The governing gods of the demon race were flustered. They looked at Austin, hoping that he would spare their race.
But they knew that he was a ruthless man.
He never showed mercy to those who messed with him. He was known to kill his enemies in cold blood.
The governing gods of the demon race couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for themselves. They had hidden from Humphrey for all these years only to end up being found by Austin.
Austin studied the governing gods of the demon race.
He remained silent, and so did they.
The atmosphere was tense.
The governing gods felt uneasy about Austin's inaction. It was eerie.
They were aware that the fate of their race was in the young man's hands.
It was useless to resist for they couldn't match his strength even if they all fought together.
He had managed to injure even the powerful Humphrey;
Austin would have no trouble getting rid of them.
They had no intention of going against him.
The survival of their race depended on their rational decision.
Austin had a very calm expression on his face. It was hard to tell what was going through his mind.
At that moment, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
All of a sudden, he burst out laughing. "Are you afraid of me?"
The governing gods were speechless for a moment.
Then, one of them spoke up. "Mr. Lin, you are the only one in the Sea of Chaos who has ever fought against Humphrey and hurt him.
We are well aware of your strength. In comparison, we pale.
So, even if you attack us, we will not resist.
I only have one request.
Would you be kind enough to spare at least a few of our members,
so that our race would not go extinct?" the governing god pleaded.
As he spoke, he knelt down in front of Austin and the other six governing gods followed suit.
They had no choice.
The race was facing the threat of complete annihilation. They had t
being on their side.
They were with Austin Lin now.
The only being in the Sea of Chaos who had dared to go against Humphrey.
Now that they had Austin's protection, they believed that even Humphrey wouldn't be able to slay them easily.
"Mr. Lin, please come this way.
Let's go to the conference hall," one of the governing gods said to Austin enthusiastically.
They took their young leader to a huge palace and asked him to take the seat at the head of the table.
The leaders of the demon race came to greet Austin one by one.
He had long been famous in the Sea of Chaos.
So, no one in the demon race felt unhappy about working for him.
On the contrary, they were all very excited.
They finally had someone to rely on.
The demon race had been hiding in this small world for hundreds of years.
Although they hadn't been spotted by Humphrey yet, they had always been insecure about the future.
They had been worried that Humphrey would find them one day.
And when that day came, the demon race would probably be wiped out for good.
But now, things were different. Having Austin on their side, they felt a sense of security.
"Tell me, how are the other super forces doing?
Are they also hiding like you are?"
Austin asked.
