The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Klaus’s reveal caught everyone by surprise. Be it the Heavens Executioners or his own people, they were all taken aback by what he said.

”You see that you are all in shock. I figured as much.” Klaus smirked. ”The truth the heavens court had so painstakingly hid from you all was that, during the Primordial Era, I was approached by the founders of the newly formed Heavens Court to join and fight with them when the Doom Universe attacked us.

I, of course, saw no reason to reject them.

I knew they sought to protect this universe, so when our interests aligned, I joined them, and for years, we did a good job. We pushed both the first and second waves back.

I made many friends through that, some of whom would later point their weapons at me and slaughter my loved ones. Talk about loyalty and trust.

The truth was hidden by the Heavens Court simply because they wanted to control this universe like kings and queens.”

Klaus laughed, his tone conveying his hatred and anger.

”What they failed to tell you was that when we managed to push the Doom Fiends back after the second wave, I ventured into the Doom Universe and, using my life as an anchor, I destroyed them from the root. Yes, I was the one who destroyed the Doom Universe, not the Forbidden Race.”

Gasps echoed everywhere.

Those present and those watching from home felt their backs break into a cold sweat. Some even forgot how to breathe.

The entire universe was watching, so there was no way Klaus would lie to everyone. It was his reputation on the line, so there was just no way he would tarnish that.

Since that was the case, it meant what he was saying was indeed the truth. This kind of knowledge wasn’t something ordinary folks were privy to. Yet Klaus said it as if it were the most normal thing to do.

The Heavens Executioners wanted to respond to what he said; however, Klaus didn’t give them the chance.

”Fast forward, after the fall of the Primordial Era against the Isakan Tribe, a battle in which I gave my life to seal those fiends away, by the way, the Heavens Court was shattered into several chunks. As a result, the rogue gods tried to rule with iron hands, and for a moment, they succeeded.

However, my incarnation as the Divine Archer rallied an army. I know most of you know that the Cavalry of Defiance was, even if the Heavens Court had painted them black.

We, mere immortals and demigods, went against the gods, and we won. I fought alongside the Heavens Court yet again, with the likes of the Barbarian Queen, the Dwarven Ancestor, and the Great Titans. We shed blood to free the universe, and we succeeded.

My arrows claimed the lives of many gods, and due to that, you losers now stand before me.”

At this point, the old monsters who knew some parts of the authentic history started sharing their views online for all to read.

But Klaus wasn’t done.

He wanted to make sure the universe understood the kind of person he was and is so that they could judge for themselves.

What better time to reveal that than when it had just been mistakenly admitted that indeed the Heavens Court was responsible for the massacre on Planet BlueCrest 2 million years ago?

”So I came back as the Asura God. Knowing the kind of life I lived, I made sure the Asura Race fought for this universe. Those who still have the untainted history can attest to the fact that the Asura Race were the guardians of this universe.

However, in the end, we were slaughtered down to the last child and pregnant woman. None were spared, and since then, it has been one massacre after another.

Years before I became the Renegade Monk, my mother and best friend, alongside my entire family, were slaughtered.

Since then, my mother has never survived in every incarnation I have lived. So tell me, do you really think I would be in the wrong if I slaughtered every last one of you?”

The 93rd Heaven’s Executioner sneered. ”All talk, no evidence. We all know the Asura Race were killing innocents and using their blood to strengthen themselves. Do you deny those accusations?”

Klaus laughed. A part of him wanted to take off his mask and show everyone his furious expression.

”Do you really think the blood of human weaklings was better than that of the Chaos Beasts, or did the Heavens Court fail to tell you who was responsible for eradicating the entirety of the Chaos Beasts?”

The 93rd Heaven’s Executioner’s expression changed. He had no answer that would justify his accusations.

”You know what? I don’t care whether you believe me or not. All I know is that soon, when the Asura Race returns, the Heavens Court will cease to exist.”

”WHAT?!”

”What do you mean by what you just said?”

”Haha, you really think I never saw it coming? After I became the Asura God, the Heavens Court claimed I was a threat, so I should allow myself to be put under oath. When I didn’t do that, they attacked and killed my people, sacrificing the lives of many brainwashed warriors.

However, unlike them, I love my people, so I made sure they never truly died. Soon, they will return stronger and deadlier than before.

So allow me to use this chance to offer mercy. Those of you who do not want to go against me, move to the left. After today, there will be no turning back, so accept my mercy one last time because it will be the last you will ever receive.”

Klaus stood there watching as some warriors moved to the left, showing they had tapped out. This battle was not theirs to fight.

Unfortunately, none of the Heavens’ warriors moved. Some mercenaries also stayed, along with a few hunters.

The 90th Heavens Executioner laughed. ”You see, this is what loyalty truly is. Even against a Paragon, they have no fear.”

”Then allow me to offer my sincere apologies to the families of these lost souls. I am truly sorry for what is about to happen. As you all can see, I tried, but they chose to stand their ground. Blind loyalty, if you ask me.”

Everyone shifted to the edge of their seats.

Klaus closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them, a terrifying aura of death expanded outward from his body.

He flicked his hand, and a yellow fruit appeared in his palm. Many saw it and gasped; however, he wasted no time and tossed the Origin Fruit into his mouth.

BOOOOM!

His aura exploded, and, like climbing a ladder, it moved to Demigod, then God Ascension, and soon began to climb higher. Many widened their eyes seeing Klaus ascend to the rank of a Universal God.

But he gave them no chance to breathe.

He stomped on the ground and clapped his hands together before shifting them to form hand seals. The seals he formed were so complex that even the best Seal Experts watching couldn’t make heads or tails of what he was planning to do.

Suddenly, Klaus opened his palm, and a purple spell diagram appeared in his palm.

His Peak Universe God aura started to decline as he held the diagram in his palm. Seeing this, the Heavens Executioners smirked.

”Borrowing power that doesn’t even last a second. What a loser.”

Klaus shook his head, and just when his power dropped back to Immortal Lord, he tossed the diagram at the Heavens Army and declared,

”FORBIDDEN ART: PURGATORY BANISHMENT!”

The diagram expanded, and soon a formation opened. Before anyone could make a sound, an absolute presence grabbed hold of them and pulled them away, every soul vanishing into thin air.
