The name of that universe was the Prison Cosmos.
"It looks like we have to find a way to sneak into the Prison Cosmos," Austin offered. He furrowed his
brows, deep in thought.
"However, it is heavily guarded. How can we get in?"
He frowned.
Obviously, Bartholomew had everything prepared. He was simply waiting for Austin to throw himself
into the net.
Needless to say, the defense of the Prison Cosmos must be heavily impenetrable.
There was a possibility that several gods of chaos might be guarding it.
Therefore, with the strength of Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast, entering that cosmos would
be a daunting task for them. Hence, they discussed among themselves what would be the most
suitable solution given their situation.
"If we want to get in, we have to use the old way,
which means we will find an opportunity to wear a disguise to sway the guards. Then, we will sneak in
once we gain their trust,"
Austin proposed.
"You're right. It seems like it would be our best option at the moment,"
the chaotic sky-devouring beast said as he nodded his head.
With that, the duo both turned their heads to the Prison Cosmos.
If they wanted to disguise themselves as prison guards, they had to wait for an opportune moment.
They had to be patient since the Prison Cosmos was sealed shut, and no one was permitted to leave
or enter without proper authorization.
At a given time, only one or two guards were allowed to go in or come out simultaneously. Any higher
than that would raise suspicions.
As soon as they agreed on their plan, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast began to patiently
wait for the perfect moment.
Before they knew it, they were waiting for the right time for several months already.
As they waited in the last few months, both of them lived in the space as two regular divine gods. They
did their best to blend in with the citizens, careful not to draw any attention to them.
As they did so, their attention was also focused on the Prison Cosmos. They thoroughly studied its ins
and outs, and any other factors they might have overlooked in their plan—they made sure their scheme
was fool-proof.
More time had passed since their plan commenced.
After exactly five months,
Bartholomew finally got impatient.
"Kill one of Austin's friends tomorrow.
Once you do so, spread the news far and wide to make sure that brat hears of it!
Let's see when Austin will take action,"
Bartholomew ordered as he banged his fists dramatically. He was getting restless and he wanted to get
his hands on Austin as soon as he could.
As he gave his command, two guards followed. They went out of the prison to spread the news.
The chaotic sky-devouring beast took notice. Hence, he immediately called Austin,
"Look!
There are two guards coming out of the prison!
This is our chance! Let's go!"
"Yes, finally! Our chance to save the Reincarnation Palace's leader finally came!"
Austin exclaimed excitedly.
As they prepared themselves, the entrance of the Prison Cosmos suddenly opened, and a dozen of
ordinary divine gods walked out.
They were especially tasked to collect cultivation resources
and bring them back for the prison guards.
Seeing this, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast immediately grabbed the opportunity.
Using their bodily movement skills, they approached the divine gods coming out.
They were chatting and laughing merrily as they leisurely walked.
They had stayed inside the Prison Cosmos for a long time. Now that they had the chance to go out and
relax a little bit, they seemed very relaxed and unruffled—their defenses were down.
Therefore, the group of divine gods did not notice that Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast had
joined them in their stroll.
Before they could even notice their presence, Austin immediately conjured a world of mind power to
envelop them.
Then, he activated his mind power to suppress them.
It quickly rushed into their Soul Seas.
Their spiritual souls were thus knocked unconscious by Austin's mind power.
As they did before, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast disguised as two ordinary divine gods.
Then, Austin took back his world of mind power.
Concurrently, he summoned a very powerful time secret skill to erase the memories of the ordinary
divine gods around them.
This particular skill was difficult to manipulate.
Fortunately, Austin was well-versed in terms of the law of time.
Hence, he easily used it to his advantage.
As soon as he finished using his skill on them, the group of divine gods woke up.
They were absolutely oblivious that two of their companions were already changed.
They momentarily felt like there was something amiss, but it was nothing they gave their concern too
much.
"Hey, guys. Did you feel it, too?
I felt like I passed out back there.
What's going on?"
"Yeah, I felt it too.
It's like I suddenly fainted.
But I can't seem to recall what just happened. You know what I mean? It's like a dream you want to
remember but it's gone."
"I experienced the same thing, too.
It feels like I woke up from my reverie!"
The ordinary divine gods Austin targeted discussed among themselves the strange feeling that washed
over them.
However, the memories of the recent events had been forcefully erased by Austin. No matter how hard
they tried to recall, they could not remember anything.
Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast chimed in with the discussion the divine gods had. They
made their guesses and their descriptions too so their newfound companions would not raise
suspicion.
"Forget it. Let's quickly collect the cultivation resources and then go back.
The warden is so irate these days, isn't he? If we waste too much time, he will definitely lash out.
We can't afford to delay this task,"
one of the divine gods said as he shuddered at the thought of their angered warden.
"You are right. Let's do what we should do."
The other divine gods nodded in agreement.
With that, they commenced with their journey and collected numerous cultivation resources in the
space sea
before they went back to the Prison Cosmos.
As soon as they finished, they returned to the Prison Cosmos with Austin and the chaotic sky-
devouring beast tagging along without their knowledge.
The very second he set foot on the Prison Cosmos, Austin quickly released his spiritual sense so he
could estimate the situation.
"Fortunately, there are no gods of chaos nearby.
It'll be easier for us to save the Reincarnation Palace's leader and the rest.
If a god of chaos was here, we would definitely be in a pickle. Our cover would be immediately blown,
and we could perish right here,"
Austin informed the chaotic sky-devouring beast. The duo was both grateful and surprised that there
were no gods of chaos in the Prison Cosmos. This would make their task a tad easier.
Pretending to be guards, they both began to secretly inquire about news everywhere in the Prison
Cosmos.
It took them half a day but they learned a lot—they found out where the Reincarnation Palace's leader
and the rest of their allies were being held captive.
As it turned out, they were being retained in one of the largest stars in the Prison Cosmos.
When they learned about this, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast immediately approached the
star. They made sure their movements were quiet and unsuspecting.
It was a good thing that they were disguised as guards, so no one doubted their presence no matter
where they went in the universe.
After a while, they had finally arrived at their destination—they reached the star where their friends
were imprisoned.
