Devourer: Echoes of the unwritten

Chapter 10: Chapter 10: “World Collapse – Let the Hunt Begin”



[Scene: Above Mid-City – Midnight]

The sky wasn't just dark.

It was broken.

Floating shards of cloud. Thunder frozen mid-flash. Stars pulled into a black spiral overhead.

And in the center of it all… Kaito hovered.

No wings.

No engine.

Just pure rejection of gravity.

[Status Update: TRUE DEVOURER – GOD-CLASS COMPLETE]

– Reality Sync: 67%

– Threat Level: Omnicide Tier

– Control Authority: 100% over local System Zone

[WARNING: Multiversal Eyes Detected]

– You are no longer hidden.

Kaito opened his eyes. Black stars burned in them.

Below, people screamed. Sirens wailed. Hunters mobilized.

The world had finally noticed.

[Scene: Guild Tower – Emergency War Summit]

"WE CAN'T STOP HIM!"

"We have to evacuate the whole city!"

"Get the Inter-Realm Hunters on the line—NOW!"

Yuna Mizaki stood in the center of the chaos, fists clenched, staring at the floating figure on the screen.

"He was just a boy…" she whispered.

The AI beside her trembled with static.

[WARNING: System Collapse Detected]

[All Class Tiers now obsolete. Devourer overrides root functions.]

"He's not just a boy anymore," Yuna said.

"He's a system breaker."

[Scene: Kaito Descends – Mid-City's Last Light]

BOOM!

Kaito landed on a skyscraper rooftop. The entire structure bent under his weight.

Around him, air shimmered like heat waves.

His presence alone warped reality.

He looked across the city. Countless Hunter teams below. Drones hovering. Guns and blades pointed at him.

A public broadcast buzzed on every screen:

"Kaito Ryu. You are now classified as a global-level anomaly. Stand down or be erased."

Kaito looked into the camera.

Eyes glowing.

Tail twitching behind him like a sentient weapon.

"You can't erase what you created."

"You fed the weak to the strong."

"I just became stronger than you expected."

[Scene: Reina – Watching from Afar]

Reina stood on a nearby rooftop, her spear gripped tight.

Tears welled in her eyes.

"You said you'd stay human…"

She whispered like a prayer.

"Please… don't become the thing we have to kill."

[Scene: The First Strike – World vs. Devourer Begins]

MISSILE STRIKE – INBOUND

Ten tactical hunter-grade cruise missiles screamed toward Kaito's location.

WHOOSH.

He raised a single hand.

The missiles froze mid-air—then turned.

[System Authority Override: Reflected Targeting]

– Command: "Go back."

BOOM!!!

They exploded over the base that fired them.

Shockwaves ripped the skyline apart.

Kaito didn't move an inch.

[Scene: Hunter Response – The Seven Sentinels Deploy]

In response, the Seven Sentinels—the strongest system-backed elite units—were deployed from across the globe.

Each one was S++ tier.

Each one trained to kill monsters like Kaito.

They landed in a crater, surrounding him in a perfect ring.

The leader, Commander Nero, stepped forward, cloaked in white energy.

"You're not a man anymore. You're a threat to reality."

Kaito looked at him.

"Then you better send more than seven."

"Because I'm hungry."

[Scene: Battle Tease – Cliffhanger Ending]

CRACK!!!

The ground split as energy burst from Kaito's body.

The Sentinels readied their weapons.

The city held its breath.

And the system whispered in the background—

[WORLD COLLAPSE INITIATED.]

[THE HUNT HAS BEGUN.]
