The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 1518: Sisters Reunited

To the ordinary world, the Elite Coffee Shop was merely one among countless places that offered coffee at any hour. It was perpetually open, and whether within the enigmatic Dark Space or the tangible reality, the coffee served was exceptionally good.

A great many people relished their coffee, and by extension, they held deep respect and admiration for the twin sisters who managed the establishment.

What remained unknown to most was that, approximately 600,000 years in the past, a pair of twins were brought into the world by a modest farmer. They elected to forsake the path their father envisioned for them, choosing instead to embark on a journey as warriors.

One twin embraced the art of the spear, while the other mastered the bow.

Initially, as beings from a planet where the pinnacle of existence was merely a Saint, their potential was not widely recognized. However, it soon became glaringly evident what extraordinary beings this humble world had produced.

With the twins forming an unbreakable bond, covering each other's vulnerabilities, they engaged in fiercely challenging battles. When their home planet faced peril, they stood as its defenders, expending every ounce of their power to safeguard all life within its borders.

The very day the World Awakening fell under the dominion of these two formidable sisters, new memories flooded their consciousness.

Within these recovered memories, the archer discovered a past existence where she was known as Makani, an extraordinarily potent archer whose arrows possessed the capability to traverse vast light-years, striking down her distant targets.

In this past life, she recalled having two sisters. One was named Seiki, characterized by her distinct lack of emotion, meaning she would voice her thoughts without reservation. Yet, her spear-wielding prowess was, in Makani's experience, unparalleled, second only to her own.

The other sister was a sharp-tongued lady named Kitty, whose sword was as keen as her biting wit. Makani had personally witnessed Seiki, on numerous occasions, inflict wounds upon gods with mere words, driving them to shed tears of pure rage.

Conversely, her twin sister also perceived her life as Seiki, a period where she experienced profound happiness, paradoxically, despite a fundamental inability to comprehend the very emotion itself.

Upon awakening that day, their cultivation bases, which had been at the zenith of the Nirvana Stage, surged dramatically, propelling them to the Immortal Lord Stage.

This astonishing advancement left many dumbfounded. Yet, they remained oblivious to the profound transformation that had occurred; the twins they recognized were no longer the same.

Their metamorphosis was instigated by a dark-haired man who had rescued all three of them, nurturing them as if they were his own siblings.

Their admiration, love, and reverence for him were so profound that they would readily undertake anything to ensure his contentment. Consequently, with their memories restored and their lives rekindled, they resolved to venture forth and seek their third sister.

Numerous years elapsed before they finally located her, only to be utterly astonished by what they discovered.

Despite their sister holding the fifth position on the esteemed Ancient Demigod Chart—a ranking of the most formidable warriors on the alien battlefields—she seemed to possess no recollection of them.

They made countless attempts to aid her in reclaiming her lost memories. However, every endeavor proved futile. Overwhelmed by despondency, they opted to maintain a degree of distance, focusing instead on enhancing their own strength.

They ultimately achieved the status of Supremes ten millennia ago. However, finding themselves unable to ascend to the Celestial realm within this particular universe, they decided to take up a new pursuit while awaiting the reincarnation of their cherished elder brother and beloved.

Furthermore, they affixed a message for their third sister, requesting that upon regaining her senses, she should make her way to their coffee shop.

***

A cascade of emotions flickered across Supreme Warrior Sayuri's gaze as she met the eyes of the barista, whom she recognized, despite a slightly altered appearance, as her Eldest Sister Makani.

Makani, now known by the name Xenia, offered a warm smile and stepped out from behind the counter. Spreading her arms wide, she beckoned Supreme Warrior Sayuri to embrace her.

The patrons present in the coffee shop observed the scene with heartwarming smiles as Supreme Warrior Sayuri joyfully leaped into Xenia's waiting arms.

For a fleeting moment, the atmosphere within the coffee shop was suffused with an palpable sense of love.

Many could discern that this reunion had been long in the making. Thus, as the two sisters held each other close, smiles adorned every face.

There existed no greater joy than that of sisters being reunited, even if it occurred within a virtual realm.

Abruptly, a door situated on the side of the shop swung open, and Xania emerged, her smile widening.

"Oh, it appears little Kitty has finally regained her awareness."

Though Xania had undergone rebirth, a true sense of emotions still eluded her.

Upon hearing her voice, Supreme Warrior Sayuri disengaged from Xenia's embrace and rushed into the arms of the emotionless lady. While Xania held a smile, she felt no genuine warmth from it.

She understood intellectually that she ought to be experiencing happiness, yet, despite her body's outward response, her heart remained unmoved. Nonetheless, the smile gracing her lips was sufficient to convey her inner state to all observers.

A few minutes later, the three ladies topped up everyone's coffee before withdrawing to a private room within the coffee shop.

"How have you been?" Xenia, Makani's current form, inquired.

"Never better," Sayuri replied. She paused, drawing a deep breath. "I remember everything now. I witnessed how it all concluded."

With another sigh escaping her lips, Sayuri, under the astonished gazes of the two ladies, dropped to her knees.

"I am sorry, Big Sisters. It was all my fault that led to your deaths. I am truly sorry."

Xenia reached out to grasp Sayuri’s hand, while Xania let out a smirk.

"To think I met my end by the very weapon I wielded. What a profound disgrace."

Seiki had met her end by her own weapon, her spear having been utilized by a Celestial to bring about her demise.

She patted Sayuri’s back reassuringly.

"Fear not. Your brother remains alive and is quite different now. I have a feeling he has recovered his memories and might even be a mole within the Heavens Court, planted by Lord Paragon himself."

Sayuri's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What do you mean?"

Xenia offered a gentle smile.

"Xania speaks the truth. Your brother has become incredibly terrifying, almost like an angel. He has somehow inherited or awakened an angel bloodline within him."

"But that is utterly impossible. The only way such a thing could occur is if someone aided him." Sayuri's eyes widened further.

"Now, I understand you have only recently recovered your memories, so allow me to illuminate the legend of the Paragon. After we perished, he reincarnated first as Magnus, the Paragon of War and a vampire.

Then he returned once more as Kaden, the Paragon of Elements, and finally, he reappeared as the Paragon of Beasts, celebrated as the Star Monarch.

Based on what we've managed to piece together, although he was a Beast Tamer, his blood possessed the ability to evolve even ordinary humans. This secret is known only to the Paragon’s innermost circle.

I believe he encountered your brother and managed to save him. We met him once, and he recognized us, which indicates that Lord Paragon's blood flows through him."

Sayuri nodded, a single tear tracing a path down her cheek. She yearned to inquire further about her brother, the very person she had desperately wanted to save, a choice that ultimately led to their deaths. Yet, she restrained herself.

"I met Lord Paragon," Sayuri stated, and the twins both nodded.

"We are aware. He recently pilfered a treasure from a burgeoning talent known as the Renegade Hunter. Just as expected of our Big Brother Orion." Xenia and her sister shared a knowing smile.

Sayuri narrowed her eyes at the twins, speaking with firm resolve.

"Uhm, you misunderstand, sisters. The Renegade Hunter... is Lord Paragon himself."

"WHAT?!"

Their faces contorted in sheer astonishment, and even Xania, who rarely displayed emotion, felt her heart quicken its pace.

Just as they were about to probe further, alarms began to blare from the outside. As Supremes, they possessed the ability to dispatch a fragment of their consciousness into the Dark Space while their physical bodies continued to function normally in the external world.

"What in the blazes is happening...?" Sayuri inquired as her island steadily ascended back to the surface.
