The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

The moment Klaus absorbed the bodies of the monsters, his cultivation shot up from level 4 to level 8, Ascendant stage, leaving him only a step from becoming a Void stage warrior.

“This feels good, but I am still lacking. I must become a Void stage warrior before the awakening.”

Klaus sighed before staring at everyone.

“Good job, everyone. Let’s go back and celebrate this win.”

They could only nod and then started to retreat to the mainland.

Klaus waited for all of them to move away before flying back to the cloud. He entered the spaceship and soon left the sea behind.

When he was gone, the lady who had visited the five overlords of the sea appeared again. She looked at the blood-soaked red, and a smile formed on her lips.

“It is almost time. Are you ready?” she muttered, looking into the distance where Klaus and his team had retreated.

She stayed behind for a couple of seconds before she vanished.

Klaus and his team returned to Dream City, a new city that Ohema’s company was constructing. It used to belong to the Savage zombies, but now that they were no more, Ohema saw it best to build a city there.

The mood in the city was one filled with cheers and happiness.

Both the humans and the Bast race started celebrating their win.

Jane even joined them in the celebration, for this was her first big celebration with humans after growing up around zombies that wanted to eat her at any moment.

Meanwhile, far away from Earth, Klaus was speeding away with King Atlan in the spaceship.

With the new upgrades in place, the speed had increased tremendously. Also, the void drive was now recharging every 30 minutes, with a 350,000-mile jump every time.

“So, where is your body currently?” Klaus asked after checking with the AI agent that everything was normal.

“I will be somewhere in the Sea Universe.” King Atlan replied, and Klaus nodded.

“And how strong were you before forming the secondary soul?”

“Before this mission, I was nearing the Immortal King stage. But after many years asleep, I am sure I would have already regressed to the Early Immortal stage.”

“I see.” Klaus nodded again with a thoughtful expression.

The same thing happened to Nyxthar and the doom guards. They were powerful beings before the Eternal Sleep. But after thousands, perhaps millions, of years passed, they all regressed.

So it wasn’t too weird to hear King Atlan had long regressed and might not even be an immortal anymore when he wakes up.

“My Lord, if you have anything you want done, you can let me know. Even if I don’t have the means to get it done, I will probably have many immortals running to help if they knew it was an order from you.”

Klaus smiled. Being called lord felt weird, but after many failed attempts to make King Atlan call him by his name, he could only accept it.

“It is just that some very important people dear to me will be making their way to the human universe soon. I would appreciate it if you could look for them and point them in the right direction.

They are heading toward Earth, but they don’t actually know its location. I managed to get them a general idea, but having a more narrow direction will go a long way.”

Klaus sighed, “I don’t know when they will get there, but I know they are on their way here.”

“If you don’t mind me asking, are they related to you by blood?”

“Yes.”

“Then don’t worry, my lord. Finding them will be easy… I happen to know someone for the job.”

Yet again, Klaus raised his brow, “You do?”

“Yes. Long ago, a scholar who enjoys history became fascinated by the concept of paragons, so he began researching them. One thing led to another, and he found me.

I asked how he managed to locate me, and he said he can track those who have blood affiliation to a paragon.

I nearly killed him, but I later found out he was also related to you. I don’t know how, but he shared your blood, and so I know if he is still out there, which I know he will be, I will find him, and knowing him, he will be more than happy to help.”

Klaus didn’t know what to think. The idea of sharing blood relations with someone out there he wasn’t even aware of was just too much to take in.

But he had his suspicions, and one of them was that this mysterious person must be related to the Star Monarch bloodline.

He knew for a fact he had not given birth in any of the lives he had lived, so having descendants wasn’t one of them.

The second theory was that, in a way, the Asura race he created and thought extinct still live. Though it was less likely, he didn’t want to wipe that idea from his mind.

So for now, he could only hope.

“The one that will be arriving is a dragon. She is very arrogant, and knowing her, she is probably angry at the moment, so I apologize for her arrogance in advance,” Klaus laughed.

Thyra, his dragon Paragon guard, was the true definition of arrogance, so he knew she would cause trouble when she started having trouble finding what she was looking for now that Yuying was asleep.

“I will keep that in mind.” King Atlan also laughed.

“Now, tell me more about the universe.”

King smiled and began to tell Klaus what he knew from before he came on this mission. The ship was zipping through space like a beam.

“The universe is vast. Before my mission, I had visited the human part of the universe frequently. Of course, we call it the human universe because the several galaxies in it are regarded as one big universe.

There are many powerful people hidden within them, with the most impressive of them all being the Supreme Humans.

In fact, the Supreme Court is among the powerful royal families in the universe. I have met a few of them, but while I can claim to be powerful, they are on another level.

The Celestial Emperor is the strongest in the human universe, and on the other side of the universe. There are other Celestial Emperors in the other universes.

However, among all Celestial Emperors, it is the Angel Celestial Emperor who is the strongest. Naturally, the strongest race before I came on the mission was the Angel race.

I also know of the dragons, but they are too arrogant, so I never dare go there for fear that they will crush me to pulp.” King Atlan laughed.

“The universe is chaotic, and the only way to survive is to grow stronger. One day you will find your way there, and you will see firsthand how dangerous the universe can be and what you must do to survive.”

“So, who is the strongest?” Klaus asked.

“The Supreme Celestial, leader of the Heavens Cult and the true enemy of any paragon who has ever lived. It would be best if you could ignore him for as long as you can.

Trust me, the Heaven’s Cult is no enemy you are prepared for.

Also, the Devil Faction is one of your enemies. But they are manageable since they don’t have anything that can put you down for good, or so they make everyone believe.

That said, it will be best if you don’t reveal your true self immediately upon appearing in the universe.”

“Don’t worry, King Atlan, I have lived long enough to know how to play ball with those idiots.”

King Atlan nodded and continued to share more about the universe with Klaus, drawing on memories from several years ago.

Ten hours later, the ship arrived on Mars.
