The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1120: The Awakening (24)

The moment Klaus heard the order to ready weapons, he knew the time had come to implement his plans.

”Jane, get ready.”

Inside the Pagoda, Jane formed a hand seal, and the dome appeared inside her star map. She tapped on the side, and a gap opened.

However, inside the dome, nobody aside from Klaus noticed the change.

The storm that was raining down the shards suddenly exploded, and in an instant, the entire dome was filled with green ice mist.

”Now.”

All ten clones of Klaus manifested, moved, and appeared beside the three weapons that had been activated.

Three life stage warriors were guarding each weapon. However, the moment the clones arrived, two exploded into poison mist, knocking all three warriors back.

Then the other clone touched the weapon. The next second, the clones were moved, and the gap in the dome closed.

The mist was cleared by a mage who immediately noticed what had happened. If Jane had been a moment late, the mission would have failed.

”The weapons”

Everyone’s expression changed.

Somewhere on the battlefield, the three weapons were mounted and ready to use.

”Damn it,” King Archon frowned. However, before he could do anything, one of the weapons was fired, and a life stage warrior fighting Lily was obliterated.

”Good weapon,” Klaus smiled, and then a wicked look appeared on his face.

”Initiate self-destruct sequence and send one of the weapons through the crack...”

Princess Eshira, who received this order, teleported away from the battle and appeared beside one of the weapons, and entered a code.

The moment she did, the mechanical voice of the weapon reached her ears, followed by a countdown.

”Self-destruct sequence initiated. Time until detonation, ten seconds.”

One of Klaus’s clones took the weapon, and in two seconds, he entered through the crack, shocking every last Neburian.

King Archon turned and looked at Klaus. ”How?”

He was already aware of the dynamics. Since they were the attackers, they could enter and leave Earth at will, but the Earthlings couldn’t do the same.

So the fact that Klaus managed to enter their world shocked them.

”What do you expect? I am a paragon, bitch... the rules don’t apply to me.”

His mind controlled the clone to scan the world, and he was shocked to find more warriors still hidden and waiting to be called.

This caused him to smile. ”Karma sure is a bitch... isn’t she?”

The moment he arrived, the warriors around him attacked.

However, Klaus didn’t wait for them to get closer. He detonated his own body, creating a thick poison mist. This mist blocked them from getting close to the weapon.

On the outside, Klaus raised his left hand and started counting down.

”5... 4... 3... 2... 1.”

”BOOM!”

An explosion so violent rocked the planet’s surface, creating a powerful radiation shockwave that spread out several miles wide.

In an instant, a vast chunk of Planet Nebu became a deadland, and all warriors hidden within were reduced to ash.

”NOOOOOO!”

King Archon’s scream was heard far and wide. However, Klaus only smiled, his expression cold and focused.

The explosion caused by Asmodeus was nothing compared to this.

Klaus was already aware of the kind of weapon the Neburians brought. He knew the three weapons were no cannons but rather mega bombs—the kind you use to destroy a planet.

He knew the weapons were brought for one of two things.

First, they wanted to use it as a threat to force them to surrender. Klaus knew that was a likely scenario.

Of course, he also knew that if they somehow recognized that there were no civilians on the planet, they would switch to the second option.

Complete annihilation.

Threatening the lives of ordinary folks is the best way to force Earth to surrender. However, without them, there was nothing stopping them from killing everyone.

Of course, one person stood between them. This one person was someone they had received warnings about. So they knew he had to go, and the quickest way was to kill him.

However, Klaus was much more brilliant and cunning.

When he first met King Archon, he didn’t just kill the eleven guards who attacked him to show off. No, Klaus used the moment of fear and shock to get inside his mind and plant a seed...

The king is the key to everything, so Klaus wanted access to his mind.

Thankfully, he did, and to his complete and total joy, the king came back.

This development allowed him to implement the second phase of his plan... the Dome.

The dome was used to isolate all Death Stage and the majority of Life Stage warriors from the main battle. However, it was also for him to create the perfect smoke chamber to gas the king and easily access his mind.

That worked perfectly. With the Hypnotic Ice, Illusion, and Poison, he was able to create the perfect smoke screen.

This allowed him to access the mind of the king, get what he wanted, and plant some suggestions in the king’s mind. He couldn’t stay there for long, but he was able to do all he wanted.

Now, he managed to take the weapon out of their hands and, using the information he obtained from the king, made sure the bomb exploded where he wanted it to.

Now that the illusion was broken and the dome became clear, everyone, including the king, finally realized what had happened.

From the start of the battle, when Klaus raised the dome, everything else that happened had been one big and complex illusion.

Even Meva is still alive—broken, but alive. The Life Stage warrior he killed is also alive. However, the bomb inside Planet Nebu is real.

”It was all an illusion,” said a Life Stage warrior named Tey, a demonic tiger man, fear gripping him.

”Nothing to be shocked about, demon. I merely needed your cooperation to steal the weapons. And now that I have done so and managed to wipe out the backup force of the Neburians, we can try to kill each other for real this time.”

Klaus smiled, and then the head of Death, Void, Space, and Time formed into armor.

This time, instead of a metallic chestplate, shoulder guards, boots, wings, and a helmet, only leather armor formed around him.

However, compared to metal, it was much more durable.

Also, two swords appeared in his grip, and a high-tech glass covered his eyes. On the screen of the glasses, the Paragon System displayed the information of all the warriors facing him.

”I killed only warriors from your side, but I will kill the innocent civilians if the need comes down to it. This means you can only kill me and be free.

That is the only way out for you.”

Klaus smiled and then spoke to Danny using telepathy. ”You are on, buddy.”

Through the crack, thousands of the warriors who survived the bomb started pouring out. The three moons were sealed by a device built by the Vareenites, Kathorians, and the Elyrians. They were protecting their people just like Klaus was doing on Beta Earth.

So when the bomb detonated, all warriors, mostly mercenaries, left on Planet Nebu became alert. The first bomb took a very large part of Planet Nebu away, and now, there is a second bomb.

Naturally, unable to go to any of the three moons, their only option was to come to Earth, some to surrender...others to kill the bastard trying to destroy their world.

However, just when the last of them arrived, the battlefield shook, and a 140-meter-tall man spoke, his voice shaking the very ground they stood on.

”Everyone, welcome to Earth.” Danny grinned, and then his axe rose into the air.

”Law Breaker.” He slashed his axe, unleashing a powerful arc about 10 km wide.

The ground trembled, and everyone who saw this shuddered. However, the arc passed by everyone and slammed hard into the crack. It fractured, and instantly the portal turned golden.

Klaus grinned. His first trump card had been unleashed, and it was successful.
