An enormous boom echoed in the air.
The premium-grade divine god named Ismail had a terrifying power that he demonstrated as soon as
the fight began. His hand changed—it grew larger and larger, until its fingers were like five majestic
mountains thrust towards the sky.
Ismail attacked Austin with all the might of his vast form, like a raging landslide.
"Don't worry, Enoch. I just want to test his ability. I'll try not to hurt him,"
Ismail said.
Austin sneered. Without saying a word, he stood in the path of the incoming strike without trying to
jump aside. The gigantic palm came closer and closer.
A split second later, the huge palm paused just above Austin's head.
Austin did nothing. He simply stood there, waiting.
"Is this guy suppressed by the power from Ismail, or what? Isn't he able to move?"
"Not much to see, huh? He doesn't even seem to have the ability to dodge. At least try to escape, boy."
"It seems that Master Enoch has judged him wrong. This young man is too weak."
The divine gods of the Blue Ocean Universe Community all wore expressions of disappointment and
censure. They shook their heads and frowned.
"Well, so be it. I'd better take back my palm power, or else I won't be able to explain to Enoch why I
killed him. I might accidentally smash him into meat paste since he isn't fighting back."
Ismail was particularly disappointed by this turn of events. He prepared to withdraw his palm power.
However, at that moment, Austin suddenly moved.
In a flash, he was gone. He and Hannah had disappeared.
It happened so abruptly that no one saw where he went or how he'd done it. All they knew was that he
had vanished without a trace.
"What happened?" the gods demanded.
The sudden disappearance caused consternation and confusion among the surrounding gods.
Then Austin finally made his move.
"Damn it!" Ismail shouted.
Without warning, Ismail felt a chill down his spine, feeling a sense of crisis. Although he couldn't see
Austin, he knew he was near.
There was a series of thuds as Austin attacked Ismail.
Austin appeared silently behind his opponent. He landed a punch on Ismail as stars began to bloom
around his fist. Countless huge stars fell from the void as he launched his attack, like a rainstorm of
sparks.
The terrifying gravity of the stars poured out. The space they occupied began to crack and collapse in
sections.
After practicing and mastering the Star Skill, Austin's fighting power had soared like a rocket.
The Star Skill was a truly overpowered ability, one that could overwhelm virtually any opponent.
Ismail roared with rage.
Austin's unexpected attack shocked and enraged him.
He instantly realized that he had underestimated Austin, and he no longer dared to treat him as
anything less than an equal opponent.
His long hair stood up, and his body began to rise. The terrifying energy surging out of his body roared
with the sound of thunder. Ismail was now exerting his full power.
There was a sharp bang as he slapped at Austin with his palm.
A dazzling purple light shone from his hand, as though a bright light had been filtered through a violet
and gold crystal. The light was blinding. Ismail's palm technique was known for being ruthless and
violent.
Austin was undeterred. He swung forward with his arm.
Austin's fist and Ismail's palm collided in midair. Rolling starlight and purple light crashed together.
The premium-grade divine god took a step backwards, staggered by the impact of the blow.
Austin, on the other hand, held his ground. He did not move an inch.
"Unbelievable!" "This is shocking!"
The other beings who watched muttered exclamations of surprise, shocked by what they were seeing.
"No!" Ismail shouted, letting out a roar of rage.
He prepared to attack again.
But before he could do anything, Austin vanished again, along with Hannah.
Belatedly, Ismail processed the fact that throughout the whole sequence of their battle, Hannah had
been hanging on Austin's arm.
Austin's aura was so strong that it protected her from any harm.
Even so, the girl was still frightened. Her face was pale as she stared in awe at the fight between the
two high-grade divine gods.
She clung tightly to Austin's arm and her heart beat rapidly in her chest.
This was the kind of battle that could easily destroy not only heaven and earth, but even starry skies
billions of miles away. It was too much for her.
She had never imagined that she would personally experience a battle of this magnitude.
This time, Ismail was swift to react to Austin's disappearance.
He immediately turned around, raising his hand, ready to attack.
He thought he saw movement and struck towards it.
His palm let loose a violent, chaotic hurricane, which pushed forward with terrifying momentum.
However, he missed his target.
Austin appeared on his left side, with Hannah gripping his arm.
Austin was attacking with such impossible speed, and using such unpredictable tactics, that those who
watched could barely follow his movements.
