Chapter 331: Chapter328-Damien's Trump Card
The four God Kings, in the eyes of many, were just as chaotic as the four infamous demons. Among the mages in this place, who had not been forced to pay tribute to them?
Who had not been directly or indirectly oppressed by them?
They were simply too powerful and had too many connections, forcing everyone to swallow their anger.
Now, the three scourges were gone!
However, their joy was short-lived as they all turned to Owen.
Although Owen had annihilated the four God Kings, it was Damien, the headmaster, who was the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes.
His strength had reached the level of a God Emperor! He was the undisputed king of this region!
Owen had publicly destroyed Damien's subordinates, and this matter would definitely not end quietly!
While Owen could deal with the four God Kings, could he truly handle the hidden elite powers that Damien had concealed?
Amid their worried glances, Owen took the initiative to look at Damien, who stood suspended in the air. "Have you seen enough? It's your turn now."
Damien squinted, a slight smile on his face as he addressed Owen, "Heh, you've finally emerged from seclusion!"
"Emperor, Owen!"
The moment those words were uttered, the crowd's heads rang with shock!
Emperor Owen! This young man was the legendary Emperor!?
The Emperor was filled with countless tales of legend in their hearts!
He was undeniably their great hero and object of admiration!
After all, without Owen, they would never have survived the Millennial Cataclysm, let alone enjoy the benefits of this new era in relative peace!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Now, this legendary figure was standing right in front of them?! It left them feeling somewhat incredulous.
"It seems the Emperor hasn't shown himself in ten years. Who would have thought his first appearance would be here?"
"The Emperor really is as handsome as rumored, and his power-so terrifying!"
"It's really the Emperor! But why is he here? Is he going to reform the West Sanctum Academy?"
"That seems likely. I just got word that the Empress has also emerged and is planning to take action against the traitorous Emberveil Kingdom!"
"I told you the Emperor would not forget us!"
"With the Emperor here, Damien is just a petty clown!"
"Exactly! It's time to settle the scores for all the mischief Damien has caused!"
"Emperor! Emperor!"
Many people speculated about Owen's purpose for being here, while deafening cheers erupted continuously!
Their fervor for Owen made Damien very displeased, and he frowned, questioning, "Emperor, why did you attack my subordinates the moment you emerged from seclusion? They are the main force for the upcoming assault on The Celestial!"
Seeing Damien maintain his high-and-mighty attitude in front of Owen, everyone thought Damien must be crazy! How dare he!? Owen was the Emperor, the hope of the Azure Kingdom, and their benefactor!
"A robust tree always has its share of pests. Without pests like you, it can grow healthier." Owen looked at him coolly.
Damien was unfazed as he met Owen's gaze, "You and Leslie have become relics of the past. This new era should belong to us. Yet, you try to keep us under your control, making us your pawns. That is not right!"
"You should kneel and repent!"
Owen lowered his eyelids slightly, and an invisible pressure suddenly radiated from him!
A tremendous weight descended, and Damien didn't even have time to react before he was forcefully pinned to the ground, his legs sinking deep into the mud.
Crack!
The sound of broken bones echoed sharply.
Damien was directly subdued before Owen, kneeling on the ground, only able to look up at Owen.
"That's more like it." Owen nodded in satisfaction.
Damien's talent was indeed notable in Owen's eyes, but that was all-just notable. Compared to himself and Leslie, he was still far behind!
After being instantly subdued by Owen, Damien's face first flashed with disbelief.
He was confident in his current strength; he could even contend with the older God Emperors!
He believed he had a seventy percent chance against Owen.
In fact, when Owen had just dealt with the four God Kings, Damien had felt his odds of
winning even higher.
But he never imagined that Owen could suddenly unleash such terrifying pressure, as if he were the lord of the world, and any defiance would be absolutely crushed!
After the initial shock, a trace of terror flickered in Damien's eyes. Owen's sudden explosion of such fearsome power hinted that his strength was likely even more formidable!
However, he was Damien! The undisputed genius of this moment! He was no weaker than anyone else; not even Owen could stand against him!
Thus, he let out a low, beast-like roar, "Owen, if you have the guts, let's have a life-and-
death duel!"
"A life-and-death duel? You don't have that qualification." Owen shook his head.
Damien's obstinacy was beyond Owen's expectations.
Having been away for so long, many had lost their sense of reverence. But that didn't matter.
Because soon, he would make an example out of him.
As Owen's refusal echoed in the air, terrifying dark shadows erupted from Damien's body,
resembling a blazing star radiating a sense of destruction!
In an instant, he forcibly broke free from Owen's suppression.
"Interesting!" Owen watched as Damien suddenly distanced himself without taking
immediate action.
From Damien, Owen sensed a familiar mana fluctuation.
The Lord of Stars' ultimate magic-Eternal Seal!
When the Lord of Stars and the God of Light transmitted their ultimate magic to him, they
hoped he would expand and pass it on.
Thus, before entering seclusion, Owen had specifically left behind a portion of that legacy,
which only those powerful enough could attempt to access.
It seemed that Damien had acquired part of the Lord of Stars' legacy.
That's why he was able to shake off Owen's suppression.
Because the technique Owen had just used to subdue Damien involved the enhanced Light-
Dark Seals, strengthened by the chaotic entity Devour!
"Owen, do you really think you're the only genius in this world?"
"I've prepared for this day!"
After distancing himself from Owen, Damien's aura suddenly surged, breaking through from
a half-step God Emperor to a true God Emperor!
In that instant, a turbulent wave of energy swept across the heavens and earth, causing endless chaos, and creating a crackling sound that echoed through the void.
Everyone present turned pale in fear; under this oppressive force, they found themselves
unable to move, as if their lives were in Damien's hands!
Before Damien broke through to God Emperor, he could contend with them; now, having truly ascended to God Emperor, his power had surged several times over!
This surge in strength fueled Damien's murderous intent toward Owen. With boundless light gathering in his hand, he transformed it into a shimmering sword pulsating with solar flames.
"Owen, with part of the legacies of the two leaders, Azure Kingdom will ultimately be mine!" He let out a wild laugh, then grasped the shining sword, drawing power from it!
Owen's expression was somewhat strange.
When he left behind the legacies of the God of Light and Lord of Stars, besides Leslie and Madelyn, no one else knew that he had mastered these two legacies.
Now, it seemed this guy had misunderstood something, believing that these legacies were
left by them.
However, upon reflection, Owen found it quite normal. After all, thanks to systematic absorption and his unique Devour physique, he had mastered these two ultimate magics to perfection, making misunderstanding a natural occurrence.
And this was probably why Damien dared to defy him.
So Owen looked at Damien with interest, "Then let me see how you've practiced." Owen's calm demeanor and confidence instinctively made Damien feel something was off,
but no matter how strong Owen was, could he be stronger than the God of Light and Lord of
Stars? They were ancient gods, and he had a part of their ultimate magic. With his God Emperor rank, suppressing Owen and making a name for himself in Azure Kingdom was just around the
corner!
"Light Shines!"
Damien roared, and the long sword that struck was split into nine, forming a radiant wheel of
light meant to extinguish the darkness!
