Hearing what Oswald had just said, Austin got excited.
"So, where are Caroline and the others?" he asked as he stared at Oswald with expectant eyes.
"Hmm. Austin, do you know who made that gray hand?
It was Thad. Thad did that,"
Oswald said.
"What? Are you sure?"
Austin was taken aback. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.
As he recalled what had happened, it occurred to him that the gray hand that had gone after him emitted strong evil energy and was surrounded by a gray mist.
Whenever the members of the evil shadow race activated their secret skills, the evil energy and the gray mist appeared.
"So… Thad supports the gods of darkness?!" Austin blurted out.
His brows furrowed at the thought.
"I'm afraid so.
He is indeed one of the top masters of the gods of darkness," Oswald confirmed with a nod.
He looked at the expression on Austin's face as he informed him of the situation.
"Seriously? I never would've reckoned that Thad is from the gods of darkness…"
This unexpected news left Austin dumbfounded.
'My wife's ancestor works for the gods of darkness. I guess things are about to get more complicated.' Austin frowned at his own thought.
"Priest Callum of the evil shadow race said that everyone in their race felt the call from their ancestor. Then, in that case, was it really Thad who summoned them?"
Austin crossed his arms as he made some speculation.
"Most probably.
Thad might have used some secret skill to summon his descendants when he came back.
All the members of the evil shadow race sensed it, so now they've set off to look for their ancestor,"
Oswald said in response.
Austin knew that what Oswald said made total sense.
"I bet they are with Thad now. Would that be a good thing or a bad thing?"
Austin couldn't mask his worry.
"Hmm. Who knows?
Maybe that would be best for some of the members. I guess they'd feel safer. As for Caroline…
Once Thad and the other gods of darkness find out that she's your wife, things might take a turn for the worse."
Oswald placed his palm across his head. He looked at Austin and wondered how he would react from the hard truth.
Meanwhile, Austin was in a daze. Despite the fact that he had already thought of this possibility, his heart grew heavier when he heard it from Oswald.
'He's right.
I've killed so many gods of darkness. We both know that I have a deep grudge against them, and now Caroline has fallen into their hands. What now? I don't know what to do.'
Tears formed in his eyes as he got more anxious. He couldn't stop thinking about what might happen to Caroline if he didn't do something.
Ever since he met her in the Prime Martial World, they had been through a lot. Even then, he had seen her as one of the most important women in his life.
They had a strong and deep bond. No words could even describe their love.
"No. I won't let anything happen to Caroline. I have to get her back!" Austin cried out through his gritted teeth.
His emotions finally got the best of him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Austin wasted no time and bolted towards the stronghold of the gods of darkness and the isolated alien spaces.
"Austin! Get a hold of yourself!"
Oswald was taken by surprise. He didn't anticipate that Austin would act so recklessly. He stretched out his hand and released a force of space law that dragged him back to his side.
"Listen up. There are at least three premium-grade divine gods on their side, not to mention the masters from the isolated alien spaces.
The underworld and those gods of darkness have also secretly colluded to go against us.
If you break into their stronghold now, you will only get yourself killed. Is that what you want?"
Oswald warned Austin as he shook his head.
"But… I can't just stand idly by and watch Caroline be put in danger.
I'll save her by all means even if it costs my life," Austin asserted.
Although he understood the risks of what he wanted to do, he was determined to take her back.
He was restless and distraught at the thought that his wife was in the hands of the gods of darkness.
"All right, all right. How about this? I'll discuss this first with Frost and Brain, and then we'll go to their stronghold to ask them if they could release Caroline.
I'm telling you, if you go there by yourself now, you will definitely die. I can't watch you get yourself killed.
You hear me?" Oswald tried to put Austin's mind at ease.
He then waved his sleeve and took Austin back to the stronghold of the gods of light in just a few seconds.
At this point, the battle between the four premium-grade divine gods ended.
It was such a close match that they had reached a temporary draw.
After all, every premium-grade divine god was almost omnipotent and had infinite power. If not exceptional, each of them was good at several laws of nature, at the very least.
Therefore, it was truly difficult to take out a premium-grade divine god.
