The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

On one side, a lineup of five Pseudo-Primordials stood, each oozing an aura that far surpassed even that of the Burning Angel. In fact, all five of them were far stronger than the Burning Angel.

Away from them, twenty-four Celestials stood, also oozing the same overwhelming aura of dread. They looked extremely powerful and very dangerous. Even with smiles on their faces, the threat they commanded was plain to see.

Then came one hundred and twenty Supremes, ranging from the realm of True Supremes to Supreme Lords. They were incredibly powerful, and that was plain as day, judging by the aura of true warriors surrounding them.

Then, finally, the lineup of over five thousand gods and twenty-five thousand demigods. This lineup, while in most cases could be considered an entire legion of a planet or star system, belonged to just one person, and he was none other than Asmodeus.

Orion stood there, stunned.

He had just witnessed Khthon, an existence that far surpassed the Universe’s power scaling, walk away, yet in his absence, a lineup of powerful undead warriors remained.

The fact that Orion had just experienced a two-level breakthrough in his Law Comprehension was inconsequential compared to what he was staring at. This kind of force is enough to impact any battlefield.

Asmodeus was now a True Supreme whose Undead Necromancer class had evolved into the Undead Sovereign. Aside from that, he now commanded a lineup of powerful warriors, with the weakest among them being demigods.

There wasn’t even a single immortal in their midst.

”You are a monster, Asmodeus,” Orion said, a small smile appearing on his face.

”It is all thanks to the masters upgrading me ahead of time,” Asmodeus replied, also smiling.

He was very happy, not because he was now a Supreme, but because he now possessed the power to aid his master in every way possible.

”I suppose it is good timing for your upgrade and second awakening. The next couple of days will finally show us what we will be up against, so great job amassing such a massive army.”

”Whatever the master needs, as long as I can handle it, I won’t hesitate,” Asmodeus said, placing his hand over his chest.

”Good. Then be ready when I call for help. That said, I want you to announce your power to the rest of the Universe, so when my mom goes to the Devil’s Maw, go with her. I want the Universe to know that, with or without the Heavens Court, the Paragon has the army to protect them.”

Asmodeus turned to Orion and asked, ”Master, what are you planning?”

Orion smiled and replied, ”If I tell you, it would take away the fun.”

Asmodeus, whose most feared title was the Vile and Evil Undead Necromancer, looked at Orion critically before smiling and shaking his head. ”Somehow, I pity the Heavens Court for crossing you.”

BOOOOM!

Just before Orion could reply, a powerful explosion rocked his soul sea, causing him to immediately assume the lotus position and appear there.

Asmodeus had witnessed occurrences like this before, so he merely smiled and turned to the side, where Lady Elysia and the others, who had awakened, began arriving at the royal garden to see what had happened.

Meanwhile, inside Klaus’s soul sea, a sea of multicoloured flames—orange, red, white, and black—filled one section. Within this multicoloured sea of flames stood four overwhelmingly powerful elemental spirits.

Hovering above them was a large multicoloured lotus, oozing a power that would threaten even Celestials and, to some extent, even Pseudo-Primordials.

A few weeks ago, it had only two layers.

However, now, as he stared at the Lotus of Destruction, it had three.

Yet, only a few weeks ago, the two layers represented Perfect Harmony and Absolute. Now, while they were still of the same ranks, their power levels had changed completely.

The Perfect Harmony layer now far surpasses the power of Perfect Harmony Flame Law Comprehension. In fact, the Perfect Harmony layer alone was enough to kill gods and harm supremes.

Now, the third layer, Extreme Flame Comprehension, had been integrated, and it was incredibly powerful even at a mere glance.

But what made the Lotus of Destruction even more dangerous now was its sudden evolution from the Lotus of Destruction into the Primordial Lotus of Destruction.

This upgrade had transformed it from an ordinary technique into a Primordial-grade technique, the kind that only Primordials were expected to wield. Now, that power was Klaus’s to command.

”Looks like things have taken a more explosive turn.”

Klaus said, a smile playing on his face. Orion, who stood a few meters away from him, also smiled. Right now, all his other incarnations had appeared inside his soul sea, with the exception of Rhazor, who was still undergoing the Trial of Gods.

They had all come when they heard the explosion that occurred the moment the third layer—the Extreme Layer—formed.

Just before they could get into a round of banter, Fury, Nirvana, Void, and Qilin flew toward them, the Primordial Lotus of Destruction following behind.

”Daddy...”

Void dove straight into Klaus’s arms, while Nirvana leapt into Orion’s.

As for Fury and Qilin, they didn’t act against their nature as men. Perhaps if this had been before they had taken human form, they would have followed in the footsteps of their female siblings.

So they stood to the side, allowing the two ladies to have their shameless, joy-filled time with Klaus and his incarnation.

Soon, they realised they weren’t the same as before, so they pulled back and blushed.

”Sorry, Daddy. We were just too happy to have become Primordial Flame Spirits.”

”We can see that. Good job, and congratulations to you all,” Klaus replied, holding Void’s hand. ”However, considering you four are grown-ups now, how about you refer to us as Big Brothers from now on?”

Klaus knew he wasn’t the only one who felt that way. His incarnations all shared the same sentiment, so they nodded when he made the suggestion, and thankfully, Fury and his siblings didn’t object.

”Then Void and her siblings will refer to Daddy and the other Daddies as Big Brothers from now on. However, we will always see Big Brothers as our Daddies.”

Klaus merely smiled and nodded.

He extended his hand, and the Primordial Lotus of Destruction shrank before flying toward him. Soon, it hovered above his palm, oozing the power of Extreme Flames.

”Good job, guys. With this, we are going to have so much fun.”

Fury, Nirvana, Qilin, and Void smiled and nodded. They were equally happy since they were now far more powerful and had gained an incredible amount of knowledge.

”Big Brother, we would like to share some of the knowledge we have accumulated with our siblings, if you don’t mind,” Void said, looking toward the other forbidden elemental spirits inside Klaus’s soul sea.

”Void is right. We have gained so much understanding of the elements that we can teach them, and since they are all at the Perfect Harmony stage, it would help them break through to the Absolute stage.”

”Knock yourselves out. If all of them can benefit, wouldn’t that be awesome?” Klaus would be delighted if every one of them benefited.

After all, he and his incarnations had already divided the elemental paths among themselves in the hope of pushing them beyond their current limits.

Nirvana and her siblings beamed with joy and quickly flew toward the other elemental spirits, immediately beginning to share everything they had learned.
