When we arrived in the 20th district it was surprisingly quiet and peaceful but that would soon change. I, Noro and the lackeys made our way to Antik which is probably the last resistance of ghouls in all of Japan which means that if we destroy them the country belongs to me and then it is only a matter of time before the other countries fall too. Now that I think about it I don't really know why I have such great hatred and contempt for humanity but then it became clear to me that All the World's Evil is a collection of negative emotions and wishes. It absorbs these and becomes stronger because I am merged with it. However, the more intense the wishes and emotions of the people are, such as shortly before their death or when they are extremely desperate, the more power I gain. But at the moment I only feel a slight or even no increase in my power which leads me to conclude that the number of people killed and driven to despair must be astronomical in order for my power to increase significantly. Well, let's see if I've found another method to increase my power by then, it'll still be a while before then anyway. So I concentrated on the here and now again and saw that we were in her street, it was fortified and I could see various groups of ghouls in outfits like one who only wore white suits, but my attention was drawn to none other than the father of my subordinate Eto. This time he was not yet in his Kakuja form so I could see an old, frail man coming towards me. "Dear Miss, would you mind going back and leaving us to live in peace?" "Hmm yes, I'll give you exactly one chance to surrender or die, decide wisely, are you ready to die for the people who would love to kill you?" There was silence for a moment before a girl with brown hair down to her shoulders suddenly came out, causing a commotion on the other side. "Hinami, what are you doing? They are the ones who are stopping us from living a peaceful life." shouted an unknown voice. "No, you're wrong, Toka. They freed us and took us out of the fear of dying at any moment. And as she said, are you really ready to sacrifice your life for her?" Then she continued walking without paying attention to them. Judging by the expressions on their faces, her words moved many people and so little by little more and more people left until only about a third of the previous number remained. When there was no movement on the other side, I pointed my finger at Yoshimura and said. "Kill them all but he is mine and now let the game begin." Then the battle began as the two sides attacked each other and shot at each other with various Ukaku Kagune while I and Yoshimura went to a more secluded place.

On the battlefield, Noro was seen fighting against Yomo and Ken and slowly gaining ground due to his strong regeneration and the incredible strength that was in him. However, that was not the only point where they lost, the weaker members were gradually overwhelmed by the number of enemies, with the Devil Monkeys and the Black Dogs suffering heavy losses. Hinami, on the other hand, only watched from a distance because she did not want to take part, but her friends decided that they wanted to try to stand up for the people even if it killed them and so it did not take long until only Noro and Ken were left, the two fought bitterly, but in the end Ken had much less combat experience than Noro, which combined with his regeneration and his strength ultimately resulted in Ken's death. Noro rammed a 30 centimeter thick kagune into his chest where his heart had been. He slowly fell to the ground and closed his eyes forever. Noro remained calm as always while the others celebrated their victory, what they didn't know was that this was only the beginning of many terrible battles.

When Yoshimura and I stood facing each other, I wanted to get it over with quickly, but first I had one more question. "Do you regret letting Eto down?" "I tried to protect her, but in the end I failed miserably and she became a monster just like you. Now we'll get it over with." "As you wish." He transformed into his Kakuja form and shot projectiles at me non-stop, but in the end it still didn't do anything. I dodged them long enough until I was right in front of him and with my hand I cut off his head cleanly. That should be my last thanks to him for making sure that I hit Eto, a quick and painless death. When I looked in the direction of the battle, I knew that it would soon be over too and decided to wait for the others from the 23rd district because that was what we had discussed.

