Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start? - Chapter 213

Chapter 213: Chapter213-The Tremors Across Middle Earth
In Middle Earth.

Massive clouds, resembling giant whales, soared across the sky like they were navigating through the sea of clouds.

They moved at incredible speed, shattering the cloud formations in their path.

At the bow of this cloudship, Owen and Leslie stood side by side, gazing into the distance. Neither of them spoke, but their hands were tightly clasped together, as if sharing a silent promise.

Seraphina, playful like a child, slithered across their bodies with her scaled form, occasionally rubbing her little head against them. Her large eyes sparkled with joy, almost as if she were smiling.

Bright rays of light pierced through the thick clouds, scattering like golden threads upon them, making it appear as though they were draped in delicate golden veils.

The scene looked peaceful and harmonious, like a richly painted family portrait, filled with vibrant colors. The family appeared united and content.

Not far away, this scene fell into the eyes of the bone dragon princess, and a deep sense of envy filled her gaze. .

She was especially envious of Seraphina, who crawled all over Owen without restraint, sniffing him as if savoring his scent, her face full of bliss. The princess’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Alas, such a perfect moment, and yet she had no place in it.

With a sigh of regret, she nestled into the arms of the bone dragon king.

Meanwhile, this harmonious scene caught the eye of the Gold Dragon King, and a cunning look began to form in his mind.

“Owen, someone so loyal and talented, is rare indeed. I think you two would make a great match. You should work hard to win him over,” he said.

“Once you give birth to a strong heir, let’s see if that old bone dares to brag about his precious daughter in front of me again!”

“I’m getting old now, and you are the most talented in the god dragon clan. Once you secure Owen, I can entrust the clan to you,” the Gold Dragon King said with a wide grin as he looked at the Dragon Princess beside him.

He hadn’t known much about Owen before, but as he learned more, the more convinced he became that Owen would make a fine son-in-law.

After all, Owen excelled in many ways—especially his boldness in confronting the Pyrothrone Kingdom for Leslie’s sake.

This reassured the Gold Dragon King that his daughter would at least not suffer in the future.

However, after hearing the grand promises her father painted, the Dragon Princess gave him an exasperated look, lifted her proud chest, and shook her head. “I am the Dragon Princess, my bloodline is noble. No matter how gifted he is, he’s just a human. Besides, he already has Leslie. We are not suitable!”

The Gold Dragon King shook his head, unconvinced, and gently urged, “Why wouldn’t it work? You two would be a power couple. There’s no one more exceptional than Owen in all of Middle Earth. I think you’re perfect together! Although you’re not as pretty as Leslie, you have a better figure!”

Seeing her father’s endless rambling, the Dragon Princess couldn’t bear it any longer. Covering her ears, she hurried away.

The Gold Dragon King quickly chased after her, eager to continue advising his proud daughter.

Meanwhile, after spending some quiet moments with Leslie, Owen glanced down at the increasingly bustling scene below in Middle Earth. He gathered the young talents of Middle Earth on the deck of the cloudship.

Henry and the others stepped onto the deck, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

None of them had expected that Owen would truly make a move against the Pyrothrone Kingdom, nor that the god dragon clan, the bone dragon clan, and the Fallen Angel clan would all side with him.

These three races were all renowned throughout Middle Earth.

With their strong support, even Henry and the others couldn’t help but feel a surge of confidence in Owen’s upcoming endeavor.

Owen swept his gaze across Henry and the others and said calmly, “Now that we’ve reached Middle Earth, you’re free to go. Leave as you wish.”

With the dragons and Fallen Angels aiding him, these young talents from Middle Earth no longer had much use.

So, Owen decided to let them go, bringing this matter to a close.

Upon hearing that they could leave, Henry and the others couldn’t hide the joy in their hearts. After all, Owen had left an indelible psychological shadow on them.

Escaping from Owen had been their only wish up to this point.

