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

Chapter 230: Chapter230-"Teach Me a Lesson? Are You Worthy?"



Amidst the ruins, not only were the other mages left dumbfounded, but even the Three Kings, who had always stood firmly behind Owen, found themselves nearly petrified.

These fearless individuals, usually unshaken by anything, were stunned.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Holy crap, he actually dared to curse out the God Kings like that. That's badass!"

"Though this will completely enrage the Three God Kings and is basically a death wish, I have to say, those insults were perfect. You can't be both a whore and expect praise!"

The Three Kings exchanged glances, feeling like they were seeing Owen for the first time. Owen had done what they had wanted to but never dared.

Although it was certainly a suicidal move, their admiration for him surged. For sheer courage alone, they felt unworthy in comparison.

In the sky above, the three God Kings were visibly shaken by Owen's words.

The mana around them surged like an erupting volcano.

Sophia, the Cardinal of the Truth Church, reacted immediately, sending a slap hurtling toward Owen's face.

"Shut your mouth!"

"You insolent brat! How dare you be so arrogant and disrespectful!"

"As your elder, today I will teach you a lesson in how to behave!"

The massive ethereal hand ripped through the void, appearing before Owen with unimaginable speed.

It carried an explosive amount of compressed mana, a force strong enough to shatter mountains.

If it landed on Owen's face, his cheek would be pulverized entirely.

Everyone held their breath.

The God King's strike was so fast that most couldn't even perceive it.

It seemed inevitable that the slap would land on Owen, giving him no chance to dodge.

Even the Three Kings, despite wanting to help, couldn't react fast enough.

They sensed the impending danger, but fear and anxiety kept them rooted in place.

Owen, too, felt a deep sense of impending doom, as if Death had locked onto him. Yet his expression remained cold.

"Heh, teach me how to behave? Are you even worthy?"

As soon as Owen's words fell, the Guardian Shield reappeared, covering him once again. Boom!

The slap, quick as lightning, crashed against the Guardian Shield.

Though it was merely a casual attack from a God King, the force was far more powerful than even the Pyrothrone King's strongest strike.

A normal artifact would have been obliterated under such a blow.

However, the Guardian Shield was special, ignoring the vast difference in power levels, it absorbed the strike and rebounded it back with even greater speed and force!

Smack!

A heavy thud echoed from the sky, and the Cardinal's body visibly trembled.

What?!

The sudden turn of events was so abrupt that no one had processed what had happened in that brief moment.

But one thing was clear: despite the God King's furious strike, Owen had taken no damage!

He had withstood a strike from a God King with a mortal body!

"What the heck? How did Master Owen do that? That was a God King's strike!"

"Master Owen is incredible! I knew he was capable of miracles!"

"Didn't you say just a moment ago that Master Owen was definitely doomed?"

*Cough* "You must've misheard. I've been a die-hard fan of Master Owen for ten years!"

Many people were shocked by the scene before them.

That wasn't a god-tier mage, but a God King, a being who commanded worship and reverence!

Even the strongest god-tier mage couldn't be certain of surviving a strike from a God King!

Yet, Owen had blocked it. His strength seemed bottomless.

"If I had known Master Owen was this strong, I wouldn't have worried about him at all!" "Pfft! So what if he blocked one strike? His power only makes the God Kings' killing intent toward him grow stronger!"

"Exactly! Plus, it seems Owen relied on the Godslayer Staff to defend himself, so it's not his own power. If he could block a God King's strike with his own strength, I'd do a handstand while shitting!"

While most cheered, amazed at Owen's unfathomable strength, others, though shocked, felt that Owen's end was still inevitable.

Owen, however, ignored the muttering of the crowd. He raised his head, looking at the Cardinal with disdain and said,

"Do you really need to get beaten before admitting you're here to steal something?"

Stella God Gabriel's cold voice echoed through the skies.

A chilling wind spread out, as if winter had suddenly descended, freezing the very air.

"And so what if we are?"

"What right do you have to bark at us?"

"The Godslayer Staff may help you for a moment, but it can't protect you forever!"

As his voice rang out, a black spear suddenly appeared in Owen's vision, expanding rapidly like a bolt of lightning.

The speed of the spear far surpassed the slap from earlier, and its power was even more terrifying.

The sharp tip of the black spear pierced through space, warping Owen's vision into complete

darkness.

It felt as though this spear had become the Grim Reaper, and Owen could smell the thick scent of blood and death.

For a brief moment, he saw a vision of his own body being impaled.

Clang!

At the last possible moment, the Godslayer Staff once again transformed into the Guardian Shield, blocking the black spear's deadly thrust.

However, this was the third time Owen had forcefully activated the Guardian Shield, and its effectiveness had diminished.

It only managed to slow down the black spear before reverting back into the Godslayer Staff and retreating into Owen's body.

Without the protection of the Guardian Shield, Owen was left fully exposed to the black spear!

At that moment, every cell in Owen's body felt as though it was being gnawed on by countless

black ants.

In desperation, he activated Obsidify, along with the Order of Thunder, Order of Fire, and Order of Life—all of his techniques surged forth, creating a series of protective barriers in

front of him.

But these barriers, which could withstand god-tier mage attacks, were pierced by the spear's sharp energy before it even made contact.

It tore through them like arrows punching through paper.

Death loomed closer and closer.

Owen could only rely on his instincts to dodge at the last second.

Slash!

Though he dodged, the black spear still grazed his right arm, instantly shattering his bones

and spraying blood everywhere.

His arm hung limp, utterly destroyed, with flesh and bone torn apart.

This attack severely wounded Owen!

Countless people, witnessing this scene, felt their hearts in their throats.

Had blocking a single God King strike truly been Owen's limit?

As they saw the veins bulging on Owen's forehead and looked back at the cold figures of the

three God Kings in the sky, the bone dragon princess and Seraphina could no longer bear to

watch, their hearts breaking as they let out pained roars.

"Why?!"

"You're clearly after Big Brother's Godslayer Staff and his Supreme Order, so why do you get

to steal without reason?"

"Why do you attack him?!"

The bone dragon princess was livid, her face twisted with rage, while Seraphina's eyes were bloodshot, her fury nearly causing her chest to explode.

"Hmph! Annoying pests!"

Their roars were met only with cold indifference.

The voice struck like divine punishment, and both the bone dragon princess and Seraphina

were sent flying backward.

Their chests caved in as if struck by an immense force, vomiting blood as their internal organs

seemed to shatter.

Seeing this, Leslie, who had just rushed to Owen's side to support him, had a trace of madness

flash in her golden eyes.

"What about your plan? Act now! I want them to pay for this!"

Hearing Leslie's rage-filled cry, Owen's palm revealed the Black Origami Crane.

Staring at the black crane, Owen's eyes were also bloodshot.

"Screw those damned God Kings! Today, they all die!"

The Black Origami Crane flapped its wings gently, hovering above Owen's head. Then, a

seductive female voice echoed in Owen's mind. "Hehehe, the black rose shall bloom once more!"
