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

Chapter 270: Chapter267-Owen’s Wedding Invitation



The Jade Dragon's rising anger instantly dissipated under a gentle pat from the Lord of Stars. Its enormous form shrank down to a size no bigger than a puppy's as it leapt into the Lord of Stars' embrace, looking utterly delighted.

"Master, you've finally awakened! I've been missing you so much I could hardly sleep..." the Jade Dragon exclaimed excitedly.

The Lord of Stars stroked its head with a rare smile. "The past is already behind us. From this moment on, Owen is our ally and friend."

Hearing its master mention this, the Jade Dragon snorted indignantly. "If they hadn't disturbed my slumber, I wouldn't have bothered with them in the first place. But since it's your order, I'll let bygones be bygones."

The Jade Dragon now appeared quite magnanimous, waving its claw dismissively.

Seeing this, Owen breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the key to unlocking the fifth seal of the Godslayer Staff was this Jade Dragon's scale. Without reconciling, obtaining the scale by force would have been impossible with his current strength.

Understanding Owen's intent, the Lord of Stars continued, "Hand over your reverse scale to Owen and lend him your strength."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Dragon's temper flared up again. Forgiving Owen and the Archdemon was one thing, but giving up its reverse scale? That was a crucial part of its very essence!

"Don't worry. You won't suffer any loss from giving it up," the Lord of Stars reassured, gently stroking its proud head before whispering something into its ear.

After listening, the Jade Dragon's green eyes brightened in excitement. With a snort, it promptly plucked a unique, shimmering scale from its brow-distinctly different from the others and handed it to Owen.

"Here, take it. Don't disappoint me!" it huffed arrogantly.

Seeing the radiant emerald scale that exuded an otherworldly energy, Owen swallowed hard and quickly accepted it.

The Jade Dragon's reverse scale was a treasure of immense value, even without its role in unlocking the Godslayer Staff. It could block attacks from God Emperor-tier enemies and had extraordinary defensive capabilities.

"Thank you!" Owen expressed his gratitude sincerely, turning to look at the Lord of Stars.

"We're allies now, so there's no need for thanks. What are your plans from here?" the Lord of Stars inquired, gazing at him.

Owen pondered briefly before replying, "I need to help the Archdemon extend her lifespan. After that, I'll return to the Azure Kingdom. Leslie is waiting for me to come back... to get married."

"Oh?" The Lord of Stars shot a curious glance at the Archdemon standing beside Owen.

With his perceptive eyes, he could easily see the Archdemon's feelings for Owen. Earlier, when the War God had restrained Owen, the Archdemon was the first to rush to his aid. Had he not intervened, the Archdemon would have likely used some forbidden technique to save him.

But it turned out the person Owen was marrying was someone else.

However, the Lord of Stars did not dwell on this. He merely nodded thoughtfully. "Anyone who could capture your attention must be a truly exceptional woman. I'm quite curious now."

Owen had turned down the love of the Archdemon, a peerless beauty, for this Leslie. She must be something extraordinary.

"Lord of Stars, War God, if you're free, you're welcome to attend my wedding in the Azure Kingdom," Owen said, sweeping his gaze over the two of them and extending a genuine invitation.

Since they were allies now, his wedding was a major life event that should be as lively as possible.

The Lord of Stars and the War God exchanged a look and nodded in unison. "Very well, we'll be there."

Owen was momentarily taken aback.

These two were mighty figures, shaking heaven and earth wherever they went!

His invitation was partly due to curiosity about Leslie and partly out of respect for their seniority. He hadn't expected them to actually agree.

Meanwhile, in the Azure Kingdom, at the Duke's Mansion in the imperial capital, Leslie stood quietly, gazing up at the sky.

"Three more days," she murmured softly.

Her expression remained serene, but Charlotte, her maidservant beside her, dared not even breathe loudly.

Over the past four days, many significant events had transpired across the continent and Middle Earth, causing great waves of upheaval.

The bronze gate had begun to open, the barriers between realms were weakening.

Numerous prodigies had emerged, and many reclusive Mountain Forces were sending their young talents out into the world.

These developments made Charlotte incredibly anxious. After all, Mr. Owen and her mistress had caused quite a stir in Middle Earth, offending almost all the top powers there.

When the bronze gate's barrier weakens to its limit, god-tier mages and those beyond will be able to cross freely. It will be a catastrophe beyond imagination!

The Azure Kingdom could very well face total annihilation.

Yet, in the midst of this unprecedented crisis, her mistress seemed completely unconcerned.

All she cared about was preparing for the wedding and counting down the days until the seventh day.

She seemed to have no regard for matters that could alter the world's fate.

Moreover, Charlotte realized that she could no longer gauge her mistress's strength. Her aura was overwhelming, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

Glancing toward the Demon Realm, Charlotte whispered to herself, "Mr. Owen, when will you return? Miss is almost turning into a statue waiting for you."

...

Deep within the Demon Abyss.

"Mr. Owen, haven't you already married my sister? Why are you still flirting around and marrying someone else?!" Elysia's eyes flared with anger as she glared at Owen.

She had finally come to accept this brother-in-law in her heart. His strength, talent, and looks were all outstanding.

Picky as she was, she couldn't find any flaws. The young heroes she had met before paled in

comparison.

But to her shock, despite marrying her sister-a woman as beautiful as a goddess-Owen was still going to marry someone else!

"Sister, how can you allow this? He's a scoundrel, a shameless philanderer!" ElysiaNôv(el)B\\jnn

exclaimed, her emotions running high.

The Archdemon looked slightly embarrassed. She cleared her throat and explained the circumstances of how she had dragged Owen off and forcibly married him.

Elysia's mouth twitched, then she gave her sister a thumbs up. "Sis, you're ruthless!"

Clearly, she hadn't expected Owen and Leslie to be true lovers, with her sister as the forcibly

inserted third party.

Suppressing her earlier anger, she sighed deeply and turned to Owen.
