"Stay together and work together!" one governing god of the face race called out.
The other seven governing gods then all rushed over at once.
Boom...
Seven enormous mouths, colossal enough to envelope the sky and the sun, pounced on Austin.
In an instant, they devoured a large portion of the space, swallowing it whole.
The eight faces then combined their suction power together to create an astonishing force that pulled at
Austin like a passing tornado.
"Awesome!"
Austin used his bodily movement skill to travel through space and time rapidly, getting himself out of
the way.
The Shadowless Movement, the Reincarnation Token, and all kinds of original chaotic laws related to
the speed of bodily movement were put into effect. He seemed to leave nothing to chance here.
His movements were extremely erratic and quick, his every step taking him to another space and time.
The eight governing gods of the face race couldn't keep up with him or nail down any kind of accurate
tracking on Austin.
"Form an array!"
one of the governing gods shouted on realizing they were getting nowhere.
A dense, pitch-black mist then flowed from the mouths of the governing gods, surging across
everything in sight and covering it all.
In a matter of moments, the void had been filled to the brim with this mist, so dark and thick, that no
one could even see their own fingers in front of them.
The most terrifying part was that the mist was impenetrable with spiritual sense, rendering people
incapable of sensing their surroundings in the void.
"I must admit, I did not expect the face race to have such a terrible array," a wood puppet said, his
voice filled with surprise.
The eight governing gods of the wood puppet race were all shocked and wore serious, concerned
frowns on their faces.
Even they were unable to perceive anything within this array.
It had to have been an incredibly impressive one to stop even them from getting their bearings.
"Hahaha...
Let's see where you can hide now, you human brat!"
A cold voice and wild laughter echoed ominously through the shroud of dark mist.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Eight huge mouths snapped continuously, here and there throughout the mist, searching for Austin.
The eight governing gods of the face race were on a wild hunt for Austin in the array.
They themselves were able to perceive things in the mist quite clearly, while the rest were left lost,
unaware and blind as bats.
"Austin, be careful!"
the Eight Stone Saints yelled in warning, worried for his safety.
"This array is very strange," the gnome said frowning.
He seemed perplexed and deep in thought.
He possessed a talent for the law of space. Ordinary arrays could not entrap him.
And yet, even he felt at a loss when faced with this massive array conjured by the eight governing gods
of the face race.
'This dark fog contains a very special strange law that's capable of blocking out this entire space.
Even I can't get through its barrier.
I'm afraid Austin is in serious trouble now,'
the gnome thought worriedly to himself.
"It seems possible we might fail to fulfil the mission this time," said a wood puppet.
The eight governing gods of the wood puppet race were worried as well. Things were not looking good
for any of them.
"Let's move! Get together and help Austin fight back against these foes!"
This was a crucial moment and the Eight Stone Saints knew it. They waved their large sticks in their
hands, ready to rush to Austin's aid.
"This battle is between those at the level of governing gods. If you got involved, you'd only be charging
towards your own death,"
the gnome reminded, stopping them in their tracks before they could do anything rash.
"But we can't just stand by and do nothing but watch Austin face this danger on his own!"
Asa roared with discontent.
"That's right, we can't,"
the other seven Stone Saints added, all nodding in agreement.
"You really are as stubborn as rocks!"
the gnome responded, shaking his head, displeased by their lack of foresight.
"You eight old bastards! If it weren't for your goddam wood puppet race, Austin would not have stepped
in and offended the face race, and you still have the nerve to stand by and do nothing, as if this has
nothing to do with you! Go help him!" Conor snarled.
He could not help but boil over in anger when he saw the eight governing gods of the wood puppet
race standing aside and doing nothing.
"Let's help Austin fight back!"
Asa cried out, waving his hands to his companions, rallying them behind him.
The Eight Stone Saints had always been fearless, perhaps even to a fault. They enjoyed fighting and
competing; testing themselves against others. Austin was in trouble now, how could they possibly
restrain themselves from jumping in? It just wasn't in their nature.
But then, from within the array, Austin's voice came out.
"Ha-ha, this array isn't bad, to be fair.
But it's still not enough to defeat me."
He sounded relaxed, unbothered, as if he was under no pressure at all.
"Austin, are you okay?"
The Eight Stone Saints were overjoyed to hear him sound so calm.
"Don't worry, I can take care of this. You just stay where you are and watch me in action,"
said Austin confidently.
The array was indeed quite powerful.
Even the governing gods could not perceive anything within it.
However, Austin's spiritual sense was a large step above that of an ordinary governing god.
It was so powerful, that he was in fact able to feel out and discern his surroundings in the array.
More importantly, he discovered that in this array, he could use the Reincarnation Token freely without
being affected at all.
He activated the Reincarnation Token and teleported over and over through the mist. It was almost
effortless for him to dodge the attacks of the face race.
The array had little effect on Austin now.
"The Reincarnation Token is really something.
It has never let me down! I'm truly lucky to have it,"
Austin sighed gratefully.
He had been using the Reincarnation Token for a long time and had discovered a secret it held.
Its power was constantly increasing along with his own strength.
Since he had been getting stronger,
the Reincarnation Token had been getting increasingly more powerful as well.
"How is this possible?"
The governing gods of the face race realized that Austin seemed able to perceive things inside the
array just as they could.
Every time they opened their mouths to consume him, he seemed to see it coming and dodged with
deft precision.
Austin's bodily movement skill was far faster than theirs,
and so their attacks posed no threat to him.
"How is this happening? This guy is so strange!"
The eight governing gods of the face race were all stunned and infuriated.
"If you want to continue attacking me, do not blame me for showing no mercy,"
Austin warned.
"Leave right now, human brat!
We're not giving in to you!"
roared the eight governing gods together, viciously.
"Well then, you leave me no choice,"
Austin said shaking his head, seeming as though he did not want to continue fighting.
Whoosh!
He used his bodily movement skill once more moving as swift as a ghost, passing through different
spaces and times.
"What? What's going on?
Where is that twerp? He's disappeared all of a sudden."
The eight governing gods of the face race were perplexed and taken aback.
Boom...
Then,
in the void near one of the governing gods, a long sword with terrifying energy suddenly emerged and
slashed out.
It was as fast as a flash of lightning, swinging right up to the face in an instant.
The sword emitted hundreds of millions of streaks of brilliant, beaming sword radiance, lighting the
whole sky.
"Damn it!"
When he felt the immense power of the long sword, the governing god of the face race turned pale with
terror as he floundered desperately, trying to escape.
All his defenses he tried putting up were torn to shreds by Austin's long sword.
Puff!
The long sword struck down the huge face with an ear-splitting bang.
"Ah!"
The governing god of the face race let out a horrific squeal as he was sliced in two!
