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

Chapter 325: Chapter322-The Iron-Fisted Rule of the Villainous Queen



Compared to her sister, this younger sister felt a vast gap.

Even the previously rebellious Nidhogg and the others noticeably lowered their heads, their expressions shifting like a stormy sky.

As Madelyn considered Leslie, various thoughts surged within her. Leslie, however, looked at her coolly and questioned:

"Since you've already planned to eliminate disloyal subjects, why not act on it?"

"Being indecisive, your heart lacks resolve!"

Madelyn pouted, feeling a bit bullied, and half-heartedly replied, "You say it so easily; he's too strong..."

Before Madelyn could finish her sentence, Leslie turned her gaze toward Nidhogg.

"Since he's too strong and you aren't his match, I'll help you weaken him!"

The moment Leslie's gaze fell upon him, Nidhogg sensed a wave of danger, as if he had instantly descended from Heaven into Hell.

Before Leslie even made her move, every hair on his body stood on end.

He knew he was absolutely no match for Leslie!

This was the only thought racing through Nidhogg's mind, clear and intense, leaving him feeling despair.

After all, a God Emperor-level mage was already among the top-tier existences. Even when facing the pinnacle of God Emperors, he felt he could hold his ground.

Yet now, Leslie brought him an immediate sense of hopelessness, her depths inscrutable like a fog.

But the next moment, his pride as a world-class prodigy surged back!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He had achieved the Body of the Arcane God, granting him exceptional resistance to magic! In a true battle, he might not be her inferior!

As thoughts flickered through his mind, Leslie raised her hand, and a tempest of ice and snow coalesced, transforming the area into a wintry world howling with cold!

Nidhogg, filled with ambition, barely had time to react before the scene twisted and warped around him.

The hall had morphed into an icy realm, suddenly severing the previous environment!

When had he fallen into such a trap?!

Nidhogg's heart quaked.

The howling winds were like cold blades, piercing through his flesh and blood, stabbing him relentlessly!

Flesh was cleaved by the ice, and that piercing pain almost made his scalp explode, causing him to scream in agony. Yet, at that moment, the icy winds surged into his body, simultaneously tearing apart his organs!

In the endless torment, his pride in the Body of the Arcane God had barely any effect, instead leaving him dazed, losing all sense of time...

At that moment, everyone in the hall gazed at Leslie in sheer horror.

Within the swirling storm of snow and wind in her palm, Nidhogg was being tormented endlessly by the ice, fully visible to them.

His wails sent chills down their spines, especially since the flow of time seemed to differ drastically from the outside world.

While a mere moment passed outside, it felt as if countless years had elapsed within the icy realm.

During this time, Nidhogg endured relentless pain, as if trapped in an inferno of frost. Just watching left them weak-kneed and chilled to the bone!

Ten years passed!

Leslie remained the high and mighty Snow Queen!

Not long after, when Nidhogg was pushed to the brink of mental collapse, the icy world shattered explosively, its terrifying shockwave instantly obliterating Nidhogg's body and spirit into countless light particles!

Nidhogg is dead?

Everyone was stunned; with their bodies and spirits destroyed, no mage could survive.

However, in their perception, Nidhogg did not die; instead, he reappeared in the hall, his presence significantly weakened, as if he had been annihilated and then reformed.

Upon reappearing in the hall, Nidhogg stood in shock for several breaths, his pale, lifeless eyes slowly regaining focus.

The lingering pain in his nerves and spirit made him tremble uncontrollably.

Though his body had reassembled here, he had endured the explosion and brutal disintegration.

It felt as though he had traversed countless hells in an endless cycle, his gaze filled with sorrow and pain, mixed with a profound regret.

Leslie's power was indeed terrifying. He had reached the God Emperor level, yet in Leslie's hands, he couldn't withstand a single blow!

Just how terrifying was her combat power now?

He had the feeling that if Leslie hadn't intended to use him as a warning to others, he would have already perished permanently, rather than endure endless suffering.

Now, even though he had come back to life, his tier had fallen to the God King level, and his once-mighty Body of the Arcane God had been nearly erased.

In this state and strength, even the most ordinary God King-level mage could obliterate him!

The other factions, including the dragon race, were astonished.

They were not surprised that Leslie could suppress a God Emperor-level Nidhogg.

Before Epoch's End, Leslie, leveraging the Ice Emperor's bloodline, had already been capable

of annihilating God Emperors, a threat to those at the Archgod level.

Now, ten years later, their power and levels had seen a great leap; there was no reason for Leslie's level and strength not to have risen.

She was second only to Owen in talent!

Yet, they hadn't expected that Leslie could annihilate Nidhogg without breaking a sweat and then distort time and space to reconstruct him.

This was far beyond mere annihilation!

Reconstruction was undoubtedly more difficult than destruction.

Previously, although Leslie's level was inscrutable, they could at least sense it; now, Leslie

stood there like a bottomless abyss.

They couldn't even gauge Leslie's upper limits!

Over the past ten years, they had exerted every effort to close the gap with Owen and Leslie, but now it seemed the gap had widened even more!

Leslie's comprehension of time, space, and mana had reached an unfathomable level!

"Your Majesty, this isn't my decision alone; it's the will of millions from Emberveil

Kingdom!"

Nidhogg, filled with utmost fear of Leslie, could only invoke the citizens of Emberveil

Kingdom to absolve himself and shift the blame for his treason!

Leslie paid no heed to Nidhogg, instead looking at Madelyn.

"He violated our previous agreement and deserves death. Since you said you aren't his match,

then you should kill him yourself!"

Madelyn had long harbored the intent to kill Nidhogg, but considering the considerable influence he wielded over Emberveil Kingdom, she hesitated, "Your Majesty, I would like to

consult the Emperor's opinion."

She had never truly annihilated another mage before; it was difficult for her to bring herself to

kill Nidhogg.

Moreover, she knew that with Leslie's reclusive training completed, Azure Kingdom was undoubtedly stable. Instead, she was concerned about Owen.

"Since you can't decide, then let's make it simple," Leslie said, turning her gaze to Nidhogg. "Since you represent the will of Emberveil Kingdom's people, today I'll let you leave."

Let Nidhogg leave?

Everyone looked at Leslie in astonishment.

Nidhogg was also stunned; she had just attacked him without mercy!

Why was she now showing leniency?

He sensed something was off but couldn't pinpoint the reason. Still, being allowed to live, he

was naturally content with the outcome.

He quickly whisked away the eight generals, already frozen solid, as if afraid Leslie would

change her mind at any moment.

Leslie not killing him might be an attempt to craft a benevolent image, changing everyone's

perception!

As long as he returned to Emberveil Kingdom, he should be safe!

Seeing Nidhogg indeed take the eight generals and leave without Leslie stopping him, others

watched in astonishment, wondering if the Empress had changed after spending so much

time with the Emperor.

But even Owen wouldn't have let him go!

And this was entirely inconsistent with Leslie's cold and merciless nature.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Leslie coolly stated:

"Since he wishes to leave, then let him leave this world entirely. Madelyn, this matter falls to

you: treason from Emberveil Kingdom leads to annihilation of the nation and extermination

of its people!"
