The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2818  Back to the Sea

The days passed and no problem was capable of disturbing the group's peace approached them as their Hell Lifelings built the vessel for the journey they were about to begin.

The initial Hell Lifelings that Abby had brought back to life multiplied, reaching the number of over 200 individuals in the week she gave them to build their vessel.

The task of building a ship capable of withstanding the brutal forces of the Violent Sea was no small feat. Under normal circumstances, such an endeavor would require months, if not years, of painstaking labor and meticulous planning. Yet, with this extraordinary workforce—a legion of experienced navigators, master builders, and tireless assistants, all imbued with supernatural vigor—the impossible became possible.

As the sun began its descent on the final day of construction, Minos, and his wives approached the site of their Hell Lifelings' labors. What greeted them was a sight that exceeded even their expectations.

Before them stood a vessel of formidable presence. Stretching 12 meters in length, 5 meters in width, and towering 6 meters high, the ship was compact compared to some of the behemoths that plied the dangerous seas, yet it exuded an aura of strength and resilience that belied its size.

Despite having been built with parts from different types of vessels that had failed in the face of the Violent Sea, Minos' ship had a solid appearance and displayed powerful formations. Having been crafted by basically Supremes, this vessel resulting from the efforts of Abby's invocations was even better than the vehicle Armhands had used to reach Uzira.

"Your Excellencies, your vessel is ready." Introduced a level 117 navigator, one of the main individuals behind the construction of the vehicle. "It has a cultivation area, bedroom, kitchen, individual and collective bathrooms for the master bedroom, but also common areas for the crew and rest cabins.

It can be navigated by a small group of 8 experienced navigators, as previously requested."

Minos didn't intend to take so many Hell Lifelings with them on this journey, but he would take a small group to look after the vessel and facilitate their journey. Despite their powers, they were not experts when it came to traveling by sea.

Abby and the women liked what they saw, a vessel that wasn't ridiculously well crafted, but that met their expectations.

Given the short time the Hell Lifelings group had had to build it, it was the best they could have hoped for.

"Very good work. Have you split up so you know who's coming with us?" Minos asked as he looked at that level 117 man.

Immediately, eight people stepped forward, introducing themselves to Minos' group. Among them was the level 117 Supreme.

"Yes, Your Excellency. We are not necessarily the strongest of those who have been given a second chance by Her Excellency Abby, but we are the ones who have experienced the most of the Violent Sea and have the most knowledge about the ship."

Minos nodded in acceptance. "Very well. Prepare the ship for departure. It's time to move on."

The eight of them moved into position, while the rest remained stationary.

Abby led the remaining group. "Ten of you will stay behind and erase the traces we left in this area. As for the rest of you, you'll split into two groups. One will go to the outskirts of Hilltop City. Someone will find you and take you to Armhands' post that you will serve. The other group will support the rebels on the mainland."

The men and women made similar gestures of thanks and understanding. Before the group heading for the Violent Sea even entered the water, most of the individuals in this coastal area disappeared, heading for the mainland.

Minos and his wives didn't stay long after the departure of over 180 individuals. They made their way to the colorful boat waiting for them and saw the last Hell Lifelings begin to clear the area as they slowly moved away from the continent.

"We're finally back at sea," Gloria said as she remembered their arrival decades ago, when they had experienced various problems amid their desperate escape from the pursuit of the Sea Serpent, who was in search of the Nautilus' Compass.

The Sea Serpent had probably continued his search and had even spoken to his contacts in Uzira. But Minos' trip to the second phase of Devdar's inheritance and then their group's trip to Hell had probably prevented any encounter with that powerful supremo.

Now the group was returning to the sea, but without the fears of that time.

"Sigh! It's a pity that Wenni and Walkas got lost on our journey to Uzira... Otherwise, they could have joined us on this journey and destroyed the damned Sea Serpent," Abby said in a mournful tone while their group was already in the lounge of their private area on the ship.

During her stay in Hell, before meeting up with Minos, Gloria, and Ruth, Abby had the chance to do something similar to her husband and use a Reincarnation Wheel to analyze the situation of some old acquaintances of hers.

She saw the situation of some reincarnations of dear companions, such as Mirya and Viola, Angela, Brooke, and several others who had lost their lives in the Spiritual World before their departure. Almost all of them had already reincarnated and were experiencing their subsequent lives, while others, Abby herself had helped to initiate their reincarnations.

But in the case of Wenni and Walkas, they had been totally lost, having been destroyed and lost the chance to reincarnate because of the imperfect mode of Abby's own powers before she got her crown.

If they hadn't gotten out of her control at the time they were imprisoned in Cursed Rock, everything might have been different, but since they hadn't, those two were lost for good.

The rest of the group knew about this and mourned along with Abby, turning their hatred towards both the sovereign forces of Uzira, but also the Sea Serpent himself, who had killed those two in the first place.

"We have many names to avenge." Minos muttered as he looked through the window of that cabin. "But the time is coming when we will stop mourning the blood of our comrades along the path we have traveled. And don't think that they've died completely. In our memories, they will live forever."

The three women stared in silence at Minos, each of them shivering at his words.

"The journey ahead still has dangers. But we are close to solving them all. Let's hold on a little longer. We're at the turning point of our journeys!"
