"Still... Low-level Demigods are still too much for us, no?" Someone in that group questioned, uncertain about their ability to take on a family with cultivators at that level.
The people in the surrounding area agreed with that, feeling it was too much for them.
But Minos said. "There aren't many alternatives for us.
1. We do nothing and hide in the Spatial Kingdom. By doing that, we will probably lose control of the empire, and in the end, we won't have a group to support us in the chaotic future of this world.
2. We do nothing and wait for their attack, which will probably kill us or lead to a battle that would disseminate the news about the Spatial Kingdom. So we would return to the first option or die.
3. We search for the damned while they won't talk about the Spatial Kingdom and try our luck. We may not have enough to do this and lose some of our strength, but there is a chance that we will succeed.
These are our only alternatives. I prefer to follow the latter and test my luck.
I prefer to kill as many enemies as possible before I fall..."
Upon hearing Minos' words, those still uncertain couldn't help but sigh, seeing that their options were only these very options.
They could not seek Maximillian's assistance, for besides that man being busy, that might cause him to find out about Minos' Spatial Kingdom and turn him into an enemy.
Therefore, they could not seek help from him or anyone else!
Alone in this challenge, only the three alternatives listed by Minos seemed promising.
"Perhaps His Majesty will succeed in annihilating them all with a black hole or even a Black Hole Bomb." A member of the Coleman family said that.
"Hmm, that's our great alternative." Others agreed.
But then Maisie asked. "But Minos, isn't there any possibility you could control them somehow? I mean, Henricus Longus left an order for these people to follow you as subordinates or allies.
They are rebelling against his words by acting this way... Isn't there anything you can use to control this family?"
Those Spiritual Sages flying over beside Minos focused on him again until he answered his mother, "Hard to say. Any kind of contract has already been lost due to the passage of time.
Even if he was a God, he was not omnipotent and could not change the fate of his family to the extent that orders from millions of years ago still have some great effect."
He formed a thoughtful expression and added. "At most, there may be people in this family who are still loyal to him. If they exist and find out about the decisions of the family leadership, it may be that they will side with me, but even then, there is no guarantee that I would get enough to be able to resolve this situation with their help."
"Not to mention that there are a lot of 'ifs' here." Patience commented, feeling that they had better not consider that there would be allies for Minos within that family.
If there were, that would be considered a gain later on, but they weren't counting on it for now.
Whatever Minos' fate with that family might be, they already knew that this emperor's previous plans regarding House Longus could no longer be completed.
Minos intended to strengthen his group with that family if it still existed. But now his group not only could not rely on this house but was threatened by them!
This was a prominent setback to Minos' plans!

Minos then said after a moment. "Everyone better prepare for the worst. We could be attacked by groups of Spiritual Sages from that family any time from now on.
So be prepared. I will do my best to move forward and head for Lusmait. I will investigate the whereabouts of this family from there.
Eventually, there will be less danger after I leave."
Everyone agreed to this and soon split up, going to different locations from where they would keep watch from now on.
Minos then quickly returned to the core of Dry City, where he picked up his women and took them to the Spatial Kingdom along with his children.
He would now enter seclusion to advance to the 9th stage, so it would be crucial that they be in that place where they could benefit from cultivation in his presence.
With his ability to steal the magnificent energy of the giant bones and give those powers to his allies, Minos would not miss the opportunity to help them become stronger.
His ability was so good that he could use it even during cultivation, so it wouldn't even get in his way!
And so the empire's capital felt the presence of the local sovereigns for the last time for the next few months.
...
A few days passed, and information about what had happened had already reached patriarch Longus in the Divine Continent.
This man and the core of his family were delighted with this news, looking forward to the day when they would meet Minos and get back what should belong to their family.
They didn't know what Minos would do, but whatever his choice, they were confident that he would somehow risk himself because of the catastrophic prediction made by Henricus Longus.
To avoid certain death in the future, Minos would have to make a move that would risk his ownership of the Spatial Kingdom!
So for the moment, these Longus family elders were not thinking of revealing the truth about Minos' riches to the world and were just waiting for his answer.
The group of high-level Spiritual Sages that was to confront him and the empire was already on their way and, in a few months, would arrive at the core of that state in the northern region of the Central Continent!
But while the leadership of that family was dealing with their affairs in anticipation of what Minos would decide, some members of that family were gradually spreading the word about the emergence of their ancestor's chosen one.
Years had passed since the patriarch Longus had received this information. But over the months, more and more people had come to know the truth about what the most important people in this family had been meeting occasionally to discuss.
Finally, someone who had accidentally or not passed on this information more than he should have had come forward, pointing out to various groups in the current Longus family the emergence of Minos.
Every family had its factions, and even in times of trouble, there would be different lines of thought.
It was no different in the Longus family, and one of the groups that believed they should follow the chosen one of Henricus Longus had just found out about the deeds of their leaders regarding the chosen one!
