Chapter 1598: Overpowered Paragon
Knox and Asura stood side by side, staring back at the five people looking at them.
Klaus, who was staring at himself in different appearances, smiled and waved his hand, manifesting a round table with ten chairs surrounding it.
“Sit,” he gestured, and his incarnations sat down.
When they did, three chairs remained, showing that he still had three more incarnations to create bodies for. Those incarnations, of course, were the Paragon, Renegade Monk, and Magnus, the Vampire Monarch.
He had partially awakened their bloodlines. However, he created incarnations of different lives for some of them.
He did so to draw away suspicion.
If suddenly there was an overpowered vampire named Magnus roaming the universe, all old enemies would suspect him and kill him before he became a problem in the future.
So he gave Magnus’ bloodline to Rhazor and the bloodline of the Renegade Monks to Kaden. As for Paragon, his first incarnation, he had no plans for him just yet.
However, because of how insidious and extremely meticulous that incarnation was, he knew he would need him as a strategist during the battles to come.
He is the same person, but, personality-wise, they are different.
Soon, he would create these three additional incarnations, finally becoming whole again.
Klaus scanned the faces of his six incarnations and smiled.
Seeing him smile, Knox smiled as well. Just like Efad, he was also quiet and very easygoing. However, when it came to battle, he was something else entirely.
“What are you two smiling about?” Kaden asked, his brow furrowed.
“What is there not to smile about?” Klaus replied and then added, “From where I sit, I can see six other versions of myself, stronger and more handsome at the same time.”
Asura narrowed his beautiful yet terrifying crimson eyes. “Somehow, I feel like I should be disgusted by what you said. But what you said is indeed true. We have come a long way.”
Klaus laughed and nodded. “We have indeed come a long way. But we still have a long way to go; in fact, we have a vast journey ahead of us.”
They nodded and started paying attention to Klaus. Inasmuch as they would love to banter, they all knew from what had been revealed recently that something dangerous was coming, and the only person who could stop it was the Paragon.
All seven of them were the Paragon, so it was their job to handle that.
“I believe we have already seen enough to know the Heavens are the least of our problems. They are much weaker, and so taking them down would be as simple as crushing a bug.
“However, we cannot go against them just yet. We have issues like the Void Beasts, which we have crushed before. In fact, I have reason to believe we already handled over seventy percent of them the last time, so eradicating them now wouldn’t be too difficult.”
They nodded, some clenching their fists. Once again, having seven bodies with different personalities was weird.
“But are we really going to crush them all?” Efad suddenly asked, earning weird looks from his other incarnations.
“Why ask that, Elf?” Asura asked, his tone laced with mockery.
Why? Because during the Blood Era, he had been betrayed by the elves, and so he hated them. Even that hatred was now being directed at himself, which was, yet again, very weird.
“I mean, the last time, we didn’t have the Star Monarch Bloodline. In fact, the last time, we weren’t even as strong as we are now. However, look at us now. We have powerful bloodlines, one of which can turn even a devil into an angel.
“So why should we crush them when we can turn them to our side? And before Asura rolls his ugly eyes, allow me to reveal something I have discovered.”
Of course, even if Efad didn’t say it, his incarnations would know since they all shared the same mind. But saying it seemed like the best decision.
“Go ahead,” Klaus said, and Efad nodded.
“You remember what happened when I added a certain number of beasts to the Star Monarch Tree?” he asked.
They nodded. After all, he had awakened the Bloodline Tree, which, if used well, could enable him to bestow powerful bloodlines upon just about anyone.
He can turn his beast companions and friends into one-of-a-kind beings.
“As it turns out, that requirement had always been there, but was only triggered in this life. Now, when the five-hundred-thousandth beast is added, we will finally awaken the Beast Monarch Title.
That title will grant us the ability to make just about any beast our subordinate.
“Those who don’t have resonance with our bloodline can still be added, but they will become forbidden or abominable beasts. However, no matter what they become, they will grow more powerful and obedient.
“I know it will be hard to get Void Beasts under our control, but if we can make just one hundred thousand our subordinates, and make each a Supreme or Celestial, then taking care of the Foreign Race will be as simple as lifting a finger.”
“That would indeed help us. However, how sure are we that we can get five hundred thousand beast companions before the Void Gate opens?” Knox asked.
“We once had one million beasts, but most of them haven’t found their way back home yet. We can, of course, search for them, but how sure are we that we can find them all before the time to face the Void Race comes?”
“Leave that to me,” Rhazor said, crossing his left leg over his right.
“I’ve decided to show my support for the Paragon soon, so you’d better come save my ass, Orion, before those bastards kill me. However, supporting and joining the Paragon are two different things.
“We will show the universe that we can work together while still hating each other, so after you save me, make sure you offer me something I cannot refuse. I am now a beast, so make it good, and trust me, it will bring all the beasts running.
“Of course, the reason why my plan will work is that I will be going to the Beast universe, so they will come to me, and since I am not the Paragon, the eyes on me will be limited.
The heavens court will hate me, but they wont come after me like they would the paragon. That means I can roam the Beast Universe, adding one beast after another to the fold.”
Kaden nodded and said, “I never knew dragons had brains, considering they are a bunch of brutes. You have impressed me, Rhazor.”
Rhazor narrowed his eyes at Kaden, but Klaus stepped in.
“Razor’s plan seems sound, so let’s implement that.”
They all nodded.
“Then, on to the next issue. Efad, do you need help clearing the Void Vortexes?” Klaus asked, and Efad nodded.
“Yes, but for now, I will handle as many as I can. I have a feeling things will change soon, and so I cannot endanger anyone until I figure out the core nature of the Void Vortexes. Somehow, I believe someone else helped the First Celestials seal the Void Gate, and I intend to find out who.”
“You do that, and make sure you don’t die.”
Efad nodded, and Klaus turned to Asura.
“Buddy, you have to join the ladies when they open the gate for the Asura Race to return. You must become the Asura God again.”
He nodded, already aware of the plan.
“As for you, Knox, your mission is critical. I want you to comprehend the Aura, Intent, Concept, Law, and Dao of all elements and laws we have affinity for. Once Paragon, Renegade, and Magnus emerge, they will help you. You can stay on Earth to do that.”
“As long as it puts me as far away from the Barbarian Queen as possible, I wouldn’t mind.”
Klaus and his incarnations laughed. It seemed the trauma from the past was still following Knox…
