Chapter 2840 In the Midst of an Alien Combat

As Minos and his wives neared the domain once ruled by the legendary "king of beasts," they found themselves in the midst of a local dispute between powerful individuals. The conflict wasn't severe enough to pose an immediate threat to their lives, but it was certainly noticeable and couldn't be ignored.

The group concealed themselves amidst the lush, verdant vegetation on the surface of Eater, their senses heightened. They could feel the Celestials and Supremes nearby, their energy crackling in the air. The sound of clashing weapons and grunts of effort echoed through the dense foliage as the level 124 Supremes battled fiercely. It seemed, from what Minos had surmised, that the Supremes were fighting to the amusement of the Celestials standing on different sides of the battle.

However, this was no ordinary battle. With Celestials involved, you couldn't be too careful!

"Shit! What bad luck we've had!" As the ground shuddered beneath her feet, Gloria spoke, her voice barely audible over the deafening explosions and thunderous stomps of the warriors engaged in a ferocious battle ahead.

"Why did we come this way?" Abby asked Minos.

He had undoubtedly envisioned a future where his group would encounter resistance while passing through this area.

Maintaining a low profile and ensuring the group's protection, he explained to them, "We had no other option. These, at least, aren't Celestials interested in us. We just have to keep moving forward and get through that area."

"Will we manage that?" Ruth asked her husband, keeping her ability connected to her partners in case something happened to them.

"Difficult. It would certainly be easier if they weren't here." Minos laughed bitterly, but the Nautilus' Compass and all the data he was gathering with his abilities and future perception told him that this was the best possible way forward.

But apart from the questions they still had to answer, they had learned that Slapis had been a friendly territory of the 'king of beasts' for at least most of his journey in Eater. Such a territory had grown up against the 'king of beasts' former domain after his fall, something difficult for the group to analyze as being a friendly attitude or not.

Given the lack of information they had, they didn't know if Slapis had stabbed the 'beast king's' subordinates and possible heirs in the back, or if it wasn't really like that at all. What they did know was that Slapis must have had information about the end of the beast king's life.

Minos' wives looked at him, wondering what he had in mind now.

'Is it worth approaching them?' he asked himself, naturally in a hurry to get information as soon as possible.

Celestials and even Supremes were the natural enemies of anyone who was vying for a place in the Upper Realm or even had parts of a True Celestial's body themselves. After all, this was the way to enter the Upper Realm, and everyone would definitely fight for such a chance.

But identifying someone with these possibilities wasn't so easy. Unless the difference in cultivation was very great, it was possible to hide this information, depending on the type of interaction.

'If we spend even a few hours just watching these Celestials, they won't sense the truth about us. As long as we don't have to fight or be analyzed, we can go unnoticed by them even after brief contact.' Minos pondered the possibilities for his group.

If his women, or he himself, were stronger by one level or another, he would be confident even against a fight with those level 125 Celestials entertaining themselves in their vicinity. But since that wasn't the case, he wouldn't be so confident.

"Let's try our luck. Better to risk a fight against level 125 Celestials than delay our plans and risk something with that damn Qhava when she's already level 128!"

They couldn't disagree with him on that and naturally got into formation to go ahead with Minos' plan to approach the Slapis members nearby.
