As soon as Minos had finished his advance, he stood up where he was, unconsciously moving his hands as a golden hourglass took shape around him.

Time around him sped up, with the plants on the ground developing rapidly, some dead creatures rotting until they disappeared, while everyone watched the eerie fluctuation coming from him.

Meanwhile, Minos sensed the future, seeing himself in a red hell marked by death, with hundreds of beings fighting each other.

His vision changed, revealing to him what appeared to be The Adamant Land seen from someone else’s memories, while a young man who looked like him, but with red hair, brought significant changes to his world.

Another vision appeared over the previous one, showing him a face similar to that of Isabella.

At that moment, his heart beat faster, making him wake up to reality, gradually seeing his children and women looking at him.

When he felt something on his left chest burning, he looked under his shirt and saw the infinity symbol—which he had gained when he got the Incorruptible Heart—glowing brightly.

‘Shit. I’m going to be taken to the other dimension.’ He realized he had little time and aimed at his children, Abby and Gloria, forcing his new ability to act on them.

The moment he acted, his hourglass turned, with five grains of sand falling from the top of the hourglass to the bottom.

Temporal Sands: Five Cycles in One!

Five hourglasses appeared, each connected to one of Minos’ children or his two wives, while the others watched without understanding what he was trying to do.

But they all felt the power of it, noticing as if those five had started to act at very high speed, beginning to meditate and suck in huge amounts of energy for themselves.

“Good luck. They’ll cultivate five years in just one. These hourglasses will only disappear in a year, so don’t worry,” Minos said, as he felt the sensation in his left chest getting stronger and stronger.

As he saw the Sovereigns in his group understanding that everything was fine, he felt the seraph’s wing tattoo warming up, too.

Then the voice of the seraph, who had helped him several times since the beginning of the War of the Worlds, sounded inside his mind. ‘Congratulations on advancing to the Divine Journey, Minos. From now on, we can continue with our old agreement. Focus on dealing with the Millennium Massacre. By the way, good luck. Do your best to survive it.’

Minos thanked him just before the space behind him cracked, opening the way to where the Millennium Massacre was about to begin.

The infinity tattoo suddenly grew, forming a large spiritual seal around Minos’ body, before carrying him into that crack under the astonished gazes of his companions.

Minos couldn’t say anything, but left something written in the dirt before disappearing.

Ruth and the others were shocked. Even though they had expected something to happen, Minos hadn’t given them any details; he himself didn’t know what was going to happen.

When she moved towards the place where he had disappeared, she saw something written on the ground.

‘I’m fine. This is part of my plans. Go ahead with our other plans.’ She read the message he had written while he felt his tattoo related to the Millennium Massacre calling him to another dimension.

The others left behind, aware of the situation, looked at each other in silence, unable to do much other than accept things as they were.

“What do we do now?”

“We go into seclusion. Callie and I could move in at any moment, so let’s not split until that happens. Anyway, time to follow Minos’ plans,” Ruth said decisively, eager to get stronger and fulfill her husband’s goals.

She was worried about him, but Minos knew how to take care of himself better than anyone. They had to first do their part in the group’s plans before worrying about what he might be doing.

The group moved, with the strongest taking up positions to stand guard, while those closest to the breakthrough began to meditate.

Since Minos’ two wives and their three children would cultivate for the next year, they intended to do the same before splitting up to get to know this world and the recent reality of the galaxy better.

…

While the group was preoccupied with cultivating, Minos crossed a time rift, crossing not only a large space but also leaving his home dimension.

The infinity seal carried him the whole way, practically dragging him towards a white glow in front of him, so fast that he seemed to fly at the speed of light.

This only lasted a few minutes, until he passed through another spatial crack, arriving on what looked like another planet.

This place, however, was not a planet, but a plane, similar to what an ordinary person might imagine of hell, with flames and very little vegetation, a desolate, hot and frightening place.

The sky there was blood red, but at some points, it was as if the sky was broken, with small pieces of it showing the vast faraway universe.

Various spatial distortions covered the outskirts of the plane, but other types of destructive phenomena could also be seen from Minos’ position.

As he noticed the terrible place he had been brought to, several others like him appeared one after the other, something strange to Minos.

‘What is it? Did everyone meet the requirements at the same time?’ He frowned as he plummeted from the sky, unable to control his body in this special place.

‘No, it can’t be. It probably has something to do with the time warp of this place. Perhaps this place breaks the rules of the universe. Soo many beings advancing at the same time is ridiculous. We were probably brought here during our advances, but only when everyone had completed the requirements did the event begin.’

At the thought of this, Minos opened his mouth, noticing what this could mean.

‘Shit! If that’s the case, perhaps several decades have already passed for my group in The Enchanted Realm!’

As he thought this, more or less certain in his theories, a giant, semi-transparent figure appeared in the sky of that plane, attracting the attention of all those there to dispute this Millennium Massacre.

“My heirs, the time has come to select the top 100 who will compete in the next phase of my inheritance.”
