The Supreme God

The top-ranking figures of the four major forces of the Sword Cosmos, watched the battle that took place in the Blade Cosmos' army's headquarters.

Austin's impressive display of raw power sent a rush of unease through them all.

He battled with dozens of governing gods of the Blade Cosmos, and had even managed to gain the upper hand on them.

The battle had put them all in a deep silence, filled with equal parts of fear and contemplation.

They hated to admit it,

but they knew that Austin was now stronger than they were.

They were overtaken by frustration, perturbed by the predicament this put them in.

'None of the governing gods in our forces are capable of facing off against him in a one-on-one battle now.

He's become something else, the most powerful cultivator in the Sword Cosmos it seems,' the core members of the four major forces thought. They felt defeated already.

In the Thousand Sword World, the high-ranking figures of the Blade Cosmos' army had ferocious glares cemented on their faces.

"What should we do? Do we call our men back and send for reinforcements?"

one of the governing gods asked with a deep, concerned frown.

This was the most humiliating day they had ever experienced. The entire army sneered, upset and with their pride shattered and ripped from them.

They had all been stuck in a state of gloom and dejection since Austin had taken off. The more they thought about what they went through, the angrier they became.

"Not yet.

Let's first correspond with the four major forces of the Sword Cosmos and see if perhaps we can finish Austin off together.

It's not just the Sword Cosmos we're trying to take, there are several other supreme universes we have targeted as well.

Right now, we should avoid calling for backup, for as long as we can.

Not until we are completely out of options and all hope is lost to us.

We should handle Austin on our own for now.

If we still can't get rid of him in the end, we'll have to retreat and report back to Supreme Grandmaster Donovan.

I believe he at least will be able to take Austin out," the elder revealed slowly.

He had considered their situation quite calculatedly.

He was the commander of the Blade Cosmos' army in the Sword Cosmos; stronger than the other governing gods present, and outranking them too.
