The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 1534: Reunion (2)

Meanwhile, as Klaus was reunited with his mother, Nari and her sisters found themselves in an equally unexpected reunion that day.

The three Calamities, sisters bound by fate to usher in the end of each era, were finally together again, a moment of profound emotion and beauty.

Since the Primordial Era, they had fulfilled their roles like creatures under a curse, inflicting immense suffering and destruction, earning them the enmity of all.

Yet, their encounter with the Star Monarch changed everything.

They became gentle beings, their latent potentials finally awakened.

Though the most powerful among them, the Phoenix Calamity, still exhibited occasional unpredictability, she no longer descended into rampages as she had in the past.

Today's reunion brought an overwhelming surge of joy, particularly for Nari. The three sisters were so overcome by emotion that they spent three long hours in each other's embrace, tears flowing freely.

Nari had regained all her memories, right up to the moment of her death. This awakening ignited her potential, and soon, her true strength would be restored.

"This is truly the most wonderful day of my life," exclaimed Ignitia, the Dragon Calamity, as she embraced Nari as if she weighed nothing.

Aleera, the Qilin Calamity, sat nearby, her face alight with a radiant smile that seemed to illuminate the entire area.

She was the calmest of the three sisters, often acting as the stabilizing force, even before they encountered the Star Monarch.

"You've become so much weaker now, Narisa," Ignitia remarked, then produced a spatial ring and presented it to Nari.

"The resources within are more than sufficient to carry you all the way to the Supreme Stage. We will also remain by your side and train you until you can defeat both of us, just as you did before."

Nari nodded, accepting the spatial ring from Ignitia. "My name is Nari now, and I have gained many sisters. A gift intended only for me won't suffice."

Ignitia glanced at Aleera, who offered a smiling nod. "Indeed. We possess ample wealth to procure anything they desire. All other resources we have now are dedicated to the Master."

"That's perfectly fine. Your presence here now means more than enough to me. With both of you here, no one will dare to bully Klaus again."

"Yes. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be reduced to ashes," Ignitia declared, her fists clenching.

"And I will turn them all into ice sculptures," Aleera vowed, unaware that similar reunions were unfolding elsewhere.

"Narisa... I mean, Nari, tell us everything that has transpired since your reincarnation. Don't omit any details, especially the part where you became Master's bed warmer."

"I am not his bed warmer. I am his true love," Nari pouted, but her two spirited sisters were intent on teasing her further.

"Of course. Go on, tell us everything."

Azai and Hunter found themselves in the royal gardens, catching up after years apart.

"So, you've become a Celestial now, have you?" Hunter inquired, looking at his elder brother, whom he favored above all his other siblings.

"Yes. I am now a Celestial. I departed for the Forbidden Universe five days after you left and returned 15,000 years ago as a Celestial."

"As expected of Big Brother. You spent merely 5,000 years there and achieved Celestial status, while some individuals remained for 100,000 years, and others perished there."

"There's no need for flattery, Hunter. What I wish to know is why you haven't ascended to godhood yet."

Hunter smiled and clenched his fist. "I was cursed to slumber for 20,000 years, Big Brother. I managed to leave a clone by Klaus's side shortly after his birth, but even that failed to sustain itself, so cultivation became the least of my concerns."

He sighed and relaxed his fist. "But that is all in the past. Now that I have returned, I require a few months to prepare before my ascension. I must attain sufficient strength to protect Klaus when he requires my aid."

"Well, you should. I have a premonition that in five years, you and he will face a perilous trial, so train with greater intensity. I have no other pressing matters, so I will remain close to ensure you don't falter."

"Even better," Hunter beamed. "How are Father and Mother?"

"Father remains a Supreme, refusing to ascend. He has stated he will take that step only upon your return. As for Mother, she has already reached the Peak of Celestialhood. These days, she occupies herself with playing video games and engaging in online battles."

"Classic Mother, her status as Queen never fails to surprise. But to think Father is still a Supreme. Perhaps he wishes for me to surpass him."

Azai chuckled. "I believe he anticipates you two venturing into the Forbidden Universe together."

"I don't believe that will be necessary. Klaus has already devised a method for us to ascend within this universe without incurring the heavens' displeasure."

"Is that so?" Azai expressed surprise, yet he trusted the speaker's words. For the present moment, he resolved to await Klaus's awakening, intending to fulfill his promise of transforming him into a True Asura.

"Brother Azai, please do not overthink it. He is a Paragon, a being capable of treading upon the heavens as if they were mere rugs. His capabilities far exceed your imagination," the other elucidated.

"Very well, I shall take your word for it," Azai conceded.

"Let us divert our conversation," Hunter suggested, steering the topic elsewhere. "How fare the others? Do they harbor lingering anger towards me for my unannounced departure?"

Azai chuckled, understanding that Hunter's inquiry was less about the well-being of his elder siblings and more about the extent of their vexation with him.

"Big Brother bears no ill will towards your departure. After all, he has finally attained his long-sought position as the Crown Prince. Furthermore, he has ascended to a high rank on the Ancient Celestial Chart, securing a place within the top ten, alongside Big Sister and Second Sister."

"The rest of us reside within the top one hundred. However, if there is anyone you should concern yourself with, it would be Third Sister. She continues to voice her complaints when bored. I've heard she even eliminated some warriors from the Heavens Court upon learning of what transpired with you. Therefore, you had best intensify your cultivation efforts; perhaps reach the Supreme Stage before you reunite with them."

"Big Sister Evelia perpetually finds fault with someone. It appears I must prepare myself thoroughly before facing her," Hunter mused.

Unbeknownst to Hunter, after an extended absence of over 300,000 years from their home, the five progeny of the Blood Demon King had collectively decided to return.

Even from the distant reaches of the Ancient Battlefield, they had witnessed the confrontation between their youngest brother and the forces of the Heavens Court. They recognized that a significant shift was imminent and felt compelled to participate in it.

Naturally, this development worked against Hunter's original plans, as his reunion with his siblings would now occur much sooner than anticipated.

Yet, who could truly be blamed? They were unwilling to remain away, safeguarding the universe, while the Heavens Court dared to dispatch warriors against their own kin.

Klaus, though perhaps unaware of it at this moment, had already instigated the very change he intended to champion in this lifetime. In the wake of recent events, a growing number of individuals had begun to perceive the truth.

They no longer wished to be misled, thus initiating a process of independent thought and self-awareness.
