Soon enough, the governing gods of the Fiend Cosmos had reappeared again.
Austin had no intention of taking their lives.
His intention was to subdue them. Currently, there were three supreme universes under his control. If
he conquered the Fiend Cosmos, it would become four. They would be a fine addition to his flourishing
influence.
"What? Don't tell me that you guys are still trying to fight back?"
Austin asked listlessly as he glanced at the obstinate governing gods of the Fiend Cosmos.
The governing gods of the Fiend Cosmos exchanged glances, and then one of them drew closer to
Austin.
"There's no need to fight anymore. We are no match for you. What do you want from us? Just tell us,"
he said.
"Surrender to me. I will rule the Fiend Cosmos."
Austin clasped his hands behind his back and gave their representative a straightforward answer.
Of course, the governing gods of the Fiend Cosmos found his response unsurprising―they already
had a hunch that he would demand control.
Apart from it, they were also wise enough to know that if they did not surrender, Austin would still take
charge of the Fiend Cosmos once he got rid of them. Naturally, it would be sensible to choose the
lesser evil.
"Fine, we yield," one them answered.
"But we hope that you would be kind and merciful to the creatures of the Fiend Cosmos," the governing
god continued after he looked at his companions.
This meant that the Fiend Cosmos would be under Austin's control from now on.
"Don't worry. You still take charge of everything in the Fiend Cosmos. I will not show up unless
necessary.
But when I give you an order, you must follow it,"
Austin stated.
"No problem."
The governing gods of the Fiend Cosmos immediately agreed to this wonderful proposition.
This would be beneficial for them. They would still be the ones in charge of the Fiend Cosmos. This
way, no one in their cosmos would get hurt.
"Master Austin's power knows no bounds. In just a short period of time, he had already conquered the
Fiend Cosmos!"
Watching Austin skillfully take over the cosmos firsthand made them even more in awe of his
exceptional nature. His power was barely just a scratch of his true capability. They found out that he
was more than a mighty cultivator―he was wise, steadfast, and merciful. He was different from the
other rulers they had ever met. He was not ruled by greed or blinded by control.
"You can go back to the Blade Cosmos with your men. The war in the Fiend Cosmos is over.
You don't have to invade other places from now on,"
Austin ordered after he turned around to the governing gods of the Blade Cosmos.
"Yes, sir,"
they immediately answered.
Over the years, Donovan had sent a lot of creatures of the Blade Cosmos to invade other universes.
His subordinates eventually got tired of the endless battle and bloodshed over time. But now, with
Austin's new leadership, they did not have to subject themselves into excessive carnage. Hence, upon
learning Austin's mandate, they felt at ease.
Without any hesitation, the governing gods of the Blade Cosmos headed back to their territory along
with their army.
"Take me to the entrance of the Fiend Cosmos,"
Austin requested to its governing gods.
"Master Austin, the gateway to our cosmos has been closed.
We can't open it no matter how hard we try,"
one of the governing gods of the Fiend Cosmos explained.
"It's okay. This doesn't surprise me. I'd still want to go there,"
Austin insisted.
For some unknown reason, access to almost all supreme universes had been shut.
Until now, Austin still hadn't figured out the cause.
He and his companions journeyed to the entrance of the Fiend Cosmos.
The last time Austin saw the gateway to the Fiend Cosmos, he simply stood outside, unable to figure
out its mystery.
And now here he was, inside the Fiend Cosmos, studying the gates from the other side. He
smirked―life was indeed full of surprises.
'Why are these entrances to the supreme universes suddenly sealed shut?
Is some formidable figure or mysterious force behind this phenomenon? Or was it caused by some
law?'
As he regarded the Fiend Cosmos' entry, Austin was drowned in his own queries.
"This is not good. Master Austin, we need to get out of here now!
The Hand of Heaven appeared again!"
One of the governing gods panicked, breaking Austin's deep thoughts.
As swift as he had warned him,
a giant hand emerged from the vast skies.
The aura it exuded was extremely terrifying―enough to put anyone to their knees.
The entire cosmos began to quake because of its powerful tremors.
In just a blink of an eye, the Fiend Cosmos was enveloped with immense energy.
"He's right! It's the Hand of Heaven!"
Austin was thunderstruck.
Witnessing this horrifying sight and experiencing the earth-shattering waves of energy made the
creatures that were in the chaotic void to flee. They desperately scampered to the nearest safe world
they could find.
Just like the Hand of Heaven in the Sword Cosmos, this Hand of Heaven also only attacked the
creatures that moved in the chaotic void. It wouldn't harm the ones staying within the worlds or stars.
The governing gods of the Fiend Cosmos were just as scared. They looked skywards, their heart in
their throats, incapacitated with fear.
"Sir, we need to hide somewhere as soon as possible," one of them frenziedly suggested to Austin.
"Go ahead. You guys find a safe place to hide.
I want to meet this Hand of Heaven," Austin replied, his eyes resolutely fixed in the sky.
He watched the enormous hand slowly descending from the depths of the void.
"S-Sir? What did you just say? You want to deal with the Hand of Heaven?
I mean no offense, but I don't think you understand. Governing gods like us are nothing in front of it!"
Hearing Austin's words, the governing gods of the Fiend Cosmos paled in horror.
"It's fine. It's none of your concern, anyway. Just hurry and hide before it's too late," Austin calmly
dismissed.
Austin furrowed his brows and simply waved his subordinates off, his eyes still resting on the Hand of
Heaven.
If there was anything they had learned about their new master, he was a very headstrong individual. As
soon as he had decided on something, it would be difficult to sway him. Hence, the governing gods
gave up. They hurriedly fled to the world closest to their vicinity.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Hand of Heaven was above Austin's head. The terrifying aura it emitted had increased tenfold as it
got closer and closer.
In that exact moment, no creatures was left in the chaotic void of the Fiend Cosmos. It was just Austin,
the Hand of Heaven, and the irrefutable tension and energy between them.
Austin was unperturbed at the face of the gigantic hand. He simple looked at it, waiting for it to
acknowledge his presence.
Finally, the Hand of Heaven took note of him. His behavior was a serious provocation to it.
Boom!
The Hand of Heaven located Austin.
A sense of danger rose in his heart.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire universe shook dramatically due to immense energy.
All the creatures who were nearby were rooted to the spot, unable to speak. The Hand of Heaven was
fearsome beyond imagination!
"What the hell are you?" Austin demanded.
He had his hands behind his back, composed in his stature.
"Are you all over all the supreme universes?
Why did you cast your hand in these places?"
Austin kept asking.
Boom!
The Hand of Heaven suddenly moved as it slowly stretched out towards Austin. It opened its palm, like
a huge net falling from the sky and encapsulating its victim in its fingertips.
Splash!
Law chains fall from the sky like waterfall, sealing the space where Austin stood.
