The Supreme God

Holding the dazzling precious bead in its entirety, Austin looked at the queen lying between the two shells, carrying the weight of her body.

Austin felt the energy of the bead, emanating and channeling its close bond to the queen. In a little while, the oneness of the two became more evident—the bead belonged to the queen, and the queen belonged to the bead.

Witnessing such a process, Austin felt that he must also take the queen with him if he wanted to take the bead.

If he didn't do so, it would be very difficult to take the bead away. The bead might not even survive without the queen beside it.

With such a strong bond between the two, it would be nearly impossible for the bead to be separated from the queen.

Austin carefully ran his spiritual energy, making it flow toward the queen, yet he could not tell if she was still alive.

The queen lay quietly in a graceful position. With nothing but a thin layer of gauze around her body, she was almost half naked. Her curves were clearly defined along the edges, and her features were faintly yet pleasantly highlighted. A string of intoxicating fragrance wafted from her body constantly. She was indeed a beautiful woman.

"That's it, you are coming with me!"

Austin finally made the decision. He could not resist the temptation of acquiring the bead so he devised ways to take the queen with him as well.

"There's no harm in trying to refine this bead with the power that I already have."

Austin carefully released his power into the bead, hoping that something good would come out of it.
