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

Chapter 256: Chapter255-The Dark God Legion



At this moment, John stood in midair, glaring down at Owen, who was standing amidst the ruins below.

The sudden punch Owen threw appeared to grow larger and larger in John's eyes. A distorted imprint of a fist expanded in the sky, its ridges and fingerprints clear and distinct, as if it were a giant fist embodying the will of heaven and earth.

Merely gazing at this punch and the overwhelming pressure emanating from it made John feel as if the heavens and earth were spinning, and his perception of yin and yang was reversing.

It felt as if Owen were towering high above in the heavens, while he himself was reduced to nothing but dirt.

"What terrifying fist intent!"

John shuddered involuntarily, murmuring instinctively, but he quickly snapped back to his senses. The pure mana contained within the remains of the Dark God coalesced before him, forming a shriveled black finger.

Dark God Finger-commanding heaven and earth!

Boom! Boom!

With a flick of his finger, the void trembled, and cracks radiated outward from the rapidly expanding black finger.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

For a brief moment, countless shadowy silhouettes of the Dark God appeared behind the finger.

Then, the finger and the fist collided in mid-air.

Bang!

The Heaven Emperor Fist was upright and domineering, a peerless display of power like a blinding sun-unapproachable, unstoppable!

The moment the Dark God Finger touched the Heaven Emperor Fist, it began to shudder violently before being crushed into black specks of light, dissipating into the air.

The countless shadows of the Dark God behind the black finger screamed in agony, like they were being incinerated in flames, and vanished in terror.

The mighty attack of the Dark God Finger was shattered by Owen in an instant, causing John's eyes to widen in disbelief. The backlash from the broken technique sent blood spraying from his mouth. His entire body seemed to dim, the crimson hue on his skin fading noticeably.

This finger strike was amplified greatly by a secret technique, yet it had no effect?

As John's mind reeled from the shock, the Heaven Emperor Fist that had crushed the Dark God Finger continued its advance.

John hadn't even had time to erect a defense before the enormous, mountain-like fist slammed heavily into his body.

His skin, toughened by various forbidden arts, cracked open like a fragile piece of porcelain, with web-like fissures spreading across his frame.

The impact sent him flying backward once more. Blood sprayed from his ruptured wounds, raining down across the battlefield like a gruesome shower.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

John's body skidded across the ground like a stone skipping over water, sliding for several hundred meters before finally coming to a stop.

At this moment, his hair was disheveled, his body riddled with lacerations. Every slight movement brought the sound of bones grinding against one another.

He spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his eyes turned completely black, devoid of any whites.

Owen immediately closed in, sensing that John had been severely wounded by the Heaven Emperor Fist and was ready to press the advantage and finish him off.

But just as he was about to strike-

A sinister smile tugged at the corners of John's mouth. Then a strange, inhuman laughter erupted from his lips.

The next moment, the skin on John's body began to bulge irregularly, forming numerous hideous, terrifying faces.

"Yes, yes, that's it. Embrace us, let all demons become one!"

"Then, you will have infinite power!"

"Then, you will annihilate the enemy who stands before you!"

As the faces emerged grotesquely on John's skin, they all began chattering incessantly. Their voices were hoarse and miserable, as if they came from some ancient, distant past.

Just hearing these chaotic murmurs made Owen's mind go blank momentarily, feeling as if he were being pulled away from reality.

"Take it all!"

"Take everything!"

"Everything you want, it's all yours!"

"Just kill Owen!"

"Kill Owen, and I'll give it all to you!"

Amidst the cacophony of voices, John's own tone rang clear-a blend of desperation and madness, dripping with venomous hatred.

He had already used many of his trump cards, but none of them had so much as ruffled Owen's clothes, let alone harmed him.

He knew that the gap between them was too vast.

The same gap that he once believed existed between Owen and himself.

If conventional means wouldn't work, then he would embrace complete insanity!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill him!"

The moment John's cry echoed, the previously chaotic voices unified. All the grotesque faces on his skin turned their attention toward Owen, screaming in unison.

Instantly, Owen felt a pain like a thousand arrows piercing his heart. It was as if he were not facing just John, but an entire army of Dark Gods, lost to the sands of time!

In the brief moment that Owen was caught off guard, John's body-covered in twisted faces- erupted with unprecedented power, and a dark, sinister aura surged out of him, filling the air with a nauseating stench.

He curled his fingers, transforming them into sharp, clawed talons, and swung down toward

Owen's neck!

Slash!

The sound of tearing air filled the void as five black, twisted scars were left in its wake, with dark mist billowing from the gashes.

Caught off guard, Owen's neck was immediately slashed open, five deep gashes bleeding profusely, and the remaining black mist in the wounds tried to burrow deeper into his flesh.

The searing pain at his throat jolted Owen back to his senses. The Order of Life glowed softly, dispelling the invading dark mist and healing his injuries.

As John's clawed talons descended once more, Owen's body suddenly swelled with power- the force of Obsidify and his Dharma Form!

Slash!

John's claws struck Owen's massive, stone-like body, leaving white streaks on its surface, but

failing to penetrate.

Taking advantage of the impact, Owen's now-enlarged form rapidly retreated, temporarily widening the distance between himself and John.

Seeing Owen pull back, John did not pursue. Instead, he lifted his blood-stained right hand, extending his tongue to lick Owen's blood off it, a look of intense satisfaction spreading

across his face.

"What a delectable taste-pure mana, like drinking fine wine!"

The countless Dark God faces on his skin all licked their lips excitedly, their throats trembling

as if ravenous for more.

"Eat him!"

"Eat him!"

With the chorus of Dark Gods chanting, the black mist surrounding John thickened, forming a

towering plume of smoke.

Spurred by the taste of Owen's blood, John grew even more frenzied, his figure flickering as he appeared behind Owen in an instant, moving at a speed beyond belief.

With the Dark Gods lending their power, John's strength had reached unimaginable heights.

Even Owen had difficulty tracking his movements. It wasn't until John materialized behind him, with a surge of killing intent, that Owen could react, spinning around and launching a

powerful punch infused with the Dharma Form's power.

"Too slow!"

"You're way too slow!"

John sneered maliciously, taunting him, and then vanished again.

"Right now, you're nothing but a pitiful plaything!"

His voice echoed behind Owen, but his claws struck from above, aiming to pierce Owen's skull

and rip it open.

"Is that so? I think it's time to end this."

Owen's eyes grew cold as Mana Void spread out in an instant!

A dark domain expanded, and John immediately sensed the impending danger, attempting to

retreat.

But just as he began to pull back, the domain engulfed him!

He tried to summon his own Dark God Domain to resist, but he was too slow. The mana within

his body evaporated in an instant.

Prepared for this moment, Owen unleashed a devastating punch aimed at John's head.

Empowered by the Dharma Form, Owen's massive frame loomed over John, whose mana had been sealed, making him appear minuscule in comparison.

The punch landed squarely on him, and the countless faces covering John's body let out a

chorus of wretched screams before the dark mist exploded, creating a massive shockwave.

The lethal punch was partially deflected by the explosive backlash, reducing its force significantly. John took this opportunity to widen the distance further and, with the help of the other Dark God faces, gradually reactivated his Dark God Domain.
