Austin bent down, and locked eyes with the Divine Son indifferently.
"I came to you because I knew that you are the Divine Son of the Novel Court. I am not afraid of your
title and identity.
So if you're planning to threaten me, save it,"
he spat, stressing every syllable.
"W-Who... Who the hell are you?"
the Divine Son stammered, intimidated by the fearless man in front of him.
"I'm Austin Lin."
Using his spiritual sense, Austin gave his reply.
As he responded, thousands of red strings appeared and engulfed the Divine Son's Soul Sea.
He couldn't resist at all! It came from various directions, making it impossible for him to escape.
"Huh? Wait—What's going on?!
It's impossible. You are dead. You can't be Aus—"
the Divine Son blurted out.
Before he could even finish his sentence, the sword made from Austin's mind power, spiritual sense
and sword aura drove straight into him.
It wrecked huge havoc in his body.
The Divine Son sustained serious injuries, making him spat out mouthfuls of blood from internal
damage.
After he successfully controlled the genuine premium-grade divine gods, Austin knew how to subdue
the masters using the Puppet Strings. The secret was to summon the skill when they were close to
their deaths.
This was why Austin spared his victim no mercy. He wanted him as miserable as possible.
The Divine Son's Soul Sea was encapsulated with numerous red strings. It headed straight to his
spiritual soul.
He already took too many injuries to fight back. His spiritual soul was on the brink of its extinction.
Flustered and scared, he gave furious roars.
"Ha-ha! I'm wondering how the people of the Novel Court would react after knowing that their Divine
Son became my slave."
Amused, Austin raised his eyebrows.
He kept his gaze on the Divine Son, unbothered with his state.
Then, something unexpected happened.
"Who are you? State your name.
How dare you lay a hand on our Divine Son?"
A solemn voice rang out in the Divine Son's Soul Sea.
Golden lights filled its entirety.
The light transformed into a man mysteriously shrouded in golden lights. He was clad in white robes.
He emitted a majestic aura.
The Divine Son's spiritual soul got elated at the sight of this glowing being. It was like his savior had
appeared.
"Sir, I beg you. Please kill this bastard. He intended to enslave me.
I want him dead. Take him out now!"
he shouted.
"I am disappointed at you. As a Divine Son, you should be calm and composed when you run into
problems. But look at you, you're a sniveling pathetic being," the shining entity clad in white robes
commented.
He cast a disappointed look to the Divine Son's spiritual soul.
"N-No... Sir, I can explain.
It's more complicated than you thought.
This arrogant guy is heartless! He doesn't take our force seriously.
Moreover, he is incredibly powerful. The way he fight is weird. He injured the genuine premium-grade
divine god badly in just a single beat. He did it without even making a sound!" the Divine Son frantically
explained.
When he heard what the white-robed man said, he got anxious and scared.
Whether he could become the next leader mainly depended on the current leader's opinions of him.
If the leader of the Novel Court was terribly disappointed at him, he knew that it was impossible for him
to be the next leader.
The Divine Son's frenzied state irritated the Novel Court's leader even more.
"That's enough! Stop making a fool of yourself. Have you no shame? Shut up!"
the leader scolded at him with a scowl.
The Divine Son was too scared to say anything more.
"Seriously? I just taught him a lesson, and here you are,"
Austin blurted out with a sneer.
His voice had a hint of sarcasm.
Despite that, he was on full alert and was ready to fight anyone head on in case they attacked.
After all, the white-robed man was the spiritual avatar of the leader of the Novel Court. He was not
going to take any chances.
Divine Sons meant a lot to the Novel Court.
In order to keep them safe, the leader planted his spiritual avatar in the Soul Sea of each Divine Son.
This way, he could ensure their safety when their lives were at stake.
The leader of the Novel Court was a governing god.
His spiritual avatar had the strength of a semi-governing god.
Technically speaking, his spiritual avatar was stronger compared to any other semi-governing god.
'You damned asshole! Our leader is disappointed at me because of your ruthlessness!
Hah! But no matter, you're doomed now. Our leader will take you out!
Do you regret hurting me now, you loser?'
The Divine Son glared at Austin with much resentment in his eyes. He hated Austin to the core. He was
glad that he could have the opportunity to watch him suffer.
A thought suddenly occurred to him.
"Oh, sir, I almost forgot to tell you that this weakling is—"
Before the Divine Son could even finish his sentence, Austin had already interjected.
"Go to hell!" he screamed. A murderous look could be seen in Austin's eyes as he unleashed the Mind
Sword Skill.
The leader's spiritual avatar noticed that Austin was about to make a move.
"Stop!" The spiritual avatar dashed towards the Divine Son's spiritual soul in an attempt to save him.
However, it was too late.
The sword formed by Austin's mind power was much faster than the leader's spiritual avatar.
Crack!
The sword suddenly appeared inside the Divine Son's spiritual soul and cut him in half.
Then, the sword shook slightly, cutting the spiritual soul into pieces.
In just a matter of seconds, the Divine Son had f perished.
He was almost dead even before Austin unleashed his final blow.
The second Austin used his mind, the sword made from his mind power, spiritual sense and sword
aura pierced inside the Divine Son.
It was impossible for the Divine Son to dodge it. Any attempts to save him at that point was futile.
No one could even come close to save him just in time—not even the leader's spiritual avatar.
The leader's spiritual avatar, of course, was surprised. He was taken aback with how swift everything
took place. When he came back to his senses, the Divine Son had already perished.
"Argh! Damn it! Damn it!"
Rage devoured him as the leader's spiritual avatar watched the Divine Son die.
'Governing gods are truly terrifying.
Even his spiritual avatar is much more powerful than most semi-governing gods.
He could even sense it when I used the Mind Sword Skill, '
Austin thought to himself as he admired the leader's strength.
Since he mastered the Mind Sword Skill, he had never failed to terminate his enemies. Even other
semi-governing gods could not predict his movements.
But the leader's spiritual avatar took note of it the moment he unleashed the Mind Sword Skill.
"Brat, who the hell are you?
How dare you hurt the Novel Court's Divine Son?"
the leader's spiritual avatar asked coldly as he glowered at Austin.
"What's so great about the Divine Son of the Novel Court? I didn't see him eye to eye, so I put him
down.
I heard that there are three Divine Sons. If I cross paths with the other two of them, I'd surely kill them,
too," Austin responded nonchalantly.
He had a defiant smile plastered upon his handsome face.
He was undaunted then, and he still remained fearless even now. Even when he had the pleasure of
seeing the Novel Court's leader back then, he was unfazed.
The white-robed man in front of him was just the leader's spiritual avatar. Although the spiritual avatar
was stronger than most semi-governing gods, Austin felt that he could take him down if things didn't go
awry.
"What an arrogant brat!
You will never have to chance to meet the other two Divine Sons.
I will make you meet your maker today!"
the leader's spiritual avatar said through gritted teeth, full of murderous will.