Tatara and I are currently discussing how we want to split up. Tatara, I want to destroy the Washu family, you take care of Cochlea." "I don't care, now that I've taken my revenge on everyone who was responsible for my brother's death, I can now devote myself entirely to the Phoenix tree." "This is my Tatara, let's go." And so I made my way to the Washu family estate where there were a large number of guards, but they didn't keep me for long, a few stabs here, an axe kick there and most of them were so unrecognizable that not even their mothers could recognize them. When I entered the villa there was no one to be seen, so I went upstairs and looked for the cause of all my torment, I saw a double door that looked like the entrance to an office. What I found inside made me more than happy, because there you could see the head of the Washu family, Kichimura Washu, the CCG's puppet master, only he looked completely confused, even half crazy. "You maggots have ruined my life's work, I will eat you very slowly and enjoy your screams." "Hey, do you think an ant that has hidden in the shadows all its life would have a chance against me? Keep dreaming." With his scream, the fight I had been waiting for all my life began and I had to admit that he was incredibly strong. He could have defeated my previous self, but now I was different. When we clashed our kagunes against each other, I could clearly feel that I was winning the test of strength. He must have realized that too, so he came closer and tried to drive me into a fight with fists, which suited me very well, however, as I began to deliver a barrage of blows to his face and upper body. When he fell to the ground, I jumped on him, grabbed an arm while I held his chest to the ground with my foot and then I started to pull. He let out a bloodcurdling scream as his flesh and tendons separated from his body. But I was far from finished, so I carried on until only his head was still attached to his torso. "You know, seeing yourself in such a pitiful state is really a beautiful sight, but do you want to know what I would like even better?" I bend down to him as I grasp his head with both hands, he could only scream in horror when he realized what was going to happen next. I began to apply pressure while I laughed and said, "Holding your head in my hand." And so I pulled his head from his shoulders with a jerk, looking into his eyes that were streaming with tears and slowly losing their life. After a minute I threw my head in the corner and left the property to return to my mistress who had made my dream come true. Tatara must also be finished with the cochlea, so we can set off and change the world according to Artoria Alter's vision.

It took 2 days until a large part of the phoenix tree had gathered, but when the time came, 30,000 ghouls stood in front of me and waited for my next words. "Ghouls of Japan, I, your savior, have managed to wrest the first nation from the humans with your help and thus establish the first ghoul nation, but how long will something like this last? The other nations will attack us and destroy us with their numbers. So we only have one choice: we have to get to them first and wipe all the other countries off the map. They are not nearly as well armed to kill you and the other oppressed ghouls will be only too happy to help us. That's why 95% of our forces will land in Asia in 2 months and start clearing the streets of people so that one day there will only be ghouls." They applauded and praised me, but what very few people knew was my plan behind it all, but it took a while for it to come into effect. "From this moment on, people are our mortal enemies. We will kill everyone we see and they will try to kill us." More shouting, but well, many will not live long enough to think about the consequences anyway, and so the great war of annihilation began.

The war has been going on for 2 years now and there was no end in sight. When the big offensive began we had the absolute advantage, but that changed over time and we suffered more and more losses, but we could not and would not give in. We even started fighting for control of most of the islands in the world and it was going very well for us overall. I just couldn't handle the many losses that followed this victory. I have also become a leader thanks to my good tactical skills and apparently because the queen has shown interest in me. She is rarely seen and then only to destroy a fortress with one blow. My clothes had also changed after joining Phoenix tree. Now I wore a black robe with a black visor that covered everything above my mouth, a bit like the one Artoria always wears. (the outfit from season 3) Back to the topic, we have now advanced into the middle of Europe and the people are still holding out hard but at some point they will run out of steam before us and so another 3 years passed. I did gain more and more favor from the queen but the many years of slaughtering people made me skeptical about Artoria's goals. She seems to care little to not at all about the situation of the soldiers who die for us but thank god the end of the war is not far off because only a part of the USA was left of the whole world. Before I could think further about planning the best possible attack, Eto entered, or as she was mostly known, "Warbeast" and she had this title for a reason, because over the years she was always on the front lines leaving only mutilated corpses behind. Before I could think further, she told me to follow her because the queen wants to see her. As we walked, I realized that it was very strange that Eto and Artoria still look the same as they did 5 years ago while I am now 19 years old. I could ask her about that because we had arrived at the largest tent in the camp. As I entered, Eto stayed at the door while I moved on to the throne on which the most powerful person in the world sits. As I approached her, she raised her head and looked at me through her visor until she spoke. "It seems like this war is about to end and we both know what will happen, since almost all humans have been wiped out, the ghouls will start fighting each other until nothing is left." I sigh, I've known that for a long time, but I've seen what happened to people who thought differently or were traitors, so I could only take the path forward. "Yes, but what good does that do you? In the end, you too will perish." "That's not true. By then, I'll be somewhere else entirely."
