"Oh, you still dare to talk to me like this with your filthy mouth?
Come on, just give up. You'll never kill me even in your wildest dreams."
Austin burst into laughter, letting out a devilish grin.
At this point, he had finally caught up with Warner.
"There's nowhere you can go now!"
Austin roared as he focused his piercing gaze upon his target.
He then unleashed the Ultimate Mind Sword Skill, the Mind Sword Skill, and the Flying Swordsmanship
simultaneously.
"Damn it! Get the fuck off my back, you annoying bastard!"
Terrified and enraged, Warner waved his black sword to resist the young man's attack.
Clang!
In a flash, the bright flying sword collided with the black sword.
Swoosh!
The impact released a powerful energy wave that shook the void violently.
Splat!
Suddenly, Warner's body was cut in half and his blood splashed all over the place.
"Argh!"
Warner screamed and writhed in agony.
When he was in the Chaotic Abyss where he could take advantage of the great cosmos force, he was
no longer a match for Austin.
And after he got out of there, it was more impossible for him to beat Austin.
"Austin! Just you wait, I'll get you for this!"
At this point, he didn't dare to fight Austin head-on anymore. His body parts were wrapped in space
fragments as he tried to run away as fast as he could.
But of course, there was no way that Austin would let him escape just like that.
Whoosh!
Austin immediately activated the Shadowless Movement and the Reincarnation Token as he chased
after Warner.
At the same time, runes related to speed shrouded Austin's body, making his movements incredibly
fast.
"Come forth!" Austin bellowed.
In an instant, he emitted countless bright sword radiance. Additionally, the secret realms inside him lit
up and released an enormous amount of chaotic energy.
Swish!
The bright flying sword slashed out of Austin's mouth.
Splat!
Coming from Warner's blind spot, it directly cut off his head. Blood gushed out from his neck, throwing
off his head in the sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Immediately after, numerous red strings rushed towards Warner's head.
Like vicious red serpents, the red strings invaded through his Soul Sea and came for his spiritual soul.
"Argh! This again?!" Warner shrieked.
His face was visibly twisting because of intense pain.
The truth was he was just a semi-governing god.
He was far stronger than ordinary semi-governing gods, and he was only slightly weaker than a
governing god.
However, his spiritual sense and spiritual soul were obviously weaker than Austin's.
Austin had already controlled several semi-governing gods before, thus he knew the most effective way
to subdue Warner.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Puppet Strings continued to restrain Warner's spiritual soul and landed on it like blazing red
arrows.
"Leave me alone! What do you want?!"
Warner still struggled desperately and waved his black sword towards Austin.
He started absorbing the great cosmos force around him and refined it so he could readily use it.
However, since he left the abyss, and Emmet wasn't around, his speed of absorbing the great cosmos
force had become rather slow.
Consequently, his fighting power had also started decreasing.
Therefore, his attacks could no longer deal much damage to Austin.
If he paired up with Emmet, even if they were outside the abyss, they could still pose a threat towards
Austin.
However, since he was now alone, he was without a doubt weaker than Austin.
Moreover, only inside the abyss could they utilize a large amount of great cosmos force that could
significantly help them in fighting against their enemies.
Their fighting power would also drastically weaken outside the abyss.
"You're still barking, huh?"
Austin shouted in annoyance.
Boom!
He smashed Warner's broken body with his fist which was still being reconstructed.
"Fuck!"
Warner couldn't help but curse due to the excruciating pain.
At the same time, his spiritual soul was also being devoured by a myriad of red strings.
Since Austin had shattered his body repeatedly, it had cost him a lot of blood essence to recover. As a
result, he was in an extremely weakened state now.
Meanwhile, Emmet had been heavily surrounded by over twenty governing gods from the four major
forces. He was also pretty riled up as he engaged in a fierce fight with his enemies.
Although Emmet was much stronger than Warner, he couldn't just freely strike back because he was
outnumbered.
At the same time,
they could clearly hear the continuous shrilling screams of Warner from afar.
At that moment, the red strings continued to penetrate his spiritual soul one after another, bringing him
tormenting pain that was more agonizing than any physical torture.
Moreover, each string also released mysterious and ominous energy that controlled his spiritual soul
little by little.
This was what scared Warner the most.
He started to feel like his spiritual soul had been hazy.
It was as if he was feeling the sensation that he was about to lose control of himself.
Since he had already seen and experienced a lot of things, he knew that Austin was up to something
nasty that involved manipulating his spiritual soul.
"Hey, brat! What kind of evil skill are you performing?
Stop it right now!
Damn it! Just stop!"
Warner hollered desperately, sensing a bad hunch from what was happening.
However, his scream just fell on deaf ears. After all, Austin wouldn't listen because it was his chance to
subdue Warner completely and turn him into his loyal slave.
He had to admit that Warner was really hard to deal with.
He was just a semi-governing god, but his prowess already rivaled the governing gods.
Therefore, it took him a lot of effort to control Warner compared to the ordinary semi-governing gods.
Though it cost Austin a lot of spiritual energy to turn him into his slave, he didn't mind.
After all, in his Soul Sea, the spiritual tree, the spiritual heart, the spiritual dragon, and the Chaotic Ice
Lotus helped him acquire a tremendous amount of spiritual energy that replenished his spiritual power.
"Argh!"
Warner's suffering continued as his screams echoed throughout the space.
Hearing the agonizing howl of his partner, Emmet was so desperate to come to his aid, but the situation
didn't let him.
He was also in a tight position, and he couldn't afford to lose his focus even for a second.
The moment he got distracted, these governing gods would take advantage of that to instantly kill him.
As their battle continued, the energy waves that were being released turned the battlefield and the
surroundings into a complete mess.
Fortunately, since they were at the eye of the Sword Cosmos, there were no residents nearby.
No creatures had the nerve to ever set foot in this area except for the governing gods.
After a while, Warner stopped screaming.
As if he had somehow regained his sanity, he started bargaining to Austin.
"Austin, stop it...
I can't take it anymore!
Look. There's actually no deep enmity between us.
It doesn't have to go this far.
Listen to me. Everything that's happening is just the plot of the four major forces. They want to pit me
and Emmet to against you so that in the end, they could benefit from it!
If we work together, we can deal with the four major forces and eliminate them once and for all.
As long as we join hands, the Sword Cosmos will be ours! The people of the four major forces would
not dare to mess with us.
Rethink my offer. You know I'm right..." Warner said desperately.
His tone instantly shifted from being arrogant to pleading
He looked at Austin with such friendly eyes.
After all, he knew it would be better to cooperate with his opponent than be killed off.
His only chance to live right now was to convince Austin that they could team up to defeat the
governing gods of the four major forces.
"Ha-ha! Do you think I'm an idiot? Of course, I know that's what they're trying to do.
You don't need to persuade me. After all, you shall become one of my loyal slaves soon enough.
With that, I can grant your wish. You can live and work under me to handle the four major forces,"
Austin said nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Warner was immediately taken aback. "What did you just say? You're going to turn me
into your slave?
How dare you?! That's what this is about!
Argh! Get these freaky strings off me! No! Stop it!"
He roared and struggled with all his remaining strength.
However, at this point, his spiritual soul had been already engulfed by the red strings.
"Be quiet, will you? It's already too late.
Accept your fate and don't worry. I'll give you an important position in my army,"
Austin said, letting out a devious grin.