However, this excitement only lasted a moment before they suppressed it. Their gazes became somewhat dazed as they looked at Owen.

They remembered when they first met Owen, they had scoffed at this so-called genius mage of the continent, thinking he was nothing more than a frog in a well.

But after seeing Owen kill Kaldan and those master-tier Protectors, their attitudes had drastically changed.

They feared Owen’s brutality, down to their very bones.

But after witnessing the events at the Slave King’s Tomb and Owen’s bold actions against the Pyrothrone Kingdom, their views on him had shifted once again.

“Mr. Owen, I wish to continue following you, to witness the fall of the Pyrothrone Kingdom. What do you think?” Henry spoke up after a brief moment of contemplation.

Owen’s move against the Pyrothrone Kingdom was a momentous event that would shake all of Middle Earth, an event that would certainly go down in history.

At such a critical moment, Henry didn’t want to miss out. He planned to stay by Owen’s side for now and evaluate the situation after this affair was settled.

Owen’s current power placed him among the top talents of Middle Earth.

With the backing of the dragon and Fallen Angel clans, he had unknowingly become a major figure with limitless potential!

Other young talents in Middle Earth shared Henry’s sentiment.

If they left Owen now, it would be much harder to approach him again in the future.

It was better to stay by his side at this pivotal moment and show their support.

Owen was somewhat surprised by their decision, but he didn’t mind. Whether they stayed or left was entirely up to them.

“Diana, as a student of Sunluna Academy, it’s not appropriate for you to stay here, is it?” Leslie, standing beside Owen, glanced at Diana and asked.

Typically, the three major academies in Middle Earth avoided getting involved in political conflicts, focusing solely on education.

As a student of Sunluna Academy, Diana was expected to follow this rule.

Diana stuck out her tongue playfully. “No rush, no rush. I’m in disguise anyway. No one will recognize me. I’ll deal with it after all this is over.”

…

As Owen’s cloudship and his formidable army drew ever closer to the Pyrothrone Kingdom, the various factions across Middle Earth were gradually stirred into action.

The implications of this event were too significant. Regardless of the outcome, it would certainly impact the current balance in Middle Earth.

At Melodic Academy.

Rictor, the headmaster, clad in a white mage robe, sat at the head of the round table.

Other mentors from the academy were seated around the table, most of them furious, engaging in heated discussions.

“The headmaster warned the Pyrothrone Kingdom not to touch Owen for a year. The Pyrothrone King agreed but secretly targeted his fiancée Leslie. This is blatant disrespect to our Melodic Academy!”

Although it hadn’t been the academy’s original intention to buy Owen a year, the headmaster had personally gone to the Pyrothrone Kingdom to declare this decision.

Yet, it seemed the Pyrothrone Kingdom was acting with complete disregard for the academy.

Some hot-headed professors and mentors angrily demanded immediate action against the Pyrothrone Kingdom.

Others, aware of Rachel’s importance, suggested collaborating with the Pyrothrone Kingdom to deal with Owen’s army.

However, most of the professors and mentors preferred to watch the situation unfold without directly intervening.

After all, by sitting back and letting the two sides fight, the academy would have room to maneuver regardless of who emerged victorious.

This debate didn’t last long.

Rictor, sitting at the head of the table, glanced around and cleared his throat before speaking.

“The Pyrothrone Kingdom disrespected our Melodic Academy, and Owen used Rachel to threaten us. Neither of them is a suitable ally. Let them fight it out. This situation will ultimately benefit us. If we intervene, it will only put us in a passive position and harm the academy’s reputation.”

Hearing Rictor’s words, the room gradually quieted down, with most of the professors and mentors nodding in agreement with the headmaster’s judgment.

…

At the same time, in Sunluna Academy, the professors and mentors were also in discussion.

They were well aware of the headmaster’s high regard for Owen, and based on the information they had gathered, Owen deserved such attention.

However, his bold move against the Pyrothrone Kingdom seemed too reckless in their eyes.
