The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Maud nodded and readied her Zither. Her gloved finger moved and plucked a note from her Zither.

A portal opened the next second…

“We will meet again, Grandma. For now, go heal… I will make sure Mom and Dad are aware of the danger.”

Goddess Nivara chewed her lips, feeling very weak and useless, but in the end, she nodded.

“Take care of yourself, Klaus. I know coming to help me took a lot from you. I will be sure to make it up to you when we meet in person.”

Klaus is a soul body, so coming into physical contact with her is impossible. He is not like his soul bodies, who have already stepped onto the next evolutionary path—the Primordial Spirit path.

Once soul bodies (spirits) become Primordial Spirits, they can interact with the physical world.

So for their first meeting, they can’t hug or spend too much time together.

Klaus is also on a timer, and the Goddess needs to leave quickly since Almos is coming.

Breaking the chain alerted him to what had happened. However, Klaus calculated that since he had just left the dead planet, it would take some time before he could return.

So he waited for Almos to leave first before making his appearance.

Now, he had sensed the change in the dead planet; he would be showing up soon…

“It is a shame we can’t spend some more time together, Grandma. But worry not, we will meet again soon.”

Goddess Nivara nodded, and then she walked toward the portal… “Take care of yourself, too. And if possible, tell Ely I miss her dearly. However, say nothing about my situation.”

“I will do well to remember that.”

With a forced smile, Goddess Nivara stepped into the portal and vanished.

“Let’s go, Maud… we wouldn’t want to be here when the Supreme arrives. One day, we will kill him for what he did to Grandma.”

“Okay,” Maud nodded, and holding Klaus’s hands, they entered the portal. Maud is the only person who can hold him, so she did, and they were gone.

Thirty seconds after they left, a portal opened in the Death World, and the moment Almos appeared, a frown appeared on his face.

He didn’t even have to do any scanning, since he could see the entire world and had already seen that the goddess he had imprisoned had escaped.

“WHO DARES?” His fury bubbled; however, even after doing a scan this time, he saw nothing. Not even a fluctuation of energy was left behind to suggest where she had been taken to or who had rescued her.

This made him even more furious, so he opened a portal and jumped in.

With the goddess escaped, he knew she would go to her daughter’s rescue. This meant she was headed to the Beast Universe.

Almos wanted to get there first and make sure the hateful woman wouldn’t mess up his plans.

There could only be one Death Race, and he was determined to make sure only his Death Demon Race lived.

Unbeknownst to him, the goddess had no plans to go there, simply because her grandson told her not to. Instead, she would heal, and one day she would ensure her revenge was swift and suffocating.

[Dark Universe]

Inside the Dark Universe, a sleek spaceship was speeding toward the Human Universe. Inside the ship were seven people: two Demigods and five Immortal Lords.

These seven people were Klaus’s parents and five uncles.

The five Immortal uncles were spending time catching up on some events that had happened in the universe since they had been gone.

The one catching them up was Klaus’s father, Hunter. He was privileged to retain his strength and memory of all that had happened over the past 20,000 years.

As for Klaus’s mom, she was seated, staring at a box. It was the same box Hunter gave her, claiming it was from her mother. Naturally, the box was indeed from her mother, but she wasn’t the one who sent it.

However, she had no idea about that.

To her, the box was from her mother, whom she had missed dearly…

Twenty thousand years ago, when she and Hunter found the Paragon Egg and chose to bond with it and become the Paragon’s parents, she expected her mother to oppose her, as Hunter’s father had.

However, to her shock, when she finally came face to face with her mom, she didn’t scold or even point her weapon at her.

Instead, she helped her escape and had been providing her with assistance despite the many threats from her rivals and the Heavenly Court.

When Hunter said her mom is a stubborn one, he wasn’t exaggerating. She really is a stubborn one…

She loves her mother dearly, and now that she has regained her memories and strength, she wants nothing more than to reunite with her.

In a way, getting to the Beast Universe was now all she ever wanted.

She met Supreme and Celestial, but in her eyes, her mother is the most powerful person, so reaching her soon will give her the chance to create a sanctuary for her son, whom she misses dearly too.

Having a Paragon as a son sure is a headache, but to her, Klaus is the most important person in her life, and so she will do everything in her power to ensure he is safe and sound.

’I will see you again, Mother. Your grandson needs your help.’

After staring at the box for a while, she put it away and pulled out a tablet to watch videos. These videos were made when she wore the POV camera back when Klaus spent some time with her.

She never expected a day like this would come.

The plan was for her to have this video so that, one day, if Klaus were to go on his adventures — which he knew could take thousands of years — she wouldn’t miss him too much.

The video was his way of making her have something intimate that only she and Klaus got to have. This video is like her eyes and ears back when they were traveling for days.

Of course, there are other videos on it, but right now, she wanted to watch the part where Klaus confessed to her that he is a Paragon.

That moment was more important to her. It was the moment when everything changed, and now that she has her memories back, she wants to watch it again.

Since she has nothing else to do, she might as well reminisce about the past.

Suddenly, the space shuddered, prompting everyone to become alert. Inside the Dark Universe, the only way a ship that is traveling through will shudder is if there is an external force acting against it.

So, feeling the disturbance, they all became alert.

Klaus’ uncles drew their weapons, battle intent radiating from their bodies. They are beings of war, so when they see a fight coming, everything else becomes less important…

Suddenly, a dark portal started to open.

“Get behind me,” Hunter said, appearing beside his wife and opening his arm to shield her. Then he waved his other hand, and five swords, each comparable to a Demigod-rank warrior, appeared.

Hunter is a warrior, so the only fitting response was to get ready.

However, when the portal fully opened and a voice spoke, everyone dropped their guards instantly.

“Chill, Pops, you wouldn’t actually want to kill me before the heavens did… would you?”
