As Minos' party traveled through Zocarro, the War of the Worlds in the Spiritual World entered its fourth month.
Many battles had taken place in the months since Minos' party left, with casualties on both sides of the conflict. But during this time, the first reinforcements from the forces of the Mechanic Empire arrived in the Spiritual World, with reinforcements from both 10th-stage beings and Gods.
The new Mechanical Emperor was still in seclusion. Still, due to the losses suffered by the invading forces from the Spiritual World, the forces from The Adamant Land were forced to send reinforcements.
Of the 16 Gods who had come to this world at the beginning of the war, only 4 remained alive. Of the 50,000 or so 9th and 10th stage soldiers, only 8,000 had resisted the war so far.
Therefore, about a month and a half ago, the forces of The Adamant Land sent a new group to the Spiritual World.
