The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 928: Klaus Is Angry

[2km away from Asha’s parents’ grave – The Paragon Harem’s POV]

Asha’s sisters stood 2 km away from the location where she and Klaus were. They were just staring at them, their faces displaying various emotions.

“Asha never spoke about her parents, so I thought she was an orphan like me, someone who never knew her parents. I never expected her story to be this tragic.”

Knowing what happened to her parents after Nia told them, all of them became sad, but the most affected of them all was Nari, who, though she can process emotions now, felt the sadness in her heart was just too much.

Tears streamed down her face as she looked at Asha being hugged by Klaus.

“Asha doesn’t really share her emotions. She likes to hold them in. Of course, I didn’t know her until my parents took her in, but ever since I’ve known her, she has always put on a happy face.

However, at times I hear her cry, especially on her birthdays.”

Nia sighed.

She and Asha are like sisters, long before they met Klaus, but even so, she knew deep within herself that Asha didn’t truly feel like she belonged; nonetheless, she did her best to be a good big sister.

Now, she doesn’t know if she did a good job by not telling Klaus earlier when he proposed visiting his in-laws.

She knew, in a way, that this would happen, but knowing Klaus prioritizes the well-being of them all, he might actually choose not to visit his in-laws just to make sure Asha doesn’t go through the breakdown she was going through now.

But she knew this vacation was important to Klaus, so she wasn’t about to stop that from happening. Now, what she feared has happened, and she doesn’t know if she did the right thing.

Queenie tapped her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry about it, Nia, not telling him was the right decision. Now that he has found out, let him handle it.”

“Yes, Nia, this isn’t your fault. This is life, and sometimes we have to live it on our own terms. You keeping it from Klaus was the right thing; at least now he can handle it to the best of his abilities.” Lucy added

“But what if keeping it from him was a mistake? At least I should have said something.”

“Stop thinking too much, Nia. Not telling Klaus was the right move. Asha can do that on her own, where she will get to say all the amazing things about her parents.

It is her story to tell, not yours, so stop worrying about that.”

Nia nodded, accepting all her sisters said.

However, the air around them suddenly grew cold. The clouds over the cemetery began to form. In that instant, the ladies immediately felt a deep hatred slowly rising from within their hearts.

“What is going on?” Anna asked.

“Klaus is angry.” Lucy was the first to move and appeared beside Klaus and Asha. She had felt this hatred before, back when Klaus nearly killed Kate Duncan.

So she knew Klaus was angry.

And for that, she was spot on.

Klaus saw what happened to Asha’s parents, and while, in a way, he was hoping there was nothing else to it, he witnessed the event.

That day, Asha was supposed to awaken her class like everyone else and soon form contact with ants and other insects, building the life she wanted for her parents.

However, the heavens intervened, planting the seed of destruction for this very day. In a way, Asha’s parents had to die so Klaus would become this angry today.

The heavens sacrificed Asha’s parents to trigger Klaus, and it worked.

The moment Klaus saw what happened, his anger rose, and per the interactions a paragon has ever had with the heavens, whenever he is angry, the heavens find a way to intervene and try to eliminate him.

They knew he and Asha would cross paths, fall in love, and soon become inseparable.

They also knew this day would come when Klaus would discover what had happened to Asha’s parents because they knew a paragon holds all those close to him dear in his heart.

And that was his weakness that had always been exploited and was being exploited.

So they made sure that when he did, he would become so angry that he would start leaking the paragon hatred, one he wasn’t supposed to release yet.

Klaus was angry, and Asha, who was supposed to be the one being consoled, was now holding Klaus’s hand, looking into his red eyes.

The space around him was cold—very cold, in fact—to the point that the very ground he stood on was freezing and spreading outward.

“Klaus, wake up,” Asha said, but the hatred of a paragon toward the heavens is one that can’t be shaken with a mere “wake up” call.

Lucy also appeared and, just like Asha, started shaking Klaus, calling him to wake up. The other ladies joined in, and soon Klaus was surrounded by all his wives and potential ones.

They all could sense it.

The cloud forming the sky wasn’t a simple one. And while they knew Klaus was powerful, they also knew he was not invincible, so they wanted to prevent whatever was about to happen from occurring.

Meanwhile, inside Klaus’s soul sea, the senior was also doing his best to snap Klaus out of the hatred he was in.

[Klaus, snap out of it. This is not the time to get angry at those hateful bastards. They saw this coming and prepared for it, so don’t let them win.]

“I can’t, senior. This hate—I can’t hold it,” Klaus responded, falling further into the hatred that had been accumulated over nine different lives.

The current him didn’t have much hold to keep this hatred at bay. In fact, he was supposed to be devoured by it by now, but thanks to his women, they managed to hold it down with their love.

But the love of a few dozen ladies can’t completely hold the hatred that has piled up over millions of years, going against the heavens.

That is just too much, and now the heavens have found a way to open the seal of love and slowly start to unleash the hatred buried within.

[This isn’t the time to become angry, Klaus. You will have many chances for that. But today, think of all you will lose if you fall into their trap. You might not die, but you will lose dearly, for the heavens always play dirty.

So, don’t be angry; restrain yourself, and when the time comes, unleash your hatred. I am sure that day, the heavens will regret coming after you and your loved ones.]

Of course, it was easier said than done.

Telling Klaus to restrain himself was easy, but actually doing it was just too hard. The hate was like a mountain, and Klaus’s hold on that hatred was like a person aiming to bring down that mountain.

Klaus didn’t have much control now that he had let slip a few strands of hatred.

The only reason he was able to talk to the senior was because of his Hivemind. That was the only thing keeping him sane, and that was more than enough to know the anger he was in.

But to restrain himself, it will require more than Klaus can currently muster.
