The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1546: Angel Of Death

From what Klaus managed to learn from his grandma, the Death Angel Race ranked among the top ten armies on the Ancient Battlefield. From what she said, the queens who came after her had all become Celestials, and they were now serving under the Heavens Court.

Whenever a new Death Angel reached the Supreme stage, they were required to join the Death Angel Army and serve both their race and the Heavens Court.

It was one of the main reasons she was penalized by the Heavens Court when she helped Lady Elysia escape years ago.

She was forbidden from becoming a Supreme for 200,000 years. If she disobeyed and dared to attempt becoming a Supreme, she would die.

Now, however, Klaus sought to prevent that from happening.

He planned to turn his mom into a true Angel of Death, later make his grandma the Queen of Death, and then restore her position as the Queen of the Death Angel Race.

With Icon’s new powers, Klaus could empower mere titles into overpowered abilities.

His mom had held the title of the [Angel of Death], so Klaus planned to make her a real one.

”Mom, tell me, why do they call you the Angel of Death?” Klaus first asked, since her response would determine how best to shape her title and weave the ability into it.

Lady Elysia sighed and started recalling how she earned such a title. ”When I joined the Heavens Academy in the Angel Universe, I, alongside four others, was sent to the Ancient Battlefield to temper ourselves against the Foreign Races.

”I was the group leader and also the strongest, thanks to my sword skills. While we were there, we met up with other groups from other academies and decided to hunt together.

”A few months into our hunt, we were ambushed by an army of Foreign Races led by ten Demigods. The ambush was sudden, so we couldn’t fight back and tried to run.

”Two others and I managed to escape while the rest were captured, and some were killed. The other two I escaped with advised us to leave and report back to the academy. However, later that night, I invaded the enemy camp and did what I do best: kill every last one of them.”

”What I didn’t know was that the entire mission was a continuous simulation running inside the Dark Space for the entire universe to watch.

”That battle was one against 25,000 warriors, and I killed every single one of them. Since then, they started calling me the Angel of Death. Later, I did the same thing again, only this time it happened for real against 250,000 warriors and ten True Gods. I was an Immortal Lord then.”

”So you earned it through your deeds and not merely because of your race.” Klaus was impressed after learning something this awesome about his mother.

”The universe recognized my title, but it was still just a title. So yes, I earned it, but it is merely a title, just like how your father earned the Mad Hunter title.” She smiled in the end, clearly happy to finally have a chat with her son about her past.

”I understand, Mom. I will ensure you gain something from your title by the time we are done.”

She nodded and sat in the lotus position to let Klaus work his magic on her.

Hunter had become a Supreme, so she, too, was destined to become one.

As for what kind of monster she would become, everything depended on Klaus and his two minions, Icon and Atomic.

The process began by identifying her flaws and rewriting her core structure. Once that was done, the process of improving her cultivation began.

Klaus remained silent for six and a half hours. When the process ended, and Atomic finally released Lady Elysia’s domain, everyone found themselves swallowed by an incredibly dark domain.

The process was brief, but within that short period, Klaus saw something interesting. While enveloped inside the Domain of Death, he caught a glimpse of a terrifying being.

He only saw silver hair, but it was enough for him to comprehend something profound about the Law of Death and also suspect who that person might be.

He couldn’t draw a conclusion just yet, but if what he saw truly belonged to the person he suspected, then there was far more he needed to learn about his Death Legacy, which he had not yet fully inherited, and his mother.

Her appearance also improved. Lady Elysia was already a beauty to be reckoned with, but after becoming a Supreme, her looks improved severalfold.

But beyond that, she awakened a rather powerful ability tied to her Domain and Title.

As an Angel of Death, she possessed the power to kill and grow stronger from her kills or from deaths happening around her. Basically, as long as she breathed, she would continue to grow infinitely.

That ability alone made her someone to be feared.

However, now, she had also gained the ability to infinitely expand her domain. First, her domain ensured that those trapped within it lost 30% of their power. It was an extremely powerful domain that amplified her attacks by 300 times and granted her greater control over the Law of Death.

Now, whoever she killed would become part of her domain. They would transform into Death Wraiths.

So if she killed a Supreme, they would become Death Wraiths and remain forever loyal to her. The best part was that for every Death Wraith she added to her domain, she permanently inherited 5% of their power.

Klaus was slightly shaken when he discovered this aspect of her new power.

”So let me get this straight. Now, if you kill someone, they become part of your domain as Death Wraiths. And since they had their own power before they died, they get to retain it, but 5% of their power is inherited by you.”

Klaus asked, and his mom nodded while flashing a happy smile. ”Also, they can continue to grow as they kill. So they won’t remain stagnated at the rank they were before I killed them.”

Klaus turned and looked at his father, who had also gained the ability to transform anyone he killed into a sword puppet.

Basically, with just his mom and dad, they could take on an entire army and walk away stronger than when they entered the battle.

”You know, with you, Dad, and Asmodeus joining hands, I now have no reason to hold back against the Heavens Court. I can simply allow you three to wage war on them, and in the end, you turn them into Death Wraiths, Dad turns them into Sword Puppets, and Asmodeus turns them into Undeads.”

Lady Elysia smiled happily, knowing that what Klaus said was indeed the truth.

While killing the Heavens Court could be considered a waste, since the battle coming wasn’t one they could afford to slack off in, turning them into obedient subordinates would make them far more useful and effective.

”Turning the Death Demon Army into Death Wraiths won’t be too bad,” Lady Elysia said, a murderous look flashing across her eyes.

Klaus gave her hand a gentle squeeze. ”Relax, Mother. Once I restore Grandma to her previous strength, we will attack. For now, use the opportunity you have to comprehend the Dao and use that knowledge to improve your domain.”

”Okay, Klaus.”

She moved back to sit beside Hunter, who was already hard at work examining more of his powers. He already had a target in mind: a mercenary team that had joined the attack 20,000 years ago.

He plans to turn all 30,000 plus of them into sword puppets.

”Grim, time for you to become a Celestial.”

”Okay, big brother.”
