"What the—
Damn these bastards! What are you waiting for? Arrest him! Now!" Lucien bellowed at his
subordinates.
"Ha! Don't waste your time.
None of them would listen to any word you say.
From now on, they will all be obeying my orders alone," Austin scoffed and teased.
"W-what?! No way!"
Lucien got so bent out of shape.
"Hush now, my dear prince. You don't have to worry about them.
Besides, just like them, you're also going to obey me real soon," Austin added as he sneered.
"What?! How?!
Did they betray me? What are you saying? What are you going to do?!"
Lucien staggered for a while. When he realized he needed to hurry and do something, he took out a
jade slip and was about to send his father a message to tell him about the situation.
Seeing this, Austin immediately activated the Secret Reincarnation Skill.
A powerful law of space and time suddenly appeared and instantly transferred the space surrounding
them to a whole other place.
That very second, Austin, Lucien, and all his subordinates—even the servants and the bed—all
resurfaced in a strange continent.
They were at the continent Austin had created back then.
Here, he was the only master.
All the things, materials, energy, and laws on this large chunk of land were under his control.
"W-what is this place? Why the hell did you bring me here?
What are you going to do?!"
As Lucien looked around the strange landmass, he couldn't keep himself from panicking.
Meanwhile, Violet, Alisa, and the old man rushed over to help the maid who had been seriously beaten
up by Lucien. They then brought out magic herbs to heal her wounds.
"It's so nice to see you again, sisters!"
Alisa couldn't hide her excitement.
Apparently, Lucien had turned at least a dozen creatures from the nine-tailed demon fox race into his
maids.
"Oh, Alisa! It's you!"
The maids were overjoyed the moment they recognized Alisa.
"You don't have to be afraid, sisters.
We're here to save you," Violet assured in a gentle tone.
"Don't worry, everyone! This is Princess Violet."
Alisa hurried to introduce Violet to those foxes.
Before long, Violet and the others got familiar with each other.
After all, these foxes were her sisters by blood. It was only natural that they would feel warm and
familiar with each other straight away.
"You! C-come to your senses! Do s-something! Help m-me!"
This scene left Lucien in total panic. He struggled to get a clear word out of his mouth.
His men, however, merely stood still and took no notice of him.
Since the maidservants were relieved of their fears and worries, they gathered with their clansmen and
enjoyed their reunion.
This merriment had put Lucien on edge and sparked despicable fury in him, as though they were trying
to mock him. Later, a dozen coquettish women clad in raunchy clothing jumped out of the bed and
asked him, "My prince, what happened?"
When these women saw what the girls from the nine-tailed demon fox race were doing, they became
angry as well. They scolded, "Bitches! What do you think you're doing? Are you trying to rebel against
your prince?!"
Pak! Pak! Pak!
All of a sudden, nine tails from Violet's back stretched out and flung these women away from him like
lightning.
"How dare you!
Ha! Just wait until my father finds out about this! You're all going to be dead meat!" Lucien roared as he
clenched the jade slip trying to crush it and reach his father.
Thud!
Just before he finished grumbling, a beam of sword-light flashed over him.
The jade slip he was holding in his right hand got deftly turned into dust as his hand also got cut off on
the spot.
Whoosh! Swish!
Before anyone could even get wind of what was happening, a myriad of red strings flew across the air.
The strings shot at Lucien, pierced through him, and attacked his defenseless Soul Sea.
He was merely a genuine preliminary-grade divine god. Facing so many puppet strings, he broke out in
a cold sweat since he didn't know how to deal with them.
"Who's trying to hurt my son?
My, my. Aren't you so bold?!" a voice roared from Lucien's Soul Sea.
From it, a fat man garbed in a royal robe appeared.
Despite being a spiritual avatar, the fat man with his hands on his hips looked proud and majestic.
"Father! Help me!"
His father's appearance was truly a pleasant surprise, so Lucien couldn't help but cry out like a baby.
