The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 977: A Mother’s Undying Love

After leaving Mars, Lulu and her sisters returned to Dream City, but they quickly left again. They went back to the Atlantic Ocean to meet with the Veil Lady they saw on Mars.

The moment they arrived and saw the lady, all five of them embraced her in a big, heartfelt hug.

They indeed needed that hug because, now that their memories of their past life had been restored, it felt like generations had passed since they had seen each other.

The lady also wore the same happy expression as they hugged for five good minutes.

“Mother, how have you been?” Lulu asked, holding the beautiful, white-haired lady’s hand. She removed the veil so they could fully see her beautiful face.

She smiled. “As you can see, I am more than fine and happy to see you all again.” The five ladies smile cheerfully.

“But how is this possible? You told us back then that the moment the ritual was done, you would cease to exist. So, how are you here now?” Nebula asked, but the white-haired woman just smiled.

“I suppose being the mother of a paragon has its perks,” she laughed. “I don’t know how this was possible, but during the ritual, somebody pulled a strand of my soul away.

That strand was insignificant in the grand scheme of things, so it didn’t affect the ritual.

Forty-five years ago, I woke up in this world.”

“Do you have any idea who this mysterious person was?” Lunara asked, but the lady shook her head.

“I have no idea. However, they left me with some missions, and for the past forty-five years, I have been completing them. It is really good to have this moment to see and talk to you five.”

“You should probably talk to him. He misses you more than you think.”

The lady just smiled. “I can’t do that, and he already knows it. My existence in this life is against the heavens. They would kill me before I say even a single word to him. However, despite not having the means to talk to him, I have you all to talk to.

So tell me, how is he? Is he happy? I have already met myself in this life, and aside from my obsession with hair, I seem happy. Is he also happy?”

The ladies turned to Lulu because he has known Klaus longer than they have.

“He is happy. He now has dozens of wives, so happiness is abundant in his life.” Lulu and the ladies laughed. “However, we both know how serious he can be. He spends most of his time finding ways to protect this world, and I think now we both know why.

But overall, he is happy, and that is the most important thing.”

The lady smiled, knowing this was more than a mother could ask.

The last time she saw Klaus, tears were rolling down his face. However, she was able to find out the outcome of her sacrifice, and that made her happy.

Naturally, she was more than happy when she first saw Klaus, still a baby, sucking his mother’s breast milk.

She had always kept a close eye on Klaus, but because she couldn’t interfere or else she risked incurring the wrath of the heavens, she always maintained her distance.

The five ladies saw the happiness in her eyes, so they took the chance to tell her all there was to know about him.

When they were done, the lady thanked them and then told them the reason she wanted an audience with them.

“I can’t stay in this life for long, but because you five are my last mission, I asked for you to come see me.

I have already reincarnated in this life, and she is amazing. The longer I stay in this form, the more Karma I’ll bring to her, so I have to leave.

However, before I leave, I have to make sure you five will continue what you started many years ago. As you all know, when it comes to my baby boy, I don’t mind doing anything to see him safe and happy.”

The ladies nodded, knowing even in death, she found her way back to ensure he was safe. That was just another level of love that no mother can boldly say they possess toward their son.

“Don’t worry, Mother, we will protect him with everything we have,” Lulu said, and her sisters nodded.

“I know you will, ladies; you have already done more than enough.

However, for my last gift, I will ensure that your True Selves are awakened. You five are special, and I want you to tap into that special self to protect my son. You never had the chance to awaken them back then, but now, you will and I will make sure of that.”

She waved her hand, and five different colored star runes appeared. They flew and merged with their foreheads. “The moment I cease to exist, my soul energy will be absorbed by the five of you.

It will give you added strength and also open the path to your past selves. Aside from that, you will also inherit a part of my power that can be used only once, so use it when it is the only ace you have left.”

They nodded.

“But before then, why don’t we spar?”

Thus, for the next ten hours, the ladies had a good spar with their mother-in-law, who came back from the past just to ensure her son was well.

After everything was done, she looked at the five ladies and smiled, “It is really good to meet you five ladies again.”

The five ladies smiled and hugged her again, this time with bittersweet tears in their eyes. They missed her, but knowing this was just a strand of her soul, they knew the real her was still waiting for them, even if she didn’t know their past history.

“Don’t worry, Mother, we will protect your son with everything we have,” Nebula said with a smile.

“I have no doubt you will. That said, good luck, ladies, and may you all find the happiness you deserve.” With a wave of her hand, the five ladies fell into a trance-like state.

The sea shuddered, and a man clad in black armor, holding a trident, emerged. The lady looked at him and sighed, “You already know what had to be done.”

The man nodded. “Don’t worry, my lady, I will do my best and ensure the young master is protected. I owe you that much.”

“Very well. Guard these five, and when they wake up, tell them they should spend more time with me. They will understand what I mean.”

The man nodded.

After looking at the five ladies floating in the air, she smiled and then formed a hand seal. She turned into a dust of energy and slowly flew into their foreheads.

Soon, she was gone, and three hours later, the ladies woke up much stronger.

Aside from Lunara and Nebula, who were already at the Ascension stage, Lulu, Sofia, and Princess Eshira, in a strange way, broke through to the Ascension stage, yet no tribulation happened.

Even Nebula and Lunara leveled up to the peak of the Ascension stage.

Tears fell down their faces for a few minutes; however, upon hearing what the man, who clearly startled them, said.

They returned to Dream City to spend time with Klaus’s mother.

When they were gone, the man sighed and then dove back into the sea. He still had some things to handle before meeting Klaus.
