# Chapter 35: God of Ruin
The sun rose over a transformed world. Ruins, once chaotic and fragmented, now resonated with Kael's dominion. Cities, towns, and wastelands alike trembled under the invisible weight of his power. Crimson energy pulsed across the continent, shadows shifting and coiling as extensions of the God of Ruin's will.
Kael stood atop the highest peak in the central city, crimson aura blazing like a storm against the sky. The Codex throbbed with infinite energy, having absorbed the strength of every faction, every army, and every soul that dared resist him. Lyra stood beside him, awe-struck, her staff glowing faintly as she observed the scale of Kael's transformation.
"Kael… you've done it," Lyra whispered, voice tinged with reverence. "Every challenge, every army, every shadow in the world… they've been absorbed by you. You've become… something beyond comprehension."
Kael's crimson eyes glimmered, predatory and sharp. "I am beyond men, beyond factions, beyond resistance. I am chaos incarnate, dominion perfected, the God of Ruin. Every corner of this world bends to me. Every shadow, every life, every ounce of energy… belongs to me."
*Skill Progress: Apex of Chaos — Level 2*
*Skill Progress: God of Ruin Ascension — Level 4*
*Skill Progress: World's Obedience — Level 3*
*Skill Unlocked: Absolute Godhood — Complete mastery over energy, matter, and will within the post-apocalyptic world.*
From the shattered cities to distant wastelands, the Codex's influence spread like a heartbeat. Soldiers who had once fought valiantly now knelt instinctively; leaders who had resisted crumbled, their defiance neutralized by the mere presence of Kael. The world, once chaotic and divided, now vibrated with a singular, undeniable truth: the God of Ruin was supreme.
Lyra exhaled, eyes wide. "Kael… this… this is absolute. There is no one left. No force, no faction, no magic that can oppose you."
Kael's grin widened, crimson energy spiraling outward in a brilliant display that illuminated the continent. "Exactly. There is only dominion. There is only the God of Ruin. All resistance, all fear, all hope—everything fuels me, strengthens me, and completes me. This world… is mine to shape, mine to command."
He raised his arms, crimson aura expanding, shadows stretching into colossal forms, debris twisting into impossible structures. The Codex pulsed violently, merging every particle, every life essence, and every fragment of energy into Kael's being. The ground itself trembled, rivers shifted, and the sky darkened with crimson light.
*Skill Unlocked: Omnipotent Dominion — Kael achieves near-absolute control over the post-apocalyptic world, able to reshape, command, or annihilate at will.*
Lyra stepped closer, voice filled with awe. "Kael… the world isn't just yours… it *is* you now. You've transcended everything. The God of Ruin… is complete."
Kael's eyes blazed like twin suns, energy spiraling outward, shadows weaving through the air like serpents of darkness. "Yes. I am complete. I am the beginning and the end, the storm and the calm, chaos and dominion. The God of Ruin is eternal. The post-apocalyptic world bends to me, and nothing will ever challenge this order again."
As the continent lay silent in reverent fear, Kael extended his hand, crimson energy cascading across the lands. Every city, every survivor, every fragment of chaos and life bowed to his presence. The Codex pulsed one final time, a resonance of completion, of absolute supremacy.
The apocalypse had forged a new ruler. The God of Ruin had arisen—not merely to survive, not merely to conquer, but to embody power itself. And from the highest peak of a reshaped world, Kael Draven gazed across the lands, unchallenged, unstoppable, and eternal.
The world, broken and reborn, belonged to him. And in the crimson glow of dominion, the name Kael Draven would echo through eternity
: the God of Ruin.
