"Ha-ha! Look at this guy. He seems very confident in his abilities.
I can easily crush a semi-governing god like him to death with just one finger.
How dare he stand in front of us so calmly? Well, I must admit that he is quite bold!"
"Hey, guys. Have you lost your minds?
You have so many governing gods, and yet you support a semi-governing god as your ruler. And you
even call him master! Aren't you ashamed?"
"The Blade Cosmos is doomed.
Humph! When Donovan was still around, you bullied us.
From now on, we will invade the Blade Cosmos!
It's time for us to get our revenge!"
The governing gods of the Dragon Cosmos mocked and laughed even louder when they heard Austin.
"Master Austin, please give us the order right now. We'll dismember these guys in an instant!"
"Damn it! I can't stand it anymore. These guys are too rude. How dare they insult Master Austin like
this? They are humiliating the entire Blade Cosmos!"
"Master Austin, allow us to kill them!"
The governing gods from the Blade Cosmos standing behind Austin roared with fury. They were
desperate to fight the governing gods from the Dragon Cosmos.
However, Austin ignored their requests. Instead, he gestured at them to calm down and then turned to
face the Dragon Cosmos' army. He said,
"You don't believe that I'm qualified to rule the Blade Cosmos? Humph! How about we make a deal? I'll
stand here and let you attack me. If you can hurt me, even a little bit, the Blade Cosmos' army will
retreat from the Dragon Cosmos immediately."
Then Austin moved. He was so fast that in a flash, he stood before the governing gods of the Dragon
Cosmos fearlessly.
"What? Is something wrong with my hearing?"
The governing gods of the Dragon Cosmos turned and exchanged puzzled glances. Austin's proposal
had stunned everyone!
"Brat, are you serious?
Are you sure that you will stand there, unmoving, and let us hit you?"
asked a governing god of the Dragon Cosmos. Anger glimmered in his eyes as he fixed his gaze on
Austin.
"That's right.
I will stand here, and I will not fight back, nor will I dodge your blows. I will allow you to attack me.
If you can hurt me, even a little, I will lose,"
Austin replied with a nod.
"Boy, you are too conceited!
You must be insane to challenge us like that. You are only a semi-governing god! You can't withstand
our attacks."
that governing god retorted. Fury coursed through him at the thought that Austin was insulting the
Dragon Cosmos by making such a proposal.
Another governing god of the Dragon Cosmos stepped forward. His eyes filled with killing intent as he
shouted,
"It doesn't matter. Since this guy wants to die, let's fulfill his wish!
Let me deal with him!"
Then a sneer spread across his face as he fixed his gaze on Austin.
"Brat, you will pay for your insolence and pretentiousness.
Remember, arrogance without power or strength will bring you to a disastrous end!"
His lips curled as he mocked Austin.
"Wait a minute. Before we go any further, we have to discuss the rest of the terms.
Suppose you don't hurt me. Then what? Will you agree to surrender to me and obey me?
What do you think?"
Austin asked with a faint smile.
"What nonsense! How dare you say such a thing?
You want us to surrender to you?!"
the governing god of the Dragon Cosmos, who was about to attack, roared. The anger that had surged
within him turned into rage now. He was so incensed that he felt his blood boil.
"Lad, what makes you believe that we will agree to submit to someone who cannot match us in power
or strength?"
the other governing gods of the Dragon Cosmos also shouted angrily.
"Oh?
Does this mean that you don't dare to take the bet?
Do you have no confidence in yourselves?
Fine! Then forget it,"
Austin remarked before dismissively waving his hand at them.
Swoosh!
Before they could respond, Austin turned and took a step toward the army of the Blade Cosmos. In a
flash, he had crossed the long distance that separated the two armies.
"He moves astonishingly fast!"
The governing gods of the Dragon Cosmos couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder when they saw
how fast Austin could move.
Austin's bodily movement skill was so quick that they couldn't catch him. Even if they wanted to stop
Austin, they were powerless.
The governing gods of the Dragon Cosmos exchanged hesitant glances before they finally made their
decision. Then, one of them said,
"Okay, we agree!
Lad, just don't be a coward and back out at the last minute!"
"Master Austin, please rethink your decision. There is no need for you to waste time on them. We'll all
fight,"
several governing gods of the Blade Cosmos urged Austin.
Saturated with concern for his well-being and safety, these governing gods couldn't help but advise him
to reconsider.
Although they knew that his fighting power was exceptional, far beyond that of an ordinary governing
god,
they were afraid that he would suffer injuries if he didn't dodge or retaliate.
It was too dangerous!
They didn't think that Austin was strong enough to withstand such a one-sided bombardment.
"Don't worry.
They can't hurt me,"
Austin calmly reassured them.
After that, he turned
and took a step forward.
Like a ghost, he vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of the Dragon Cosmos' army. With his
hands placed behind his back, he stood there, unmoving.
"Let's proceed, shall we?"
he stated expressionlessly.
"Damn it! This guy's continued insistence to underestimate us is demeaning. He will pay with his life!
Let me kill him!"
a governing god of the Dragon Cosmos roared before he stepped forward.
Then...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two silver halberds appeared in his hands. His valiant aura soared toward the sky as he released a
terrifying divine power. In the blink of an eye, they slashed at Austin.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His move was very simple, but he poured all his strength into it. The energy contained in the two
halberds was so frightening and intense that it caused the chaotic void in the surroundings to shake.
In a moment,
the two halberds neared Austin. The alarming impact energy emitted by the halberds shook Austin's
body like a lone boat in a stormy sea.
"Watch out, Master Austin!"
the members of the Blade Cosmos' army shrieked in alarm when they saw how the attack affected
Austin.
"Ha-ha. This guy is so arrogant. Now he knows the extent of our power!"
The Dragon Cosmos' army burst into wild laughter.
However,
the next moment,
something unexpected happened.
The two halberds hacked at their target, but they only grazed the space around his body. They did not
hit him.
There was not a scratch on Austin's body. Even his clothes were intact. The only damage done by the
violent energy hurricane was a fluttering of his clothes.
"No way!
How is this even possible?"
The governing god of the Dragon Cosmos, who had attacked, was dumbfounded and couldn't believe
it.
He was a governing god, but he couldn't hit a semi-governing god despite the short distance.
This had never happened before!
"No! I don't believe it!"
he roared. Embarrassment and disbelief surged within him, and he raised his halberds and smashed
them toward Austin again.
His weapons swept forward again. This time, they formed hundreds of millions of halberd shadows that
blocked the void where Austin was standing.
Boom!
The two halberds swept across space and time, tearing them apart.
However,
the same unexpected thing happened again.
His halberds grazed the space near Austin. In fact, they were only a hair's width away from his body!
And yet again, they inflicted no damage to their target.
"Ha-ha. The array inheritance left by Donovan is indeed brilliant."
Austin couldn't help but laugh.
It turned out that Austin had set up several powerful Time and Space Arrays around his body.
As these arrays guarded his body, it was difficult for outsiders to locate his body accurately, let alone hit
him.