The surrounding gods stood a safe distance away from the battle, but they felt a sense of tingling dread
as they watched Austin. Indeed, their hearts sank at this clear evidence of his mysterious skill and
incredible power.
Austin punched Ismail once more.
His fist landed on Ismail's head with all the force of his powerful Star Skill.
The stars around his fist shone brightly, illuminating the chaotic void for billions of miles.
The immense gravity of the stars was exerting tremendous force in this space, affecting thousands of
nearby worlds. To those present, it felt as though the weight of all surrounding space was pressing
down on this battlefield.
Ismail howled.
He slapped at Austin's fist with his enormous palm.
Once more, however, Austin evaded his attack.
He and Hannah vanished again.
Before Ismail could react, he felt a flurry of punches raining down on his whole body.
Austin was darting from left to right, from his front to his back, surrounding him on all sides. And with
every move, he landed rapid punches on Ismail.
Ismail was forced to step back under the barrage of continuous attacks. Austin clearly had the upper
hand.
Ismail was using all his strength to fight against Austin. He had activated runes of supreme
enlightenment, and applied all the skills he had mastered throughout his life.
He wondered desperately if it would be enough. Grimly, he fought to defend himself and reverse the
situation. His runes glowed brightly even as his face turned red with anger and anxiety.
However, he couldn't keep up with Austin for long.
After a few moments, his guard slipped. His reaction was too slow, and Austin managed to land a full-
force punch on his shoulder. The power of the blow threw Ismail far back into space.
Fortunately, Austin didn't really want to hurt him, so he withdrew most of the star gravity in time to
prevent any serious damage.
"I admit defeat! Leader Austin, show me mercy!"
Ismail cried. At this point, he realized that he was outmatched, and that Austin could easily defeat him.
Austin stopped when he heard Ismail admit defeat.
For a moment, the two fighters and everyone surrounding them fell into complete silence. No one
dared to move or speak.
The other gods were staring at Austin with utter disbelief.
How could a preliminary-grade divine god defeat a premium-grade divine god, and defeat him so
decisively that the latter couldn't even fight back?
Not to mention the fact that Austin had carried Hannah with him all throughout the fight! But she had
not been hurt in the slightest, and he looked absolutely calm and unruffled.
It seemed as though he had defeated Ismail without even needing to exert his full power.
Enoch burst into raucous laughter, breaking the silence.
"Ha! Now do you all believe me?"
He felt very satisfied at the outcome of the battle.
His opinion of Austin rose even further.
"Austin, that was terrific!
Very exciting. I am very impressed by you."
At this point, Hannah finally came back to her senses. Like a small kangaroo, she hung on Austin's
neck happily, swinging with excitement.
"Hannah, let's go. Show me around the Blue Ocean Universe Community,"
Austin said to Hannah, smiling. He ignored the others. He didn't want to waste any more of his time
with the gods of the Blue Ocean Universe Community.
"Okay, Austin, come with me!"
Hannah said lightly, and she slipped her small hand into Austin's. Her skin was soft as cotton candy.
"Leader Austin—"
Enoch said, hurrying forward to stop him.
Austin paid no attention. In a second, he had gripped Hannah's hand tightly, and the two of them
disappeared.
Enoch shook his head. "Look what you've done! You have completely offended Leader Austin.
He saved our entire Blue Ocean Universe Community without asking for anything in return.
But you repaid him with mistreatment and distrust.
What an ungrateful bunch you are!
Alas!"
he said, frowning at everyone around him. He waved a hand irritably in the air, then turned to leave.
"Master Enoch, please don't go. It's all our fault!
What do you think we should do now?"
said the gray-haired premium-grade divine god to Enoch.
"Enoch, it's my fault this time. I'm too old and I obviously misjudged the situation. I shouldn't have
doubted Leader Austin, let alone attacked him!"
Ismail said awkwardly.
"It's really our fault. We repaid kindness with ingratitude. We were very unfair in our treatment of Leader
Austin,"
the other gods said regretfully.
"Master Enoch, please tell us what to do. Give us some advice. What can we do to make up for our
offense to Leader Austin?"
asked the gray-haired god anxiously.
"Why are you asking me? How on earth would I know the answer?
It was your mistake, so you fix it on your own. Don't bother me with this any further,"
Enoch grumbled, still feeling irritable towards the others. He was determined to leave.
