Chapter 274: Chapter271-Owen Has Returned
"That big figure will definitely make a move. This time, Owen won't have any chance to escape!"
The Archgod who had previously fought against the Archdemon sneered coldly.
This time, Owen had offended an incredible powerhouse, and not even the Archdemon could protect him!
"Everyone, get ready. Leslie is set to marry Owen tomorrow, so let's prepare a grand 'gift' for them!"
...
"Mr. Owen, it's been a while. Your strength is becoming more and more unfathomable!" As Owen stepped out of the Demon Realm and into the continent, Edward, who had been waiting for him for quite some time, quickly stepped forward and greeted him warmly.
Owen had a good impression of Edward, an old friend. After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, he asked about the major events that had occurred recently.
After all, he had been in the Demon Abyss for a while and wasn't well-informed about the current situation.
Edward had anticipated this and promptly relayed all the important news to Owen, especially about the nine top-tier Middle Earth factions, including the Truth Church, preparing to take action against him.
Owen merely nodded calmly in response.
Edward's respect for him grew even more at this display of tranquility.
Even though the nine top-tier Middle Earth factions had deployed God Emperors and God Kings, forces that no one in Middle Earth could oppose, Owen's composure reassured Edward, calming the turmoil in his own heart.
He had recorded Owen's journey and had seen him turn the tide in seemingly hopeless situations numerous times. While he didn't know what cards Owen had up his sleeve, he believed that the ultimate victor would undoubtedly be Owen!
The mages from Middle Earth Academy City who were standing behind Edward exchanged bewildered glances.
They, as residents of Middle Earth, had no confidence in Owen's chances. Yet, this representative from the continent seemed to have absolute faith in him.
Where did this confidence come from?
"Oh, right, Mr. Owen. The princess of Kyrik, accompanied by three great ghost generals and the national army, is currently attempting to invade the Azure Kingdom..."
Edward hesitated before slowly bringing up the topic.
Owen's expression remained calm as he said, "Just wait a moment. Let's head back to the Azure Kingdom first."
Edward nodded.
At that moment, Davis and several other young prodigies who were familiar with Owen also arrived.
Despite the immense crisis they faced, they all chose to stand by Owen's side.
As they looked at Owen, who had burst forth from the Demon Abyss, they couldn't help but feel that he had become even more enigmatic.
They were all peers, yet Owen had left them far behind. Even though they had been training day and night, trying to close the gap, it seemed that the distance between them had only grown.
"Owen, you're really a monster!"
Davis, Andre, and the others stood before Owen, their expressions complex as they sighed. They had heard the rumors: Owen had stepped into the ranks of sage-tier mages!
And they, despite receiving the best resources and training from their respective factions, were only at the diamond-tier, still far from reaching sage-tier.
Many prodigies could spend their entire lives without ever touching that tier!
Owen chuckled and looked at the group of disheartened prodigies.
"You all should stop comparing yourselves to me. For me, breakthroughs are as easy as eating and drinking."
Davis, Andre, and the others stared at him speechlessly.
They had come to check on Owen's safety, only to be dealt another mental blow.
Before long, amidst light-hearted laughter, Owen boarded the luxurious airships that had been waiting for him.
In order to welcome Owen, various factions had sent their best, most prestigious airships. They knew that Owen had become a legend on the continent and even in Middle Earth. No amount of respect was too much for someone like him.
Especially after the Middle Earth factions' attempts to attack him, if Owen emerged unscathed, they might not even have the qualifications to meet him.
...
With a mighty fleet of airships soaring into the sky, they headed straight for the Azure Kingdom.
Countless kingdoms along the way, regardless of their relationship with Owen or Leslie, looked up with complex expressions at the star-studded convoy.
They had known Owen was influential, but they hadn't imagined his influence had grown to this extent.
"The Cloud Empire, the Sahano Church, the Moonspring Kingdom, Academy City..."
The unprecedented opulence of the fleet and the symbols on the airships represented the continent's top-tier factions, densely packed and forming a single, unified procession. It practically represented over half of the continent's power!
Now, to welcome Owen's return, so many factions had mobilized. They could hardly fathom just how magnificent and grand Leslie and Owen's wedding would be.
"To be a person, one should aspire to be like Owen."
Many kings across the kingdoms couldn't help but sigh.
Although Owen wasn't a king, he was like an uncrowned ruler on the continent, commanding allegiance from all!
Unlike them, who had to juggle internal and external power balances and rule like walking on a tightrope.
Not only did they live without the freedom they desired, but they also missed the camaraderie
of true friends.
...
The airships traveled quickly, and after passing through numerous kingdoms, Owen finally arrived at the capital of the Azure Kingdom.
As the airships descended, the capital, which was already packed to the brim, erupted in excitement, with the citizens craning their necks, gazing at Owen as he stepped out of the
airship.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Countless cheers erupted from the crowd, and every person gathered there looked at Owen
with fervent admiration.
Owen's battle in Middle Earth had been incredibly thrilling, and his slaying of god-tier mages, as if slaughtering chickens and dogs, had directly intimidated countless scheming
factions.
As citizens of the Azure Kingdom, they no longer felt ashamed of their identity but saw it as a
badge of honor!
When facing people from other kingdoms, they now held their heads high, with a sense of
true dignity.
Currently, the citizenship of the Azure Kingdom was priced at astronomical figures, yet it was
still incredibly difficult to obtain.
The kingdom's overall atmosphere had undergone a complete transformation.
All of this was due to the changes Owen's battle in Middle Earth had brought!
Amidst the cheers and welcome, Owen looked around in confusion. Emperor? When did he
become an emperor?
Seeing Owen's perplexity, Edward looked at him enviously and explained:
"You just returned, so you may not know. When Empress Leslie returned from Middle Earth,n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
she announced your marriage seven days later and simultaneously declared you as the Emperor Consort. No matter how vast the empire, half of it will always belong to you." The prodigies standing beside Owen were already drooling with envy. They had all met Leslie and knew she was not only stunningly beautiful but also possessed extraordinary talent, becoming the only person second to Owen on the Domination
Leaderboard.
Most importantly, her character and cunning surpassed anyone they had encountered.
A person like her was already formidable, and with unmatched talent and power, it made approaching her an impossible thought.
Yet, such a cold-hearted empress, known for being ruthless, wholeheartedly loved Owen and didn't hesitate to offer not just her present, but even half of her future kingdom!
What kind of devotion was this?
Amidst the envious, jealous gazes of the crowd, Owen scratched his nose. He had indeed mentioned sharing the world with Leslie before, but it was just a casual remark.
He didn't expect her to take it seriously.
"Welcome, Emperor Consort!"
At this moment, Charlotte stepped forward to greet Owen. Countless members of the Dark
Rose stood on either side, surrounded by an ocean of flowers. The pink petals covered the ground, adding a charming hue to the entire scene.
Then, the booming sound of celebratory cannons echoed, creating brilliant, magnificent
fireworks that exploded in the sky.
Owen nodded and, filled with anticipation, walked along the petal-strewn path into the
capital.
Finally, he was about to see Leslie again.
Had she been doing well these past few days?
He knew Leslie must have been extremely worried, while also preparing for the wedding,
troubled and anxious.
But now, he was back!
