The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1038: The Overpowered Paragon System

Klaus sat in a chair made from ice and diamond, staring at a small Fairy whose multicoloured wings unfurled and flapped behind her.

She was clad in a princess-like dress, her face adorned with a cute little smile.

Klaus’ soul bodies, with the exception of Efad, Magnus, and Fruity, stood beside Klaus, each staring at the Fairy.

“Strange,” Paragon muttered, “she appears and feels like a human, but she is much more complex. Even with my superior mind, I can’t see through her.”

Although Paragon exaggerated on his superior mind aspect, all of them could sense the same thing.

The Fairy before them was human in appearance and feel, but looking into her eyes, she was much more complex to the point that even with Klaus’s 210 minds after reaching the Chaos stage, they still couldn’t see through her.

“Do you have a name?” Klaus asked, but the Fairy shook her tiny head.

“I don’t have a name that the master can call me, Paragon System or just System for short.”

Paragon shook his head, “Nope. You need a real name. The Paragon name already has an owner, and it is this handsome.” He pointed at himself, causing the rest of his siblings to stare at him in disdain.

Even Klaus couldn’t help joining his soul bodies to look at Paragon that way. However, despite all the looks he received, Paragon merely smirked and turned away from meeting any of their gazes.

“The Paragon name sucks anyway,” Orion, the 5th soul body, said, and Paragon glared at him.

“Take that back.” He pointed his small finger at him, but Orion just scoffed.

Klaus laughed and turned to the Fairy, who was smiling at this strange interaction between Klaus and his soul bodies.

“How about I call you Icon from today onwards?” Klaus suggested, and the Fairy accepted.

“I would love to be called Icon by Master.”

“You can just call me Klaus or big brother Klaus,” Klaus suggested again, but this time, Icon didn’t accept.

“I believe Master is more appropriate. I don’t know why, but I want to call the Master Master from now onwards.”

“Whatever makes you happy, I guess.” Klaus didn’t want to stretch this, so he accepted whatever name she wanted to call him.

“So, Icon, what can you do?” Asura asked. He didn’t talk much, but whenever he spoke, it was something important that couldn’t be ignored.

“My existence is meant for one thing, and that is to ensure the Master is protected and grows to rule the entire universe,” Icon said, causing Klaus and his soul bodies to raise their brows.

“I don’t know much about you, Icon, but I can tell we are going to get along quite well,” Asura said with a smile. “You can continue.”

Icon nodded, “I can help the Master in many aspects. I can assist the Master in comprehending the laws, refining his skills and techniques, evaluating objects, searching for powerful treasures, regulating his bloodlines to maximize their potential, and, to some extent, even aid the Master in combat.

I have some cheat-like functions that will enable the Master to gain an upper hand in certain situations. And since the Master is a Paragon, I also have the means to defy the heavens.

I am not at my peak yet since my growth is attributed to the Master’s, but at my current state, I can help the Master greatly.”

“Can you specify one thing you can do… maybe a demonstration will be great,” Klaus asked, and Icon nodded.

She covered her left palm with the right one. She said nothing, but a few seconds later, a light glowed between the sandwiched palms. When she opened, nine golden pill-like items floated before her.

“What are those?” Velkhan, the Paragon of Shadows, asked.

“After the Master reached the Chaos stage, his Star Monarch Bloodline has become slightly stronger. The reason it became only slightly stronger was that the Master used underhanded means to pass all three forms of the tribulation.”

“I wouldn’t say underhanded per se,” Klaus laughed, but his soul bodies stared at him as if they wanted to say ‘bro, you literally stole everything instead of fighting them.’

However, they kept quiet, knowing a Paragon is the greatest thief in the universe.

Icon smiled, but she also knew Klaus had played dirty, and it came with a cost. “Because the Master didn’t absorb enough tribulation runes, your bloodlines didn’t grow that much.

This means if you give them to your people, the chances of them breaking through their barriers are limited. At most, it will raise their strength by a few levels.

However, I have condensed the nine core essences of your bloodline, which, when consumed by a Nether stage warrior, will allow them to reach the Domain stage and even rise past level 5.”

Icon waved her hand, and nine people appeared.

Nyxthar, Lord Trench, the Five Uncles, Queenie, and Vampire Queen Tifa.

“I calculated that these nine people have the highest potential to cause change to the Master’s legion if they were to become Domain stage warriors.

Of course, when considering all the warriors under the Master’s command, each has potential that, if the Master were to upgrade his Star Monarch Bloodline, would enable them to become powerhouses worthy of causing great chaos on the battlefield.

However, there is a problem…”

“Slow down, Icon… are you telling me all nine golden pills are nine potential Domain stage warriors… is that what you are telling me?” Klaus stood up from his chair and looked rather closely at Icon.

“Yes, Master. I have access to all warriors under your command and those yet to even take your blood. I know their evolution path and what treasures they should consume to unlock those hidden potentials.

However, there is a problem.”

“What kind of problem?” Klaus asked, already making plans in his head.

“Even if the Master upgrades his Star Monarch Bloodline, he cannot upgrade his warriors.”

“Why?” This time, both Klaus and his soul bodies asked with a frown. They knew the Star Monarch Bloodline was something that could turn any army into a terrifying one.

Hearing that he could no longer use it made him frown.

“Before the senior left, he wanted to tell you something. However, because he was a living being, if he had said it, the heavens would have annihilated him or at least his consciousness, preventing me from being born.

So he left the message for me, and since I don’t have a soul or consciousness, the heavens don’t even know I exist.

From his message, he wants you to know that if there is another sudden leap in the cultivation base of just ten thousand warriors, the heavens will retaliate, and the result will be the instant annihilation of your world.

He predicted that the heavens had already broken protocol by pairing your world with one that had already touched the universe.

This already placed you in a tight spot. You might be able to survive, but the rest of the world might not be so lucky…

However, his calculation concluded that upgrading nine people to the Domain stage, and five thousand to the peak of the Nether stage… can be accepted by the heavens.

He also said you should try using the Cube or the Cave. Although they might not sense it yet, the moment you bring them out, they will retaliate.”

Klaus sighed, and his soul bodies mimicked his expression.

“However, there is a loophole that we can exploit. However, it will be dangerous.”

Klaus raised his brow, “I am all ears.”

Icon smiled and waved her hand, manifesting an image…

When Klaus saw this, his eyes widened in surprise.

“Asmodeus.”
