The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 1234: Return Of The King

Klaus obviously didn’t expect to be addressed that way from the very mont he arrived in the Dark Space. It was rather shocking to be addressed as a Lord when he was expecting to pop up in a random place surrounded by millions of other beginners.

However, he was now standing before nine people, and he himself had no idea where they were from or even whether he could gauge their strength.

The only thing he knew, however, was that they respected him, and that could be seen from the way they were bowing.

"You have the wrong person."

However, the fact that Klaus couldn’t get a read on their cultivation base told him he was in danger.

For him not to be able to sense their cultivation base was perhaps because they either were mortals that hadn’t awakened yet, or they were powerful—too powerful for him to be able to sense their true nature.

That was a solid reason to beco skeptical of who they were.

However, his plan didn’t work...

"You are not in danger, Lord Paragon. The nine of us are your most loyal followers. We have no reason to hurt you or even have the capabilities to hurt you when this is rely a virtual world."

Hearing their response, Klaus seed to have also realised that he was not in any danger. This was indeed a virtual world, and dying was just impossible for him or anyone.

If anything, he shouldn’t even be afraid of the gods there. However, his dying would feel real. If a god were to suppress him now, he would feel the pain and despair.

So even if it was a virtual world, that didn’t an he could just beco trusting or arrogant.

"If you are indeed my most trusted followers, then why are you hiding your faces? Also, when did you beco my subordinate?"

The nine turned and looked at each other before they smiled. Then, slowly, they removed their hoods, revealing their faces.

Looking at their faces, Klaus didn’t know what to say. He most certainly did not expect to et these nine right when he started his journey.

Klaus’s mind imdiately went back to the lives that he had fully rembered, and behold, the nine beings standing before him—he had t them before.

The only problem was that the nine beings he rembered, every last one of them, were at the peak of the Celestial stage. However, back then, they were the last beings he saw before entering reincarnation.

In fact, these nine beings could be said to be the ones that ensured he successfully reincarnated every ti. Whenever he entered reincarnation, the heavens tried to attack at that vulnerable stage, and it was they who always stepped in to defend him.

So he didn’t know why they were here when, from what he could rember, they only appeared whenever he was about to reincarnate.

"What are you losers doing here?" Klaus asked with a small smile. The nine people also smiled, their gazes filled with affection, respect, and admiration.

"Master, it has been long. Don’t you think calling us losers is a little on the nose?"

"Darius, if I don’t call you losers, who else will do it? I an, you losers ignored my suffering and only showed up when I was about to die," Klaus said to the handso Elf, smiling.

Darius shook his head and turned to his brothers and sisters...

"I told you guys he would never change."

"I guess you were right, Darius. In any case, I don’t mind being called a loser by Master."

Ronan, a supre human, said while looking at Klaus, who was still puzzled that he had t these nine subordinates of his right when his journey began.

From what he rembered, these nine were known as the Star Guards. Their mission was to protect the nine Paragon Stars when Klaus entered reincarnation.

When he t them in his fourth incarnation, they claid it was through them that Klaus gained the inspiration to create the Nine Paragon Guards.

Klaus looked at the nine most powerful people he had t, perhaps in all the nine lives he had lived, and all he could think about was why they were here now.

Most importantly, he wanted to know why he appeared in this place when he should have been sowhere akin to a newbie village, per what Icon said.

"Can we go inside and talk?" Klaus asked, and they nodded.

Soon, they entered the mansion. The exterior was amazing; however, the interior was out of this world. It was both elegant and breathtaking.

Klaus had to will himself to keep moving when they walked through the front door. Thankfully, having many minds did co in handy.

So he managed to walk calmly to a hall where a throne was waiting for him. It was breathtakingly beautiful, unlike anything he had ever seen before.

Klaus didn’t know why there was a throne, but he didn’t hesitate to sit on it. The feeling of a king looked good on him.

The mont he settled down, he observed the nine people he was both happy to see and a little nervous to learn why they were here.

Just like his soul bodies, each was from a different race; however, they were supportive and happy to see him again.

He quickly asked the questions that had been bothering him.

Ansel, a rather handso Ice Demon, answered...

"First of all, we are here because the master wants us here. I think by now the master has already beco aware of how his brain works and how intricate his planning and plotting were.

Initially, we only co to you when it is ti for you to enter reincarnation; however, you asked us to co here for reasons we do not know.

Of course, we didn’t object, since when it cos to you, every action has been thoroughly thought through before being implented.

You never make a decision without having a reason. Whatever you do or instruct us to do has its reason, and I believe this mont, too, was part of your many future plans that will pan out just as you designed them.

Also, as to why you are here, even though you are a different yet sa person, and also this happens to be your first ti entering the Dark Space, the answer is, you designed it this way."

Klaus raised his brow, a little intrigued, a bit puzzled.

The way Ansel spoke made him sense that sothing significant was about to happen.

"I designed what?"

The Nine Star Guards smiled, and Scarlet, a beautiful Vampire, answered,

"It seems Master still hasn’t recovered all of his mories as the Star Monarch. However, to answer the master’s question, he must know that all this, whatever this place is, was created by him.

In simple terms, the Dark Space was the Master’s creation, and we nine are the Supre Leaders of the Dark Space Company."

Klaus’s mind went blank, and in that mont, mories began to flood in.
