Immediately after Minos' words, 150 Soul Avatars appeared in that area, causing the spiritual energy in the surrounding area to become chaotic.
Much of the 'mass' of energy in the vicinity began to move towards them, as their soul projections attracted it to use in their techniques.
They then moved to surround Emperor Stuart, intending to impede his escape routes and improve their chances of victory.
Minos' enemies were doing this to try to achieve the possibility of killing him, as his allies did it because they wanted to avoid suffering without at least defending themselves.
And so, soon, several Soul Avatars were moving in to launch techniques against Minos while he stood with his arms open, watching them.
Suddenly, Minos smiled and simultaneously activated the Devouring Art and his innate ability, sucking the powers of his opponents.
