When he saw that strong spiritual fluctuation, capable of oppressing beings dozens of kilometers away, Minos became more serious, realizing that he would have to flee or take serious risks for being so close to that creature.
He immediately left his yacht and started flying towards the floating islands in the area, going as fast as he could but without using his spatial manipulation skills.
All Minos had going for him was the fact this being knew nothing about him and therefore did not have him as its focus.
So he wouldn't show anything that would make that turn its attention to him, so he was flying with speed typical of level 77 human cultivators.
He was already coldly sweating, and his face looked pale from the terror approaching where his yacht was.
'Damn it! Did that thing have to appear so close to me?' Minos wondered as he looked back, noticing the sea below his yacht turning dark with the appearance of a gigantic beast.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| As he looked back and his lips moved to form an expression of astonishment, the sea level in the surrounding area changed gradually, while rapidly, the darkness approaching the surface became greater.
A few milliseconds later, a gigantic mouth the size of the island that had fallen on Minos days ago appeared below where Emperor Stuart's yacht was.
This gigantic mouth had hundreds of razor-sharp teeth and quickly had countless gallons of water inside it, while Minos' yacht was already lost inside it.
But the mouth didn't close immediately. Instead, that sea creature continued advancing into the sky, quickly approaching where Minos and some sea creatures in the surrounding area were trying to escape.
Gulp!
Minos swallowed his saliva as he saw that gigantic sea beast, with the body of a whale, the teeth of a shark, and as big as an island, coming closer and closer to him.
He immediately put his plan of being discreet aside and used all his skills, opening a spatial crack and flying even faster upwards.
Because of this, when that creature closed its big mouth, destroying Minos' yacht and killing most of the creatures inside its mouth, it narrowly missed that fleeing human.
When that creature's teeth slammed into each other, shrill sounds spread for kilometers around, causing Minos and any beings nearby to bring their hands to their ears.
A powerful spiritual pulse issued from that mouth, causing spiritual chaos in the surrounding area, with thunder rumbling and the sunny day slowly losing its beauty.
A level 99 being was so strong that even a snap of his fingers could cause commotion across tens of cubic kilometers and could even change the weather of a region as large as that of the ancient Black Plain.
"Human!" That creature showed its voice to the world, reaching all beings on the side islands to that area, making even some level 98 elders feel goosebumps on their scales or feathers.
Minos was shocked by this display of power, for he knew that even though this was all terrible, this beast was not trying to appear strong. On the contrary, that was its natural mode of action!
"Shit!" He kept opening wormhole after wormhole, quickly climbing up towards the island where the Seraphim Ancient Sarcophagus should be.
If he were to fail there, he would try to flee to the Spatial Kingdom, but he wanted to get as close to his target as possible before that attempt.
But he wouldn't do such a thing right away because a level 99 being could stop him from such a thing if he tried to be fast enough!
That sea beast that had awakened a few days ago and was in search of food for its attempt to advance to level 100 looked ugly at Minos and slowly transformed into its humanoid version.
Its body shrank in size rapidly, transforming its colossal body into one about 3 meters tall, extremely muscular, and with several golden scales around its privates.
At the same time, if one were to observe in its direction, one would see a semi-transparent golden halo in its surroundings, a common phenomenon to see in someone close to reaching godhood and using their abilities.
"Human, you look very talented." It called out to Minos before opening a crack in the space before it. "Give me your powers and talents. Then, you will be part of a God. This is your only chance to achieve godhood!"
Minos cursed that creature in his mind, little by little seeing the island he felt the Seraphim Ancient Sarcophagus was on, which was over 500 kilometers above sea level.
A few moments later, he saw that creature appearing in front of him, grinning maliciously at him.
"Give it up, human. You can't do anything against me." The creature said. "But I will give you a chance. Surrender of your own free will, and I will fulfill one small wish of yours.
Rejoice, for you are the most talented human I have seen in all my 60,000 years!"
Minos clenched his fists and said. "I have something I would like to do before I die. It is something simple that can be done in seconds with your help."
"Oh?" That being closed its eyes as a smile appeared on its face, showing its sharp teeth. "What is it?"
"My life's purpose is to find a lost island. I've spent years of my life waiting for the day when I could go after it, and now I'm practically in front of it." He said, pointing to his destination. "I wish I could at least step on that ground. After that, I will die with no regrets."
The level 99 beast looked up into the sky and saw the island that Minos was talking about, where there was an ancient aura about it.
Watching that place, it couldn't help but be curious, as it didn't know what island that was or even why it seemed special.
"That won't do. I feel like I'll risk losing you if we go there." It said, showing Minos that he would not have an easy time.
Minos felt the Spatial Kingdom's ring and judged he would not have enough time to escape this being. So he decided to take a chance and said. "Then I would like the senior to hand something I have to someone.
I'll show you what it is." He said while picking up the vial he had bought in his passage through the City of a Thousand Races.
