The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Klaus, Thraxx, and Sera were led to a grand hall.

The moment they settled down, drinks were served.

Of course, everyone gathered there was keeping that calm, elegant demeanour, except Klaus, who took a sip of his wine as if checking whether it was nice.

The next second, he finished his glass and poured himself another glass full. Clearly, that is a sign he likes the wine.

”Good wine.”

His smile brightened the mood, so Overlord Jim started the conversation.

”Once again, welcome to Planet Virel, Immortal Sera and Immortal Thraxx.” He took a deep breath before he started to talk about the offer the Dark Space company had offered them.

”We are honoured to have caught the attention of Dark Space Company. If I am being frank, we aren’t exactly the powerful kind. I have visited over a dozen planets, and comparing what I saw to my own planet, I know just a single immortal can erase us from the face of the universe.

We have no minerals, no hidden legacy...nothing.

So pardon my words, but why would a powerful conglomerate like the Dark Space Company show an interest in making a vassal planet?”

Sera smiled cutely.

She stole a glance at Klaus before answering.

”It is true your race isn’t the best in the vast universe. However, while that may seem like an issue now, fixing it wouldn’t be too hard.

Of course, that will depend on how today’s meeting goes; however, you can rest assured that aside from your good looks, your strength can also be improved.”

The five Virelians turned to look at each other while Klaus focused on his wine, watching and paying attention to what was happening.

”Of course, as I said, improving your bloodline would only be possible once you become a vassal planet under the Dark Space Company.

However, as to why we are here today and why the sudden interest in this planet, it was because the founders of the Dark Space Company love how secluded and peaceful this planet is, and so they want to build a vacation home here.”

COUGH COUGH COUGH

Klaus choked on his wine, hearing the reason his Star Guards cooked. He most certainly wasn’t expecting that answer from Sera as the main reason why they came to Planet Virel.

When Klaus contacted them and told them to come protect this peaceful planet, he expected them to use all the many excuses in their books to win the people over...

...however, using a vacation home as a reason? that he didn’t see coming. However, in a strange way, it worked for the Virelians.

Klaus understood that if Sera had said they had discovered a rare mineral here and wanted to mine it, perhaps they would have hesitated.

The Virelians are a peaceful race. So bringing miners and more attention to themselves isn’t something they would like.

It was even one of the reasons they dragged their feet when the Bimixians came with the offer. They like to keep to themselves simply because they are weak.

So this offer is very nice compared to maybe discovering a mineral deposit somewhere on the planet. Of course, that would have fetched them money too.

However, a vacation home sounds like peace to them.

”Of course, to make sure the planet is protected, we will set up an SS-class shield around the planet and fix powerful long-range scanners and powerful SS-class cannons that can take out ships from 5 light-years away.

Aside from that, we will deploy a team of immortals to protect the planet from space. This is so they don’t interfere with people’s normal lives.

Nobody wants a bunch of immortals running around.” Sera finished with a beautiful chuckle.

Klaus, however, gave an order to Icon, ’Icon dear, tell those losers to arrange SSS-class shields to be sent to my planet. I mean, why didn’t I think of that when I met them?’

Klaus just realised that with his meeting the Star Guards now, Earth had nothing to worry about. In fact, people can even start interacting with the rest of the universe.

However, the Heavenly Court is looking for his planet, so he also knew he had to be careful.

’Tell them to work something out. I will contact them when I have time.’

[Okay, Master]

Klaus turned his attention to the Virelians, who were extremely happy to hear about all the security measures the Dark Space Company had in store for them.

He smiled and said to the five of them:

”Looks like you have struck it huge, Overlord Jim. Just make sure you don’t open fire on me when I am coming here in the future for some holiday with a few fairies.”

Everyone laughed.

Naturally, with the offer on the table, the five Virelians accepted it before even asking what they had to do in return.

”Nothing fancy, just keep being yourself and live a good life.”

In no time, the meeting came to an end, with the Virelians securing protection from the Dark Space Company and thereby becoming its vassal planet.

”The first batch of security will arrive in three hours; before then, we will stay here to make sure nothing bad happens.

The Dark Space Company protects all those they care about.”

Overlord Jim led his people out of the hall to announce to the rest of their people that the Whispering Beast is dead and that they are now being protected by the Dark Space Company, so they can all live in peace.

Once they were gone, Sera turned to Thraxx and gave him an order, ”Fly around the planet and see if you can find anything unusual. I detected something unusual when we entered the planet’s atmosphere.”

Thraxx nodded and left.

After he left, Sera turned to Klaus. She stood up and walked toward him. Then, when she was close to him, she went down on her knees and bowed... ”Greetings, Lord Paragon.”

”I knew it. Those losers didn’t believe I would be safe, so they sent you to make sure, huh.”

Sera remained kneeling, her head bowed. Clearly, she had been hoping to do that from the moment they arrived, but she couldn’t. Now that they were alone, she did it.

”You can stand, Sera. I hate it when people bow to me.”

Sera stood up and straightened her dress. She then locked gaze with Klaus, and for a moment, she held the gaze firm. However, she broke away a few minutes later.

”Standing is a hassle, Sera. You can sit down.”

She nodded and sat down.

In the vast universe out there, the majority of the billions of races hate the Paragon. Of course, these people are all followers of the Heavenly Court. They are programmed to hate the Paragon.

However, there are those who believe in him, and while they are few, they always show their loyalty through their deeds.

The Heavenly Barbarian Race was one of the races that supported the Second Paragon back during the Divine Era. So Klaus wasn’t too surprised to see someone he hadn’t met before bend the knee for him.

It appeared he had more followers than he thought.

”So what did those losers send you here for?”
