Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start? - Chapter 223

Chapter 223: Chapter223-Supreme Order, Owen of the Future
“Is that the Godslayer Staff?”

The moment Owen tightly gripped the Godslayer Staff and blocked the Pyrothrone King’s attack, many people’s attention was drawn to the dark golden glow radiating from the staff.

Their faces were filled with greed and curiosity.

The Godslayer Staff is a legendary staff even in Middle Earth, containing terrifying magical power.

It had disappeared without a trace after the fall of the ancient Dark God King and hadn’t resurfaced since.

According to rumors they had recently heard, Owen had gained the recognition of the Godslayer Staff.

Now it seemed the news was true, and his control over the staff had reached an impressive level!

“Is this Owen’s confidence in facing the Pyrothrone King, a god-tier mage? Relying on the staff once wielded by the ancient Dark God King?”

“That can’t be enough, right? The Godslayer Staff is powerful, but the Pyrothrone King is a god-tier mage. If he’s only relying on the staff, Owen is bound to die.”

The crowd murmured among themselves, thinking Owen might be too optimistic.

“The Godslayer Staff is a fine artifact, but how much of its power can someone at your level wield?”

At this moment, the Pyrothrone King, watching Owen fend off the molten assault with the staff’s power, sneered.

“When you’re dead, I’ll take good care of that staff for you!”

As his words fell, the scattered streams of molten lava were rapidly drawn together, forming nine swirling vortexes of molten rock in his molten hand.

Each vortex was about the size of a house, and as they drew closer to Owen, they condensed and shrank, like rapidly spinning drills, hammering down on the dark golden barrier formed by the Godslayer Staff.

The staff shuddered violently under the onslaught of the molten vortexes, quickly caving in, forcing Owen to retreat.

Owen’s own magical shield, upon contact with the vortexes, was instantly assimilated into the lava, radiating terrifying heat that scorched Owen’s skin, causing black smoke to rise.

If not for Owen’s strong physique and the activation of Obsidify, which covered his body in a layer of deep black light, his body would have quickly evaporated under the extreme heat.

“A god-tier mage really is terrifying…”

Owen murmured to himself, his gaze suddenly turning serious. The Order Domain rapidly expanded, enveloping him.

Just as the molten vortexes pierced through the Godslayer Staff’s barrier, his body swiftly transformed into a crimson flame.

After being twisted apart by the vortexes, the flames reformed several dozen meters away into a blazing figure.

After reaching the master-tier, one could form their own domain.

Upon reaching grandmaster-tier, one could even achieve bodily elementalization.

Although Owen had not yet reached grandmaster-tier, with the support of the Order of Fire and the Order Domain, he could temporarily elementalize his body to avoid fatal damage.

As Owen’s body reformed, he hadn’t even caught his breath before sharp spikes of molten rock surged up from beneath his feet, like countless thorns sweeping toward him.

These sharp spikes were imbued with a special divine power that forced Owen’s elementalized body back into its physical form.

“Elementalization is laughable in front of a god-tier mage!”

The Pyrothrone King scoffed after a brief surprise, using his divine power to lock down and suppress Owen, leaving him no room to escape as the molten spikes pierced him like a porcupine.

Bang! Bang!

However, just as the smile appeared on the Pyrothrone King’s face, the spikes that pierced Owen’s solidified body exploded bizarrely, as if they had struck an immovable iron wall.

Countless sparks erupted like fireworks around Owen, dazzling and brilliant, sending waves of heat through the air.

In the midst of the flames, Owen’s body began to expand bit by bit, and a strange power that disturbed time and space spread from him.

As this strange power spread, the Pyrothrone King’s face became slightly grim, and then he couldn’t help but show a look of intense greed.

Supreme Order!

This was the power of the Supreme Order!

As the Pyrothrone King realized this, the other mages present also stared at Owen in wonder.

The first time Owen had used the Supreme Order, the phenomenon had been seen throughout Middle Earth, and they had all sensed the terrifying power contained within.

This was a technique even more frightening than that of the ancient Dark God King.

Even as a god-tier mage, the Pyrothrone King was deeply tempted. With the aid of this power, he might have a chance to reach an even higher level!

“Is this the Supreme Order?”

Otto, the Bone Dragon King, the Gold Dragon King, and other god-tier mages all focused their attention on Owen, carefully sensing the energy radiating from him.

At that moment, after blocking the molten spikes, Owen’s body expanded rapidly like a balloon. Behind him, a colossal phantom loomed, occupying half the sky with a presence that crushed the very void.

The phantom was terrifying, seemingly boundless, and its full form could not be seen. However, upon seeing the towering head of the figure, everyone had the eerie sensation of seeing through time and witnessing Owen’s future self.

This enormous phantom resembled Owen closely but appeared much more mature. The magical energy radiating from the phantom also surged rapidly, eventually stabilizing at grandmaster-tier levels.

As his tier stabilized, this future Owen, emitting grandmaster-tier mana, began channeling all of its power into the present Owen.

Owen’s body began to swell faster, and his tier started to skyrocket temporarily!

Master-tier Lv2!

Master-tier Lv2!

…

It continued until he reached grandmaster-tier Lv1!

Only then did Owen’s energy stabilize!

By using the Supreme Order and borrowing power from his future self, Owen’s tier had been temporarily boosted by an entire major tier!

“Unbelievable! Other techniques can only temporarily raise a minor tier at most, which is already considered an impressive feat, especially at the master-tier level. But to instantly jump an entire major tier—this is beyond comprehension!”

“The difference in power between master-tier and grandmaster-tier is like night and day. He crossed that gap so easily!”

“Wow, Owen was already terrifyingly strong. As a master-tier, he had defeated grandmaster-tier mages. Now, with the Supreme Order elevating him to grandmaster-tier, who knows how frightening his power has become?!”

Mages across Middle Earth and the continent, witnessing Owen’s meteoric rise, were filled with dread.

Meanwhile, the sage-tier mages in the capital, along with the strong beings of the Dragon and Fallen Angel clans, watched Owen, who was adjusting to his newfound power, with grim expressions. They had a sense of unreality.

From the aura Owen was now emitting, even they, as sage-tier mages, could sense danger from him!

If they were to fight Owen in his Supreme Order state, they would be at risk of death!

In this state, Owen possessed the strength to challenge sage-tier mages!

It must be noted that they were among the top sage-tier mages, with elite bloodlines. There were few who could rival them, and now Owen had instantly reached this level!

“This is what it means to be a monstrous genius—his strength defies reason!”

“I used to think the clan leader was overly invested in Owen, but now I see they had the real foresight!”

“It’s hard to imagine how terrifying Owen will become when he breaks through to sage-tier or even god-tier. We might just be mere foot soldiers in his presence…”

The members of the Dragon and Fallen Angel clans were left dumbfounded, and their views of Owen changed drastically.

However, unlike the shock of the Dragon and Fallen Angel clans, the four generals and mages of the Pyrothrone Kingdom, after a brief moment of astonishment, displayed mocking expressions.

“Heh, so what if he’s reached grandmaster-tier? There’s still a vast gulf between that and sage-tier, let alone god-tier!”

“Exactly. The Supreme Order may have given Owen a huge boost in strength, but it still can’t bridge the gap between him and the king!”

They remained firmly convinced of their king’s superiority. After all, a god-tier mage was a force that no non-god-tier mage could defeat—a rule that had never been broken throughout history!
