The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Klaus looked at his soul bodies, and all he could think of was how much power he currently possessed.

They had just told him all they could offer, and while most of them were strange and weird, with the only normal one being Efad, he was shocked at what each and every last one of them could do.

For starters, he wouldn’t have to worry about sitting down to comprehend the laws, skills, techniques, and others. His soul bodies had that covered.

They have the means to comprehend the laws and even use them to build their domain.

The best part is that, since they each had lived different lives, the versatility in domain comprehension and conceptualization would vary, making Klaus someone with a domain from nine different perspectives.

In a way, he would have nine domains merged into one when the time comes.

He already has nine innate domains.

The first is the innate domain of Arrogance and Defiance. Paragon, the first incarnation, brought this domain when he awakened.

This domain works close to the heart, for inside this domain, Klaus would always have the means to say no or look down on his opponent.

Naturally, the opponent would feel their resolve weakened and, to some extent, even feel their will (Dao Heart) disturbed while inside.

It is a complex domain, and the first incarnation (soul body) will naturally be dedicated to evolving into a powerful domain in the future.

After all, arrogance came naturally to him.

The second is the innate domain of Divine Retribution. Knox, the second incarnation, came with this incredibly powerful domain.

Klaus can already see himself using it to punish his foe.

The third is the innate domain of Blood and Carnage. The Asura god was more than happy to sing praises of this innate domain to Klaus.

The first and only effect he had so far over that domain was the ability to grow stronger when surrounded by blood.

It is purely for combat, and Klaus already loves it. The more blood there is on the battlefield, the stronger he becomes.

It was no wonder the Asura god was considered a powerful warrior back in his day.

The fourth is the innate domain of Illusions and Poison. Fruity being the owner of that domain was a clear sign that Klaus’s illusion and poisonous nature were deeply rooted to his existence.

He had already mastered the ‘World of Illusion’ skill to some degree, so he knew things weren’t just going to be about the domain.

But he also knew that with a 400% boost in the strength of his illusion and poison while inside this domain, who knows what would become of him?

The innate domain of Shadows was, of course, from his fifth incarnation, giving Klaus the power to control the shadows inside this domain. He was literally a shadow god inside this domain.

Then came the innate domain of Death, where the more death on the battlefield, the stronger he gets.

In fact, all Klaus had to do was be on the battlefield. Regardless of whether he was the one who did the killing or not, he would grow stronger indefinitely.

Even if his side of the battle was dying, he would continue to grow stronger and keep growing until there was no more death.

Klaus set Orien aside and planned to talk to him later, once all was set and done with the other soul bodies. The nature of this domain was one that, when it manifested into a full-blown domain, would make him a monster capable of harnessing the power of death to some degree.

Of course, he had gained Death’s approval to use its power, but with the domain, he would become death itself.

Then came Magnus’s innate domain.

It was the domain of War and Slaughter.

It was similar to Asura’s domain, but this one had to do with war.

While more blood would make him stronger thanks to Asura, the innate domain of War and Slaughter had only one principle: the more Klaus kills, the more chaotic the war becomes for his opponents.

It would start with confusion, then distrust, and then division that would ultimately turn to betrayal. If the battle went on for a while, the chances of his opponents starting to kill each other would be high.

The eighth domain was the innate domain of Elements.

This one allowed Klaus to use his elements much more efficiently. If he had some understanding of the elemental law, it would become much stronger inside this domain.

The last one is the innate domain of Life. It is the opposite of the domain of Death. Of course, Orien is the opposite of Efad, so it was only fitting to have both the Yin and Yang in the context that Efad is the Yang.

The innate domain of life makes Klaus almost an immortal.

His healing abilities would be elevated inside this domain. And while Klaus didn’t have to worry about his health thanks to the Immortal Forbidden Ice, now, with the combination of the domain of Life and the domain of Elements, Klaus had indeed reached the point where killing him would be nearly impossible.

“You nine are monsters,” Klaus said with a smile, pulling on Paragon’s cheeks. It felt weird, but looking at the cute dragon child who held no respect for him, he couldn’t hold himself back.

“Let go of me, brat.” Paragon tried to wiggle his way out of Klaus’s hold, but he failed at every attempt.

Efad, being the only normal one among them, laughed, making Klaus feel good somehow.

It wasn’t too weird for him to have nine soul bodies, but the fact that eight of them were psychos was concerning. However, one of them managed to come out normal.

“Too bad you guys can’t take up arms and join me on the battlefield.”

“What do you expect? We are merely children and not even full primordial spirits, simply because you are too lazy to reach the Ascension stage,” Paragon pointed at Klaus, clearly pissed that Klaus played with him like he were a child.

Klaus just laughed. “Don’t worry, I will reach the Ascension stage someday, and then after you nine become Primordial Spirits and form your physical bodies, you can roam the universe looking for ways we can grow much stronger.

For now, you have to make sure all my skills and techniques are mastered to the highest level.”

Paragon clearly didn’t like the order given to him by Klaus, but he had to obey because, at the end of the day, he wanted the same thing as Klaus, because they are one and the same person.

“I will create better Spirit Master skills for you,” Paragon said, flying toward the first star, where all the spirit weapons were. Klaus just watched him leave, knowing the arrogant dragon would soon come to love his job.

“I will make sure the next time you use your death abilities, you don’t run the risk of dying.” Orien, the sixth incarnation, also left.

“You are now a vampire, so Magnus and I will work together to make you the greatest blood manipulator there is.” Asura and Magnus also left, flying into the third star, where they entered the door.

“You need better arrows.” Knox also left with his agenda. The others soon left, leaving only Efad.

“They are weird,” Klaus said, and Efad nodded.

“You wanted to talk to me.” Efad looked at Klaus strangely before he nodded.
