The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse - Chapter 1154: Second Chance
Chapter 1154: Second Chance
Klaus lay broken in his mom’s arms, some of his wives standing around, tears falling down their faces…
This wasn’t how things were supposed to go.
This wasn’t how the battle should end. Yet here they are, watching as the one person they all love now lies broken, his fate sealed.
The heavens have won, and it has become clear now that Klaus, after everything he had done, still failed to save the one life that mattered—his own life.
Danny is missing.
Jane has been struck by a powerful mind attack, leaving her mind broken, unsure if she will ever get better.
Daniel and Miguel are both unconscious after using their lives to save Miriam from a palm attack.
The five monarchs, Nyxthar, Skar, Eryx, and Alesi, were also unconscious, their lives hanging by a thread after they did everything in their power to prevent the heavens from succeeding.
As for Killian, his body has been destroyed, leaving only his Soul Spirit.
Vida’s stronghold is also hanging on by a thread.
Queenie’s body is still warm, but there is no life in her.
Miriam is unconscious but still alive. Her sister Tifa, however, has grown cold, her life fading away.
Nari is still conscious, and so are some of her sisters.
As for Chaos, now that he had turned back into his human form, his injuries could be seen. However, under Elaine’s healing spells and his own healing abilities, he has been healed.
CRACK
Suddenly, the void opened again, causing everyone to go into combat mode. However, the next second, they were all left stunned when ten people bound in chains came slamming down on the ground.
Vexthra, Chaos’s first wife, walked out holding a sword dyed with blood, a cold look on her face. When her eyes landed on her man, she rushed to his side, hands trembling.
However, Chaos assured her that he was okay and that she should check on Paragon instead.
Vexthra obeyed and moved to Klaus’s side.
When her eyes landed on Klaus’s mom, a look of surprise appeared on her face, but she suppressed it and placed her hand on Klaus’s forehead.
“Please, can you save my son?” Klaus’s mom asked, her tears flowing like a dam.
Vexthra remained quiet for a couple of seconds before a sigh escaped her lips. “His body and soul are too damaged. However, he seems to have a strong will to live… That is the only thing keeping him alive, and the fact that his connection to his wives also seems to be keeping him rooted to the land of the living.
I can strengthen that connection and help pull him back to the living; however, if he pulls through, he will never be the same again. At best, he can talk, but he can’t walk or cultivate ever again”.
The tears in Klaus’s mom’s eyes were just too heartbreaking to look at.
“Exchange our lives. I know you are a god, and I also know there is a spell called Second Chance that can exchange lives. Exchange our lives, please. He is my only son, and I cannot watch him suffer knowing I was powerless to do anything.”
Vexthra looked at Klaus’s mom for a few seconds before another sigh escaped.
She opened her mouth to tell the poor woman she wasn’t from the universe, and that she knew no such spell that could exchange lives; however, Chaos tapped her on the shoulder, causing her to hold back her words.
“Hi, I am Chaos, best friend of your son, soon to be sworn brothers. Did you just say Second Chance is a spell that can save him?” Chaos asked with a smile, and the woman nodded.
“Yes. I am the Princess of the Death Angels Race. I have been around gods all my life, and I have seen them do the impossible. My mother once performed a Second Chance spell, and it worked.”
“I see,” Chaos turned and looked at the ten gods Vexthra had bound in the chaos of hatred and resentment.
“I hate it when a mother has to give her life for her son’s sake. No matter what happens, the son will be depressed for life.”
Chaos sighed, recalling how his own mother gave her everything to ensure he was happy. In the end, his mom died, and he was depressed for a very long time, so he wouldn’t want the same thing for Klaus.
Klaus might be saved using his mom’s life, but Chaos knew if Klaus found out how he was saved, he would hate himself for a very long time.
So, looking at the ten chained gods, his fury burst.
“Vexthra, dear, extract their blood essence,” Chaos said, not wanting to waste precious treasure.
“Already done that.”
“Oh, that is one month for you,” Chaos said with a small laugh, using the moment to make the poor mother lighten up a bit.
He looked toward another one of his wives. “Alina, dear, create the healing formation we talked about. Link all his wives together and connect the formation to these three gods.
They don’t have their blood essence, so they are as good as dead.”
“On it.” Alina, knowing how urgent the situation was, went into overdrive and started drawing the runes.
If there is one thing Chaos is good at, it is his resourcefulness. He has the resources that, if Paragon did, he would overthrow the heavens in mere days.
“Gaia, Dori, Akira, time to get to work.” Chaos retrieved a talisman and channeled his energy into it. In an instant, the heavens turned dark, clearly furious about what was about to happen.
Chaos looked up and smirked. “Vex, you have my permission to kill whoever comes down from the cloud.”
“I will.”
Vexthra was clearly angry, so she wanted to teach the heavens what it means to be a god.
Three small ladies appeared beside Chaos and formed a hand seal together, manifesting a formation.
“Akira, do the thing the moment I make my move.” Akira nodded, and when Chaos waved his hand, the souls of the seven gods came out virtually effortlessly. They couldn’t even resist…
“Since you choose to interfere with the affairs of mortals, even going as far as hurting my best friend and brother, I, Chaos, will use your pitiful and useless lives to save his.
One day, if you reincarnate, be sure to live a good life.”
With a hand seal sealing their fate, the seven god souls could only scream in agony as their souls were consumed by the formation.
The energy from their sacrifice began to enter Klaus’s body…
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE
The heavens’ fury grew even more as they watched seven of their own become the reason their enemy would get a second chance at life.
“Don’t worry, they are here for me,” Klaus’s mom said, not even minding them. She held her son in her arms, not even caring about the danger coming for her.
Seven hours later, the process ended. However, Klaus remained unconscious. Vexthra confirmed he would be fine, but she couldn’t tell when he would wake up.
But at least both Klaus and his wives were out of harm’s way. The only thing left now was for them to wake up.
Of course, a few minutes after the process ended, Chaos’s time to leave also came. Thankfully, Princess Eshira was still conscious, so she helped Chaos leave a message.
Soon, he was gone with his wife and legion.
An hour after she left, Klaus’s mom looked up at the teeming clouds and sighed.
She knew she had to leave, too.
