Chapter 229: Chapter229-The Three God Kings!
Beneath the purple sky, beams of light poured down.
As the mana within a radius of several dozen miles gathered, three figures became more and more distinct, especially the dazzling divine halos behind their heads, exuding an endless aura of majesty that made it impossible to look directly at their faces.
Owen and Leslie squinted, their eyes flashing with the power of [Order], recognizing the three figures before them.
To the left stood Sophia, the Cardinal of the Truth Church.
In the center was Gabriel, one of the Four Kings of the God Realm, known as the Stella God.
To the right was Isaac, the founding dean of Melodic Academy.
Around them swirled an invisible, mighty wind.
Their robes moved as if blown by a breeze, ribbons fluttering.
Countless strands of mana seemed to celebrate their presence, shifting from violent storms to gentle breezes at their whim.
They were beings who had surpassed god-tier and reached the level of God Kings!
As they fully materialized, the space beneath their feet collapsed, revealing faint stars, their brilliant light seemingly supporting them and making them appear as the masters of the world.
Leslie, staring at the terrifying aura of the three God Kings, found her breathing growing heavier. Just their mere presence here was an overwhelming pressure.
She glanced sideways at Owen, her expression serious as she asked, “Is it just the three of them?”
Owen narrowed his eyes, his immense mind power spreading out, covering the space behind them, and then slowly shook his head.
“No, it’s not just the three of them.”
As he spoke, the space behind the three God Kings trembled, revealing several more figures of imposing presence.
Though these people were far weaker than the God Kings, they were all still god-tier mages.
Owen chuckled, “Well, this just got interesting.”
The presence of three God Kings was an unmistakable sign that they had come to kill him!
After all, in Middle Earth, god-tier mages were considered the strongest on the surface, while God Kings had not appeared for many years.
Yet now, because of him, three had come at once.
Even Owen felt immense pressure rising in his heart.
However, feeling the black origami crane pulsating in his hand, his expression relaxed considerably.
The purpose of the black crane had already become clear in his mind.
If it came down to the final moment, it would surely give these three God Kings a huge surprise!
Noticing the change in Owen’s expression, Leslie whispered, “Still going with the plan?”
Owen nodded firmly, then instructed the others behind them to retreat for now.
This level of conflict was no longer something they could be a part of.
At that moment, an invisible pressure descended from the sky, like countless chains wrapping around the area where Owen stood, layer upon layer sealing it off.
Then, from the cold and imposing figure of the Stella God, who stood high above in the starry sky, came a voice filled with the power of [Order].
“Owen, do you know your crime?”
Though it sounded like a question, the tone left no room for argument, full of arrogant superiority.
As the majestic voice of the God King spread far and wide, the minds of everyone present, as well as those watching through the Mana View projection, were filled with thunderous echoes.
Their knees grew weak, and they instinctively wanted to kneel, acknowledging their mistakes.
Even the Three Kings, who were god-tier mages, were stunned for a moment before realizing what had happened, their faces showing a mix of awe and dread.
They had anticipated that the God Realm and the Truth Church would likely target Owen, but they never expected a God King to personally issue the judgment!
“It’s really aimed at Master Owen. Three God Kings showing up… they’re leaving him no way out!”
“Sigh, Middle Earth is nearly completely dominated by the God Realm now. We were hoping someone like Master Owen could break the status quo. Hopefully, after he admits his guilt, they’ll spare him.”
“A God King is unbeatable. Master Owen is in grave danger this time…”
“These three forces are truly despicable. To deal with Master Owen, they’ve sent out their strongest.”
“Great talent invites trouble. No matter how strong Owen’s talent is, if he doesn’t know how to restrain himself without power and background, it’s a dead end!”
“Exactly. Owen might be amazing, but he’s still just a youngster. Did he really think no one in Middle Earth could control him? Now that three God Kings have personally come for him, even if he dies, he’ll go down in history.”
The crowd kept their heads respectfully lowered, paying homage to the God Kings while whispering among themselves.
Nearly everyone believed that Owen was doomed this time.
After all, even a single God King could annihilate all mages beneath that level.
And now there were three legendary God Kings here.
Many just hoped Owen would surrender so they might spare his life.
As more and more eyes turned toward Owen, the pressure of the three God Kings bearing down on him, instead of looking terrified, Owen raised his head and coldly asked:
“Accuse me of a crime? May I ask, Three God Kings, what crime have I committed?”
Owen’s voice grew louder and louder until it echoed like thunder.
Countless mages watching were in disbelief.
Owen hadn’t surrendered but was instead questioning the God Kings?
How dare he?!
The mages of Middle Earth felt their scalps tingle and their throats dry up.
They didn’t even dare look at the faces of the Three God Kings.
Boom!
As Owen’s voice rang out into the sky, space around the three God Kings shattered.
Endless chaotic energy swirled, forming small worlds before collapsing and exploding in terrifying displays that struck fear into everyone’s hearts.
As God Kings, their words were law, an unstoppable force since time immemorial.
But now, a mere master-tier mage, Owen, dared to publicly question them before all of Middle Earth.
This was the first time they had encountered such defiance.
But soon, they brushed off their surprise, believing Owen’s words to be nothing more than the ravings of a desperate man.
Furious, the Stella God, Gabriel, bellowed:
“How dare you!”
“You destroyed the Pyrothrone King and disrupted the order of Middle Earth!”
“You seek to restore the Godslayer Staff, throwing Middle Earth into chaos!”
“You disrespect the God Kings and defy our will!”
“A lawless criminal like you dares to argue here?!”
“Your crimes are punishable by death!”
“Kneel!”
His voice, full of rage, seemed capable of igniting one’s body.
All the mages who heard it felt as if their bodies were melting, and only by kneeling in submission did the sensation ease.
Terrified, they turned to look at Owen.
The mere pressure from the God Kings was unbearable.
Under their command, they were like puppets, helpless.
They couldn’t imagine what kind of terrifying pressure Owen, standing in the eye of this storm, was enduring.
After all, all three God Kings were enraged and wanted him dead.
“Hahaha!”
Just as Gabriel’s fury reached its peak, Owen suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had just heard the world’s funniest joke.
As the three God Kings frowned and the surrounding space cracked, Owen stopped laughing and raised his middle finger at them.
“Pah!”
“You’re still putting on airs?”
“From Kaldan to Taylor to the Pyrothrone King, and now you hypocrites. All of you targeting me, isn’t it just for the Godslayer Staff in my possession?”
“If you had the guts to say so outright, I’d respect you for being straightforward. But here you are, spouting nonsense. You’re nothing but trash!”
“If you want it, come down and take it yourselves!”
Owen’s barrage of insults left the already shocked crowd completely dumbfounded, their mouths agape in disbelief.
God Kings!
These were three God Kings!
People who must be greeted on one’s knees, beings you would listen to while kneeling in absolute terror, the true rulers of Middle Earth!
And yet, Owen had the audacity to hurl insults at them!
His actions were something no one else would dare, even with a hundred lives to spare.
Yet here was Owen, fearlessly lashing out at them face to face!
