Soon enough, the rest of the beast race caught up with the mermaid
and circled in on her.
She looked around frantically for any possible escape, but found none.
She was terrified, though she was actually a genuine preliminary-grade divine god.
Her strength should not be underestimated.
However, the group of the beast that surrounded her consisted of a few genuine medium-grade divine
gods.
At this point, she was as weak as an ant and
stood no chance against them.
"Ha-ha! Dumb bitch, you can't outrun us.
Surrender now and we'll probably let you live."
The members of the beast race mocked and spat at her in roaring confidence.
"This... this is interesting. She is a mermaid.
Never in my whole life had I expected that I would actually catch a mermaid someday!" one of them
pointed out.
"Ha-ha! Good.
They seem to be as enchanting as they were said to be. Just look at her..." Another member grinned
maliciously.
The people of the beast race took a good look at her, desire pooling within their eyes.
"Well, cut the crap. Let's take her first!
After that, you can do whatever you want with her,"
Lawrence interrupted them.
"You... All of you! Stay away from me!" the mermaid shrieked in fear.
Her hands trembled and her eyes watered from fright.
All of a sudden, a lazy voice echoed out.
"Wow! I am impressed. Look at you guys; bullying
a weak woman?"
"Who the hell are you?" The members turned around to find where the voice came from. "Who are
you?!"
Eventually, their eyes fell on a young man.
He walked up to them so casually, harmless smile across his face.
It was none other than Austin.
"It's you!
You nobody!"
Lawrence shouted as he pointed a finger at him.
Of course he recognized Austin immediately. The man left a lasting impression on him even before.
"Wait!
Isn't he a mere ordinary preliminary-grade divine god? !"
the other group asked each other, seeming to have forgotten Austin already.
After all, to them, he was only Wilfred's sad, weak slave.
Genuine divine gods paid no attention to slaves, which was most probably why they couldn't recognize
Austin.
"Ha-ha! Such a weakling has the balls to talk to us that way.
Kid, you're digging your own grave."
The genuine divine gods of the beast race chuckled amongst themselves.
"You ...
You are an ordinary preliminary-grade divine god from the human race?"
At the sight of Austin, the mermaid was relieved and overjoyed.
Her eyes shimmered with hope, as if Austin were her saving grace.
However, once she caught sight of Austin's cultivation base, she grew disappointed once again.
Her high and mighty savior turned out to be just an ordinary preliminary-grade divine god.
She couldn't help but smile bitterly at herself at this realization; she could take out ordinary preliminary-
grade divine god without even breaking a sweat.
Her hope in Austin was gone as quickly as it appeared.
'It looks like I'm finished off, '
the mermaid thought to herself as she sighed in despair.
"Do you have any idea what you are doing?
As a slave of our race, you've turned your back against us and even insulted us.
Today is the day you are eliminated,"
Lawrence hissed in a cold tone.
He had always wanted to kill Austin, but never had the chance to.
Now, he had the opportunity right in front of him, and he was not going to waste it.
"Do you think you can even lay a hand on me?
You give yourself way too much credit.
I'll just cut to the damn chase," Austin spoke out and held out a hand to reveal an empty palm.
"I am here for the Illusionary Token.
I already know you have acquired two tokens with you so
just hand them over.
It's easier this way. Do what I say and I will walk away and leave you all unharmed.
Otherwise, don't expect to ever get out of this place alive,"
Austin said with a smirk as he pointed at a genuine divine god.
The one he pointed was a genuine medium-grade divine god. Upon hearing this, he grew defensive
and confused.
"What are you saying? !"
he asked, staring blankly at Austin.
He couldn't believe what just came out of Austin's mouth.
'How could an ordinary preliminary-grade divine god have the guts to talk to me in such manner?' he
wondered.
He even blinked a couple times in shock as he suspected he could have heard it wrong.
Meanwhile, the other creatures, including the mermaid, also exchanged looks of confusion and shock.
'How could this kid speak that way to a genuine medium-grade divine god?' they wondered.
"Hello? Did I hear it wrong or
is this guy actually threatening us?" a member asked and looked around.
"Him? This is ridiculous."
The members of the beast race burst into gut-wrenching laughter. Some even clenched their stomachs.
'I don't think he's got his head on right, '
the mermaid thought to herself, more disappointed than ever.
'Okay, there's no way this guy is going to save me. I think he has mental issues.' She sighed again.
"Don't even test me.
Hand me the tokens. Now.
If not, I will not hesitate to make a move,"
Austin urged as the corners of his lips curled up into a smug grin.
"Damn it! Kid, stop bluffing.
Come on and show me what you've got!"
The genuine medium-grade divine god tested him, not believing in anything that came out of his mouth.
"Alright, if you say so."
Austin shrugged his shoulders.
As soon as he finished speaking, everything around them began to violently shake.
Like rapid flowing rivers, the illusions moved towards the angry genuine medium-grade divine god with
full force.
"Fuck off!
Leave me alone!"
Not expecting Austin's power, the divine god was trapped in countless illusions.
Austin teleported to his side.
The genuine divine god was preoccupied with the illusions that swarmed him. Plus, Austin was
extremely quick. Hence, he didn't notice that Austin was right in front of him.
"You are dead meat!"
Just then, Austin raised a hand and unleashed the Overlapping Law Skill to fuse along with the two
original chaotic laws directed at the genuine divine god.
At the same time, thousands of red strings emerged and shot towards the genuine divine god's head.
Since his spiritual sense force had increased a lot, the power of the Puppet Strings skill Austin
unleashed proved to be at least a thousand times stronger than it ever was.
That genuine medium-grade divine god staggered backwards. He feared Austin's potent attacks.
All of a sudden, Austin released the star power and aimed it towards the genuine medium-grade divine
god.
The genuine divine god shrieked and bolted in a panic.
"Argh!
Go away!
Leave me alone! Son of a bitch!" he pleaded as he flailed around.
Austin's power was the last thing he expected from an ordinary preliminary-grade divine god.
'This makes no sense! How could he be so powerful?' the genuine medium-grade divine god
wondered.
He could not wonder for long as he grew more and more overwhelmed with his situation.
He feared that he could die at this very moment, at Austin's hands.
'I cannot believe he can take my life... This is unbelievable.' The genuine divine god sighed in agony.
Everything occurred one after the other, with Austin's strikes getting more mysterious and fatal as they
progressed.
"Ah..."
the genuine divine god shrieked out in pain.
Puff!
In an instant, Austin left a dozen holes across his body and
made his arms explode like dynamite.
Then, a huge hole developed in his abdomen.
Austin took away all his properties.
This included no other than the Illusionary Tokens he asked for in the beginning.
No one saw this coming, nor
did they expect Austin's remarkable power
and speed.
He went beyond what they'd expected of him and this was what frightened them the most.
It took Austin injuring a genuine medium-grade divine god for the members of the beast race to realize
exactly what they were up against.
