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

Chapter 360: Chapter356-Catch Me, and I'll Make You My Second Wife



Above Skyline Gorge, the terrifying shockwaves of battle continued to spread like apocalyptic ripples, each wave more intense than the last, shattering the void around Skyline Gorge like fragile glass.

Under these devastating waves, the mages who had already retreated several miles were forced to fall back another dozen miles, their faces pale with terror and disbelief.

Were it not for the unique environment of Skyline Gorge, protected by The Celestial's [Order], the sheer energy from this clash would have leveled the area entirely, causing unimaginable casualties among the onlookers.

Such was the power of top-tier mages from leading factions, wielding what could be described as the pinnacle of combat strength.

At this moment, the Jade Dragon's projection, infused with most of Ysera's mana and mind power, was poised to deliver a fatal blow to the Lord of the Celestial God Palace.

Though the Lord of the Celestial God Palace was affected by Ysera's innate Mana Disruption ability, her Thunder Staff's power allowed her to hold her ground, remaining evenly matched.

Just then, Owen, hidden within the void, grew tense.

He recalled how, in the original anime storyline, at the critical moment when victory or death was about to be decided, a third party-Flora-launched a surprise attack.

Boom!

Another wave of wild mana erupted.

Both Ysera and the Lord of the Celestial God Palace trembled under the impact. The divine artifacts they wielded dimmed slightly, their brilliance fading.

Overall, Ysera fared better, while blood faintly trickled from the corner of the Lord of the Celestial God Palace's lips.

Their auras wavered, signaling the moment of truth. Victory was imminent for one of them.

But at that moment, a fiery, ghostly figure appeared between Ysera and the Lord of the Celestial God Palace.

Wielding a massive black greatsword that seemed to swallow the abyss itself, the figure unleashed a tidal wave of energy, striking both combatants heavily.

Caught off guard as they were wholly focused on each other's attacks, the two women spat blood and were sent flying, plummeting into Skyline Gorge.

Seeing this, Owen's heart initially leapt with joy-everything was proceeding as planned. However, his expression quickly changed when he noticed something was off.

The locations where Ysera and the Lord of the Celestial God Palace were falling didn't align with his earlier calculations!

As Owen gripped his Godslayer Sword, preparing to adjust the situation, Flora began her slaughter.

With her black greatsword, she unleashed bone-chilling winds, destroying not only the nearby Wind Shadow mages but also the recording stones they carried.

Owen frowned deeply. If she wasn't stopped, his entire plan would be ruined.

"Flora!"

Just as Flora turned her attention to Kawa Zang and the remaining Wind Shadow mages who had narrowly survived, she heard her name being called loudly.

Startled, Flora froze for a moment. She had meticulously planned this ambush-how had someone discovered her?

Before she could react further, Owen, concealed in the void, struck. A brilliant sword light streaked toward her throat.

Frowning, Flora deflected the strike but was forced back several steps.

While she readied herself to finish off Kawa Zang and the others, they had used the

opportunity to escape with the rest of the Wind Shadow faction.

Though the Wind Shadow mages lacked combat prowess, their ability to flee was unparalleled. In mere moments, they had vanished dozens of miles away.

"Who are you?!"

Furious that her targets had slipped away, Flora's eyes scanned the surroundings for the one who had sabotaged her plans.

But no matter how hard she searched, the person who had attacked her was nowhere to be found.

"Damn you! If I catch you, I'll flay you alive!"

Her cold, venomous voice echoed through the void.

Meanwhile, Owen was already speeding toward the area where Ysera and the Lord of the Celestial God Palace had fallen.

If their landing spots diverged too much from his plan, all his prior arrangements would be for nothing.

Owen's incredible speed allowed him to spot the falling figures of Ysera and the Lord of the Celestial God Palace within a single breath.

Just then, Owen felt a chill down his spine. Looking back, he saw Flora pursuing him, her fiery figure radiating murderous intent.

"She's lost it," Owen thought, frowning.

As the mastermind behind the current events, he couldn't believe she had chosen to chase him instead of retreating.

Both Ysera and the Lord of the Celestial God Palace were paramount to their respective factions. Their duel had already drawn the attention of their strongest allies, who would be converging on this location shortly.

The longer they lingered, the greater the danger.

Just as Owen was pondering how to shake Flora off, a gust of icy wind blew past, realigning the two falling figures toward their intended destinations.

"Leslie!"

Recognizing the aura of the one who had intervened, Owen breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the situation hadn't spiraled out of control. Without this adjustment, his foresight ability would have been rendered useless.

Without hesitation, Owen turned and raced toward the Lord of the Celestial God Palace's

landing site, leaving Ysera to Leslie.

Seeing Owen change direction, Flora's murderous aura intensified. Refusing to let him go, she prepared to strike again.

Just as she was about to catch up, an overwhelming chill pierced her soul. She instinctively looked up and froze.

Before her was an awe-inspiring, colossal figure that seemed to occupy the entire sky,

blocking all paths forward.

This entity exuded an unparalleled aura, as if it were a supreme existence spanning eons.

Flora's instincts screamed that she was no match for this being.

Her hands tightened around her survival scrolls and staff, but in the next instant, the figure vanished as if it had never existed.

Relieved, Flora realized the figure had only served as a warning, not an aggressor.

After all, mages from the Emerald Dreamscape and the Celestial God Palace were converging rapidly, drawn by the commotion. This figure likely didn't wish to be directly involved in the

storm.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

By the time Flora regained her composure, the figure that had attacked her had disappeared. Yet she noticed its final trajectory led toward the Lord of the Celestial God Palace's landing

site.

Grinding her teeth, Flora rushed in that direction, rage burning brightly in her heart.

She had never suffered such humiliation or fallen victim to such manipulation.

Today, she vowed to utterly crush the one who had thwarted her plans.

Meanwhile, at the base of Skyline Gorge

The area below was a lush forest, one of the Forbidden Zones of the Pure Land. Rumors spoke

of an unknowable entity within this forest, capable of killing even god-tier mages.

The forest's eternal greenery radiated a strange vitality, but Owen knew little about the place

beyond its reputation.

Within its depths lay a tomb, said to hold an unspeakable power.

As Owen scanned his surroundings, a fiery streak shot down from above-Flora was still in

hot pursuit, her speed astonishing.

Owen shook his head slightly, then smirked as an idea formed.

He dove into the forest, stopping before a towering tree. With his Godslayer Sword, he carved

some words into its bark.

After reading his inscription, Owen nodded in satisfaction and vanished.

When Flora arrived, her sharp gaze swept the oppressive forest, seeking Owen's lingering

aura.

Yet his trail suddenly vanished.

"Coward! Too scared to face me directly?!"

Her furious roar echoed through the forest.

Then, as her eyes caught the carved words on the tree, she froze.

The inscription read:

"Since you love chasing me so much, keep going. People who admire me could form a line

around the planes. Catch me, and I'll make you my second wife!"
