"No! Don't you have any dignity left in you?!
Please let me go!" Warner pleaded so hard.
His voice was already breaking and he was panicking to the extreme.
He had been infamous in the entire Sword Cosmos for quite a long time due to his ferocity and was
renowned for more than half an era.
In fact, even the four major forces were afraid of him and Emmet.
It could be said that the pair always had the reputation equal to that of the governing gods of the four
major forces.
With all that, of course, his pride wouldn't let him accept becoming a slave of others.
He would rather just die than be one.
At this moment, Warner was about to give up all hope. He was unwilling to yield but Austin had been in
total control of his body.
He started regretting the fact that he dared to provoke the young man— now the most feared person in
the entire Sword Cosmos.
Warner realized that he was already doomed the moment he destroyed the strongholds of the Curry
Sword Sect and killed Austin's divine god slaves.
If only he could turn back time and prevent his actions back then, he would.
Warner's eyes dimmed as his consciousness started to fade. He thought to himself, 'If only I didn't
cross paths with this evil young man, I wouldn't be suffering like this!'
However, it was too late to regret his actions. There was no way to undo what he did, and he should
experience the consequences of his deeds.
He knew that Austin wouldn't let him off the hook, and nothing he said could change the young man's
mind.
After struggling for about four hours, Warner felt that he was falling into a confused state. It was as
though his memories were being altered or manipulated.
After a while, he stopped moving and his eyes became very calm.
At the sight of his absolute obedience, Austin also stopped torturing his body.
In a few seconds, Warner's broken body had been restored to its original state.
Finally, he was completely subdued.
He was now one of Austin's loyal slaves.
"Warner's spiritual soul was indeed much stronger than ordinary semi-governing gods'.
Even if it can't totally rival with a governing god, it's definitely close enough."
A smile of satisfaction appeared on Austin's face as he stared at Warner's current state. After subduing
this monstrous semi-governing god, he had a better understanding of his strengths and what he was
now capable of doing.
"Fortunately, I have already subdued many semi-governing gods before, so I've garnered quite rich
experiences.
Otherwise, I might have failed in subjugating him."
Austin heaved a sigh as his accomplishment sank into his mind.
Out of nowhere, as if Warner had regained his senses, he acted like he was about to bow down to
Austin.
Like all the other cultivators he had enslaved, they tended to show their utmost respect to their new
master.
"No. You don't need to do that. Actually, you can't let the men of the four major forces know about your
relationship with me.
You should keep Emmet in the dark as well.
Right now, we still need to pretend to be enemies.
We need to act convincingly," Austin quickly conveyed his thought to Warner in secret.
He thought that in order to defeat the governing gods of the four major forces, he would make Warner
his secret helper.
Austin deemed that it could play a huge role in his plans in the future.
"All right, master. I got it."
Warner trusted what Austin said without any hesitation.
"Don't worry, master.
I'll try my best to make everyone believe that we're still on the opposing side," he added.
"Yes. Keep doing that until I give another order."
Austin nodded and felt relieved.
If truth be told, he didn't expect that he could even subdue one of the two infamous evildoers of the
Sword Cosmos.
Realizing that, Austin quickly ran through his plans in his head.
Now that he had another capable underling, his plan to conquer the Sword Cosmos should become a
little less troublesome.
"Ha-ha! You dimwit! You really expected me to be your slave? I'll die before I become one!
Besides, I'm the almighty Warner! Why would I submit to a lowly creature like you?
Quit dreaming!
Just wait and see, you brat! You'll pay for this!
I will make you pay manifold of what you did to me!"
Suddenly, Warner activated his bodily movement skill and swiftly flew away from Austin.
"Humph! You can run but you won't escape from me!"
Austin snorted as he also activated his bodily movement skill to chase after Warner.
Whoosh!
Before long, Warner's body started to burn fiercely. The divine fire was blazing all over the sky, burning
the space wherever he passed by.
He was burning his divine blood to further stimulate his potential.
As expected, his speed had increased greatly.
Swoosh!
In a flash, he disappeared from Austin's sight who was left far behind.
"Damn it! That sneaky bastard!"
