"It's all right. You don't have to worry.
I can handle a few governing gods myself,"
Austin said with a faint smile.
"What?
What did you just say? I can't believe what I'm hearing from you, boy."
The Eight Stone Saints were a little surprised that Austin seemed to take this lightly.
"Austin, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?
You're just a semi-governing god right now.
Of course, it would be difficult for you to deal with a governing god, let alone multiple of them at the same time.
There is still a large gap between the strength of a semi-governing god and a governing god. Even you should know that.
Don't be too rash or you might regret it."
The gnome also warned the young man beside him.
"Go away! What are you still doing here?
Mind your own business!"
the face shouted at Austin in an annoyed and smug tone.
"I don't really have enough time to waste with you."
Austin just shook his head and made his move.
With a wave of his hand, a strong gust of the laws of space and time were released, instantly drowning all the members of the face race.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The very next moment, all the faces were forcefully teleported away.
Not a single one of them was left.
Even those ordinary divine gods experienced the same. Although they desperately struggled, their efforts were futile.
In the end, all of the faces disappeared from the wilderness. They were transferred to another area.
Austin had no choice but to do it since he didn't want to hurt them.
This was because he had a very good impression of the face that he had once met in the Sea of Chaos.
That face had helped him at one of the most critical moments before, so he had a feeling that he owed something to their race.
"They're all gone?"
At this moment, only the members of the wood puppet race were left in the wilderness. Because of this, they were all struck dumb and in disbelief of what had just happened.
"Sir, why did you help us?"
one of the wood puppets approached Austin cautiously and asked.
It was just an ordinary divine god, who also happened to be the leader of this group of wood puppets.
With what Austin had done, the wood puppet was completely shocked by his incredible power.
"I actually want to know something about the wood puppet race,"
Austin stared at the wood puppet and answered straightforwardly.
"You want to know something from us?"
Hearing this, the wood puppet immediately became alert.
The wood puppet race was indeed very mysterious.
In particular, they had an extremely abnormal recovery ability and huge vitality, which were very rare characteristics.
Therefore, many p
smiled bitterly.
From this point, he just ignored the mind power attacks from the wood puppets and kept activating the Puppet Strings to subdue and enslave his opponents.
The red puppet strings tightly entangled the spiritual souls of the wood puppets, piercing deep within them.
"Argh!"
As they experienced searing pain, the wood puppets screamed and continued to struggle desperately.
At the same time, they continued to strike back and exerted their mind power attacks towards Austin.
For a brief moment, the two sides were in a stalemate.
Then, all of a sudden, something unexpected happened.
Boom!
The spiritual soul of one of the wood puppets exploded on the spot and turned into wisps of cyan smoke.
"Everyone, follow his lead and self-destruct!"
a wood puppet shouted and ordered the others.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the wood puppets exploded one after another.
After blasting off their own spiritual souls, their remains became feeble and their eyes turned dull.
"What? They would rather die than be enslaved? I can't believe that they just committed suicide!"
Austin was stunned at the scene that he witnessed.
He didn't mean to kill these wood puppets because he knew that they could be of some use for him.
"Oh well, what's done is done."
Upon seeing this, Austin had no other choice but to give up.
He took back all of the puppet strings and saw that no one among the wood puppets remained.
"Austin, these wood puppets are only dead for the time being.
They can still come back to life once they are taken to their maternal tree.
Therefore, they can't be really considered as dead already.
They still have the chance to be reborn,"
the gnome informed.
"Really?"
Austin was utterly surprised.
