Fortunately, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast had figured out a way to easily deal with the puppets. As the puppets kept swarming towards them, they faced them with confidence.
Fighting side by side, the two found it so easy to fight the dozens of governing gods that dared cross their path.
The sooner they dealt with these puppets, the better.
Thus, Austin performed the Triple Avatar Skill, summoning the other two versions of himself. Three Austins fought the puppets simultaneously.
However, the enemy showed no signs of dwindling. In fact, it seemed that with every day that passed, their numbers kept increasing!
About half a month later, the duo had to face hundreds of puppets at a time. Although it wasn't as easy, they made a good team. Together, they threw their enemies out into the corridor, one after another.
After another five days, Austin realized they'd defeated most of the puppets already. This meant they'd faced thousands of puppets!
What with their opponent's numbers finally dwindling, the duo found it easy to deal with what was left of them.
They picked up the pace. To his delight, Austin saw that they were getting closer and closer to the golden palace at the end of the corridor. He could almost feel the presence of the Magical Polarity Token within it.
"When will these guys learn to stop?" the chaotic sky-devouring beast said in exasperation as he fought off the pesky puppets.
"I hope there won't be any puppets inside the palace."
"I hope so, too," Austin said with a bitter smile.
"If there are, then it'll take us a while before we will find that token."
"We've been fighting for more than half a month." The chaotic sky-devouring beast sighed.
"I'm exhausted, both physically and mentally."
"Come on," Austin encouraged. "Don't give up just yet!"
Together, the two used all their might until they finished off all the puppets. When they saw that no puppet was coming after them anymore, they heaved a sigh of relief. In the end, they had defeated ten thousand puppets.
The puppets that were cast to the side returned to where they had been and stood still. Although they had been attacked by the duo, there was not a single scratch on their bodies, which shocked Austin and the sky-devouring beast.
But they decided not to dwell on it. They had finally reached the end of the corridor. Breathless, they stood in front of the golden palace for a few moments.
The palace was so magnificent, a terrifying aura emanated from its very walls.
It was surrounded by all kinds of laws, which floated around it like multi-colored ribbons.
The palace gates were tightly shut. Despite this, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast could tell that the building had a long, ominous history.
Eyeing the palace cautiously,
Austin said to the chaotic sky-devouring beast, "Let's go inside."
Although he figured there might be traps set in place, he had no intention of backing down. After all, they had come this far. More importantly, the Magical Polarity Token was inside!
"Okay, let's move!"
the chaotic sky-devouring beast replied, following Austin's lead.
Without hesitating any further, Austin reached out to press his palms against the majestic gates.
But before Austin's hand even touched the door, brilliant golden lights burst out from the gates, momentarily blinding the duo. Blinking rapidly, Austin saw a glowing golden figure waltz out of the palace.
It was a tall humanoid creature, almost like a giant. He looked down at Austin and chaotic sky-devouring beast.
After sizing up the duo for a moment, he opened his mouth to speak.
