The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1406: Selfie With The Burning Angel

”So where are you going next?” Burning Angel asked.

”Well, Lord Victor is taking me somewhere before you forcefully teleported us here and destroyed our spaceship.”

”About that.” Burning Angel smiled weakly. He indeed acted a bit harshly, dragging them through space and even shattering their SSS-class spaceship.

”I will compensate you for the spaceship. But if I know where you are going, I can teleport you there with a mere snap of my finger.”

”Is that something a Celestial can do?” Klaus asked, a bit worried by how simple it was for Burning Angel to drag them through space. If that was the case, then he was in no way qualified to make enemies out of Celestials.

”No. The least a Celestial can do is seal space, and if their comprehension of the Space Law is a bit higher, they can teleport anyone from light-years away.

However, my bloodline allows me to link with the Dark Universe, so I can travel at light speed and also move people through it.

But unlike a spaceship, I can move several times faster, sometimes even instantaneously, depending on the gap between us. I had already moved toward that planet. You were on it when I sensed your spaceship leaving, so it was easy for me to do it.”

”That is a cool ability to have.” Klaus turned to Lord Victor and asked where they were heading.

”Planet Stella.”

Burning Angel nodded, then his eyes turned red. A few seconds later, they returned to their usual colour, which was also red, but not glowing like the sun.

”I can teleport you there. Later, I will have someone deliver the spaceship I destroyed.” He then turned to Lord Victor.

”We will meet in the Dark Space most of the time to train. Once I manage to get a good understanding of your abilities, we will schedule our time better. For now, go back and wait for my call.”

”Okay, Master Hael.”

”In that case, see you three later.” Before he could snap his finger and send them away, Klaus retrieved his phone. ”How about a selfie?”

”Uhm, what?”

”You know, a picture with you. Since I happen to be disowned by my family and bad guys seem to be waiting for me at every corner, I figured posting a selfie with you would make people back off.”

”This...”

Burning Angel, as well as Rory and Lord Victor, were all shocked by Klaus’s strange request. Never in their lives did any of them expect someone to dare ask for a selfie from a Celestial.

But then again, it was Klaus they were talking about. His shamelessness knew no boundaries.

In the end, he and Burning Angel took a couple of pictures. Afterwards, he teleported them away.

After they were gone, he took a deep breath and exhaled. Then his gaze narrowed. ”Heavens Court, soon, you will answer for your crimes.”

In the past, when he met the Paragon, just like how the Heaven’s Court had painted him, he attacked, thinking he was the most evil person to walk the face of the universe.

However, he had his reality check after his family was killed by the same Heavenly Court that he had dedicated most of his life to working for.

This made him understand that the problem had never been the Paragon. Of course, he did some more research and found out that during the first three incarnations of the Paragon, he was an ally of the Heavens.

However, that all changed at the end of the third incarnation when the Asura race was slaughtered. Before then, they were allies of the Heavens.

They fought many battles and defended this universe from all kinds of threats. But in the end, they were branded traitors and slaughtered.

Since then, they have always tried to paint the Paragon as evil whenever he reincarnates. So he knew their schemes and knew this time, too, they would do the same thing.

However, from what he had seen after meeting Klaus, things would be different this time around. They had done so much evil, so they had to pay for their crimes.

A few seconds after they left, he teleported away as well.

[Planet Stella]

Planet Stella is the homeworld of the Stella human race.

It is very large and well protected. Lord Victor wanted to take Klaus there for security reasons. If they had remained on Planet Baski, he wouldn’t have been able to do much, but on his homeworld, even a god would find it hard to break through his security.

When they arrived, he ordered a full lockdown and ordered that all security features be engaged. Klaus told him reinforcement from the Dark Space Company would arrive soon.

He anticipated all this happening, so he made sure his Star Guards stayed ahead of things. Now that he is their warrior candidate, they would not let any harm come to him.

Of course, after everything was handled, Klaus decided to make everyone widen their eyes yet again.

Because of his recent fame, he had become a sensation, with everyone wanting to know everything about his day-to-day life. So he had many followers who just wanted to hear from him.

So when a picture of him and Burning Angel suddenly appeared on the Uniweb, everything ignited again.

What left many hanging their jaws loose was the write-up attached to the image.

”Just spent the afternoon with the legendary Burning Angel - cool dude, by the way. We talked about our shared interest in protecting the universe from bad guys and how much goes into actually making it happen.

He expressed his interest in having me join his ranks, but after some consideration, he decided it would be best for me to stay with the Mission Hall. Also, since I would be going to the academy soon, he saw it best that I stay focused on one thing.

However, because I’m awesome and have proven I am not all talk, he couldn’t just let me go, so I proposed acting as a freelancer under the authority of Supreme Elder Ryuu.

This way, while I am not technically a warrior, I can still aid them at the directive of Supreme Elder Ryuu, who actually wanted me to join the Warrior Tower in the first place.

Senior Burning Angel seems to hold her in high regard, so I think I would also like her. That said, he didn’t seem to mind that I broke his formation.

Though he shared his admiration and praise, we both know it wasn’t that much of a deal. But overall, we had a good talk, and I, for one, am looking forward to our next meeting.

Standing on that, I would like to also extend a heartfelt apology to Supreme Queen Mirabel, Supreme Scholar Demel, Supreme Engineer Wennie, and the Doom Hunter for my uncultured behaviour toward them.

I was very angry and, perhaps knowing what revealing my identity would cause, I acted out of character. I am sorry and hope that when we meet in the future, we can have a good talk.

All in all, I am glad I had such an experience. Thank ya.”

And just like that, his name started trending even more, only that this time, many started to wonder just why he seemed lucky at every turn.
