A Violent Extraction, a Fallen Chosen One, and the Witch Reborn!

In the ruins late at night, the wind carried the sharp smell of blood. Broken steel rods moaned softly in the breeze. Thick clouds covered the sky, leaving only a faint wash of moonlight. Ken Kaneki lay helpless on a cold heap of sand and rubble.

His wounds were severe, and warm blood kept pouring out. His vision had blurred, and the world was spinning. Rize Kamishiro's figure doubled before his eyes.

He could no longer think about why this had happened to him. A boundless chill swept through his body like a tide. At that moment...

Tobirama Uchiha stood at the center of the ruins, his white robes spotless. His right arm rested lightly around Rize Kamishiro's slender waist. She nestled obediently against the god.

Her long lashes trembled, her beautiful eyes full of adoration. "My lord, is it time?" Rize asked softly, without a trace of warmth in her voice.

Tobirama gave a slight nod, his expression indifferent. "I'll be borrowing the RC Origin Core inside you." As soon as he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand.

His fingers were long and immaculate. Hum. Dark purple ripples spread through the void.

The Great Empire's supreme law was awakening. The world's defensive rules sounded a frantic alarm. Countless bolts of red-black lightning fell from the void, trying to stop him.

But before absolute imperial might, those rules were as flimsy as cicada wings. Tobirama reached out, his fingers slipping through them as easily as water.

His right hand passed straight through layer after layer of barriers. Ignoring the defenses of her flesh, it sank into Rize Kamishiro's chest. She felt no pain.

She felt only a fierce, scorching power enter her body. The god's hand closed around the organ that held the very source of a Ghoul's power.
