In the end, both Old Lady Meng and the Memory Bridge had disappeared. Only the chaotic void was
left behind.
"Senior fellow brother, where are we going now?"
one of the governing gods of the underworld asked Austin.
"Oh, there's no need for that, or Mr. Lin anymore. You may just call me Austin."
Austin was unaccustomed to having junior disciples look up to him.
"But we were ordered by our ancestor to show you respect. We do not dare go against his commands.
I hope you understand,"
one of the governing gods of the underworld said.
"All right. You can call me whatever you like,"
Austin said. He felt a headache coming on.
The nine governing gods of the underworld were hundreds of thousands of years older than he was. It
was quite awkward to hear them call him "senior fellow brother".
However, these governing gods of the underworld were also the successors of the reincarnation race.
He didn't repulse them.
"Let's go back to the underworld first,"
Austin said.
He beckoned for his companions to follow him. They all left the desolate and remote chaotic void and
ventured back to the underworld.
Austin released his spiritual sense to perceive the entirety of the Sea of Chaos, but he could not sense
Humphrey's aura. It seemed that he had not returned to the Sea of Chaos yet.
However, he could sense that many other creatures were carefully watching their every move.
Austin recognized some of the creatures as Humphrey's confidants.
"Get your asses over here!"
Austin shouted loudly, calling them out.
"Austin, you... What do you want?"
Humphrey's confidants were terrified. They knew in their hearts that they could not defeat Austin.
After all, Austin was a powerful being. He had been able to hurt Humphrey. Who was to say he could
not kill them?
They were so afraid that they would not even be able to withstand Austin's weakest attack.
They trembled with fear as they responded to him.
"Austin, don't act recklessly! Master Humphrey will seek justice for us and take revenge on you once he
comes back!"
"That's right. Master Humphrey might not show you any mercy!"
They attempted to intimidate him with mentions of Humphrey's power.
They thought that although Austin was powerful, he was still no match for Humphrey.
They had relied on Humphrey's great strength in the past, bullying and standing over all the other
creatures. They were tyrants, but they did not wield any true power.
They were used to having Humphrey's name back them up. Now, they were trying to scare Austin off.
"Are you so obsessed with being Humphrey's minions that you can't even think for yourselves?
I asked you to get your asses over here, but you are still hiding! Why, I should beat you for this insult!"
Austin yelled out, his face darkening.
He had thought of letting them go peacefully. However, when they threatened him with Humphrey, he
decided that they should be taught a lesson.
Austin had made up his mind.
As soon as he finished speaking, a palm condensed by law energy appeared in the void. It shot toward
the creatures.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Each creature's face was met with a resounding smack. Each slap came one after the other, making a
sound like exploding firecrackers.
Humphrey's confidants were beaten black and blue. They screamed like pigs being slaughtered.
They struggled to defend themselves, but they could not move. They could not even lift a finger. They
were being held in place by such powerful law force!
These creatures were all ordinary divine gods.
However, they were like helpless children in front of Austin.
"Mr. Lin, please stop. We know we were wrong! We will do as you say!"
Austin had brought them to their knees. They knew they could not stand up to him.
"I would have treated you more kindly had you not insulted me!
Honestly! It's like you were just asking for trouble,"
Austin sighed, shaking his head.
"Mr. Lin, you are right. We really just wanted to cause trouble.
Mr. Lin, please tell us what you want us to do!"
They rushed toward Austin and bowed their heads in front of him.
"Have you been like this toward Humphrey all these years?
It seems that he has tortured you all so miserably."
Austin observed the creatures groveling in front of him and shook his head sadly.
The creatures were all silent, dumbfounded by Austin's words.
They all lowered their heads. Their eyes held deep hatred and remorse.
Austin had struck a nerve. Although they were Humphrey's confidants, they cowered in fear of him.
Humphrey was a cruel master. He killed as he pleased, with no regard to another creature's life.
Although these creatures used their ties with Humphrey as a way to intimidate others, they, too, were
living in a hellish existence.
They feared for their lives as each moment passed.
"Well, I won't make things difficult for you. I called you here because I wanted to ask you a question. I
know that Humphrey has not been around the past few days. Where has he gone?"
Austin asked flatly.
"Mr. Lin... We don't actually know.
However, before he left, he gave us a message.
He said his strength would definitely improve greatly once he returned.
He also said that it would be easy for him to finish you off when the time comes,"
one of the creatures said.
"Mr. Lin, I once overheard Master Humphrey murmuring to himself. He was wondering if the other
chaotic sky-devouring beast has already hatched,"
another creature said to Austin.
"What?
Does that mean there is another chaotic sky-devouring beast?
No... There is an egg containing another chaotic sky-devouring beast.
Is it possible that Humphrey went to go find it?"
Austin was taken aback by the news.
It was exactly because he took the body of one chaotic sky-devouring beast that Humphrey was so
powerful.
If he had the bodies of two chaotic sky-devouring beasts, he would become unstoppable! There would
be no limit to his strength!
