NGJ Chapter 101: {Disaster Death} (Patreon)

Without hesitation I clicked yes, along with that came the feeling of my technique asserting itself on the very fabric of reality.

The ability to start over new.

Becoming a new being entirely.

I concentrated on the very fabric of my being as I remembered the steps I first took upon arriving here. My achievements should be sufficient this time, right?

_____________________________

And the list went on. With my accomplishments, I could basically pick any race but I also knew that equivalant exchange would occur. My system was able to so so much by converting my karma but there was a limit. I couldn't expect to keep everything I had if I chose to become an angel for example.

Obviously, the best option here was Dragon. After all the world WAS named Dragonic Deus.

But.

Come on.

I can do better than that.

I sat down cross-legged, the void around me that was once the source of all my paranoia, fears and apprehensions now felt warm and comfortable now I embraced it.

I put a hand on my chest.

I felt everything I had, everything I had accomplished, and every technique I had gained and developed converge and cooperate under my command.

I knew what I wanted become.

I knew what I could become.

I knew what I was.

The thing that defined my existence. The thing that defined Akira.

I closed my eyes.

...

Death was no stranger to me.

It has loomed over me like the scythe of a reaper my entire life.

I had brushed with death dozens of times from my weak lungs. It prevented me from being fully alive my entire life, always on the edge of life and death.

I had seen my mother die.

I had beaten my uncle to death myself.

I had died before.

Death was what created the person known as Akira Gojo.

Death was always an integral part of my life. I can't escape from it, I can only embrace it.

Death is ruthless, it takes mother from child, it takes wife from husband. It takes child from parent.

Yet Death is not cruel. It does not revel in your suffering. It is the end and nothing more.

In front of Death, all is equal.

I saw a vision in front of my eyes, the card that represented death. The arcana of death.

XIII - Death

An armoured skeleton riding a pure white horse holding up a white flag.

The meaning of transformation, endings, change, transition, letting go, release.

I used {Create Undead} to raise my decayed soul from the brink.

I used {Cursed Energy Reinforcement} to its utmost to limit to reinforce my technique.

I used {Pain Killer} to stall the decay of my existence.

And lastly, I felt the palm of my hand against the shape of my soul.

Using {Idle Transfiguration} with absolutely everything I had. I removed the limiters that remained in my soul.

I removed every single boundary in my soul, letting it bare against the entire world, the entire void, there remained nothing separating my soul from the world itself.

A searing pain beyond any ran across my existence but my mind remained firm.

{Convergence}

With nothing limiting it, nothing stopping it I let my existence turn into the shape it desired. I let myself die and be born a new.

Immediately, I felt something fill my open vessel.

An endless amount of malice, hatred, scorn, sadness, agony, ranchor, and vehemence was unleashed on my soul. I felt my mind nearly break under the pressure but I held firm with all I had.

I felt it.

The negativity of all beings. Their hatred.

Almost all beings in existence capable of thought feared death or hated death.

Even gods were not safe from death, even Odin himself feared death.

I felt millions of sights flash before my eyes.

Burning, disease, decay, rot, hanging, stabbing, heart attack, stroke, poison, bludgeoning, bleeding, breaking, falling, drowning, choking, starving, thirst, shock, electricity, earthquakes, crushing, biting...

Yet in spite of all of that I did not falter, I embraced it, not fearing. I let the cursed into my dead body, I let them into my souls, I let them change my soul.

Using Idle Transfiguration I guided these curses to transform into my true form.

I felt it take effect almost instantly, the sensation of my spellbook disappearing within me. The void in its place getting filled with power instead. I did not need such a crutch anyway.

Now, it was time.

It was time to condense all of it.

I felt all of the malice that flooded my soul this instant. The biggest points of light in my body. My innate cursed technique chosen for me, the one that I built everything around.

Let's do this.

I did not even need to give the system my confirmation as it worked off my will.

Instantly I felt the endless malice inside me, the scattered points of light unify, I no longer felt the overbearing hatred, instead, I felt all of my necromancy abilities unified into one singular ability.

An ability so far beyond the scope of any of them.

The ability to manipulate death itself.

And now that ability had taken root in the core of my soul I felt my soul resume its metamorphosis. Synergizing it with idle transfiguration my Gamer technique carried out the process.

The shape, the core of my soul changed, I felt attuned to the very itself. A  strange sort of affinity with the world around me emerged. If I just thought about it I could tap into the very malice of the world itself.

The shell of a soul that maintained the shape of a human fell away.

In its place, a new entity was born.

A being that was never seen before.

A disaster to the world beyond any compare.

The fear, hatred, animosity, and negativity all things held toward Death itself made manifest.

A primal force of nature.

Death itself had taken shape.

Finally, my body settled down, and my soul solidified having finished its metamorphosis.

It was time to move.

♢—•♦•—♢—•♦•—♢—•♦•—♢

No one could do anything but look on blankly.

Rias has a glassed-over look in her eyes. Staring at Akira's corpse with the lances sticking out of his body. Looking at Kokabiel standing over his corpse with a feral she felt her power of destruction violently rage within her body, but just as she was about to do something.

Something happened.

Under the shocked gaze of everyone, the dying body of Akira crumbled away, like dry clay peeling off of a statue.

And from beneath the guise of a human emerged a figure.

A giant undead, its height reaching over 2 meters, it had a demonic skull that moved like a face with two black horns adorning it, red flames dancing in the sockets of it in the place of eyes.

Continuing under the skull the body was large, made up of blackened muscle fibers coalescing into a muscular towering shape. Its arms and legs were covered by red armour that was simply a part of its body, lastly, a tattered black cloak hung from its shoulders.

Day turned to night.

The stars turned green.

The clouds become black.

A great calamity beyond any compare had descended upon the world.

A/N: Akira has finally changed his race, having overcome his mental limits he has entered metamorphosis. Becoming an entity that is beyond the normal understanding of DxD. He is not a god of death, he is the literal embodiment of the concept. He is truly no longer shackled by the bounds of humanity.

Also, for anyone that wants a reference to what he looks like I based it off Astaroth from [Love Advice from the Great Duke of Hell]

Finally, here is something you guys have been waiting for for a while now. Here is Akira's current status.
