"Austin, be honest with me. What realm are your real strength equivalent to right now?"
Asa asked with a straight face.
"Well, it's kind of hard to say.
Maybe something like half a governing god, but not quite yet.
But I do have some attainments in the laws of time and space that should be above the levels of some
governing gods,"
Austin replied with a faint smile. The truth was Austin's strength was really complicated. So even if
asked straightforwardly, he couldn't give a direct answer.
"Half of a governing god?
That's impossible. From what I've seen, you should be at least as powerful as a governing god!"
Conor said, strongly disagreeing with what he heard from Austin.
"Ha-ha. Don't make a big deal out of it. If ever they make trouble again, just let me handle them,"
Austin said casually.
"What? I don't want to just stand idly! We are friends.
We should be fighting together!"
Asa replied with a strong conviction as he waved the stone stick in his hand.
At the same time, in the distant void, a dozen genuine premium-grade divine gods of the face race
were discussing by themselves.
"Who the hell is that young man? His power is too terrifying!
With only a wave of his hand, we were all controlled and thrown off to such a far distance.
I haven't seen anyone with such a strong fighting power given his young age.
Anyway, with our strength, we don't have any way of dealing with him.
I guess we just have to go back to the ancestral land and report to our leaders."
After discussing, they finally made up their minds.
"Let's go!
We're going back to the ancestral land!"
Then, these genuine premium-grade divine gods led their troops back to their ancestral land.
"Austin, take a look at those incoming troops of the wood puppet race. I think they must be looking for
you,"
Asa quickly warned Austin as he saw a group of the wood puppet race in the distance.
As Asa said, an army came in and marched towards them aggressively.
This dense volume of soldiers ran fast in the void, making the entire space tremble as if there was a
violent earthquake going on.
Although the members of the wood puppet race were short in size, each of them was born possessing
such massive strength.
Wherever they passed, a bluish green fog appeared that instantly sealed the surrounding space.
It could be clearly seen, even from the distance, that the masters of the wood puppet race had released
an energy law.
"Hmm, this is strange. The previous troop was instantly caught by Austin. They should have no time to
send a message to their comrades.
How were they able to get the message from their companions?"
Conor asked as he furrowed his brows.
"Don't forget that the wood puppet race has an amazing mind power.
It could not be detected, so even if I catch them, I won't notice if they have transmitted the information
through their minds.
After all, the mind power is a very mysterious energy, which is certainly hard to guard against,"
Austin made his prediction to explain the situation.
While they were still conversing, the army of the wood puppet race arrived and stopped in front of
them.
"I know the Eight Stone Saints and the gnome.
But who is this guy? Why did he attack our people?
If I were you, I would confess already!
Where are our people now?"
An aggressive master of the wood puppet race walked up to Austin and asked in a haughty tone.
It seemed that he was a genuine premium-grade divine god.
In this troop that confronted them, there was more than a dozen genuine premium-grade divine gods.
"Fine. Here they are!"
Austin suddenly teleported all the members of the wood puppet race out of his body.
However, most of them had self-destructed, only leaving their lifeless bodies.
On the other hand, those who were still alive were completely sealed by Austin and couldn't move an
inch.
"Sir, help us!
This guy killed several of our members!
You shouldn't let him go!"
the wood puppets whose power was sealed screamed at the top of their lungs.
"Brat! Do you know what you've done? You deserve to die right here right now!
Slaughter this imbecile!"
The leader of the troop fumed in anger as he saw the condition of the members of the wood puppet
race in the hands of Austin.
"Come on! Kill him!"
Immediately after, the troop behind the leader launched a vicious attack.
Each of the weapons they carried was massive and dreadful.
As they dashed towards Austin, they seemed like a surging tide that shook the surrounding space.
It was a frightening yet fascinating scene.
Moreover, these warriors also activated their mind power at once.
This was their specialty, thus they used this to ensure that they could bring down their enemies.
Countless fierce attacks were aimed at Austin, the Eight Stone Saints, and the gnome all at the same
time.
Even at Austin's current strength, he wasn't able to dodge and resist the attack of their mind power in
advance.
The Eight Stone Saints and the gnome also received the impact of the mind power attack, and their
faces instantly turned pale due to the intense pain.
Only Austin didn't feel anything. Even if he wasn't able to dodge, these attacks were just like mosquito
bites.
After all, their mind power was far too inferior to Austin's.
"You damned bastards, eat this!"
Asa roared in exasperation.
The stone stick in his hand continued to enlarge, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge
mountain that rushed towards the troop of the wood puppet race.
Boom! Boom!
Rumbling sounds of stones colliding with wood could be heard all over the place, and countless
warriors from the opposing force were sent flying.
Their bodies were also shattered into pieces due to the impact of Asa's strike.
However, the physical recovery ability of the wood puppet race was indeed astounding. Even if their
bodies were completely smashed to pieces, they were able to reconstruct their bodies without much
effort.
Seeing this, the other stone saints also got irritated. They waved their stone sticks in their hands and
rushed forward. Every time they launched a strike, a large number of warriors from the wood puppet
race were blown away.
"Well, we don't have to fight with them like this. It's just a waste of time."
Austin was at a loss for words as the Eight Stone Saints went all out.
The troop of the wood puppet race was too weak for them.
However, the Eight Stone Saints were as bellicose as ever.
"Seal!"
Austin suddenly shouted.
Then, in a flash, all sorts of laws were constantly released from Austin's body and pervaded the space.
He used the laws of space, time, reincarnation, causality, wood, snow, metal, water, and many more.
With this, the space had been under Austin's control in just mere seconds.
All the laws and energies in the surroundings were already mastered by him.
Soon enough, every member of the wood puppet race found themselves unable to move.
Even the genuine premium-grade divine gods suffered the same.
"Stop struggling. You'll just waste your energy.
Now, be obedient and just take me to your maternal tree,"
Austin said in a flat tone.
Every member of the wood puppet race was born from a single colossal tree.
And this was what they called the maternal tree.
In Austin's line of thought, if he wanted to know more about the mind power of this race, he should start
with the maternal tree. Maybe he could find something from it since it was the main source of their
race.
"What did you just say? You want to see our maternal tree?!
Why the hell would we agree to that?
You're out of your mind, brat!
The maternal tree is sacred and inviolable! An outsider like you has no business with it!"
The members of the wood puppet race were all enraged upon hearing Austin's outrageous
demand.
