"Here for MadWhite, you say?"
The voice suddenly resounded through the sky.
Ryuk, amidst the chaos beneath him, heard the clear sound of footsteps, and his instincts instantly sharpened.
It was like a strange pulse of energy rippling toward him.
His eyes flashed to an area of the pyramid, where he watched a figure slowly throw away a heavy rock blocking his ascent upwards toward Ryuk.
The huge gem rock flashed forth with speed toward Ryuk, its sheer movement sending waves splintering through the air.
An intense amount of flames suddenly burst forth, but arriving a meter before Ryuk, it halted in the air—completely still—even though its flames continued to burn.
And in the next instant…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The rock exploded into nothing, sending debris flying across the area.
And finally, he saw who it was.
A towering figure of sheer presence.
A long, jet-black-haired man, standing at an astonishing 3.8 meters, a height almost twice that of Ryuk, even though he himself was already a freaking 2 meters tall.
His jet-black hair cascaded past his broad shoulders, its silky strands flowing like a river of shadow with every subtle movement. The edges of his hair levitated into the air.
His face was strikingly well-defined, but what truly caught Ryuk’s attention were his icy black eyes.
They were as deep as the void itself, holding an unfathomable depth of death—a silent dread that crept upon whoever they fell upon.
Draped in a fitted, sleeveless dark fabric that accentuated his flowing presence, the man held no brutishness in his demeanour.
Yet, it was clear at first glance that he was, without a doubt, a Titan.
In fact, he was an inhumane Titan, yet a gentleman in every presence.
But Ryuk wasn’t fooled.
He could see it—the waves radiating from his bulging physique, the subtle but monstrous force lurking beneath his composed exterior.
This man was a presence of unfathomable strength.
"To think... there would be one as young as you, yet holding such bravery. Especially amongst the human race, who are not exactly known for their top-tier courage."
The man’s voice carried an air of amusement as he slowly rose to Ryuk’s level, but he didn’t stop there.
Instead, he levitated even higher—until he was two meters above him, looking down at him from the bottom of his nose.
Ryuk raised an eyebrow.
"You know, MadWhite has been arrested many times by various races."
"But one way or the other, there is always some reckless fool who comes to free his ass."
"Unfortunately, most of them end up dead, with only MadWhite escaping alive in the end."
The man let out a low chuckle before continuing.
"And now here you are."
"Tell me, do you all never learn your lesson? You keep dying for MadWhite, who keeps living—feeding off your deaths while he just leaves the moment, he reaches safety?"
His gaze turned colder.
"Do you stupid humans ever learn at all?"
His once gentlemanly aura now twisted into one of disdain.
Ryuk, however, did nothing but watch him run his mouth, his expression unchanging.
Even Yitro, after he finished cursing, felt a shiver creep down his spine seeing Ryuk giving the same dumb look.
Then, Ryuk finally spoke.
"Are you done?"

The instant those words left his mouth, the man’s gaze contorted, and the space around him began to undulate—like air set aflame.
His expression twisted into a murderous one.
"You stupid humans never learn… not until you’re a few inches from death. No doubt, it will be a pleasure to watch you cocky bastard of a face get smashed in with my—"
SLLLAAAAAAAAAAAP!
A shocking sound reverberated through the entire area.
The surrounding Titans watching the holographic projection of Ryuk and Yitro’s confrontation suddenly froze as they saw—
Two Ryuks.
One still standing where he was with the same blank expression.
And the other...
Standing where Yitro had been.
But where was Yitro?
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A part of the pyramid exploded inward as a figure crashed uncontrollably, sending almost the entire structure collapsing over itself.
As the dust settled, it revealed a pathetic looking individual.
His once-pristine face was now swollen beyond belief, with five clear finger marks imprinted across his cheek.
Yitro’s eyes bulged uncontrollably, his mind racing as his fingers shakily traced over his cheek, feeling the raw, burning imprint.
And then it hit him.
"I... I got slapped away from the air!?"
Ryuk watched, arms folded, as Yitro’s face contorted endlessly, undergoing hundreds of changes before finally settling on just one.
Rage!
Billowing rage.
The kind of rage that made Yitro look like the incarnation of a demon.
CRAAAAACCKKKKLLLLEEEE!
CRAAAAACCKKKKLLLLEEEE!
The sound of cracking lightning resounded.
Ryuk slowly turned his gaze up—just in time to see a dark point appear deep in the sky before—
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!
The air split apart as a gigantic beam of pitch-black lightning rushed downward with terrifying speed, flashing toward Ryuk.
He sidestepped, evading it by three meters, watching as the lightning obliterated Yitro’s position.
Smoke covered the area.
But then—
A deep, enraged voice cut through the veil of dust.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR INSOLENCE WITH YOUR DEATH!"
Yitro shoved himself out of the rubble, his eyes burning with unfiltered fury.
Then, suddenly—
A gigantic fist, seemingly charred and covered in ashes, came crashing down toward Ryuk at terrifying speed—
So massive, it covered his entire field of vision, leaving nothing but the fist.
Ryuk’s eyes flickered.
"Seems like the slap wasn’t a waste…"
The space before him instantly hardened with his will, massively slowing the fist’s descent.
But then—
SHATTTERRRRR!
His will barrier crumbled into nothing, cracks spreading all over it like shattered glass.
The attack was still coming.
Ryuk took three steps back, his palm coiling over with frost, and soon…
A gigantic hammer of pure ice, nearly 50 meters in length, materialized in his grasp.
Then, Ryuk lunged forward—
The massive Ice Hammer slamming downward toward the incoming fist!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
