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

Chapter 323: Chapter320-Owen Awakens



As soon as these words were spoken, Madelyn immediately felt the strange thoughts arising among many people in the hall. She scolded, "Enough! Nidhogg, you are clearly a coward, speaking boldly here? And how much credibility does your so-called investigation report have?"

Nidhogg replied dismissively, "Madelyn, you don't have to believe me. After all, you're Owen and Leslie's sister; you wouldn't risk your life, but we cannot!"

"I don't care what others think; from this moment on, I declare that the Emberveil Kingdom and the Azure Kingdom have completely severed ties!"

Nidhogg had actually declared treason openly!

The people in the hall stared at him in shock.

Although ten years had passed, their previous allegiance to Owen and Leslie remained etched in their minds. Once they joined the Azure Kingdom, they would be part of it forever and would follow Owen and Leslie's orders! They particularly remembered Leslie's warning: if anyone attempted to leave after overcoming the Great Calamity, they would be mercilessly killed!

Madelyn was furious at Nidhogg's words about leaving the Azure Kingdom, her chest heaving as she questioned him repeatedly, "Who helped you survive the death crisis of Epoch's End before?!"

"Who helped you consolidate resources and aided your training?"

"Nidhogg, you are a traitor with a wolf's heart!"

Unable to hold back her anger, Madelyn berated him.

Nidhogg, however, ignored her questions and scanned the hall, saying, "If any of you wish to leave, you are welcome to join us in the Emberveil Kingdom. A bright future awaits you!"

After speaking, he turned and left the hall with his eight generals.

The others in the hall exchanged glances, feeling their united resolve being forcibly torn apart!

...

Meanwhile, inside the small world, the space-time was transforming every moment.

Rachel remained in meditation, aware of the turmoil caused by Nidhogg. She knew this situation would have far-reaching consequences. If left unchecked, it would deal a devastating blow to the Azure Kingdom. However, Nidhogg's strength was overwhelming, and many felt powerless to stop him.

Rachel sighed softly, contemplating how Owen and Leslie would react when they awoke to find the Azure Kingdom in such disarray.

At that moment, Seraphina, nestled in her arms, stirred and suddenly looked towards where Owen and Leslie sat, exclaiming, "Master! It's the Master! He's finally awake!"

Hearing Seraphina's increasingly high-pitched voice, Rachel hurriedly followed her gaze and saw Owen and Leslie, who had kept their eyes closed, suddenly open them.

A hint of profound weariness flashed deep within their eyes, starkly contrasting with their ages. It seemed as if they had experienced countless trials and transformations over the past decade.

Just meeting their gaze caused Rachel to feel a significant disturbance in her spirit, as if her senses had dulled considerably.

Under Rachel and Seraphina's watchful eyes, Owen and Leslie, who had just opened their eyes, paused for a moment before fully awakening from the endless cycle they had endured.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

With the aid of the Fiery Prism, they had undergone countless remarkable reincarnations.

In one life, Owen and Leslie transformed into two mountain tigers, hunting in the wilderness and growing stronger until they became the supreme beings among spellbeasts.

In another life, they became assassins who loved and fought each other, originally bitter enemies who ultimately united through love.

In yet another life, they had a significant age difference and were viewed by many as an incestuous relationship between grandfather and granddaughter...

Endless cycles, countless possibilities-they had taken on many unfamiliar identities, yet their connection remained deeply familiar, always finding their way back to each other after traversing numerous hardships.

Particularly in their last life, Owen and Leslie were both young nobles who had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, eventually coming together and having a beautiful baby girl-little Leslie!

Owen had named her that because she resembled Leslie not only in appearance but also in character. However, perhaps due to his influence, she had lost much of her coldness and gained warmth instead.

As they grew alongside little Leslie, their understanding and cultivation accelerated immensely!

Unfortunately, their time with her was cut short as the cycle came to an end.

Even though the cycle had finished, the image of little Leslie's adorable face lingered in Owen's mind.

He glanced at Leslie, noticing tears at the corners of her eyes.

This was the first time Owen had seen Leslie cry!

Clearly, she was also saddened by little Leslie's disappearance, having nurtured her for so long during their reincarnation.

"Leslie, are you... okay?"

Rachel was taken aback by the sight of tears streaming down Leslie's face and couldn't help

but ask.

After all, Leslie had always been seen as a tough person!

She never complained, never cried, and never gave up!

But now, she was in tears!

Leslie regained her composure and wiped away the tears, calmly asking Rachel, "How long have we been in seclusion?"

Seeing Leslie's reluctance to elaborate, Rachel answered earnestly, "Ten years; it has been a

full decade!"

"Ten years?"

Owen and Leslie exchanged shocked and bewildered glances.

They had never spent ten years in their previous training combined, yet now, a single period of seclusion had caused such a profound passage of time.

Seraphina rushed over excitedly and affectionately rubbed her face against Owen's.

Owen held her in his arms for a moment before asking, "How has Azure Kingdom been during these ten years?"

The Azure Kingdom was the starting point for his campaign against The Celestial, of utmost

importance.

Rachel's expression turned grave at his question. "Not good! Since your seclusion, the

situation in the Azure Kingdom has deteriorated!"

Without delay, she summarized the events that had transpired over the past decade,

especially under Owen and Leslie's increasingly icy stares.

"So, you're saying the main root of Azure Kingdom's instability now lies with that Nidhogg?"

Owen asked gravely after listening.

Rachel nodded. "Yes, since he took control of the Macedonian Kingdom, he has instructed his generals to seize resources from other kingdoms and factions!"

"I remember the prince of the Macedonian Kingdom is Henry. Where is he now?" Owen frowned, recalling his deep impression of Henry, who had been the first among many prisoners from Middle Earth to pledge loyalty to him and had performed well thereafter. "Henry died during his training due to a deviation; Madelyn suspects he was involved, but there is no evidence. However, his subsequent wild actions suggest he had strong motives," Rachel explained, looking at Owen.

A glint of killing intent flashed in Owen's eyes. "Do we have detailed information on this

Nidhogg?"

Daring to act like a clown while he was away, Owen wanted to know exactly what this man was

capable of!

"Nidhogg is a genius from the previous era, now awakened. Harnessing primal elements, he has advanced rapidly, achieving the special Body of the Arcane God, reaching the level of God Emperor. Among God Emperors, he is considered a formidable force!"

"Empires that were previously robbed by him have banded together to confront him, but he

repelled them all."

"Additionally, the eight generals he has promoted all possess special bloodlines, their combat power is incredibly terrifying, trained like savage beasts. Much of the internal turmoil within the Azure Kingdom stems from them!"

"And Nidhogg seems particularly interested in Madelyn..."

Rachel detailed Nidhogg's situation to Owen.

Both Owen and Leslie remained calm until Rachel mentioned Nidhogg's fixation on Madelyn.

Their killing intent surged explosively!

Rachel felt a chilling wind blowing through her bones, causing her to shudder involuntarily.

From her understanding of Owen and Leslie, once they set their sights on someone, it was essentially a death sentence!
