The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 629 The Paragon Forge (2)

Puppeteers like Nadia use bodies, body parts, rare minerals, and other materials to create puppets they can control. Of course, Nadia is a unique case in this regard.

However, she also requires schematics to create these puppets. Without the schematic, she couldnʼt create even a single puppet.

She had already complained to Klaus about this. She needed the design like the way swordsmen need their sword skills. Discover hidden stories at

This is the way of her craft, and the same applies to other professions like Necromancy, where one either summons the undead, raises them from the dead, or, in some cases, creates them.

The core of it all lies in creation and hoping for the best.

You wouldnʼt have full control over what their existence should be like or what they should stand for. The further you progress, the more you can ensure their personalities align somewhat with your own.

Creation, in this sense, is largely random.

Your imagination and the resources at your disposal are subject to chance. Your undead might be an orc, but you donʼt have the power to determine the kind of abilities they should have.

However, what if there was a way to create a being entirely from oneʼs imagination? This means everything, from appearance to abilities, is coming straight from your imagination.

Letʼs take a step back first.

Imagine you have all the materials needed to create a being.

But before the creation process begins, you are given the opportunity to envision how the being would look and behave, the powers they should possess, their aspects, and, if possible, the law of self.

Imagine you will have the ability to create them down to the last detail. Imagine you have the power to ensure all creations are to your likeness.

Then the Paragon Forge is perfect for that.

After receiving the hivemind, Klaus began to wonder just how he would put his big brain to good use.

He indeed needed it for combat, but aside from that, what else? Having 26 brain spaces demanded a rather crazy way to utilize them.

Now, Klaus has discovered the best way to use his hivemind.

The Paragon Forge basically allows him to imagine what type of being he wants to forge, what type of weapon he wants to create, or what kind of artifact he desires to craft.

He will have to think of all the abilities he wants to put into them and even go as far as considering all the uniqueness he wants to imbue in any of his creations.

If he wanted a sword that multiplies every sword arc by a million, he would have to think about it and have the mind to comprehend it. The moment he succeeds in understanding what he was thinking, the forge will create it.

So, say he wanted to create a spirit weapon that takes away a skill from someone whenever it stabs them.

He would have to use his brain to think it through. The forge will provide something called threads, like the threads of fate, but we can call them weaves in this aspect.

These weaves will then try to take the thought and mold it into creation.

All Klaus would have to do is understand these weaves, and if he managed to do that, no matter how abnormal the creation he wanted, the Paragon Forge would create it.

Itʼs crazy.

That is true, considering his Hivemind is now made up of 26 brain spaces.

This means his thinking capacity has transcended the normal stage and has entered a new stage where he can literally comprehend even the most complex weave.

All he needed then was materials. In this aspect, Soul Crystals, monster bodies, minerals, rare metals, and anything of value.

The four rooms are meant to store these items.

Then, aside from that, he also has something called Forge Space, where he can keep all the things he creates in there. If he wants, he can just summon them.

[I know I am all about Paragon this, Paragon that, but isnʼt this a little too powerful? I mean, if this was before you got the hivemind, I wouldnʼt think too much into it, but now, this is just cheating.]

”This is the way for me to survive, Senior. You said it yourself—my next tribulation will be dangerous. So why not level the playing field?

Since anything I create wouldnʼt have the heavens tormenting them, I can create terrifying fighters to help me during my tribulations.

I can already feel it—the next tribulation will be out of this world. So, this is my own way of measuring up to the heavens. Carrying the karma of nine lives is not easy, you know.”

Klaus smiled as he said that.

[I guess you are right. But still, this is just too much. You canʼt only create beings; you can even create skills, techniques, weapons, life-saving artifacts, and almost anything you can imagine.

Now, imagine if you were once a Weaponmancer—wouldnʼt this just make you trump over everyone the moment you start recalling your memories?]

”That is possible, considering I have a thing for blacksmiths,” Klaus laughed, but he knew this wouldnʼt be easy. Still, he had made up his mind to create the perfect warriors.

Klaus wasnʼt about to put all the abilities into one creation. No, he planned on picking one ability and advancing it into a single being.

So, if he wants to create a being that has an affinity for time, he will go as deep as making them entirely about time and, if possible, create some artifacts for it.

He can create a being that is entirely about healing. Everything about it will revolve around healing. So, if that were the case, he could go even further and make it so it has the power to raise the dead to a certain extent.

If he could comprehend the weave, he would then be able to create such an existence.

Itʼs no exaggeration to say he now possesses the power to create perfect beings. He can make them without any flaws. They will be perfect, just as he envisions them.

[Brat, you know the forge also adds its modifications, right? I can tell from the information youʼve given me that this forge will improve the creations.

So, for all creations, if something can be added to make them much more powerful, the forge will handle that.

In a way, the forge tells you not to limit your imagination. Since you can later upgrade and further improve your creations, you can do as they say: leave your options open.

It seems now is the best time for me to say youʼve struck gold.]

”Thank you for the compliment. But now, I have to look for materials. This means I have to start hunting again, and this time, Ascendants and Void Stage experts are my target.”

Klaus smiled.

[Donʼt forget you have a puppeteer who seems to have more otherworldly material hidden inside her puppet shop. You might want to grab a few.]

Klaus smiled, knowing that soon, aside from his plan on wanting to turn his friends into powerhouses, he would have a legion of never-before-seen warriors doing his bidding.

Earth is nearing its awakening, and as a paragon who knows how karma works, he needs to start making preparations.

The heavens wouldnʼt hesitate, as Yuying said, to kill billions if it means killing a single paragon in the process.

ʼTime for me to make good use of my past lives.ʼ

In the end, he could finally see the path and the reason he had to remember his past lives.
