Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start? - Chapter 284

Chapter 284: Chapter281-Two Celestial Gods!
The God Realm Master!

At that moment, countless eyes were fixed on the sky, where a boundless ocean of golden lightning surged.

Amidst the storm, a figure full of majesty stepped through the void. Every mage present felt an immense pressure deep within their souls.

The gods of Middle Earth trembled in awe, clasping their hands together in prayer.

They all yearned for the God Realm, the place of ultimate magic and resources, the paradise of their dreams.

But most importantly, it was ruled by the God Realm Master, a being with god-tier power.

In contrast, the people of the capital, though knowing little about celestial god-level beings, had absolute faith in their Emperor Owen and Empress Leslie.

“So what if he’s a celestial god? In front of the Emperor and the Empress, even a god must kneel!”

“Exactly! The Emperor and Empress have gone through so many hardships to get here. And now, a mere celestial god dares to act arrogantly?”

The people of the Azure Kingdom cheered for Owen and Leslie. As their renown had grown, the people’s admiration had turned into a kind of fanatical worship, akin to that of devoted followers.

Hearing the cheers from the people below, Henry and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths. This was the God Realm Master, a being who could decide life and death with a word. Didn’t they see that even the Archgod and the gods of Middle Earth were almost bowing to him?

Yet the people showed no reverence.

But soon, they realized it wasn’t that the God Realm Master lacked strength—it was that Owen and Leslie were simply too monstrous! Even as they stood in opposition to the celestial god, they felt little fear. In fact, Owen and Leslie seemed like an unshakable fortress.

Under Henry and the others’ watchful eyes, Owen and Leslie exchanged glances, their thoughts synchronized as they launched an attack on the God Realm Master together.

The Godslayer Array, a sea of blood surging; the Spear of War God, brimming with murderous intent—both combined to form an indomitable pillar, instantly locking onto the God Realm Master.

“You two lack respect for celestial gods!” The God Realm Master snorted coldly. As his voice rumbled through the heavens, magic surged like a tidal wave, sweeping across the sky. His magic clashed with Owen’s Godslayer Array.

Both attacks were among the most terrifying forces in existence. Their collision sent shockwaves rippling through the world, shattering space like broken glass. The fragments of reality twisted in the void like a chaotic beast.

The gods of Middle Earth, including the Archgod, were filled with dread and quickly retreated. Even the aftershocks of the clash brought them to the brink of death.

As they withdrew, Owen’s brow furrowed. Amid the chaotic ripples, he sensed another presence, just as powerful as the God Realm Master’s.

Another celestial god had arrived!

“This barren land still has talents like you two? I’ve been secluded for too long, it seems,” came a voice from beyond the ripples. An elderly figure, hunched over with a black coffin strapped to his back, appeared beside the God Realm Master.

The Celestial God of the Burial Grounds!

Upon seeing the strange elder, the gods of Middle Earth were even more shocked. They recognized him instantly. This was the ruler of the Burial Grounds, a place said to be a paradise for the dead, where only those of the Burial Grounds could come and go freely.

And this elder, known as the Forsaken Celestial God, was the king of that realm—another celestial god of the highest order!

Two celestial gods had appeared!

Even the Archgod, who had called upon the God Realm Master, hadn’t expected such an outcome. Two celestial gods filled the sky, shining like twin suns. Every mage present was drawn to them.

Owen and Leslie exchanged wary glances, preparing to strike. Their plan was simple: kill one celestial god first, then the other.

But before they could act, the Forsaken Celestial God and the God Realm Master had already locked onto their presence, as though two invisible hands were choking them.

“You two are unexpected variables in our plans, so we came prepared. I didn’t expect to actually need it,” the God Realm Master remarked. At first, he had thought dealing with Owen and Leslie would be an easy task. But after his initial clash with Owen, he realized he had underestimated him. If Leslie joined the fight, he might even be in danger.

But with two celestial gods working together, Owen and Leslie stood no chance.

As for everyone else, they were of no concern.

“These two have immense potential. Once they fall into the Burial Grounds, they will make excellent celestial corpses,” the Forsaken Celestial God said, eyeing Owen and Leslie with fiery intensity. The black coffin on his back trembled, emitting a disturbing magical pulse.

Just then, a dark, deep light—like a black hole—suddenly appeared in front of Owen and Leslie, blocking the unsettling energy.

The coffin, which had begun to open, slammed shut as if pressed down by an invisible hand.

“Who goes there?”

The Forsaken Celestial God glared at the source of the black light, sensing the aura of another celestial god, though it was unfamiliar to him.

The God Realm Master’s eyes widened slightly in confusion.

Amidst their confusion, the black light shifted, revealing a figure in a black gown—Archdemon.

“As elders, is this how you treat the younger generation—ganging up on them two against one?” Archdemon swept her gaze over the God Realm Master and the Forsaken Celestial God, her lips curling into a mocking smile.

“Archdemon? How can this be? Your foundation was damaged, your life force depleted. How did you break through to the celestial god realm?” It wasn’t the celestial gods who spoke first, but the Archgod, his voice filled with disbelief.

When Archdemon had kidnapped Owen earlier, she had been at the same level as him. But now, in such a short time, she had surpassed him and become a celestial god?

How could he not feel envy and jealousy?

“I’ve heard of you before, Archdemon. I didn’t expect a junior like you to break through to the celestial god realm,” the Forsaken Celestial God said, his expression growing more serious. But then, a glimmer of desire appeared in his eyes. Archdemon was already an extraordinary being, and now that she had ascended to celestial god status, she radiated a unique allure that stirred even his long-dormant heart.

“Should we still call you Archdemon, or would ‘Celestial Demon’ be more fitting?” The God Realm Master, now wary, spoke with a more respectful tone. “Since you’ve become a celestial god, it’s best not to meddle in this matter. It would be beneficial for everyone.”

Though he wasn’t sure of Archdemon’s relationship with Owen and Leslie, he could feel her strong hostility toward him and the Forsaken Celestial God.

Celestial Demon replied coldly, “I have no desire to involve myself in your affairs. But you’ve gone too far.”

“And besides, Owen has done me a favor. Did you ask my permission before attacking him?”

The gods of Middle Earth were full of confusion.

Wasn’t Archdemon the one who kidnapped Owen? Shouldn’t there be deep hatred between them? Why was she helping him now, against two celestial gods no less?

Owen looked slightly conflicted. Leslie, although she had harbored some resentment toward Archdemon before, now spoke up: “Congratulations on your breakthrough to the celestial god realm, Archdemon. Your righteous assistance today will not be forgotten.”

Archdemon smiled faintly. “I came in a hurry today, so I didn’t bring you a wedding gift. Consider my aid a present—happy wedding!” She glanced at Owen with a complex look in her eyes.

Owen felt touched. Though he had helped Archdemon extend her life, thus earning her favor, he believed her intervention had more to do with a fleeting romance from their time in hell.

But regardless, with Archdemon’s help, even two celestial gods were no longer an insurmountable challenge.

They could still fight!
