The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

In a world where everything is dark and the sound of howling souls could be heard, sat a man with no color. His entire being is colorless, almost as if he is allergic to color.

Hovering before him is a large sword with a thick black blade. On the surface of this blade, a liquid substance made from what appears to be souls shimmered, making it look eerie and otherworldly.

From time to time, the heads of ghostly apparitions would try to force their way out of the sword, their howls and painful screams filling the place. However, no matter how hard they tried, their struggle was futile.

Watching these souls struggle to come out only to fail, the man couldn’t help grinning from ear to ear.

“Fear not, once Master allows me to become a god, your pitiful souls will become my food and fuel to dominate even Celestials,” Gorr, the god butcher, said with an evil grin.

Whenever he kills a person or beast, their souls are claimed by the Necrosword, allowing both himself and the sword to grow.

He cannot actively cultivate like normal cultivators since, technically, he is who he is now, thanks to the sword. So the path he walks is the Soul Devourer path.

And thanks to the recent massacre he had committed against the Heavenly Court, he had more than enough god souls to devour once he became a god.

It is not a path even the soul-devouring demons would be able to walk, but thanks to the Necrosword, Gorr is walking it.

“You do know staring at howling souls every day has a way of messing with the brain, right?” Suddenly, Klaus’ voice entered Gorr’s ears, causing him to turn to his left.

When his gaze met Klaus’s, a faint, happy smile appeared on his face.

“Glad to see you again, Master.” This is Gorr’s sea of consciousness, where nobody aside from his master, the Paragon, can enter. He is the owner, and aside from him, the only other person that he allowed access to is Klaus.

So seeing him inside his soul sea wasn’t unexpected.

“Glad to see you are doing well, too, Gorr. This is Maud,” Klaus said. He was also happy to meet one of the many dangerous people he has in his Paragon family.

“Maud, meet Gorr, the god butcher.”

“Nice to meet you, Lord Gorr. I have heard so much about you from Lord Klaus.”

“Oh, you have?” Gorr grinned, his shoulders rising. “I see.”

The only way Maud could hear about him was if Klaus told him. And as someone who seeks Klaus’s approval, hearing that Klaus had spoken about him made him happy and proud.

“Don’t let it get into your head, Gorr. I merely told him who you are and what you can do,” Klaus said with a smirk.

“If you say so, Lord Paragon.”

Klaus chose to ignore him altogether. The bastard would only go on about himself if Klaus engaged him actively in a conversation about him.

“How is your daughter?” Klaus instead changed the topic.

“She is fine, Master. She is currently the Operations Officer of Logistics across the entire Dream Human Galaxy. The Human Celestial Emperor holds her in high esteem, so naturally, she is much closer to the Heavenly Court.”

“I see. Glad to see she is thriving. I will pay her a visit when I appear in the universe.”

“She would be happy to see her godfather again. She misses you terribly.”

Klaus smiles.

While he hates the colorless bastard, her daughter is a whole different ball game. She is one of the best spies they managed to integrate into the Heavens Faction.

For years, she had helped him, and yet again, it seems she will be helping him.

“How about Bast and the others?”

“She called all Beast Generals for a meeting that will be taking place three years from today. She plans to make a move against the Heavenly Court.

You already know her; sitting in one place isn’t her style, so she wants to become a Panther warrior again. Naturally, I would love some bloodshed too.

However, now that you are here, I suppose there is an urgent mission.”

“Something like that.” Klaus sighed, knowing Bast’s character was the exact reason he had kept her dormant for the millions of years he had been away.

She loves to fight, so if he doesn’t set her straight, she will be a calamity to everyone.

Of course, if this were when his parents weren’t coming to seek refuge at her domain, he wouldn’t mind her getting some action.

However, to make sure his parents and uncles don’t fall into some unnecessary, dangerous battles, he knew stopping her was the best thing.

“My parents and five uncles are on their way, heading to the Beast Universe. I want you to intercept them and take them to Bast’s domain.

This means she cannot start a war. Tell her if she tries anything funny, I will spank her so hard her bum will turn red.”

Gorr grinned, and Maud turned her head away, pretending she heard nothing.

“I will be sure to convey your words like they were spoken, my lord.”

“You do that.” Klaus smiles. “But the most important thing you should focus on is ensuring my parents make it to Bast’s domain. They will be reaching the outskirts of the Beast Universe in the next four to six years.”

“I will not fail the mission, my lord. I will ensure your parents make it safely and will continue to protect them until you make it to the Beast Universe.”

“Good. I know you are capable; that was why I came here.”

Of course, Klaus would have sought out others he knew were even more capable than Gorr if he had a way. However, since he can only talk to people with the Origin Mark of Death, Gorr becomes his only option.

Someone like the god of mischief would do a better job than Gorr, but that bastard is fond of deviating from the task when he is not closely monitored.

But then again, Gorr is capable too, so he can only trust and believe he will be able to pull it off.

“Tell Bast to take good care of her guest currently with her, and when my parents get there, she should provide for them to the best of her abilities. I will repay her when we meet.”

“Don’t worry, my lord, I will be sure to personally take care of them in your stead. After all, my lord’s family is the most important family in the universe. I won’t let anything happen to them.”

Klaus smiles, knowing the bastard is just trying to score some brownie points.

However, if it means making sure his parents are protected, he wouldn’t mind making him happy…

“Good to hear, Gorr. Be sure to start preparing for your Ascension. I believe it is time you become a god.”

Gorr played it cool on the surface, but inwardly, he was beaming with happiness.

“I will be taking my leave now. Later, I will come check up on how things are going, so be sure to pay more attention.”

“Okay, my lord.”

Maud opened the portal and soon, they were gone.

“YES,” Gorr punched the air with great enthusiasm.

He finally let his happiness appear on his face…
