After a while, the message that Austin had left in the Heaven Roc Universe Community
spread, reaching other parts of the Sea of Chaos.
The creatures that read it
were confused.
They all
followed the message to the Heaven Roc Universe Community and peered at it closely.
After some observation,
they understood what had happened.
"No!
Looks like the whole heaven roc race has been exterminated!"
"It was Austin. I traced the time and space and saw Austin!"
"Austin destroyed the Heaven Roc race!"
Within minutes,
rumors spread across the Sea of Chaos and
everyone was blaming Austin.
They all were shocked to the core.
Over the past few months, the heaven roc race had
reached a high status and power. Of course, they were riding off of Humphrey's power,
but they still should have managed to fight back.
All over the Heaven Roc Universe Community, there were blood, flesh, and bones floating in the air. It was too brutal.
Residual broken souls howled and appeared and vanished.
It confirmed that the heaven roc race was gone.
"I can't believe he took down Humphrey's army like this!"
"He must have done it because
he wanted revenge on Humphrey!"
"That's right.
Originally, the heaven roc race didn't have a deep grudge against Austin. I feel almost sorry for them. It wasn't their fault."
"Really? Because I heard that the heaven roc race had sent a large number of people to search for the missing creatures of the three thousand big and small universes.
That could have angered Austin."
The discussions happened but no one knew the real reasons behind it.
Even in their death,
the heaven roc race had caught the attention of the entire Sea of Chaos.
Meanwhile,
the Ice Palace
was empty.
It used to be the headquarters of the allied army,
but now the allied army had retreated to the three thousand big and small universes.
Austin now was the only one present there. He had come to visit the Ice Sword World in the Ice Palace.
In the deep void of the Ice Sword World, there was an ancestral sword shrine.
It was well hidden.
Only Austin and a few senior leaders of the Ice Palace knew of its existence.
Austin entered the sword shrine.
The layout of the building was very simple.
In the center of it, there was an altar with five spiritual tablets on it.
"Austin, you're back,"
Sword Son Curry said, appearing outside of the tablets.
"Nice to see you again, sir,"
Austin greeted politely.
"Austin, there's no need to be so formal.
I can see that you've made great progress with your fighting power since I last saw you.
You've also made amazing progress in your swordsmanship,"
Sword Son Curry praised, sweeping his eyes over Austin.
"Thank you for your praise. I'm flattered.
Austin suddenly asked.
In the Sword Cosmos, a terrible, big hand had come out of nowhere and started killing creatures.
Even the governing gods couldn't fight it and had to run and hide.
Currently, the vast majority of creatures in the Sword Cosmos were hiding in their own places. If they wandered outside, they risked their lives.
Austin had entered the Sword Cosmos twice and he grew curious about the hand.
He figured that out of anyone, Sword Son Curry would have the answers.
After all, he knew the most about the Sword Cosmos.
"The Hand of Heaven!"
Sword Son Curry exclaimed.
"Yes. It is extremely unpredictable.
It appears and kills for no reason.
I've thought about it for quite a long time, but I still don't understand it,"
Sword Son Curry murmured as he looked in the direction of the Sword Cosmos.
"It reminds me of something my master once said.
He told us that all the supreme universes are threatened by a terrifying existence.
One day, it would come for each supreme universe and destroy it.
I wonder if that's what the Hand of Heaven is,"
Sword Son Curry recalled.
"That's really going to happen?"
Austin asked.
"Yes.
That's what my master told us,"
Sword Son Curry replied with a nod.
Master Sword was the strongest creature in the Sword Cosmos.
He had richer experience, broader knowledge, and more advanced deduction abilities than anyone else.
Therefore, his guess was more reliable.
