When Minos and his group began to explore Zocarro, only two months had passed to those in the Spiritual World since he and his group had left through the universal wormhole!
Neither Minos' group nor the people of the Spiritual World were aware of the difference in the passage of time between the places they were in.
Meanwhile, the war in the Spiritual World was heating up, with more deaths on both sides of the war against the alien invaders.
The aliens were expanding their territory while the powers of the Spiritual World were losing experts and ground, but in return, they were getting more kills among the aliens.
Just over 50,000 aliens had come to this world for the war of domination. No reinforcements had arrived on this planet yet, so with the losses of this group over the past two months, their numbers had now reached half of what they had when they arrived.
