The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Klaus led Vida, the Zhou twins, and Kilian away from the location of the Angel statues.

He couldn’t help but let his mind wander to the fact that in his possession now are 4007 statues of ancient angels whose power may in a way even surpass that of the Supremes of the current era.

The uptight bow Angel he met was, in fact, a Supreme. This made him several times happier.

’Even if ten of my people were able to become disciples of these angels, then their combat power wouldn’t only be several times stronger, but they would also have life-saving treasures.’

Klaus’s heartbeat slowed down, and then he became so excited.

’I don’t know how, but the statues are more than they appear. Maybe one of these days I will learn more about them, and perhaps that will be when I will know how they come about.’

’I wonder what kind of race the other six collections will be.’

Klaus smiled, leading the three ladies and Kilian in the opposite direction from the Angel statues.

’According to Lady Eleven, this is but the first level of the Cave. If it is already this powerful, who is to say the second up to the 9th level would be any different?’

Perhaps noting the mood Klaus was in, Vida held his hand and leaned in, “You seem happy,” she whispered just enough for only Klaus to hear.

“Of course, I am happy. You may not realize it yet, but this place is something Celestials will kill to possess. Do you have any idea how valuable even one of these statues is?”

Vida couldn’t help sucking in a cold breath.

“Now I can sense you are worried, love. Makes me wonder if you think the current strength we have isn’t enough to face the heavens.”

This time, even the Zhou twins and Kilian heard Vida’s words, causing them to pay more attention to Klaus.

Klaus paused and turned around, facing his three friends, while Vida remained in his arms. “To tell you the truth, if we were only facing Planet Nebu, then although it would be chaotic, I believe we would have managed it somehow.

However, for reasons I can’t disclose to you now, the heavens wouldn’t make things easy for us. However, many years ago, I made a promise to myself that while I am still breathing, I wouldn’t let the heavens touch anyone or anything I care about.

I care about you all, and I care about the Earth.

As to whether our current strength is enough to face the heavens or not, I don’t think that is the correct question.

The most logical question should be how far the heavens would go and how dirty they are willing to play to ensure everything I love is ripped away.”

Klaus’s eyes turned cold, “I wouldn’t allow them to do that, and you all are going to help me. So yes, we are not sufficient to face them, but we will be because I will make sure of that.”

His cold look melted, and Klaus smiled, “So lighten up and be ready because by the time we are done, the heavens won’t know what hit them.”

[You can just tell them the truth, brat. I know worlds much bigger than yours, but in just 55 years, your world has already become so strong that annihilating those worlds in mere hours is possible. So perhaps tell them they are ready to face the awakening.]

Klaus smiled, hearing the senior’s words enter his head.

’I know that would indeed make them happy. However, until the last minute, I want them to keep training, and that is the only way they will remain in their peak for what is coming.’

The senior didn’t say anything for a couple of seconds. Eventually, a chuckle escaped his mouth…

[You know, I once found a cave that used to belong to a scholar who specialized in gathering knowledge about Paragons. It was through him that I discovered Paragons aren’t actually bad.

However, I also found out from him that Paragons aren’t like us. They are beings from outside this universe, as their abnormality is beyond this universe.

Now that I’m listening to you, I can see that his deduction was right.

A being of this universe will be celebrating by now. But here we are, already calculating what else can be done to make you and your legion even stronger.

If this scholar is right and you are not from this universe, why don’t I share some words that are familiar to all beings in this Universe? Live a little, Klaus, the world is not coming to an end just yet.]

Klaus smiled even more.

In the distance, Klaus saw a large temple with three large statues of dragons coiling in front of it. The middle one was much larger than the two beside it.

It also had golden emeralds for eyes, and the two beside it had green and blue emerald eyes.

Even from many km away, Klaus could feel the pressure coming from these statues. He looked at Vida and the Zhou twins and saw a dragon symbol appear on their foreheads.

The symbol on Vida’s forehead was golden, while the one on Ling’s forehead was blue, and the green was shining on Zing’s forehead.

A few minutes later, they approached the statues. Before Klaus could even do anything, the golden emerald eyes on the statue in the middle shone brightly, causing his consciousness to slip from his body.

Klaus appeared in a large field standing between three large mountains. They formed a triangle around him.

ROAR

The moment he appeared, a powerful dragon roar came from one of the mountains, and the sky suddenly turned dark.

“Holy moly,” Klaus took a few steps back, but was forced to move forward again when something landed behind him.

Around him, three large dragons, unlike anything he had seen before, landed, creating a triangle in the same fashion as the mountains.

The monarchs he once had inside the Pentaface/Demon bead were mere chickens before these three dragons.

He realized by the color of their scales that the one in the middle and facing him directly was the strongest. It had golden eyes, and some parts of its scales had golden colors.

Klaus’s eyes widened when he also noticed that aside from the golden parts of the scales, there were five transparent dragon scales, with the sixth almost transparent.

He sucked in a cold breath.

“What an interesting tiny human.” The middle golden-scale dragon spoke, causing Klaus’s very soul to shake.

On the outside, blood came from Klaus’s nose and eyes, causing his friends to pale. They were all locked in place by an invisible aura preventing them from coming to Klaus’s aid.

Klaus looked at the golden-scale dragon with a calm gaze despite the aura bearing down on him.

“I am still weak,” Klaus muttered, causing the three dragons to tilt their heads sideways. They couldn’t understand why Klaus would say something like that.

All three of them were Supremes or at least had been Supremes back in the day, so for a mere Void stage warrior to measure himself to them and deduce he still wasn’t strong enough… they just couldn’t wrap their minds around it.

Klaus raised his head and straightened his posture. “You can’t force me to kneel. That wouldn’t happen. Not even the heavens were able to accomplish that in nine lifetimes.”

The three dragons narrowed their eyes at Klaus.
