DN : [403] Destroyer

In the void between dimensions, August stood silently, observing the scene before him.
An entire world, once vibrant, now lay shattered and broken.
A year had passed since the annihilation of the Revolutionary Army Alliance.
During this time, August refrained from interfering further. Instead, he waited patiently for the inevitable destruction of the world.
Six months after the fall of the Alliance, the world of Akame ga Kill began to experience an unprecedented wave of natural disasters. Earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, tectonic shifts, and sea tornadoes wreaked havoc across the land.
It was as if the world itself, terminally ill and at the end of its life, had succumbed to systemic failure, leaving no room for salvation.
August observed everything with the detached perspective of a bystander.
In the absence of the corrupt minister, the Revolutionary Army, and the invading tribes, the Empire experienced a brief period of renaissance. Within just six months, it seemed as though the nation had been reborn. But this fragile dream was short-lived, shattered by the sheer magnitude of the natural calamities.
The Empire, once revitalized, proved powerless against the relentless onslaught. Temperatures plummeted, weather patterns turned erratic, and unrelenting storms devastated farmlands, leaving crops unable to grow. Amid such chaos, even the most orderly systems crumbled within two months, and the newly restructured Empire fell apart.
With destruction imminent, humanity’s darkest traits surfaced as people struggled to survive. Chaos reigned, as each individual sought only to prolong their own life.
But August, along with Esdeath, Akame, Kurome, and the female members of the Jaegers, remained indifferent. They merely watched as the world unraveled.
Despite her best efforts, Najenda’s numerous proposals and solutions to avert the disaster ultimately failed. Though she had Esdeath’s full support, the Empire’s disintegration was inevitable. Only the imperial capital maintained a semblance of stability—and even that was tenuous.
When Najenda finally confronted Esdeath to demand the truth, her despair was complete upon learning that the world had only months left before its ultimate destruction. Realizing the futility of her efforts, she questioned what all her sacrifices had been for.
Finally, August led Esdeath, Akame, Kurome, and the female Jaegers into a small, enclosed world of his own creation. From there, they silently observed as the timeline of this world approached its grim finale.
And now, today marked the final day.
With the World Tree sapling having absorbed the last vestiges of the world’s essence, the realm reached its end, succumbing to annihilation.
Fueled by the destruction of an entire world, the World Tree sapling’s growth skyrocketed, reaching an impressive 90% maturity. Just 10% more, and the sapling would enter its next stage.
During its growth to 70%, the World Tree sapling had awakened a new ability:
[Name: World Tree (Sapling)]
[Owner: August]
[Growth: Sprouting Stage (90%)]
[Innate Abilities: Space, Elemental Manipulation, Devouring, Plundering, Contracting, Blessing (Individuals recognized by the World Tree will receive its blessing)]
The blessing ability was particularly intriguing. Within August’s inner world, everyone under his protection had received blessings from the World Tree.
For instance, Ais gained the blessing of Wind, greatly enhancing her speed and granting her basic control over the wind’s power. Unlike magical abilities, this power consumed mental energy rather than mana.
Esdeath received the blessing of Ice, Tsubaki gained the blessing of Strength, and Akame received the blessing of Speed. The blessings were diverse and tailored to each individual’s strengths.
This reminded August of the Divine Protections from Re:Zero. However, while Divine Protections came from the world itself, these blessings were gifts from the World Tree.
As for August, he gained the blessing of the World itself, granting him access to the World Tree’s immense power. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that with the World Tree’s support, August’s strength rivaled—or even surpassed—the Level 9 of power.
The World Tree’s energy, though still in its infancy, was already formidable. With its assistance, August could tear through dimensional rifts and interact with the void beyond without fear of corruption or annihilation.
This protection allowed August the privilege of witnessing a momentous event—the destruction of an entire world.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host!]
[Hidden Ultimate Mission: World Annihilation Completed.]
[Reward: 5 Super Gacha Draws, Title: World Destroyer.]
[World Destroyer: A special title proving the annihilation of a world. Carries the consequence of being universally opposed by all worlds.]
The system’s notification startled August. While the rewards—five super gacha draws and a new title—were tempting, the title’s description made him frown.
Being universally opposed by all worlds? Are you kidding me?
Without hesitation, August unequipped the title. He had learned his lesson after being targeted by fate before: strength first, no unnecessary risks.
Wearing such a title while traveling to new worlds would practically guarantee disaster.
Despite his irritation, August couldn’t help but feel exhilarated as he looked at the five super gacha draws. It had been ages since he last used the system’s lottery, and now, at the end of this world, he had another chance.
With excitement, August opened the gacha interface. This would be his first time using five super draws in one go since his journey began.
“Alright, let’s test my luck. Spin!”
The gacha wheel began spinning rapidly, and August’s heart raced with anticipation.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the System Item: Transcendence Card!
The first reward made August nod in approval. A Transcendence Card, while not overly rare, was something he needed. After all, with the destruction of Akame ga Kill, he required a way to travel to a new world.
