[Eye of Paragon]

<Congratulations, you have awakened a new, unique trait: Defiance>

[Defiance]

[Description: You exist to defy the heavens.]

Klaus stood there reading as dozens of messages appeared before his eyes. Icon and Atomic didn’t joke around at all. Every few seconds, several messages flooded his vision until the last message appeared.

<You have been invited by the Heavenly Dao: Destiny. Do you accept this call?...Y/N>

Klaus blinked a few times, unsure of what to even do.

He had never been invited by any of the Heavenly Daos, especially not by one of the Cardinal Daos. The Heavenly Dao was composed of many Daos.

However, there were primary ones, such as the Fate Dao, Karmic Dao, and the Destiny Dao, known as the Cardinal Daos.

Being invited by one made him a bit suspicious. After all, his chat with the Karmic Dao hadn’t ended well, so there was no telling whether this would, either.

In the end, he decided to heed the call.

The Dao could not kill, so he had nothing to fear.

"Hey guys, I will be back in a jiffy," Klaus said to Icon and Atomic before he pressed yes. The next second, he found himself standing on a solid cloud.

Seated across from him on another cloud was a lady clad in white and red. They had never met before, but Klaus immediately recognized her as the Destiny Dao.

"Welcome, Paragon, and thank you for heeding my call," she spoke, a small smile playing at the corner of her lips as she scanned Klaus from head to toe.

"It took some thinking for me to come here, considering we aren’t exactly the best of friends, so it would be best if we cut the familiarity short and focus on what is important." Klaus narrowed his eyes at Lady Destiny. "Why am I here?"

Lady Destiny chuckled and gestured for Klaus to sit down first. When he did, she waved her hand, and three projections appeared.

In the first projection, he saw a large dark gate open, and billions of Void Beasts poured out. In the video, he saw Planet Earth being devoured, and all the humans living there consumed. But that wasn’t all. As the Void Beasts poured out, thousands, millions of worlds started getting consumed. Soon, all Klaus could see were Void Beasts.

The second projection showed the Foreign Race rampaging. It got to the point where the entire Universe entered a state of panic. Inside the projection, he saw the likes of the Burning Angel, Queenie, Hunter, and several others dying gruesome deaths.

The last projection showed the arrival of a humanoid and a beast race that Klaus had never seen before, yet when he saw them, a deep-buried hatred and the need to slaughter every last one of them surfaced. He hated them, and that could be seen from the look on his face. However, Klaus saw them slaughter everyone to the point that only he remained.

"What is the meaning of this?" Klaus asked, his expression calm while anger burned just beneath the surface.

"These are your destinies, Paragon. All three events I showed you will happen. However, it is up to you to stop them from happening, now that you have seen them.

The first event showed the arrival of a Void Gate, this time a much bigger version than the one that appeared during the Primordial Era."

"Is this the same gate as the one I am currently trying to prevent from opening?" Klaus asked. One of his incarnations was currently figuring out where the second Void Gate came from and how it was sealed.

If what he saw was true, then it meant the Void Gate would open, and the Universe would be in danger.

"No. That Void Gate was closed a very long time ago by brave men and women. However, a new one will open, and it will be up to you to stop it."

Klaus frowned. "Then does it mean I am wasting my time figuring out the Void Gate?"

"No. It is crucial to your destiny. To be able to deal with this gate, you must understand what happened back then. That said, it is up to you to decide what to do with what I have shown you."

Klaus had no idea why this was happening. Why was Lady Destiny showing him all of this? But he wasn’t about to question her motive.

"The second projection had to do with the Foreign Race finally breaking through the last layer of protection this Universe has mounted against them, and unless you prevent that from happening, the Universe will be in danger again.

As for the last, it concerned the arrival of the threat that this Universe has tried to avoid for years. I cannot tell you their name, but I know you share a destiny with them. In fact, your true mission has to do with them."

Klaus furrowed his brow. "I see. Though I must know, why are you helping me? Aren’t the Heavenly Dao my mortal enemies?"

Lady Destiny laughed to Klaus’s shock.

"Mortal enemy, you say? I don’t know about that, Paragon. After all, we brought you to this Universe. Me, Fate, Karma, and all other Daos in the collective are called the Heavenly Dao, and it was we who brought you here.

As to why we hate you, I don’t know. However, fear not. I brought you here because of the sudden shift in the destiny of this Universe. Something had changed, and whatever had taken control of this universe seemed to have been threatened.

I managed to slip this part of me through the small gap I found to call you here and reveal what was coming. Tomorrow, I may become your enemy again. But know this, Paragon, the dawn of a new era has arrived, and it will depend on you to save everyone or watch them all burn around you.

May fortune shine upon you, Paragon, and I hope the next time we meet, you and I can be on the same page."

Klaus found himself back inside his soul sea, three pentagon-shaped crystals hovering before him.

"Master, what happened?" Icon asked, seeing the air around Klaus change a bit.

"I went to have a chat with Destiny. Apparently, the Universe will soon face three dangers, and it is up to me to prevent them all."

Klaus reached for the three crystals and peered into them. Hidden within them were the projections he saw when he met Lady Destiny.

"I think Atomic’s arrival has disturbed the Heavenly Dao. They are afraid, and so they will start taking desperate measures to speed up whatever they had planned."

"Then we should prepare for them," Icon said.

"Indeed. If my presence made them afraid, then we have to make them terrified," Atomic stated, standing beside Icon.

"Very well, guys. I think it is time we start building the legion that will go against the heavens and win this time around."
