The top-ranking figures of the four major forces of the Sword Cosmos, watched the battle that took place in the Blade Cosmos' army's headquarters.
Austin's impressive display of raw power sent a rush of unease through them all.
He battled with dozens of governing gods of the Blade Cosmos, and had even managed to gain the upper hand on them.
The battle had put them all in a deep silence, filled with equal parts of fear and contemplation.
They hated to admit it,
but they knew that Austin was now stronger than they were.
They were overtaken by frustration, perturbed by the predicament this put them in.
'None of the governing gods in our forces are capable of facing off against him in a one-on-one battle now.
He's become something else, the most powerful cultivator in the Sword Cosmos it seems,' the core members of the four major forces thought. They felt defeated already.
In the Thousand Sword World, the high-ranking figures of the Blade Cosmos' army had ferocious glares cemented on their faces.
"What should we do? Do we call our men back and send for reinforcements?"
one of the governing gods asked with a deep, concerned frown.
This was the most humiliating day they had ever experienced. The entire army sneered, upset and with their pride shattered and ripped from them.
They had all been stuck in a state of gloom and dejection since Austin had taken off. The more they thought about what they went through, the angrier they became.
"Not yet.
Let's first correspond with the four major forces of the Sword Cosmos and see if perhaps we can finish Austin off together.
It's not just the Sword Cosmos we're trying to take, there are several other supreme universes we have targeted as well.
Right now, we should avoid calling for backup, for as long as we can.
Not until we are completely out of options and all hope is lost to us.
We should handle Austin on our own for now.
If we still can't get rid of him in the end, we'll have to retreat and report back to Supreme Grandmaster Donovan.
I believe he at least will be able to take Austin out," the elder revealed slowly.
He had considered their situation quite calculatedly.
He was the commander of the Blade Cosmos' army in the Sword Cosmos; stronger than the other governing gods present, and outranking them too.
"You're right. That seems prudent," someone said, the other governing gods nodding in agreement.
They at least had a plan now.
They knew their leader spoke true.
Austin had already left the Thousand Sword World and was traveling through many different worlds.
With his current strength, he no longer needed to hide from anyone in the Sword Cosmos. No one would dare cross him now.
He could go anywhere and do anything he so desired.
Throughout the Sword Cosmos, many creatures talked among themselves about Austin as they watched him move through.
He was bound for the Ethereal World.
Along the way, numerous creatures, of all sorts of races and forces, looked upon him with great respect beaming in their gazes.
Many young people in particular, rushed over from afar, just to catch a glimpse of Austin in the flesh. They stood on the path he had to pass through, kowtowing to him like loyal servants to a benevolent god. Austin was their idol, the one they all looked up to and wished they could be.
"Leave the Sword Cosmos!"
Austin had threatened the senior leaders of the army of the Blade Cosmos before he left their headquarters.
This fearless declaration was what gained him so many admirers.
Innumerable creatures from different races and forces had been victims of the Blade Cosmos' invasion.
By the end of it they had taken over and occupied half of the Sword Cosmos' territory,
which was home to more races and forces than could be counted.
They hated these invaders with a burning passion that ran through to their core. They longed for someone to throw them out, dreaming of reclaiming their home.
Unfortunately, the four major forces of the Sword Cosmos had never had any success in driving away the invaders from the Blade Cosmos.
But now things had changed; they had Austin on their side.
His terrifying strength and fearsome, intimidating ways of operating brought new hope to countless creatures in the Sword Cosmos.
'Perhaps this young man can lead us in the fight against invaders from the Blade Cosmos!'
many creatures thought with excitement fluttering in their hearts.
