The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1368 1368: Cosmic Weaver

Lady Danikaʼs situation is a bit technical.

She was 7 years old when the apocalypse descended. She witnessed the horror and pain. She came close to dying herself.

However, in her difficult moment, the first few brave humans who stood and fought came to her rescue. She was rescued by Nari, of all people.

Since that day, she had always dreamed of becoming a warrior and saving everyone she could. It was her everyday dream.

However, reality is a bit disappointing when you least expect it. When she turned 16 and awakened, it became clear that she was no warrior.

Her talent and class were in embroidery. Basically, just like how her daughter also became a fashion designer, she was more into crochet, and that was just not how she saw her life.

So she was heartbroken for years. She tried many times to make sense of her life, but as the years passed, she realized she was worthless.

That only depended on whether Nadia also became useless after her awakening. She blamed it on herself, and for years, she believed she had ruined her daughter.

But that should all have changed when Nadia became someone. She should have stopped seeing herself as a worthless being now that Nadia alone commands thousands of powerful warriors.

However, years of looking down on herself had made it so that even after taking in Klausʼs blood, she couldnʼt awaken a class that would suit her. If anything, she had become more rooted in the path of Embroidery.

Klaus thought of a way to address her situation, but he came up short. Her limitation had to do with years of mental programming and self-limitation. She had limited her self-image to the point that she saw herself as worthless when she looked in the mirror.

Changing that doesnʼt take a day or a few words of encouragement. It takes years of careful reasoning and dedication to pull her out of the pit she is in.

[Master, ask her about her job class]

Icon suddenly spoke to Klaus, making him smile and finally speak. ”Mind telling me what job class you awakened?”

His question caused Lady Danika to furrow her brow. She wondered why Klaus asked that, but she didnʼt hesitate much and answered.

”Cosmic Weaver,” she paused and added, ”It basically allows me to weave using ropes. It is not exactly the kind of class you can use for battles.”

Klaus chuckled. ”Maybe. Maybe not.”

He then asked Icon why she asked him to ask that question.

[The senior had been looking into her before he left. From the little he had found, I think he found the true meaning of her class and was getting close to a breakthrough.]

ʼTell me what he found.ʼ

[Okay, Master. Before that, I hope the Master is already aware that the danger to the universe today is the foreign race, right?]

ʼI know that, Icon. I have already become aware of that just recently.ʼ

[Well, according to the senior, the foreign race is here because of her.]

Klausʼs eyes widened, drawing the ladiesʼ attention to him. ”Is everything alright?” Lady Danika asked, a bit panicked.

”I will answer that in a few seconds, so hold on for now.” She nodded.

ʼTell me more, Icon.ʼ

[The senior had long known of her class, and from what he had heard, it seemed the Cosmic Weaver was a cosmic class.]

ʼAre you saying Lady Danika is a cosmic being?ʼ

[Yes and no. She is not a cosmic being in the sense that she is not a cosmic being. But she is a cosmic being because her class is cosmic.

From what the senior has found, the foreign race believes that above the Celestial stage, there is one more stage a warrior can rise to. Some even say there is a whole different kind of realm above that.

But they believe there is a realm beyond Celestial, and well, they are not wrong. The Tower of Inheritance came from someone who claims he is a pseudo-primordial, so I am inclined to believe them.

The only question here is that the path of ascension that would take them to that realm had been closed. The senior believes the one who closed it is Lady Danika.

Now, I know it is a long story, but looking at her class and its nature, I think they are on to something.

Think about it. The realms of ascension we have now are all made from cosmic energy. Whenever you take a step to a higher realm, you pass through the cosmic stage to make such advances.

And well, her class is literally a Cosmic Weaver—someone who can weave cosmic energy in ways us mortals canʼt even begin to comprehend.

If that is to be trusted, then I think she had closed that gate because she believed it was not worth opening. But somehow, the foreign race tracked her to this universe with the aim of catching her and forcing her to reopen it.]

ʼThat is a lot, Icon. I donʼt even know where to start.ʼ

Klaus was indeed lost for words right now. He never expected the senior to suspect such a big conspiracy and say nothing to him.

[The Master can handle this however he wants, but I know and believe the senior wasnʼt mistaken. There is something cosmic about her. We just have to find how to awaken it.]

Klaus let a small smile appear on his face. He turned to Lady Danika and decided to lift her spirit a bit.

”The good news is that you are not worthless. In fact, you are far from being called worthless. If anything, you should be called the most important being in the universe.

However, because of how excellent you are, your worth is refusing to reveal itself in fear of what would happen when that happens.”

Lady Danika looked at Klaus for a few seconds and smiled. ”No need to make me feel good, Klaus. I know I can never become a warrior.”

”Oh, but you are more than a warrior. You see, you, my dear, are someone who can be called a cosmic being. Basically, you live outside of this plane. You breathe different kinds of air and wield different kinds of energy.

So while in this plane of existence you are yet to reveal your brilliance, I believe soon you will become who you are meant to be.”

”Donʼt mess with me, Klaus. Am I really something other than worthless...”

Klaus smiled and reached for her hand. ”You are anything but worthless. You are cosmic, Lady Danika. You are higher than any of us, and I will prove that to you one day. For now, start believing in yourself.

See yourself as someone bigger than this universe. I know I do, and many others believe the same.”

Tears began rolling down her face. Klaus, of course, pulled her in and gave her a shoulder to cry on. There is just nothing in this universe that would make her happier than hearing what Klaus had just said.

The night ended with her cuddled in Klausʼs arms, her tears flowing freely.
