The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

The third round of battle began very early.

The whole tournament started with 128 criminals, but only 32 remained. These 32 were paired, making 16 battles, of which 2 battles each occur at the same time since the arena is huge.

Klaus was paired with Kael Ignivar, which didn’t come as a surprise to him.

Icon had already updated him on what she had captured while spying on Lord Varkos. In the past, Klaus would have suffered to spy on such a person.

However, with his sweet Icon, even spying on a Celestial was possible. Of course, he wasn’t about to do that. Klaus understood that, with how advanced technology had become, even Icon is not invincible yet.

The stronger he became, the stronger Icon also grew. So for now, she would only spy on low-level beings like Lord Varkos, who was screw because he decided to collude with the bad guys.

In that case, he was ready for anything. Unfortunately, their battle would be the last battle for reasons he suspected had to do with what that Immortal Emperor had planned.

So he remained in his room, watching the other battles with a calm expression.

Meanwhile, far away in Stella City, Klaus’s main body did as he was told. He accepted the challenge from one of the warriors, whom he wiped the floor with, making all who watched sigh in their hearts.

They had already placed Klaus among the top ten rising stars in the human universe, so it was perfectly normal to see him easily defeat a True Immortal.

Thankfully, that battle happened during Blood Sword’s second battle, so those following Supreme Elder Juo’s conspiracy finally cleared Klaus’s name.

During his battle with the warrior, Blood Sword was also fighting millions of light-years away.

Even if he were a mere clone, the mere fact that Blood Sword used his clone in the second battle further cemented their conclusion.

First, a clone cannot be more than 10,000 light-years from its main body. However, even if it could, that clone cannot make other clones. It just isn’t possible.

So Klaus is in the clear now, with some who doubted him even coming out to issue an apology. This only further made Supreme Elder Juo look stupid, so he poured more effort into wanting to kill Blood Sword.

But while that was the problem his other body had to handle, he is now free to do as he pleases.

He decided to go for a swim to calm his nerves down. When he got to the pool, he was surprised to see Rory also swimming in her rather sexy swimwear.

”Fancy seeing you here,”

The moment she heard Klaus’s voice, she instinctively crossed her arms against her chest, hiding those melons, still standing firm despite being alive for more than 12,000 years.

One good thing the apocalypse brought was the evolutionary trait that made breasts never fall again. With the ability to evolve, ladies no longer had to worry about losing their glory regardless of how many children they gave birth to.

They can modify their bodies in ways that took plastic surgeons several hours to accomplish, many of which were not possible back in the day.

”Relax, I am not here to eat you... unless you want me to,” Klaus laughed and removed his clothes, leaving only his tight swimwear that caused his paragon rod to bulge.

Rory turned away when she saw this. However, Klaus already had plans to disturb her, so when he jumped into the pool, he swam to her side.

”Stop behaving like a baby, Rory. You are thousands of years old, don’t pretend you have never seen what you just saw.”

Even if she had never seen a dick before, she had brothers, so she was bound to at least see something. As expected, she blinked a few times and turned to face him.

Though it is hard to see, Klaus could see some redness on her cheek.

”This is my private pool.”

Klaus laughed and answered, ”I know, but that didn’t stop me now, did it?”

She glared at him hatefully before swimming back to put some more distance between them. Klaus just chuckled and decided to focus on his swimming while he talked to his wives using the Paragon Mark.

They had been keeping him in the loop on how life on Planet Caelmir was treating them. They had already started their training, and thanks to the preparations Queen Leah put in place, they were already beginning to see improvements.

Anna, being the strongest among them, thanks to Klaus’s Uncle Monk training her back in the Ice World, had already entered seclusion to try and break through to the Real Immortal stage.

As for Klaus’s grandmother, she had finally calmed down and started to enjoy her time on Planet Caelmir. The girls always hang around her when they are not training.

Even better, she had finally accepted that soon she would be meeting her grandson, so she decided to put herself together and look as beautiful as she could when she met Klaus.

They also said that Pickle Berry and Jane came by to say hi before running off again. After Jane reached the Early Immortal stage, she gained the ability to travel long distances using the stars, so she and Pickle Berry had been travelling.

The two had become so close that if one said they had already become an item, there wouldn’t be anything to doubt.

They seem to love the life they have, so they started to travel more. Pickle Berry had also become a beautiful 18-year-old. So, with the two having each other’s backs, they left to explore the universe.

Lastly, Klaus learned that Queen Leah had already begun preparing a private feast for his arrival. The ladies even joked that after meeting her, he should bless her with the star juice since she seemed infatuated with him.

After spending close to an hour talking with them, he returned his focus to Rory, who had been paying attention to him for the entirety of the past hour.

”So what is your answer? Are you willing to break your connection with the heavens?”

Rory, who had been thinking of that for a while now, took a deep breath before she nodded. Her father had already told her to trust Klaus, so she would.

”But I have a condition,” she said, narrowing her gaze at him.

”I am listening.”

”You said when I take your blood, you will gain the power to command me like a slave, right?”

”Slave is such a harsh word, but yes.”

”Never use it on me, even if my life is in danger and that is the only way to save me. I want to live my own life, so don’t ever use that connection.”

Klaus nodded, perfectly understanding why she asked for that. He himself would hate to be commanded against his will. So he wouldn’t use it against her.

”Rest assured, I would not. However, I also have a condition.”

She nodded with her gaze still narrowed at him as if she were suspicious of him.

Klaus didn’t mind that look. ”I am a part vampire, so as payment for helping you, allow me to drink your blood once every week till I reunite with my wives.”

”Wait, you have wives?”

”Yes. About 30 of them.”

”R-Really?” Her voice broke, which, to Klaus, meant only one thing.

”Why? Are you jealous?”

”W-Why would I be j-jealous?” She faked a smile, which made Klaus grin. He moved at once and appeared before her, grabbing her by the waist.
