The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

“Thank you all for coming,” Klaus said, sitting on his throne, looking at the various generals and elites who would be leading the charge during the awakening.

They nodded, and Klaus began the meeting.

“This is our last meeting before the awakening. It will mostly deal with us discussing the final formation before chaos descends upon us.

However, before we talk about that, I would like to point out one important news item I received from a trusted source.” They were all paying attention to him now more than ever.

They only have 24 hours left to face the music, so now is the best time to listen to their leader.

“It appears we will be facing only one gate. However, this gate will be very large, and from what I know, it will send forth thousands every second.

So while we wouldn’t have to worry about gates opening in other parts of the world, we will also be swarmed from just one gate.

But I believe that is better than having to worry and divide our forces on multiple fronts.” Everyone nodded.

The gate opening in more than one place is not something that can be handled easily. It would have divided their force too thin. But now, they have to deal with one gate that will spawn endless forces.

It will be chaotic, but also fun in a way.

“So how would the formation be like this time around?” Old Lu asked.

“The formation will be the same. The Earth Alliance, which comprises the seven Unions. In total, there are about 7.5 million warriors in that legion.

They will handle the first wave, which will mostly involve dealing with the small fries. Of course, the concept of small fries will be hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of warriors.

The reason for this formation is that first, we need to be on the lookout for anything. Second, we want the enemy to reveal its main force early so we can make a better plan.

So we will use our superior legion, which doesn’t even have one Ascendant, but Void Stage to Domain Level. Once we crush them with this might, they will start to reveal their trump cards.”

Klaus smiled, looking at the smiles on everyone’s faces.

’Sorry, everyone, but the heavens are listening, and I cannot reveal the true intention behind this formation,’ Klaus said to himself.

’Master, this is not the real plan, right?’ Of course, the evil Asmodeus picked up on the plan. From the way his brain works, he knew Klaus would never make such a sloppy plan.

Klaus is very meticulous about his plans, so sending 7.5 million all at once to a battlefield must have a deeper meaning.

’I will tell you everything later. After all, you will be opening for us.’

Asmodeus smiled, then he asked a question that caused the smile on Klaus’s face to widen.

’Are we doing Planet Unknown all over again?’

’Indeed. We don’t have dead bodies, but we have four planet cores.’

’Master… I think you are much more evil than I.’

Asmodeus giggled, annoying the hell out of Eryx. He stood up and switched seats with someone just to avoid being near Asmodeus.

Klaus smirked when he saw this.

He knew when it came to strength, Asmodeus pales in comparison to Eryx, but when brainpower is put into consideration, Asmodeus will play Eryx like a fiddle.

In the upcoming battle, Klaus is counting on four people to manipulate the enemy’s mind.

One of them is himself. He has 250 minds working overtime to create chaos.

The second is Asmodeus, known for his out-of-the-box thinking, which caused the Universe to shudder during the Era of War and Carnage. He is a menace.

The third is Jane, whose nature as a Star Manipulator will play a more critical role in messing with the enemy’s formation.

In fact, she is the main trump card Klaus will personally protect behind 175 layers of defense he had worked on months ago.

The last person is Nas, Anna and Lucy’s third brother.

Initially, Klaus didn’t place much hope in him due to his fragility. Of course, he awakened the Chess Master class after taking Klaus’s blood.

However, back then, his abilities were subpar. Of course, he managed to kill Hunter and his cohort. However, he was no warrior.

But that all changed when he reached the Ascension Stage. When he reached that stage after taking the second set of blood, his class was upgraded to Chess Grandmaster.

He awakened the legendary Chess God Refiner ability, allowing him to not only upgrade his chess pieces but also refine ordinary people he had trapped in his chess world.

To do that, he must have materials. Of course, he needed beast bodies for that. However, he and his mom, Cynthia Ross, were messing around, and she suggested they merge Hunter Duncan and his friends and refine them.

Of course, Nas listened to his mom’s words, and they did. They refined Hunter Duncan by sacrificing Kate and the others. They even added a drop of Klaus’s blood.

What he refined was something nobody saw coming.

Back when Asha asked Klaus what he would do if someone stronger than a Domain Stage warrior appeared while he was occupied, he said he had it covered.

He wasn’t messing around.

Nas refined the first Life Stage warrior that not even the heavens had any idea about.

And knowing what he can do now, Klaus will personally see to it that Hunter Duncan will do justice to the many warriors that will miraculously vanish from the battlefield.

Until it comes to it, Nas will never bring out Hunter or the many other chess pieces he will be refining. After all, he is now a Nether Stage warrior; refining Domain Stage chess pieces and even a few Life Stage chess pieces will be much easier.

“Of course, the Earth Legion will not be the only one moving,” Klaus pointed at Asmodeus and Nas.

“They will also start the battle for us. However, depending on how the first ten minutes go, I might deploy more, so we all will have to be on standby, ready to go into battle.”

“Sounds easy enough,” Old Lu said, and everybody else nodded.

Klaus smiled, but in his mind, he was already planning ahead, ’The heavens are dangerous, so this time, I will ensure they regret meeting me.’

This meeting shouldn’t have happened. After all, Klaus could have sent them a message telling them to do as he instructed; however, he made sure they all met just so the heavens would be aware of their meeting.

This way, knowing they are listening, he will feed them false information. Klaus may have been blind months back, but when he formed his 250th mind, he could sense the gaze of the heavens on him.

He knew this gaze would be blocked when the timer hit zero.

When that time comes, he will implement his true plan, and by then, the heavens will know they had been played. But by then, it will already be too late.

Klaus went ahead to verbally blurt out all his plans for the upcoming awakening, making sure not even a single detail was missed.

’How scary,’ Queenie said, her eyes gleaming as she listened to everything Klaus was saying, knowing all was false.

Inside her soul sea, another version of her sat meditating.
