The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

[Earth – Day Light Cemetery]

Just when everything seemed to be going bad and started drawing much attention, the stormy cloud vanished, and the hateful aura around Klaus vanished with it.

In its place, an aura of sadness overwhelmed Klaus, affecting the ladies around him.

Klaus opened his eyes, and tears started falling down his cheeks.

Watching Yuying’s smile, though it was lighthearted and cute, he saw the pain hidden within, and that alone broke him.

Right now, Klaus could only start to think about how much pain she had to endure just to come help him, and the pain she must be in by now for doing that.

“Oh, Yuying, why do you always have to go the extra mile?” Klaus sighed and then wiped his eyes before turning to Asha, whom he had come to help in the first place.

However, when he saw that he was surrounded by every last lady he had come on vacation with, even Nadia, who was there instead of with her mother, Klaus knew he had some explanations to make.

He had worried them, and as he looked into their eyes, he could tell they were concerned about him.

Klaus sighed again and turned to Lulu instead. “Do you know a nice ice cream shop in the city? I think we should chat over some ice cream.”

The ladies were a little taken aback by the sudden suggestion, but soon, they were seated in a VIP room of one of the biggest ice cream shops in Arcadian City.

Klaus had a big bowl of ice cream in front of him. The ladies also had their own, but in small cups. Klaus didn’t mind having the big one.

After eating for a while, he looked at everyone and smiled.

“First of all, sorry for making you worry. I never meant to cause such a blunder, but I guess I could have done a better job controlling my emotions. Of course, that is no excuse for making you all worry. I am sorry for that.”

“You don’t have to apologize for anything, Klaus. You are human; you are allowed to have emotions, so don’t apologize,” Lunara said, smiling at him.

Klaus smiled and turned to Asha. Seeing her smile, Klaus felt a little better.

I will talk to her later and make sure she is truly fine. Now, however, I need to make them aware of who I am and what it means to have a relationship with me. There will be karma involved, but I can handle it.’

Klaus made up his mind, and so he started to tell them a part of who he is, while piling up the karma.

“I know you all are wondering what went wrong. The answer is that the heavens tried to kill me, and they used my anger to nearly do that.”

“Why do they want to kill you?” Lucy asked.

“Because I am a paragon.”

“What or who is a paragon?” Anna also asked.

Klaus sighed, knowing he had to be careful with what he said, or else his next tribulation would be his last.

However, if he held back too much from his ladies, the next time, they might get hurt. He didn’t want to give in to his anger just yet, and he most certainly wouldn’t want to hurt them.

“A paragon is someone who doesn’t follow the rules of the universe. In this universe, the heavens regulate everything. They have rules that must be followed in order to maintain what they call balance.

But that is just bullshit. To them, this power they have is a way of controlling everything and everyone. They hold this power to dictate every single thing that happens in this universe and under the heavens.

And naturally, they, in a way, maintain the status quo of this universe. However, I am someone who lives outside these rules.

I lived outside them in many lives, and I am living outside them now.

Unfortunately, although I didn’t hate them from the start, knowing I couldn’t be controlled, they chose me as their enemy and would do anything to end my existence.

They made me public enemy number one and hunted me down many times—I can’t count. They went to great lengths—I can’t even begin to say—just to destroy me.

However, I also can’t let them bring me down, so I always fight back, and it has been so for the past billions of years, perhaps more.

Now, the reason I’m telling you this is that all of you here are important people to me. I believe that at one point in my many lives, we were lovers or perhaps close.

This means that while the whole universe hates me, you all here have never done so. You loved me for who I am and what I stand for, and that’s why we’re here today.

But that is the reason why they will use you to destroy me. Of course, they can’t turn you against me — that is impossible — but they can use you to make me destroy myself.

They killed Asha’s parents just to make me angry, and as a paragon, my own weakness is my hatred. I can’t become angry, for that is the only trap they have that can catch me.

This time, they made sure I felt the pain, and that nearly destroyed me and everyone in my life.” Klaus turned back to Asha, who was seated beside him.

“I am sorry, Asha. Your parents shouldn’t have died. However, because of your relationship with me, even when you didn’t know me, the heavens did, and so they used you to get to me.

It was my fault your parents died, and for that, I am sorry.”

Klaus wanted to drop to his knees, but Asha didn’t allow him. With tears in her eyes, she held him.

“It is not your fault, Klaus. You couldn’t have predicted they would do something like that. But even if you did, when my parents died, you weren’t even an awakened warrior. You couldn’t have done anything to save them.

So don’t beat yourself up. You are my husband, and while the heavens took a part of me away, you managed to fill that hole.

That said, I will become stronger, so strong that I will protect you from the heavens the next time they try anything silly.”

A smile appeared on her face, causing Klaus to smile as well.

“I am happy to hear you say that, for while I may be the strongest person in the world, I need help. I thought I could do it on my own, but today I realized I can’t. I need help, so hearing you say that makes me very happy.”

Asha smiled. “It isn’t just me. All my sisters here and those soon to be discovered will make sure we protect you. We want to protect you, so don’t worry too much. Don’t put all the load on your shoulders; we can help you carry some.”

The ladies nodded, all of them smiling.

Previously, some of them had felt shy and uncertain about everything; now, after hearing all that Klaus had to say, they wanted more than anything to become his and help him carry his troubles.

“By the way, who is Yuying?” Queenie asked, and Klaus smiled.
