Amidst the settling ruins of the collapsed domain, as the veil of false reality dissipated like mist before the sun, Kairyuuha stood unmoved, poised like a monument carved from fate itself. His aura no longer roared—it resonated, vibrating with the silent authority of a being whose designs had never once wavered.

  He exhaled slowly, eyes narrowed—not at the emerging forms of the descending Custodians, but at the vast sky, as if addressing the very consciousness of the world.

  > “They may be perplexed,” he murmured. “The readers. The observers. Even the Deities.”

  > “So be it. Let me articulate the orchestration.”

  He raised a hand, fingers outstretched, as if tracing the timelines and tendrils of fate in the air.

  > “Every battle. Every conquest. Every alliance feigned and war waged—these were not mere reactions to circumstance.”

  > “They were manifestations of an enduring stratagem. A tapestry I have woven from the shadows of forgotten millennia.”

  This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

  He paused, gaze glinting with timeless calculation.

  > “The wars were not chaos; they were calibration.”

  “The deaths were not meaningless; they were sacrifices placed with precision.”

  > “Every phase—every massacre, resurrection, betrayal, seal and release—was a chord in a grand symphony played solely to converge upon this singular cadence: the annihilation of the Custodians.”

  A gentle wind stirred, though there was no atmosphere. It was the world listening.

  > “This moment was never incidental. It was inevitable.”

  > “The execution of Phase VII in the Obsidian Cycle, the calculated loss of Velgrin, the shattering of the Celestial Sigil of the Western Heavens, and even the birth of Kazuki…”

  > “…were all keystones in a lattice of inevitability I forged from patience, suffering, and clarity.”

  His voice was not loud. It was commanding because it needed no volume—only conviction.

  > “To some, I may appear cruel.”

  “To others, deranged. A tyrant with delusions of grandeur.”

  He turned his eyes toward the descending lights of the Custodians, whose radiance now dimmed as their senses brushed the truth of his words.

  > “But I am not a tyrant.”

  > “I am the last Architect. The final Witness. And now… the Executioner.”

  He raised two fingers again.

  > “They will descend, wielding my own powers. Thinking themselves untouchable.”

  > “But I am the origin. I am the equation. I am the paradox that devours its own outcome.”

  Lightning crackled far above. The sky itself hesitated.

  > “And to those still doubting…”

  “…understand this—there was never a moment where I was not in control.”

  > “The Custodians believe this is the climax of rebellion.”

  “But this is simply…”

  “…the final verse of a prophecy I whispered into the cosmos long before they ever learned to speak.”
