The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 967: Goodbyes

The spaceship landed on the red planet, Mars, ending the dust flying into the air.

Klaus and King Atlan stepped out.

"This place never gets old," King Atlan said, looking around. "Looks like you have already discovered the minerals here, my Lord."

Klaus nodded. "I will be using them for weapons for the upcoming awakening."

King Atlan nodded. "Knowing you, I should pity the heavens."

They both laughed.

Klaus was happy to be talking to soone from his past. He was always this happy when talking with the doom guards. They always knew sothing to say from his past life, just to cheer him up, or when Klaus was planning sothing.

At most, they always said the good things, which, to Klaus, was enough to tell him he was happy, like he knew he was back in his 4th incarnation.

The only thing he missed sotis was the fact that he hadn’t done anything yet that he could say would be forever rembered in the years to co.

Of course, he had created an army of dangerous humans and beasts, but he hadn’t done sothing impressive yet.

Perhaps this was what they called an inferiority complex, because to Klaus, his first incarnation had created the Asura race, the strongest race to have ever walked the face of the universe.

That was an impressive feat.

He knew that, and even the heavens acknowledged the Asura race as dangerous.

Then, from what he knew, his 7th incarnation was able to make the heavens cry blood. He had already t Magnus and saw firsthand the kind of person he was.

Then there was his 8th incarnation, who defied the heavens and thwarted their plan that had been in motion for billions of years.

Then ca Efad, who wielded the Star Monarch Bloodline and had created thousands of Supre Beasts, each a power to have on the battlefield.

All he had done so far was ride on the fa of his past incarnations.

Klaus wanted to do sothing impressive, and so hearing all about his past was making him start to see that there was sothing different he could do, and as soone who wanted to defeat the heavens this ti, he was already making plans, and he knew one of these days his plans would bear fruit.

But for now, he could only listen to his impressive past.

"So, what was my na back when I made you my subordinate?" Klaus asked, and King Atlan smiled.

"They called you the Star Monarch. So also called you the Overlord of Beasts. But your known title was Paragon of Beasts and Monsters.

You were loved by all monsters and beasts."

"I see. I suppose that only makes sense since my bloodline was made to help beasts reach the best versions of themselves."

King Atlan nodded.

"The lord also has to know that one of these days, when you appear in the beast universe, they will all take you as their leader. However, the lord must also know that not all beasts will take kindly to you.

After all, you are a paragon."

"Let’s not think that far. For now, just tell all there is to know before you leave."

They found a place and sat down.

Hours later, King Atlan had exhausted all he had to say, so it was ti for him to leave.

"The thod is simple. Instead of dying and allowing my soul to drift into the unknown, I will grant my lord access to my soul so you can absorb my soul energy.

It should be enough to give you the push you need to break through and even improve your soul to so degree.

And my lord, you shouldn’t worry. This soul is just a secondary one, so I won’t be affected in my true body."

"I will be sure to reward you one of these days," Klaus said, knowing this was indeed the fastest way for him to break through.

King Atlan sat down and gestured for Klaus to do the sa. He did, and soon they were facing each other.

"I will start now." King Atlan ford a hand seal, and a diagram appeared on the ground. The mont it appeared, Klaus felt his soul form a connection to a much more powerful one.

"This—" Inside Klaus’s soul sea, the nine doors glowed, and then a projection of stars appeared in them. On Klaus’s back, too, all nine star tattoos lit up, making him feel nine connections ford.

"I am a domain stage cultivator, but my soul is actually much stronger than that, so this will take at least an hour or more." King Atlan ford another seal.

This ti, Klaus felt a foreign energy start entering his body.

All of a sudden, his strength surged.

"Looks like it will end much faster than I expected," King Atlan smiled. Klaus’s absorption rate is much faster than that of ordinary folk.

With just a few minutes, King Atlan started to fade...

"Looks like I will be gone soon enough. But don’t worry, my lord, the heavens will do what they can to make you give up, but if you manage to overco them, your legacy will beco one they will fear yet again."

A smile appeared on his face.

"If you don’t make it to the universe 10 years from now, I will co looking for you. That said, you must rember this. The heavens will play dirty, so don’t hesitate to make them wish they never t you."

"I will take that to heart, King Atlan. That said, I will co to you in less than five years, so prepare a good buffet for . I am a heavy eater, you see."

"I will be sure to welco the lord with open arms. Until then, see you later, Lord Paragon." With a smile on his face, the last of his energy was absorbed by Klaus.

"See you later, King Atlan." The heavens shuddered, and the clouds started forming, signaling the arrival of the heavenly tribulation.

Klaus looked up and smirked. "Looks like they brought the big guns this ti."

[Sea Universe - Planet Atlantis - Thal’Aquor - Grand Immortal Cave]

Planet Atlantis is a water planet, with 90% of its surface covered by water. Thal’Aquor is their capital city and ho to Sea Beasts and sea humans.

The 10% land is where trade happens, and most sea people who choose to live on land reside there.

Deep under the ocean, inside a lush palace where even the guards are early-stage immortals, alarms started blaring, causing more immortals and even demigods to rush toward the location of the alarm.

BOOM

A sudden explosion of energy blasted out of an immortal cave, causing everyone to halt. Standing at the front was a demigod who looked human but was perfectly breathing in the water, showing he was also an Atlantean.

Behind him were thousands of warriors, each ready for battle.

Suddenly, King Atlan, clad in a royal robe, walked out of the cave exuding the aura of royalty.

Every last general went down on their knees when they saw him.

"Long live the King, Master of the Ocean," they chanted, filling the sea with energy. King Atlan, who had regressed to the Early Immortal stage, nodded with a smile.

"Glad to see you all again." He was indeed happy to be back.

"Send orders to all sea kingdoms in the Aqua Star system. They are to convene here a year from today for an urgent eting."

With nothing else, he walked back to his cave. The soldiers began sending ssages as the demigod moved into the immortal cave to have a talk with King Atlan.
