"I've offered you a choice. Make up your mind,"
Austin said indifferently with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at the governing gods.
They exchanged glances with each other and soon reached an agreement.
"We are convinced of your overwhelming strength, Master Austin,"
one of them said and the rest of them nodded. Despite not knowing for sure whether Donovan really had handed the ruling power of the Blade Cosmos over to Austin, they had no other choice.
Austin was undeniably stronger than Donovan. There was no question about that.
The governing gods were not powerful enough to resist him.
And if they didn't obey Austin, he would surely kill them. They had heard of his impatient killing sprees.
"Good. It's a clever choice. Remember your words. If you ever betray me, I will end your lives with my own hands,"
Austin warned.
The governing gods of the Blade Cosmos who had followed Austin to the Dragon Cosmos burst into laughter when their companions surrendered.
"I told you, there's no point in resisting Master Austin!"
"I am at a loss of words. Master Austin is the successor designated by Supreme Grandmaster Donovan. How could you question his authority?"
"Are you doubting Supreme Grandmaster Donovan now?"
"Never mind. Forget it," Austin said, waving his hand casually.
"Now, tell me what's going on here.
You seem to have conquered only half of the Dragon Cosmos."
"Yes, Master Austin. You're right.
The Dragon Cosmos is not exactly weak. Their army is giving their all to protect the remaining territory which we haven't occupied yet. Over the past few years, we have been tied in a stalemate.
We have asked Supreme Grandmaster Donovan to send reinforcements many times, but we have been stuck here for years,"
one of the governing gods answered, stepping forward.
"There are more than forty governing gods in the Dragon Cosmos and each of them is incredibly powerful. We have but a dozen governing gods here. That's another reason why we haven't been able to launch an attack. All we are doing currently is guarding the territory we have occupied so far,"
another governing god added.
Austin nodded in understanding and then said, "Prepare the army.
Follow me and we will conquer the entire Dragon Cosmos!"
"Yes, sir!"
The governing gods were overjoyed upon hearing his command.
He was decisive and quick to act.
It had been their biggest yearning over the years; they had been waiting for this day. With Austin leading their army, they were bound to win.
Soon, the army of the Blade Cosmos was ready to march into battle.
The void was densely packed with numerous soldiers, and the end of the line of soldiers could not be seen at a glance.
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his hand, Austin strode towards the territory of the Dragon Cosmos that hadn't been conquered yet.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The mighty army marched in the void, emitting an astonishing aura that swept through the entire cosmos.
"It's the army of the Blade Cosmos! They are coming!"
"Get ready to fight! Assemble the army!"
The creatures of the Dragon Cosmos were caught off-guard and shouted to each other in panic.
"Don't be afraid! Gather our men and get ready to fight!"
