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

Chapter 486: Chapter482-The Token to The Celestial



The top-tier Primordial Gods engaged in battle all turned their attention to where Leslie stood.

The chilling aura emanating from Leslie made even these powerful beings feel as though they had plunged into an icy abyss. Their souls seemed on the verge of freezing, bringing a piercing pain akin to needles stabbing into their bodies.

Within the freezing air, they could also sense a bone-chilling killing intent.

Even though this killing intent wasn't directed at them, their hearts raced uncontrollably. They didn't dare continue looking at Leslie for fear of being locked onto by her deathly, terrifying aura.

Leslie's sudden and unprecedented burst of killing intent only piqued Tsukihime's interest further.

"It seems you truly have feelings for Owen. This is unlike you, Leslie."

Leslie's expression grew more severe than ever. "I told you before-there are people I can't bear to lose in my heart. If you make a move on Owen, don't blame me for being unkind!"

As she spoke, her gaze grew even colder, like a block of eternal ice.

Tsukihime looked at Leslie's icy demeanor, finding this version of her-full of emotion-far more interesting than the detached Leslie she once knew.

She also understood that Leslie was not one to make empty threats. If she truly acted against Owen, Leslie would likely sever ties with her immediately.

Thus, Tsukihime chuckled softly and said slowly, "Since you care so much about Owen, as you wish, I won't lay a hand on him."

She then added, "You should understand my power and means. You might intimidate others, but you cannot threaten me."

"This time, as you wish, I'll let Owen live-but only because I find it more interesting to keep him alive, nothing more."

"Also, does your husband even know what your ultimate goal is? If he did, could the two of you still be so affectionate with each other?"

"Ah, how amusing this all is."

A faint look of anticipation appeared on Tsukihime's face.

Leslie's expression darkened as a vague unease stirred within her. She glared at Tsukihime and angrily shouted, "Enough!"

Seeing Leslie's reaction, Tsukihime refrained from pressing further, knowing that any more would cause Leslie to turn against her completely-a scenario she saw no need to provoke. At the same time, Leslie's care and attention toward Owen intrigued Tsukihime deeply. She knew better than anyone the pride in Leslie's heart. For a man to earn Leslie's wholehearted devotion was something Tsukihime had once thought impossible.

After all, Leslie's talent and character were beyond the comprehension of most men. Yet reality had slapped her in the face. Owen, that young man, was incredibly fascinating. Thinking of this, a mischievous plan involving Owen began to take shape in Tsukihime's mind.

Although she had promised Leslie not to kill Owen, she hadn't promised not to meddle with him.

Such an intriguing man-how could she not meet him for herself?

Noticing the shift in Tsukihime's expression, Leslie grew wary and asked curiously, "What are you scheming?"

Tsukihime feigned calmness, smiled faintly, and retorted, "What could I possibly be scheming?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As she spoke, her expression quickly returned to tranquility, as if nothing had been planned at all.

Then, as if something occurred to her, Tsukihime flipped her hand and retrieved a unique glowing orb from her storage ring.

The orb, though only palm-sized, radiated an extraordinary energy.

It seemed as if neither time nor space could influence or affect it in any way.

After taking out the orb, Tsukihime handed it to Leslie.

"Take this."

"This is the token to unlock the God of Deities and gain true entry to The Celestial."

"With your current strength, you are qualified to hold this token and settle old scores."

Hearing this, Leslie accepted the orb. Gazing at the artifact capable of penetrating mountains, her expression grew complicated.

However, she didn't dwell on it for long and quickly stored the orb in her storage ring.

"You didn't need to deliver this personally," Leslie remarked after some thought.

Tsukihime offered no explanation. She merely waved her hand lightly and said, "The item is in your hands now. My task here is done, so I'll take my leave."

After speaking, Tsukihime turned to the four Sacred Protectors and said, "Let's go. Today's events end here."

The four Sacred Protectors were stunned.

Leave suddenly?

Never mind the fact that Infernal Reincarnation was right before them-if destroyed, it would trap the Lord of Stars and the others in the chaotic streams of time and space, greatly benefiting The Celestial.

Not to mention that the War Goddess, now surrounded and in an extremely precarious state, would surely die if they continued their assault.

Yet the Divine Emperor was ordering them to leave!

Abandoning such a golden opportunity was beyond their comprehension.

Tsukihime glanced coldly at the four Sacred Protectors and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Her words carried the weight of mountains, causing the four Sacred Protectors to tremble. Their magic and life force were suppressed to the extreme, as though a single thought could

end their lives.

They immediately bowed deeply.

"Divine Emperor, we have no objections!"

Satisfied, Tsukihime nodded and promptly departed with them.

After they left, the War Goddess steadied herself, stabilizing her injuries before walking over

to Leslie. She examined her closely.

The War Goddess had believed she understood Owen well enough.

But she hadn't anticipated that Leslie had such a close connection to the primordial celestial

gods, especially Tsukihime.

Could Leslie also be a primordial celestial god?

Or was she of the same origin as the primordial celestial god emperor?

Otherwise, with Tsukihime's personality, she wouldn't treat Leslie as an equal.

However, the War Goddess had participated in many battles against The Celestial and had

thoroughly studied Tsukihime and the primordial celestial gods.

Tsukihime was the sole existence among the primordial celestial gods, with no peers or blood

relatives.

After all, primordial celestial gods were unique beings born of the heavens and earth, devoid

of familial ties.

But if they weren't kin, why was their relationship so extraordinary?

Thinking of this, the War Goddess noticed similarities between Leslie and Tsukihime's

personalities-both were incredibly proud individuals.

If not for some inherent connection, they wouldn't even be interested in understanding each

other.

"Miss Leslie, what exactly is your relationship with Tsukihime?"

After much deliberation, the War Goddess finally voiced her confusion.

Leslie, however, didn't answer directly. She simply said, "That's none of your business."

Hearing this, the War Goddess frowned deeply.

Leslie's current status was too crucial and special.

If her ties to The Celestial were indeed close, it could mean the entire plane would become a

playground for The Celestial.

After all, Leslie was now a core figure in the Rebel Alliance and a fearsome force at the pinnacle of power. Any issue with her would spell disaster for the rebellion against The

Celestial.

"If you're considering making a move against me, forget it," Leslie said, her gaze fixed on the War Goddess's fluctuating aura.

Then she looked toward Infernal Reincarnation and said, "Stay here. The Lord of Stars and

the others should return soon."

With that, Leslie turned to leave.

The War Goddess took a deep breath and asked, "Where are you going?"

Leslie replied flatly, "That's none of your concern."

"But your daughter and sister are waiting for you..." the War Goddess said hesitantly.

Leslie didn't respond.

The War Goddess wanted to press further, but she suddenly noticed Infernal Reincarnation

trembling violently.

In the distance, glowing lights began to approach rapidly.

Sensing the unique energy emanating from Infernal Reincarnation, the War Goddess's

expression lit up with joy.

Just as Leslie had said, the Lord of Stars and the others were returning!
