The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 1551: What happened

Efad took some time to catch his breath and rearrange his thoughts. He never expected he would last this long in the world where the second Void Gate was meant to have opened back during the Primordial Era.

However, he survived there for over 200,000 years.

The last time Klaus was there, he only saw up to the point where the five Celestial leaders concluded on a course of action. They planned to send some people out to seek help while also creating a gate to prevent the Void Gate from opening.

Their thoughts were simple: since they could not leave their world, they might as well use their lives to hold back the Void Gate from opening.

Inside the memories, they managed to send out 25 Demigods to go look for help, while the rest managed to create the Void Gate and lock the void as intended.

However, ten years after the void was sealed, the people began forming Void Cores, their nature turning into that of Void Beings.

Nobody understood what was happening until it was already too late. It turned out that something or someone behind the Void Gate was trying to create a deadly legion of Void Sentinels.

Their plan was never to invade this universe using the Void Gate, but rather to pollute these people and use them. They planned to open a much larger gate that would finally bring all of the void creatures into this universe.

However, they failed, and the backlash affected everyone.

The gate closed, but the planet was also sealed for good.

However, when the Void Gate closed, all five rulers received a revelation, one that, if they managed to get it out to the rest of the universe, the Void Race would be done for.

It was a revelation about something unique and very powerful: a treasure called the Void Mirror Stone. It is a triangular-shaped item said to hold the Dao of the Void.

Those in possession of it would have absolute control over the void and could also bestow Perfect Harmony Void affinity upon anyone.

The most chilling use, however, is the ability to take the void affinity of others. If the one in possession of this item wished, they could open the Void Gate, and with enough resistance, they could take the power of the void from the Void Beings and bestow it upon their own legion.

The Void Beings were after that item, and by sealing the Void gate, the treasure was locked out of their reach. However, the five races that came together to lock the void away could not possess it either.

However, they also couldn’t sit idly by and let such a treasure go unnoticed. So they made one last desperate move. They sealed the Void Mirror Stone inside the Son of one of the kings and sent him out by virtually burning their own Void Cores.

They succeeded in sending him out, but they discovered that the first 25 they had sent hadn’t reached him. Instead, they had become conduits that kept channeling void essence into the voids surrounding Planet Yggmak.

This discovery was all they needed to know they had been doomed for good. No help was coming, and there was absolutely no way they could endure the passing years, especially as their people grew ever stronger and more polluted by the day.

If their growth continued, they would become monsters that would one day become the sharpest void weapons the Void Beings would use against this universe.

So, to make sure they didn’t become the savages they were meant to be, the wisest among them proposed a risky move.

King Velarion, the king of the Nihorathians, proposed that they send out the fate of their world and let the fate key find a worthy leader.

With someone worthy to wield their fate, they could become his deadliest warriors.

So they did, and since then, they have become fateless.

Efad saw them continue to grow, but without fate, they remained a race of useless beings. Until the day someone found their fate and unlocked it, they would just remain a race of millions of Celestials, Supremes, and gods with no purpose.

The quest Klaus received was from them. His mission was to clear all 12 Void Vortexes, which would help him push his void affinity to the Perfect Harmony stage.

Also, by clearing all 12 Void Vortexes, he would obtain the fate key, since each Void Vortex awarded him with a Void Key.

That key would lead him to the Void Mirror Stone, which, the moment he made it his own, would grant him the power to command the entirety of Planet Yggmak.

"My mission, luckily for me, involves only Demigod-level Void Beings. However, I must be careful since Void Qi is one tricky energy to navigate." Efad smiled, feeling his void affinity now brimming with power.

He was asleep when Atomic awakened, so this was his first time experiencing the changes it had brought him.

"If I can get the Key of Fate and become the master of Yggmak, then with Queenie almost ready to free the Asura, defeating the foreign races and even the Void Beings that would soon return won’t be an issue.

"My problem now is what the Heavens Court is planning. Those bastards clearly are up to something." Efad smirked and stood up.

"In the face of absolute strength, all schemes are useless," he laughed and resolved himself on his next course of action.

"Since I would naturally become the owner of the Void Mirror Stone, then the two Void Vortexes I have already cleared are of no use to anyone."

He willed it, and Atomic and Icon appeared beside him.

"Master, how was your sleep?" Icon asked, scanning Efad’s body for any flaws she could fix.

"Never better, Icon. I now know what I came here for. That said, I called you two here to make use of the Void Essence here." Efad laughed and turned to Atomic. "With the energy from the two vortexes, how many of my wives can you help?"

Atomic studied the content of the Void Essence in the air for a few seconds and smiled.

"I can help 20 of them become Supremes. But sensing the potency of the remaining 10 vortexes, adding more to it wouldn’t be impossible as long as you can clear the remaining Void Vortexes within the next few months.

"If you can handle it, then I can make everyone Supreme and even produce a few more Celestials."

"Very well, I will do my best to handle everything in less than five months. By then, I will also be ready to become a Demigod."

With the cultivation technique in his possession, Klaus could become a god in ten different ways. He planned to first let the Paragon’s body become a god. This was because he had no intention of wasting time when three universe-ending catastrophes were on the way.

Becoming a god was of utmost importance to him.

So he would allow his incarnations to become gods, each forming different laws and domains. Most importantly, he would finally be able to awaken all nine Paragon Stars.

Then, when all of them managed to successfully reach godhood, his main body would also ascend, finally awakening the Primal Bloodline that would unleash his true power as a paragon.

’I hope by then, I will know why I was brought to this universe,’ Klaus sighed.

A few hours after his awakening, his other incarnation had finally reached the Devil’s Maw. It was finally time for that incarnation to also make a name for himself.
