"You overestimate me. I'm very flattered."
Austin flashed a wry smile as he tried to suppress his embarrassment.
Out of the fourteen people he met here, ten of them were gods of light.
Among all of them, Keysley was the undisputed leader.
He was one of the Jade Emperor's twelve divine generals in the Heavenly Court.
This entire team was filled with people he carefully handpicked.
"Otis, since we met here, our teams can work with each other and become one group. You can be our leader,"
Keysley suggested.
"Honestly, Austin's our team leader. He makes all the decisions.
You can discuss this with him,"
Otis explained, pointing a finger directly at Austin.
"Oh? Austin's your real leader?"
Surprise flashed on Keysley's face as he turned to look at Austin.
"That's right. Don't underestimate him. He's much stronger than I am,"
Otis proudly proclaimed with a smile.
"Well, anyone who can win Marshal Otis' admiration must be very powerful. Well then, Austin, we'll follow you from now on."
Keysley directed his statement to Austin.
"You think too highly of me, sir. I'm not that good,"
Austin hurriedly answered and swept into a low bow.
"Keysley, are those people who were chasing after you just now really Alston's guys?"
Curiosity gleamed in Otis' gaze.
"That's right.
You still remember Hyman, don't you?
In ancient times, he was also a member of the gods of light in the three thousand big and small universes.
However, he was actually one of the gods of darkness and was sent to spy on the gods of light. Somehow, he managed to kill several gods of light in secret.
I would have never expected that he'd enter the Fallen Divine Valley and participate in this competition too. Moreover, he joined Alston's team and became one of his most capable subordinates.
Currently, Alston has divided his men into three teams, each with about seventy people.
Hyman is a leader of a group.
He wields his chaotic magic treasure in his hand and leads a team of seventy people. Just thinking about his overall fighting power makes my hair stand on end.
As of this moment, he's spreading the news that all the gods of light from the three thousand big and small universes shall be killed in this competition.
More importantly, he issued a reward for anyone who could kill a god of light from the three thousand big and small universes, or even provide information about their whereabouts. Not only is he offering large amount of scores and magic treasures, he also dangled the opportunity to join his team in front of their noses.
Everyone in the competition was offered this reward.
It's not an exaggeration to say that within this competition for medium-grade divine gods, all the gods of light from our three thousand big and small universe got targets painted on our backs. Everybody wants to kill us. As soon as they find us, we'll be cornered and slaughtered,"
Keysley explained with a grim expression.
"What? Is that true? That's unbelievable!
I know Hyman.
I fought with him side by side on the battlefield once.
Never would I have realized that he's a spy who'd do such a despicable thing!"
Fury filled Otis' expression at Keysley's words.
"Sir, are you saying that Alston divided his people into three teams and directed them to take action separately?"
Austin clarified, unruffled by Otis' outburst.
"That's right.
There are more than two hundred people under Alston's command. Even if they're divided into three teams, each team would still have more than seventy people.
Moreover, each team's leader has refined a chaotic magic treasure. With the treasure in their hand, each team's fighting power is nothing less than terrifying.
Most run away whenever they have the misfortune of meeting Alston's guys. Even the sound of their footsteps is enough to leave the other contestants scrambling to escape. No one can afford to provoke them."
Keysley sighed with a nod of his head.
"A chaotic magic treasure plus a team of seventy people! That's indeed a terrifying force.
However, we can still figure out ways to deal with them. It's not impossible. If we can take all three chaotic magic treasures away from them, our strength will increase. I think it's completely doable.
Ha-ha! Master Otis, we can go and find Hyman. We must kill that bastard to avenge our dead brothers!
