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

Chapter 450: Chapter446-Confronting the Ancient God



The ancient god of the Forbidden Sea had awakened!

When Madelyn conveyed this news to Leslie, her expression didn't change. Instead, her pace toward the Forbidden Sea quickened.

All the major factions, particularly the three Forbidden Zones previously plundered by Leslie, were paying close attention to this development.

Their ancient gods were not yet fully revived, and they felt uneasy facing Leslie, whose power had grown significantly and seemed increasingly unfathomable.

Now, however, the ancient god C'Thun of the Forbidden Sea had awakened.

The other three ancient gods knew all too well how terrifying C'Thun was.

Leslie's decision to approach the Forbidden Sea was seen as an act of supreme overconfidence.

Neutral factions in the Pure Land also closely monitored the situation.

The current planar dynamics were clear:

The Celestial and Loki comprised the most powerful faction. The Forbidden Zones formed the second-largest faction. The Rebel Alliance had once been the third, but it had now been overtaken by the Azure Kingdom, led by Owen and Leslie.

Living in such a divided world meant neutrality was no longer sustainable. Everyone would eventually need to align with a powerful faction.

Previously, these neutral forces held little faith in the Azure Kingdom under Owen and Leslie's leadership.

Now, however, they were starting to reconsider.

The Forbidden Sea.

A vast expanse of black ocean with no visible bottom.

Even sunlight from the sky above couldn't penetrate its dark waters. The sea's surface was like a pitch-black abyss, inspiring dread in all who gazed upon it.

"Leslie!"

Suddenly, from the still, black waters, a towering figure as massive as a mountain burst forth, locking eyes on the graceful silhouette rapidly approaching.

Leslie's golden hair cascaded like a waterfall, her alabaster skin exuding a cold, regal aura.

Merely looking at her felt like an act of blasphemy.

As the hulking figure stared at her, Leslie's gaze shifted to him.

This was Anduin, the first warlord of the Forbidden Sea-The Fallen God.

A being who had reached the pinnacle of Throne Celestial power, he was infamous for his madness and love of slaughter.

He was a notorious figure across all four Forbidden Zones, known for torturing and annihilating countless prodigies.

"Leslie, you truly dare to come here? Your arrogant days are over!"

Anduin wielded a massive sword etched with ancient runes. Inscribed upon its blade were the names of once-famous prodigies, their tortured souls feeding Anduin's unending power. Leslie, ignoring Anduin's taunts, turned her gaze toward the center of the Forbidden Sea. There, a shadowy silhouette of a monstrous being lay dormant. Though it remained motionless, the waves of energy emanating from it caused Leslie's heartbeat to slow.

The ancient god-C'Thun!

It had truly awakened!

Without speaking further, Leslie conjured a bow of ice and snow, intricate and majestic, which she gripped tightly in her hand.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

A chilling frost spread outward, enveloping the heavens and earth. Snowflakes began to drift in the air, each one appearing as an ethereal spirit. Yet as they sliced through the void, they emitted a sharp, piercing sound, leaving behind white streaks like fishing lines in the air. Anduin, who had been glaring at Leslie moments earlier, now wore grave expression. From the descending snow, he sensed a foreboding aura of death-something he had never felt before.

Leslie's power was far greater than he had anticipated.

Without waiting for Leslie to draw her bow, Anduin clasped his massive sword and plunged it into the Forbidden Sea.

"Fallen Spring!"

A guttural roar escaped his lips as black seawater, mingled with runic chants, erupted into the sky. Twisting unnaturally in midair, it then plummeted like a meteor, aiming straight for Leslie.

Glancing briefly at Anduin's menacing attack, Leslie showed no concern. She pulled the bowstring taut, her posture graceful and steady, as the bow curved like a crescent moon.

In that instant, the already cold and foreboding void was filled with razor-sharp snowflakes. Leslie's arrow locked onto the distant C'Thun, and she loosed the bowstring with a sudden release.

A spectral ice arrow materialized, streaking through the air with razor-sharp intent. Its tip was shrouded in a white mist, slicing through the void with precision and leaving icy cracks in

its wake.

The oppressive aura filled every corner of the void.

Anduin's Fallen Spring, laden with corrosive energy, carved irregular depressions into the space around it.

Yet, as it neared Leslie's ice arrow, it was frozen in place by the arrow's expanding white mist, as though locked in eternal stasis.

Anduin's expression shifted drastically. As Fallen Spring was neutralized, he felt a bone- chilling cold that left his body paralyzed.

The next moment, the icy arrow continued forward, unleashing waves of frigid energy that rippled outward like blades, slicing through Anduin's body.

His form split apart from the center of his brow, black blood spilling in every direction.

The rippling waves obliterated his physical body, and just as he attempted to reform himself, his soul was encased in thick ice and shattered into dust.

The Fallen God-Anduin.

Reduced to history.

Those observing the battle were struck with an overwhelming sense of dread.

No one had expected Anduin to fall so easily.

As one of the Forbidden Zone's most infamous warlords, Anduin had ended the lives of countless top-tier powerhouses.

Yet, before Leslie, he was killed in mere moments, and only as collateral damage from her

attack!

It was unimaginable how terrifying Leslie would be when fighting at full strength. Under the stunned gazes of countless onlookers, the icy arrow hurtling toward C'Thun froze vast sections of the Forbidden Sea into solid ice.

The icy glow at the arrow's tip pierced through the Forbidden Sea's unique Order, advancing relentlessly toward C'Thun.

C'Thun, who had been feigning slumber, was filled with unease the moment Anduin fell.

Its colossal, spherical eye, as large as a planet, trembled slightly before emitting a blinding

red light from its depths.

The red light embodied pure destruction and death.

Wherever it passed, the void decayed, Order disintegrated, and nothing could withstand its

corrosive power.

Clang!

The red beam collided with the icy arrow, shaking the heavens. The entire Forbidden Zone quaked as though on the verge of collapse.

The icy energy from the arrow began to wither and decay, as if subjected to the passage of millennia, eventually vanishing.

However, the red light, capable of corroding everything, dimmed and dissipated as well.

As the light faded, both Leslie and C'Thun moved simultaneously.

"Leslie, you go too far!"

C'Thun's cold voice echoed from its blinking eye, ancient and chaotic, compelling reverence

and awe from all who heard it.

Leslie, fully aware of C'Thun's terrifying power-far beyond anything she had faced before- immediately drew her bow again.

This time, she pushed the power of the Dark Tower to its limit, infusing the arrow with a

sealing force.

Boom!

Leslie's arrows clashed repeatedly with C'Thun's red beams, shattering the void into chaos,

where countless streams of disruptive energy surged.

With each collision, C'Thun's aura weakened.

Despite its immense strength, C'Thun's unique tier made it subject to significant suppression

by the laws of this world.

If it couldn't destroy Leslie quickly, its physical form risked collapse.

After all, even this world had its limits for bearing such power.
