The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

“Sit down first,” Klaus gestured at the chair still empty.

The heavens’ Guardian, who was now confused as to what was happening, chose to give in to his curiosity and sat down.

He knew the heavens were watching, and he knew when the two hours were over, he could attack. So he sat down and chose to listen to what Klaus had to say.

If only he knew that was his doom.

“You said your Ancestor is imprisoned at the Timeless Prison…?” Klaus asked, and the heavens’ guardian nodded.

“What if I were to say that information is false?”

“I would say you are lying… I saw her with my own eyes. It was one of the reasons why I joined the heavens court, to prove to the heavens that not all Venom Fangs are followers of a Paragon. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt

If I end up killing you, they will free my Ancestor, and the glory we once had in the universe will be returned to us.”

Klaus shook his head, “How stupid. They truly brainwashed you to the point you can’t see reason.”

Klaus leaned forward and asked, “When you saw your Ancestor, was she in chains, bound to a stone that cannot be broken by even the might of the heavens?”

The heavens’ guardian nodded.

“Were the chains reddish in color and illusory in appearance?”

He nodded again.

“As expected, they really fell for that,” Klaus laughed like an accomplished scammer. The heavens’ guardian looked at him with a confused gaze.

Even the senior inside Klaus’s soul sea couldn’t help but wonder what was going on. What was expected to be the greatest and perhaps the deadliest battle in Klaus’s life had now turned into a trip down memory lane, and from what it looked like, Klaus was winning.

[Just what kind of an existence is a Paragon?]

Klaus looked at the heavens’ Guardian and smiled, “I can’t tell you why your Ancestor was imprisoned, because the heavens are listening.

But what I can say, however, is that if you were to kill me today, not only would it affect you, but it would kill your Ancestor and destroy your world.”

The heavens guardian’s expression shifted to shock.

Klaus stood up and walked away from the heavens’ Guardian. He turned his back on him and said, “Do you really think the heavens couldn’t destroy your world? Let me tell you, if they wanted you gone, they could have done it with the snap of their fingers long time ago.

However, here you are, with a half-awakened bloodline. Your Ancestor is in chains in the Timeless Prison, and your race is still living.

Ask yourself, how is any of this possible?”

Klaus turned and looked at the heavens’ guardian, who now held a pondering expression.

“You are alive now simply because of me. A long time ago, I changed the fate of your people and your world. In other words, you and your people no longer live by the mercy of the heavens but by my mercy.

Although I can’t command you to crawl before me, the moment I die, that authority I have over your world that is preventing the heavens from interfering will become undone.

When that happens, you and your people will become vulnerable, and trust me, once that happens, every last Venom Fang will die, and that includes your Ancestor.

Many other worlds will also fall due to your action. You aren’t the only ones I am protecting. The heavens are very thorough,” Klaus sat back down.

“When Little Poison saved me that day, the heavens had marked your world for death. I came back to save it once, and in doing so, something I never knew was possible happened.

My saving your world changed the fate of your people, and that was what kept you alive. With the heavens unable to hold the fate of your kind, killing them will be extremely dangerous to them.

Any fate touched by a paragon is not something the heavens can easily destroy. Even if they did, it would have caused them dearly.”

Klaus shook his head and smiled, “If I had known something like that would happen, I wouldn’t have come and allowed you all to die. Saving your world added to my Karma, and for that, my suffering only increased.”

There was some hint of melancholy in Klaus’s eyes. “Do you think if I didn’t have too much bad Karma, the heavens would have sent a Domain stage warrior like yourself after me?” Klaus smiled weakly.

He discovered the price he had paid by saving Little Poison’s world years later. By then, under Yuying’s careful care, he had already saved quite a few.

“But I don’t regret saving your kind. In a way, I know that somewhere out there, I still have friends I could count on.

So whatever brainwashing they did to you, it was because they wanted to suppress you, and I mean you. The reason is simple: aside from your Ancestor, you have the means to awaken your bloodline.

In fact, you have partially awakened it. Once you fully awaken it, that innate defiance your Ancestor added to your bloodline will awaken, and that will be when you will know who the heavens are and what they are capable of.”

“I am not telling you this because I am afraid of you. We can fight, and I know I can kill you. However, it will come at a cost that I am not yet willing to pay. So I am telling you this to help you make an informed decision.”

Klaus paused for a moment to allow the heavens’ Guardian to absorb his words before making his statement.

Klaus wasn’t angry that a race he once saved was now an enemy he had to deal with. He naturally didn’t expect the heavens to go this far, brainwashing someone with this much talent.

But then again, it was the heavens he was dealing with here, and for that, he knew their schemes ran deep.

’If they got to the Venom Fangs, then who is to say they haven’t gotten to the others?’ Klaus sighed…

’Looks like I have some home cleaning to do when I leave Earth.’

After a few minutes, Klaus spoke.

“You can either pick up your spear, and when the two hours are over, we will fight, which I know I will win.

Or you accept my offer and retreat, in which I will awaken your bloodline and free you from the hold of the heavens. They can’t kill you, so they want you to kill yourself, and in doing so, your entire race will perish.

Make your choice.”

Klaus leaned back in his throne and closed his eyes.

On the outside, the heavens were raging like berserk beasts. They clearly didn’t like what was happening, but they were also powerless to stop it.

They had already sent the third form of Klaus’s Chaos stage tribulation, so they could only watch unpleasantly.

Perhaps, if they knew this would happen, they wouldn’t have sent someone from a race that once had a relationship with a Paragon.

“Aloy.”

The heavens’ Guardian spoke, urging Klaus to open his eyes.

“My name is Aloy.”

A wicked smile appeared on Klaus’s face. A few minutes later, the domain came undone, and Klaus lifted his head and stared at the heavens…

“Trust me, once all this is over and I manage to save my world, I will dedicate every single moment of my life to making sure you always cry blood. So do well to stop me during the awakening.

Until then, see ya, losers.”

Aloy held the blood frozen in ice and gazed at the heavens. After a few minutes of hesitation, he threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.

The heavens shook and gathered tribulation lightning. They aimed it at Aloy, but Klaus waved his hand, and Aloy vanished into the cube.

With thunderous roars that started causing Mars to disintegrate, they vanished. Klaus looked at the slowly decaying world and sighed. “What a waste.”

He moved and was soon in space. Then he retrieved the Pagoda and entered. Right when he entered, he broke through to the Chaos stage, and his body was immediately encased in a golden cocoon.
