Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start? - Chapter 370

Chapter 370: Chapter366-The Pure Land Frenzy
Two Grand Celestial Gods Forced to Self-Destruct!

The self-detonation of the two Grand Celestial Gods released a shockwave capable of obliterating a small world, turning hundreds of miles around them into a barren wasteland.

However, the mana fluctuations from their self-destruction bizarrely ceased expanding within the white light.

Soon, the white light abruptly dissipated, and the two Grand Celestial Gods completely vanished, as though they had never existed. Their projections were utterly erased.

As the projections of three more Grand Celestial Gods arrived, all were destroyed by Owen.

The previously calm sky of the Pure Land suddenly twisted into a swirling vortex, resembling the eye of a storm.

A huge, eight-legged spider-shaped shadow appeared in the sky, and from the eye of the storm, an enraged roar echoed out.

“Owen! I, Loki, will never forgive you!”

This voice sounded like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth, causing the entire Pure Land to tremble.

At that moment, every mage and race in the Pure Land raised their heads to look at the sky. They were no strangers to Loki, an important figure under the command of The Celestial.

He rarely showed himself, though his power was immense. He preferred working in the shadows.

What had happened to make this usually low-profile figure so enraged?

Many wondered.

“Owen?! Could the Owen that Lord Loki is talking about be the same one who provoked him earlier?”

“Wait, someone dared to provoke Lord Loki?”

“Didn’t Owen provoke Lord Loki before the era’s end and walk away unscathed?”

“Wow, this Owen is that powerful?”

“Are we talking about the same Owen that the goddesses and saints are watching closely?”

“Yes, although his origins are humble, his talent is out of this world. I’ve heard that several powerful factions in the Pure Land are looking to approach Owen, treating him like a prize catch!”

“I wonder what happened this time. Owen has entered the Pure Land and pissed off Lord Loki?”

“He didn’t stay hidden in the lower realms this time. He actually dared to enter Pure Land and provoke Loki. He’s truly beyond reason!”

The announcement of Loki’s rage spread quickly, sparking widespread debate.

After all, both Loki and Owen were key figures in the Pure Land. Owen, especially, had garnered attention since the dawn of the new era.

As factions in the Pure Land delved deeper into Owen’s background, they found his talents and abilities to be truly astonishing, even incomprehensible.

Many believed that Owen’s accomplishments rivaled the legendary figures of the God of Light and the Lord of Stars.

In fact, in certain aspects, Owen had surpassed them, as the two ancient deities had failed in their struggle against The Celestial.

Now, in the eyes of many in the Pure Land, Owen had replaced those two ancient gods as the most extraordinary figure of this era.

His rise had been meteoric, and from the moment he emerged, he stirred up enormous waves.

From disregarding tier differences to defeating the most elite of his peers, challenging older figures, and even leading the assault on Pyrothrone Kingdom, Owen had already earned a legendary reputation.

And then, even more shockingly, he had forced the four extreme Forbidden Zones, which had once run rampant, into submission, demanding massive compensation in return!

These incredible feats would have made any mage a legend. Yet Owen had accomplished them all, one after another.

Soon, amid these discussions, a thought occurred to many, and their expressions turned even more shocked.

“Do you think Lord Loki’s fury is related to the two Celestial Gods who just fell?”

Some speculated.

Recently, the sky in the Pure Land had darkened, an unusual phenomenon that was only caused by the fall of a celestial god. And now, it had happened twice in a row!

Two Celestial Gods—God-tier mages—had perished almost simultaneously!

A Celestial God-tier mage’s fall was a catastrophe for any faction.

The celestial god palace, whose two gods had fallen, was in an uproar.

Among them, one of the fallen was Fitch, the well-known head of the Battle Department, an important figure and a symbol of hope for many within the palace.

The person responsible for their deaths was not Owen himself, but someone closely connected to him—Leslie!

Leslie, the cold and ruthless woman who had killed her own king to take his place and become the empress, had an intimidating reputation.

Her immense talent, cold-bloodedness, and lack of mercy left many terrified.

Now, with Leslie having slain two Celestial Gods, her reputation as an implacable and powerful figure had been further solidified.

Some of those who had attended Owen and Leslie’s wedding had never forgotten Leslie’s stunning beauty, poise, and power.

“Owen and Leslie have just arrived in the Pure Land, and already, they’re making headlines. My premonitions were right!” Kawa Zang, who had barely survived his encounter in Skyline Gorge, murmured to himself after hearing the news, his face a mix of awe and contemplation.

Both Owen and Leslie were figures of unmatched potential in his mind. They had surpassed every hero and strong figure in history.

If not for Owen’s interference with Flora back in Skyline Gorge, Kawa Zang would likely have been dead. This gratitude was not lost on him.

“Owen is now at the heart of the battle against The Celestial, and the Pure Land is the core of The Celestial’s dominion. His arrival is sure to stir up a storm.”

“Owen doesn’t care about where he is. He has no respect for The Celestial. If the Pure Land descends into chaos, we’ll certainly witness more ground-shaking events and record more history.”

The Windshadow mages surrounding Kawa Zang were all filled with excitement.

Before Owen’s arrival, the Pure Land had been a dull and stagnant place.

Now, with Owen’s arrival, the atmosphere had changed completely, and the Windshadow faction could hardly wait for what was to come.

Kawa Zang, grinning, said, “Let’s go. We need to prepare. We’ll be busy gathering intelligence on Owen and Leslie.

This history we’re witnessing will surely be immortalized and discussed for generations to come.”

His companions were taken aback by his reverence for Owen and Leslie. They hadn’t expected him to hold them in such high regard.

…

At the same time, as Loki’s rage spread, more news about Owen, Leslie, and Skyline Gorge rapidly spread across the Pure Land.

In the Celestial God Palace, the disciples and elders all wore grim expressions, with traces of anger and fear in their eyes.

The mysterious disappearance of the Lord of the Celestial God Palace, the fall of two Celestial Gods—including Fitch, the head of the Battle Department—had left the palace reeling. This was a loss that even the Celestial God Palace could not easily bear.

After all, the fall of a single Celestial God had once prompted the Celestial God Palace to declare a deathmatch with Ysera of Emerald Dreamscape.

Celestial Gods were the pillars of top-tier factions; losing any of them destabilized the entire structure.

Soon, the air in the Celestial God Palace was filled with urgent whispers, as the most important elders and core figures gathered to discuss the crisis.

Especially their previous idea of having the Lord and Owen unite now seems to have been stillborn.
