Kate walked back to the ritual room, seeing the circles done and the Golemic Runeworkers waiting for their payment. She paid them in their preferred payment, adamantite ore, and sent them on their way. It's not like they'll live long enough to use it. To the left was Kor, sitting their flipping a bloodied gold coin, from the first battle we fought in after his summoning.
" I'll be serious with you here Katarina, if you do this there is no second chance, not like the others." Kor says, his baritone voice even lower than normal.
" I know Kor, but I stopped caring years ago, once I found out I couldn't save them." Kate says, melancholy in her voice, " I have lived for 15 years seeing their bodies in my dreams, them on those pikes as if they were never people, only inconveniences ready to be dealt with."
" This is the end Kor, either for me or for us all."
Kor stares at Kate, and for a minute thinks about ending it here, saving this wretched realm from an even worse monster that they created. But he doesn't and makes a final decision.
" To the end then Kate, to then end. I break our Binding, and fight with you until death takes my life and soul burns to ash." Kor declares, and magic spins around him, shattering invisible chains that both bound his free will and sealed his power. " Let me reintroduce myself. I am Kor'Anath, Secret Keeper, Great One, and servant of Ngyr-Korath, The Dream-Death. I shall fight with you until my final breath, and then serve you until my soul shatters into dust."
Kate just stands there, nods mutely, and says blankly, "Status."

" NO, NO, NO, NO, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!" Kate screams as several World Announcements begin.
[WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT: A MYTHIC CLASS HAS BEEN CHOSEN, RAISING WORLD LEVEL AND DIFFICULTY]
[WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT: KATARINA BELLVIEW, CURSED BY FATE AND ENEMY OF THE WORLD, HAS ACHIEVED THE WORLD BREAKER CLASS AND IS LOCATE-]
Kate closes all of the announcements at lightning speed as she scrambles to start the ritual. " The World Spirit comes in two hours as long as I am alive, not part of the plan but still works." She mumbles as she inputs the loop runes and spatial storage runes. " If I start this now, it'll purge eighty percent of the hunters on their way, up until level three hundred, and continue expanding until I've purged the world. At the rate it's going and exponential growth due to population centers, I'll dust at least seventy percent of the world population, and that should be enough to kill the World Spirit." She mumbles rapidly to herself, continuing the math on the expansion and soul to Mana ratio.
As she finishes mumbling, she starts the ritual, only for it to dust a level five hundred and fifty four hundred miles away.
" Huh, wasn't supposed to expand that quickly, Kor can you go deal with our intruders please, it looks like the angels send the archangels according to scanners."
" Yes I shall Katarina, can you activate the second floor for Holy to Eldritch Conversion? It would help me stall for time" Kor stated as he armored up in taratum, an alloy of adamantite, orichalcum, and Damascus steel.
" Already done, I'll have liches and reality eaters up there in ten via Planar portals." Kate says, casting a multitude of spells buffing him and his domain of madness.
" I head off to death then, may the Great Old Ones recognize me!" Kor shouts as he teleports to the second floor and rips the wings off of an archangel, immediately turning the wings into purple hand scythe that leave maddening bubbles of energy around.
Kate continues Summoning Greater Liches and Reality Eaters and planaring them to what is left of the surface and floors of her makeshift base. Reality Eaters Devour anything, making it look like a hollowed out beehive.
Finally, the ritual finished, it had scoured the entire planet in half the time, and left only the people level five hundred and fifty and above alive.
[WARNING, LIFE MEASURES CRITICAL. SUMMON OF WORLD SPIRIT HAS COMMENCED FOR ERADICATION OF WORLD ENDER]
Suddenly, all mana froze around Kate, and a Green Spirit that looks similar to a human, but is constantly shifting through hundreds of faces, of all different native races.
" To think you would go so far, just for two measly lives. For two children of zero worth, you slaughtered a world, and for what? Nothing." The spirit said, sounding as if thoughts of voices were overlapping, female and male voices combined. Kate could feel the pressure, but knew if she could speak the command phrase for the ritual she would win.
" So tell me little World Ender, do you think you can still win? Tell me, what do you think will win you this victory. I wish to see you despair as I stop it and you realize. That. All. Of. This. Was. Useless." It spoke, condescending and slow as if to it, Kate meant nothing more than time.
Finally, Kate was able to speak, and all she said was one thing, and it would doom all." This is from my Husband, Damien."
As soon as the activation word was said, over thirty lines of energy, coming from where each of the beings sacrificed for energy were turned to dust, hit the World Spirit. It dropped Kate and screamed, thousands of voices wailing in pain and terror, only to be snuffed out seconds later.
" It's over Damien, finally over…." Kate says, as she passes out and falls into the void.
