LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter500-Reunion with Dolores
To the major forces, the Celestial had always been an immovable boulder weighing on their hearts—unshakable and inviolable.
Yet now, with Owen's appearance, the Celestial had been shaken to some extent.
This made them take Owen more seriously than ever before!
Immediately, the attention of all factions returned to the imperial capital of the Azure Kingdom.
The great battle following Owen's return was bound to be earth-shattering and would, to some extent, determine the fate of everyone from this point onward!
Under the gaze of countless eyes, all factions near the imperial capital ceased their offensives, gathering around Owen with expressions of shock and fear.
Though they had long been mentally prepared for Owen's terrifying strength, the fact that he had so easily erased Loki still sent tremors through their hearts, filling them with boundless dread.
In their minds, Loki had been an invincible existence. Yet even such a formidable deity was nothing before Owen!
Owen's rate of growth and combat prowess were far beyond their prior estimations and imaginations—utterly terrifying!
Whether it was the Bright King and other Prime Celestial Gods, or the Serpent of the End and other fearsome divine beasts, they all looked at Owen with reverence, not daring to act rashly.
Owen's overwhelming power and pressure had already seeped into their very bones!
At that moment, Dolores, who had come from another plane, emerged from the void, locking her gaze on Owen with an exceedingly complex expression.
"Owen, you have finally shown yourself!"
As she looked at Owen, scenes from the past flashed before her eyes.
Her eyes reflected deep turmoil. The years she had spent as if in a dream had made it impossible for her to forget Owen!
Memories of her past with Owen flickered in her mind, causing her once-calm heart to tremble.
Even after awakening, she had once doubted whether it had all been nothing more than an illusion—a mere dream.
Yet the sincere emotions embedded in those past moments had carved an indelible mark upon her heart, fresh and enduring.
This was why Dolores cared so deeply about this matter.
She had to find Owen—and kill this heartless man!
At the same time, Caesar, whose special body was constructed from a soul essence, continued to sense the peculiar fluctuations emanating from Owen.
Over the past three years, he had grown significantly stronger, especially with the Celestial's assistance, which had drastically amplified his power. Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire
However, upon seeing Owen again, the sheer terror in Owen's aura made it impossible for him to look directly at him!
Even with his newfound strength, he was still inferior to Owen!
Just what kind of growth had Owen undergone in the Demon Abyss?
Was that place not a guaranteed death trap?
Caesar could not accept this reality. The magical elements within his body surged wildly, instinctively urging him to flee from Owen.
Madelyn, at this moment, was smiling, yet her smile was accompanied by tears. It was unclear whether she was happy to see Owen again or if she felt something else.
Although only three years had passed, to Madelyn, it felt like three centuries—three millennia!
The Archdemon, who could only look up at Owen, was utterly shaken by his power.
"When did Owen become this strong?"
Not far from the Archdemon, the War Goddess also revealed a smile.
The stronger Owen was, the worse off those who had once oppressed them would be!
As relief filled their hearts, Owen gently patted little Leslie's head.
"Your injuries have already healed. Go into the small world and fetch some Spring of Life water to help them recover. Leave the rest to me."
Little Leslie obediently nodded before entering the small world, like a diligent little bee, helping Ymir and the others recover from their wounds.
Only then did Owen feel reassured. His gaze turned to the Bright King, the Serpent of the End, and the other fearsome divine beasts.
As he looked at them, his expression became colder than ever before!
"So, you are the ones planning to destroy the Azure Kingdom?"
"Well, I am here now."
"If you have the guts, take a step forward!"
Owen's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
At once, all of the Celestial's subordinates present glared at Owen in fury.
They admitted that Owen's combat power was formidable, but they were still among the most powerful deities!
Was Owen planning to take on the Celestial's entire army by himself?
He had completely disregarded them!
Such arrogance!
Never before had they seen someone so utterly disdainful!
"Owen, your strength is indeed impressive, but to challenge so many deities at once—you are seeking your own death!"
The Bright King and the others all glared at Owen with rage!
Especially one of the Prime Celestial Gods beside the Bright King, who sneered with contempt:
"Owen, when we were born, your ancestors hadn't even come into existence. I wonder who gave you the courage to challenge us?"
Before his voice had even fully fallen, his head was already soaring through the air!
Scorching blood painted the void!
The pupils of the Bright King and the other Prime Celestial Gods shrank abruptly. The one who had just spoken was a Throne Celestial, undoubtedly one of their most elite.
Yet with a single move from Owen, he had been utterly obliterated—his soul annihilated, reduced to nothing but a shattered corpse!
A Throne Celestial, in front of Owen, was as insignificant as an ant, wiped out with ease!
It was absurd!
As Bright King and the others stared in horror, Owen's icy gaze continued to sweep over the gathered forces.
"Who else?"
The provocative words spread throughout the battlefield.
Bright King and the others felt as if their dignity was being trampled into the dirt.
They were all prominent figures under the Celestial's command. Wherever they went, others trembled in their presence.
Yet now, they were being humiliated and crushed by Owen!
With their fiery tempers, they would have retaliated without hesitation.
However, the lingering shadow of Owen's merciless slaughter of Loki and the Throne Celestial still haunted their hearts, forcibly suppressing their rising fury.
They valued their pride—but even more than that, they valued their lives.
With Owen's impulsive and ruthless nature, anyone who dared to step forward would undoubtedly die!
"Owen, do you truly believe that ruling over them makes you invincible? Do you not understand that there is always someone stronger?"
As their frustration mounted, an ancient, hoarse voice suddenly boomed across the battlefield!
Immediately, a towering, golden figure resembling a small giant slowly descended upon the scene.
As he appeared, the entire army from the other plane erupted into frenzied cheers.
"Celestial Demon, may you reign eternal!"
"Celestial Demon, may you never perish!"
The voices carried an undeniable force of faith, converging upon the golden giant's forehead, where a sacred ritual formation glowed. An overwhelming aura, capable of collapsing the void and shattering the universe, surged forth in madness!
The descendant of the Celestial Demon, Gabriel—
Had arrived!
The Celestial Demon was the supreme god of the other plane, the strongest existence.
The source of magical power, the ultimate object of faith, an entity more ancient than the cosmos itself!
Although Gabriel was only a descendant, the power he wielded was still terrifying. With the blessings of faith, he possessed near-apocalyptic might!
Yet as Gabriel unleashed his terrifying aura, Owen's face was full of disdain.
"You think you're worthy of fighting me?"
Despite the Celestial Demon's formidable power, in Owen's eyes, it was nothing more than fleeting dust.
"Owen, you still don't understand—this is not just a duel of life and death, but a struggle where only one of us will survive!"
"If you lose, everything you have will become an offering to the Celestial Demon!"
Owen curled his finger in a taunting gesture. "Come, show me your limits."
Hearing these words, Gabriel's defiant expression turned ice-cold.
As a descendant of the Celestial Demon, he had encountered many arrogant individuals before, but none as utterly dismissive as Owen.
Yet all those before had become sacrifices to the Celestial Demon.
Owen would be no exception!
Gabriel roared, and in an instant, the terrifying shadow of the Celestial Demon transformed into a ten-thousand-meter-tall giant, standing between heaven and earth.
Its colossal presence shattered the very fabric of Order, turning the surroundings into a realm of chaotic destruction.
