The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 1503: The Expose (2)

"I could hear your gasps, and honestly, it's quite understandable. None of us anticipated an involvement from the esteemed Aric. As the guardian of the Holy Life Temple, one wouldn't expect him to resort to hiring assassins."

"Yet, the evidence strongly suggests his complicity, orchestrated by his master, the Black Feather Supreme. From what I gather, this wasn't an isolated incident; he's allegedly ordered massacres before to conceal the mistakes and transgressions of the Heavens Court."

Paragon extended two fingers'

"Secondly, the Heavens Court has, in the past, led two legions of human warriors to their doom. They falsely accused me of ordering the attack on the Jade Ant Queen, but the reality is they attempted to eliminate her twice before, and both attempts failed catastrophically."

"I'm privy to this because that fool styling himself the Celestial Supreme played a role. He fancies himself wise, yet I physically assaulted him years ago."

"You see, at that time, I had compelling reasons to believe the Jade Ant Queen was in peril. My intention was to safeguard her by having her become my contracted beast."

"Let's just say her pride prevented her from accepting my proposal. However, this did not deter me, as I ensured she was aware of the impending danger."

"Consequently, when the Heavens Court dispatched their first contingent of Heaven Warriors to capture or kill her, she was fully prepared."

"After their annihilation, they couldn't let it go and deployed a second legion. They too met defeat, with only 1,200 surviving. Here is the proof:"

A video materialized, showcasing corrupted warriors adorned in purple armor bearing the Heavens Warrior insignia.

The footage depicted their emergence from the broken seal and their advance towards the Jade Nest. It captured the initial assault by the beasts, culminating in Asmodeus's timely intervention.

"As you can plainly see, they were deeply entangled in every nefarious act. The Jade Ant Queen, who had previously aided humanity against numerous beast tides, was brutally slain for refusing to align with the Heavens Court."

"And a million years later, upon her rebirth, they attempted the same foul deed. While this might seem circumstantial, allow me to present Exhibit Three."

The screen transitioned to footage of the Qilin Mercenary Team entering the Nest. The video focused on their difficult journey until they reached the Jade Vault, then shifted to the woman responsible for their teleportation via the gateway.

Within the video, a conversation unfolded between the woman and a man.

"My lord, I have successfully transported all mercenaries into the Jade Nest. In a few days, every human and beast will be eliminated."

"Excellent. Ensure their mission's success. As you know, failure is simply not an option when dealing with those peculiar individuals from the Heavens Court."

"I shall give it my utmost, my lord. Regarding the two who constructed the gateway, what are your instructions?" the woman inquired.

The man paused briefly before responding, "Eliminate them. Our employers abhor loose ends."

The screen changed again, showing the woman contacting the same man. This time, her call was to report the Qilin Mercenary Team's failure.

Once the videos concluded, Paragon resumed speaking...

"I trust you have now witnessed the true nature of those you've blindly followed for years. My prior attempts to expose them were thwarted, as they always seemed to be one step ahead."

"Now, I am leaps and bounds ahead, so I shall conclude this presentation for the moment. More evidence will follow, demonstrating why the Heavens Court cannot be trusted."

"Most crucially, I will reveal the monstrous reality behind the Heavens Court's inner circle." Paragon took a deliberate, deep breath.

"I am not suggesting universal condemnation; exceptions exist within their ranks. I have allies there, good people, which is why I never sought to annihilate the Heavens Court entirely."

"However, we both understand that in the eternal struggle between good and evil, the latter often prevails. Therefore, I am issuing this warning: one day, I will purge the corrupt elements and expose them all."

"Naturally, until the Heavens Court ceases its defamatory campaign against me, I will not rest. I will ensure every living soul becomes aware of the putrid secrets festering within your organization."

"I now possess the Jade Ant Queen, and I shall guide her growth into a remarkable individual. Should she ever desire it, I will assist her in seeking retribution against you vermin."

Paragon let out a sigh before finalizing his address.

"I will be forwarding this evidence to the media and the relevant authorities. My request is simple: grant justice to the innocent lives whose blood has been unjustly shed by the Heavens Court and its confederates throughout the years."

With that understood, this matter now falls to the Renegade Hunter. Know that my expectations for you are high, so mature, and perhaps one day, you might become a worthy opponent. Until then, I thank you all for tuning into my broadcast."

The screens reverted to their normal display.

Nevertheless, a great number were left in stunned silence, with some even trembling uncontrollably. The fury surging within them was so intense they could barely remain upright.

A few minutes following the broadcast, several formidable figures began demanding retribution. The Supremes and even a select few Celestials publicly denounced the Heavens Court for their heinous acts.

It is widely acknowledged that numerous detractors will seize this opportunity revealed by the exposé to oppose the Heavens Court. After all, the evidence presented against them appears to be undeniable.

Therefore, proving their innocence is an impossible task.

At the very least, they might try to sacrifice a few individuals and hope the public outcry subsides swiftly.

One thing, however, remains absolutely certain: the Heavens Court will never be the same after today. The exposé stripped away their facade, revealing their malevolent nature.

They will need to initiate a significant campaign to manage the aftermath.

Meanwhile, the public perception of the Paragon began to shift. He was no longer perceived as the threat they had all believed him to be. In fact, the falsehoods they had been fed previously started to unravel, ensuring that the truth would eventually surface.

In essence, Klaus’s public image began to improve, and this entire exposé was the catalyst.

His name was now on everyone’s lips, and even the heavens seemed to be losing their grip on whom they could punish for uttering his name.

Seated in his place, Lord Victor observed Klaus’s composed demeanor, and a saying from his grandfather echoed in his mind.

"Remember this, Victor. Should you ever encounter the Paragon, regardless of his current strength, never underestimate him. His adversaries are beings of a caliber you and I cannot comprehend."

---

Gazing at Klaus now, he understood the veracity of his grandpa’s words.

’Well, grandpa, it seems even you failed to grasp his true nature. In my eyes, he is the ultimate monster of them all.’

A sigh escaped his lips as he turned to his daughter, who was resting her head on Klaus’s shoulder. A smile touched his lips, a sense of pride blooming as he watched her.

A few moments later, a Blue Jade planet materialized several million kilometers away from their current location.
