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

Chapter 522: Chapter518-Farewell, The Final Preparations



Although Leslie's hidden identity was extremely mysterious, Tsukihime and her companions knew of it.

Anyone closely tied to Tsukihime was someone they could easily deduce the identity of

through simple reasoning.

However, Lord of Stars and War Goddess ultimately chose to remain silent.@@novelbin@@

On one hand, Leslie's identity was not definitively confirmed, and they had no solid evidence to prove it.

On the other hand, Leslie was Owen's wife!

Until Owen himself spoke about it, they had no intention of mentioning this matter.

Otherwise, once this information was revealed-whether true or false-it would inevitably shake Pure Land and the Celestial!

This would be extremely detrimental to their morale!

Most importantly, they had received word from the Celestial that the Old One had been defeated.

Leslie, too, had evidently fallen in defeat. Bringing up her identity at this time would only bring them harm, not benefit.

"Where is Owen right now?"

Fire God and the other terrifying beings were unaware of Lord of Stars and War Goddess's thoughts. At this moment, they only wished to meet Owen as soon as possible and witness his presence firsthand!

As soon as Fire God voiced this question, he and the others suddenly sensed something, turning their gaze toward a certain point in the void.

From there, they could feel Owen's aura!

Owen's aura was not ostentatious, yet it was overwhelmingly powerful, exuding an oppressive force that was impossible to resist.

As their gazes pierced through space-time and locked onto Owen's, they saw the same curiosity reflected in his eyes.

Fire God was the first to nod in acknowledgment toward Owen's direction.

To him, Owen's talent was terrifying, and the sheer pressure emanating from him was nearly unbearable. This was enough to prove that Lord of Stars and War Goddess were not exaggerating-Owen's talent was truly unprecedented in all of history!

Both Trickster Lord and Soul Beast also nodded toward Owen as they sensed the dreadful aura surrounding him.

Even though they were only observing him across space, their instincts screamed at them— Owen was a mortal threat!

If they were to face Owen one-on-one, they would undoubtedly perish!

This was what their intuition told them.

Owen's strength was beyond theirs!

Although they had just emerged from Pantheon, only to have the spotlight stolen from them, Fire God and the others were not upset.

They had long reached their bottlenecks, unable to advance any further. But now, seeing a rising powerhouse like Owen, they finally saw a real hope of defeating the Celestial.

At the same time, their resolve to annihilate the Celestial and reshape the world only grew stronger!

"Owen... This time, fighting alongside him, we will absolutely not lose!"

Fire God and the others exchanged glances, flames burning within them, dark energy rolling skyward!

"This time, we will be Owen's vanguard, testing the Celestial's current strength!"

"Let's go. This might be our last time in this world. We have no other choice and no retreat!"

Standing at the front, Lord of Stars and War Goddess raised their heads, staring furiously toward the Celestial.

Seeing their intense determination, Fire God and the others were slightly puzzled.

"We're just setting out like this? Shouldn't we wait for Owen to act together with us?"

To them, Owen was the key to this battle. Without him, they had almost no chance of winning!

However, they did not question further-this was likely part of Owen's plan.

After all, at this moment, they were most likely under the Celestial's watchful eye!

If they exposed too many details of their plan too early, it would put them at a great disadvantage.

"For now, all we need to do is trust Owen-believe that he will bring us victory!"

Among the many deities gathered here, a powerful faith began to take root.

After leaving Pantheon, they headed straight for the God of Deities' Gate.

This grand gate was covered in countless engravings and names.

As the deities entered the God of Deities' Gate, more and more divine beings from different factions joined the Crusade Army!

They all knew that the Celestial intended to erase this world.

Since that was the case, they had to strike now, before the Celestial could fully recover-this was their best chance.

They were fighting for their own survival!

Every deity who joined the Rebel Alliance entered with a do-or-die mentality.

They knew that if they failed to stop the Celestial, they would all be doomed!

As more and more deities stepped through the God of Deities' Gate, top figures from various factions observed in secret.

After all, this battle would decide the fate of all living beings.

Meanwhile, in the Small World

Owen was not looking at the God of Deities' Gate.

Instead, his gaze was locked onto the flourishing starry river growing within this Small World.

The river of stars shimmered brilliantly, filled with a dense, pure stellar force!

As Owen stared into the cosmic expanse, Venus approached him, her gaze deep and

contemplative.

"Owen, I will be leaving soon."

As she spoke, a trace of reluctance flickered across her face, but her eyes remained resolute.

Some things had to be done personally.

Although at the moment of parting, she became even more certain of her intense emotions for Owen-her admiration and infatuation-

The looming threat of the Celestial weighed upon her like a blade at her throat, leaving her heart unable to settle.

So, she buried these emotions deep within herself, finding no reason to confess them to

Owen.

She remained silent for a moment.

But Owen did not respond-he seemed completely immersed in his own world.

Venus sighed softly in regret.

At such a crucial moment, she wished for Owen's attention and comfort.

Even a single word of encouragement from him could have become her unwavering belief.

But since Owen remained silent, she saw no reason to linger.

With a faint smile, she cast one final glance at Owen's resolute, proud profile.

Etching his image deep into her soul, never to be forgotten, Venus turned toward little Leslie

nearby.

She waved at the child before leaving the Small World.

Watching Venus depart, little Leslie also felt reluctant, waving her hand in farewell.

"Aunt Venus, we will definitely meet again!"

Perhaps out of guilt for attacking Owen before, or perhaps simply because she liked little Leslie, Venus had treated the child exceptionally well, and little Leslie had noticed.

Hearing the child's words, Venus's nose tingled with emotion.

She gave a final nod to little Leslie before turning away and leaving without hesitation.

Other women in the Small World, including Madelyn, Rachel, and Ymir, also waved goodbye

to her.

Their expressions were complicated.

And just as Venus was about to completely leave the Small World, Owen's voice suddenly

echoed in her ears.

"Venus, if fate allows it, we will meet again."

The moment she heard those words, countless emotions surged within her!

She knew Owen was not a heartless man.

But he was right-there were still things to be done.

If they were truly fated, they would meet again.

With no hesitation, Venus rushed toward the God of Deities' Gate.

Her father, God of Light, was still missing.

Even if it cost her life, she had to rescue him!

After Venus left, the atmosphere in the Small World grew heavy.

Whether it was the sorrow of parting or the mounting pressure from the Celestial, everyone

felt uneasy.

Only when they looked toward Owen did their restless hearts finally calm.

As if seeing an unshakable pillar of strength.

"Owen, when are we entering the God of Deities' Gate?"

Ymir and the others asked curiously.

More and more deities were heading toward the gate.

They, too, wanted to contribute.

Madelyn, however, was sure of one thing-

Owen would enter the Celestial.

And it wouldn't be long. Because Leslie was there. And Owen would go to her.
