The day had come when I set off with the others to the 12th district. This time, however, it was something special - not because the enemies were particularly strong, but to test my powers on a larger scale. I had also been experimenting a bit with traitors and humans recently, but it mostly ended in failure, but sometimes I came to a few new insights, such as that I was now able to not only shoot All the World's Evils in liquid form, but also manipulate and solidify it. At first I planned to go alone, but then I had the idea that after my attack these ants could eliminate the rest of the surviving cockroaches. We were now just outside the city and you could already see the CCG officials setting up a blockade and getting ready for battle. Only this time there would be no battle, only absolute annihilation, and so I began to prepare myself. One of her abilities, Mana Burst, takes the form of an enormous amount of magical energy that surrounds her body like a thick mist, regardless of her will. Combined with her armor, the trail of magical energy significantly increases her defenses and ensures that a lot more energy flows through her body. She had only used Mana Burst a few times in her old life, but now with her new body and this power, things will probably be completely different.

We have arrived in the 12th district with Artoria and are preparing for a fight with the CCG not far away, but suddenly the queen moved a few steps forward and pulled out of nowhere a scary looking sword. She grabbed it with both arms and pointed it above her head towards the sky. What I saw that day was both incomprehensible and horrifying to me as black, red and purple energy began to radiate from her sword until only the rough outline of a sword could be seen. I heard her say something in the commotion but couldn't understand it and when she had finished speaking the sword glowed brighter and brighter until she swung it horizontally from above, causing a beam more than 5 meters thick in the colors of this energy to fly towards the CCG and the city behind it. We all felt the strong winds and the oppressive heat emanating from this beam and when it reached the CCG they simply evaporated before the beam continued its path unhindered into the interior of the city before finally there was a massive explosion that caused skyscrapers to collapse and sent debris in all directions. It was a picture from hell, this one attack probably claimed several hundred thousand lives and all she had to say about it was. "Not bad at all." I bit my lip to calm myself down a bit and not attack her from behind. When this monster turned to us I saw her smile for the first time, even if it was only very slightly. The death of so many people and probably ghouls just amused her. I knew then that this thing would destroy this world if it wasn't stopped, but first I have to find allies because I have no chance alone. I only came back to reality when she finally ordered us to kill all survivors and secure the area. After 20 minutes, with almost no resistance, I and a few others reached the center of the explosion where a huge crater over 200 meters wide had formed. Liquid lava could still be seen inside, which showed how hot it had been here. I sighed before I was interrupted by the conversation of two employees. "Holy shit, dude, look at the surroundings, one of the largest cities in Japan has simply been turned into a pile of rubble. With this leader, the world is as good as ours." "No one can resist something like that, something that makes you godlike." He had heard enough. After this mission, he would go back to Antik and find people who would join him in opposing this power.

At this time, a meeting was held in the CCG headquarters to discuss the latest events and countermeasures. Many special investigators such as Marude and Shinohara attended the meeting, but the most important person in the room was none other than Kishou Arima, the CCG's strongest ghoul investigator and the terror of all ghouls. This meeting was of the utmost importance because during the operation a few days ago, two terrifyingly strong ghouls had appeared, one of which caused destruction in the Cochlea while the other slaughtered troops at the ghoul base. This had serious consequences because the heavy loss of personnel during the ambush meant that the ghouls continued to advance and they could only slow down their progress for the time being. When everyone was there, two images of the ghouls causing chaos were projected onto the wall and showed none other than Artoria and Eto in their armor, then Marude began to speak. "The two ghouls you see here have never been seen before, so we assume they are ghouls from abroad, because one of them has clearly European facial features despite the visor he is wearing. After several analyses of the strength of the two, we have decided to give both of them the SSS rank, with the ghoul in the cochlea being given the code name Oni, while the other is called the Black Knight. Now we come to working out the plan to stop the ghouls' advance." But before they can go any further, an agent storms into the room and screams. "Boss, it's bad, the 10th district has been overrun and we no longer have contact with the 12th district." There was a moment of silence before excitement broke out. Many had relatives and loved ones in these districts who were now in danger, but Marude managed to calm everyone down. "We don't know how bad the situation is yet, but it won't help anyone if everyone runs around like headless chickens." As he was about to continue, a live broadcast came on the screen with the title, '12th District Destroyed?' was written and what you saw was truly horrifying, because in the middle of the city there was a gigantic crater and the buildings around the impact site were just rubble. You could see two people bursting into tears but nobody blamed them because the chances of them surviving were slim. At this point Arima, Shinohara and Marude realized that the destruction of the 12th district and the attack on the 10th district happened at almost the same time, which made it likely that the ghouls were behind it. There is one problem, however: how could they cause so much damage that it looks as if a nuclear bomb had hit. The transmission zoomed in further so you could see ghouls slaughtering the survivors. Most of the faces were distorted with anger; they knew that something like this could not go unanswered; how could they give ordinary citizens a feeling of security. Now they didn't have many options, either they would drive the ghouls out of the area or lose the support of the citizens. Marude thought for a moment before he drew attention to himself and spoke. "Listen to me, we will take revenge on them, they have proven that they want to fight us to the point of annihilation, so we will do the same from now on prisoners will only be taken when it is absolutely necessary, the rest will be executed without hesitation." That seemed to boost morale a little but Arima put a damper on things when he asked. "It's not that I'm against the plan, but the phoenix tree is growing more and more while we are still recovering from the devastating defeat, so I would like to know where we can get the men for such an operation." Marude had to laugh before he said. "We don't have to worry about that. The Washu clan has prepared a large number of soldiers, mercenaries and agents for an attack against the ghouls. Now it looks as if they are just as aware of the impending danger as we are." "If that is the case, I and the special investigators will kill or employ the strongest ghouls, while the others corner the weaker ones." Those present in the room were convinced of Arima's plan. They would do anything to finally put an end to this nightmare.
Far away in the Washu family's estate, Nimura Furuta can be seen who is currently knocking everything over in the room and seething with anger, because everything he has planned is slowly collapsing and the fault is the phoenix tree that just doesn't want to perish. When he calmed down after a few deep breaths, you could only hear him whispering quietly. "You will pay for this."

When I returned to the base I must say I was very satisfied with the damage I caused, but there is still a lot of room for improvement considering how dangerous some worlds can be. I was also able to confirm that the people I corrupted are much stronger than before, even though Eto is currently the only one. The interesting thing is that she has to sleep a few hours a day to stay energetic, whereas I only have to rest for a short time to reach my physical peak again. What we have in common, however, is that our aging process has stopped, which means that we are immortal. Anyway, I had left everyone in the 12th district so that they could secure it even if there was nothing of value to protect. As footsteps came closer and closer, a normal member was seen bowing and speaking. Please forgive my unannounced appearance, but a group of ghouls wants an audience with you." "Hmm, well, send them to the meeting room."I went towards the conference room and saw 5 clowns there, which was definitely a change. When they saw me they bowed slightly sarcastically and one started to speak. "Well hello dear leader of the Phoenix tree, we have come here today to issue a warning." "And what kind of warning could that be?" "Quite simply, the 3rd district is the territory of us clowns, if you dare set foot there then your reign will be shorter than you think." "That's good to know, then at least I know which district we will tackle next and since you behaved like that in my presence, your death will not be an easy one." Before any of them could react, a splash of "All the evil of the world" was shot at each of them and as soon as it entered their bodies they screamed and rolled on the floor. You could see how they slowly melted and only after 4 minutes did the screams stop, leaving only a red mush behind. The only thing she said before leaving the room was to the member who was still standing next to her. "Clean up this mess."
