The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1152: The Awakening (56)

When the last of them died, the heavens quaked and shook, trying to rebel, but they lost. Klaus stopped the seven Heavenly Executioners, saving Tifa from their cruelty.

They hated him, but they lost in what they claimed to be a fair battle. So, although unwilling, the tribulation cloud slowly started to disperse.

Klaus held his guard up until the last of the clouds was dispersed.

“Klaus”

Just when the last trace of the tribulation cloud dispersed, Tifa teleported to Klaus’s side, tears falling down her face. Klaus held her in his arms, making sure she knew that from now on, the heavens had no hold on her.

They tried but failed to reclaim her, even after she reincarnated. Now, she is her own person. Her fate is in her hands now, and all this was accomplished thanks to Klaus.

“I am fine, Tifa… I told you I would save you, and I did. So relax, I am fine now… better than fine even,” Klaus smiled, exhaustion weighing down on him…

Suddenly, Klaus pushed Tifa, sending her flying several miles in a blink of an eye, as the void cracked and a large palm strike flashed out.

Klaus barely had time to raise his defense before the palm landed on his chest.

BOOM

“KLAUS”

Klaus’s wives, friends, and various warriors on the battlefield all screamed as he blasted into a mountain several miles away.

“Die, you evil!”

A voice came from the void, followed by another palm, this time aimed at Queenie. However, a brownish silver-haired lady appeared before Queenie, waving her palm.

However, just before she could block the palm, space twisted around her, and she was pulled into a domain filled with ten domain gods.

“Blood Dance – ACTIVATE”

Queenie had no time to waste, so she burned her life force and activated her trump card, gathering all energy into her palm.

She struck forward, meeting the palm in a thunderclap strike.

Queenie’s arm was shattered, and half her body was paralyzed. She immediately lost consciousness, her life hanging by a thread.

“Die.” The hand came again, sending out another attack at Queenie, aiming to finish her off. However, Miriam appeared, the gem in her crown glowering.

“LIFE SACRIFICE”

All her sisters clapped their hands together, burning their life force into Miriam. Her crown hummed, and a wave of power surged through the sword.

“ETERNAL SLASH”

Miriam unleashed an attack, cutting through the palm strike. She didn’t wait for the next strike since she saw the void open where Klaus landed.

However, before she could move to her man’s side, a powerful surge of pressure came from the void, which froze her in place.

“Domain Palm Strike.” The voice came from the void

“Miriam” Tifa, who saw her sister only a few meters away from death’s door, teleported and appeared behind her. She used every last ounce of her strength to push Miriam away, using her body as a shield.

“NOOOOOO”

Miriam’s heartbreaking screams filled the space when the palm landed on her sister’s body, shattering every bone in her body… her fate unknown.

ROARRRRRRRR

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar filled the place when a different void crack appeared, and yet again, a palm strike came from it, aimed at Nari….

“Chaos Dragon Blood Fury”

Chaos’s voice boomed as he flapped his wings, appearing between Nari and the palm. He used his tail to strike Nari, who was frozen in place, sending her flying across the battlefield.

“Dragon Scale”

“Dragon Aura”

Chaos activated two more skills before the palm landed on his body. He was sent crashing down… a devastating wound appeared on his left wing and left leg.

Far in the distance, Klaus rose up after being sent crashing into yet another mountain. He didn’t mind; his focus was on his wives…

“Jane, take them away now,” Klaus shouted, but he sensed his voice was masked, and the connection he shared with his wives and friends was also severed.

“Die, Paragon. The faster you die, the better for all of us.” The voice from the void spoke again, and chains came from the crack and bound Klaus, locking him in place.

He was made to watch as another crack appeared, and this time, a spear made from void energy shot at the unconscious Queenie.

However, before the spear could land, he saw Danny take on his Titan form and catch the spear. Then with a roar, he snapped it in half, only to be blasted away, sending him flying off the planet, his fate unknown.

“Icon, do it. Activate the curse.”

Klaus shouted, but Icon didn’t want to do it. After all, it was the same as giving his life away…

“DO IT!”

Klaus screamed, his expression twisted. If Magnus saw this look now, he would recognize it at once. After all, it was the same look he wore when his wives and mother died during the awakening in his time.

Now, Klaus wore the same look, and his anger rose beyond even what Magnus felt.

[Paragon, don’t do this.] The head of Death said, feeling Klaus’s life force fading away.

When the first palm strike came, all nine heads came to his rescue. When he needed her, they put aside their differences and came to his aid. However, Klaus dispersed all of them.

He sent the head of Void and Life to protect Tifa, the head of Time and Gravity to protect Queenie, the head of Dimensions and Elemental to protect Miriam, and the head of Chaos and Space to protect Miriam.

They are the only ones being attacked.

He was only left with the head of Death when he took on the second palm. However, knowing what Klaus started, the head of Death was powerless to stop him.

“BREAK!” Klaus screamed, his body releasing dense waves of life energy.

When Klaus reached the Ascendant stage, a throne and sword appeared in his third core. He called them the Blood Throne and the Sword of Death.

These two weapons were something he used in all nine lives he had lived. Whenever he used them, his Paragon nature would be exposed. Wherever he went, the aura of a Paragon would follow him.

It was something he could not use unless he had no other choice left. In all nine lives, something extremely dangerous had to happen before he would be forced to use them.

So today too, he was at the stage where if he didn’t use them, his wives would die.

Of course, the reason his death was guaranteed, even if he saved his wives, was because Klaus was nowhere close to having the energy and body to use the sword and throne.

Suddenly, the chains binding him shattered, and a black sword, releasing immense blood and death energy, appeared behind him.

Klaus touched the sword just when a fourth palm strike came for Queenie.

Chaos took the third palm for her, and now, Chaos’s women were about to take the fourth.

Klaus could not allow them to get hurt, so, throwing all caution to the wind, he activated the sword…

In an instant, a wave of death energy blasted out, destroying the palm. Klaus moved, and he appeared beside Nari, who was the next target.

He unleashed a powerful attack, which again destroyed his hand.

However, Klaus fell to his knees. But he rose to his feet and attacked another palm aimed at Miriam. This time, his entire bones shattered, and he started vomiting blood.

⟦You are at your limit, master⟧

Icon said, but when a different palm came again for Queenie, against all odds, he rose to his feet, dark veins forming on his face and neck, his heart beating wildly like a drum.

Klaus raised his sword, tears falling down his cold gaze. However, his hand gave way, and all he could do was teleport his body in front of the palm strike.

Suddenly, a calm, chilling, and sweet voice spread across the entire place, forcing everything to come to a standstill.

“ENOUGH!”
