"Austin is so powerful right now in terms of combat power. I'm afraid that it won't be that easy to deal
with him.
Even if we already know that he possesses the treasures of Master Sword, it doesn't make much
difference,"
one of the governing gods said. His voice was filled with helplessness.
"What are you saying?
Yes, he's powerful, but he's just a brat who has no one to rely on but himself!
As long as he doesn't come from some ancient major force in the Absolute Space Sea, why are we
going to be afraid of him?
Besides, we have no other choice but to deal with him. Working together is our only option to beat the
shit out of him.
Otherwise, he will continue to mess up with the entire Sword Cosmos and bring so much trouble to us.
We'll never have a peaceful life then!"
another governing god snorted coldly.
"You're right!
Of course, we can't let him do as he likes!"
"We have so many strong people on our side. There's no need to be terrified of him.
And if four governing gods can't bring him down, then call another dozen to fight him!
We'll do whatever it takes to eliminate him in our path!"
All the governing gods showed fiery determination in their eyes as they nodded in agreement.
Just the thought that Austin had obtained the treasures of Master Sword had ignited the uncontrollable
greed in their hearts. They knew that if they could take the young man down, everything he had would
fall in their hands.
In addition to the treasures, they also knew that Austin was the one selected to be the successor of
Sword Son Curry.
Thus, if they couldn't remove Austin from the scene, he would definitely haunt and make ceaseless
trouble for them and the whole Sword Cosmos.
"In that case, put aside everything for now.
Dealing with Austin will be our top priority. That brat has been on the loose for a long time.
It's time to end that bastard's life!"
a senior governing god declared sternly.
"That's right!
Let's teach that arrogant guy a lesson!"
The rest of the governing gods nodded repeatedly with serious expressions on their faces.
"We can inform several more governing gods to join us.
When Sword Son Curry ruled the cosmos, other forces also opposed his leadership.
If we can rally them to our side, we'll have better chances.
There is no doubt that Austin is the successor of Sword Son Curry.
He's actually the person behind Austin's every action in the Sword Cosmos. The young man must be a
puppet to realize his real motive.
He must be planning to return to the cosmos and gain control of the ruling power again!
Therefore, this is the right time for all the forces who once opposed Sword Son Curry to unite!
Once we ensure their support, all we have to do is wait for Austin to make his move. We'll settle all our
scores as he comes to us,"
one of the governing gods suggested.
"Yes. That's reasonable.
Austin might get the better of us if we don't fight together. Thus, we'll have to overwhelm him and strike
with all we've got."
This governing god oozed with strong killing intent that sent a shiver down the spines of the other
governing gods.
They all thought that Austin was doing all these things because he was being manipulated by Sword
Son Curry in order to gain the power to control the Sword Cosmos again.
"All right. We have now established a plan. We'll unite as many forces as we can to bring Austin down.
We'll implant hatred in everybody's heart so that they'll be greatly motivated to retaliate against Austin.
We cannot let Sword Son Curry return to power. He'll have to get our consent first if he really wanted
to. However, that will never happen,"
a governing god uttered coldly with a sly smirk.
Meanwhile, Austin was still rushing back to the Divine Sword Mountain.
After leaving the Wind World, he thought of hiding for a while.
After all, he just faced four governing gods and needed to rest and recover.
Right now, in the entire Sword Cosmos, the safest place that he could stay was the Divine Sword
Mountain.
It could be said that only because of the Divine Sword Mountain was Austin able to prolong his stay in
the Sword Cosmos.
Otherwise, he would have already been driven out of the cosmos by all the governing gods of the major
forces.
As Austin strode, he felt relieved as he finally saw a glimpse of the Divine Sword Mountain just ahead.
Although Austin didn't get hurt badly in his battle against the four governing gods of the Long Sword
Sect, he still felt exhausted.
He needed to get to his top condition because he knew that they were going to chase him again soon.
"The governing gods of supreme universes are on a different level!"
Austin couldn't help but exclaim as he remembered what happened in his recent battle.
"Stop right there!"
As soon as Austin approached the Divine Sword Mountain, a large group of people appeared in front of
him and prevented him from going further.
Obviously, these people must be from the four major forces of the Sword Cosmos.
