The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

After the event that occurred with Tifa, Miriam decided to step out of the competition, automatically making Queenie and Nyxthar the final contestants for the Domain stage of the League of Defiance.

After all, she decided to spend some time with her sister, making memories that, in case something unexpected were to happen, she would cherish for years to come.

Klaus also supported her decision, so after a day’s recess, the final battles began.

There were only 13 days left before the awakening. So Pickle Berry made sure all battles happened the same day.

Of course, she never planned for the competition to end early. However, her mom told her to consider the feelings of her sisters.

Naturally, aside from Klaus and his mother, Pickle Berry’s next favourite person is her own mother.

Lumia didn’t mind being the third.

After all, she is now Klaus’s wife. If anything, Pickle Berry now sees her as her big sister, though she knew in her heart she was her mother.

At her request, Pickle Berry ensured the battles occurred within a day.

The first battle was the Ascension stage battle, which took place between the Grim Reaper and the Huntmaster, lasting for three hours, with the Grim Reaper emerging as the winner.

Their battle was fierce.

Klaus, who witnessed this battle, was more than thrilled to see that there are these talents in his legion who will be helping him fight against the heavens.

Of course, while they didn’t use their trump cards, just from what they showed, Klaus knew they would be able to fight Nether stage warriors without being at a disadvantage.

Klaus knew there were many like them who, due to time, couldn’t join the training. Some, too, willingly chose not to and instead chose to go to the moon to train.

But with what the Grim Reaper and the Huntmaster showed, Klaus is confident he will be marching into battle with capable warriors.

The second battle was the Nether stage battle between Hanna and Danny.

Just like the Ascension stage battle, their own also lasted for 3 hours with Hanna winning.

…well, Danny surrendered out of frustration.

The first two hours of the battle saw him doing everything in his power to get to Hanna’s main body.

However, with Hanna awakening an Innate body constitution ability that allows her to share her body with her divine clone bodies, killing her was next to impossible.

At first, Hanna could only create divine bodies and let them do what she was doing.

Back then, her clones were basic. Their function was only to shoot arrows by mimicking Hanna’s posture.

However, when she reached the Void stage, the divine bodies grew some form of sentient ability that allowed them to be more versatile in combat.

This boosted Hanna’s combat capabilities.

However, when she reached the Chaos stage, she awakened a new ability that allows her to jump between clones.

At first, she thought this ability behaves like the swap ability, where she swaps places with her many bodies.

However, when she reached the Ascension stage, she found out a secret of this unique ability that instantly made her immortal.

The ability allowed Hanna to link her life to the clones. This means she became one with her divine lightning bodies.

So essentially, before she would die, unless all her clone bodies died at the same time as her main body dies. If her main body were to die but a divine body lives, she would simply respawn in that body, making her a literal immortal.

Hanna, at the moment, managed to form a connection to 500 Divine Lightning bodies, meaning that to kill her, one must kill her 501 times simultaneously.

It is practically impossible.

In her battle with Danny, she used just 50 divine bodies, but Danny couldn’t kill her.

Even worse, after reaching the Nether stage, she can keep her bodies 3 miles apart, meaning that if she wants, she can leave one body 30 miles away by sacrificing 10 bodies to create the network.

Danny tried all he could, but in the end, he was forced to surrender.

Klaus only laughed at Danny’s predicament and made a mental note to teach him how to fight someone as annoying as Hanna.

After their battle, it was Queenie and Nyxthar’s turn. Their battle lasted for only an hour, with Queenie winning through skills and bloodline advantage.

Nyxthar is skilled and has more experience than Queenie. That was shown in their battle; however, Queenie has something he doesn’t, and that is an overpowered bloodline with limitless potential.

Of course, the reason Queenie won was due to a formation she started working from the start of the battle.

It is called Blood Drain Formation, which, just as its name suggests, once completed, will render all those within the formation’s range Queenie’s blood banks.

Their blood will be drained, which she can use to either empower the formation, making it several times stronger, or absorb by herself to become stronger.

Nyxthar was caught off guard, showing just what an Asura is made of.

Queenie went for the kill right when Pickle Berry yelled to start the duel. Everything she did within that hour was merely Queenie working toward her kill move.

In the end, Nyxthar learned a valuable lesson, and Queenie got to spend a night with Klaus, who was more than impressed by how brilliantly she fought.

Hanna, who chose to annoy Danny, wouldn’t be receiving a winning bonus. She did all that she did simply because Danny had defeated Jinx and Asha, who wanted revenge for her subordinate so badly that they asked Hanna for help.

Klaus made sure she knew her pettiness had cost her a night of pleasure.

After the last battle, Klaus decided to use the time to make an announcement…

When his face appeared on all screens all over the world, everyone cheered. Klaus is the idol of many and the protector of Earth. So seeing him appear on their screens made them extremely happy.

“Hello, everyone. As you all know, we have just 13 days before the awakening descends on us.” Everyone nodded, already aware of the danger looming over them. However, seeing Klaus speak washed away their worries.

“First of all, I would like to say Earth is in good hands. As you all have seen during the League of Defiance, we have amazing warriors ready to lay down their lives to protect us.

We have brothers and sisters willing to brave the danger for our sake. There are mothers and fathers taking up arms to defend their children.

Because of all these amazing people, I stand here today to tell you this… In 13 days’ time, the heavens will descend on us with horror; however, as long as all of us stand firm, no matter what they throw at us, we will prevail.”

Cheers rang out even among the warriors around watching Klaus speak to the rest of the world.

“Secondly, in three days, transports will come to the smaller cities to transport you all to the big cities, where we will deploy powerful warriors to guard every last one of you should the heavens play a trick on us.

Lastly, as you all know, I will officially be marrying my wives ten days from today. Although not all of you can come, I ask for your blessings.

If all things end well, which I know they will, in a few years to come, little Klaus will start running around, who will one day grow up to become warriors, to further keep the light of this Mother Earth shining.

Until then, have a nice day, and may the stars shine on you all.”

Deep in the cosmos, nine stars lit up, taking the blessings being showered on their master.

On the other side of the cosmos, the heavens are almost bleeding, watching all this love showered on someone they hated to the bone.
