[True Skill: Annunaki Oblivion]
[Level: 30]
[Description:] The Host summons a massive black sphere of hyper-dense nanobots and abyssal energy—a living void that devours everything in its path. Anything caught within its soul, whether solid, energy, or even space itself, is rewritten into absolute nothingness.
[Singularity Detonation:] The Host can also collapse the singularity itself at will, causing an ancient explosion that wipes everything in a massive radius—leaving behind only the void!
[IMPORTANT WARNING:] THIS SKILL DOES NOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN ENEMY AND ALLY! IF THE HOST IS CAUGHT WITHIN HIS OWN SKILL, HE WILL BE ERASED TOO!
This was Ryuk’s ultimate card.
If the battle was one he couldn’t win, if he was certain of defeat—then why not simply wipe everything out?
Everything!
Immediately, the ball of darkness extended toward the gigantic blade that cleaved downward, and in an instant, they collided.
The ball, tiny and almost nothing compared to the colossal blade, should have been instantly ripped apart, reduced to nothing upon meeting the blade’s edge.
Yet everything came to a chilling pause.
The entire world, along with its entirety, stood still.
Ryuk’s smile remained frozen on his face, his most angered expression locked in place—until suddenly, everything was erased to ashes.
The edge of the sword slowly faded away like embers drifting in the wind, leaving nothing but the void of darkness.
It spread, consuming the giant wielding the blade, reducing him to a thousand fragments before he too faded into dust.
But it didn’t end there.
The darkness spread through the air, the space hidden beyond, extending toward the hundreds of armies like a gently slithering snake.
It passed through their existence, and the moment it touched them, they all faded into nothing—until the entire battlefield, for as far as Ryuk could see, was enveloped in cracks of abyssal blackness.
Soon, everything faded into nothing.
From the point of Ryuk’s figure, the lines of darkness also began extending toward him, inching closer with every breath.
They slithered over his body, consuming the space around him.
Slowly, Ryuk, too, began to fade.
CREEEEEAAAAK.
Suddenly, a creaking sound rang out from the lines of darkness in the air. It was as if the very atmosphere had been placed under a horrifying pressure.
And then—
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The darkness that had devoured everything erupted into a singular, ancient explosion.
And in that moment—nothing remained.
The battlefield, the armies, the very land itself—all of it was gone, leaving behind only a vast, abyssal void where thousands once stood.
Not a single soul was spared.
Everything had collapsed into the Oblivion.

"Where?"
"Where am I?"
Ryuk muttered to himself as he felt control over his body return. In the next instant, his eyes snapped wide open.
He looked around frantically, finding a grassy field beneath him. Immediately, he rose to his feet, his eyes flashing with wariness.
He halted abruptly, however, as he noticed a figure.
A figure with long blue hair that trailed on the ground behind her.
Her facial features were hidden from him, but in her hands was a watering can, and around her were lush gardens where blue flowers danced to the wind.
Clad in a green robe, her figure seemed to somehow blend with her surroundings—almost as if she was part of them.
FLUTTER.
The gentle sound of wings filled the air as a butterfly drifted toward Ryuk.
He instinctively waved it away before returning his gaze to the mysterious woman.
"Who are you?" he asked cautiously, though his mind was already racing.
’What happened? I unleashed the Annunaki Singularity, and everything suddenly went pitch black... Then I appeared here. What went wrong? Did I defeat the Warlock of Eternal War?’
Ryuk pondered the gaps in his memory, his thoughts blurry. But his attention was immediately drawn back as the woman slowly ceased watering the garden.
She turned toward him.
For a split second, he stood frozen.
The person before him was, in fact, a very beautiful young lady. Likely around 19 or 20 years old.
A small smile adorned her peach red lips, nestled perfectly on her glass skinned white oval-shaped face, yet when Ryuk looked into her eyes, a cold shiver ran down his spine.
Within them were intertwining layers of blue, pulsating pyramid-like patterns that shifted constantly.
"Congratulations on passing all the tests in this realm," she said, her voice calm.
"And I?... Let’s just say, I designed this realm myself."
As she spoke, the watering can in her hand faded into thin air. She slowly walked toward Ryuk.
He took an instinctive step back when she was about ten meters away.
She noticed but ignored it, continuing forward until she was just a few inches from him.
Her eyes locked onto his dual-colored irises before her lips moved
"You have many questions, don’t you?" she asked.
Ryuk nodded.
"Then come. Let’s go for a small walk..."
She gestured for him to follow and passed by his side.
Ryuk hesitated, his gaze flickering between her and the vast unknown beyond.
He wasn’t sure whether to obey or ignore her, but in the end, he eventually followed.
Together, they walked through the grassy plains, with nothing but the ever-changing fields of flowers and the fluttering of colorful butterflies in sight.
"This realm was fashioned by me," the woman explained as they continued through the field.
"Its primary purpose is to find one who can bring an end to the spawn of the Eternal Warlock of War."
"The Beast Area was the first test," she continued. "That was done purposefully. If one couldn’t even reach the peak of the hierarchy of the beasts, their chances of defeating the spawn were non-existent—as you clearly saw in the City of Bones."
"Those truly were the thousands of test-takers who have failed, mostly due to ignorance and slow thinking."
"After the body is destroyed, one must then face the Eternal Warlock of War himself in another battle. None have passed before—except you. In fact, you’re the first at all."
"Your attack was also the most powerful of all. It directly countered the Warlock of War’s power, completely erasing his existence and fully crushing his minions. Thus, ensuring his absolute defeat."
She explained, but Ryuk only felt more confused.
"And with the test passed, you were brought here. Do you understand?"
