Chapter 1730: Third Paragon Ascension

[Elemental Garden]

Kaden stood atop a mountain overlooking the vast and beautiful city ruled by King Xzeth. Standing beside him was Namariona, Pickle Berry’s big sister...

It had been two days since they had arrived in Dunsil City. So far, their stay had been pleasant. They were welcomed with open arms and attended to with joy and happiness.

Pickle Berry’s return to her family after years had left everyone overjoyed. Pickle Berry was also happy, for while Queen Harxix isn’t her real mother in this life, she was her mother in her past life and remains so.

Her real mother in this life had already become Klaus’s wife, and since she had no plans to call Klaus father, she might as well embrace Queen Harxix as her mother to make things easier.

She had adapted quite quickly, and that alone showed how happy she was to be back in her mother’s loving arms.

But Kaden didn’t come here just to talk with Namariona. She is the Third Star Light destined for this particular incarnation.

Meaning, before Kaden can become a god, Namariona would have to awaken her powers as the Third Star Light and open the gateway to the Third Paragon Star.

The last two days were spent dining and catching up.

Today, he was ready to awaken her so he could become a god. This decision was reached because Icon had received the next coordinates, and they led to the Elemental Tower, the same tower Maneli said only gods and above can get closer to.

So he must become a god, and Namariona will help him achieve it.

Kaden had this feeling that the only way out of this place could be found in the Elemental Tower. So no matter what, he must go there.

"Are you ready?" Kaden asked, turning to face Namariona, whom he had already explained things to, and she had agreed to help him.

Unlike Hanna and Nyrela, Namariona is basically a stranger to him. They’ve never met in their past lives, and so it is hard to determine what she would take lightly in this life.

So basically, she was doing him a favour.

But Kaden knew things would soon change once she awakened as the Paragon Star Light...

"I am ready," she replied, and Kaden nodded. He then produced a drop of his blood and brought it closer to her lips. Namariona opened her mouth and let the blood in.

"Accept everything about yourself, and it will be over before you know it."

Namariona nodded and swallowed the blood. Instantly, a wave of lightning burst out of her body, sending shockwaves around.

Kaden stood his ground, watching as a cocoon formed around her. In no time, she was cocooned. He smiled and sat beside the cocoon and started to wait.

Meanwhile, standing atop a tall tower somewhere in the city, Pickle Berry and her family, King Xzeth, Queen Harxix, Xexaria and Thokk, alongside Maneli, watched as Namariona was cocooned.

Xexaria made a fist and pressed it against her chest, perhaps worried about her twin sister.

"Relax, big sister, nothing bad will happen to her," Pickle Berry said, a smile playing on her face. "On the contrary, she will be coming out far stronger than you, so if I were you, I would go to big brother and ask him to give me some of his blood."

Xexaria turned and looked at Pickle Berry and smirked. "You make it sound like his blood is that special..."

"But his blood is indeed special. I have seen him turn weak beings into powerhouses with a mere drop of his blood. I myself have tasted his blood, and as you can see, I am much more powerful than most elementals.

So trust me when I tell you this: big brother is the real deal if you don’t want to be left in the dust by big sister Namariona."

Xexaria smiled and nodded. "Regardless, I will wait for them to be done before I make a decision."

Pickle Berry was okay with that. However, she would force Xexaria to obtain some of Kaden’s blood, since it would raise her strength by leaps and bounds.

"Can I also get some?" Thokk asked, staring back at his baby sister, whom he had missed so very much.

"Of course, big bro. I will tell big brother Kaden to give you some when he is done." Even she had plans for her parents, too. But for now, they could only wait.

---

Three days later, the cocoon trembled, then it exploded open, revealing a dazzling beauty with flowing blue hair, lightning dancing all over her body.

The moment the cocoon exploded open, a powerful shockwave that came from Namariona’s body sent even Kaden flying back. All the way inside the city, King Xzeth narrowed his eyes, a visible shock appearing on his face.

And he wasn’t the only one in shock.

Namariona is a Pseudo-Primordial, alright. However, the aura that came with the shockwave clearly shouldn’t belong to a Pseudo-Primordial, at least not one who hadn’t even comprehended the Law of Origin yet.

Or maybe she had, and it had to do with Kaden’s blood.

Suddenly, everyone felt as if something impossible had happened, and that just wasn’t something they were prepared for.

But Kaden and Namariona didn’t seem to care about that.

Naturally, just as Kaden was sent flying, she teleported and caught him.

They stared at each other for a few moments, then they both smiled. Kaden could remember where he had met Namariona before.

It was during his second incarnation. Knox travelled to the Elemental Galaxy to recruit a race whose command over lightning was the best back then.

When he arrived, the person he met was a young lady who, by appearance, wasn’t even 30 years old. However, she was already a demigod and the ruler of that small race.

Before she accepted his proposal to join his cause, she fought him, and Knox won.

"Good to see you again," Kaden said, and she nodded.

Then she raised her hand and snapped her fingers, summoning the Paragon Star gateway. "You do not have much time, so ascend first, and we can catch up later."

Kaden nodded and handed over a space ring to her before entering the gateway.
