Devourer: Echoes of the unwritten

[Scene: Edge of the World – Forbidden Zone "Null Point"]

No map marked this land.

No light touched it.

Just darkness… and sky that never moved.

Kaito stood alone before a monolithic gate made of obsidian. The sky above it was cracked like glass, flickering between black and red lightning.

This was the Black Sky Gate.

The seal on the final fragment.

His system pulsed with pressure.

[God-Class Fragment 4 Detected: "Void Origin"]

Location: Inside the Black Sky Gate

⚠ WARNING: Entering may trigger system collapse.

This is not a dungeon.

This is the grave of the system itself.

Kaito reached forward.

"I came this far…"

"There's no turning back now."

He touched the gate.

[Scene: Flashback Surge – Fragment Memory Imprint]

Suddenly—

Black tendrils wrapped around his hand.

His mind shattered into a thousand visions.

A sky falling.

A god screaming.

A boy devouring a world not his own.

Systems written in blood.

He stood in a vision—not his memory—but the system's.

"This power… it didn't come from a creator."

"It came from a traitor."

A deep voice echoed:

"You wear the hunger of the first Devourer."

"He who consumed gods. He who was sealed."

"This gate… is his tomb."

[Scene: Reality Reconnect – Gate Cracks Open]

CRACK!!

The gate groaned open, bleeding pure void into the world.

Winds howled.

The sky above split in half, revealing a swirling black star—alive, and watching.

Kaito stepped through.

Immediately, gravity vanished. Color vanished. Only thoughts remained.

[Warning: Thoughtspace activated]

– Host body disconnected

– Entering God Core Terminal Field

[Scene: God Core Terminal – Inside the Final Fragment]

He floated before a throne of shadow.

On it sat a silhouette—massive, cloaked, crowned with spiked horns.

But it didn't move.

It wasn't alive. Not anymore.

Yet Kaito could feel it breathing.

[Fragment 4 – Void Origin: Absorbable]

Side Effects: Unknown

Outcome: ???

Devourer Seed → Final Bloom?

The System glitched.

[Devourer Prime Limit… Reached.]

[System Authority Override Possible.]

Kaito clenched his fists.

"If I take this… I become like him."

He stared into the shadow's skull.

"But if I don't…"

He thought of Reina.

Of the Ember Seraph.

Of the world above him cracking.

"Everything dies anyway."

He placed his hand on the throne.

[Scene: Final Absorption – Forbidden Evolution Begins]

BOOM!!!

The universe folded around him.

He didn't scream.

He disappeared.

But then—his screen glitched again.

A red symbol appeared.

[YOU ARE BEING WATCHED.]

[Scene: Outside the Gate – World Response]

The sky over Mid-City turned black.

Storms formed.

Hunters screamed.

AI cores failed.

In the Guild Tower, alarms blared.

Yuna watched in disbelief.

"He's done it."

"He took the Final Fragment…"

The AI next to her trembled:

[DEVOURER GOD ONLINE.]

[NEW ENTITY CLASS: OMNICIDE TIER]

[SYSTEM… COLLAPSING.]

[Scene: Reina – Watching the Sky Break]

She stood on the tallest rooftop, wind whipping her hair.

The clouds broke open like glass.

Stars began falling.

Her voice cracked:

"Kaito… what have you become?"

[Final Scene: Inside the Throne Realm – Kaito Returns]

He opened his eyes.

He was back in the world—but not the same.

Black glyphs floated around his body.

He no longer walked.

He hovered.

His shadow stretched across entire city blocks.

The system tried to open.

But he overwrote it.

[System Control… overridden by Host.]

[YOU ARE NOW: TRUE DEVOURER]

He looked to the heavens.

"No more running."

"Now the system answers to me."
