The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

[North Atlantic Ocean – Bermuda Triangle: Undersea]

The dome housing the scientist began to break down due to the force exerted by the decaying formation.

It was expanding, and when it finally reached a certain level, it would break and finally unleash whatever was sealed away.

Inside the dome, the scientist started panicking, all of them feeling like this is the end for them.

“I never expected the best job in the whole world to be this dangerous,” One scientist said, sitting in his chair, watching as the dome slowly breaks apart.

“All the work done over the last decade will be lost just like that,” Another said, watching the transmission slow down gradually.

His only desire at the moment was to send all the data they’ve gathered over the years to the surface. If anything, he only wanted that to be sent to the surface.

However, due to interference in the water, most of this data is stored on local servers and is manually retrieved periodically.

The last time that was done was a decade ago, and now, they will not only lose their data but also their home.

They’ve lived over 6,000 meters deep under the sea for many years gathering underwater data and examining the formation, gathering all they could.

But now, now it is all falling apart.

“Soon, the cloaking tech will wear off, which will draw the attention of the sea beasts. The moment that happens, saving us becomes impossible, and knowing my bad luck, my death will be very horrible.”

Doctor Shyla said, taking an image of a lady with brown skin, like hers, but clad in leather armor, wielding a spear. Judging by their resemblance, it was clear they were sisters.

A smile appeared on her face as she continued to stare at the image.

“Cloaking Integrity compromised.” Suddenly, a mechanised sound played inside the dome, making all scientists turn pale.

“Several unidentified objects approaching,” The same mechanised sound said, accompanied by several red dots speeding toward them.

“Ah, what the hell. I guess this is it, you all. It’s been a pleasure working with you all these past 47 years. If there is a life after this, we should spend another several years under the sea studying the mysteries of nature,” Dr. Shyla said, a smile on her face.

Soon, a powerful force slammed into the dome, shaking violently.

Dr Shyla looked at her team, and a pained look appeared on her face.

As one of the brilliant minds of her generation, she was like an idol to them. So watching the 13 scientists who believed in her die just like that was just too painful.

Another beast slammed into the dome, and this time, a large crack appeared. Soon, the cracks began to multiply, until the first one widened, and water began to pour inside.

[The Surface]

King T’Shan appeared on he surface two minutes after the first crack widened, stopping over the location of the underground research base.

His speed in arriving was fast, but looking at the surging water, he knew it wouldn’t be possible to get down to the scientist.

He would have to fight his way down there, and by the time he gets there, everything will be over. He knew that, and that was why he didn’t dive in.

He knew he was too late.

The elders, the queen, General Sahran, and Princess Eshira appeared three seconds later.

“We are late,” Queen Nayiri said, looking at the surging ocean.

“I can sense more than five Tier 12 beasts down there.” One of the elders said. He wasn’t even done when a layer of the broken dome floated to the surface, telling everyone what they already suspected.

A collective sigh escaped their lips as they watched more broken layers of the dome float to the surface, and then more computers and other things that can float started floating out.

They could only watch all these things appear with sudden expressions.

“Strange,” Princess Eshira said, looking at the items floating out.

Her mother sensed something, too, so she turned and looked at her, and like twins, they both asked the same question.

“Where is the blood?”

“What blood?” King T’Shan asked, looking at his wife and daughter. Queen Nayiri answered.

“Even though they are underground, if they died from the attack of a beast, I am sure the blood will come out, so where is the blood?”

The king finally realised what the queen said was true, so without any hesitation, unleashed his advanced sense and scanned several miles wide. That was when his eyes widened.

“This…”

Without a word, he moved, and the rest followed. Soon, they saw what made them widen their eyes and sigh in relief.

There, far from the boiling sea, sitting inside a lifeboat are all 14 scientists, perfectly healthy and in shock.

“How…” The elders asked, each looking very shocked.

They moved and were soon in front of the lifeboat.

“My king,” Dr. Shyra said, bowing slightly, unable to even stand up. The other scientist in the lifeboat followed her gesture and bowed as well.

“Are you all okay?” King T’Shara asked.

“We are fine, my king.”

“How are you all fine?” General Sahran asked, looking around to see if he might spot something unusual. To him, seeing the scientist alive was a sign that something much bigger had happened, and he intended to find out.

“We were saved.”

“By who?”

Princess Eshira asked.

“He said his name is Klaus Hanson, the most handsome warrior to ever walk the earth,” Dr. Shyra answered, a little hesitant to add the last part, but she did.

Be it the queen, the elders, the general, or the king, everyone was left stunned. It was only Princess Eshira who seemed happy to hear that.

“But how? How can a mere Transcendent save all 14 of you within minutes from a horde of beasts?” An elder asked, not believing what he had just heard.

Dr Shyra looked at him and answered, “I also don’t know. One second, we were ready to die; the next, he appeared inside the dome, and before long, we were on the surface. He even bought us a few seconds to take all we needed before saving us.”

“Did he say something else or suspect you aren’t normal humans?” Princess Eshira asked, and Dr. Shyra nodded.

“He did. He said I should tell you to hurry up and come because he misses KKKickinIt. Aside from that, he also said he is on vacation, so we shouldn’t disturb him for the next two weeks, saying something along the lines, ’My beauties need me’.

Then he left”

Everyone was stunned.

“Who is KKKickinIt?” Queen Nayiri asked, her gaze fixed on her daughter. She can tell Princess Eshira is happy, and that prompts her to ask.

Of course, as expected, she blushed, “KKKickinIt’ was my persona in the human world.”

“So you and this Klaus knew each other,” General Sahran asked.

“Yes. We aren’t the best of friends, perhaps not even friends, but I have interacted with him a few times, which is why I said he is not someone simple.

This goes to you, elders. He may be a mere Transcendent, but he can’t be taken lightly. So remember that before you make any mistake, we both will regret it later.”

She looked at her mother and smiled, “I am leaving.”

“Where are you going?” The king asked.

“Back to the humans, of course. I’d better be the one who tells him about us before you Men go and anger him. He is not friendly when angry.”

With that, she flew away.
