"So, what about you?"
Austin asked as he rested his eyes on the other governing gods of the Dragon Cosmos.
After a short pause, one of them stepped forward and answered,
"You have pushed our backs against the wall. If we don't surrender to you, you will probably just kill us all. The Dragon Cosmos will still fall into your hands.
We are left with no other choice but to yield."
The governing god sighed despondently.
"Yes, you are right.
No matter what choice you make, the Dragon Cosmos will be under my control.
The question is... are you going to die in my hands or are you going to be on my side?" Austin urged, a smile splayed on his lips.
He cocked his eyebrow, waiting for their answer.
With his strength, it would be too easy for him to conquer the Dragon Cosmos.
Even without the troops of the Blade Cosmos, he could still emerge victorious on his own and occupy their territory.
The governing gods of the Dragon Cosmos glanced at each other, as if considering their companion's thoughts and opinion on the matter. Then, as if reaching a unanimous understanding, they all nodded their heads.
The governing gods of Dragon Cosmos stepped forward.
"Master Austin!" they greeted, bowing to the young man.
They finally decided to surrender.
"Good. From now on, everything in the Dragon Cosmos will be back to normal." Austin gleefully welcomed them to his burgeoning influence.
Then, he addressed his new subordinates. "You! You will be in charge of the Dragon Cosmos.
I won't show up unless the Dragon Cosmos is at peril.
What do you think? Are you cool with my arrangement?"
Austin flatly asked as he placed his hands behind his back.
He preferred to be a compliant leader, and he had no interest in running a cosmos. He would rather have these governing gods do it for him since they were more familiar with its elaborate details.
The reason why Austin conquered these supreme universes was to expand his influence.
"No problem! We will not let you down."
Albeit surprised with Austin's proposition, they were satisfied.
According to Austin, they would still take charge of everything in the Dragon Cosmos,
and he would not make an appearance unless necessary.
Nothing had changed. In fact, they even gained an advantage in this new dynamic.
Everything was the same except they were backed by a very powerful figure. This was a bonus for them.
"Keep this in mind: don't be too harsh and let the sects and races develop freely.
Is that clear?"
Austin gave his first order as its ruler.
"We understand,"
the governing gods of the Dragon Cosmos replied in unison.
"Good!" Austin nodded.
Then, he turned around and approached the governing gods of the Blade Cosmos. "We're heading for the Fiend Cosmos."
"Yes, sir."
The governing gods of the Blade Cosmos had witnessed firsthand how powerful Austin could be. He had defeated the Dragon Cosmos' army and conquered this supreme universe in less than half a day. They were thoroughly impressed with his wit and skill, which was enough to garner an endless admiration for him.
"Sir, are we going with you?" one of the governing gods from the Dragon Cosmos respectfully asked.
"You don't need to go with me. The Dragon Cosmos has been suffering from the war these years. It would be better if you spent your time rebuilding your place first," Austin answered plainly.
With that, he turned around and left.
"Yes, sir,"
they responded in unison.
'He is right.
Because of the Blade Cosmos' invasion, we've lost half of our territory. Now that we got it back, we got a lot of work to do,' they thought to themselves. They were grateful for Austin's consideration.
With the governing gods from the Blade Cosmos in tow, Austin was now on the way to his next destination.
Since the war was over, there was no need for the troops of the Blade Cosmos to continue staying in the Dragon Cosmos.
As soon as they returned to the Blade Cosmos,
Austin went straight to the cross-border teleportation array leading to the Fiend Cosmos.
It took Donovan a lot of manpower and resources to make three teleportation arrays, which led to the Sword Cosmos, the Dragon Cosmos, and the Fiend Cosmos, respectively.
Donovan was truly a remarkable array expert to set up such high-level teleportation arrays.
Of course, Austin could also make such brilliant arrays now.
