The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1362: Mission Details

Just as they entered the dark universe channel, Klaus took out his phone to read the details of the mission he had received from Sir Lux.

It is confidential, so he sat at the back and decided to review it.

[Mission Name]: Operation Sylvaris Dawn

[Mission Rank]: Advanced

[Location]: Sylvaris Planetary System (Unregistered Planetary System)

[Target]: The Infernal Crown — a notorious demon syndicate of 85,000 capable demon warriors. They operate under the Ebon Sovereign, a space demon whose innate talent allows him to influence the space around him.

[Reward]: 10 billion Heaven’s Crystal + 12,000 Hunter Points, other rewards.

[Mission Requirements]: Unique Mission

[Mission Description]:

↠ The Ebon Sovereign is a unique demon bandit whose innate talent allows him to bend space to his will. He can render a space under his control, making him always aware of what is happening around him.

↠ 3 years ago, he and his team of 85,000 demons, including the three Obsidian Warlords and three Infernal Triumvirate under the command of a demon god, attacked the Sylvaris planetary system.

↠ Using an amplifier, the Ebon Sovereign was able to render twelve planets within the Sylvaris system inaccessible to anyone above the True Immortal stage.

”I knew it,” Klaus muttered, causing Rory to turn and look at him. ”Knew what?” she asked.

”Highly confidential documents here, my dear.”

”Tsk, as if I wouldn’t know something so basic.” Rory turned from Klaus, but a small smile could be seen at the corner of her lips.

”Know what?” Klaus asked, his gaze narrowing.

”Confidential information, brat.” And that is how Klaus’s own words were used against him, only that it stung more than Rory felt it.

”Touché.”

”What do you know?” Klaus asked, turning away from what he was reading. Rory looked at him for a few minutes before she spoke.

”All I know is that the Elves had created a planetary system using unregistered planets. They had been using them to build experimental weapons for reasons unknown.

I know there is more to it, but that is all my father told me. If you want to know more, you can ask him when we return.

However, 3 years ago, the demons used a long-distance teleporter to teleport a demon warlord and thousands of demons to one of the planets in the system.

There are many missing details that suggest a much deeper issue is at play behind the scenes. Of course, as to what that was, nobody can tell.

But a colleague of mine from the academy tried to enter one of the planets, only to find out that, aside from True Immortals and below, nobody higher than that can enter, not even a god.

And since it is an unregistered planetary system, the warrior temple and Heaven’s court chose not to send anybody to their aid. The Elves tried many times, but after thousands had died, they stopped.”

Rory paused for a few seconds...

”One thing I don’t understand is, if the demons were able to render the entire planetary system restricted to the point only True Immortals and below can enter, how come they haven’t yet taken the entire planetary system, but only six planets?”

Klaus scanned the mission details but found no answer.

This made him raise his brow. ”Sir Lux said that in three years, the place will become too dangerous for anyone to be advised to enter there. This means whatever is preventing the demons will stop working after three years.”

Rory nodded. ”It seems so. However, there is one thing I don’t understand. If this mission is restricted to True Immortals and below, then sending more True Immortals there would be a waste.

The Ebon Sovereign, from what I know, has already reached the High-Level Immortal Emperor stage with not less than three Immortal Rings.

However, what is more dangerous about him is his mastery of space law. He is very good, even better than me. He is one of those rare demons with innate talents geared toward a specific law.

So if that kind of person is the one involved, what can an Early Immortal do?”

”Ouch, that felt directed. However, I suppose you are right. I need more information on this Ebon Sovereign. He sounds like a danger.”

”He is a danger.”

”I know. But that doesn’t change my standing, though. Aside from the thrill of killing such a person, there is also the issue of discovering what can prevent someone who has rendered an entire planetary system restricted from making a move on six planets, probably loaded with weapon secrets.”

”So you want to use the mission to find out what the Elves were up to,” Rory asked, a bit stunned.

”This is a dangerous universe, Rory. Making sure I have the means to protect myself and those I love is a must. I would not waste such a chance.”

”Good luck, I suppose. Just know that at the end of the day, you must defeat that monster before you can leave. All who enter his restriction cannot leave until he allows you to, or he is dead, or you are dead.”

Klaus turned back to the mission details, and from all he read, Rory seemed to have said everything already.

The mission, in the end, made him understand that aside from merely entering the planetary system, he also had to figure out what had happened that not even the Elves could make sense of.

”This mission is going to be fun for sure,” Klaus smiled, then adjusted his chair to turn it into a recliner.

”So after the mission, where do you plan to go?” Klaus asked Rory.

”I don’t have to go anywhere. I will stay and handle my cultivation. Unlike you, I have to form Immortal Rings like normal people.”

Klaus chuckled. ”I didn’t ask the heavens to bless me with an Immortal Ring. They delivered it to me in the form of a calamity core, and so you can only blame those who had the balls to go against a calamity beast.”

Rory turned away from him.

Klaus didn’t even want to bother searching anywhere on the Uniweb, since even if the mission hall didn’t know, there was a good chance he wouldn’t find anything useful.

Regardless, Icon decided to conduct a thorough search while Klaus focused on reviewing the mission details again.

Meanwhile, back on the planet where Klaus had the main tribulation, the cocoon cracked and soon shattered.

He came out looking incredibly powerful.

Since he had the main tribulation there, he was able to push his cultivation to the Medium level, compared to his main body, which is only a Low-Level Early Immortal.

Shocking enough, that body has formed an Immortal Ring, something he could have inherited from the main body.

But now that he has an Immortal Ring, he can use that body to temporarily take two more Immortal Rings from his wives when he has to go out.

The idea is to make that body a threat. He wants to become the most wanted criminal in the universe. So showing three Immortal Rings as an Early Immortal would, without a doubt, make him a threat.

Then, when the Paragon appears, he would have five Immortal Rings, which he would also take from his wives. In the end, the main body would be the weaker but also the most dangerous, since he would have Space, Void, Gravity, and Time Laws at his disposal.

After he came out of the cocoon, he left for the next planet with Maud. It was time to advance the Heaven-Defying Body, which, surprisingly, all his bodies seemed to have.

This meant that if one body advanced, the others would experience the change as well.

”It is all coming together gradually.”

Two days later, they arrived on Planet Fiapre.
