The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2913  The End of the Journey in Minos' Universe

"What did you do back there?" Forfex asked, breaking the silence that had settled over them. His voice carried an undertone of awe and concern as he glanced at Minos, even though they were traveling through space via the powers of Devdar's pendant.

Minos reclined slightly, his expression calm but thoughtful. "A trick," he said, his tone measured. "Something I learned from a rather interesting individual not so long ago."

At his words, Ruth, Gloria, and Abby turned their attention to Minos, their shared bond allowing them to sense the unspoken name behind his statement. Vicente.

Minos continued, his voice taking on a contemplative edge. "After witnessing our reality from a different angle, I gained a deeper understanding of certain things… including the true nature of Hell itself.

It's not just a place of torment or an abstraction—there are universal mechanisms underlying it. And, as terrifying as it may seem, there are aspects of Hell we can use to grow stronger. Power that extends beyond external resources and our individual abilities, power that exists at the intersections where the rules of reality blur." He glanced off into the distance, as if the memories of what he'd seen had momentarily drawn him back to another plane of existence.

"Back there, I kept that Entitled Deity charging at us," Minos said, his gaze hardening as flashes of his conflict with Omus flickered in his mind, "long enough for the Devil that I summoned to arrive."

Forfex frowned, shaking his head slightly, trying to decipher Minos' cryptic response. The explanation wasn't exactly straightforward, though it struck a chord with Ruth, Gloria, and Abby, all of whom had previously set foot in Hell.
