The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1325: Three Body Problem

Klaus was left stunned, his mind going back to when he used Hanna’s body constitution awakening to steal the lightning source diagram.

Back then, the heavens tried to use it against Hanna for stealing the 10,000 Divine Lightning body constitution. However, it had all been a trap set by Klaus, merely to steal something he had created but that was stolen from him.

Klaus knew its use was to unleash lightning attacks during tribulations. He was also aware that he created it during the Primordial Era for his second incarnation, who wielded lightning back then.

However, he never expected it to come in handy this time, when he had reached the full circle and must either win or forever lose.

”The lightning source diagram was one of the things you would need. It would be able to simulate lightning tribulations that would fool both the heavens and even the celestials.

Your mission is to get within the ranks of the Heavens Court, or, in other words, the Righteous faction, and understand what is happening. This means that all suspicions that you are a paragon should be dispelled.

Since that will be the case, you cannot even if by accident, have those overly destructive tribulations on this body. Of course, you would experience that in the body you will create for it.

However, with this lightning source diagram, you would just be Klaus Hanson. This is, of course, something we both know must be done.”

Klaus couldn’t deny that this planning and scheming were top-notch. He was the one who came up with such a complex plan, but even he didn’t see it coming.

It was like he had only lived the nine lives for this very moment to happen. ”I suppose the fact that I am the most popular man in the universe has made this very simple for me.”

Paragon smiled and nodded. ”However, it has also made you the center of attention and probably the most dangerous life you would ever live. Since you are an untapped potential walking around with no backing, you would become everyone’s target.

Many would try to have you on their side, and some would want you dead since your existence threatens their status quo. So while making waves is good, having the ability to back it up is even better.”

Paragon looked at Klaus, and they both laughed. ”I suppose it is a good thing I have Nine Cores, Nine soul bodies, Nine Lives, and Nine Bloodlines.”

”Indeed. There is also the Hivemind, which would allow you to easily live hundreds of lives if you want. However, living more lives at the same time tends to have downsides, so we must think about how many lives we need now.”

”I have already thought about that, and I believe three lives are enough.”

Paragon raised his brow, hearing Klaus’ resolve. ”Why just three?”

Klaus smiled and responded using a logical tone. ”So far, I only need three lives because I have figured out a way to have the three things I wanted without much stress.

The first being me finally having the means to pass all the tests the Heavens Court had for me. That is what we all wanted, so the Renegade Hunter would become that life... I would become that life. The white-haired brat who chose to be a hunter.

Then, with the life I had created in the underworld criminal organization, I will reclaim my past self as the crime boss of an entire galaxy, only this time, I will go further and ensure my influence reaches a new level.

That would make me the criminal whose flame and void manipulation abilities are top-notch. They would know me as Blood Sword, a criminal with so much potential. They would compare me to the Renegade Hunter and even pair us against each other.

I can even go so far as to battle myself and make it seem like we are evenly matched. Then, when everyone is having several thoughts about the red-haired criminal who uses a bow and a sword and is also a spirit master with ten deadly spears, the third persona will appear.

He will be known by all as the Paragon.” Paragon raised his brow, unsure of what Klaus was thinking. However, he quickly saw his scheme, and even he, who had lived for millions of years, was impressed.

”The universe is already aware the Paragon is back, and they are looking for him. If I want to keep my life as a criminal alive and free from the Heavens Court’s interference, there must be someone to push that target to.

Naturally, that had to be the best of me. And yes, I would become an asshole like always and make sure the Heavens Court becomes aware of my existence.

However, because I can have nine bodies, I merely had to distribute the rest to other galaxies and make sure that whenever they got close, I would always have a way out.

This means I will use all nine lives, but only three will be known. There will be me, who is the Hunter, two soul bodies being the Criminal and the Paragon, and the remaining seven soul bodies being my secret strength.

They would enter secret realms, if any existed, and take whatever they could get their hands on. They would be responsible for comprehending the laws and developing powerful techniques from them.

Basically, the day I would become the Paragon of the Nine Stars, I want the entire universe to understand just how menacing I can be, but also how benevolent I would be.

The Hunter would play the role of the righteous. The Criminal would become the bad guy who is always stirring up trouble, and the Paragon would make sure to draw suspicion away from them.”

By the time Klaus was done, Paragon could only clap for him.

”I am impressed. This is a classic Three-Body Problem full of untapped potential. If we pull it off, the chances of succeeding this time around are very high.”

”Indeed. I have already made plans to live more than one life, so this is merely me taking that step. I want to live a peaceful life with my wives, so these three identities will help make that happen.

The other seven will be in the background, continuing to do what they can to keep the three identities going.”

”Brilliant. I like this plan, and I believe we can pull it off. However, since only the 4th, 7th, and 9th soul bodies have become Primordial souls, you can only create bodies for the three.”

”Don’t worry, I plan on only creating the body for the Criminal persona. He needs to go into battle in the next couple of months. But before that, he must undergo the tribulation meant for me, the Paragon of the Nine Stars.

I, on the other hand, would have to fake a tribulation and make sure I further integrate myself into the life of a hunter and swim in the same waters as the righteous faction.”

Klaus paused and let the moment get to him. After a short while, he added in a more sinister tone, ”When I am done with them, the idea of ever crossing me would be wiped completely off their minds.”
