"Ha-ha!
With these two giant servants, no one would dare to mess with me!
You two, come over here and bow to me. I am your master," the supreme holy tree exclaimed with extreme enthusiasm and grin on its face.
Ever since it had acquired its servants, it had been full of hot air.
"Yes, master."
The voices of the two titans rumbled against the air. Then, with their enormous body, they slowly bowed to the supreme holy tree to show their respect.
Even with their bent torso, their towering figure still touched the clouds that drifted past their ears.
"Woodrow, can't you be low-key?"
Sherman taunted, raising its brows and pressing its lips.
"Rest assured, young man. No one in this universe will dare to lay a finger on you, now that I have your back,"
Sherman gently uttered, intending to comfort Austin.
"Come on, Sherman, are you serious about that? Why don't you keep a low profile?"
the supreme holy tree retorted, bursting into a soft chuckle.
While Sherman and the supreme holy tree competed on whoever got Austin's back, the young man's companions stared at the two giants in shock.
Violet and Sue clapped their hands and exclaimed in delight as though the two creatures were some sort of entertainment.
"Shrink,"
Sherman ordered the two giants.
"Yes, sir," the giants replied in rehearsed chorus.
Slowly, they shrank into the size of an average human before respectfully standing behind the eight holy trees.
"Wow! I can't believe they can even change their size!"
Austin exclaimed in sheer surprise, smiling from ear to ear while running his gaze between the two giants.
"Of course they can.
Like you humans can enlarge yourselves, these giants can shift sizes too.
They need to use an omnipotent skill to diminish their size.
Just like how you take advantage of energy or activate the Omnipotent Bodily Skill to turn into a giant, these giants can do otherwise too,"
Sherman thoroughly explained while glancing at the now dwindled giants.
"Oh, I see. That's rather convenient, isn't it?"
Austin uttered with a nod, caressing his chin.
Taking a deep breath, he then added, "Come on. Let's get out of this small world."
As he waved his hand, he and his people went through the space crack and returned to their universe in no time.
The sea of stars and the Celestial Continent were both located in a small world, somewhere quite far from where Austin originated. So, frankly, it was quite a trip.
Austin took out ten warships to let all his crew get aboard.
Immediately, the ships turned into beams of light and hurriedly flew into the distance.
As they drifted in the dark space void, Austin sat cross-legged in one of the vessels.
The eight holy trees, Caroline, Ivy, Sue, and the others, rested in their own chambers while Austin was on guard.
Half a day through their travel, Austin sensed something uninvited––strong auras from a distance.
"Here they come,"
Austin said with a frown as he opened his eyes abruptly.
Under his control, the ten warships halted one after the other.
Without any words, Austin disembarked the ship, and with a wave of his sleeve, he sent the ten warships along with the people aboard back into the Slave Tower to keep them safe.
Soon after, the eight holy trees rushed out of the tower and stood beside Austin, seemingly getting ready for a fight.
The young man then released his demonic avatar that held the Diabolic Killing Needle.
"Austin, looks like your spiritual sense is not weak, after all."
A middle-aged man in a purple robe graced Austin's sight, staring at the latter with a playful look and smug on his face.
"Humph! You little bastard, there is no escape for you!
Hand over those eight stone men if you still wish to live."
A man with intense sword radiance came out of the void. His sharp eyes pierced through Austin. If looks could only kill, those eyes would have already shot Austin dead on the spot.
This man was the leader of the Sword Palace.
