Whoosh!
Under Austin's mental control, thousands of puppet strings were unleashed towards the shadow race's
troops who were guarding the teleportation array.
He also used his strong spiritual sense and the Secret Reincarnation Skill to block the space.
Austin had greatly improved through the years of combat. His Secret Reincarnation Skill was shrouded
in mysterious and brilliant law power; his spiritual sense was also extremely remarkable that he could
not only utilize his own, but also his slaves' spiritual sense forces.
Hence, with Austin's current strength, blocking a space was a piece of cake and even a semi-governing
god couldn't perceive it.
At this rate, only a governing god had the ability to discern Austin's capabilities.
In just a matter of seconds, all the guarding people had become Austin's slaves.
"Activate the array right now!"
Austin ordered.
"Yes, master."
Those who guarded the array immediately followed the command.
"We hope everything will go according to plan, master!"
The four masters of the shadow race wistfully bid their farewell.
Since they became Austin's slaves, they did everything in their power to keep him satisfied. Now that
their master was leaving, they were now reluctant to see him off.
"Okay.
Just stay in the Shadow Cosmos and wait for my next order,"
Austin instructed.
"Yes, master!"
the four masters of the Shadow Cosmos obediently agreed.
Then, Austin, together with his slaves, and Princess Esther from the Elf Cosmos, hid into a spatial
magic treasure.
A slave from the shadow race took this magic treasure with him and stepped into the teleportation
array.
Boom!
The teleportation array began to work.
Meanwhile, the Shadow King felt something was amiss.
"Damn it! Someone's leaving! There's a teleportation array being activated."
He quickly dashed towards the array.
"It must be that human brat. Stop him!"
Alarmed, the Elf King also headed straight to them.
Soon, the Shadow King, the Elf King, Donahue, Kendal, Harland, and Fagan all gathered in front of the
teleportation array where Austin had left through.
The two kings deduced and found out that the one who had just left was a member of the shadow race.
The scene was clearly projected, showing a figure standing in front of the teleportation array.
"He used to be my subordinate, but he betrayed me and escaped to the Elf Cosmos with another group
of defectors.
I have also paid Prince Amit a large amount of money to help us arrest these traitors.
Unexpectedly, he showed up here again!"
Donahue exclaimed, pretending that he was flabbergasted to see him here.
When in fact, he clearly knew everything.
"It must be that human brat!
He must have hidden in this traitor's body."
The Elf King was livid.
"Why did you let this traitor leave?"
Pissed with the turn of events, the Shadow King was just harshly interrogated the array guards. His
eyes were sharp like hawks, as if he was willing to annihilate anyone who would give him the wrong
answer.
"He has Master Donahue's token, sir. We have no choice but to obey his orders."
They all immediately knelt on the ground, and their voice shook in trepidation.
Of course, all the array guards had become Austin's slaves. Everything was an act to fool the two
kings.
They were merely feigning their respect and apologies.
The Shadow King was frustrated, but he couldn't do anything since the deed had been done.
What they said about Donahue's token in the Shadow Cosmos were all true—it couldn't be disobeyed.
"Have you ever thought why your people would ever betray you? And why would they even follow that
human?"
the Elf King asked. He started to doubt everything after he gave it a deep thought.
"I'm investigating it,"
the Shadow King replied.
"I'm afraid it's related to the spiritual race.
Those who betrayed us might have been controlled by a secret skill, Puppet Strings; something
exclusive to the spiritual race.
Apart from this reason, I couldn't find any more plausible reason why they chose to betray you and run
away with a human, moreover, following his orders obediently,"
the Elf King suggested, his voice solemn.
"Puppet Strings!"
the Shadow king ejected. He was obviously dumbfounded on this suggestion, but on some level, it
made sense.
He had some knowledge of this skill.
"Humph, I'll find out the truth.
If it really has something to do with the spiritual race, I will definitely ask them to pay for what they've
done,"
the Shadow king vowed.
"Where are they leaving for?"
the Elf King asked.
"It's the Sea of Chaos,"
an array guard hurriedly answered, and his voice was a little strained.
"The Sea of Chaos!"
the kings exclaimed in unison.
"So, my eldest son was taken to the Sea of Chaos."
The Elf King's face looked dejected with this discovery.
If they were still in the isolated alien spaces, things would be much easier to deal with.
As the leader of Elf Cosmos, others would definitely help his situation.
However, in the Sea of Chaos, he had nothing in there since it was dominated by the super forces.
"I promise I'll find out what truly happened!
No matter who you are, I'll teach you a hard lesson after I find out what kind of trick you're playing!"
the Elf King pledged through gritted teeth.
"Humph! He stirred up trouble in my place and didn't take me seriously at all!
Don't worry. I'll also send people to the Sea of Chaos to search for this human.
I'll inform you as soon as I find anything,"
the Shadow King angrily hissed, sharing the exasperation the Elf King had.
"That would be great.
Thank you!"
The Elf King nodded and bid farewell to the Shadow King. Then, he turned back to the Elf Cosmos.
He could do nothing for his disappeared eldest son, which made him feel helpless and wrathful.
After returning to the Elf Cosmos, he immediately sent countless elite masters to the Sea of Chaos to
search for Austin.
Then, he went to the Spirit Cosmos, but he failed to make any progress since most of the senior
leaders were Austin's slaves.
The Shadow King also sent his troops to the Sea of Chaos, but that would be a story for another time.
Meanwhile, in the Sea of Chaos, Austin was finally back from the isolated alien spaces.
"Yes, we have indeed returned to the Sea of Chaos."
Austin found himself in an abandoned chaotic void.
It was very remote and desolate without any sign of people.
'How's the alliance going?'
Austin thought. He wanted to know how his people were getting by with their tasks.
He stayed about half a year in the isolated alien spaces.
He was starting to worry for his troop.
However, the anxiety soon dissolved since he knew it was under the protection of the twelve zodiac
animals.
Once they formed the Twelve-animal Array, their combined power was equal to a governing god. He
was certain that no one in the Sea of Chaos could destroy the alliance.
