The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

The battle was harrowing for most of Klaus’s friends, wives, and other team members. The Oracle was rather sinister in how she manipulated them. However, 45 minutes ago, the battlefield changed.

The zombies were no longer coming in a coordinated pattern. It was as if they had lost the sharpness of their minds that made them clever and battle-coordinated.

This gave those who were locked in deadly battles with well-coordinated zombies a chance to spread their wings.

Danny didn’t let that chance slip, for he had been frustrated for a long time. And it wasn’t just him; Miguel, Jason, Tyson, the triplets, and others felt a relief wash over them.

Naturally, that all became much more aggressive, disregarding the elephant in the room. They never really asked what happened that caused the deadly zombies to stop coming in a coordinated pattern.

(45 minutes ago – What happened?)

Long before 45 minutes ago, the Zombie Queen arrived 4 miles from the battlefield, but thanks to her enhanced eyesight, she could see everything.

Naturally, she came for four things.

First, she came to see if Earth truly had the means to defend itself should she and her people want to attack. What she saw shocked her.

Seeing people like Hanna, Kathy, Eren, Veylor, Nyxthar, Kilian, Lulu, and more, she was left in a state of shock. The abilities everyone was using were beyond her imagination.

This made her wonder just where these humans came from or what kind of training they’d undergone. But at the end of the day, she knew her side also had powerhouses. She had some strength within herself, too.

Her second objective was to spy on Klaus; however, when she saw how easily Klaus was handling the Savage King, she realised that Klaus’s claim to be the leader of Earth and everything it contained was indeed true.

Of course, she already had her suspicions that Klaus was no simple person, but seeing it made her understand why.

The white-haired human she had sacked from her domain the last time was a monster in his own right. She was, for some reason, both impressed and shocked…

As for her third objective, it was to spy on Miriam. Nobody knew what was going on inside her head while she watched Miriam handle one zombie after another, but she focused her attention on her for a while before turning back to Klaus.

She aimed to learn more about Klaus, but even after an hour, she couldn’t get anything. It was like the brat knew she was there, and he never used an attack more than five times.

But that was also the part where she was shocked. During the several minutes she spent spying on Klaus, she saw him use over 50 different skills.

That just didn’t make any sense, yet for some reason, she wasn’t too shocked when she discovered something like that. It was as if, after watching Klaus for a while, she started to see him differently.

As for her last reason for coming there, it was what happened 45 minutes ago.

She came because her spies had told her that the Savage King had someone who seemed to know what would happen or was about to happen, and how to prevent it. Additionally, she discovered that this person could manipulate battlefields.

Naturally, the Zombie Queen came to kill her by taking advantage of the chaos. However, during the battle, she saw what this mysterious person could do, and so she changed her mind.

She still didn’t know where her conversation with Klaus would lead, whether they would become allies or enemies.

But she knew that having a backup plan was a good idea. Her warriors were strong, but she knew they could do better if the mysterious oracle were on her side.

Forty-five minutes ago, she pinpointed where the oracle was located, and so she moved toward it.

(What happened?)

The overwhelming display of strength from Nyxthar, Lulu, Nia, the Twins, Miriam, Ohema, Hanna, and Kathy was making the Oracle curse them for meeting such monsters.

“Bastards, can’t they just leave… These are my people; if they die, I will surely die at the hands of the Savage King.” She clenched her fist, manipulating events around Danny.

On the battlefield, Danny was also cursing his bad luck.

After a while, the Oracle started looking for a way out when she saw that the Savage King wouldn’t win. His trump card seemed to have been rendered useless, so the moment the Savage King started going all out, she knew the battle was lost.

She had to make a run for it before the humans she had manipulated turned their weapons on her. However, when she was about to make a run for it, the Zombie Queen arrived.

“So you are the one the Savage King relied on to control his animals?” the Zombie Queen asked with a smirk behind her mask.

Of course, the moment the Oracle saw her, she froze. She knew in that moment that no matter how genius she was, there was no way she could get away from the lady standing before her.

“What is your name?” The Zombie Queen asked, but the Oracle remained mute. She didn’t say anything and only stood frozen, eyes showing signs of panic.

“I won’t hurt you, nor do I have plans to hand you over to the humans—at least not now. So if you want to get away from here alive, you better start by telling me your name.”

“I-I-I don’t have a name,” the Oracle stammered, struggling to say the words.

“No name, huh… that can’t do. Why don’t I call you Jane?” The Oracle didn’t say anything, meaning she didn’t care what name she was called. As long as she got to keep her life, she wouldn’t mind.

“I will call you Jane. So, how about this? I will take you from here and decide your fate tomorrow. But rest assured, you won’t be dying anytime soon, for that I can promise you.

However, as for how tomorrow pans out, you will either become a prisoner or something worth respecting.

Can’t make any promises, but fingers crossed.” The moment she finished her sentence, both the Zombie Queen and Jane vanished and appeared 4 miles away.

A second after they left, one of Klaus’s senses wandered to the place. However, upon finding nothing, he focused his attention on something else.
