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

Chapter 462 - 458-Eerie! The Being Representing Ominousness

"Let's go!"

"This time, I'll take you all home!"

After Owen departed, the previously silent Rachel followed closely behind, with the Chief and the others also quickly joining in, exuding a formidable aura.

Raina gazed at Owen's departing figure, her expression somewhat dazed.

The strength of the three of them wasn't enough; they could only stay behind and silently cheer for Owen and the others.

Lana and Princess Marry glanced at the entranced Raina.

Lana seemed to recall something and sighed, saying, "Sister, you haven't forgotten about that incident, have you? You're watching so intently..."

Hearing this, Raina blushed slightly. Though she was unwilling to admit it, Owen's figure grew more vivid in her heart with each passing moment. The more she tried to forget, the deeper the memory etched itself.

Princess Marry, seeing her mentor like this, knew that in her heart, Raina had never truly forgotten Owen.

She could only sigh. Owen seemed endlessly surrounded by beautiful women.

To say nothing of others, even now, he was accompanied by Rachel, a powerful figure who was both strong and an ideal wife and mother.

All she could say was that liking Owen was truly an unfortunate thing.

"This time, with so many powerful people gathered, there shouldn't be any problems," Princess Marry consoled her mentor.

"Besides, you know that Owen isn't an ordinary person. With him, even the most dangerous places can be overcome."

Raina naturally understood this in her heart. However, this time, Owen's opponent was The Celestial, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

...

Under Owen's lead, the group soon reached the summit of the Alps Divine Mountain.

At this moment, looking around, the divine mountain emanated an extreme aura of destruction. Bright light dispelled the surrounding darkness.

However, at the very center of the summit, an ancient black temple stood, like a black hole devouring all nearby light.

"So this is the Dark Temple?"

Owen murmured, strongly sensing a dense, dangerous aura emanating from the ancient temple.

Within this aura was the distinct presence of The Celestial's power, making it clear that this was the core of The Celestial's seal.

The terrifying power of The Celestial caused even Owen to feel an intense unease! Discover more stories at empire

No wonder the people of the Alps had been trapped here for so long.

While Owen examined the temple, the others present also carefully scrutinized it.

They had never ventured this deep before, knowing of the ancient temple only through ancestral tales.

According to their ancestors, the temple symbolized ominousness and death and was not to be approached lightly.

But now that they were close, they discovered the overwhelming presence of The Celestial's power. Clearly, this place was intricately tied to The Celestial.

At this moment, Owen turned to the Chief and the others, saying, "This place is dangerous. From now on, everyone must stick together and proceed cautiously."

The Chief and the others nodded. They too could feel the pervasive danger of death emanating from this place.

Although they had faced The Celestial's power many times, the aura emanating from this temple was infinitely stronger than anything they had encountered before.

None dared to act recklessly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Owen enveloped himself in the power of [Order] and attempted to enter the temple.

However, as soon as he approached, an invisible barrier seemed to block his way.

Owen tried to force his way through, and the seemingly empty void suddenly revealed intricate patterns of light, constructing a dazzling, brilliant array.

As the array released a powerful wave of energy, Owen was rapidly repelled.

"What terrifying power. This must be a formation personally created by The Celestial!"

After stabilizing himself, Owen's eyes grew even brighter.

The system's guidance was indeed correct.

If they destroyed the Dark Temple, they could escape this place!

"Owen, are you alright?"

The Chief rushed over to Owen's side, asking with concern.

Owen shook his head, pausing briefly before saying, "Chief, to enter the temple, we must break the formation. I'll need everyone's cooperation to accomplish this."

From what he had observed, it was clear that relying on a single person's power and magic was not enough to shake the painstakingly crafted formation of The Celestial.

Only together could they succeed.

The Chief and the others nodded. Centering themselves around the Chief, the tribespeople gathered their individual powers into him.

The Chief, already immensely powerful, now swelled with the combined strength of the others, his body expanding like a balloon. Around him, the sounds of countless magical chants filled the air.

Then, he struck the light array with a heavy palm.

In an instant, the Alps trembled.

As if shaken to its core, the mountain quaked, and mana began leaking uncontrollably.

The previously intact formation patterns cracked, emitting ear-piercing sounds.

Seizing the moment, Owen and Rachel struck simultaneously.

Heaven Emperor Fist!

Their punches shattered the already fractured formation into countless pieces, scattering like shards of glass.

Rachel followed up with another strike, further widening the cracks.

A three-meter-wide gap in the formation now lay before Owen and the others.

Owen glanced into the temple through the gap.

Within the Dark Temple, a place untouched by light, he saw an inky black ocean. The distant sound of waves echoed faintly.

It seemed that within the Dark Temple lay a vast, stormy sea.

Owen activated the power of [Order] to envelop himself and charged into the Dark Temple.

The moment he entered, Owen saw the eerie black ocean. Though it wasn't entirely visible, each surge of the dark waves carried a unique magical aura.

For Owen, whose soul was extraordinarily powerful, the vast ocean unfolded directly within his mind.

Yet within the black ocean, there seemed to be no living creatures—only the lingering power of The Celestial.

"What is this place?"

The Chief and the others followed Owen, their curiosity piqued.

At that moment, the sound of a sailboat being propelled by the wind echoed.

A black ghost ship, its origins and destination unknown, appeared upon the ocean.

Everyone's attention instantly focused on the ghost ship.

The ship was incredibly dilapidated, barely more than a skeleton, yet it did not sink and continued its voyage, exuding an inexplicable eerie atmosphere.

Owen furrowed his brow, sensing the same dark aura that had once clung to the Flame Sword.

The ghost ship bore the same aura as that drop of dark blood.

It was that drop of blood that had granted the ghost ship its peculiar power.

The Chief scrutinized the ghost ship for a moment but couldn't discern its secrets. He turned to the other tribespeople, who also found themselves stumped.

Yet all of them instinctively felt danger emanating from the ghost ship. Their instincts told them not to approach, lest they face deadly peril.

After all, this wasn't an ordinary place but one infused with The Celestial's power and machinations.

"Look! In the center of the ocean, there seems to be a glowing island!"

Suddenly, Rachel's pupils contracted as she pointed to the center of the ocean, exclaiming in shock.

The island flickered in and out of view, emitting an eerie red glow, as though it led to another world!

Owen also noticed the island. He prepared to walk across the air toward it, searching for a way to escape this place.

However, just as the thought arose, the system's voice suddenly rang in his ears:

"Congratulations, Master, you have obtained the Black Ghost Ship!"

The announcement was abrupt, but soon Owen found his consciousness linked to the ghost ship.

At his command, the black ghost ship slowly sailed toward the Chief and the others.

Startled, the Chief and the others were about to take action, but they saw Owen leap onto the ghost ship.

"Everyone, don't worry. I've already gained control of this ship. Come aboard—we'll head to the island together."
