The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

When he returned home, the first person he saw was his grandma, surrounded by his wives. When the sickness that was caused by losing her god core came, she would vanish from everyone’s mind.

This mostly goes on for a few hours. Sometimes, many days would pass before she returned.

Initially, none of them noticed it. However, after it happened a few times, they started to notice. Now it seems they all know, so when she returned, they went to her side to comfort her.

Klaus came to this planet mostly to meet his grandma. However, the fact that when he arrived, he forgot about her completely made him wonder just what the heavens are up to this time around.

He already knew the Death Demon King had forcefully extracted her god core after her own children betrayed her.

However, from what Klaus knew, such a sickness should not have been possible, unless, of course, she were also cursed.

The faith her people had in her should have remained for at least a few million years. However, from what he learned, she was betrayed 300,000 years ago.

That is just too short for such a sickness to start to affect her.

”Can I have a drop of your blood essence, Grandma?” Klaus said, holding his grandma’s hand. He hates himself for forgetting about such an important person.

As someone who prided himself on being a nemesis of the heavens, he hated that their scheme affected him, too. He even fancies himself as someone who stands above the heavens.

If he can determine why his grandma was being attacked by them, maybe he can find a fix for it somehow. After all, inside his mind is a whole world of secrets the heavens had collected from the infinite expanse of the void.

He is not helpless, at least.

Goddess Nivara nodded, retrieved a drop of her blood, and handed it to Klaus.

Klaus received it, retrieved a wineglass-like item from his soul sea, and placed it on the ground. He closed his eyes for a few seconds before sending a command to Icon.

’Icon, whatever happens, collect all the reactions, both physical, spiritual, and mental, and store them in as many minds as you need.’

[I will do as you said, Master.]

’Also, if I am losing consciousness, open one of the three minds you had locked a while back.’

When he was first cultivating the Heaven Defying Body, he was in so much pain that he had to lock that pain in three different minds.

Now, in order not to pass out from whatever danger he may face, he needed that pain to keep him awake no matter what.

After issuing the command, he turned his attention back to the glass. It was one of the items he had used several times to determine whether someone had been cursed.

This particular one determines whether someone was cursed and even identifies the type of curse.

He sighed, and then he placed the blood essence into the glass. The moment it touched the base of the glass, Klaus felt a terrifying presence descend on his soul.

Then, his consciousness was pulled from his body, and before he could make sense of what had happened, he appeared inside the void.

There was nothing in sight, only an infinite expanse of darkness on all sides. Klaus turned a few times but saw nothing. He then sighed and was about to speak when a light appeared in the distance and rapidly advanced toward him.

A few seconds later, a colossal head, about 100 km long, arrived before him, freaking the hell out of him. Klaus didn’t panic, but he became wary of the head.

He wondered just how large the person would be if their head were already this large.

”You are finally here, Paragon,” the head spoke, its voice booming.

”Do I know you?” Klaus asked, his gaze narrowing a bit. The moment someone referred to him as a Paragon, he knew nothing good came after that. Even he hates it when his allies use that title to call him.

”Oh, you don’t remember me, huh?” A grin formed on the face of the large head. ”I suppose that is normal, considering you are still too weak to know more about me.”

”I suppose you can say that, so why don’t you tell me who you are and why you had to go through all this trouble just to meet me?”

”Tsk, you sound a bit harsh, Paragon. Why, are you running against time?”

”Yes, and I also have people counting on me, so if you can make this snap, I will be very much happy to finally be on my way.”

”Hmm,” the head sighed and then decided to reveal himself. ”We have never met before simply because you are a spirit being while I am a cosmic being. That said, in your plane of existence, you call me Karma. Pleasure meeting you finally, Paragon.”

Klaus widened his eyes but said nothing. He stood there for five good minutes, his mind wandering through so many things. He had heard before that among the various Heavenly laws of existence, there are a few that are cosmic in nature.

He already knew that Destiny and Fate are cosmic in existence. After all, he had reasons to believe the two had a hand in how he was able to reunite with allies from his past in the many lives he had lived.

However, he never expected Karma to be one of them. In his mind, Karma is a mere puppet of the heavens, and as such, it cannot be one of the cosmic laws.

”So what do you want from me, Mr Puppet?”

”Mr Puppet?” A frown appeared on the face of the large head.

”What else should I call you when all my life you had, in one way or another, fucked me up? You acted like a puppet on a string, allowing the heavens to use you like a puppet.

Honestly, now that I’m looking at your ugly face, I suppose you actually look like a real puppet. Very disgusting.” Klaus hates many people and things.

However, his hatred for the heavens, the Heavens Court, and Karma is unmatched.

In his mind, they were the ones who fucked him up the most. So, despite looking like a bug before Karma, he didn’t soften his words at all.

And just as he expected, Karma’s expression turned ugly. ”Kid, you will do well to respect your elders.”

”Elders, my foot. Do you even hear yourself? During my fourth incarnation, my mother, Haniva, and I had all the heads-up to escape our pursuers; however, I later learned it was your doing.

Because I was destined to be the Paragon again in that life, the stupid karma you kept piling on my name, even when I was long dead, a part of it was channeled to them, cementing their death in that life.

And it wasn’t just that life. I saw it happen several times, more than I could count. So if you think I will laugh with you and perhaps pat you on the back, then you must be the most idiotic cosmic being in existence.

That said, now that I know my grandma’s sickness was because of you, I have no reason to remain here for another second.” Klaus clapped his hands together, causing Karma to widen his eyes.

”Don’t do it—”

”I invoke the Absolute Law - Paragon Resurgence.”
