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

Chapter 137: Chapter137-The Gate of Revelation



At the edge of Middle Earth.

On a desolate gobi desert, an ancient bronze gate rose up like a mountain stretching across the land, dividing the area into two worlds.

In the region within Middle Earth, the mana was dense, like dancing sprites gathered together, almost forming a magical mist that drifted in the air.

Outside the bronze gate, however, lay a scene of desolation and decay, with only thin wisps of mist floating in the air.

A single bronze gate separated the inside and outside of Middle Earth into two worlds, with the mana density differing by almost tenfold!

At this moment, in front of the majestic and ancient bronze gate, many of Middle Earth's top forces were gathering.

Middle Earth was vast and prosperous, almost a place all mages on the continent aspired to reach.

Generally speaking, the people of Middle Earth rarely ventured outside its borders.

After all, the resources in Middle Earth were several times, even dozens of times, more abundant than elsewhere, and it housed various ancient sects, noble families, and academies. However, with the emergence of the Supreme Order, all of Middle Earth's top forces were alarmed and prepared to head to the Azure Kingdom to seek the source of the celestial phenomenon.

At this time, the bronze gate here, the only passage for Middle Earth to the rest of the continent, had gathered a group of extraordinary mages.

Most of them were in their prime, exuding strong auras, dressed in luxurious clothing, and carrying an inherent air of aristocratic arrogance.

Beside these strongest prodigies of Middle Earth, almost every one of them was accompanied by an elderly master-tier mage, serving as both their protector and mentor.

Even though these master-tier mages had restrained their auras, they stood beside the prodigies like invisible harbors, sheltering them.

"Is everyone here?"

At the forefront of a group of Middle Earth prodigies and strong individuals, a young man coldly scanned them, hands clasped behind his back, wearing a purple-gold robe exuding nobility.

Even though the people here were all renowned scions of noble families and dynasties in Middle Earth, he seemed to disregard them, speaking with utter arrogance.

The crowd, despite feeling somewhat displeased by the young man's disdain, suppressed their anger upon seeing the blazing flame emblem on his chest and began reporting the gathering situation one by one.

This young man was the crown prince of the most powerful Pyrothrone Kingdom in Middle Earth.

His status, talent, and strength were all above theirs!

"Emberveil Kingdom, Third Prince accompanied by protector Mers, greets Prince Kaldan of Pyrothrone. May the Emperor live long and the nation prosper!"

The first to speak was a somewhat thin, monkey-like young man.

His name was Henry, and although he was a prince, he was very respectful and full of admiration when facing the leading young man.

Unlike the other three great kingdoms, which did not want to be gathered here, he came voluntarily, hoping to establish a good relationship with the prince of Pyrothrone Kingdom, Kaldan.

"Although Emberveil Kingdom is declining, it is fortunate to have someone like you who knows how to adapt to the times. Serve me well this time, and I will not treat you unfairly."

Though Kaldan wasn't overly impressed with Henry's show of submission, he responded with a polite acknowledgment.

The princes of the other three kingdoms and their protectors exchanged glances, then stepped forward to salute.

"Greetings to Prince Kaldan, may the sun and moon be with you. Since this is a summons from Pyrothrone Kingdom, we are willing to follow your orders!"

The princes of the Seleucid Kingdom, Magadha Kingdom, and Carolingian Kingdom also stepped forward one by one to declare their stance.

Although this action was forced by Pyrothrone Kingdom, rumors said that Pyrothrone Kingdom's ancestors were among those who followed the Supreme Order, eventually becoming a giant in Middle Earth.

Following Pyrothrone made it easier to find and identify the person who caused the celestial phenomenon.

If they seized the opportunity, they might gain some benefits and fortunes from Pyrothrone Kingdom.

Moreover, such a shocking phenomenon had aroused their vigilance, making them pay serious attention to this matter.

Seeing the prodigal princes of the four great empires express their submission, Kaldan nodded with satisfaction.

Then he turned his attention to the three major families on his right.

The Walton House, the DuPont House, and the Windsor House.

These three families were among the top families in Middle Earth, each controlling the extremely important businesses of mana stones, magical artifacts, and potions.

Not only were these families filled with talented individuals, but they also had vast resources and maintained close connections with many of Middle Earth's top powerhouses.

It could be said that these three families were giants comparable to empires.

The prodigies of these three families exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of helplessness in the others' eyes.

They were indeed interested in the person who caused the celestial phenomenon, but acting together with Pyrothrone Kingdom made the situation delicate.

If they encountered unforeseen dangers, they would undoubtedly be forced to take the brunt of it as cannon fodder, and if there were benefits to be gained, Pyrothrone Kingdom would take the lion's share, leaving them with mere scraps.

Thus, neither the four empires nor the three great families wanted to act together with Pyrothrone Kingdom.

However, as Pyrothrone Kingdom was the leading empire in Middle Earth, they dared not provoke it lightly.

So, after a brief hesitation, they all nodded in agreement to join forces with Pyrothrone

Kingdom.

"Good! With our combined efforts, we will quickly locate the person and uncover the mysteries of the Supreme Order. You will be immensely grateful for your decision today!"

Kaldan was very satisfied with their attitude. He then turned his proud gaze toward the bronze gate, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

Leaving Middle Earth to travel to other parts of the continent was no easy task and even involved certain risks.

This entrance was protected by an ancient enchantment, said to have been left by a god-tier mage who had ascended to a higher plane.

The higher the rank of a mage entering, the higher the risk of death during the teleportation

process.

It is said that the mortality rate for sage-tier mages passing through the portal is as high as

ninety percent!

This is why, even with the discovery of a legendary artifact like the Supreme Order, the various factions of Middle Earth did not immediately send their top powerhouses. Instead, they planned to send prodigies with lower ranks but strong combat abilities, under the protection of their guardians, to leave Middle Earth.

For mages below the master-tier, the risk of death during teleportation is very low.

As for master-tier mages, although there is some risk, as leading powers, they have a deep understanding of the bronze portal.

Today is the day when the risk is the lowest!

"Let's set off together. According to the latest intelligence, the person is in the Azure

Kingdom. With our combined forces, if any mages from those barbarian lands show disloyalty, we can swiftly eliminate them, saving time."

Kaldan said, then looked at the people from the four great empires and the three great

families.

Under Kaldan's gaze, the other prodigies and guardians began to enter the teleportation array

one after another.

Clearly, Kaldan was not giving them a chance to escape his control. Since that was the case, they might as well comply and see if they could gain some advantage from this action.

As Henry led his guardian into the bronze portal first, the surface of the bronze gate lit up, rippling like water and swallowing their figures before they disappeared.

Soon after, as the imperial princes and family prodigies gathered there entered the bronze gate one after another and were about to leave completely.

In the void behind them, a figure suddenly began to materialize and appear.

It was none other than Diana, who had been instructed by the dean to leave Middle Earth and investigate the Supreme Order.

Watching the backs of those imperial princes, she curled her lips into an amused smile.

"So many people leaving Middle Earth together will certainly be interesting. This is going to

be fun."

She laughed heartily, about to rush into the bronze gate when she suddenly thought of something and furrowed her brows. Then, light began to ripple over her body like white bands

wrapping around her.

Gradually, her curvaceous and alluring figure transformed into a somewhat androgynous

young man.

Her skin was fair and delicate, her eyes lively and expressive.

Looking down to check her disguise, she nodded with satisfaction: "This should prevent anyone from recognizing me. Cross-dressing is my specialty."
