The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

“Good Afternoon, Everyone.” Every screen on Earth changed to show the broadcast that Klaus has asked Queenie to assemble.

With the discovery that there will be only one gate, thanks to Rania and Caelmir’s world, he now has no reason to put the ordinary folk in danger.

If he has to be frank with himself, despite allowing the Great Families to protect the people of Earth, he is still worried the heavens will play some tricks and target them.

However, with the discovery that there would be only one gate, he knew things had to change for the better.

Of course, for Earth to fall, he would have to die first, and well, Klaus has no reason to die just yet.

“First, I want to thank you all for your support during my wedding. I greatly appreciate it. However, today I have a huge announcement.”

Everyone’s focus was now fixed on the screen, listening to Klaus speak.

“Thanks to the hard work of our warriors and scientists, we have discovered a world that can sustain ordinary life. It is similar to Earth, and perfect for us.

So while staying on Earth will make you all feel like you are with us, as warriors, we fight knowing that those we are fighting for are safe.

This is why it is a hard decision to make, but to avoid putting ordinary folk in danger, we have decided to migrate everyone to this new planet.

It will be temporary; however, we will also consider making it a permanent world after the awakening. However, to ensure your safety, we will be relocating you all to Beta Earth, and yes, that is the name of this new planet.

Please prepare, and don’t worry about supplies, as we will transport everything over before the awakening arrives.

I am deeply sorry if my decision in any way causes you to lose anything, but for your safety, we will be sending you all to this new world. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NoveIＦire.net

Thank you”

Right when Klaus ended the broadcast, the whole internet went wild, with everybody panicking about whether Earth was safe.

Many didn’t want to say it, but they knew Earth was in danger. However, having people like Klaus and his wives as defenders left them hopeful.

However, now that they hear they will be moved to a new planet, they couldn’t help but wonder if Earth is indeed in safe.

This made them all weary, and as they gaze around them, they could already see the panicked expression on the faces of everyone.

However, a few minutes after Klaus’s announcement, the Knights of House Klaus made a skit titled ’We are Migrating’

In this skit, they outline some reasons why this migration is necessary. They pointed out that when the awakening arrives, the gates will open all over the earth.

These gates will bring forth a tide of the enemy, and if one of these gates were to open in any of the cities, then the lives lost would be staggering.

They even created visuals displaying a gate opening in a city, and while warriors protected them, as more beasts started pouring out, they all died, and the innocent and weak people became prey to these beasts.

Then, when one city fell, the rest started to fall.

However, they didn’t show only the negative side; they also showed what a world with empty cities would be like. They illustrate the situation in which gates open in these cities.

Aside from merely destroying buildings, no harm came to the innocent, and so, when the warriors came, they merely killed these beasts.

They showed other things too, but after the skit came to an end, the hashtag #WeAreMigrating started to trend, as people finally saw the sound reasoning behind Klaus’s decision.

Thankfully, they all love Klaus, so while some still wanted to stay, they ultimately decided to temporarily relocate.

Two hours later, Klaus received words from Choi, who is on Planet Beta Earth, that they have created living spaces that can take 50% of the human population.

“Rania, you should probably leave before the heavens locate you,” Klaus said, but Rania merely smiled and gave him a reassuring reply.

“My ship is fast enough to move many light-years away from Earth within 30 minutes, so until I am certain the innocent citizens are safe, I won’t leave.”

Klaus knew she meant her words, so he didn’t pressure her. If she proved stubborn, he would personally shove her in her spaceship and send her away far enough so she didn’t incur the wrath of the heavens for being close to Earth.

Klaus turned to Jane, “Use your power to start moving them. However, prioritize those who can handle the shift. This means only awakeners should move. The ship will handle those who haven’t awakened.”

Jane nodded and brought everyone to space.

Klaus’s wives were helping with the migration by organizing the people into groups of five million. Since the ship could only beam 5 million aboard at a time, they were making sure everyone was organized.

Thankfully, the ship would only move those who can’t cultivate. Those were about 50 million. And since Jane could literally move over 200 million people at a time, the migration would end within five hours if everyone were well organized.

“Here is the ship.” Rania waved her hand, and a rather large ship, about 500 km wide, appeared. “It is a D-Class transport ship. Though not strong enough to battle other battleships, it is ideal for transporting people.

“My queen personally created the Rune Core that powers the Lightspeed travel, so be assured, it is the best ride for this migration.”

Rania smiled, feeling proud. “It is powered by an AI system, which means, with mere commands, you don’t even have to know how to fly a spaceship; it will work on its own.”

“Thank you, Rania,” Klaus said and moved toward the ship. He placed his hand on it and felt the material used.

“Very durable,” he said, then he waved his hand, manifesting ten thin swords. Then, with a gesture, they started drawing runes in the air.

Ten minutes and thousands of runes later, Klaus gestured, and the runes merged, forming one large rune that Rania instantly recognised.

“Major Exploding Rune… Are you planning on blowing up the ship?”

Klaus turned and looked at her with a smile. “No, Rania, I am planning on loading thousands of Star Crystals and Explosion Cores inside before exploding it after I send it through the crack leading to Planet Nebu.”

“But—but with this much explosive power, not even this world can survive it. Millions will die over there…innocent people”

“I know,” Klaus smiled. “But Planet Nebu is much larger than Earth, and, well, this is war, so I couldn’t care less what happens to them.

“They want to kill us, so killing them is the logical response… isn’t that right, Rania?”

Rania was shaken. She knew that with the Empyrean-level core in the ship, the explosion would be unlike anything she had ever witnessed.

“Don’t worry, Rania. It is a trump card I plan to use as a last resort, so don’t worry about the millions of innocent lives on Planet Nebu.”

“But you will use it, right… when you have no other choice…”

“This is war, Rania. There are casualties in war.”

Everybody except Asmodeus and the other two undead trembled at Klaus’s cold words.

Up until now, everybody had seen Klaus as a good person. If only they knew that when it comes to protecting what he cares about, he wouldn’t mind doing anything to achieve that.

“Master, I have some modifications to add to expand the area of effect of the explosion.” Asmodeus giggled, the air of malice coming off him—something that caused Rania to take a few steps back.
