The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Perhaps, the ones who fell the fastest were the king and his two royal guards.

Before the battle even began, they had already fallen.

Obviously, General Thorn didn’t toss to goodness. The wine they drank is a special concoction that Ohema had prepared for them.

General Thorn had reported everything back to them whenever he talked with the king. He went ahead to speak about the king’s mood, mental thoughts, and, well, his understanding of how things would go when he got to the Dark Planet.

All this was General Thorn helping the ladies find the perfect way to take the three strongest of the Nethran race off the board before the battle even began.

So when they found a plan, Ohema cooked the sweetest poison ever, and the rest depended on Nia’s shadows and Nyxthar’s control of the void.

The moment the four people drank the poison, it was game over. Thankfully, General Thorn was not disposed of as one would expect, so when he was teleported away by Jane, he was handed the antidote.

As for the king and his two guards, after the cores exploded and they were pulled into the void, they appeared in a purple mist field where the poison in their bloodstream intensified, putting all three of them on their knees.

They lost their strength and, slowly, their bodies gave up on them. In no time, they lost even the ability to scream.

Ohema’s poison is one she has been working on for years now.

Just like her sisters, she had been looking for ways to fight those realms above her. Naturally, she wanted to be prepared for when the enemy (heavens) comes again.

Obviously, none of them would want to show it, but they have been traumatized by what happened at the climax of the awakening battle.

Watching Klaus and some of their sisters nearly die had left a trauma they aren’t accepting, though it is there.

So, in their own way, they are working around the clock to make sure there isn’t a next time.

After the king and his two royal guards perished, Ohema started her plans.

“Poison Resurrection.” She cast a spell, and at once, the three bodies in her poison domain were cocooned in poison.

The plan is to make the three her first Poison Agents.

Wasting the bodies of three Core Formation warriors isn’t something anyone would consider.

Asmodeus would love to have them. Asha would be pleased, and Nas would be thrilled to have his hands on three bodies belonging to Core Formation experts.

So Ohema took them, and for four hours she diligently worked to convert the king and the royal guards into Poison Agents to be used for many things…

Four hours later, the cocoons cracked and the three Nethrans resurrected.

“We greet the Poison Queen.” They went down on their knees and greeted Ohema the moment they opened their eyes.

This is a clear indication of what has become of them. They are now Poison Agents, beings that would grow by consuming poison.

“Rise, Poison Agents, we have a lot to do.” They rose to their feet and soon, they vanished.

Back in Dream City, a big celebration was going on since the humans had won their first war after the awakening without even a single casualty.

They won, and so the next best thing was to celebrate.

Of course, there is the part about them having to get back to work the next day since they have a lot of stuff to do.

Meanwhile, inside the Tower of Defiance, the core of Earth’s Legion was having a meeting to address the aftermath of the battle.

That is where Ohema went after creating her Poison Agents.

“Looks like you have succeeded,” Queenie said the moment Ohema and the three Core Formation Nethrans appeared in the meeting hall.

“Looks like it.” Ohema smiled.

“Now that we’re here, how about we talk about what to do with the Nethran Race as well as the three planets we have discovered that contain Luminous Crystals,” Queenie said, and everyone nodded…

Obviously, Yuying, being more knowledgeable of the outside world, chose to speak. She had more insight into things like this.

She and the Paragon Guards were, after all, meant to know more about the universe before the Paragon’s rebirth.

“The discovery that there are three mines of Luminous Crystals couldn’t have come at a better time. Right now, we need money. Earth is safe from the Nethrans, but it is not safe from the rest of the Universe.

Soon, many will discover us, and they will try to forcefully claim our world. Of course, we have beaten the Nethrans, so we can only brag and say we will beat others, too.

However, even with the numbers and competent warriors, if an army of a thousand Core Formation warriors or Empyreans arrives now, we will be outclassed within minutes.

We are that weak. So we need money, and this Luminous Crystal is the way forward.”

Everyone nodded to her words, especially Queenie, who had her eyes on the three Core Formation warriors standing behind Ohema.

She is a warrior, so meeting someone stronger than her made her blood boil. This was also why she knew that Yuying’s words were indeed true.

If a group of a thousand Core Formation warriors appeared right now, they would be useless to stop them. This meant they had to work on finding alternatives.

The answer to that, of course, was the Luminous Crystals.

“Luminous Crystals are in high demand in the Universe. They are used to make the cores of most weapons. Of course, it isn’t the best, but it can be used as a core for F-class to S-class weapons.

This makes it a very expensive mineral. Now, we have three planets full of them, so the first thing we should do is start to excavate.

We must secure some of it and sell it to buy weapons. Right now, the only way we can face Empyreans is to have A-class and B-class weapons. We must have a lot of them.

Also, while there is a formation around the planet, we must also deploy Planet Shields. This way, when the enemy comes and we are even outclassed, the shields will hold them back long enough to fire the guns.

We cannot rely solely on our strength to win an unfair battle; we must also prepare. Of course, with enough money, we can also buy treasures that will help us strengthen ourselves.

Asha, Nas, and Asmodeus can get powerful bodies to fuel the strength of their warriors. Ohema can further create more Poison Agents, and all of us can buy what we need to make sure that even in an unfair attack, we can hold our own.

So the next objective now is to start mining the Luminous Crystals.”

Everyone nodded.

Yuying sure knew what she was doing. Of course, she did; she had been around for a very long time, so she knew where the bodies were buried.

What they had to do now was become stronger. They could not always rely on luck to win their battles, so they had to start taking the initiative, and that began by mining the Luminous Crystals.

However, that wasn’t the only reason why they were having this meeting.

Now that it had been discovered that the Nethrans had seven million warriors but brought only five million, there were two million more out there.

Naturally, they must be dealt with before they grow a pair.
