Austin secretly observed this man—he was tall, brawny, and even had a fair complexion.
This handsome young man was clad in a fine robe with a jade belt. He emitted golden light, which only meant that he had lots of high-grade treasures in his possession.
Although there were mysterious symbols inscribed on his body, he still looked strong and noble.
When Austin sized him up, he easily perceived that this young man was a genuine medium-grade divine god.
What was more, this man was obsessed with the mermaid.
He looked at her with a hint of desire in his eyes.
"Don't worry about me, Elijah. I'm fine.
Thanks to Austin, I didn't get into any trouble.
By the way, how are the others from our Heaven Beast Valley?" the mermaid asked casually.
'Hmm. I see. So this mermaid comes from the Heaven Beast Valley.'
Austin was quietly listening in on the conversation between the mermaid and the handsome, young man.
The Heaven Beast Valley was a forbidden place in the Sea of Chaos. However, it had recently been gaining fame.
The creatures from this forbidden area were known to be incredibly powerful.
"Wait. Did you just say Austin? Who is this Austin guy anyway?!"
When he realized who she meant, Elijah slowly turned to look at Austin with his piercing eyes. It was as though he was trying to assess whether Austin was a good man.
At this point, Austin had sent all the genuine divine gods whom he had just tamed into the continent that he had created.
Since he was strong enough to protect himself in the maze, Austin didn't need those slaves to fight beside him.
If he kept them by his side, he would have had to protect them from the illusions that were all over the place.
That was why Elijah saw no one else except Austin and the mermaid, alone together.
"Who are you?! Why are you with her?
What do you want from her?!
Speak!"
Elijah grilled Austin in a strident voice.
Sensing that Austin was an ordinary preliminary-grade divine god, he only took him for a human kid whose strength was too weak and insignificant.
Thus, he showed Austin no sign of respect.
"Don't be so rude to him, Elijah.
Austin is a good guy. Without him, I probably wouldn't have made it alive," the mermaid suddenly uttered.
Afraid that Elijah might piss Austin off, she hurriedly went forward and stood between Austin and Elijah.
The mermaid was well aware of what Austin was capable of, so she knew he could snuff Elijah out without even breaking a sweat.
Meanwhile, Austin didn't say a word. He simply stared back at Elijah as he curled his lip.
"Well?! What are you waiting for?
Get your ass over here and answer me!" Elijah raved.
He was already losing his temper. Murderous intent filled his eyes as he furiously stared at Austin.
This young man had always regarded the mermaid as his woman.
However, she had spent some time alone with this stranger in front of him.
He couldn't help but fly into a rage as he thought about what could have happened between the two.
Not only that, but the mermaid had also stood in front of Austin to protect him. This made him feel more envious and uncomfortable.
"Weakling, if you don't want to die, come over and kneel before me.
You better answer my questions now. Or else, I will make you suffer!"
Elijah snarled at Austin as jealousy took over him.
Waves of a terrifying amount of energy gushed out from his body and came at Austin.
In an instant, this energy began to shake the space where Austin was standing.
Nonetheless, Austin remained still as though nothing strange was happening.
"Elijah, stop this now! If you keep pushing him, I'll be angry!
Austin is a really good man.
You don't have to do this to him!"
The mermaid opened her arms wide to ensure that Elijah wouldn't harm Austin in any way.
"Believe me, I'm doing this for your sake.
You're still young, so you don't know how dangerous the world is.
I don't know what dirty tricks this loser has pulled on you to get you into trusting him like this.
This loser must have done a lot to win your trust. I bet he's even planning to hurt you."
Elijah got more riled up as the mermaid spoke up for Austin.
"Now, move! I'm gonna destroy this loser.
After that, we can go and look for our companions,"
Elijah announced.
"No!
