While traveling towards the Ice Palace, the troops of the alliance led by Austin didn't encounter any large armies again.
Then, another two days had passed.
"Leader, we're almost there," the Ice Queen informed Austin through her spiritual sense.
She sounded very excited, knowing that she was finally coming back to this place.
After all, she was the leader of the Ice Palace. She had spent a lot of energy, resource, and time just to keep everything in its proper place.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that nothing was more important to her than the Ice Palace.
However, that most important thing had been forcefully taken from her by the Beast City.
Nothing would make her happier than knowing that she could finally go back and reclaim what was rightfully hers.
Thus, she was looking forward to this moment and couldn't wait for their victory.
"Don't worry too much. We'll definitely take the Ice Palace back."
Austin knew that the Ice Queen would be a little anxious about reclaiming the Ice Palace, so he firmly reassured her.
"I know.
Since you came here in person, getting it back wouldn't be a problem," the Ice Queen replied with a faint smile.
Not long ago, she witnessed how Austin fought the semi-governing god from the Annihilation Mountain.
Seeing Austin's incredible strength, she believed in what more he could do.
"Ha-ha! I actually don't need to join the battle this time..."
Austin said.
'I have over twenty thousand divine god slaves that would heed my every command.
Even the alliance alone consists of tens of thousands of powerful divine gods.
I heard that the beast race only had a single army stationed in the Ice Palace.
Regaining control of it is going to be a mere child's play, ' he thought to himself.
"Master, we can already see the Ice Palace.
There's a large group of people from the beast race patrolling ahead of us.
What are your orders?"
one of Austin's divine god slaves reported as he scouted the area.
"Break into the Ice Palace straight away. There's no need for any sneak attacks."
Without any hesitation, Austin gave the signal to his men to launch the attack on the Ice Palace.
As soon as he issued his order, divine gods rushed out of the warships.
They crowded the space in an instant.
The people of the beast race who were patrolling the area were all taken aback when they saw a huge army coming their way.
"Who the hell are you?!
This is the territory of the Beast City.
No one is allowed to get past this point without permission!
If you don't stop right now, you will be declared as enemies of the Beast City!" a genuine preliminary-grade divine god from the beast race shouted, sternly warning the approaching army.
"Shut the hell up! You speak too much!"
One of Austin's genuine premium-grade divine god hit him from the distance.
Failing to dodge it, the poor genuine preliminary-grade divine god exploded on the spot. Before he even realized what happened,
sustained during the earlier battle.
Then, Austin swiftly performed the Puppet Strings and turned them into his loyal slaves.
Every divine god easily got turned into his slave. As expected, the genuine premium-grade divine gods put up quite a fight.
However, as they were seriously injured, they couldn't struggle for long, and were eventually, successfully transformed into slaves.
Austin had actually ordered his genuine divine god slaves beforehand to show them no mercy.
This was the only way he could quickly employ the Puppet Strings to cultivators that were as powerful as the genuine premium-grade divine gods.
"Leader, we'll go on ahead and get started on our work here."
The Ice Queen informed Austin that she had to leave to begin the rebuilding process of the Ice Palace and to subdue the other areas as well.
Since the battle caused several damages to the entire place, there was a lot of work to be done.
After all, the Ice Palace was a huge universe community. There were actually trillions of creatures that lived here.
Not long ago, it was forcefully occupied by the Beast City. Along with this, great changes had been implemented.
In each cosmos within the Ice Palace, many forces sided with the Beast City because they wanted to cling on to the one that had greater power.
That was why, with the Ice Queen's return, she planned on eliminating those phony forces first.
Meanwhile, two beautiful girls who would make anyone turn their heads suddenly entered the hall and approached Austin.
"Austin, we sincerely thank you for helping us take back the Ice Palace," the two girls said shyly, wearing faint smiles on their faces.
They were none other than Isis and Winnie.
Finally, they had mustered up the courage to appear before Austin and talk to him.
"Why are you being so formal?
The Ice Palace is a crucial territory of the alliance. Of course, I'll do whatever it takes to reclaim it,"
Austin responded with a bright, charming smile.
