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

Chapter 356: Chapter352-Ysera’s Past



The elf queen's astonishment at their plan didn't prompt an explanation from Owen.

Instead, he focused on organizing all the information he had about Ysera in his mind. He vaguely remembered that the first time Ysera encountered Leslie was in the Sanctuaries during the period when she was embroiled in a fierce battle with the Lord of the Celestial God Palace.

At that time, Ysera, ruler of the Emerald Dreamscape, had clashed with Oliver, the Celestial God Palace's lord and another exceptional beauty, in Skyline Gorge.

Both women were renowned within the Sanctuaries not only for their immense strength as sky-tier mages but also for their stunning appearances, which made them objects of desire for countless admirers.

Their battle drew an enormous amount of attention. Numerous factions converged on the perilous Skyline Gorge to witness this monumental showdown between two of the Sanctuaries' most celebrated figures.

Both were top-tier sky-tier mages, and their fight turned the skies and earth upside down.

The two exhausted every trick in their arsenals, but the battle ultimately ended in a stalemate.

Just when both combatants believed they would fight another day, a mysterious figure appeared and struck them down into Skyline Gorge, an act that caught the attention of many.

Skyline Gorge was an exceedingly dangerous area, teeming with bizarre and ominous phenomena. Even sky-tier mages were subject to immense suppression and interference when they entered its depths.

As such, the disappearance of these two celestial beauties spurred countless individuals and factions to launch exhaustive searches for their whereabouts.

Ysera, by a stroke of fortune, was rescued by Leslie, who was training in the area at the time. Their first meeting took place deep within the Forbidden Zone of Skyline Gorge.

As for Oliver, her fate remained a mystery. After falling into the depths of Skyline Gorge, she vanished without a trace.

For years, there was no sign of her, leading to speculation that the Lord of the Celestial God Palace might have perished.

This mystery persisted, and even the original anime offered no resolution.

"Owen, is there anything else I should keep in mind?"

Leslie's question snapped Owen out of his brief reverie.

Taking a deep breath, he gently patted her hand, offering a reassuring glance before turning to the elf queen with a serious expression.

"Currently, has the conflict between the Emerald Dreamscape and the Celestial God Palace escalated?"

The elf queen wasn't sure what Owen was getting at, but she nodded nonetheless.

"If you're planning to take action now, it might be a good opportunity. The Emerald

Dreamscape and Celestial God Palace have already engaged in several large-scale clashes, and

it seems they're on the verge of a life-or-death confrontation."

"However, regardless of which side wins, launching an attack now wouldn't yield good results," she cautioned.

Owen's heart raced with excitement upon hearing this.

It seemed that the grand spectacle from the anime was about to unfold!

"Are you really planning to act?"

The elf queen's face paled as she asked, her voice laced with unease.

Leslie also looked at Owen, her expression contemplative.

While the Emerald Dreamscape and Celestial God Palace were clearly at odds, this didn't seem like an ideal time to strike.

However, judging by Owen's demeanor, he seemed to have a well-formed plan in mind.

Though she didn't yet understand it, his enthusiasm made her hopeful that it would be something extraordinary.

"When will the two factions engage in a large-scale battle? Tell me everything you know about their recent activities-leave nothing out!"

The elf queen frowned, clearly displeased with Owen's commanding tone.

However, Leslie's sharp gaze prompted her to comply.

With a reluctant sigh, she began, "From what I know, the two factions recently fought a major battle in Skyline Gorge, right on the border of their territories. Many powerful mages

perished, and even some sky-tier mages were severely injured."

"The battle caused massive ripples. Even though our dark elf territory is far from the battlefield, we could clearly feel the aftershocks of their confrontation."

"After that battle, both sides seemed to retreat and regroup, as it was a highly damaging conflict for both of them."

Listening to this, Owen became increasingly certain that the climactic battle in Skyline Gorge was about to begin.

For the Emerald Dreamscape, the loss of so many mages in the previous battle would make another large-scale confrontation with the Celestial God Palace devastating, even in victory. Thus, the two factions' leaders would likely settle the matter in a decisive duel.

"Excellent! Excellent! This is our chance!"

Owen's excitement got the better of him as he scooped Leslie into his arms and planted a kiss on her cheek.

Leslie, seeing Owen's almost childlike enthusiasm, couldn't help but smile, her mood brightened by his contagious joy.

In his elation, Owen quickly shared his plan with Leslie.

"In the coming days, we need to head to Skyline Gorge as quickly as possible. If all goes as I expect, Ysera of the Emerald Dreamscape will challenge the Lord of the Celestial God Palace to a duel there, culminating in a terrifying battle."

"And the result of their confrontation will be mutual destruction, with Ysera being knocked into the misty valley at the bottom of Skyline Gorge!"

"We'll set up in advance and wait for Ysera to fall. That's when we make our move."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After Owen finished explaining, both Leslie and the elf queen stared at him in disbelief.

How could he speak with such certainty, as if he had already witnessed the entire event?

"Are you serious?" the elf queen asked, wide-eyed.

Leslie, curious but less skeptical, inquired, "How do you know all this?"

While foreseeing the future wasn't entirely impossible, it was exceedingly rare and complex —especially when the events involved two sky-tier mages.

Even with the talent to glimpse the future, accurately predicting an event so monumental and so near was an extraordinary feat.

"It's simple," Owen replied with a grin. "I can see the future, so I know what's going to

happen."

While Owen technically couldn't foresee the future, his knowledge of the anime's storyline allowed him to anticipate events with uncanny precision.

"See the future?"

"Are you joking?"

The elf queen was visibly skeptical.

While she didn't doubt Owen's abilities or talent-after all, even the most gifted individuals couldn't compare to him-claiming to see the future seemed absurd.

Even the most powerful deities could only catch glimpses of possible futures, fragmented and

uncertain.

To describe events with such clarity and detail was utterly implausible-unless one had personally experienced them.

Leslie, on the other hand, trusted Owen implicitly.

She didn't need to know how he knew-his insights had never steered them wrong before.

The elf queen looked at Owen as though seeing him for the first time. "If you truly can foresee the future, doesn't that mean you're even more terrifying than a sky-tier mage?" Leslie shook her head. "If Owen were truly above the sky-tier level, we wouldn't need such elaborate plans. We could simply lead our armies straight into Emerald Dreamscape." While Emerald Dreamscape was formidable, it had no mages above the sky-tier level. If Owen were that powerful, there would be no need for caution.

Unlike the elf queen's doubts, Leslie had unwavering faith in Owen.

"Let's start preparing now," Owen concluded. "There isn't much time, and if we miss this

opportunity, we may never get another."

...

Time flew, and nearly a month passed in the blink of an eye.

By midday, after Owen and Leslie finalized their plans to attack the Sanctuaries, they ensured everything was ready before mobilizing their forces.

The first to act was the Shadow Clan.

They infiltrated dark elf territory and began probing Emerald Dreamscape and the Celestial

God Palace.

Their mission was to monitor the movements of both factions and report any developments

promptly.

This allowed Owen and Leslie to adjust their strategies in response to real-time intelligence.

Not long after Shadow Clan began their operation, shocking news reached Leslie and the elf

queen:

Ysera, ruler of the Emerald Dreamscape, had issued a duel invitation to the Lord of the

Celestial God Palace.

The duel's location? Skyline Gorge-just as Owen had predicted!

Both Leslie and the elf queen were astounded.

Reality was unfolding exactly as Owen had foreseen!
