After a week of observing the surroundings of the crater that the group of aliens had started working on earlier, they had finished their mission there.

Unlike Minos' group's mission, which was very difficult to carry out and which many of the Armhands had failed in the past, this group's mission was simpler. They weren't there to take something shocking that would even influence the lives of Supreme beings.

Their goal was to take advantage of The Obsidian Shore's opportunities and then take the corpse and belongings of that ox-horned being.

Minos paid attention to everything and kept what had happened in mind, eager to leave this place and show his superiors what had happened. Through his mental technique, Infinite Dream, doing so would be easy.

So Minos said nothing, nor did he ask any questions to those aliens allied to his group. He merely stood in position, ordering his men to protect that crater, without letting their curiosity make the group allied to them realize that he knew something or that they would be a problem.

...

"Are you finished?" One of the aliens from Minos' group asked their allies, who had finally returned from the large crater they had spent the last few days surrounded by.

"Yes, we had to dig something out, but it wasn't difficult to access our target here." Said one of the aliens.

"Was your mission just that? Our leaders said that our target was risking the lives of everyone here." Said that a member of the group of envoys from Armhands.

"We didn't have such a difficult mission... But if your group hadn't helped us deal with the threats in the surrounding area over the last few days, we would have had some problems." Said the leader of Minos' allies.

What he said was the truth. Minos' group hadn't just stood around in the surroundings over the last few days. They had fought three times while that allied group of theirs collected what they wanted in the area.

Minos then changed the subject. "Well, now that you've finished, it's time to move on to the Black Heart site. Do you intend to honor your words?"

The leader of Minos' alien allies nodded in the affirmative. "Don't worry, friend. We're not liars. We said we would help you, so we will.

However, it's like your companion said. Your mission is much more difficult than ours. So we'll help you as far as we can accept the dangers."

"That's good enough," Minos said as he started walking away from the crater.

That level 100 alien looked at Minos with interest before following with his group behind Emperor Stuart's people.

But he couldn't help wondering. 'Isn't he interested in what we've done here? Did he do this expecting the same level of discretion from us at the Black Heart mission site?'

Their group had been sent there to collect that huge corpse from earlier. However, when their supervisor made an alliance with the General behind Minos' group, they gained a new objective.

They were to help each other on their journey to The Obsidian Shore by exploring things not required by their organizations or carrying out their respective missions there. But if Minos' group were to be as successful as the level 114 Sovereign was confident it would be, that group would have to take over the target from Emperor Stuart's group!

Because of this, that level 100 alien was curious to know if Minos hadn't asked any questions because he wanted them not to get involved in matters relating to Black Heart.

'That alone is not enough. You need more to make me break my superior's orders.' This individual thought as he followed behind Minos.

...

Two months later, the group faced yet another variety of dangers on their way to Minos' point of interest.

After the advance of another alien to level 100 and Ruth's advance to level 97, the group remained firm, with no casualties even after almost two years in this very dangerous area.

Part of this was due to the progress and resources the group had made in that submerged area. Still, it was mainly due to Minos' ability to analyze glimpses of the future. Because of their awareness of future possibilities and an unparalleled instinct for danger, they avoided many calamities that could have killed several of them.

They took advantage of several opportunities to collect resources and spatial rings from experts who had fallen in the past through the places they passed through during this period.

After weeks of leaving the area of the previous crater, the group finally arrived in a gloomy area of The Obsidian Shore, where grandiose trees prevented light from reaching the surface.

In this shady place full of trees and plant creatures, Minos and his group were camping at the moment, having stopped to rest after a recent battle.

While part of the group was meditating, another part was surveying the surroundings of their temporary camp.

Minos was in an individual hut, sitting on a cultivation cushion in the lotus position. He was meditating as usual, but at this moment he was sweating profusely, while his eyes rolled back as if he were having a nightmare.

In his deep consciousness, he saw himself walking alone in this forest as he heard a muffled sound repeating at a specific frequency.

As he felt this, he couldn't help but feel as if something was calling him, something he had sensed before.

"Hah... Hah..." He suddenly opened his eyes, breathing heavily, somewhat puzzled.

He hadn't tried to predict the future, but apparently, he had just predicted his fate.

'Is this what the level 110 Sovereign showed me?' He remembered the day he had been stopped by the brother of an old opponent of his.

But while he was thinking about this, Minos suddenly heard a distinct sound and stopped thinking. He left his tent and looked around.

Thump-thump!

Thump-thump!

"Do you hear that?" He asked his companions on the outskirts of the camp.

Those on guard in the surroundings immediately turned their eyes to Minos, not understanding what he was talking about.

"Hearing what?" Someone asked.

"Don't you hear that heartbeat sound?" Minos asked as he looked in the direction from which he felt it.

"I don't hear anything." Several people said the same thing, as Minos made his armor appear around his body, with him already walking towards what he was hearing.

"Minos! Where are you going?" One of these men asked, but Minos didn't hear him.

"Shit!" This man exclaimed as he left his position and alerted the others to move.
