The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Asura, Efad, Orion, Knox, and Kaden arrived, and, like Klaus and Rhazor, they were happy to see that what they had set out to do was becoming a reality.

”This is going to be a day we will all remember,” Knox stated, his eyes brightening as he gazed at the four cocoons housing the four forbidden flame spirits that would soon shake the universe.

”During my era, I speculated that aside from mere flame spirits, there were realms beyond them. However, I never got to witness any of that. Now, I will see it, and if that isn’t enough, we now have Spirits for all our elements.”

All seven of them nodded.

Like the four flame spirits, the other elements Klaus had awakened had all manifested their elemental spirits. However, unlike the four flame elements, they were all still in the Perfect Harmony Rank and only possessed beast forms.

In fact, just as the seven incarnations were digesting the thought, the other elemental spirits began to appear inside the space where the awakening ceremony was taking place.

The first to appear were the seven forbidden ice spirits.

The Abyssal Forbidden Ice appeared in the form of a dark-red colossal leviathan. Its enormous body cast a massive shadow across the space, revealing its impossible, terrifying presence as one of the deadliest forbidden ice elements in the history of the Forbidden Race.

The Immortal Forbidden Ice arrived in the form of a white unicorn. Among Klaus’s ice elements, this was the only one without any killing capabilities. It existed solely for healing.

The Devouring Forbidden Ice manifested as a dark-gold Ice Kraken, while the Soul Eater Forbidden Ice took the form of a Purple Wraith Wolf, standing proudly with a mighty and sinister aura.

The Annihilation Forbidden Ice appeared as a Black Frost Colossus, while the Hypnotic Forbidden Ice manifested as a Green Snowy Peacock.

Lastly, the Chaotic Forbidden Ice stood as a Red Blizzard Tiger.

But they were not the only ones who appeared.

Just as the last ice spirit arrived, a Golden Thunder Roc streaked across the sky, casting an imposing shadow over everyone. It was the Golden Soul Forbidden Lightning, one of the two forbidden lightning elements Klaus had awakened.

The Voidstorm Forbidden Lightning followed shortly after, appearing as a Red and Blue Storm Hydra, one of the rarest beasts in the universe.

A White and Yellow Radiant Lion appeared next, announcing its presence as the Celestial Forbidden Light.

Unfortunately for the Forbidden Light Element, Klaus had only awakened one spirit since it was the only suitable light element he had found during his travels through the Forbidden Universe.

The forbidden darkness elements followed, with the Eclipsing Forbidden Darkness appearing first in the form of a Shadow Panther, while the Abyssal Forbidden Darkness manifested as a Nightmare Steed.

Honestly, Klaus seemed to be slacking off when it came to the rest of his elements. Had it not been for his wife, Lunara, he probably wouldn’t have even formed humanoid bodies for his flame spirits.

However, thanks to her, he had now seen just how powerful his flame elements could become.

If he could do the same for his other elements, then wouldn’t he become a monster with just his elements alone?

Already, his four forbidden flame elements had created the Lotus of Destruction, and he speculated that if their ascension to the Extreme Rank now caused the entire lotus to explode, it would be enough to kill even a Supreme.

Now, with their evolution underway, there was no telling how it would affect the Lotus of Destruction.

So, if he wanted the same for his other elements, then he would have to man up and start using them properly.

After the dark elements, the three forbidden water elements appeared.

Taking the lead was the Tidal Sovereign Forbidden Water, which appeared in the form of a Sea Dragon. Its colossal form surged forward menacingly, causing the other elements to look at it with strange looks.

But a dragon was a dragon, whether elemental or real. It couldn’t care less how they looked at it since it had come to impress its master.

The Abyss Depth Forbidden Water also appeared as a Kraken Turtle. If one day Klaus found himself in a sea region, he would depend on this element for his defense.

The last water element to arrive was the Frozen Tranquil Forbidden Water, which came in the form of a Serene Swan, gliding across the tide as though it were a normal Tuesday.

The wind swept over everyone, and the four forbidden wind elements appeared.

The Cyclone Fury Forbidden Wind stood as a colossal Hurricane Gryphon, while the Dancing Breeze Forbidden Wind appeared as an elegant Sylph Fox.

The Cutting Gale Forbidden Wind flew down as a Blade Hawk, one of the deadliest spirit beasts in existence. Its entire body was as sharp as a blade. In combat, allowing it to close in meant being caught in a storm of deadly wind blades.

Lastly, the Tempest Forbidden Wind appeared as a Sky Serpent.

Suddenly, a colossal quadrupedal beast with skin of jagged stone and veins glowing faintly appeared and roared, announcing its presence.

All the other elements turned to look at the Titanbound Forbidden Earth Element, now standing as a Stone Behemoth.

Just like the Light Element, there was only one Earth Element. However, its presence commanded attention, mainly because of the overwhelming elemental aura surrounding it.

”We should really make sure all of them become Absolute Rank Elements. It appears we are wasting potential here,” Efad said, looking at the elemental spirits who had come to witness the evolution of four of their own.

”We really should do that. If all of them can reach the same stage as the flame elements, then comprehending elemental concepts, Laws, and Dao wouldn’t be something we would have to worry about,” Knox added, and the rest nodded.

”Then how about we share them?” Klaus said. ”Since Rhazor is now with the flame elements, we can each pick an element to focus on. I will take the seven ice elements.”

”Hold on a minute. Won’t revealing that we have humanoid elemental spirits raise the suspicion of the Heaven’s Court?” Kaden asked, but the rest smirked.

”They can kiss my ass for all I care,” Asura smirked. ”With us attaining Tribulation Immunity, we have nothing to worry about. If they want, they can even say all of us are from the same mother... which we are, by the way.”

His hatred for the Heaven’s Court was greater than that of the rest of his incarnations.

”Asura is right. We can’t let Heaven’s Court decide for us. If anything, I should be the only one with a bit of a limitation since I have yet to figure out what they are hiding.

”So I will keep the ice elements as they are for now, but I will work to make them Absolute Ice Elements, if possible. Later, I will find a way to make them Primordials. When I finally reveal my true colors, I can work on creating humanoid bodies for them.”

”Then it is decided. I will take the lightning elements,” Knox stated.

”I will take the wind elements,” Kaden said.

Orion ended up taking the darkness elements, while Efad went for the light element. Asura took the water elements since he claimed they would pair well with his Blood Affinity.

Only the Earth Element remained. Klaus chose to stay with it for now until he created his Paragon Incarnation, who would take over from him.

A few hours after making plans for the other elements, the first cocoon cracked, and Nirvana’s roar filled the air.
