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

Chapter 305: Chapter302-The Army Rises Once More to Defy the Heavens



After mastering various techniques, Leslie began to walk her own path. To this day, even Owen wasn't entirely sure how strong she had become. However, he could sense the depth of her power. The fact that she had been able to briefly contend with a celestial god spoke

volumes.

"Congratulations, host! You have successfully Devoured and fused Infinite Light and Eternal Seal, creating a pinnacle-tier magic skill-Light-Dark Seals!"

Upon hearing the system's notification, a strange power surged through Owen. It felt like golden rays of light, but these rays carried an intricate sealing force-shifting and elusive, like light and shadow intertwined.

The fusion of Infinite Light and Eternal Seal was perfect, and Owen's new magical ability was unlike anything before.

The unique power flowing from Owen didn't go unnoticed. The Lord of Stars and the God of Light, Apollo, exchanged astonished glances.

How long had it been since they imparted their magic to Owen? And already, he had mastered it. From the aura radiating off of him, they could tell that not only had Owen grasped their respective universe-tier magics, but he had also fused them seamlessly. Even after millennia of studying these spells, neither the Lord of Stars nor Apollo could have achieved such a perfect combination.

Though the others present didn't know the specifics of what had just happened to Owen, they could tell from the reactions of the Lord of Stars and Apollo that Owen had successfully mastered the two universe-tier magics.

"So that's the difference between a genius and everyone else, huh?"

"Even if they placed universe-tier magic in front of us, we wouldn't be able to master it. Yet he succeeded so easily."

"It's clear that comparing ourselves to him would only make us miserable!"

Everyone was in awe, and their respect for Owen grew even more profound.

Owen, on the other hand, smiled as he became familiar with the fusion of the Light-Dark Seals. This new magic fit him perfectly, allowing him to wield a universe-tier spell with absolute precision and control. He could now unleash its full power, just as Apollo or the Lord of Stars could with their own spells.

It was astonishing, given the world-ending power that universe-tier magic possessed. In other words, with this spell, Owen could now stand his ground against celestial gods and even compete with ancient gods.

This was a tremendous gain!

Opening his eyes, Owen couldn't help but feel immense gratitude toward the Lord of Stars and Apollo. If the spells had been in the Fate Store, he probably wouldn't have had nearly enough fate points to purchase even a fraction of them.

"Thank you both, truly," Owen said sincerely. Without their guidance, his strength would not have surged so rapidly in such a short time.

"We only did what we had to. Your progress is due to your own talent and effort," the Lord of Stars and Apollo replied, their satisfaction with Owen evident in their eyes.

Owen's talent was truly extraordinary-he had transcended fate itself.

After a moment, Apollo spoke again, his tone thoughtful. "Owen, I've never fully understood Infinite Light as deeply as I do now. When my daughter returns, I hope you'll pass on what I've taught you to her."

Owen nodded seriously, accepting the responsibility.

Then he turned his gaze toward Leslie.

While Owen's breakthrough was important, what he truly valued was the realization that the best way to become stronger and surpass his limits was to forge his own unique path.

It was Leslie who had helped him understand this.

"Thank you for your guidance. Your path may not suit everyone, but it's perfect for me," Owen said, smiling.

Leslie smiled back, having anticipated this. Owen was different from others. Even before breaking through to god-tier, he had an inherent restlessness that drove him to seek his own path. Whether or not she had reminded him, she knew he would have reached the same conclusion eventually.

"You've never been content with being ordinary. You were always going to walk this road. It's a difficult one, but having you by my side is my greatest fortune," Leslie said with a gentle smile.

Their gazes met, creating an intimate moment that didn't go unnoticed by the others.

Those around them couldn't help but roll their eyes as they watched the scene unfold. Not only had Owen and Leslie outshone them in talent and strength, but they were also flaunting their love for each other. It felt like too much!

The God of Light, amused, teased, "I don't mind you two showing affection, but don't forget that once my daughter returns, you'll need to help lead the Rebellion Alliance."

Owen coughed awkwardly, about to respond, when suddenly his system chimed in.

"Hidden Task-Escort the Goddess of Beauty's Return. Complete the task to receive the Flame Sword!"

"Failure: No penalty."

"Do you accept the task?"

Owen's heart skipped a beat. He remembered the Flame Sword, a legendary weapon wielded by the fire giant Surtur. In the final battle of Ragnarok, Surtur had used this sword to set the entire world ablaze, reducing it to ashes.

That had been countless eras ago, back when humans were mere ants and the power of the heavens wasn't as dominant as it is now.

The Flame Sword was a weapon capable of burning entire worlds!

For the sake of obtaining this sword-and in gratitude for Apollo's kindness-Owen didn't hesitate to accept the task.

"Rest assured, as soon as your daughter returns, I'll ensure she joins the alliance."

Satisfied, the God of Light's remaining worries seemed to fade. He glanced over at the Lord of Stars and the War Goddess. Both had already resolved their regrets and were ready for the final confrontation.

"With the Millennial Cataclysm fast approaching, it's time for us to set out!" The three deities exchanged glances, then sounded the horn of gathering.

Leslie turned her gaze toward a distant, blurred figure-the Goddess of Beauty, Venus. Even though her features were hidden, the mere silhouette of Venus left Leslie feeling slightly dazed. It was clear that this goddess, true to her name, was incredibly beautiful and possessed unmatched talent.

A flicker of unease rose within Leslie. Venus gave off a vibe that felt all too familiar-similar

to her own.

Would Venus be a rival?

For a brief moment, Leslie wondered if she had just met a potential love rival. But the thought

quickly passed.

No matter how remarkable Venus was, Leslie was confident in herself. If Venus truly harbored feelings for Owen, she wouldn't hesitate to act.

A low rumble echoed as the horn blared, summoning the scattered ancient gods to gather. The resolve in their eyes grew stronger as their hesitation faded.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

They were ready for the worst. They were ready for the final battle.

As the gods gathered, factions across the realm turned their attention to the Star Realm. This time, as they rose to defy the heavens, they wondered how many gods would fall in the skies.

Under countless watchful eyes, a massive, ethereal gate at the edge of the sky slowly opened, pushed by an unseen force.

This was the fabled Gate of Gods and Demons.

It was also known as the Gate of Time and Space.

Hidden deep within the realm, the gate led to another world.

Entering through this gate would take them to the domain of the heavens.

The assault on the heavens had begun!

As the Lord of Stars and the others saw the gate open, their expressions turned serious.

"Gathering here to launch our final assault on the heavens, we will not stop until the heavens are destroyed! No retreat, no surrender!"

With these words, the assembled ancient gods roared in unison:

"No retreat! No surrender!"

"No retreat! No surrender!"

In the next moment, the Lord of Stars, the God of Light, and the War Goddess led the charge,

rushing into the immense gate standing between heaven and earth.

Though the gate wavered between reality and illusion, its ancient and awe-inspiring aura revealed its existence through countless eras.

It was within this gate that the heavens, their nemesis, awaited them.

Owen and the others followed, stepping into the Gate of Gods and Demons.

The closer they got, the heavier the oppressive atmosphere became.

In front of the gate, etched into the barrier of the void, were names written in blood, like

blood-stained banners waving in the wind.
