"Austin, does it mean that you even took on the fire-disaster beast and the thoroughly-odd beast?"
Peterson asked in astonishment.
He found it hard to believe what Austin had just said. The two ancient beasts were among the top
masters of the gods of darkness, and they were pretty known for their cruelty and terrifying strength.
Even Peterson and Morphy could only push them into a stalemate. However, Austin was saying that he
was sincerely disappointed because they got out of his grasp.
"Yes, I know that I caught them.
But somehow, they managed to escape.
They must have used some unique secret skills.
I was careless!" Austin said with a frown.
"Well, the thoroughly-odd beast and the fire-disaster beast are among the top masters of the gods of
darkness. They couldn't be underestimated.
You're right. They must have gotten away through the use of brilliant secret skills. You shouldn't be too
hard on yourself. Those beasts have gained a lot of experiences since ancient times. It's not unusual
for them to exhibit a trick or two.
Besides, you've already done a good job capturing all of these divine gods.
We'll be sure to extract every useful information from them," Queen Siobhan said as she comforted
Austin.
"By the way, Austin, have you found out what the gods of darkness were really up to?" Frost asked
abruptly.
They only knew that those gods of darkness were up to something, but they had not yet discovered
what exactly their plan was. That was why several scouts were sent to the Yellow Cosmos to uncover
their ploy.
"Yes, we have. As a matter of fact, it is much worse than we expected,"
Austin replied through gritted teeth.
He then filled them in on what had happened and what they discovered near the Yellow Cosmos in
detail.
After hearing Austin's words, the Jade Emperor, Queen Siobhan, and the other gods of light put on a
serious look on their faces. They were speechless for a while, and deep sighs could be heard.
Then, they interrogated the prisoners that were brought by Austin. They paid more attention to the
divine gods because they were likely to be more informed of the plans of the top masters of the gods of
darkness.
"Our hunch is right after all. The gods of darkness are after the evil baby,"
Queen Siobhan said as she slightly bit her lip.
"If that's the case, we must quickly find a way to destroy all the altars around the Yellow Cosmos.
Otherwise, we're all doomed once the evil baby came out in advance,"
the Jade Emperor said with a hint of concern.
"The problem is that we have alerted the gods of darkness. We should expect that they will do
everything they can to fortify their defenses.
Sneak attacks might be impossible now. We have no choice but to confront them head-on, defeat
them, and destroy those altars,"
Frost suggested firmly.
"I agree. Engaging the enemy would be inevitable.
We have to prepare for a fierce battle again,"
the other premium-grade divine gods supported Frost's idea.
"For now, this is the most logical strategy that I can come up with. The top masters among us will be
given the task to distract and engage the premium-grade divine gods of the gods of darkness.
Then, we will form and select some medium-grade and preliminary-grade divine gods who will be
responsible for destroying the altars.
They will be the special operation team," the Jade Emperor proposed.
"That plan is feasible, and it should also be the most direct one.
I actually like it. We haven't been out on the battlefield for a long time. If this continued, our skills might
get rusty," Queen Siobhan remarked with a straight face.
Even she was also raring to go.
Afterwards, the Jade Emperor personally selected the members of the special operation team.
Their task was simple but was the most important. They needed to vanquish the altars around the
Yellow Cosmos after the war between the top masters of both sides broke out.
Austin had been chosen as a member of the special operation team. They needed someone strong
enough to lead the team and ensure that the mission would be carried out without fail.
"Austin, I'm looking forward to your performance again this time. Our fate depends on this operation. I
fully trust in your abilities."
The Jade Emperor tapped Austin's shoulder as a gesture to encourage him.
Everyone, including him, had high hopes towards Austin.
"Yes, sir. I'll do my best,"
Austin declared confidently.
"All right. Is everyone ready?
Let's move out!" the Jade Emperor ordered.
As a very decisive man, he led the group to take action.
With every step that he made, an astonishing amount of energy surged and spread out in the chaotic
void.
All of the creatures that witnessed them pass through couldn't help but shudder at the vicious energy
being emitted.
As the Jade Emperor rushed forward, his body became taller and taller.
His huge and well-built body, along with his thick black hair, exuded a majestic and graceful aura. His
eyes were blazing as if he could see through everything. Everyone who saw him was appalled, and no
one could compare with him in terms of demeanor.
The Jade Emperor had been a legend in the three thousand big and small universes since ancient
times.
He was just born in a small world and had mortal parents.
Then, later in life, he began to cultivate persistently. With his diligence and passion for martial arts, he
finally became a divine god.
Moreover, he was the one who personally established the Heavenly Court, which was a powerful
organization in ancient times.
Until now, there were still numerous members of the Heavenly Court who were loyal to him.
He was indeed a powerful man, full of charisma.
Even Austin couldn't help but feel in awe as he looked at the Jade Emperor.
