The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1050: Asmodeus, the Rule Breaker

While Klaus was held up inside the time-controlled Pagoda working with the nerds of Earth, Asmodeus was with the Nine Soul Bodies and Icon working to bring back Eryx and Alesi.

They needed two planet cores, so Klaus sent them away to harvest the core of the dying Mars. Then, using the Doomsday Cauldron, they were to kill another world.

The spirit of the Doomsday Cauldron was in the process of awakening, so Klaus knew killing and perhaps devouring another planet would fully awaken it.

He planned to kill two birds with one stone.

Thankfully, those he sent on the mission all had his best interests at heart, so they worked faster than they were expected to. Two days later, Mars and Pluto were out of the Earth’s Solar System.

In their place, the two cores that any Domain Stage warrior or higher would love to possess were now the conduits they would use to summon the two undead warriors who once fought terrifying warriors across many galaxies alongside their master, the Paragon of War and Carnage.

After harvesting the core, they returned to Earth and chose to perform the summoning inside the Primordial Cave.

When they entered the cave, Klaus’s wives, who had already inherited their master’s legacies, saw them. Naturally, seeing the Nine identical Nonuplets that looked eerily similar to their man made them want to pamper them, so they came to their side.

That was when they saw Asmodeus.

Naturally, four of the ladies recognized him at first glance. However, before they could say anything, Asmodeus spoke...

”No need to wonder, for it is I, the Great, the Vile, the Evil Asmodeus. Pleasure to see you fine beauties again.” He laughed and bowed slightly, ”On behalf of my brothers and sisters, I thank you for your sacrifice back then. Because of you, the master gets to live a full life.”

Although saying something like this was considered great bad karma, Asmodeus was an undead, so in order to break that rule and allow the ladies to finally speak about their life in Klaus’s 7th incarnation, he spoke first.

Whatever karma that would follow according to the rules would be placed on Asmodeus. And well, he was an undead, so the heavens could only seethe in silence.

Lunara, Sofia, Lulu, and Nebula smiled, feeling a load taken off them.

”It’s really good and satisfying to see you again, Asmodeus. Can you tell us more about what happened after we left?” Lunara asked, and Asmodeus nodded.

But before saying anything, he first looked at the rest of Klaus’s wives, ”Sorry, ladies, but to break the rules of karma, I must have knowledge of what to break. This means that since we have never interacted in the past, I can only break the rules of the Master’s 7th life.

But fear not, when the Paragon Guards get here, they can also break the rules, so you can speak about your past lives with your sisters then...”

The ladies nodded, already wishing for these Paragon Guards to get here quickly.

”However, you are different,” Asmodeus looked at Queenie, ”You are Asura, right?”

Queenie nodded, and Asmodeus burst out into resounding laughter, leaving the ladies and Klaus’s Soul Bodies that were now being hugged by the ladies stunned.

Even Paragon couldn’t escape Lily’s grip.

”Hahahahaha, so the rumours are true, the Asura still lives.” He was so happy that the ladies started to sense something deeper from the way he became happy.

Naturally, they wanted to ask. However, Klaus warned them not to ask anything about their past. Thankfully, the rule breaker, Asmodeus, spoke first once again.

”The Asura Race, one of the strongest races to have ever roamed the universe.” He became serious, ”Do you ladies know that in all of existence, the Asura Race, the Ancient Titan Race, and the Sylvan Race were considered the most dangerous?

The Asura were warriors. They thrived in battle. Legend even says just one Asura could cause great chaos on the battlefield.

From what I know, during the Blood Era, there was an Asura Princess who later became the Asura Queen when she married the Asura god.

The legend speaks of her as the Incarnation of Death and Slaughter on battlefields.

Many say the Asura god was the greatest warrior to have ever walked the face of this universe, but I beg to differ. The legend of the Asura Queen was one that, to this day, left a bitter taste in the mouths of those heaven’s scums.”

The ladies turned and looked at Queenie, heart-shaped colors appearing in their eyes. They knew for a fact this Asura Queen was the same as their sister Queenie standing before them.

Even if that wasn’t obvious, the fact that Asmodeus was smiling at her said it all...

”Tell us more,” Lulu asked, and Asmodeus nodded.

”Legend says that during the Blood War, the very war that caused the heavens to cry blood, causing them to curse the Asura name, the Blood Queen fought side by side with the Asura God.

The legend speaks of the moment when only the Asura Queen and the Asura God were left.

They said that in that moment, realizing they were losing, she activated her strongest technique, a technique that, to this day, is ranked as one of the top ten most destructive techniques in existence.

She activated the Blood Dance, and in the two hours she bought for herself, she killed 800 gods, 456 Supremes, and 13 Celestials.

What was even more chilling was that she was merely a Demigod, yet she was able to cause this massacre.”

The ladies felt a chill run down their spines.

In that very moment, looking at their sister, they saw her not as a mere human but as a god slayer. Her image changed in their eyes, and from then on, they would see her as someone who defied the norm.

”For now, I am busy, but once I am done with my business, I will be happy to tell you more.” Asmodeus laughed, ”In fact, I have more to say because aside from the Blood Queen, there is the legend about the Shadowless Assassin who caused a Paragon to go on the run.

Oh, and there is the one about the Red Fury who nearly succeeded in killing a Paragon.” Asmodeus subtly looked at Nia and Lily, making sure the ladies read his gaze.

”Do you beauties want to see how we summon undead beings back from the dead?” Naturally, the ladies nodded.

”Wonderful.”

The fact that the Evil Asmodeus let loose about how two of them nearly killed a Paragon left them wondering just what had happened for them to nearly kill their man.

This left them all with complex feelings.

Far in the distance, Nyxthar stood with the rest of the Doom Guards. They were looking in Asmodeus’s direction.

”So he is here now,” Nyxthar muttered, an annoyed look appearing on his face.

Eren saw his expression and giggled, ”Why, are you jealous your rival is now here?”

”Tsk, Asmodeus is in no way my rival. He challenged me 56 times back then and lost all.” Nyxthar scoffed.

”That was because he didn’t use his undead. In a way, he fought you while handicapped.” Veylor laughed alongside his friends.

Yaw and her twin brother, Hans, looked at each other and giggled.

”I think Boss Nyxthar is jealous because Asmodeus is such a handsome dude and even at the Domain Stage now.”

”That’s it. I am leaving.” Nyxthar vanished and appeared back on Earth. Back inside the cave, the four Doom Guards couldn’t hold back their laughter.
