"Go get them!"
More and more semi-governing gods arrived and charged at Austin.
"This human boy has some tricks up his sleeve.
Use your mind power to attack him!"
the semi-governing god who had lost his blade shouted.
Austin could not be defeated with ordinary attacks. He was far too powerful and terrifying.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The semi-governing gods who had just arrived unleashed their mind power to attack Austin and the
gnome.
"Ouch! That hurts!" the gnome screamed.
Austin looked calm and collected. It was as if nothing had happened.
The attack from the semi-governing gods had been terrifying.
The gnome grimaced in pain from the hit.
Austin released a powerful aura using his mind. It surrounded the gnome and enveloped him in a
protective bubble to keep him safe.
The gnome was relieved.
Although the mind power was invisible and imperceptible, Austin was very proficient in it. He knew how
well it worked.
He had no difficulty in handling mind power attacks.
Ordinary mind power attacks couldn't hurt him
because he knew how to use his own mind power to protect himself.
As soon as he realized mind power was entering his body, he immediately released a counterattack.
The moment he summoned his mind power, it would appear.
It made dealing with mind power attacks a breeze.
Austin also used spiritual sense to assess the gnome's condition.
Every time the mind power entered the gnome's body, Austin would immediately use his mind power to
help him resist it.
With his help, the gnome recovered quickly.
"Austin, I didn't expect that you would have such strong mind power.
Your talents are excellent! I'm impressed,"
the gnome remarked.
"Come on! Let's go and find that maternal tree!"
With a whoosh, Austin and the gnome took off in search of the tree.
"Stop him!"
The wooden puppets panicked upon seeing Austin and the gnome head toward the maternal tree.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, many heavy weapons flew across the sky and rained down on Austin and the gnome.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
However, they all bounced off before they could even hit the pair.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Tremendous mind power kept appearing inside Austin and the gnome, threatening to tear their insides
apart.
Austin frowned.
He used his mind power to block the attacks, and he moved at the speed of light to dodge his
opponents.
Austin also unleashed the law of reincarnation, the law of space, and the law of time. This made it
impossible to see what he was going to do next.
The wood puppets couldn't locate Austin.
They started randomly throwing out attacks.
"Damn it! This human boy is way too powerful for us to handle.
We need to report this to our supreme grandmasters. We should let them deal with him!"
the semi-governing gods roared.
After a while, the gnome suddenly pointed toward a space in front of them.
"It's over there!" he said to Austin.
"Yeah, the law of life feels rich over there!
We are very near,"
Austin responded.
Numerous green ribbons floated in the space ahead of them. They swirled around in the air, emitting a
faint, green glow.
These ribbons were all made out of the law of life.
While the two of them surveyed the area, eight streaks of green energy appeared.
The space shook violently.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Eight figures popped up in front of them.
They were the masters of the wood puppet race. They glared at Austin and the gnome with their
piercing eyes.
The members of the wood puppet race were usually short and diminutive in stature.
However, the eight masters before them were as tall as giants. Their eyes were like huge, deep pools.
It was a horrifying sight to behold.
Austin and the gnome studied them and found that they were governing gods.
"Austin, the governing gods have come to us,"
the gnome said, his face turning pale with fear.
"And there are eight of them. Austin, can you handle it?
Don't push yourself. If you can't hold them off, we need to run away now.
Governing gods are incredibly powerful,"
he said.
When he spoke, his voice was shaking.
It was not surprising to see the gnome act like this.
In any world, a governing god was the strongest existence.
No creature could match their strength.
"Don't worry. Everything's going to be fine. I'm here.
Gnome, I thought you would be braver than this,"
Austin said, amused by his response.
"I'm not a coward. I'm just being cautious!"
the gnome snapped, rolling his eyes at Austin.
"Human boy, how did you get here?" a governing god of the wood puppet race asked abruptly.
He narrowed his eyes at Austin.
The space shook as he spoke.
"That's none of your business.
I just want to see your maternal tree,"
Austin said, huffing.
"How dare you?! You are not worthy of a visit to our maternal tree! Who do you think you are?
You should just leave!"
another governing god of the wood puppet race said.
"I'm sorry, but it is imperative that I see your maternal tree.
I am not leaving until I set my eyes on it,"
Austin said, shaking his head.
"How dare you?!
Brat, you are courting death!" the third governing god shouted, seething with fury.
His face had turned red with anger.
His anger caused all the laws and energy nearby to stay static.
Without another word,
the governing god released a burst of terrifying green energy
toward Austin.
The pressure from the governing god's attack was terrifying. The void began to disintegrate under its
impact.
If a semi-governing god were around, he would be crushed and explode on the spot.
"The governing god is alarmingly powerful. He could defeat me with his mere aura,"
the gnome said, sighing.
"It's not that powerful at all," Austin commented.
With a wave of his sleeve, he released the great cosmos force and aimed it toward the green energy
column.
In an instant,
the immense green energy dissipated like snow thawing in the sun.
The gnome immediately felt relieved.
"How is that possible? !"
The governing god who had just attacked was dumbfounded. He looked at his comrades in disbelief.
"This human boy is really something. No wonder he dares break into our ancestral land."
The other governing gods scrutinized Austin. It seemed that they had underestimated him.
It was amazing that such a young creature could become a semi-governing god.
He even blocked a governing god's attack without breaking a sweat!
The governing gods of the wood puppet race were astonished.
