Fortunately, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast had figured out a way to easily deal with the
puppets. As the puppets kept swarming towards them, they faced them with confidence.
Fighting side by side, the two found it so easy to fight the dozens of governing gods that dared cross
their path.
The sooner they dealt with these puppets, the better.
Thus, Austin performed the Triple Avatar Skill, summoning the other two versions of himself. Three
Austins fought the puppets simultaneously.
However, the enemy showed no signs of dwindling. In fact, it seemed that with every day that passed,
their numbers kept increasing!
About half a month later, the duo had to face hundreds of puppets at a time. Although it wasn't as easy,
they made a good team. Together, they threw their enemies out into the corridor, one after another.
After another five days, Austin realized they'd defeated most of the puppets already. This meant they'd
faced thousands of puppets!
What with their opponent's numbers finally dwindling, the duo found it easy to deal with what was left of
them.
They picked up the pace. To his delight, Austin saw that they were getting closer and closer to the
golden palace at the end of the corridor. He could almost feel the presence of the Magical Polarity
Token within it.
"When will these guys learn to stop?" the chaotic sky-devouring beast said in exasperation as he
fought off the pesky puppets.
"I hope there won't be any puppets inside the palace."
"I hope so, too," Austin said with a bitter smile.
"If there are, then it'll take us a while before we will find that token."
"We've been fighting for more than half a month." The chaotic sky-devouring beast sighed.
"I'm exhausted, both physically and mentally."
"Come on," Austin encouraged. "Don't give up just yet!"
Together, the two used all their might until they finished off all the puppets. When they saw that no
puppet was coming after them anymore, they heaved a sigh of relief. In the end, they had defeated ten
thousand puppets.
The puppets that were cast to the side returned to where they had been and stood still. Although they
had been attacked by the duo, there was not a single scratch on their bodies, which shocked Austin
and the sky-devouring beast.
But they decided not to dwell on it. They had finally reached the end of the corridor. Breathless, they
stood in front of the golden palace for a few moments.
The palace was so magnificent, a terrifying aura emanated from its very walls.
It was surrounded by all kinds of laws, which floated around it like multi-colored ribbons.
The palace gates were tightly shut. Despite this, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast could tell
that the building had a long, ominous history.
Eyeing the palace cautiously,
Austin said to the chaotic sky-devouring beast, "Let's go inside."
Although he figured there might be traps set in place, he had no intention of backing down. After all,
they had come this far. More importantly, the Magical Polarity Token was inside!
"Okay, let's move!"
the chaotic sky-devouring beast replied, following Austin's lead.
Without hesitating any further, Austin reached out to press his palms against the majestic gates.
But before Austin's hand even touched the door, brilliant golden lights burst out from the gates,
momentarily blinding the duo. Blinking rapidly, Austin saw a glowing golden figure waltz out of the
palace.
It was a tall humanoid creature, almost like a giant. He looked down at Austin and chaotic sky-
devouring beast.
After sizing up the duo for a moment, he opened his mouth to speak.
"Little ones, you must have something up your sleeves, since you managed to make it all the way
here,"
the golden giant said in a deep voice.
His words echoed throughout the space, like the thunder rumbling.
"Sir, may I know your name?"
Austin asked politely after a short pause.
Judging from the giant's disposition, Austin figured he didn't mean them any harm. At this point, he just
wanted to know who this massive golden humanoid was, before he did anything rash.
"Are you truly curious about who I am?" The golden giant's voice rumbled. "I was created to guard this
place, including the last piece of the Magical Polarity Token and those trees.
My master called me, 'spirit servant'.
You can call me that, too. I have been staying here for a long time."
"Sir, who is this master you speak of?"
Austin asked, his curiosity piqued.
"You must have heard of him, or you wouldn't have come here," the golden giant replied, straightening
his posture proudly.
"My master is the famous god of chaos, Pastor."
Both Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast gasped in surprise, evidently taken aback.
They wouldn't have imagined the giant standing before them was a creation of the famed god of chaos
—Pastor.
Moreover, although the golden giant was a just servant, Austin could tell by his aura that he was
roughly on the same level as them.
'That god of chaos is so amazing; even his servant is terrifyingly strong.
So, he himself must be awfully powerful!'
Austin thought to himself in awe.
"Sir, is the last piece of the Magical Polarity Token within this palace?"
Austin asked.
"Yes." The golden giant nodded solemnly.
"There are three pieces needed in total to make the complete Magical Polarity Token. I know that you
have obtained two of them. The last one is in the palace right behind me. However, my master has
ordered me to protect it."
"Sir, you said that you are responsible for guarding those trees around the corridor except for the last
piece of the Magical Polarity Token. Are those trees precious?" Austin continued to ask questions.
"And what are the blue fruits on the trees?"
the chaotic sky-devouring beast chipped in, out of curiosity.
During their fight with those black puppets, he and Austin had taken note of the trees around the
corridor and the blue aromatic fruits they bore.
The two could tell that those fruits were valuable, for they contained a lot of energy and special laws.
"Of course these trees are very precious," the golden giant answered as a matter of fact.
"They are called the original crown tree, one of the oldest trees in history.
Their fruit is so precious, even the gods of chaos want to get their hands on them!"
