The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse - Chapter 1220: Creating a Scandal
Chapter 1220: Creating a Scandal
Klaus stood up and stretched before turning to the three people he had trapped in a mental illusion.
Although no new mind was formed when he broke through to the Empyrean stage, all 450 minds in his hivemind had become very powerful. Just one is enough to put two Empyrean and a Core Formation stage warrior to sleep.
Klaus had become that powerful, and right now, as he looked at the three people who tried to create a problem for him, he couldn’t help smiling evilly.
“Icon, what do you know about them?”
Icon, his paragon system is more than a super quantum computer, so knowing even the most hidden information about someone cannot be put past her.
⟪These three are from a planet ten light-years away. It is a planet called Verdantis. The people living there are a race of Natural Humans. They have a strong affinity for plants and nature, hence their name.
The Core Formation Verdantkin is the son of the ruler of that planet, a True Immortal called Lord Grayson. The two Empyreans are his guards who love to do all his dirty laundry.
Personally, killing them would be letting them off easy.⟫
Klaus grinned. Even Icon wanted him to torture them.
“In that case, how about I take their storage rings as compensation for nearly ruining my meal with the dangerous yet calm Maud?”
Klaus removed their storage rings and placed them in the system inventory that opened after Icon underwent a system upgrade during the breakthrough to the Empyrean stage.
Ten minutes later, Klaus walked out of the restaurant with a smile on his face. “Let’s go, Maud.”
Soon, the two were out of sight. It was after they were gone that the waiters and a couple of others who had decided to wait and watch as Klaus and Maud would die under the assault of the young master and his goons approached the restaurant.
What they saw left them all in shock.
Soon, images and videos started spreading on the Uniweb.
The arrogant son of a True Immortal had been humiliated to the point he would never show his face ever again.
Soon, the video reached Planet Verdantis.

[Planet Verdantis]
Planet Verdantis is mostly green. Plant life covers about 70% of the planet’s surface. This gave the planet that natural glow.
Of course, just as Earth has 70% water yet humans now live on and in the water, the Verdantkins live both on the land and in the forest.
Currently, inside a sleek mansion somewhere in the Verdant Great Forest, Lord Grayson held a glass screen showing a video of his son spanking his two guards while butt naked—all three of them.
The scene left his jaw hanging, anger burning in his green eyes.
Lord Grayson is a highly respected figure in the Griffin Planetary Alliance.
It is said that 1,200 years ago, during the world’s awakening, he personally led the charge against their attackers, and when things turned dire, he chose to burn his life force to win.
In the end, he burned too much to win, but that meant he would also die.
However, at the critical junction when all hope was lost, the power of faith took over, and the faith his people have in him took over and saved his skin.
Because of this, many see him as their god. However, his son wasn’t the flower everyone expected him to be. He is very arrogant and lustful.
One of his kinks is going after the women of others. Of course, when he is off his planet, he only dares to go after those he can suppress.
His father tried many times to keep him in line, but the bastard always seemed to find a way to create one scandal after another.
Among the many scandals his son had been in and will be in, spanking his guards while butt naked was the last thing he expected.
It is embarrassing, and on top of it all, very scandalous.
“SOMEBODY…”
Lord Grayson wasn’t even done when three Real Immortals appeared in the room. “Go bring the scum and lock him in the Thorn Prison.
No food or water should be provided to him for 300 years. If he dares to try to be stubborn, you have my permission to beat the life out of him.
His mother and siblings cannot visit him. Once his sentence is over, send him to Planet Graven to spend 200 more years learning how to behave like a dignified person.”
“As you command, my lord.” The three Real Immortals, who had long wanted to discipline this brat, were quick to get on the mission. This was their chance to get back at the bastard for the trouble he had put them through in the past.
After they were gone, Lord Grayson took a deep sigh and then tapped his armchair twice. His shadow swirled, and a hooded figure appeared.
He immediately went down on one knee to pay his respects.
This person was also a True Immortal, and from the look of things, he was even stronger than Lord Grayson.
“I will be troubling you, Caspian.”
“I am yours to command, Lord Grayson.”
Lord Grayson nodded and sighed. “Investigate the one behind what happened to Soren. I have a feeling someone powerful is behind it, and the last thing I want is to have trouble with someone who can create problems for this world.
However, if they can be killed, don’t hesitate.”
“I will get it done,” Caspian said and then vanished from sight. Lord Grayson watched the video one more time, frowning, and left the room to meditate.
He was planning to consume a treasure that would push him closer to the Immortal King stage. So the last thing he wanted was his son distracting him.

Somewhere on Planet Mechalon, Klaus and Maud were seated on a park bench, waiting for Eri to pick them up. He wants to go see if he can find something that will get him started on his journey.
Icon hovered on his shoulder, her tiny wings flapping behind her.
⟪Master, why didn’t you allow me to delete the footage from the security cameras?⟫
“Where is the fun in that, Icon? I want the people who would come looking to know who disciplined that scum.
After all, we want to test how strong I have become, right? So why not test it on Immortals or a bunch of Empyreans?”
⟪What if his father came? Can you fight a True Immortal?⟫
“No. But I can escape from one. I merely want to see if I can handle an Immortal. Of course, I don’t plan on killing anyone.”
⟪Your reasoning is not sound, but since you are okay with it, the least I can do is support you. I have access to the security system of this planet, so when it comes to it, I will just launch a few missiles to buy you some time to escape.⟫
“And that is why you are the best, Icon. Unlike Maud here, who hasn’t even said anything since we started this journey.”
Icon smiled, feeling happy that Klaus had praised her.
As for Maud, she turned and looked at Klaus for a few seconds before turning away.
Klaus just shook his head. Back when he was living inside her body, she was more talkative, but now she seemed detached from existence.
Of course, when she had something to say, she didn’t hesitate. But then again, all she ever says is important stuff. Still, there was no harm in staying quiet when nothing bothered her.
A couple more minutes passed. Thankfully, it didnt take long for Eri to arrive in a sleek-looking flying car.
“Where do you want to go?” she asked, pressing a button to open the doors for Klaus and Maud. It appeared only Klaus and Maud could see the adorable figure standing on Klaus’s shoulder.
“Take us to the Mission Hall…”
Eri raised her brow, but she nodded. Soon, they were gone.
A few minutes later, Caspian arrived on Planet Mechalon in an A-Class Spaceship.
