The queen of the barbarians was a legendary figure during the Divine Era.

Long before they met, Klaus had heard so many things about her. They said that long before the War of Immortals and Gods, she had already killed a few gods.

Some said her brute strength was more than enough to shatter the bones of gods and destroy planets. Many said many things, but when Klaus met her, he saw firsthand what she was capable of.

Just like Queenie, who had only reached the Demigod stage in her past life, the barbarian was the same. However, looking at her standing 7’4" tall, with refined muscles, dark hair falling down her back, and the aura of supremacy coming out from her body, Klaus felt cold sweat break out on his back.

And he wasn’t the only one. Even Queenie, who could be considered one of the most dangerous Supremes in existence, felt like one punch from Vida would shatter every bone in her body.

She had that presence that made one feel small. Of course, given her height, one would have to lift one’s head to see her face. That would surely make anyone feel small, but before Vida, everyone had already become small.

"So this is what it feels like to be a Supreme," Vida said, flexing her muscles and feeling the energy running through her body. "I feel like I can punch a hole through the planet."

"Maybe you shouldn’t do that, Vida," Klaus said as he approached her. When he got close, Vida bent down and lifted him into her arms, causing everyone to laugh.

Klaus is 6’4", while Vida is now 7’4". That is a foot taller than him, so she supported him by lifting him into her arms.

They kissed before she settled him back down.

"How do you feel?" Klaus asked. Unlike Queenie and the others, who needed just a few hours to finish their process, Vida’s lasted 12 hours. So he wanted to check if she was alright.

"I am fine, my love. Just hungry." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Klaus laughed. Barbarians aren’t Titans, but they like food just as much. The more they eat, the stronger they become.

"We should return to Caelmir. Vida wants to eat." Hearing Klaus’s words, Hunter opened the gateway back to Planet Caelmir, where some of the beasts had already completed their innate body awakening.

Ignitia and Aleera had already awakened, becoming even more beautiful. As two True Calamities, they never dreamt of a day when they would look more human than beast.

They ran to Klaus’s side, very happy. From here on, they could roam around without making people feel threatened.

"Thank you, Master. I feel like I have become even stronger," Ignitia said, hugging Klaus’s right arm.

"Me too. I am at least five times stronger now. Thank you, Master," Aleera said as she hugged his left arm.

Klaus laughed and nodded at their praise.

While they could be considered two of the most dangerous people in the universe, when around Klaus, they were just two ladies who were happy to be reunited with their master and best friend.

Looking around, over 20,000 of his beasts had awakened their innate bodies, everyone taking on humanoid forms.

With their new appearances, it would now be simple to move around and infiltrate more ranks of the Heavens Court. Plans started forming in his head as he examined the changes that had happened to his beast companions.

Suddenly, Klaus sensed another presence outside the seal. He let King Alric open a portion of it, allowing Runner to enter.

"You are back," Klaus said, happy to see Runner return safely.

"Yes, Master, I managed to stumble upon a space vortex, so I reached the Demon Universe faster than I had expected."

"That is good."

Runner smiled and retrieved the Demon Bead, handing it over to Klaus, who quickly opened the portal, allowing his uncle Azai and two others to walk out.

King Alastor and Queen Ophelia went into a battle stance when they sensed all kinds of powerful auras suddenly turn toward them as they appeared.

"Relax, old man, my son didn’t bring you here to kill you, even though you deserve death," Hunter said with a smirk as he walked toward his mother.

Again, when they saw Hunter oozing the power of a Supreme, their expressions changed.

"You... what happened to you?" King Alastor ignored everyone and asked, his expression showing his shock.

"What does it look like, old man? I am now a Supreme, same as you."

"Yeah, I can see you are a Supreme, punk. I want to know how any of this was possible. You were a Demigod a few days ago."

Hunter laughed and flicked his hair back. "Maybe I am better than you, old man—ouch."

Lady Elysia grabbed Hunter’s ear, causing him to scream. With a smile on her face, she spoke, "Welcome to Planet Caelmir, Father, Mother. Your grandson has been expecting your arrival."

Just then, Klaus walked forward with a broad smile on his face. "Welcome, Grandpa, Grandma."

Queen Ophelia only needed a single look before she pulled Klaus into a tight hug. "Oh, my grandson, I finally have a grandson."

Everyone looked at Klaus struggling in his grandma’s embrace and erupted into a wave of laughter. Klaus is the Paragon, but time and time again, he becomes just an ordinary guy who can be squashed like a bug.

After a minute, Queen Ophelia let go of him and cupped his cheeks. "You look even more handsome than Hunter."

Ignoring the jealous look on Hunter’s face, she went ahead to praise Klaus even more, almost forgetting there were people looking at them.

"Mother, I am also here."

Queen Ophelia ignored him and pulled Lady Elysia into a group hug, Hunter chewing his lips on the side. Considering how his mother used to pamper him, this was the biggest blow he had ever received.

"Oh, snap out of it. Can you compare yourself to my grandson?" King Alastor laughed, feeling very happy.

"You old man, if it wasn’t because of me, Klaus would have one day hunted you down and killed you for abandoning me and sending demons after me."

King Alastor smirked. "What, you expect me to apologize or what? I merely wanted to show the universe I wasn’t on your side, you punk. If I hadn’t done that, do you really think Azai and the rest of the Demon Generals would have helped you from the shadows?"

"That..." Hunter had nothing to say. He suspected someone had helped them from the shadows 20,000 years ago, but he never expected his old man to be that person.

In his mind, Lady Elysia’s mother was the one. Now that he learned his old man was the one, he became a bit conflicted.

Seeing this, Azai patted him on the shoulder. "He didn’t just send us, little brother. He came and fought a Celestial using his other identity."

"The Shadow Monarch."

"Yes. Father was worried sick about you, so he personally came to ensure you escaped successfully."

Hunter turned to look at his old man, whose shoulders were held high, a smug look plastered across his face.

"No need to look so smug, old man. As a father, it was your job to make sure your children are safe and sound."

"You punk."

King Alastor was about to lunge at Hunter when Klaus grabbed his hand. "Relax, Grandpa. If you fight him, you would lose. That said, why don’t we go inside first and talk about why I brought you and Grandma here?"

"You heard him, old man. You would lose if you dared to fight me."

"Don’t be too happy, Pops. The moment I make Grandpa an Asura Demon King and a Celestial, no amount of sword puppets can save you."

Hunter kept quiet but still held a smirk on his lips.

Klaus turned to his beast companions. "I will send you all to the Beast Dimension. Once I am done here, I will come so we can discuss our next plans and what to do about the rest of our brothers and sisters."

They nodded, and before long, all of them were sent into the Multi-Dimensional Cube, and the rest of them retired to the Royal Mansion to catch up and plan for what Klaus had prepared for his grandparents and uncles.

Meanwhile, back on the Void Planet, Klaus’ other incarnation opened his eyes, waves of Void Qi exploding out from his body. Sweat formed on his forehead, his body trembling slightly.

It was like he had just woken up from a dreadful dream.

He took a deep breath and exhaled, allowing his body to relax. A few seconds later, a unique form of Void Qi exploded from his body, showing he had stepped into the ranks of Perfect Void Law comprehension (affinity).

Allowing himself a slight smile, he gazed into the void, his eyes landing on the third Void Vortex.

It had been months on the outside since he started recalling the events that happened before the second Void Gate was sealed. To his body, years had passed, and in his mind, thousands of years had passed.

But he finally managed to recall what had happened and what he must do to ensure that the next Void Gate to open would face extreme resistance.
