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

To them, the so-called prodigies and powerful beings are ultimately nothing more than dust in the universe!

And they are immortal and indestructible!

This is an essential difference!

Time?

The Celestial?

The things all beings fear, they do not even care about!

Even if Leslie is dazzling enough to wipe out several throne-level celestial gods in one strike, creating a record,

This is nothing compared to the ancient gods!

At this moment, almost no mage believes she can succeed, mainly because the Forbidden Zone is too terrifying!

Meanwhile, in the Alchemy Guild,

The God of Alchemy, dressed in a golden robe, his expression solemn, is gazing seriously at the place where the Emerald Dreamscape resides.

A hint of contemplation appears on his face.

He too has just received the latest news about Leslie.

He hadn't expected that after only recently returning through the Time Array, he would witness a historic moment!

Beside the God of Alchemy, Venus, dressed in a white silk gown, as ethereal as mist, stands quietly.

Although silent, as the Goddess of Beauty, her demeanor and appearance possess an enchanting allure.

Every subtle gesture captivates those around her.

Next to Venus stands Vanessa, a young girl dressed in splendid jewelry, radiating wealth and luxury.

She is the daughter of the God of Alchemy, and the eldest lady of the Alchemy Guild.

Though Vanessa is not young, she has lived a carefree life under the God of Alchemy's favor, retaining a somewhat childish nature.

Compared to Venus, she carries more youthful energy and vitality.

The golden alchemical symbol on her forehead enhances her noble aura, like a princess of great stature.

"Really, Venus sister? Did Owen really reject you and even slap you twice?"

At this moment, Vanessa stares in disbelief at Venus.

She has some understanding of Venus—her appearance, background, and strength—all make her a top choice.

How could Owen coldly reject her without any regard?

Venus, upon hearing this, has a momentary flash of Leslie's figure in her mind.

Though most people consider her the epitome of perfection, deserving of the title Goddess of Beauty,

Before meeting Leslie, she thought the same about herself.

But after meeting Leslie, her heart was deeply shaken.

Everything she took pride in was crushed in front of Leslie!

With someone like Leslie around, she now understands why Owen didn't choose her.

It's simply because Leslie is too outstanding.

Vanessa had been expecting Venus to retort,

But to her surprise, Venus remains silent, her face showing a hint of frustration and defeat.

Seeing this, Vanessa seems to have an idea, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"So, Venus sister, is Leslie really as powerful as the rumors say?"

She knows Venus's pride.

What kind of woman could make her feel defeated?

Venus shakes her head. "Leslie's power might be even greater than the rumors suggest."

Vanessa furrows her brows. "If Leslie is so powerful, then how can you win Owen?"

The God of Alchemy, seeing this, frowns at his daughter.

Venus is clearly in an emotional state, and pushing her like this is clearly not appropriate.

But Venus remains indifferent, not taking Vanessa's words to heart.

She knows that Vanessa has been spoiled since childhood, so it's normal for her to have such a personality.

Since she's a junior, there's no need for her to get upset over her words.

Still, Vanessa's words do hold some truth.

Seeing that Venus is not angry, Vanessa seems to think of something and suddenly asks,

"Venus sister, if Leslie is around, what are my chances of marrying Owen?"

Previously, she had spent a great deal of money offering a bounty for Owen.

But now, with Owen's strength, no other mage could deal with him.

Offering a bounty is nothing more than a joke.

Venus's expression instantly freezes.

She has heard of Vanessa's actions.

She was going to say that there's no chance—after all, in terms of appearance, background, and strength, she's far superior to Vanessa.

If she herself doesn't stand a chance, then Vanessa certainly doesn't.

But she can't be so cold-hearted, so she slowly replies, "Why don't you try confessing to Owen yourself and see?"

Vanessa nods, agreeing with Venus's suggestion.

Rather than talking about it, it's better to try it herself!

"When Owen returns, I'll go personally and give it a try!"

After saying this, she looks at her own figure.

Although she is a woman, she's been around many men and knows exactly what they value.

With her figure, who could resist her?

If she uses a little charm, Owen will surely fall for her!

Venus, seeing this, knows exactly what Vanessa is thinking.

For a moment, she imagines Vanessa with Owen and feels a little uneasy.

Thinking that Vanessa might achieve what she couldn't, she becomes agitated!

After all, Vanessa may not be corrupted by the complexities of the world and remains pure-hearted, like a young girl.

Her youthful face, coupled with her devilish figure, is a great temptation to any man.

Vanessa is rare and exceptional, and she might indeed become Owen's confidante!

Thinking this, Venus becomes even more restless.

Later, Leslie calms her inner emotions and turns to the God of Alchemy, asking curiously,

"Do you have any news of Caesar? Where are the celestial gods who followed him?"

She knows that Caesar's plan has failed, but he certainly won't give up easily!

An even more terrifying plan must be in the works.

Her heart feels uneasy.

After returning to Pure Land, she had already shared Leslie's words with the Rebel Alliance.

This news caused quite a stir among them.

Only the celestial gods loyal to her and those under the God of Alchemy chose to submit.

Caesar and his celestial gods have completely disappeared, which is clearly suspicious!

And Leslie has already declared that Caesar must be eliminated!

Although Caesar is currently in hiding, Leslie's murderous intent is intense.

If this matter drags on for three more days, the Rebel Alliance will be ruthlessly purged by her.

The Rebel Alliance has carried the hopes of her father and many predecessors.

It must not be heavily damaged on her watch!

The God of Alchemy, sensing Venus's anxiety and unease, thinks for a moment and slowly responds,

"Perhaps you're right. The last news I received was that Caesar went to the Abandoned Lands!"

Upon hearing this, Venus's heart immediately trembles, unable to believe her ears!

"Has Caesar gone mad? The Abandoned Lands? Even The Celestial dare not approach it easily, and it seals the dark side of the world. How could he dare to go there?"

Very few people know about the Abandoned Lands.

The forces of yin and yang in the entire dimension are essentially the same, dependent on each other.

The dark forces that existed back then were sustained by the growing power of The Celestial, who paid a great cost to seal them, naming it the Abandoned Lands!

In this era, very few know of the Abandoned Lands, and even fewer know its location.

But Caesar, this guy, has actually gone there.

The dark forces there must have gathered into a force comparable to an ancient god's post-natal strength!

Even the Forbidden Zone cannot compare to this special place.

After all, it gathers the darkest sides of all beings!

In the past, many powerful beings ran riot in the dark side, and the Sun God and the Lord of Stars once fought them.

Even in their prime, they could barely match the dark forces that were not yet fully gathered...
