The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1216: Universe...Here I come [End of Volume VII]

”Big brother, I miss you so much.”

Klaus didn’t know where Pickle Berry came from, but just when he exited the pagoda, she was upon him. Klaus smiled and patted her back.

Pickle Berry is now akin to an 18-year-old beast human; however, her mentality is that of a child.

Klaus doesn’t yet have all 8 of his 8th Incarnations as Kaden’s memories. However, the small he had remembered so far made him understand that Pickle Berry would remain this innocent and sweet even if she were to live for a thousand years.

”What took you so long to wake up, brother?” Pickle Berry said, feeling her emotions finally setting in. Her face was practically buried in Klaus’s chest.

Lumia looked at her daughter, her cute serpentine eyes twinkling, and smiled.

”I am here now, Pickle Berry... I am sorry I made you worry. It will never happen again...”

Pickle Berry pulled her head back, tears falling down her face.

”Promised?”

Klaus smiled and nodded, ”I promise.”

She smiled and placed her head back on his chest while Klaus could only hold her for a couple more minutes. When she was finally satisfied, she pulled her head back and started telling Klaus all she and Jane had discovered over their one-and-a-half-year journey.

After making sure she recounted every last detail, she added in a calm tone, ”If we can go to the Dragon Continent, there is a forgotten world where we stayed several million years back.

On this planet, you left a way to enter the Mining World of Dwarvekug. They will be the best people to sell all the minerals we have discovered to.

Of course, we can sell a few to the many federations, and if possible, even to the Universe Bank. But brokering a deal with the Dwarves will be best for the Earth.”

She looked at everyone and added subtly, ”Right now, we have more than enough resources to make sure this planet is protected from even gods.”

Klaus nodded.

When he woke up, Yuying and the rest of his wives informed him they had discovered two mines full of Luminous Crystals. Per what they knew, it would be a while before they would need money again if they were to excavate the minerals and sell them.

Now, Pickle Berry and Jane had discovered four more planets, with one even having something more valuable than Luminous Crystals.

This time around, they knew it would indeed be difficult to sell just like that. After all, the moment they started selling them, they would attract unwanted attention, which could be bad for them.

So Pickle Berry, who knew a way thanks to her past life memories, came up with a solution.

”I will consider that later, Pickle Berry. For now, you have to prepare and leave with your mom and her sisters.”

Pickle Berry, who had already been informed by her mom, seemed sad, but she nodded.

”Just don’t forget to summon me from time to time to go on adventures together like back in the day. I will work hard to become strong so that I can protect you and myself when we go on adventures.”

Klaus nodded.

He most certainly will summon everyone, even his friends from time to time, to go on adventures that he believes will help them grow.

For now, he must go find his footing in the familiar yet new Universe.

After spending a few minutes checking up on everyone, he went to speak with his undead and Doom Guards.

He learned Queenie, Ohema, Lucy, and Nadia are in deep seclusion, attempting to break through to the Immortal Stage before embarking on their journey.

Of course, once one of them reaches the immortal stage, they will head out. The rest will join them later, since they can just teleport there.

Klaus didn’t want all of them to enter seclusion now since the journey to Caelmir will be very long.

They will be leaving in two years, since Rania had sent a message to her mom, who planned to send a couple of immortals to rendezvous with them at the nearest intergalactic station.

Once they meet them and get into a much superior spaceship, they will need less than two years to reach Caelmir, which is several million light-years away.

Hopefully, over the next ten years, his wives would all become immortals, since he knew he would have a speed run through most of the Immortal Stages thanks to the seven god cores in his soul sea.

They have four spaceships.

The ladies will go with one, and he will take the Birdship.

Since it is linked to a massacre that happened recently, his using it will draw attention toward him, allowing his wives to move unhindered.

The other two will be used by his friends who had already left a couple of days ago. They are just going to get their IDs and bank accounts. This way, they will have their presence in the universe too.

One of the things Yuying and Nadia brought back was credit cards that can be used to open accounts and even have a few Universe Coins deposited in them.

Later, Klaus will transfer some funds to them.

They also want to get connected to the Dark Virtual Space.

Klaus himself will be getting one to see if he can connect to his parents.

He only used the Virtual Dark Space briefly in his 9th Incarnation, so he didn’t know much... but he will be finding out soon enough.

Klaus spent a couple of hours with his undead and Doom Guards, who plan to leave Earth for three years to gain some battle experience and see if they can reconnect with a few allies they had back in the day.

Klaus gave them a God Crystal each to use while out there.

He later went to the moon to meet his Beast Legion.

After spending some time with them, he gave them his newly upgraded blood, so that those lucky to gain enlightenment will become immortals thanks to the abundance of energy contained in just a single drop of his blood.

Until he becomes an immortal, his blood cannot magically make anyone immortal. However, with their bloodlines now all at the Supreme grade, they are supreme beasts.

This makes them super powerful. They will be protecting the Earth for now until Klaus’s wives return from their training on Caelmir.

Nadia also promised to leave a few puppets behind. In essence, by the time his ladies are ready to leave, Earth will have many Empyrean-grade beasts and perhaps even an immortal or two protecting it.

Klaus ran a couple more errands. In the end, he managed what he could and left the rest to his ladies to handle.

After two days, Klaus was ready to leave.

His wives, who have yet to consume his blood and enter seclusion, came to see him off for now. They will be popping in every now and then as he heads wherever his journey takes him.

In fact, now that Icon had created a connection between him and everyone who has his blood, there is no need to even miss him.

Going to his side or him coming to their side is as simple as snapping their fingers.

However, ladies tend to be too emotional for their own good, so he had to hug them, kiss them, and wipe some tears. Naturally, it took him two hours to calm them all down.

”Remember, on the way, if anyone messes with you, don’t hesitate to summon us,” Asha said, wearing a smile to mask her worried expression.

Klaus smiled and nodded, ”I will be sure to summon you ladies at the first sight of danger.”

Klaus knew if he didn’t run away, they would never let him leave, so he made a run for it. But to his shock, they teleported into the ship, not willing to let him go.

’Ah, what the hell, they can stay for a few more days and get back home in the blink of an eye.’

And that was how Klaus left Earth to go make the heavens regret ever meeting him.

(A/N: This is the end of Volume II. Though it was a short volume, we got to see the ladies go into action and defend Earth in Klaus’s absence, a clear sign they can do it again...and they will.

Now, be ready for Volume VIII. It is going to be face-slapping, bloody, and well... Paragon worthy.
