The seven governing gods of the Long Sword Sect didn't expect to hear this from the supreme grandmaster. Of course, they were left speechless.
To say they were upset was an understatement as they felt the depression creep up to them.
They knew that they could no longer live with great dignity in the Sword Cosmos the way they did before.
That was why the sect leader and the six governing gods couldn't even bring themselves to look at Austin. Instead, they lowered their heads and wished that they could find a hole where they could hide and never appear again.
Meanwhile, in the void far away, the people of the Long Sword Sect saw this scene and felt aggrieved as well as shocked.
It was hard for them to accept this fact since it meant that from now on, these people from the Long Sword Sect had to follow Austin's every order.
They were cursing Austin just now. However, before they knew it, things began to change.
Their hearts definitely were heavy.
"Whoa! The supreme grandmaster of the Long Sword Sect has personally promised that the sect will submit to Austin!"
"What?! The Long Sword Sect is conceding to Austin?
Then that means they have to follow his orders!"
"I can't believe Austin is that powerful! He even got a super force to pledge their allegiance to him!"
This ending greatly shocked and flustered countless creatures.
At this same moment, all the senior leaders in the Blade Cosmos were also watching the battle from afar. They saw everything that had happened clearly.
"Damn it!
Back then, the four super forces ruled the Sword Cosmos together. They each had their own territory and scope in the cosmos.
They didn't unite nor display their best in terms of their fighting prowess.
However, now that Austin is ruling over the Sword Cosmos, all the forces and creatures in the Sword Cosmos would swear allegiance to him. They'd be joining forces!
That means the overall fighting power of the Sword Cosmos would remarkably increase.
This puts the army of the Blade Cosmos at an extreme disadvantage! We're in big trouble," a governing god said in a worried voice.
He was watching the battle from the headquarters of the Blade Cosmos army.
"You're right.
He is a stumbling block for us!
He will definitely affect our army's plan to conquer the entire Sword Cosmos!"
Even though several of the governing gods didn't say a word, they nodded in agreement.
"Ha-ha! Sure, that's a thought.
However, I think you're all wrong. It's actually the opposite.
Things are looking up for us, and we have Austin to thank for that.
You see, it is he who has reduced the overall fighting power of the Sword Cosmos. He's making things easier for our army!"
One of the governing gods suddenly broke the silence.
"Oh?"
The other governing gods all looked stunned as they shifted their gaze to him.
"Think about it.
The strongest forces in the Sword Cosmos are the four super forces, right?"
He brought out his right hand and raised his thumb as though he was about to start counting. He then added, "Well, the members of the Flying Immortal Sword Sect don't go out of their headquarters anymore. They don't even pay any attention to the affairs of the Sword Cosmos.
Then, there's the Xi'men Clan. They don't have any grudge against Austin anymore, but I'm sure they wouldn't follow his orders and would only stand idly by.
Meanwhile, the Sky Sword Sect has retreated from the headquarters and hid. They wouldn't submit to Austin but would definitely make an enemy of him.
That's three of the four super forces in the Sword Cosmos.
They wouldn't be joining that little brat for sure.
Now, there's only the Long Sword Sect left.
Tell me. Do you still think we're utterly encumbered?"
The governing god concluded his elucidation with a sly smile.
"Ohhh, that makes sense!"
"You're right. You are actually right!"
The governing gods of the Blade Cosmos all felt ecstatic when they heard such a brilliant assessment. They nodded in joy as they realized what he meant.
"Wait.
That's still one super force, right?
Even if there's only one sect obeying Austin's order, it still wouldn't be easy for us to defeat him.
I mean, we can all see how powerful he is.
On top of that, if our army and the Sword Cosmos' army get in a fight in the future, there's still a huge chance that the other three super forces might come and fight us as well."
"Ah, yes. You don't have to worry about that.
I have already reported this matter to Supreme Grandmaster Donovan.
Besides, there are still some things we can do on our own for now.
I think it's best to send people to the Sky Sword Sect right away to inform them about this and to ask them to join us in dealing with Austin!" a governing god replied.
"All right!"
It was evident in their expressions that the governing gods were pleased as punch.
Meanwhile, in the Long Sword World, Austin had his hands full with the Long Sword Sect.
"Good, good.
