The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

When Klaus entered the room, he was greeted by the faces of seven people: Princess Eshira, also known as KKKickinIt, Joon, Ryan, Logan, Lucil, Inaki, and Anaki.

“Thank you all for coming on such short notice,” Klaus said, taking his seat.

“I don’t like to beat around the bush, so I will get right into it. I called you seven here today to help me work on some projects for my Mom.

She had recently drawn my attention to something I believe will play a significant role in the upcoming battle. Since she can’t fight actively like some of us, I believe this project, if executed correctly, will enable her to participate in the war as she desires.

I know it is a big ask, but I truly believe you seven will be able to help me get it done. After all, you seven are some of the most brilliant people on Earth.”

They smiled, hearing Klaus’s words. Klaus is the strongest on earth, so being complimented by him felt nice.

Klaus also smiled and then waved his hand, manifesting four things projected using illusion.

“These are just rough sketches my mom came up with; however, I believe they are something we can build upon and bring to reality.”

Klaus pinched one of the projections, making it turn much larger.

It was shaped like an eye.

“My mom called it Project Moon Gaze. According to her, if we can find a way to harness the power of the moon, we can shoot focused beams that, if these are calibrated well, even Domain stage warriors will find it hard to evade or survive a direct impact.

I think we both know the moon is an energy source, so harnessing its power is possible. However, how to get it done is why we are here. But I strongly believe if we manage to pull this off, it will be a great weapon in the upcoming awakening.”

Klaus waved his hand, and the next item appeared. This one was shaped like a cannon with one focused barrel that could fire great shots from a long distance.

The cannon appears to be mounted on a large ship, indicating that it would be used at sea.

“This one is Project Poseidon. Just like Project Lunar Gaze, this one uses Hydro energy for the beam. This, too, I believe, has the potential to change the tide of war.

In fact, this one has so much potential for when it comes to water, Earth is 70% covered in it.”

Klaus swiped yet again, and the next item appeared. This one looked like a phoenix with two focus beams coming from the eyes.

“The third item is Project Icarus. This one harnesses the power of the sun, which makes it the most lethal weapon among the three.”

The last item that appeared was a battle suit. “My mom called it Next Gen Exo Armor. However, I call it Next Gen Exo Living Armor.

It is the most priority project we have to work on, for it is something that, if we manage to accomplish, will not only make a warrior several times stronger, but they will also become much more efficient.”

Klaus looked at the stunned expressions on the faces of the seven nerds he invited and smiled.

He was the same when his mom told him everything he needed to know about the four projects she had come up with on a whim.

He just couldn’t wrap his mind around how his mom came up with something this diabolical. Just Project Icarus alone was enough to tilt the upcoming battle in their favour.

Princess Eshira raised her hand, and Klaus asked her to speak. “I don’t know where all these projects came from, but with Project Icarus, wouldn’t a beam from it destroy Earth?

A beam from the sun contains more than just solar energy. It has the tendency not only to deplete the ozone layer but also to continuously fire from it, heating the Earth’s core and raising its temperature is possible.

If the use continues, the Earth can even explode, killing every living being inside.”

Klaus nodded. “I also thought of that, and that is why we won’t be using it on Earth. The beams will be fired across outer space.”

“If that is the case, then how are we going to hit our targets?” Joon asked.

“There is someone in the army who can move targets across space. With her power, we just have to fire at the target once when they are outside the planet.”

“That will require great calculation, timing, and focus. To be able to lock onto a target, which I believe will be several times stronger, would require next to zero error,” Anaki said, wearing a thoughtful expression.

Her brother nodded and proposed a solution. “We need to build a superintelligent AI that is capable of computing millions of scenarios in the span of milliseconds.”

“I believe we already have an intelligent AI capable of that. With Oracle’s Super Intelligent models we are currently using, I am sure we can pull it off,” Ryan proposed, and everyone nodded. Follow current novels on novèlfire.net

“That might just work.”

Klaus smiled, seeing them think of scenarios he had already thought of. His mind was so powerful that he could outthink most quantum computers.

“At the end of the day, the plan is to embed everything into the armor. Aside from automating it, we would also have to put it into the armor to allow its use of both human intelligence and AI.”

“That is possible. I believe all four projects are possible. However, we only have a couple of weeks to finish everything. That is too short,” Princess Eshira said, and everyone nodded.

“Time is not an issue. I have a way to stall time for 9 years while only nine days will pass in reality. Also, we wouldn’t be building the hardware. I just want to get the design and mechanisms complete, and I will build everything within hours.

This means the next 9 years will be spent building every last design, rune, programming, and patch. Once all that is done, I will handle the rest.”

They nodded.

“Then when are we starting?” Lucil asked, already brainstorming ideas to remodel some of the designs to suit the projects they were about to work on.

“I am ready if you are.” All seven nodded.

“Then let’s start.” Klaus waved his hand, and the Pagoda appeared. It shrank to the size of an adult’s hand. However, right when it appeared, Klaus waved his hand and all of them vanished into the Pagoda.

They appeared on the ground floor that Klaus had cleared out just for the mission.

The first thing he did was set up the time stones, which, right when they entered, activated. They set up shop, with everyone arranging their equipment.

Klaus initially planned to create two more perfect warriors, but with this new mission, he would be using all his resources to accomplish them.

The Paragon Forge would handle everything. All he needed were the schematics.

Now, he and the seven nerds began their work, and in nine years, which would be nine days on the outside, they planned to come up with something even the heavens wouldn’t see coming.

Klaus also wanted to use this time to get more into Arrays and Formation. Since they would be defending their world, he figured, why not prepare the entire world as a battlefield?

With some formations he had in mind, if he managed to accomplish even one, the upcoming battles would be much simpler and easier.
