The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

It had already been one year since the awakening.

Earth has survived and is thriving

Humans are naturally creatures that can survive anything and learn to adapt to the changes that follow.

One year ago, after the awakening battle, a lot of things happened.

First, the dead were buried.

However, not all the dead chose to be buried.

Earth went into battle with a combined force of 12.3 million warriors.

This number included Klaus’s beast army, Asmodeus’s Undead Legion, Nadia’s Puppet Legion, Asha’s insect army, the combat robots, the Earth Alliance Legion, the Lunar Legion, the Bastari Legion, the Knights of House Klaus, the Great and Legacy Families Legion, the Dark Assassins, and finally, the Vampire Army.

However, only 7 million survived in the end. This means 5.3 million fell in combat, a rather huge number for such a small planet.

However, knowing they went against numbers far greater and more powerful than theirs made this loss a miracle. In natural senses, Earth was supposed to perish at the hands of the heavens.

But thanks to Asmodeus raising the dead, the humans managed to use and reuse their dead to defend the planet.

After the battle, he was meant to release them.

However, something strange happened when Asmodeus went down to the Undead World to upgrade his Necromancy class.

He was given a boon that allows him to not only raise the dead but also give them a life of their own. This change turns the dead into the Undead, which, instead of merely making them mindless drones, gives them a mind of their own and allows them to make their own decisions.

It was a strange discovery that came just in time when Earth was in desperate need of saving.

Of the undead he raised, only 300,000 chose to be buried. The rest wanted to continue living as Undead.

In the end, a race of Undead appeared on Earth with 5 million members, all powerful warriors.

Aside from that, the injured are paid extra attention by the Sylvan healers.

All those who were injured when the palm strikes came recovered.

Tifa, whose life hung by a thread, woke up seven months later, and even Queenie, who lost her arm, received a new arm thanks to the Sylvan healers.

Anna was also healed, and her overloaded core was stabilized thanks to the Mother Tree, who had already made her decision to support the Paragon.

She gave Lucy a second blessing, allowing her to climb from the Domain stage to the Nirvana stage in a span of one year.

Thanks to her, even Kilian had receieved a new body. He lost his physical body during the palm strikes.

But aside from merely waking up, many powerhouses also rose up.

Queenie, Tifa, Anna, Asmodeus, Nyxthar, Lord Trench, Vida Stronghold, and Lunara all reached the Monarch stage.

Aside from them, all Domain stage warriors during the awakening had reached the Death stage, and all Nether stage warriors are now at the Life stage.

Basically, all warriors who participated in the war had either ascended to two realms, or even reached three realms.

It is a sudden leap that came from the numerous kills they made during the awakening.

In fact, if the same awakening were to happen again, and the humans were to possess the strength they have now, the battles would have lasted for less than an hour.

Earth has grown stronger, and it will continue to grow for years to come.

Even Jane had recovered.

When the palm strike came, she tried to save them all by moving them away, but ended up hurting herself instead. The same power that prevented Klaus from teleporting to his wives or talking to them also prevented her from interfering.

The backlash left her brain fractured beyond repair.

However, Vexthra saved her before leaving. Thankfully, a month after the awakening, she recovered. It was also after she recovered that they managed to locate Danny and save him.

When he broke the spear attack that came from the void, he was hurled away from Earth, landing on a planet 16 billion miles from Earth. Nobody knew how he managed to travel that far and fast, yet still alive.

When he was found, he was frozen in ice, barely alive.

But he was saved, and he made a full recovery three months later.

Aside from that, Ohema has taken charge of rebuilding Earth. Thanks to how large the battle was, almost every last piece of building was obliterated.

She anticipated this, so she prepared for it.

The past months after she recovered had been her and her company rebuilding everything from scratch.

The humans have been brought back from Beta Earth, and Ohema started developing that place, too. She had been working so much that in no time, Earth became vibrant again.

Of course, Klaus is still not awake. But nobody is worried, considering he is being attended to by the beast healer Earth has so far – Lucy, the only Nirvana stage warrior on Earth.

So he is more than fine. All that is left for him is to wake up.

Today is exactly one year since the battle, so everyone was paying their respect to the fallen. It was something Earth plan to do every year.

First, it will be about honouring the dead. Then, when evening comes, they will celebrate.

Naturally, the event went well.

It was beautiful and perfect for a recovering world.

The next day, life went on as usual. Everyone is working to make sure the next time Earth is in danger, the resistance will be much stronger.

Klaus’s wives had all been busy. They are working around the clock to make sure when their man wakes up, he will have everything he needs handed to him.

The hardest working of them all is Princess Eshira, who, from the moment she made sure her sisters were well, got into work and hadn’t slept even once.

She had been working nonstop to ensure no surprise guests got to the planet without her notice. With Klaus comatose, she doesn’t want Earth to enter yet another big battle.

So she gathered all the big brains, and for the past year, they’ve been working to better protect Earth.

They manage to come up with some weapons and even modify the C-class weapons they manage to take from the Neburians.

Aside from that, they worked on linking the formation Alina left them to satellites. This was so they could expand coverage and act quickly when a threat was discovered.

On this front, they have made some progress, but not as much if Klaus were around to help them. However, at least thanks to the formation, they can now see and sense up to 5 billion miles away.

This will give them enough time to prepare if a threat is headed toward Earth. Also, with the Grand Arcana Planet Formation spreading to other planets, they can stall them for a little longer.

Killing Life stage warriors might even be possible, but Death stage and higher is not likely. But the Earth is not weak now either, so they will thrive.

Exactly one month after they celebrated Earth’s one year of independence from the hateful heavens, alarms started blaring.

“What is happening?” Queenie asked, changing into her battle wear in an instant.

“There is an unidentified ship heading toward Earth,” Princess Eshira said, pressing a button that immediately displayed a sleek-looking spaceship heading toward Earth at a very fast speed.
