The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 1633: Biggest Reveal
Previously on The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse...
[Three Days Before Everything Happened]
Klaus sat inside his spaceship, speeding toward Primus-IV, where he would be transported to Planet Primus Prime, where the Celestial Supreme was waiting for him.
He had already informed his wives that he had been summoned by his number one enemy. Along the way, he ran some numbers and realised that if what he planned to do succeeded, he would become the universe’s most talked-about man.
After all, he planned on exposing the Celestial Supreme and the entire Heavens Court. That would put him on the radar of some very powerful people.
So he crunched the numbers and decided to consider two paths.
First, he could continue living the lie he had already told the universe. After all, Klaus Hanson was the Renegade Hunter to the rest of the universe, while he himself was the Paragon.
His Paragon incarnation had taken the spotlight, but because nobody knew what he looked like behind the mask, no one could say they knew him personally.
So maintaining that facade was also an option.
Second, since he planned on exposing the Celestial Supreme as the most horrible person in the universe, he knew he had to be truthful with everyone. That meant revealing his identity as the Paragon, something he had planned to do eventually.
At first, he had intended to reveal his true identity when he set out to become a god, knowing he would inevitably be exposed during the ascension tribulation.
But things were different now since he had achieved Tribulation Immunity.
He wouldn’t be exposed this time around, meaning he could continue living the lie, which wasn’t technically a lie, considering Orion was one of his many incarnations.
However, deep down, he knew he would eventually have to become the Paragon and take responsibility for the mess he was about to create.
He couldn’t consult his incarnations since they would all support him becoming the Paragon, so he turned to his wives, who were nearing the Beast Universe, and revealed his options to them.
"I think becoming the Paragon would be good. After all, you said your mission at the academy was to get close to the Celestial Supreme and figure out what is rotten in the universe.
"You have gotten your invitation, and knowing you, I am sure you won’t fail to get what you want. So put yourself out there and make sure the universe understands what the Paragon is capable of," Lucy advised.
She was the most critical thinker in the harem, so her words carried weight.
Hearing her words, her sisters nodded, and Lunara, the Mother of Flames, added, "Lucy is right, Klaus. You and the heavens are no longer friends. However, from what you have told us, they summoned you to this universe, so do what they brought you here to do.
"You are the Paragon, so hiding behind a false identity doesn’t sound like you at all. Better to become the real you than to keep living a lie you created for yourself."
"Plus, wouldn’t it be cool to make sure the universe finally understands what the Paragon is capable of, even before he becomes a god?" Asha added, and Klaus smiled.
"I guess you ladies all want me to become the Paragon, huh?" Klaus chuckled and sighed. "Very well. If I get the proof I need, then I will finally become the Paragon and begin planning for the battles to come."
They all cheered since, selfishly, the moment he became the Paragon, they could openly be seen with him by the rest of the universe as his wives.
They had held back for a while since he had chosen to live behind a false identity. But now, he would become the Paragon everyone seemed to be paying attention to these days.
Klaus informed his legion and the other concerned parties with whom he had finally reunited after millions of years apart. After that, he instructed Runner to kidnap two people and bring them to Planet Caelmir.
They were, of course, Supreme Engineer Winnie and the sweet Eiko, his disciple. Klaus knew his revelation would prompt the Heavens Court to make its move, and the last thing he wanted was for them to take Lady Winnie and Eiko hostage.
Honestly, he didn’t want the Heavens Court to get their hands on anyone, so he made sure everyone with whom he had some kind of relationship was protected.
After informing everyone, he finally dialled the Burning Angel’s number. After a few rings, the call was answered, revealing his projection and that of Lord Victor, his disciple.
"Big Brother, I am on my way to visit the Celestial Supreme, who I believe is planning to sacrifice my body to whoever has been controlling the Heavenly Dao since the Blood Era."
The Burning Angel furrowed his brow and asked, "Do you need backup?"
Klaus shook his head.
"No need, Big Brother. I alone am enough to handle that loser. However, after this visit, I will reveal everything I have gathered over the years and finally ensure the universe understands the danger it faces.
"This will make the Heavens Court very angry, and some of them will declare war on me. So make sure the Warrior Temple doesn’t stand in my way when that time comes.
"I share a past with the Genesis Flame Queen, so she will back you up. But for now, make sure they think logically after I reveal everything the universe needs to know."
"Fear not, Klaus. I will make sure they don’t mess around." His eyes narrowed. "Whoever dares to go against you will burn like a bug."
Klaus simply laughed, greeted Lord Victor, hung up, and took a deep breath. He had already informed his parents and grandparents, so he was ready to face the danger he had been preparing for across many incarnations.
In a few days’ time, he would finally have his answers and accomplish what he had never had the chance to do through seven entire incarnations: get the universe on his side.

[Three Hours after Axarax’s Descent]
Life was going on as usual throughout the universe when, suddenly, every display screen was hijacked by the Paragon. His trademark, a star surrounded by nine other stars, appeared on every screen alongside a five-minute countdown.
The entire universe paused whatever they were doing and waited.
Five minutes later, the masked figure whom everyone recognised as the Paragon appeared on their screens.
"Good day, everyone. I am the Paragon, and today, I will finally reveal the evil the Heavens Court, led by the Celestial Supreme, has been committing since the Primordial Era. I will also share what they have done and what they plan to do in the coming years.
"Finally, I will reveal the true danger hanging over our heads and explain why we must come together to stop it. Otherwise, we will all die, and when I say all, I mean every last one of you."
He paused, perhaps allowing everyone to absorb his words.
A few moments later, he spoke again.
"However, before we get into all of that, I think it is time for you all to meet the Paragon... the real Paragon."
His hand slowly moved toward his mask, and for a brief moment, everyone held their breath.
"I have gone by many names and titles throughout the many lives I have lived. However, all of those names and titles belong to the past.
"This time around, I am known by two names, and they are..."
He paused before slowly pulling off the mask.
"...Klaus Hanson."
