Many had waited for this moment, the time the Paragon would make his appearance to save his parents. Some expected that to happen earlier in the battle.

However, as Supremes and Celestials started to appear, they doubted he would show up.

Now he had arrived, but they all couldn’t believe their eyes.

Call it shameless, but many never expected the Paragon to make an appearance with a hype man introducing him. For someone whose parents had been surrounded by Celestials, blasting your way through chaos and rushing to their side was what everyone expected.

However, watching as Klaus appeared through the portal, seated in a relaxed posture, made them all facepalm. Even his father couldn’t believe his eyes.

Klaus paused by Asmodeus’s side, and as if the two hadn’t done enough, what he said next left many wondering if the masked figure was an imposter.

"You forgot to add the most loving."

"Sorry, Master. I will get it right next time."

"I trust you, Asmodeus. Now, take the gifts I had prepared for you."

Asmodeus smiled and turned around with a grin. He lifted his staff, and under his authority as a Necromancer, he commanded, and the thousands of dead bodies rose to their feet.

"ARISE!"

At some point, Hunter and his people couldn’t absorb the blood of all their kills, so the dead bodies were floating in space waiting for their new master. Now, Asmodeus had claimed them all, leaving many trembling in both fear and anger.

"Well then, I will be on my way, Master." Asmodeus bowed toward Klaus and vanished. Klaus knew raising that many demigods and gods back from the dead had taken a toll on his body and soul, so he left to recover.

Klaus moved toward his parents, and when he was close enough, he stood up and walked toward his mother. The poor woman, who had missed her son so much, jumped into his arms, tears rolling down her face.

"Sorry, Mom. I should have known this would happen and made better arrangements for you and Pops." Klaus rubbed her back, his furious expression hidden behind his mask.

Seeing his mother cry had the power to make him start a massacre.

The hug lasted 5 minutes, during which everyone waited for it to end. When Lady Elysia managed to hold back her tears, Klaus guided her to sit on the Throne of Blood, the same throne the Asura God had sat on during the Blood Era.

"Relax, Mom. Let me take care of these bugs, then we can have a proper reunion."

Lady Elysia nodded and let go of Klaus’s hand. He turned and looked at his father. "Pops, don’t just stand there. Come for your own hug."

Of course, the only thing holding Hunter back was the shamelessness involved. He would have joined the hug between Klaus and his mom. However, he managed to hold himself back.

Now, he was like a child as he embraced his son.

Azai shook his head, a smile playing on his lips. Hunter clearly had no shame from the look of things. Thankfully, he didn’t last for more than 20 seconds.

"Glad to see you are okay, son."

"Likewise, Pops. Now, allow me to take things from here."

Klaus walked forward and stopped when he appeared beside Azai. He paused. "Thanks for the assist, Uncle. Let’s end this so I can turn you into a true Asura."

Azai’s eyes widened, but Klaus walked past him, a smile playing on his face. Azai turned and saw Hunter and Lady Elysia holding knowing smiles on their faces.

This made him wonder if he could indeed become a true Asura. After all, the Blood Demon Race came from the Asura Race.

Klaus stopped beside the Grim Judge and placed his hand on his shoulder. "You look terrible, Marcus."

"That I am, Big Brother. It hadn’t been easy for me at all since you left."

Klaus smiled and patted him twice on the shoulder. "We will address that later. For now, watch and learn how to aura farm."

Marcus smiled, happy that his big brother had returned. He can finally relax and take care of himself.

Klaus finally took three steps and appeared before Ignitia and Aleera, who held delighted expressions on their faces.

All around, the thousands of beasts that appeared all held the same expression. They could all sense it: a connection that had been severed for years had finally started to form.

That was more than enough reason for them to know the masked figure was the Paragon, their master, the Star Monarch. That filled them with so much joy.

"Good to see you two again. The last time we met, Ignitia, you threatened to burn my head off if I didn’t allow you to come to Planet BlueCrest. Do you still want to burn my head?"

Ignitia, who had just declared she would slaughter everyone, blushed, a sight that left many wondering just what had happened to the Calamity they all feared.

"I-I was kidding, Master. You already know that."

She jumped into his arms, and Aleera joined them. The reunion they had been waiting for years had finally arrived, and so they were happy.

The day it was learned that the Three Universe Calamities had been tamed by the Star Monarch, many cheered. Why? Because until they were tamed, every warrior dreaded the day they would meet them.

They were dangerous beasts with unfathomable combat prowess. However, the same beasts were now curled up in a mere Immortal Lord’s arms. That was just impossible.

Klaus was now an Immortal Lord, as Maud had temporarily merged with him. He needed the boost for what he had planned.

"JUST WHAT IN THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!" the 94th Heavens Executioner shouted, his fury bursting wide open.

None of this made any sense to him. They came to kill this very person, yet when he appeared, all they could do was stand there and watch him reunite one by one with his people.

That just didn’t make any sense, and they knew that. However, they also allowed themselves to watch as it happened.

He had finally had enough, and so he made his rage known.

However, Klaus merely turned toward him and smirked. He waited for Ignitia to let go of him before he finally spoke...

"I believe you all gathered here today were sent by the Heavens Court to come kill me and my parents." His question was directed at the Heavens Executioners and the others standing behind them.

"Even if I have to give my life today, I will make sure you die, you evil brat," the 91st Heavens Executioner said, his finger pointed at Klaus.

"Evil brat? When did I become evil or a brat?" Klaus shook his head and smiled behind his mask. "It seems you losers have been brainwashed to the point common sense is afraid of you."

The insult struck hard, but Klaus wasn’t done...

"In the past, your kind tried many times to kill me, but failed. Every time, more were sent, yet at the end of the day, no matter your losses, they never stopped sending more.

Sometimes I wonder if the Heavens Court doesn’t value your lives."

"What do you know about loyalty? An evil brat like you, who has killed a lot of innocent people, wouldn’t know anything about loyalty."

"Loyalty?" Klaus laughed and took one step forward. "You talk about loyalty, huh? Why don’t I tell you what loyalty truly is and what the Heavens Court has done each time to destroy that loyalty?"

Everyone became quiet...

"Did your employers tell you that during the Primordial and Divine Era, I was a member of the Heavens Court..."
