Chapter 367: Chapter363-Sparing You This Time
"That's right, Owen is indeed my husband!"
For the first time, Leslie was addressed as "madam," and a faint smile flickered in her eyes. The female celestial god's expression grew awkward.
According to the celestial god palace's plan, Owen was supposed to become the husband of their lord of celestial god palace.
And now, fate played a cruel joke, leading them to encounter Leslie-the rightful wife.
On top of that, Leslie bore an intense hostility toward them.
At that moment, the realization struck the female celestial god, and a deep despair filled her heart.
Leslie was a prime target in their plan, someone they had to eliminate first. Only by removing her could their lord rise to her position.
Otherwise, with Leslie as the legitimate wife, if their lord married Owen, wouldn't she only become a concubine?
A mistress?
This was something they could not, under any circumstances, accept-and neither could their lord.
Right now, Leslie had just obliterated so many of the celestial god palace's forces, leaving the female celestial god unable to even plead for mercy. The words stuck in her throat.
As she lowered her head in despair, expecting death, Leslie did not strike her down. Instead, she glanced at her and said:
"I'll spare your life today. Now, get lost!"
The female celestial god froze, wondering if her ears had deceived her, and stared at Leslie in disbelief.
Just moments ago, Leslie had mercilessly attacked Fitch and another celestial god from the celestial god palace.
Now she was suddenly willing to let her go?
If she returned and spread the news of Fitch's death and that of another grand celestial god, the celestial god palace's fury would undoubtedly descend upon Leslie.
Seeing that the female celestial god was still frozen in place, not making any move to leave, Leslie asked coldly:
"What's wrong? Don't want to leave alive?"
Upon hearing this, the female celestial god immediately turned and fled, not daring to linger for even a moment, fearing Leslie might change her mind.
Though she couldn't fathom what Leslie's intentions were in sparing her, the chance to survive was something she was more than willing to take!
In an instant, her figure transformed into a panicked streak of light, disappearing into the distance at high speed.
"Sister, a celestial god is an immensely powerful asset. Why did you let her go?"
Madelyn looked at Leslie in confusion.
Leslie was not known for her mercy; she was a firm believer in cutting weeds at the root. Thinking of this, an idea suddenly dawned on Madelyn, leaving her throat dry with shock. "Sister, don't tell me... you're planning to destroy the celestial god palace?!"
The thought was extraordinary, but given her understanding of Leslie, it wasn't impossible! Even the most powerful factions in the Pure Land could face total annihilation if they incurred her wrath.
Leslie looked at her, a stunningly beautiful yet dangerously charming smile gracing her lips. "And why would you think that?"
Madelyn blurted out, "It must be because Fitch annoyed you just now. Also, it might have something to do with the celestial god palace's schemes. I heard they're trying to pair Brother with their lord to produce the strongest bloodline!"
Leslie nodded but also shook her head. "You're half-right-still surface-level reasoning, but better than before."
Meanwhile.
The celestial gods of the Emerald Dreamscape, who were confronting Owen, all turned pale as they looked toward the distant water pool.
Moments ago, they had sensed several powerful celestial god auras emanating from that direction!
The energies were familiar to them-they belonged to celestial gods from the celestial god palace.
But after these celestial god auras burst forth, an even more terrifying presence swept out, completely overwhelming the three celestial gods of the celestial god palace!
In just a few breaths, the auras of two celestial gods vanished entirely.
Two celestial gods had fallen!
The Pure Land trembled and mourned!
Even in the Pure Land, with its abundance of mages, celestial god-tier mages were exceedingly rare-a treasure among treasures.
For any faction to lose even one celestial god-tier mage would be a catastrophic blow.
And now, two had perished!
Who could it be?
Who had managed to annihilate two celestial gods in such a short time?
"That direction... it's where Ysera fell. Could it be her?"
Flora stroked her smooth chin before quickly dismissing the idea.
Ysera and the lord of the celestial god palace had both been severely injured by her own hand.
There was no way Ysera could have killed two celestial gods, even at her peak!
It had to be someone else entirely!
The lord of the celestial god palace, sensing the deaths of the two celestial gods, grew even
paler. Her frail body trembled violently with emotion.
How could this happen?!
Two celestial gods of the celestial god palace, gone!
What had occurred there?
At this moment, the only person who remained calm was Owen.
Amid the waves of energy emanating from that direction, he recognized Leslie's presence.
It had to be Leslie who had taken action and slain the two celestial gods.
Given the terrifying strength she had displayed, things on her end must have already been
resolved.
Candice, upon sensing the deaths of the two grand celestial gods from the celestial god palace, immediately thought of Ysera's lord.
She anxiously looked at the three black-robed figures surrounding Owen.
"Three seniors, Ysera's lord is over there, and her situation might be dire. We need to save her
immediately!"
As Ysera's confidante, Candice knew her capabilities well.
If Ysera could barely handle two celestial gods in a prolonged fight, then killing them in mere
moments was simply impossible for her!
If it wasn't Ysera's doing, then it had to be the work of another force.
"The great offering, the young lady's safety is paramount!"
One of the celestial gods confronting Owen said seriously.
However, the leading black-robed celestial god ignored this, his expression dark as he glared
at Owen.
"Now that the four of us grand celestial gods are here, along with Flora, if we strike together, Owen will die without a doubt. Eliminating him will surely earn Loki's great favor!"
Flora also focused her gaze on Owen, agreeing with the leader.
"I concur. This bastard deserves to pay for his earlier actions!"
Candice, however, hesitated even more.
The lord's safety was uncertain, and if they missed this chance...
To Candice, Owen's life was worthless-her lord's well-being far outweighed it!
"Ysera is Loki's daughter. Whoever killed those two celestial gods must know Loki's reputation. The young lady is actually very safe!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The leading celestial god remained unhurried and said calmly, "This is our perfect chance to
get rid of Owen."
"Attack together. Don't waste any more time!"
With that, the cold and ruthless celestial god took a step forward. Instantly, an overwhelming
celestial god-tier power radiated from him, enveloping the entire eerie Spring Forest. Under this celestial god's oppressive aura, the entire forest trembled, the sky seemingly collapsing toward the ground, creating an unbearably suffocating atmosphere.
As he revealed his aura, Owen surveyed the trio and smirked.
"If you were here in person, perhaps I'd have to put in more effort. But since you're mere
projections, who are you trying to scare?"
Owen's confident voice echoed.
Flora and Candice stared at the three black-robed figures in astonishment.
Projections?!
Yet, from their perception, these three black-robed figures were indistinguishable from their
real selves.
But Owen sounded so certain, his tone steady and unwavering.
"You must have already condensed your god marks. Only celestial gods who've condensed
their god marks can project themselves here so flawlessly, even imbuing these projections with a portion of their god mark's power to exhibit celestial god-tier strength."
Owen spoke seriously, laying bare their secrets.
The three black-robed figures, who had been on the verge of mocking Owen, abruptly fell
silent, shock flickering in their eyes.
Owen had seen right through them!
But how?
Their disguise was flawless-how did Owen uncover it?
