Even after killing hundreds of governing gods, they still weren't done. Austin and the chaotic sky-
devouring beast remained hidden near the Ninth Floor waiting for the next group of targets.
As long as they weren't found, Austin would wait there. He planned to teach Bartholomew a lesson he
wouldn't forget.
Suddenly, a horrifying aura came from the Ninth Floor.
Followed by a gigantic figure emerging from inside.
It was a god of chaos.
Standing at the entrance to the Ninth Floor, he looked a little perplexed.
With his acute perception, the god of chaos felt very uneasy.
It felt like something was very wrong.
So he held still at the entrance of the Ninth Floor and began to deduce.
Mysterious runes flew out of his body, one after another.
Austin decided to take his precautions as well and took out a teleportation rune paper. He needed to be
prepared in case anything went wrong.
Then both he and the chaotic sky-devouring beast hid their auras. They activated the secret skill the
infinity beast had taught them.
After deducing for a while, the god of chaos wasn't able to detect either of them.
He continued to look around in confusion.
"Was it just my imagination?"
Finally, the god of chaos shook his head and ran off. In an instant, he had disappeared, but Austin and
the chaotic sky-devouring beast remained motionless.
A moment later, the god of chaos suddenly reappeared. Again, he looked around.
"I really must have been imagining it then!"
With another shake of his head, he used his bodily movement skill and flew into the distance.
Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally left this time.
In the following days, Austin continued to lurk near the Ninth Floor. He kept waiting for the next group of
targets.
In the meantime, dozens of people gathered in a vast palace somewhere in the Ninth Floor.
They seemed to be in the middle of a serious discussion.
Bartholomew and a dozen wizards of the darkness race sat in the palace.
Everyone's face darkened.
"I didn't foresee Austin saving them under such a tight defense," one of the wizards said.
"No wonder it was difficult for us to catch him before."
"This human brat has become a nuisance and very difficult to deal with," he continued.
He shook his head and sighed.
"You were all right. Austin really did come to save his friends," Bartholomew said.
"It's a pity that he escaped. I still can't believe that we couldn't catch him."
"Wizards, do you have any other way to find him?" Bartholomew asked after some thought.
He was desperate to find Austin and rein him in.
While the wizards of the darkness race weren't that great in battle, they were great at deduction.
Not to mention, they were quite smart and resourceful.
"Lord Bartholomew, we can't think of a way to find him right now."
"Austin is too cunning and difficult to deal with."
The wizards all shook their heads dejectedly.
For a moment, the hall fell into silence.
"I didn't expect someone like him to be so difficult to deal with," Bartholomew said.
Bartholomew's face darkened and he sighed helplessly.
"I've sent almost half of our men from the Ninth Floor to track him down. I hope we can get some
results."
Bartholomew looked rather frustrated.
"Austin, just wait and see," he suddenly shouted after a few seconds.
"I will catch you one day! And when I do, I will make sure you suffer the cruelest torture known to man!"
Bartholomew gritted his teeth angrily.
"You will be sorry when I get my hands on you!"
Bartholomew shouted through his gritted teeth, hatred for Austin was brewing in his heart.
Finding Austin had become his utmost priority.
By now, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast had killed hundreds more of the governing gods.
That was in addition to the countless divine gods and genuine divine gods as well.
Seven or eight thousand of them had been killed so far.
All the while, Bartholomew and the wizards worked on a way to find Austin.
But they couldn't come up with anything.
"Well, please try to deduce again and see if you can find any clues."
Since he was out of options, Bartholomew had no choice but to rely on the wizards deducing again.
"All right."
The wizards nodded in agreement.
They had stayed in the Ninth Floor for a period, and Bartholomew had offered them a lot. All the
wizards had gotten wealthier from their stay here.
So, they were more than happy to help.
The wizards of the darkness race began to deduce.
That lasted for a little while.
Abruptly, all their faces changed at the same time.
"Lord Bartholomew, something is wrong!"
"Something happened near the Ninth Floor, and it has something to do with Austin!" one of the wizards
said.
It was very off.
"Something happened near here?" Bartholomew asked in surprise.
"What do you mean it has something to do with Austin?
Is Austin still around?" Bartholomew was confused.
That was impossible. It had taken Austin a lot of effort to escape from the Ninth Floor. Bartholomew
had thought he would run as fast as he could and hide.
"How dare he stay here?" Bartholomew shouted.
It made no sense.
"Lord Bartholomew, something did happen near this space sea."
"And it had something to do with Austin. Please have faith in our deduction," one of the wizards
repeated.
He was certain there was nothing wrong with their deduction.
"I suggest you get someone to investigate right away," the wizard advised.
He seemed so confident.
"Well, I believe you," Bartholomew said with a smile.
"So he's been close by all along. That's great. And here I was worrying about where to find him!"
"Let's leave together. I will catch that bastard myself!" Bartholomew was happy now that he knew
where Austin was.
He was desperate to catch him with his own hands.
Now that he had a chance to do so, Bartholomew was brimming with excitement.
"Let's go!"
The wizards also stood up.
With Bartholomew's order, groups of people rushed out of the Ninth Floor and began to seal the space
around it.
"It seems that we have been discovered."
Seeing this, Austin immediately gauged what had happened.
"We should probably leave now,"
Austin said with a smile.
He waved his hand.
Numerous corpses were transported out of Austin's human world.
Those were divine gods from the Ninth Floor Austin had killed.
He'd kept each and every one of them.
The corpses amounted to over nine thousand. There were corpses of both governing gods and divine
gods.
Austin was sure that Bartholomew would be so mad when he saw the corpses.
Austin waved his hand, and they all flew to the entrance of the Ninth Floor, floating there. It was a very
spectacular sight!
