A loud cheer rose from the crowd as they caught sight of a few powerful masters.
However, even the strongest ones among them were merely semi-governing gods.
Not a single governing god was part of that group, which meant that it was ridiculously under-powered.
Austin was also in the crowd. He scowled at the sight instead of cheering.
'Why are these idiots trying to provoke Ronnie? They are courting death. Those masters can't hope to
stand against him even for a second.'
Austin shook his head.
"Members of the heaven roc race, come out!
Members of the heaven roc race, come out!
Members of the heaven roc race, come out!"
Someone initiated a chant and the crowd followed suit.
Numerous creatures roared in unison. Their loud and powerful chants began rolling into the Heaven
Roc Universe Community from all directions. Very soon, every single member of the audience had
joined and the uproar became more violent than ever.
The entire Heaven Roc Universe Community began shaking violently.
And yet, there was no response from the Heaven Roc Universe Community.
Silence was the response the chants received, and no one came out.
Meanwhile in the Heaven Roc Universe Community,
their patriarch, senior leaders, and various other clansmen were huddled together, ready to fight their
way out if the situation became dire.
They had neither the plans nor the courage to fight the incalculable number of creatures outside head-
on.
In the Roc Cosmos, Humphrey had remained silent.
The patriarch had sent messages to the Roc Cosmos several times but had received no response. It
was clear that they were on their own.
"All right everyone. This is it... Get ready.
Once those creatures get in here, we must escape immediately!"
The patriarch sent a secret message to his clansmen.
"The heaven roc race does not have the courage to face us today! Let's force our way in.
We are going to get an explanation from them no matter what!"
"Right! Let's get inside and destroy the Heaven Roc Universe Community!"
Finally, the creatures surrounding the Heaven Roc Universe Community began getting impatient.
"Charge!"
A tide of countless creatures rushed towards the Heaven Roc Universe Community and barged in like
a storm.
Austin also rushed in with the crowd.
"What?
What the hell's going on?"
The crowd stopped abruptly as they entered the Heaven Roc Universe Community. Not a single living
being was visible inside.
"It looks like the heaven roc race has hidden themselves!"
"Ha-ha, they are afraid of us!"
"Find them! Seek them out!"
The creatures who had rushed in found it funny that their target was afraid of them.
The members of the heaven roc race, on the other hand, were hiding in one of their universes under
the orders of their patriarch.
Originally, various other races had also resided in the Heaven Roc Universe Community.
However, as soon as the Heaven Roc Universe Community was targeted, everyone else had fled. No
one had found the courage to stay.
Therefore, only members of the heaven roc race were left in the Heaven Roc Universe Community
now.
"Over there!
I found them. They're hiding in that universe.
Get them!"
Suddenly, a master sensed traces of the heaven roc race and rushed towards a universe, crying
triumphantly to his peers.
"That's strange."
Austin, however, was looking in another direction.
His eyes had landed on a high-grade universe, which was supposed to be the best one in the Heaven
Roc Universe Community.
However, a faint but powerful evil aura was emanating from that universe.
Only people with highly powerful spiritual sense forces like Austin could sense the aura.
"Ronnie must be in that universe.
What a terrible aura! He is indeed much stronger than before.
I can't tell how strong he has grown since we last met.
But I know that I'm no match for him now."
Austin felt a slight hint of fear as he looked at that universe.
At the same time, he noticed that more than a dozen other creatures were also looking at that universe
with serious expressions on their faces.
"It looks like they have also found Ronnie's hiding spot.
There's no need to ask or sense them. They must be governing gods.
In fact, they must be avatars of governing gods."
Austin kept his countenance and quietly glanced at the others who were looking at that universe.
Almost at the same time, those creatures also looked at Austin.
While this was happening,
everyone else had surrounded the universe where the heaven roc race was hiding.
Inside, the patriarch was preparing his clansmen to flee.
"It's time!
We must leave the Heaven Roc Universe Community right now!"
he announced loudly, gritting his teeth.
"Fortunately, our ancestors left behind a powerful ancient array in this universe that can teleport us out
of the Heaven Roc Universe Community.
However, we must be quick.
They are going to find us and chase after us.
Therefore, once we get out of here, we must scatter.
Our priority is surviving this disaster. Once their anger quiets down and they forget about us, we will
find a way to gather and rebuild our race,"
the patriarch told every member of the race.
His clansmen were now ready to use the teleportation array and about to escape from the Heaven Roc
Universe Community.
"Let's destroy this universe together!"
Outside, the creatures were about to destroy the universe completely.
With so many of them attacking together, they could easily smash it into pieces.
And then suddenly,
their plans were waylaid.
"Shut up, all of you!"
A faint voice rose from the Roc Cosmos.
Although the voice was faint, it contained a terrible law power which drowned the voice of every single
creature in the Heaven Roc Universe Community.
A powerful pressure then spread out of the Roc Cosmos and covered them in an instant.
It was a chilling and fearsome pressure, which made everyone feel like they had fallen into an ice
cellar.
"Kneel! Kneel in front of me right now.
I, Humphrey, am your master from now.
You will be my slaves and work for me.
This is a great honor for you,"
the voice continued.
As the creatures watched in horror, an old man slowly walked out of the Roc Cosmos. His hands were
put behind his back and his black robes gave him the grace of an ageless master.
He seemed full of magic.
The space around him was slightly distorted, and even light wouldn't follow a straight path near him. It
was as if the very concepts of time, space, and energy wanted to escape from him.
As soon as someone's eyes landed on him, they would feel their hearts tremble and then an
involuntary impulse would spread through their bodies. They would feel an urge to kneel and surrender.
The very presence of the old man had scared the onlookers.
They wanted to surrender to him.
