The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1582: Second Star Light

The shock on everyone’s face as they watched the lady walk out of her carriage was just out of this world.

Just now, everyone present had been suppressed by her overwhelming power, and even a mere flick of her hand had sent a Universal God flying several kilometres away.

To think she was merely a demigod, that was just mind-blowing.

However, as she exited her carriage, her short, curly green hair whipping behind her, everyone arrived at the same conclusion: Was she truly a demigod, or had she deliberately suppressed her cultivation to the demigod stage just to enter the Devil’s Maw?

Many Supremes in the past had tried to suppress themselves to the Universal God stage so they could access the Devil’s Maw, but failed.

The laws in the Devil’s Maw were not ones that could be fooled. So even though all came to this conclusion, they knew she was indeed a demigod.

But if a demigod was able to one-shot a Universal God, then there was no telling just what kind of monster she was.

She walked to the front of the two rocs that pulled the carriage and scanned everyone gathered. Her gaze lingered for a moment on all the dangerous people who had come out of hiding after sensing that a competitor had arrived.

After making sure everyone was accounted for, she declared…

“The Flame Dao Crystal will belong to me, so it would be good if none of you dared compete with me. Of course, if you refuse, we can fight now and see if you have the power to dare go against me.”

She sounded arrogant, and everyone heard that.

But they couldn’t muster the words to go against her. Even the Planet Devouring Ant Queen and the Naga King were quiet, having witnessed what happened to the Grim Wolf Alpha.

They could sense when someone stronger than them had arrived. More shocking still, nobody knew where this young lady came from or who she was.

That alone made the humans back down. Someone with this much power clearly had a backing none of them wanted to offend, not for a Flame Dao Crystal.

Most importantly, they knew someone like her wouldn’t travel alone. If she had two Universal God-level Rocs pulling her carriage, what then is stopping her from having universal god guards hidden somewhere from sight?

That alone was enough for them to sigh in their hearts and choose not to challenge her.

The one who mustered the courage to speak against her, however, was the last person anyone expected.

“Aren’t you a bit arrogant, young lady?” Rhazor said, his expression showing a smile, though deep within, he couldn’t believe his eyes at the message he had received when he laid eyes on the young lady.

A very long time ago, he discovered that whatever secrets about him and whatever he came to this universe for were locked within the nine Paragon Stars, and the only way to open them was through the Star Light Keys.

These Keys, however, were scattered across several eras and all walks of life. There were nine of them, and he needed all nine before he could fully unleash the Paragon upon the universe.

One of them was his wife, Hanna, and now, he found himself staring at another. However, unlike the weak and shy Hanna he met back on Earth, this one was terrifying and arrogant.

The young lady turned and looked at Rhazor, scanning him with an expression of disdain. This look made Rhazor frown, but before he could speak, the young lady spoke.

“Who are you to call me arrogant? From where I stand, you are nothing but a bug, so it would be best if you stayed in your lane before I am forced to crush you like the bug you are.”

Rhazor smirked and responded, “It would also be in your best interest not to anger me. Trust me, killing you would be as simple as flicking my hand.”

BOOOOOM!

A terrifying pressure descended from the young lady, crashing down hard on Rhazor. For a moment, his legs buckled. However, his Gravity Law was activated, and his body started to adapt to the pressure.

Within ten seconds, he stood upright, an arrogant smile on his face.

The young lady narrowed her eyes when she saw Rhazor still standing despite her using the pressure of her bloodline power to suppress him.

Seeing the look of surprise appear in her eyes, Rhazor became even more arrogant.

“I’ll tell you this, lady. If you beg me, perhaps I wouldn’t mind sharing the Flame Dao Crystal with you. Of course, you can take a page out of your own playbook and back down while you still have the chance.

“I cannot, in good conscience, bring myself to harm a fragile beauty such as yourself.” Rhazor grinned at the end.

But this only infuriated the young lady, intensifying the pressure bearing down on him. What she didn’t know, however, was that Rhazor was actually improving at a tremendous speed.

Still, despite using sixty percent of her power, she couldn’t suppress Rhazor the same way she had suppressed the Grim Wolf Alpha.

After a few minutes of repeated failures, she withdrew her pressure and looked dangerously furious at Rhazor.

“Do you know who I am, and do you dare offend me?”

Rhazor grinned. “I do not know who you are, and I most certainly don’t care. That said, you also do not know who I am, so it’s better to stay away from the Flame Dao Crystal. If you don’t want to experience my wrath, then stay back and watch.”

Just as Rhazor said that, a howl came from the distance, and a second later, the Grim Wolf Alpha appeared, his expression narrowing at the young lady who had sent him flying away.

Judging by the look in his eyes, he planned on attacking the young lady again. However, seeing that she was locked in a verbal exchange with Rhazor, he held back and began watching.

After hearing Rhazor’s response to her attempt to use her name to pressure him, her tone changed. Rhazor wasn’t like the others she had faced in the past, and so she chose to take things in a different direction.

“Before you make a mistake you cannot afford to make, know this. I may be a mere demigod, but my name is Nyrela, daughter of the Genesis Flame Queen. I am here to get the Flame Dao Crystal for my mother, so you’d better back off before you regret everything.”

[The Genesis Flame Queen is one of the thirteen founders of the Warrior Temple. The one named Nyrela ranks twenty-fourth on the Ancient Demigod Chart, and she is the lastborn child of the Genesis Flame Queen.] Icon quickly gave Rhazor an idea of who he was dealing with.

‘How strong is the Genesis Flame Queen?’

[She ranks ninth on the Ancient Celestial Chart and is one of the most wanted warriors on the Foreign Races’ Most Wanted List. So she is at the same strength level as the Burning Angel, who is ranked eighth. She is a Deadly Celestial stage warrior.]

‘Damn. If that is the case, then she is indeed dangerous.’ Rhazor grinned and smirked.

‘Too bad for her then. I also have some backing and several bodies to fool her. Most importantly, the Genesis Flame Queen owes me a favour, so we will call it even.’

Rhazor looked at Nyrela with a smile.

“Great to finally meet the daughter of a true warrior. But rest assured, unless your mother is here, I will not back down, so you’d better get ready to snatch the Flame Dao Crystal from my cold corpse.”
