The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 992: Supreme Panther

Hearing Klaus’s words, everyone who had been panicking calmed down.

Now, they had come to the conclusion that Klaus was someone beyond their understanding, so his words were the assurance they needed.

Klaus, on the other hand, was pondering the events that led to Prince Challa’s awakening as a Supreme Beast.

The Star Monarch bloodline has three stages: Divine, Supreme, and Celestial.

So far, he could only evolve beasts to the Divine stage. In fact, all the beasts under his command were Divine beasts.

However, he knew for a fact that at his current cultivation base, he could only evolve beasts to the Divine stage. Of course, until he reached the ’Domain Stage,’ the chances of him evolving a beast to the Supreme stage were just impossible.

However, Prince Challa was now awakening as a Supreme Beast, and that alone was more than he could wrap his mind around.

’Unless Bast had given him her core god blood essence. That is the only logical way his bloodline strength could evolve beyond the Divine grade.’

Klaus smiled.

’But since we are here now, I can only wait and see the kind of monster he will become.’

The purple light continued to penetrate the clear sky. Slowly, it started turning darker. The darker it turned, the more powerful it became until eventually, the shade started turning golden.

It didn’t completely become golden, for the dark shade dominated the color of the light. However, there were golden strands inside.

After about two hours, the light subsided, and that was when a majestic beast walked out. Prince Challa, in his beast form, was a beauty beyond understanding.

He was in a compressed state in his beast form, so his height was only two meters. He had dark fur with a few strands of golden fur.

However, while everyone knew he would come out with a dark fur when they saw the dark light, the other features that now decorated his body were ones they hadn’t seen coming.

Around his head, a golden, metallic substance coated him, which extended to form a layer of golden armor around the vital parts of his body.

His claws were of the same substance, and just looking at their sharpness, one could tell they were killing claws, ones that could tear through anything.

His eyes were also golden.

”Well, that is not something you see every day,” Klaus muttered, looking at the majestic yet deadly panther staring at him.

For a moment, Klaus felt the urge to lunge at him and exchange a few blows, considering the panther staring at him was at the peak of the Nether stage.

Suddenly, the surroundings around Klaus changed, appearing inside a large cave made purely of vibranium. He didn’t know how he appeared there, but when he saw Prince Challa standing 100 meters from him, he relaxed and walked toward him.

”What have you become?” That was the first thing Klaus asked when he was close enough.

Prince Challa didn’t immediately answer. Instead, he stood there for a few minutes and then sighed.

”I am now a Supreme Beast; however, I am not exactly a panther anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I am a panther alright, but my race has changed. It is now Knullix Panther instead of just panther.”

Efad, Klaus’s Ninth Soul Body, appeared the next second when he heard Prince Challa’s words.

”Knullix Panther, you say?” Prince Challa raised his brow, seeing a small, much younger version of Klaus appear.

Klaus rubbed the back of his head, seeing the look in Prince Challa’s eyes. ”He is my soul body.”

Efad didn’t mind the look in Prince Challa’s face, since his interest lay more in the race Prince Challa had now awakened.

”The Knullix Panthers aren’t beings from this universe.” Efad turned to Klaus. ”They are creatures from the forbidden universe, the same universe your Doom Guards came from.

In fact, among the forbidden beast races, the Knullix Panthers are among the top five strongest, just a step behind the Deathknights.

To think Bast would have a source of blood from said race and even risk annihilation just to give it to you. She really is daring.”

Klaus, who understood the odds Bast had to overcome to make this happen, just smiled. He turned and looked at Prince Challa, who seemed lost as he heard Klaus and Efad talk about his new race.

Klaus sighed, ”No need to look sad. Know that in the entire universe, you are one of a kind. Your new race makes you someone many wouldn’t see coming. However, this also means you and these heavens aren’t on good terms now.

Not that you and they had ever been on good terms. But this is good. Now that you have severed your ties with this universe, your future achievements will be endless.”

Prince Challa liked what he heard.

Klaus looked around the cave housing the vibranium and turned to look at Prince Challa.

”The goddess said I should give it to you. She said something along the lines of, ’You will owe her big time, that not even one gallon of your blood can pay the debt.’”

Klaus just smirked, and the next second, they were back on the outside, where everyone standing had no idea they had just traveled to a pocket dimension.

Prince Challa transformed into his human form.

A majestic-looking human with dark hair and golden eyes stood, clad in dark armor. He had gauntlets on both hands that ended in golden claws made from vibranium, a much better and more powerful version than the one on Earth.

His family rushed to his side the next second. Klaus looked at his ladies, who were looking back at him with eyes that demanded answers.

However, Klaus just shrugged, making them glare at him with murderous eyes.

”What’s with the hungry eyes? He awakened as a Supreme Beast, making him the first to appear in this world. However, after I reach the Domain stage and my bloodline evolves, you all will become Supreme Beasts.”

”How about his smell? He smells different,” Nebula said. In her past life, she was born and raised in the jungle, so when it comes to beasts, she is an expert.

”You girls are just funny. But to answer your question, he is no longer an ordinary panther. As to what he has become, that knowledge is beyond you ladies, unless you want the heavens to find an excuse to descend on us.”

Klaus didn’t want what happened to Yuying back in his fourth incarnation to happen to his ladies, so he chose to hold on to the knowledge of the forbidden universe from his ladies.

Thankfully, his ladies knew when to keep quiet, so they chose not to ask any more questions and let Klaus calm down.

After a few hugs and catching up, Klaus left, while his ladies chose to stay and return the next day for the meeting.

Klaus initially wanted to return to the Tower of Defiance, but he changed his mind midway and decided to visit his two disciples instead.

After all, they had already sent him a message a few weeks ago saying they wanted to show him something. Now seemed like the best time to go see them.
