Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start?-Chapter 530 - 526-The Tower of [Order]
To the God of Light, his daughter and Owen were indeed quite a good match. Unfortunately, Owen was already married and deeply cherished Leslie.
However, he could see clearly that Venus had fallen deeply for Owen. Whatever the outcome between them, it would be up to them to decide.
After all, from the very first moment he laid eyes on Owen, he had recognized his brilliance—an extraordinary individual who could not be found at will. Owen was destined to become a figure of unparalleled greatness.
As the God of Light pondered these thoughts, Venus finally realized that her father was still present. Her ears turned red in an instant.
"Father, there’s nothing between Owen and me! We’re just friends, don’t overthink it!"
Venus shook her head in immediate denial.
Seeing her flustered state, the God of Light couldn’t help but laugh.
As Venus’s father, he understood that the more she tried to deny it, the more likely it was true! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have felt the need to explain so forcefully.
"All right, you are already a leader capable of standing on your own. No matter what decisions you make, I will support you."
The God of Light didn’t say much more. He merely tidied up Venus’s slightly disheveled hair and spoke seriously.

Hearing this, Venus’s face, still tinged with embarrassment, was filled with deep emotion.
She still remembered that in the message God of Light had once left her, he had advised her to marry Owen.
At the time, she had completely failed to understand. But now, she truly did.
Owen was indeed someone rare and irreplaceable.
The God of Light had never meant to harm her—he had always been silently guiding her, leading her in the best possible direction.
"Father!"
Venus’s eyes turned slightly red as she looked at God of Light, her voice hoarse.
God of Light rarely expressed his emotions so openly.
But she knew—God of Light would give up everything for her.
"I have almost recovered. Go find Owen and reunite with him."
The God of Light gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and urged her to leave.
He was about to ascend to the higher layers of the [Order] Tower, to directly face the Celestial. Compared to the Celestial, Venus was still far too weak.
"Father, come with me instead!" Venus knew exactly what the God of Light intended and immediately tried to persuade him.
"You go on alone. The War Goddess, the Lord of Stars, and the others are waiting for me up there. Their current situation is dire—I can feel it."
The God of Light shook his head and refused. As soon as he finished speaking, he shot toward the upper layers of the [Order] Tower.
Venus wanted to follow and assist God of Light, but he pushed her toward Owen instead.
"Go, Owen is a good home for you. Stay by his side—he will protect you!"
"I will wait for you both at the very top of the [Order] Tower alongside the War Goddess and the Lord of Stars!"
With that, God of Light accelerated abruptly, transforming into a streak of light as he ascended toward the higher layers of the [Order] Tower.
Watching her father’s departing figure, Venus was suddenly overwhelmed by a sense of abandonment.
Previously, they had been separated across different timelines to resist the Celestial. Now, after finally reuniting, they were to be separated again...
She wanted to continue following God of Light, but she knew—she was still too weak. Even if she caught up, she would only be a burden to them!
Tears welled up in her eyes and began to fall, landing on the ground with a crisp, sorrowful sound.
Not far away, the War Goddess sighed as she observed the scene. Then, without hesitation, she followed God of Light into the upper layers.
At this moment, all the powerful beings fighting within the [Order] Tower turned their attention to the trembling tower summit.
At the very peak, they sensed the Celestial’s presence!
The Celestial had awakened at this moment!
Beyond that, they could also feel Owen’s presence!
Owen, this so-called "junior" of the new era, had actually grown to such a level!
Even in the face of the Celestial, he showed not the slightest hint of fear!
Moreover, the Celestial had chosen to reveal itself precisely because of Owen’s appearance.
Did this mean that everything they had done had been under the Celestial’s watchful eyes all along?
Had the Celestial simply ignored them because they were too insignificant to be worth its attention?
Realizing this, many of the gods present felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.
It meant that the Celestial had never regarded them as a true threat.
"There’s no turning back now!"
"Charge!"
"Fight our way to the ninth layer of the [Order] Tower and slay the Celestial!"
"Kill the Celestial!"
Furious battle cries erupted from the gods, and in the next instant, they all surged toward the tower’s highest level.
Many of these gods had participated in multiple assaults against the Celestial, making them well-versed in the layout of the [Order] Tower.
Each layer of the [Order] Tower was more heavily guarded and dangerous than the last.
Every level was a self-contained world, forged by the Celestial through unfathomable methods. Even Celestial Gods could perish if they let their guard down.
To face the Celestial, they would have to reach the very top.
—
At this moment, within the seventh layer of the [Order] Tower—the Lava World—
A crimson glow dominated the entire realm.
Scorching magma flowed across the ground, while waves of intense heat surged from all directions, turning the place into a colossal pressure cooker.
Hovering above the lava, Lord of Stars and the other gods were drenched in sweat, their skin flushed red from the unbearable heat.
Even for divine beings, the oppressive temperature made it feel as if they were melting.
From within the roiling magma below, countless Fire Elementals, under the Celestial’s command, hurled lava and unleashed fiery attacks, assaulting Lord of Stars and his companions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battlefield reverberated with deafening clashes, each impact raising the temperature to even greater extremes.
Among the divine warriors was Fire God, who stood in his domain.
At this moment, he resembled a living volcano. He braced himself against the onslaught, his enormous form shattering and erupting into flaming debris, only to swiftly regenerate.
Within this fire-drenched land, Fire God was virtually invincible.
But though they could endure, they could not break through the barriers of this world.
"You break through the boundary to the eighth layer—I will hold them off!"
Fire God roared, his volcanic form expanding further, his surface glowing white-hot as he erupted with an uncontrollable surge of lava, countering the attacks of the Fire Elementals.
"Together!"
Just as Lord of Stars, Specter Lord, and Soul Beast were about to strike, a dazzling brilliance suddenly erupted across the battlefield!
In an instant, everything in sight was consumed by an ocean of pure white light!

The deafening roars of battle vanished in the radiance, leaving the world in utter silence.
Everyone froze in shock.
"Endless Radiance!"
"This is God of Light’s power!"
Recognizing the divine presence, Soul Beast, Lord of Stars, and the others turned toward the source, a rare smile forming on their lips.
"That guy always has to make a grand entrance."
"But this time, it’s well-timed. His Endless Radiance is unparalleled in breaking world barriers."
As the blinding light faded, they saw that the Fire Elementals had been completely driven away, the searing heat significantly diminished.
Above them, a rift of divine light had torn through the sky, radiating a powerful void energy.
And before it, God of Light stood proudly, smiling as he met their eyes.
"Long time no see, God of Light."
Fire God, Soul Beast, and the others, all veterans of the Pantheon, grinned at him.
"Long time no see," God of Light replied. "This time, we fight side by side again."
"This time, we will not fail."
