Awakening as a Wrecking Ball

A blinding flash of light, then an ear-splitting roar…then instantaneous devastation that leaves nary a tree branch smoldering in the dirt. Is this the fury of an angry god? No, but something close, something mortal that can create divine devastation. It is a gift perhaps granted by the gods themselves, but a gift that they must now regret bequeathing unto man.

The Launcher who can declare “I shall see light and bring to it darkness”…that is a Launcher who has awakened into a Wrecking Ball. Wrecking Ball is a legendary title belonging to the one who annihilated the Dragon’s army squadron during the Mechanical Revolution. It is the name given only to the most highly regarded Imperial Guard. It is the name of the one who serves, with power and authority, as a commander to the gods.

Awakening as an Destroyer

The Empyrean army, short on supplies, was on the run. The moral of the soldiers was as bad as the devastated farmland.
Soldiers had to grab their weapons without time to heal their wounds. Human and weapons were exhausted altogether.
‘Wouldn't it be better to give up on this lost cause already?’ Such conversation was common. One unit got itself annihilated by distrusting their commander.
However, Empyrean leaders were not watching idly.
They chose among the Wrecking Balls those who were most firm and skilled in combat, and secretly trained them. It was an operation temporarily risking their defenses. Of course, they were all given weapons that were newly developed with everything they had.
Their intense training made even drill instructors shudder. But with mission of defending Empyrean on their mind, nobody was giving up on it [training].
The moment before the last defensive line was to collapse, there were reinforcements who barely made it. Despite the [commander’s] words of ‘Thanks for your help, but it’s too late to change anything,’ they calmly went out into battle with their weapons in hand.
Under the dark sky of dawn, a counterattack had began. A fire that was brighter than the rising star started to light up the sky.
Soldiers, kneeling down helplessly with an empty clip, raised their heads. The sight of the Destroyers, who were single-handedly swinging their heavy weapons that looked like others couldn't even lift up, was the sight of the heroes that everyone was waiting for.
They [Destroyers] were strong and trustworthy, and merciless toward enemies.
The eyes of soldiers started to fill with awe. Tired officers regained their courage.
With all personnel moving to their positions, someone started shouting out loud.
‘This war is not over yet!
As long as we have the Destroyers annihilating all enemies in our path, we will stand up once again and fight!’