Austin showed exasperation as his face contorted.
Of course, Austin and Warner were impressively just acting so credibly to erase any suspicion from
Emmet and the governing gods.
"Here I come!"
Warner roared as he rushed to where Emmet and the governing gods were still fighting.
Seeing this, the faces of the governing gods instantly became sour.
They did their best to separate the two because if they worked together, their power would become
absolutely unstoppable.
They already experienced it before, and it had been utterly difficult dealing with them.
"Ha-ha! Good job! Finally, you're back."
Emmet was so overjoyed that Warner got rid of Austin.
Once they fought together again, they would be able to exert their fullest potential. At this point, there
was merely a short distance between them.
"Separate them!
If we let them join hands again, we'll be in so much trouble!"
"That's right! Do whatever it takes to keep them apart!"
The governing gods quickly split into two groups to prevent the pair from approaching each other.
"Austin, what are you doing?
Stop them immediately!
We can't let their swords combine! We're all going down if that happens!
You're already on the same boat as we so do your part!" one of the governing gods shouted frantically
at Austin.
He knew that with Austin's strength, he could at least stop one of them while the rest of the governing
gods focused on the other.
In this battle, Austin had proved that he possessed such unbelievable power. He had displayed an
astounding fighting ability that could fight against the governing gods simultaneously. That was why
they were confident that he alone could deal with either Warner or Emmet.
"Huh? Why would I?
I don't recall giving you permission to order me around.
I don't need to stop them.
After all, every one of you is my enemy.
So, why should I help you?"
Austin taunted the governing gods who were now panicking terribly.
"Austin, you bastard!
We'll make you pay for going against us!"
The governing god was so furious that he glared at Austin.
"Shut up!
Is that all you can do? Threaten me?
Ha! Let me show you true power then!"
The look in Austin's eyes suddenly turned stone cold as he raised his hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly made his move.
Swoosh!
Austin unleashed his Mind Sword Skill to attack the governing god.
It happened so fast that there was no way the governing gods could dodge.
The powerful Mind Sword Skill swiftly pierced into his body and crazily wreaked havoc.
"Argh!"
Unable to resist the attack, the governing god let out a sharp scream of pain.
Although the strike of the Mind Sword Skill could not cause fatal damage to him, his body still got
heavily wounded, especially his internal organs. This in turn caused him tremendous pain.
"Austin, what are you doing? Why are you attacking us?
I thought we agreed to take Warner and Emmet first?!
We need to deal with them first because we'll all be doomed if they joined hands and combined their
swords!
You may even be the first one to die here, don't you realize that?!" another governing god yelled at
Austin.
"Well, I changed my mind. As I said, you're all my enemies. I can attack anyone of you whenever I
want!
So, since you annoy me… I will deal with you first.
Besides, don't forget that you, the four major forces, are my biggest hindrance in gaining control of the
Sword Cosmos."
Austin burst into maniacal laughter.
Swish! Swish!
Austin quickly waved his hands and unleashed the Mind Sword Skill and attacked as many governing
gods as he could.
It took less than a second for Austin to hit every single one of the governing gods with his unstoppable
skill.
The speed of his Mind Sword Skill was just too fast for them to resist or dodge.
After all, it had the same speed as his spiritual sense—perhaps even faster.
In just one breath, Austin slashed out thousands of strikes of the Mind Sword Skill toward the individual
bodies of the governing gods.
"Ack!"
All of the governing gods screamed in agony. Their bodies suffered constant attacks that inflicted them
unbearable pain.
"This guy is insane! He was helping us just now and all of a sudden just started helping the other side!"
"Stop this, brat! You don't understand the consequences of your actions!"
The governing gods couldn't help but roar furiously at the actions of this strange young man.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Warner and Emmet had finally reunited. They wasted no time and
unleashed their black and red swords. They pointed them out towards the distance and formed their
most powerful array.
Boom! Boom!
Then, in the surrounding space, a large amount of great cosmos force was being summoned and was
continuously absorbed into the bodies of Warner and Emmet.
At this moment, the aura being emanated by the two got stronger and stronger.