"Oh, look. Isn't that sweet, Lucien? Your father came to your rescue.
Humph! You didn't have to come. You're just a genuine premium-grade divine god. Even if your real
body comes here, we'd just be wasting both of our time.
After all, you won't be able to resist my strings, let alone just a spiritual avatar of yours!" Austin
sneered.
Puff!
With a flash of sword-light, the arrogant fat man got crushed right on the spot.
Not a moment later, Austin's skill came into effect.
"Master!"
Lucien immediately bowed and called his master and expressed his obedience and submission.
"Good. Now, go back and gather all the foxes in this world.
Bring them to your father's palace and wait for me there," Austin instructed.
"Understood.
Don't worry, master.
I will do my best," Lucien replied.
"Of course, you will."
Austin nodded and chuckled in satisfaction.
Without further ado, he sent Lucien and all his men back to the outside space.
Lucien then went ahead and took a group of people with him to carry out his first assignment as
Austin's new slave.
Meanwhile, Austin, Violet, and the others swaggered around in the Genuine Snake World.
Whenever they encountered divine gods, especially those from the demon snake race, Austin just
effortlessly used the secret skill of the Puppet Strings to turn them into his slaves.
This skill apparently would work in a breeze if used on weak ordinary divine gods.
However, if Austin managed to come into contact with relatively stronger genuine divine gods along the
way, he would just use his Mind Sword Skill first to hurt them badly before the Puppet Strings could
work on them.
His strength was too daunting that no divine god from the demon snake race could escape from him.
What was interesting about them was the fact that they were all leaders of all levels of the demon
snake race, yet Austin just played with them.
As he turned more and more of them into his slaves, Austin was inevitably gaining terrifying strength
that could enable him to control this world.
There was no stopping him.
Under his command, the divine gods of the demon snake race gathered their subordinates and
followed Austin as they headed towards the palace of the chief of this world
"Princess Violet, who the hell is this young man? How is he this dreadfully powerful?!"
The old man, Alisa, and the other girls of the nine-tailed demon fox race who had just been rescued
were all left in a state of shock after seeing Austin's strange and terrifying skills.
They thought, what was happening in front of them was too unreal and inconceivable.
Of course, they were in total disbelief.
"Ha-ha!
He's so awesome, isn't he?
That man is my master!" Violet proclaimed proudly.
"You seriously have no idea.
Let me tell you, my master has more advanced and amazing skills he still hasn't shown yet!" Violet
added in the same frenzied tone.
"Wait. Did you just call him master?
Why would you call him that?
Are you also in his clutches, just like those snakes?"
Hearing how Violet talked about Austin, the old man staggered. He couldn't believe that their princess
could even say such things blithely.
"Princess Violet, you are the princess of the nine-tailed demon fox race. You have a noble status.
How can you regard others as your master? Is your spiritual soul being controlled by him?
Please wake up, Princess Violet!
Don't let him rule over you!" the old man added secretly.
"Elder, don't get me wrong. It's really not what you think.
I can assure you that he didn't control my spiritual soul at all.
He actually treats me very well, if that's what you're worried about.
Besides, no matter who I am, noble or humble, I will consider him my master all my life.
Nothing will ever change.
So please, elder. I would appreciate it if you could let go of your suspicions about him," Violet
elaborated.
'Humph! I still don't buy it. I'm pretty sure that this young man had Princess Violet's spiritual soul under
control. I guess that's why she can't think rationally. She really doesn't have any idea what she's doing.
Well, at least I can take advantage of this guy first.
I'll let him rescue the other members of the nine-tailed demon fox race, and then we can deal with him
together. We'll just have to save Princess Violet from him when we get the chance.'
The old man made up his mind.
Austin, meanwhile, had no idea that the elder was quite suspicious of him.
A few moments later, he arrived at the gate of the governor of this world with a bunch of divine gods
from the demon snake race.
