"What are you waiting for?" a genuine divine god of the wood puppet race asked as he pointed at Austin excitedly.
"Let's capture him and take him back to our supreme grandmaster!"
"Catch him?"
someone echoed dubiously.
"Have you already forgotten how powerful that human boy is?"
"That's right." Someone backed him up. "He was able to break into our ancestral land on his own!"
Immediately, the members of the wood puppet race broke into an argument: those in favor of capturing Austin versus those who weren't.
"Humph! Don't you understand?" one of them snorted.
"The only reason why he was able to break in was because our supreme grandmaster let him.
The supreme grandmaster meant to use this boy as a means to take back our race's holy treasure!
Did you really think so highly of this young man?"
Others began to nod in agreement.
"What you said makes sense!
Our supreme grandmaster was indeed using this human boy to help us get the holy treasure from the Longevity Valley!"
"Huh," one of them grunted. "This guy
Everyone in this supreme universe knows that.
I don't think anyone would want to help us,
which begs the question. Why has someone come to break the arrays?"
He narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
"There is only one possibility then.
Austin is here,"
Asa said proudly.
"Austin?
He's here?"
The other people all turned to face Asa in surprise.
"He's been gone too long.
He likes travelling around, too. I don't think he'd come back here again.
He's probably forgotten about us already."
The gnome pursed his lips.
"Don't say that!
He might've been gone a while, but he still remembers us.
I'm sure he has come back to save us!"
Conor said excitedly.
"Yes, I have to agree with Conor," Farrar said with a nod.
"Austin would never forget us,
let alone leave us behind.
He will definitely come back for us."
"Even if Austin did come," the gnome said sourly, "he won't be able to defeat both supreme grandmasters.
Did you forget already?
He left this supreme universe to get away from them!"
