The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

During the dinner, Klaus learned more about his family and other siblings who came after he left.

Judging by all he heard, King Alric, in his bid to create a huge family, actually created a powerhouse, one that could be considered to be among some of the strongest families in the universe.

Many know he was the father of a Paragon. While at first it posed a problem for him, not thanks to the Heavens Court. After powerhouses started appearing in his family, not even the Heavens Court dared point their weapons at him.

So far, aside from him, there are 15 other Celestials - 12 of which are his children and three wives. In a couple more years, there is a chance ten more will be joining, considering ten more of his children had ventured into the forbidden universe to become Celestials.

As for the number of Supremes and Gods, they numbered in the hundreds, perhaps even thousands. Such a family isn’t one that can be messed with.

Klaus was happy.

While he wasn’t about to put them in danger by reconnecting with them, learning that one of his family members had survived the aftermath of his death and that they even thrived, achieving all this, made him happy.

He had the Zorvians during the Primordial Era, and now, he has the Alrics. Who is to tell there aren’t others out there waiting to be discovered?

After the dinner, they began heading back. ”When will you be heading back to your planet?” Klaus asked as they began approaching the royal estate.

The royal family of Caelmir has their own estate. Klaus now lives in one of the houses in this beautiful estate.

”I am not in a rush to leave just yet, so I will be around.”

Klaus nodded and continued to walk.

Since he returned to meet the royal family, he would be spending more time with them. It was one reason he spent a whole week with his wives.

”That said, you wouldn’t happen to have a few refined time crystals lying around?” Klaus asked with a smile, knowing it was a big ask.

King Alric turned and looked at him before asking,

”How in the galaxy do you need time crystals for?” It is something only Gods and above chase after. Someone like Klaus had no business asking for one.

”You know what they say, everything has its use, and I happen to have a use for them.”

King Alric chuckled and shook his head a few times before he extended his hand toward Klaus. On his palm, five time crystals appeared, gleaming like gemstones.

”You are the best, old man. I promise to repay you when I am strong enough.”

”Shameless. What if you never reached my stage?”

”Then it would be your loss,” Klaus laughed, and so did King Alric.

Standing somewhere in the estate, Queen Leah and her mother, Supreme Elder Narcisa, looked at the father and son spending time together, and they both smiled.

”It is good to see they have overcome their differences and actually become father and son. From what I have read, the first Queen said that Lord Magnus was a very angry person back then.

She even claimed the only reason why the other royal family still stood was that he made a promise to his mother back then that he would protect the planet and everyone living in it,” Queen Leah said, a bit stunned that what she knew and what was happening were completely different.

From what they all know, Magnus hated his family.

Considering how everyone treated him, it was only logical that he hated them. But that doesn’t seem to be the case, judging from how Klaus and King Alric were spending time together.

”There is a lot we don’t know, Leah. However, now that he is here, we can learn more. Years to come, a new generation would come, and we are obligated to tell them the correct story.”

”Okay, Mother,” Queen Leah nodded. ”I will invite him over tomorrow for morning tea. We can talk then.”

Lady Narcisa didn’t object. She knew her daughter was overly obsessed with the Paragon, so now that he is before her, there is no way she would fail to satiate all her curiosity.

They continued to watch as Klaus and King Alric parted ways.

Before parting ways, Klaus, shameless as ever, asked for another favour. ”You wouldn’t happen to have Heart of Tempest Vine or Heaven Forging Liquid hiding somewhere in your space ring?”

”Tsk.” King Alric chuckled, a smirk forming at the corner of his lips. ”You can ask the Queen. I don’t have any.”

After saying that, he waved at the brat before teleporting away. He had had a good day, and so he left in a good mood.

”What an uptight old man,” Klaus muttered.

He had received five time crystals, that is, five years’ worth of accelerated time. He only needs a year to satisfy all his wives. The other four years will come in handy one day.

As for the Heart of Tempest Vine or Heaven Forging Liquid, the other two treasures needed to complete the second refining of his Heaven Defying Body, he would indeed ask the Queen.

There is no reason being shameless would hurt anyone.

Just when Klaus was about to move away, he saw someone running toward him. Pausing for a moment, he looked, only to see Rania leaving dust behind her as she sped toward him.

While she was a bit too old to be acting that way, Klaus didn’t mind, considering the sight he was looking at was just too beautiful to bother with anything else.

”Klaus, I have been searching for you,” Rania said, jumping into his arms.

While their relationship hadn’t moved past friends, Rania is the careful type, so hugging Klaus came naturally to her.

Klaus hugged her for a few minutes before pulling her back and putting his arm around her waist and starting to lead her toward his mansion.

”I’ve been busy, Rania dear.”

She smiled. ”I wanted to come to the dinner, but my mother said only adults are invited. I tried to explain to her I am even older than you, but she didn’t approve.”

Klaus laughed. ”Your mother is right, though.”

Rania pouted. ”Are you saying you are older than me? You are not even 25 years old yet.”

”That is because in this life, I am only 23. If I were to consider my other lives, I am sure being a few million years old is possible.”

”That is just cheating, and you know it,” Klaus laughed, pulling her head close to his shoulder.

”Fine. Because you weren’t invited to the first dinner, how about you cook and invite me to another one? It can be between just you and me.”

”Promise.”

”I promise.”

She beamed with joy. Standing far apart, her mother and grandmother turned to look at each other, clearly not expecting Rania to be this free with Klaus.

After King Alric left, they started paying attention to Klaus’s conversation, and judging by how free he sounded with their brat, it was clear Rania hadn’t told them everything after she returned home with Klaus’s wives.

To their shock, when Klaus asked why she had come running, her answer left them reeling.

”I was told you are a vampire, so I want you to drink my blood.”
