The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

It takes millions, perhaps even billions of years to become a god, so they just can’t waste away their divinity now that there is a god on Klaus’s side.

“I believe what Rosalind said is true; we should stop while we still can,” another god said, and many nodded. However, suddenly, somebody entered the temple-like structure they were in, prompting the over a dozen gods to turn pale.

“Now, now, why would I allow you all to go just like that?” the person smiled weakly before activating his domain…

What followed, if witnessed by anyone, would traumatize them for millions of years to come.

[Paragon Guard’s POV]

Unity, Thyra, and Yuying were flying rapidly toward the Milky Way Galaxy at several light-years per hour.

Yuying was still unconscious, and Thyra, despite reuniting with Unity, never stopped panicking.

“Yuying said the master’s world awakening will happen roughly right now,” Thyra said, and then added in a subtle tone, “I wonder how he is handling it right about now.”

Unity sighed, her expression calm, but she was worried too. However, in order to make Thyra feel good, Unity chose to say positive things.

“I am sure the master is having fun playing with the heavens.”

Thyra nodded. “I am sure he is. After all, he expected this moment, and he planned and prepared for it.”

Unity smiled, watching Thyra put on a brave face while, deep within, she knew she was soft like butter. The only saving grace is that after everything is said and done, when it comes to combat, Thyra is a beast.

They were both Monarchs; however, when it came to combat power, Unity knew Thyra would wipe the floor with her.

She was that strong.

Of course, among the Paragon Guards, aside from Yuying, who everyone knew was dangerous, Thyra could be considered the second strongest.

However, despite being created from Klaus’s arrogance, she was a big softy at heart. She was a person, arrogant or not, who had other emotions.

“Have you ever wondered what would have happened if we had found Master before the awakening during his 7th incarnation?” Thyra asked, and Unity sighed.

“I have thought about the same question many times, but came up empty with no valid answer. We know Master lost his five wives and mother back then. We also know that his father and siblings hated him.

So the question is whether he would have become a menace after the awakening. I believe he would have. After all, even if we were around then, we wouldn’t have done much to change anything.

His wives would have sacrificed themselves along with his mother since that was the only way to awaken his bloodline. His destiny was already set, and in a way, it played out just like how the heavens had planned it.

So if you want to ask, then ask something like, ’Would our presence change his mode after the battle?’ Of course, even so, I believe he would have walked the path of war and carnage regardless.”

Unity studied Thyra’s expression for a few minutes before she chuckled.

“Don’t worry. Master will be fine. You said it yourself—Yuying made sure he understood the danger he was in before the awakening even arrived.

Don’t worry too much. In less than a year, when we get to Master, he will be fine and happy to see us again.”

Thyra nodded.

They still had about a year of travel before they would reach their master’s world and reunite with him…

[Earth]

Back on Earth, many battles had ended, but the major ones were still raging on.

Inside the shadows, Nia, her three shadows—Luna, Nuna, and Rita—were down to one Nirvana Stage and two Monarchs to kill.

However, despite making headway in killing the assassins, they themselves were extremely tired, especially Nia, who was powering three shadows at the same time.

The battle was very chaotic, and now, they knew that if things didn’t end in the shadows, they would have to bring the last three assassins out into the open and seek help from their sisters.

However, just when they were contemplating that thought, three ladies arrived in the shadows—two wielding scythes while one wielded a pair of daggers.

“Oh, looks like we have a big one here,” one of them said, laughing, which, given the current situation, wasn’t the best course of action.

However, looking at her, one could tell she wasn’t laughing out of happiness; it was more like she was laughing to empower her abilities…

“Lani, we should really find a fix for this laughter of yours. Whenever I hear it, it makes me want to jump from a tall mountain,” the second lady, clad in white leather armor with hair also white, said before turning to face Nia and her sisters.

“Sorry about that… She has an issue with her personality,” the white-haired assassin lady said with a small smile.

“My name is Vari, the joker is Lani, and the quiet one is Liora…” Vari turned and eyed the Nirvana Stage warrior for a second before turning back to Nia.

“We will take care of him… You and your sisters should handle these two.”

Nia saw no reason to deny such an offer. They were tired, but facing two Monarchs sounded like a better idea than facing a single Nirvana Stage warrior.

Soon, the battle turned even more chaotic; however, with the three ladies joining them, Nia’s side started to dominate.

Klaus was also making headway.

After cutting Drayk’s arm off and blinding one of Vraen’s eyes, he went ahead and severely injured the Ice Demon and destroyed two of the Supreme Humans’ swords.

The only ones still unscattered were the masked figure and the Demi-Lion.

Klaus tried everything he could think of to get close to the Demi-Lion, but no matter what he tried, the guy always seemed to find a counter.

Now, Klaus didn’t know if he had been mistaken or not.

He suspected from the start that the masked figure was the leader, simply because she was issuing the orders. Naturally, Klaus placed more of his focus on her.

However, now, despite managing to land a few attacks on the masked figure, he had yet to land even a single attack on the Demi-Lion.

In a way, Klaus started to have a very bad feeling about all this. If the Demi-Lion was indeed the leader, the one whose cultivation base had been suppressed, then it meant that while he was using his energy to fight the masked figure, the Demi-Lion was learning his moves and biding his time to attack when he least expected it.

’I am just overthinking things,’ Klaus said, stabbing a poison spear through the Ice Demon’s chest.

Soon, he fell back and died, making him Klaus’s second kill… leaving him with five more to go.

An hour later, Klaus finally managed to put an end to Drayk, the dragon who couldn’t heal from his wounds and had succumbed.

The moment Drayk fell, Klaus’s worst fear came true. The lion was indeed the leader, and he had finally made his move.

However, right about then, a voice Klaus had been waiting to hear for hours finally spoke…

’Lord Death, I am back,’ Maud, Klaus’s Death Heart, spoke, bringing a smile to his face.
