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

After the three Celestial Gods snapped out of their stupor, they coldly spoke:

"The Lord of Stars and the War Goddess should still be alive. If they return, it will likely cause major trouble for us again!"

Loki sneered coldly. "Right now, they're nothing more than stray dogs, insignificant for the time being. We only need to focus on Owen. They won't be able to stay idle!"

"Furthermore, that Extreme Forbidden Zone, which has always defied the Celestial's orders, should now be used. This time, let them take action. It is an order. They must hate Owen deeply themselves, so we'll have them as the vanguard. They'll severely injure Owen, Lord of Stars, and the War Goddess. As for the rest, I'll handle the cleanup!"

"Loki-sama is brilliant!"

The three Celestial Gods nodded seriously, agreeing with Loki's words. They flattered him enthusiastically.

If they were to activate the God of Deities, it would consume vast amounts of energy, but refining the corpse of the God of Light would allow them to grow even stronger. This seemed like the better option.

Moreover, they understood the terrifying power of Sargeras's Burning Legion and knew how much hatred the Extreme Forbidden Zone held for Owen.

After all, the Celestial's orders were rarely followed, and they would show no mercy to Owen, who had once extorted them!

Especially the Burning Legion—these beings were like a sickle harvesting the Pure Land!

…

Meanwhile, the various forces in Pure Land, as well as the regional lords, all stared at the sky in horror.

They quickly activated their emergency plans and within moments, every force went into a state of high alert!

The reason was simple: the Burning Legion had descended!

At first, countless hellfire meteors, dark green in hue, fell from the sky!

They smashed into Pure Land, causing massive craters and stone fragments to fly everywhere!

These hellfires lacked intelligence, and their only command was the constant whispers in their minds—

Destruction!

Destroy everything they saw!

Although these hellfires were mindless, their combat power was terrifying, showing no fear, no fatigue—like relentless machines of destruction!

In every area where these hellfires fell, the people trembled in fear!

After the hellfires landed, even more terrifying Burning Legion races began to descend upon Pure Land!

Hellhounds, Demon Guardians, Magic Mechs…

These races, far stronger than the hellfires, rained down like a meteor shower, landing in every corner of Pure Land. The air was filled with scorching waves of heat, as if they were set on turning the entire world into an inferno!

All of Pure Land's forces trembled under the power of the Burning Legion.

These terrifying races instilled in them an innate fear and dread.

The only thing that gave them some relief was that the Burning Legion did not start destroying everything in sight.

Instead, they headed toward the desert in the far east.

Wherever the Burning Legion passed, the earth, sky, and void were marked by the eerie green flames, lingering in the air for an unnaturally long time. They moved with remarkable speed.

The Pure Land races that had suffered multiple Burning Legion invasions were especially fearful of them.

The Millennial Cataclysm was not only a great disaster for Middle Earth and the continent but also for Pure Land.

Although it was not as catastrophic as the destruction Middle Earth suffered, it still left a heavy toll.

Every time the Burning Legion descended, whether it was a top-tier force or a weaker faction, all suffered heavy losses and plundering.

The Burning Legion was synonymous with

Destruction!

It was so terrifying that even a newborn baby would stop crying in its presence!

At the same time, the forces of Pure Land were curious. With such a terrifying Burning Legion appearing, why weren't they plundering and destroying everything as usual? Why were they heading straight for the desert?

That place was barren, empty except for the endless yellow sand—what could they possibly be gathering for?

This was completely different from their previous actions.

In the Forbidden Zone…

A hulking figure, covered in flames of anger, erupted from the ground with a mighty roar!

Flames splashed and scorched earth flew everywhere!

The heavens and earth trembled as though they were welcoming a king!

When this figure landed, it revealed its true form.

It had two horns on its head, was clad in heavy armor, and its massive body seemed like a mountain. Flames engulfed its surroundings!

As soon as it appeared, the mighty generals of the Burning Legion, who had already gathered there, lowered their proud heads in reverence!

Afterward, this terrifying existence walked out of the Forbidden Zone.

Wherever it passed, the sky and earth were ignited, and all things lived in a sea of flames. Invisible heat waves distorted the void itself!

…

Outside the Chamber of Riches.

Owen leaned against the gates of the hall, appearing calm, though inwardly, his mind was in turmoil, his eyelids twitching slightly.

Though he had the blessing of the Blood Rose and was unaffected by Cupid's Heart, the moans emanating from the hall were like soft feathers, tugging at his heartstrings.

Any man full of vigor would find it difficult to bear!

Owen endured this torment for half an hour before taking a deep breath and pushing open the massive gates of the hall.

By the time he entered, the suggestive sounds from within had disappeared.

He steadied himself and opened the door.

With a creak, the massive door swung open, and the first thing that greeted him was a faint seafood scent—indescribably odd.

Once inside, Owen's pupils contracted slightly as he saw Flora and the Lord of the Celestial God Palace dressed, though their clothing was somewhat disheveled. They were facing each other, with different emotions flickering across their faces.

The Lord of the Celestial God Palace angrily gripped the Thunderstrike Staff, which crackled with lightning, pointing it toward Flora. Her eyes were filled with fury, almost spitting fire!

Flora, on the other hand, had a flushed, slightly nostalgic look on her beautiful face.

"Flora, you went too far! How could you… do such a thing!"

The Lord of the Celestial God Palace could barely contain her fury, wishing she could rip Flora apart. Just thinking about the intimate moments they'd shared earlier left her both embarrassed and furious.

Flora, however, simply shrugged, her face showing a mock expression.

"It was clearly you who came onto me first. I saw you enjoying it earlier. Not even half an hour has passed, and you're already pretending nothing happened?"

Hearing Flora speak so shamelessly about their earlier actions, the Lord of the Celestial God Palace's anger intensified, almost sending sparks from her eyes.

"If it weren't for your schemes, none of this would have happened! How dare you act so innocent!"

Flora, seemingly unconcerned, responded coolly, "We're both women. It's not like I lost a piece of flesh. I didn't even bring up the fact that you saw me naked!"

"We didn't lose anything, so why are you so worked up?"

Despite her initial shock, Flora had come to terms with it. After all, they were both women, and nothing was lost.

"You! You shameless thing!"

The more the Lord of the Celestial God Palace spoke, the angrier she got. Lightning wrapped around her body like a suit of armor, and she charged at Flora with all her fury.

"Today, you'll pay the price!"

Her voice brimmed with murderous intent, and countless silver serpents of lightning danced around her as she lunged toward Flora!

"You think you're worthy to say that to me?"

Flora remained unafraid, holding her massive black sword. She moved with incredible speed, like a sword god descending from the heavens. Her long hair flew in the wind as she clashed with the oncoming lightning serpents.

The two battled fiercely, and the shockwaves were so intense that the entire hall began to shake.

Owen, watching their clash, couldn't help but shake his head.

Flora had brought this upon herself by scheming against him.

As for the Lord of the Celestial God Palace… she was just collateral damage!

In Flora's mind, she didn't need to consider the Lord's feelings—this situation had been created by her.

But even though Flora and the Lord of the Celestial God Palace were close in strength, it would be difficult for either of them to win decisively without resorting to their ultimate moves.

For now, they seemed to be venting their emotions more than anything else.

After a while, their fight began to calm.

It was only then that Owen stepped forward to observe them both.
