The Supreme God

"Sir, I would be honored to be your disciple!"

Austin said and bowed to the old man respectfully.

He had developed a strong admiration for the master who had set up the arrays around the ancestral temple.

Now that the creator of the arrays was right in front of him, how could he pass up the chance to train under his tutelage?

Although Austin's cultivation base in arrays was already strong, further improvement was never a bad thing.

Who knows? He may even get good enough to be able to fight against a master at the level of the gods of chaos.

The old man nodded sagely.

"Good. From here on out, you are officially my disciple.

Come with me.

In the following days, I will impart my knowledge to you,"

he told Austin.

The old man then turned to the sixteen gods of chaos.

"As for you... Since Austin is my disciple now, you are no longer to treat him as an enemy.

From now on, you must regard him as your master and follow him.

Is that understood?"

The sixteen gods of chaos from the Array Cosmos frowned and shifted uncomfortably.

The supreme grandmaster's words came like a slap to the face.

How could he possibly expect them to treat their erstwhile enemy as their master? It was too much!

"What?

You dare defy me?"

The old man's face darkened as he noted the sullen silence.

As he glowered, terrifying arrays suddenly appeared around the sixteen gods of chaos, releasing energy as powerful as several volcanoes erupting together.

The energy hit the sixteen gods of chaos like a tidal wave. They turned pale.

It dawned on them at that moment just how much stronger than them this supreme grandmaster was.

He may even be powerful enough to kill them with just one thought.
