observe what would happen.
If Minos went towards the territory of the Flowers Kingdom, they would immediately arrest him and send him to the capital!
Minos noticed the many glances in his direction and watched for the side of the border with the Flowers Kingdom.
He was not afraid of those women's games, but it was better not to get involved with them now, with Mortimer's situation still fresh.
He looked at his wives and said. "Stand back. I'm going to end all this in one move."

As they heard that, Ruth and Gloria saw Minos pick up a mirrored sphere and understood that he planned to use his Black Hole Bomb there.
"Is it worth doing that?" Ruth asked, considering they could destroy these people without wasting something so powerful.
Gloria also wanted to know the same, so Minos answered them both. "That place is hazardous. All it takes is the will of one of those people in the area for us to be seized and separated.
So if I show my skills, besides running the risk of unwittingly falling into those women's territory, the others in the surroundings may be interested in acting against me.
To avoid that and end those people's chances of survival, I want to use my mass destruction weapon."
"But that in itself will make them interested in us." Gloria commented.
"But without the Black Hole Bomb, we can teleport far away, and it just reveals that I have a powerful device. None of these people, other than those who already know what I am capable of, know I can develop it from scratch." Minos said, knowing that the women of the Flowers Kingdom probably knew about him because of Harold.
As for the others, even if he didn't hide his ability to create black holes, those were people from distant forces, men who stayed on the border and had a harder time receiving certain information.
He thought he would attract less attention using a weapon than his own powers!
Ruth and Gloria understood Minos' logic and backed away immediately after his words, feeling that the result of his action would be the least bad of all.
Sensing them staying within his safety margin, Minos stopped controlling the device in his hands and made his Soul Avatar appear.
When his 8th technique emerged, Minos used much of the free energy in the surroundings and hurled that thing toward the fleeing enemies.
"Die, traitors of the empire!" He shouted along with his movement, just to assure observers that he was doing this against enemies of the empire, not protectors.
Everyone realized the power of the thing Minos had thrown in the direction of the hundreds of fleeing people, with many frowning.
The black hole in that bomb was already capable of threatening the lives of level 81 Spiritual Sages. Still, the Black Hole Bomb could increase the destructive effects of what was inside it. As such, the many Spiritual Sages noticed powerful fluctuations departing from that object flying at extremely high speed, enough to threaten even level 83 cultivators!
"Unbelievable!"
"He reached that point?" The women of the Flowers Kingdom wondered.
Meanwhile, the other observers in the area were impressed by the power of that level 70 man's weapon, which they didn't recognize, wondering who Minos was.
Minos was already fleeing when the fleeing individuals swallowed their saliva in fear as they witnessed what was coming at them!
"Oh, shit..." A level 78 Spiritual Saint shouted upon seeing that shiny thing too close to where they were standing.
Then...
KA-BOOOOOOOOOM!
