Rhazor and his four Primordial Flame Spirits faced off against a Primordial of the Heaven's Court. A mysterious woman revealed she knew of the Forbidden Flames and the Paragon's identity. She then assisted Klaus in killing the Pseudo-Primordial, repaying a debt, before Klaus invited her to a future gathering. Afterward, Rhazor agreed to speak with Uncle Monk and prepared to fight the Primordial, who ultimately fled.

The moment the Primordial from the Heavens Court left, the mood in the space lightened.

Many expected a clash between Klaus and the Primordial. However, now it appeared that it wouldn’t be happening. Of course, the reason for this wasn’t because of Klaus or the four forbidden flame spirits.

While it is true that Nirvana and her siblings are monsters to be feared, they aren’t unstoppable. As a Primordial, he possessed several treasures that could threaten them, so he had the means to get to Rhazor or Klaus.

The reason he left was because of Uncle Monk and the other Primordials around.

While on the surface they appeared nonchalant, he could tell they weren’t hostile toward Paragon like he was. So, despite one of them killing a member of the Heavens Court army, he said nothing and left.

There could always be revenge later, and that alone was more than enough to show the kind of power he knew he couldn’t go against.

But by leaving, Void and her siblings, who wanted to showcase their powers, were left disappointed. They wanted to use the Primordial from the Heavens Court as a stepping stone. So, with him gone now, they had no choice but to curse at him.

"Next time, I will make sure his face is burned beyond recognition," Void said before calming down.

Rhazor heard this and laughed. He never knew his Primordial Flame Spirits would be this brazen, even when facing a Primordial.

"Relax, guys. It won’t be long before we start facing more powerful opponents," Rhazor said, hoping that when the day came, his flame spirits would finally understand the kind of power they commanded and the magnitude of danger they were up against.

For now, it was all new to them.

Klaus, who was seated on his throne, relaxed and unbothered, turned and looked at the Burning Angel, who stood calmly in the air with Lord Victor, his disciple, standing beside him.

When their gazes met, he smiled and said, "Looks like you have stirred up trouble, Klaus."

Klaus replied, a guilty smile on his face, "I had to, else that bastard and his organization would have brought this universe to its knees while disguising themselves as its helpers."

The Burning Angel, who already hated the Heavens Court, nodded. They had killed his family during the Star Monarch Era, so he hated them to the core. The Celestial Supreme was, if not his number one enemy, then certainly the person he hated to the point he would give anything to kill.

He wanted him dead, and now that Klaus had exposed the Heavens Court’s deep, dark secrets, he could finally kill him—that is, if the Celestial Supreme dared to make a public appearance while he was nearby.

"So, what are your plans now?" the Burning Angel asked, wanting to use the moment to make people admire the Paragon even more.

He and the Paragon had been friends for years, so he wasn’t about to hide behind the facade that they were enemies simply because the Warrior Temple had sworn to keep the Paragon in check, and he happened to be one of its twelve founders.

He recognized Klaus’s strength, so he wasn’t about to pretend otherwise.

"As I said, I have more than one incarnation, so I would be doing all kinds of things. However, the most pressing ones would be preparing for whatever the Celestial Supreme and Axarax cook up next.

I know from a trusted source that they would put the Universe in danger on three separate occasions, so I would be preparing for that while also hunting them down.

Just like me, Axarax has many bodies, but unlike him, I can tell which bodies are his. So, unless he remains hidden, I will find him and kill every last body he possesses."

"Sounds like you would have your hands full," the Burning Angel said, turning sideways to look at the two remaining Primordials. He had some form of friendship with Stark, the Seven-Star Reincarnation Swordsman.

However, Uncle Monk was a stranger to him.

"If you don’t mind, I would love to join the hunt. I have an obligation as a warrior to make sure the Universe is protected against threats both within and beyond this universe.

Initially, I thought that threat was you, but after recent events, I finally realized who the real danger is. So I would love to join you in hunting down the threats to this universe."

Klaus had no problem with that, so he nodded and said, "Your help would be appreciated. But for now, let me handle some personal issues. I will call you when the time is right."

The Burning Angel nodded, and Klaus turned to the redhead who had been staring at him from the moment he appeared. This redhead, of course, was the Genesis Flame Queen, another founding member of the Warrior Temple.

"It is a pleasure to see you again, Genesis Flame Queen," Klaus said, intentionally using her title to draw away suspicion that he knew her on a personal level.

While she was capable, Klaus knew the Heavens Court could choose to attack her to spite him. He might be a monster with a formidable force behind him, but she alone could not face the Heavens Court, which still had its Legion under the Celestial Supreme.

"Glad to see you alive too, Paragon. The last time we met, you saved my life. I was hoping to save yours today too so we would be even, but I guess I will have to wait until next time," she said with a smile, which made Klaus smile as well.

"You don’t have to repay me, my Lady. Saving you was more of a professional courtesy."

She nodded and smiled. "If you say so. But still, when you have time, you can come to Planet Nexarion so we can catch up. I would love to see how the Warrior Temple and the Paragon can live in harmony and protect the Universe together."

"I would love that. But for now, like I said, I have some things to handle, so perhaps a month from now. Expect me."

She smiled and nodded.

Klaus then turned to the Seven-Star Reincarnation Swordsman. "I would also like to invite this senior to the gathering I will be hosting. Although you are a Primordial with certain restrictions, our enemies won’t be all rainbows and sunshine, so having a man of your caliber in our midst would be a great help."

"I will come and listen to what you have to say, Paragon. Until then, good luck, and keep your senses sharp. There are more dangers in this universe than you think."

He took one step forward, and he vanished into thin air.

"Grandpa Monk, we can also leave. The earlier I handle my business with the Elven Queen, the better."

With that, Uncle Monk and Rhazor also left.

Klaus teleported back to Planet Caelmir with Ignitia, Asmodeus, and Aleera.

He had done what he wanted by making sure his past friends, companions, and allies knew he was back and would start making contact.

Now, he just had to handle the issue with the Paragon Star Lights, and three more incarnations would become gods. Until then, Klaus finally decided to upgrade his friends who came with him from Earth.

After years apart, he would be meeting them again, and this time he wants them to become powerful so they can travel to the Ancient Battlefield together.
