The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2575  The Experiments Begin!

Upon receiving the Commander's trusted man at the headquarters of the Law Enforcement Hall, Minos and Abby picked up the transparent pill-shaped bottle, which was the size of one of Minos' fingers.

Looking at the item, Minos sighed, seeing the Commander was not playing around with this precious resource.

"Seems like we can't make a wrong choice," he cheerfully commented to his wife.

Ignoring Abby's smile, the General asked. "Where are you going to test it? The Commander ordered me to observe the entire procedure."

"I think the faction cave is the best place, right?" Abby looked at Minos suggestively.

"Yes, let's go to the faction cave. All our corpses are there, and there's enough room for us to work." Minos took one of Abby's hands and walked out of the Law Enforcement Hall building.

"By the way, what were you planning to do with that resource?" the General asked, following them.

Abby replied. "There are three tests I want to run. The first is on one corpse that my powers have already revived it. I want to see what kind of change one of them will go through in contact with this substance.

Then it will be interesting to test it on a creature stronger than I can control, to see the reactions in the corpse beyond my control. This could tell us how good or bad this liquid will be in a creature that is theoretically free. Will it go mad like that guild traitor who attacked us on the way out of The Obsidian Shore? Or will it become stable?

Anyway, the third experiment I was thinking of is on the corpse of someone I didn't revive with my abilities. Would that have any effect on the corpse? Would it revive? And if it didn't revive, then when I used my ability, would there be any difference from the others? Anyway, these are the most important questions I've been thinking about while waiting for this moment."

"I see," the General said reflexively, finding Abby's points interesting.

'She wants to see the influence of the black liquid before her powers, under her powers and control, and under her powers, but out of her control... Hmm, I think she's right. Any of these scenarios could have important consequences for us.'

As a member of Armhands who was more interested in the success of the guild and not necessarily the success of Minos and Abby, this General was especially interested in the scenario where Abby would test the black liquid on a corpse that she had not yet used her ability.

Depending on the results of the experiments, they could use the black liquid to reanimate beings who didn't depend on Abby's powers or who, even if they did, couldn't be influenced by her afterwards. Ideally, this would be the best of all scenarios for the guild!

With that in mind, the three of them soon entered the guild's caves area and made their way to the unit belonging to Minos' faction.

Upon arrival, Minos asked the faction members in the area to leave the cave for the time being. Meanwhile, Abby and the General waited off to the side in the area, with this man observing the large number of black urns in the area.

'They were busy conquering dead warriors...' He watched as Minos manipulated two black coffins in the area, causing the undead bodies inside them to awaken from their hibernation sleep.

Opening their eyes, the extremely preserved looking corpses, their aura very similar to when they were alive, looked at Minos in surprise.

"Level 109? How many decades have passed since I was last summoned?" asked one of the level 111 aliens Minos had awakened.

He was under the control of Abby's powers, even without Minos helping her with a temporary level increase, which meant this was the first case of the experiments she had mentioned.

Minos smiled without going into details, knowing the life span of this living corpse outside the black coffin was not long. "It was less time than you think. Anyway, we're not here to talk today. You're going to undergo the experiment I mentioned to your group earlier."

Minos had made various promises to the many corpses in his group. Some he had allowed to leave to fulfill their last wishes after they had completed some missions and the faction had achieved some peace. Others waited for Minos and Abby to grow stronger, hoping they would last longer if those two grew stronger.

In the case of the undead in front of him now, Minos had told him and four other corpses that if they helped him with some experiments, he would give them their freedom after he and Abby understood the results of those experiments.

The moment he heard this, this corpse looked at Abby, eager to continue with the experiments.

"Hehe, I didn't think you were serious, Minos. You're more generous than I thought," said the level 111 corpse.

"That is..." the General said to Abby, identifying this corpse as a former enemy of the guild.

"Yes, that's him." Abby smiled at her superior. "Minos has been collecting the bodies of his enemies since he returned to Zocarro. Some of them I've revived and they've already completed their missions, others are in this room waiting to be used, and other corpses are in his spatial ring waiting for us to use them." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"How many corpses do you have in your spatial ring, Officer Minos?" This General was interested, imagining that Minos and his faction were much stronger than everyone thought.

"About 400. I'm not sure. I stopped counting after 100." Minos kicked a number under the table.

"And what's their average strength?" The General's eyes narrowed.

"Most of them are at levels 113 and 114. I stopped collecting corpses weaker than that." Minos replied as Abby positioned herself, with him preparing to help her in case of need, using the cultivation of another corpse to raise his power to the peak of level 112.

The General swallowed his saliva when he sensed Minos had a small guild the size of Armhands' inner area in his spatial ring.

'This is worrying. He's almost at the point where he can create an army of the dead that can rival the power of the guild! I'll have to talk to the Commander about this when I get back!'

Minos didn't care what the General had in mind. He understood the rules of the guild better than the General himself, who had never been through the Law Enforcement Hall to understand the same things Minos and the Commander did.

"Ready?" He asked Abby as he motioned for the General to step aside so their experiments could begin.