For quite some time now, the four major forces stationed many people around the Divine Sword
Mountain to guard the place against intruders.
They were actually acting like the mountain was their territory.
"What did you say? Why do I need to stop?
Do the four major forces really think that the Divine Sword Mountain is under their control?!"
Austin snapped as he saw these people guarding the mountain and blocking his way.
"So, this is what's going to happen. I'm going to send a message to the four major forces through you!
From now on, everyone shall recognize that the Divine Sword Mountain is only controlled by the five
sword spirits. No one is allowed to step his foot on this mountain without their approval!"
Austin shouted furiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden violent noise filled the air.
It was as if a raging storm was about to ensue.
Then, in the blink of an eye, a torrent of red silk strings poured down.
Among these people from the four major forces, there were dozens of divine gods.
Of course, Austin would not let them off the hook that easily.
Currently, he had risen his standards and only allowed divine gods to be his slaves.
After all, his opponents were also getting stronger. Thus, the creatures with lower cultivation levels
didn't interest him anymore.
Just a moment later, all the divine gods from the four major forces became docile and bowed in front of
Austin.
"Master!"
Dozens of divine gods suddenly greeted and addressed Austin with the utmost respect.
The power of his Puppet Strings had already become very powerful.
He could even subdue and enslave a semi-governing god now.
Thus, it wouldn't cost him too much energy to subdue a bunch of divine gods.
"W-what the hell?!
Sirs, what is happening with you?"
The rest of the people of the four major forces were utterly dumbfounded as they saw and heard the
divine gods call Austin "master".
"All of you! Listen carefully and spread this news. From now on, no other forces are allowed to enter
the Divine Sword Mountain.
Go against this and I will kill them without mercy!"
Austin declared in a cold tone.
"Yes, master!"
all of the newly-enslaved divine gods answered at the same time.
Immediately after, Austin started ascending the Divine Sword Mountain without casting a second
glance at the people below him.
"What are you still doing here? Didn't you hear my master's order?
If you don't want to die, get out of here right now!"
Without hesitation, the dozens of divine gods began to expel their former comrades out of the
mountain.
"Argh!"
Those who were slow enough to react were slashed down by Austin's slaves on the spot.
Still in disbelief of what just happened, the other members of the four major forces had no other choice
but to flee immediately.
After a brief moment, the rest of the people from the four major forces had completely fled out of the
mountain.
At the same time, on the Divine Sword Mountain,
Austin climbed along the zigzag trail to reach the upper area.
"Master Curry!"
Instantly sensing Sword Son Curry's aura, Austin was both surprised and pleased.
He also recognized that instead of a spiritual soul mark, Sword Son Curry himself was really here this
time.
Sword Son Curry had stayed in seclusion in the Sea of Chaos all this time. He had dwelt in the Ice
Sword World of the Ice Palace for such a long time.
However, right now, he had personally returned to the Sword Cosmos.
Austin quickened his pace and rushed to the top of the mountain, excited to see Sword Son Curry.
He instantly saw Sword Son Curry as soon as he reached the top.
Austin quickly approached and greeted him.
"Master Curry, I forgot to ask you last time. When did you return to the Sword Cosmos?"
Austin was genuinely elated to see Sword Son Curry.
"Ha-ha. This is my hometown.
I think I can return whenever I want.
But to answer your question, I've been here for a while."
Sword Son Curry was actually also happy to see Austin. He couldn't help but laugh and be impressed
by Austin's growth.
"Austin, we witnessed the battle in the Wind World. It wasn't bad considering you faced four governing
gods."
At this moment, the five sword spirits also made their appearance and approached Austin.
"Ha-ha. Well, thank you, sirs,"
Austin replied with an awkward smile as he lightly scratched his head.
"I'm really impressed by your progress, Austin.
Your talent in swordsmanship is already beyond my imagination.
It just proves that I didn't make a mistake in trusting your potentials.
By the way, I actually came here to give you something.
I believe that it will be of great use to improve your fighting ability even more,"
Sword Son Curry said with a faint smile.
"Really?
What is it?"
Austin was like a child who was so excited upon hearing what Sword Son Curry said.
After all, Austin was obsessed with improving his strength. Thus, he was looking forward to anything
that could enhance his fighting power.
