Chapter 1168: Meeting His Grandmother
Chapter 1168: Meeting His Grandmother
When the voice came from the portal, Goddess Nivara was taken aback.
She only has three children. Two betrayed her, so she had no plans to ever have a good relationship with them or their children – well, she is in no position to even consider that.
Her third child, the last born, is on the run simply because she chose to become the mother of the Paragon. She supported her, but she never expected her to send her son to such a cursed place.
This can only mean one thing: Almos decided to mess with her even further, so he sent people over. However, when the white-haired, handsome young man stepped out of the portal, her eyes widened.
“You—what… How are you here?”
She wanted to say so many things, but in the end, she only wanted to know one thing…
“How can a Soul Body live in this world?” The world she is in is a dead world; it has no life in it, so unless you cultivate the energy of death, death will come swifter than you might expect.
However, not only was this handsome boy there, but he was in his soul body, meaning his real body was sleeping somewhere.
This sight left her terrified.
Soon, however, she seemed to have grasped something… “The only way you can be fine in this cursed world is if you are one with Death.
This means Death would have to choose you, and for that to happen, you must go through the 25 circles of death and survive them all.”
She raised her head and stared at the handsome young man’s face… “Don’t tell me you have undergone 25 circles of death and survived…”
Klaus smiled, “No need to look shocked, Grandma… Your grandson is special.”
“Who are you?” Goddess Nivara asked, watching as Klaus rested his body on Maud’s shoulder.
“My name is Klaus Hanson… But to the heavens, I am the Paragon of the Nine Stars.”
Goddess Nivara’s eyes widened, hearing something so shocking yet ridiculous.
“Very shocking, right? I mean, here you are, bound in chains, body weaker than even an immortal, and on top of it all, your Law Core has been taken.
If that is not enough, you have already lost your connection to the Death Energy. Basically, you have lost everything.
Yet here you are, hearing you are a grandma and your grandson is a Paragon.” Klaus laughed, “Talk about bad luck, huh?”
Goddess Nivara could only stare at him with widened eyes.
Klaus knew she was going through a lot, so he chose to do all the talking… “Well, to me, being the grandmother of a Paragon should be considered a good thing. After all, being in the family of a Paragon means you don’t have to give a fuck what the heavens think.”
Klaus grinned and stopped to wait for his grandma to calm down.
Back on Earth, his body is perfectly fine. However, his soul—or a part of his soul—is several million light-years away from Earth.
This is all possible because of Maud.
As Yuying said, Klaus always plans ahead and looks for the best path that offers the highest chance of survival before doing anything reckless.
When he made the decision to use the sword, he had already planned a way to survive.
Thanks to Maud being his Death’s Heart, Klaus was able to put his soul in her just when he touched the sword. This meant knowing he would die, he cheated death by hiding in Maud, who was merged with him back then.
Later, after the battle, he planned to possess Maud’s body and then find ways to heal his broken body or build a new one.
However, something good happened.
What he never expected was Goddess Vexthra capturing ten gods and Chaos having a way to use seven of these gods to cast a second chance spell.
This spell gave him a 100% chance to continue living.
However, something even better happened when he merged with Maud.
When his body died, Maud vanished to the Lost Realm of Death. It is the only place she can stay and keep Klaus’s soul safe.
However, this merger came with so many goodies.
It turns out there are 12 seals on him called the Twelve Absolute Death Seals.
These seals correspond to the Twelve Agents of Death.
Maud is an Agent of Death, so when he merged with her, the Seal of Death’s Heart broke, unlocking a part of his death powers. As the Heir of Death, unlocking the twelve seals is a must.
And while Klaus never asked for it, thanks to Chaos, he has so much energy that he can spend on absolutely anything.
Unlocking the Death’s Heart seal awakened a death ability called “Death’s True Heart.”
This ability allows him to see, to some extent, into the death energy. Also, while looking into the death energy, he can see who is recognized by the Origin of Death.
To his shock, he only saw 609 people. They are the only beings in the universe cultivating the power of death that have been recognized by the Origin of Death.
One of them is his own mother, whom Klaus never got to say goodbye to. When he discovered this, he began paying closer attention to her mark.
After so many days had passed, Klaus spotted another mark similar to his mom’s. However, this one was dim. Maud explained that for an origin mark to look that dim, the person is either dead or has lost connection to the death energy.
Klaus, wanting to find out why this mark was similar to his mom’s, started paying closer attention to it. He spent weeks again, but nothing happened…
In the end, he decided to stop tracking it since the person it belonged to might be dead.
However, just as he was about to give up, another being with a death mark appeared closer to the mark he was paying attention to.
This allowed Klaus to finally see who it belonged to, and thanks to his role as the Heir of Death, he was able to see and hear through the person to whom the mark belonged.
It was then that he knew who the mark belonged to. So with Maud’s help, he managed to open a portal to her. He can’t stay there for long, but he can stay there long enough to help her.
“First of all, Maud, release my Grandma.”
Maud obeyed and released her from the chains by absorbing them. Right now, while inside a dead world, Maud is super powerful, and thanks to Klaus breaking the death’s heart seal, she has become even more attached to death.
This makes her powerful enough to break the chain.
“Second, I will restore your connection to the energy of death.”
Goddess Nivara was still in shock, even long after her release. But it didn’t end there. Klaus went ahead and restored her connection to the energy of death.
“Now, you need to go to the Human Universe and find a planet called Caelmir. Tell them Magnus sent you. Tell the goddess in charge to take good care of you for me. Stay there and continue to heal
When we meet in the future, we will think about a way to get back your Law Core.”
“No… I need to warn Ely; she is heading into danger.” Goddess Nivara wanted only one thing, which, to her, was more important than even meeting her grandchild.
“Mom will be fine. Do you really think I will allow the heavens to hurt my mother?” Klaus smirked.
“You, on the other hand, have to leave now. That bastard is on his way.” Klaus turned to Maud, “Send her away.”
