Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start? - Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Chapter490-Welcoming the Mountain Lord’s Return from Seclusion
The infinite black hole devoured the universe.

Countless shadows of powerful figures appeared in the void, emerging from the past, the future, and parallel timelines.

At this moment, Owen’s figure became the center of all existence.

Seated at the heart of the Dark Temple, Owen slowly opened his eyes.

His deep, ink-like gaze plunged the world into endless darkness as soon as they opened.

A terrifying devouring force swept across the four corners of the world!

In the Demon Abyss, the Chief and others swiftly gathered around, staring at Owen in awe.

From Owen’s body, they felt an unimaginable [Order] fluctuation. Merely being near him made their own [Order] tremble, as though it were on the verge of being pulled in and devoured. Every one of them was under immense pressure.

When Owen slowly stood, the oppressive force he exuded was as thick and overwhelming as a tidal wave, causing their spines to creak under its weight.

At the same time, they bowed deeply, greeting him in unison:

“Welcome back, Mountain Lord!”

Their collective voices resounded like thunder.

Owen, however, did not immediately respond, his attention drawn to the system notifications flashing before him.

“Congratulations, Master! Your strength has reached Supreme God-Tier!”

“Congratulations, Master! Your soul has evolved through the Succubus Progenitor, achieving eternal indestructibility.”

“Congratulations, Master! Mana Void has advanced to Eternal Rank.”

“Congratulations, Master! You have comprehended your own unique Dao Law: Chaos Devour!”

“Chaos Devour—an unrivaled rule unique to the Master. Everything can be devoured, and all laws bow before it. Surpassing The Celestial!”

“Chaos Devour has birthed four eternal techniques: Light-Dark Seals [Eternal Rank], Supreme Order [Eternal Rank], Endless Devour [Eternal Rank], and Chaotic Annihilation [Eternal Rank].”

A smile appeared on Owen’s face as he read the notifications.

Three years of comprehending his Dao Law had finally borne fruit!

Though it seemed like only three years, in that unique state of comprehension, it felt as though millennia had passed.

During this time, his soul—thanks to Rachel’s earlier assistance—had successfully reached the eternal indestructible tier.

At this level, even if his physical body perished, his soul would persist eternally, making him an unkillable and enigmatic existence.

Even the Lord of Stars, the God of Light, and the War Goddess were slightly inferior to him in terms of soul tier.

Moreover, the significant enhancement of Mana Void brought him immense joy. Previously, this unique field ability had been of great help but had lost its efficacy as his opponents grew increasingly powerful.

Now, having evolved to Eternal Rank, Mana Void could once again shine in his hands!

However, what thrilled Owen the most was finally completing his own unique Dao Law—Chaos Devour.

This was now his most powerful Dao Law. Though he had yet to test its true power, even Owen could not fathom the extent of its terror and strength.

Chaos Devour was a unique existence formed by comprehending other Dao Laws and fusing them with his bloodline.

While its ultimate power remained unknown, Owen felt confident that, with Chaos Devour, he could now obliterate The Celestial!

Satisfied, Owen nodded and gradually reined in his oppressive aura, restoring his usual calm demeanor.

As his energy stabilized, those around him felt a profound and ethereal wave emanating from him.

Once again, they called out loudly:

“Greetings, Mountain Lord!”

Owen stood there, unfathomable and serene. Even the powerful elders of the Divine Mountain, who had grown stronger over the past three years, could not discern the depths of his power. Facing him, they felt an instinctive reverence, as though gazing upon an insurmountable peak.

The stronger Owen became, the happier they were, for he was their Mountain Lord.

Owen’s strength symbolized the resurgence of the Divine Mountain.

Seeing their reverent expressions, Owen stepped forward and helped the Chief and others to their feet.

“There’s no need for formalities. From now on, we are all family,” Owen said with a warm smile.

He then lifted his gaze toward the sky.

“Now, we have work to do.”

The Chief and the others were momentarily stunned, then turned their attention to Owen.

Owen smiled faintly.

“Before entering seclusion, I said that when I emerged, it would mark the rise of the Divine Mountain!”

Hearing these words, everyone’s spirits soared.

Even the older warriors like the Chief felt their breaths quicken.

Ever since the Divine Mountain had been cast into the Demon Abyss, the strongest desire of its descendants had been to escape and take revenge on The Celestial.

But repeated failures had drained their hope.

Before they could succumb to despair, the Mountain Lord appeared, reigniting their dreams.

Now, with the Mountain Lord’s breakthrough in strength, the prospect of revenge against The Celestial felt within reach!

“Revenge!”

“Revenge!”

The descendants of the Divine Mountain roared passionately, their blood boiling.

Amid their fervor, Owen remained composed, speaking with gravity:

“This path of vengeance will not be easy. The world outside is now under The Celestial’s dominion, and you must be prepared for the challenges ahead.”

“The Celestial’s power is at its zenith. To oppose them means risking annihilation.”

Hearing Owen’s solemn tone, the Chief and the others laughed heartily.

“Mountain Lord, we have fought The Celestial for years. Though we lack your strength and courage, we have never feared them!”

“Our bloodline carries the will to resist The Celestial!”

“As descendants of the Divine Mountain, we have long cast aside fear of death. For revenge, we will follow you to the end!”

“Where the Mountain Lord stands, there stands the Divine Mountain!”

The Chief’s words resonated, and the others echoed them with fervor, their voices shaking the heavens. Their eyes burned with determination, their gazes toward Owen filled with reverence.

To them, Owen was not only their Mountain Lord but also the inheritor of the Divine Mountain’s will.

For the Divine Mountain, they would follow Owen, even if it meant dying on the battlefield.

Owen looked at their faces, both young and old, feeling the weight of responsibility settle on his shoulders.

Avenging the Divine Mountain could not wait.

Raising his eyes to the heavens, Owen declared:

“Let’s go. This time, we will turn The Celestial upside down!”

As his commanding voice echoed, the others unleashed their auras and roared in unison.

Amid the thunderous cheers, Owen seemed to become a radiant beacon of light.

Watching from afar, Marry and the others smiled faintly.

Owen was still Owen.

He hadn’t changed.

And whatever he set his mind to, he would succeed.

“Mentor, I think Owen is starting to sound like a cult leader…”

Raina remarked, glancing at Owen, who was surrounded like a king. Despite her jest, she couldn’t help but nod with a smile.

At that moment, Owen’s charisma and power were undeniable. Even Raina felt her resolve waver, wanting nothing more than to fight alongside him.

Lana lightly pouted.

“This guy can’t stop stirring things up, can he?”

As they discussed, Rachel approached them.

“Sister Raina, why don’t we leave together? You’ll be part of the Divine Mountain soon anyway.”

Hearing this, Raina hesitated.

Opposing The Celestial meant risking complete annihilation.

Initially, they had joined the Divine Mountain simply to survive, not to challenge The Celestial.

But Raina’s hesitation didn’t last long.

Marry suddenly whispered to her via telepathy:

“Mentor, why don’t we join the Divine Mountain? Maybe… maybe we can help Owen.”

Marry had always admired Owen.

Though she now understood the vast gap between them, her admiration had transformed into a deep respect.

She hoped that by joining the Divine Mountain, she could contribute to his cause.
