The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse - Chapter 1136: The Awakening (40)
Chapter 1136: The Awakening (40)
Meanwhile, Asmodeus, who had just returned from the undead world, made his way toward the direction Klaus was facing off against the two Nirvana Stage warriors.
Just when he was 10 km away, a clone of Klaus appeared before him.
“Looks like things have turned upside down since I have been gone.”
“More or less… but as you can see, the devil is in the details.” The clone Klaus smiled despite his main body facing two warriors he had no business fighting.
Asmodeus smiled and looked in the direction Chaos was facing off against the Angel Lady.
“Who is the new guy?”
“His name is Chaos. He is a dragon, and he is from a different universe.”
“Do we know which universe he is from?” Asmodeus asked. He was already aware that there were other universes out there, so hearing Chaos was from a different universe wasn’t a shock to him.
“I don’t know yet… but if I am to guess, I would say he is from a Law Universe.”
“Ahhh, just like the Forsaken Universe, I suppose.”
“Similar, but not quite.” Klaus chuckled, recalling something that happened to him. “During my 4th incarnation, I met a collector from another universe. He was collecting spirit flame seeds, which he claimed were primordial flame seeds.
He bragged and said that back in his universe, the worlds are divided into seven levels. He said in order to maintain order, the laws have placed limits on the world, preventing those with higher cultivation stages from bullying mortals.
Looking at this guy now, I believe he is from a universe of the same structure.”
“Well, that collector sounds like a wuss. But why do you say that?”
Klaus smiled, watching Chaos run circles around the Angel Lady. “Watch how he is fighting. It is like he is checking to see if his attacks will deal some damage, almost like he is facing someone of this cultivation base for the first time.”
“Well, you are also facing them for the first time… in this life, at least.”
“I know, Asmodeus. But as someone who was able to cross over the universe with his weak cultivation base, who is to say he doesn’t have the means to cross over to a world housing immortals?
However, looking at him now, it is like he is measuring his punches.
Also, he seems to be studying the Angel Lady, too.
If I didn’t know better, I would say his main strength comes from close combat. Also, he seems to have a thing for bouncy chests…”
Asmodeus turned and looked at Klaus for a few seconds before a smirk appeared on his face.
“I hate how your brain works…”
Klaus merely smiled. “So how were things in the Undead World?”
“Very complex, but I succeeded in upgrading my class. I have already awakened our warriors and those of the enemy, which is allowing us to clear the battlefield much faster now. However, I still have to work on merging them if that is even possible, considering I am about to fight Monarchs.”
Klaus sighed. “If it will take too much time, then focus on taking care of the big battlefields. Then once that is taken care of, you can focus on the Monarchs.”
“You think they will be able to hold them back?” Asmodeus asked, watching Queenie and the rest holding back the Monarchs.
“Don’t underestimate them, Asmodeus. Queenie just needs some time and more blood, while Miriam is waiting for the moon. The moment the requirements are met for them, even Nirvana Stage warriors will have a hard time killing them.”
“I see. Then I suppose the main priority now is to make it rain blood.”
Klaus nodded. “The more blood, the better. As you can see, she is already in her element, and soon, she will go all Asura on everyone.”
“I will be sure to do that. However, I have a message for you.” Asmodeus smiled weakly, unsure if he should tell Klaus what he wanted to say since his return.
“Go ahead. Although I have dozens of minds, spending one on talking to you is already taxing. The earlier I return this mind back to the battle, the better for me…”
“I met the 14th Apostle in the Undead World.”
Klaus raised his brow, hearing something familiar.
“Did Yama send him?”
“You bet. The King of the Underworld, as usual, came with an offer he claimed you cannot reject.” Asmodeus grinned, knowing that if Klaus hates the heavens the most, the second person he hates is the Underworld King, Yama.
It wasn’t the kind of hate that would cause Klaus to attack him; it was the kind that would make Klaus take every opportunity he would get to screw the bastard over.
SCOFF
Klaus scoffed, recalling a memory from his 7th incarnation when he mistakenly found himself in the underworld. As a living being, going to the underworld is akin to casting your soul into eternal damnation.
However, Klaus had no plans of staying in the underworld forever, so he went to see the King of the Underworld, Yama.
A tall and pale dude, handsome but smug as always, and he loved to play games with everyone. He granted him an audience and gave him an offer he couldn’t reject.
“You know, the last time I met him, he made me participate in the Underworld League where I nearly died clashing with fiends of all shapes and sizes…
So pardon my smile because I have no plans on entertaining him ever again.”
Asmodeus laughed, recalling that fateful ordeal. Magnus (Klaus’s 7th incarnation) had been in the underworld for 200 years.
“Sorry to disappoint you, but he seems to have some information that you need, and then after the information, there is the offer.”
Klaus watched Asmodeus’s smile, and for a moment, he could tell the bastard was enjoying the moment.
“Tell me what he said.”
“He said, 20 years ago, an Angel General with 1,200 Angel warriors under his command went missing. His team searched for him for the past decade but couldn’t find a trace of him.
Naturally, they wouldn’t have to worry about a Nirvana Stage warrior. However, this particular one has an uncanny ability that allows him to open portals to anywhere he finds himself.”
Asmodeus paused and looked at the Angel man facing Klaus…
“I believe that is the bastard. However, here is where it gets better. According to Yama, there is a second unit of Angel warriors led by an Angel Archer who, from the very day she picked up the bow, never missed a shot.
Apparently, she leads the 67th-ranked Angel Army known as the Divine Cavalry. They number exactly 12,000, and well, she is the elder sister of this bastard, and guess what, she can tap into her brother’s portals.”
Klaus sighed, already pissed that the heavens chose to cheat this much… The moment the second portal opened, he knew the heavens had played one over him.
Now, he knew they just wanted him dead, and looking closely at the portals still open, he knew any moment from now, the reinforcements and the weapons the heavens wanted to use against him would arrive.
“What is the offer?”
Asmodeus smiled weakly, knowing his master had no choice but to play the game that the King of the Underworld wanted him to.
“According to Yama, some chains on the Chained Ones are loose, and he knew you had been trying hard to summon back your Chained Warriors.
He said if you agree to join the Underworld League again in 2,000 years, he might be able to waive a few limitations and send them much stronger than they would be if summoned using your soul.”
Asmodeus retrieved a small jade token with a skull on it and handed it to Klaus’s clone.
“All you have to do is break it, and he will grant your wish.” Asmodeus tapped Klaus on the shoulder and said in a serious tone, “I would focus on the present first before thinking about the future.”
With that, Asmodeus vanished back into the chaos to paint the battlefield red and perhaps golden.
