Mistress Of The Evil Forest-A-H 2: Devourer of Worlds.
''Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one.''
Was that the quote?
That seems like something I should say at moments like this. I have to express my arrogance in plain words and make them sound convincing, after all. That kind of impression is easier to create in other mediums as compared to this... but I digress.
I have been waiting for too long. Is it because this outcome is something I truly desire? A dozen millennia or two was nothing before this, but just a little over a thousand years has gotten me so restless.
''What are you muttering to yourself all of a sudden?''
''Ah, Neveah.''
Amidst the swirling reality and the petals of divinity cutting through each leaf of Zircon Forest, as I walk toward my enemy, the young goddess silently joins me on the side.
''You and I have known each other for a while,'' I reply. ''I am most certain you remember my excitement.''
''...Well, yeah.''
Looking ahead, the young dragon is already waiting for me so patiently—no, its manipulator is. I was powerless then, but now... I can at least give HIM a good beating.
Ah, I hope he gets really hurt.
Letting my enthusiasm take over my body like that, and with any limiter completely removed, I unknowingly phase through space and arrive at the top of the tall tower.
Crimson light and warped divinity shower my existence.
''Hah... you...''

''Hm? You guys are still hanging on?''
Surprisingly, even after that transformation, these humans are still conscious. I suppose they're not called the strongest among mortals for nothing.
Among them, the two men appear the most puzzled at my arrival. The woman with ice magic seems more dumbfounded, and the little one... she's in quite a bad condition. She did protect the others, after all.
And then... 'her' two subordinates are unconscious.
''Becky, where were you until now...? And that person...'' The cold woman gasped, holding the little girl in her arms.
''...''
Predictably, Neveah doesn't give an answer. She keeps gazing high at the sky—at her once beloved companion, Yggdrasil.
''I'll do it. Is it still fine?'' I ask.
''...Go ahead. It's... something we've decided.''
Once again, her orange eyes are hidden behind those round glasses, but I can roughly guess what she's going through right now. Nonetheless, it is just as she said—it is my job to put an end to this creature.
''What a pitiful existence.''

With ease, my body slowly levitates into the air, bending senses and space in the process. I gaze straight into HIS immense pupil, an insatiable power swells within my veins.
As if responding to that, the dragon lets out a bellowing grunt.
One, two. A few hundred magic circles plunge through the air, pointing at my sole body. If released, the amount of energy stored in those formations should be enough to eviscerate a city. Moreover, since that magic isn't going through the system, one can expect a much more gruesome sort of destruction.
Oh, but I'm going off track here.
Normally, facing this would be quite terrible. It is why I am here instead of 'her.'
Raising my hand, I lightly point a finger at my enemies, ''Have you ever seen...
...a black hole?''
Heeding my command, the swirling mass inside me pours into the sky, collapsing before the beast's head to become an immovable, indestructible, and utterly perfect thing—a black hole.
Dust, leaves, rubbles, twigs, sound, sight, scent, mana, divinity, existence—everything that the mind can conceive begins to spiral into the singularity.
In front of the absolute, nothing stands a chance.
As the world distorts into a jumbled mess and the dragon's silhouette, together with its magic, trickles into the infinite void, I feel a primordial delight in me.
Laughing in the vacuum, I utter, even if no one can hear it, ''Now you know—that I am the Destroyer of Worlds, the Devourer of Gods—''
''The incarnation of Nihility.''
Snap.
With a snap of my fingers, the insatiable beast curtly vanishes from reality, leaving behind an anomalously deformed terrain and a crippling dragon.
It isn't dead. I made sure not to kill it.
Neveah should thank me for holding back. Though, a part of it is actually my not wanting to waste too much power.
''...Thank you.''
Hovering past me like that, she softly whispers. It seems she wants to reunite with her companion, who has now reverted to its humanoid form to maintain life.
Deciding not to bother with it, I turn back to the floating sphere of flesh in the sky.
HIS eye is now visibly enraged, each ounce of meat throbbing rashly to funnel more of that disgusting blood to the eyeball. From the looks of it, won't that thing turn into an abomination soon?
Even in this dome, where outside interferences are bounded, a true calamity would befall if HE chose to be serious. I suppose that existence was wary of Neveah until now.
Well, none of that matters anymore.
Since I'm here.
''Now then, what will you do?'' I utter in a calm, even tone. ''For something as corrupted and repulsive as you, for something filled with nothing but hatred and a will for mayhem, your end will be just as spiteful.''
My words aren't backed by anything special. Yet, with how fixated HE is on me, I am sure my message has gotten through. And as if responding to that, a crushing, squeezing sound of flesh being torn apart and mended together rings in the air.

For the first time, HE speaks. HE speaks in an incomprehensible screech that is nothing but painful to the human ears, almost akin to a ghost's howls, collapsing stars, or raining plasma.
Hm... I guess you wouldn't understand if I said it like that.

''How utterly vexing you are.''
Letting out a sigh, I feel the desire to end it all surging in me. Truthfully, I gain nothing from idling around like this.
So... here it goes.
''...It's been a long time. Here, let me call upon you again—''
Turning to the high, high sky—to the space beyond this continent's ceiling—I shape my intent and shoot it out to the distant void.
Three seconds.
Rumble.
Rumble.
The world starts to shake violently. With each reverb passing, the continent as a whole quakes. The earth seethes in pain, howling as if being gripped and coiled around.
[■̵̧̠̞̂̀̽̈́■̸͓͍̂̿̐͝■̸͚̂̃̾■̶̨̻̜͍̗́͌̄ͅ!]
This time, the ceiling cracks. Tiny pieces of glass gently fall, perhaps wanting to run away from what is to come.
And soon, HE feels it.
The eye, quivering and shuddering, turns around.
''Leviathan.''
