The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 422 A Walking Tourist Attraction

Klaus quickly and easily found his way out of the royal palace of the Moon Race as if heʼd been there a million times. With his senses now extending up to 80 kilometers, there was no need for him to ask for directions.

As soon as he stepped outside, he began seeing people—Moon Race citizens. They were strikingly beautiful, with a few handsome faces among them. Naturally, Klaus immediately drew attention.

He noticed some of them discreetly pulling out their phones and devices to snap photos of him.

ʼSo itʼs the pretty boy situation all over again. If only I had the 7-Star Forbidden Diagram, I could have perfectly disguised myself as one of them. None of this would be happening,ʼ he thought with an inward sigh. With no changing it, he started moving forward.

Under normal circumstances, he should have waited for Ohema to wake up and escort him. But Klaus didnʼt want to disturb her, so he decided to explore the moon on his own. Not that he was afraid of anyone here, anyway.

”Is that him—the intruder?” a young woman asked her friends from a spot a few meters away.

”Shh! Donʼt let the Grand Elders hear you say that!” another whispered hastily. ”My mom told me that if anyone calls him an intruder and they find out, youʼll be in big trouble.”

”But he is an intruder...” the same girl muttered under her breath, her expression darkening with a frown.

”Well, true,” her friend replied, ”but heʼs also the Princessʼs husband, so watch what you say unless you want to get in trouble.”

”Do you think Lycos will make a move on him? I mean, he practically devoted his whole life to the Princess, only to have his heart broken by some random human. If I were him, Iʼd be pissed,” another girl chimed in.

”Oh, heʼs pissed, alright. But heʼs not the only one. I heard Tarn and Dren feel the same. Even Big Sister Vela is angry. This human better watch his back.”

Klaus, strolling along and admiring the scenery, smirked. He could hear every word the women were saying, though it didnʼt bother him. His focus was on exploring Lunarville and sampling some of the Moon Raceʼs dishes.

”Now that I think about it, what currency do they use here?” he mused with a sigh, realizing he might not be able to buy anything without their money.

As he wandered, he passed by massive buildings, towering corporate skyscrapers, and various shops selling all sorts of goods.

He didnʼt need to enter; his senses gave him a detailed look at everything around him. No one noticed, of course—his abilities were virtually undetectable.

”To think humans have no clue thereʼs an entire race of living beings on the Moon. How absurd is that? And we claim weʼre on the brink of a golden age of space exploration. Yet we canʼt even detect life on the closest celestial body to us. What a joke.”

He sighed again. ”Weʼre truly screwed at this point. Queenie better sort this out; else, we wonʼt stand a chance next time.”

”Good thing I managed to get into the pants of the Princess of this race; otherwise, who knows what would have happened to us,” Klaus muttered with a sigh, continuing to stroll through Lunarville.

The more he saw, the funnier it got.

”For fuckʼs sake, companies are polluting the air here too? How the hell did our satellites miss that?” Klaus chuckled, his amusement evident as he smiled to himself.

His easy grin caught the attention of passersby. Some people blushed at the sight of the handsome human walking around with such a carefree expression.

”Is it just me, or is this human, kind of cute?” whispered a worker inside a tall company building. Several women were gathered at the windows, watching Klaus as he passed below.

With only about 500,000 people living on the Moon, word had already spread like wildfire. Klausʼs movements were being tracked, with live updates on his location and recordings of every place heʼd passed through.

”He is cute. I can see why the Princess chose him. Honestly, I wouldʼve done the same,” one of the women said, her tone laced with envy.

”Me too! I wouldnʼt mind finding myself a cute human to play with,” another added, giggling.

”Me too. They should allow us to go down there and pick a few humans as playthings.”

The Moon Raceʼs interconnected society made it impossible for Klaus to go unnoticed. As he sensed more and more eyes following him, the unease began to creep in.

ʼGreat,ʼ he thought. ʼIʼm basically a walking tourist attraction now.ʼ

In the palace garden, Ohema, who had been fast asleep when Klaus left moments earlier, was now awake. She sat with her mother, Queen Lunara, and her sister, gazing thoughtfully into the distance.

Of course, she had been faking sleep. Ohema had woken up long before Klaus exited his Soul Sea but, like him, she chose not to disturb his peace.

”Youʼre not going to accompany him?” Queen Lunara asked, her gaze shifting to her daughter.

”No... He wanted to go alone; thatʼs why he didnʼt wake me up. Iʼll let him have this moment,” Ohema replied calmly, sipping from her drink.

”Are you not worried about what people might do to him?” her sister asked.

”Not at all,” Ohema said confidently, a proud smile on her face. ”Heʼs more than capable, so thereʼs nothing for me to worry about.”

Queen Lunara shook her head at her daughterʼs prideful tone.

”Tsk. That idiot is heading straight for trouble,” Ohema muttered suddenly, her expression darkening as she noticed a young man and a group of others moving in Klausʼs direction.

The Moon wasnʼt that large, and someone with Ohemaʼs cultivation level could monitor nearly everything happening if she chose to.

”Since you said he can handle himself, let him handle it. No need to look so angry,” Queen Lunara said with a smile, noting how Ohemaʼs fists had clenched in irritation.

”Fine,” Ohema relented, though her tone was sharp. ”But if he gets hurt, Iʼll kill that idiot myself.”

Her temper was as quick as ever.

Queenie just smiled, watching her sisterʼs behavior. Although she didnʼt remember her childhood very well, now that she had recovered some, she could tell she was always that way—quick-tempered and trouble-causing.

Back then, she could only know her for 24 hours before her brain would reset. A nasty curse, but she was healed now.

Somewhere in Lunarville, Klaus moved across a white field, more like a park, with benches and other things that could only be found in places meant for relaxation.

He was headed toward the Green Life restaurant, which he could see in the distance. Of course, there were people around, since it was a park, and they were all staring at him.

Suddenly, five people appeared, and the moment Klaus saw them, he knew he was about to make his first friends on the moon.

”You must be the intruder...” One of them, a handsome fellow, asked. Klaus smiled slightly.

”Whoʼs asking?”
