The sound was that of metal crashing straight into metal as Ryuk's eyes bulged in the thickest when he watched the hand wrap around his steel scythe with so much power it was enough to hang him into the air along with his weapon—but that wasn't what was most shocking.
CRACCKKK
The sound of the sharp crack resounded through the entire hall as Ryuk watched cracks begin snaking through the sharp edge of his scythe, and then—
BOOOMMMMMMMMMMM
An explosion of Nanobots and Dark energy erupted as the Fractured scythe was instantaneously shattered apart, the man's hand crushing it fully
VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
In the next instant, Ryuk smashed out his feet like thunder toward the side of the man's face.
His hair whipped around his head from the force, yet before it could connect—
CLAAANNNGGG
The sound of metal crushing into metal resounded once more as Ryuk felt his leg grabbed by the man's grasp, and then—
CRUUUUUUUNNNCCCCCHHHH
"Argggh!"
A groan of pain left his lips as he felt his leg being crushed to nothing under that incredible death grip.
He quickly kicked the second leg toward the man's face, but then—it was also grabbed by the gauntleted hand just before it could reach.
"Hehehe."Ryuk's body hung still in the air, held under the man's grasp, as he watched the man slowly turn his eyes to meet his and laugh devilishly.
"You've never fought before, have you?" he asked as Ryuk felt the iron grip increase by hundreds of times, watching as one leg was instantly crushed into nothing.
He clenched his teeth as he forcefully detached his own legs and shot backward with speed, walking backward on his arms before he jumped into the air, two new pairs of legs bursting to form from his empty stumps before he landed on his feet.
Looking toward the man, he watched as his gauntlets lit up with red light before—
CRUUUUSSSSSHH
The sound of crushing resounded as Ryuk's feet was pulverized, dissolving into nothing but Nanobots that fell down to the ground before mysteriously evaporating.
"Poor attempt. Try harder," the man said as Ryuk watched him fold one of his legs onto the other before his chin came to rest before his hands, looking at Ryuk with a faint excitement—as if waiting for what he had to show next.
'His grip strength is beyond anything.'
'He literally crushed apart my Abyssal Reaper Scythe with just a hard clench and even crushed my feet with his strength.'
'It must have something to do with those red gauntlet of his, Ryuk thought in his head as his gaze furrowed and his eyes focused.
"I'll end it this time."
"Activate: Sovereign of Eternal Frost!"
In the next instant, a deep wave of coldness appeared in the room as the temperature began massively dropping until it turned absolutely cold and the world began turning to frost.
But when the frost reached five meters from the throne, they mysteriously evaporated, refusing to advance further.
The warrior's eyes remained on Ryuk's form, watching as it already began changing.
From the veil of Nanobotic covering to his skin opening up, until it became as translucent as glass, the entire world around Ryuk becoming a frost-clad domain—but that wasn't all.
"Activate: Frozen Physique!"
The cold surrounding the room seemed to increase by a couple dozen as the temperature dropped harder and then—
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
Two more arms tore out from beneath Ryuk, making a total of four before blue tattoos began appearing over his hands and legs reaching up to his shoulders and knees, as his strength hummed up even more—and the warrior's eyes flashed.
"Now, this is interesting..." he said as he watched Ryuk exhale loudly, intense ice-cold air expanding from his lungs before his hands stretched to the side.
Quickly, an object began forming.
Four Ice daggers appeared in Ryuk's grasp.
But then, around him, other hundreds of ice daggers all began appearing in the air, formed from the frost oozing out from him until they reached about 500, covering the entire space around Ryuk.
"Now, that's real fancy," the man said as Ryuk shot forward toward him, along with his multitude of ice daggers.
But then his eyes flashed as he watched the man rise from his reclining posture before he reclined on his seat and then stretched out his right hand toward him.
As Ryuk was charging forward, it slowly folded into a fist, and then it jerked backward as an intense wave of blood-red wound around the gauntlet—and then he punched forward toward Ryuk.
In the next instant, Ryuk's rapidly approaching figure instinctively slammed his leg to the side and prepped to shoot past the side—when his face changed as he felt himself unable to move sideways.
'It can't be dodged!?' He screamed in his head before he instantly stopped, forcing his front legs to smash into the ground and shooting backward, sending all of his daggers flying toward the punch.
KAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A thunderous explosion resounded.
The ice daggers all slammed against the large impact of the fist that was approaching, resulting in a smear of blood-red and steamy ice and explosion—but then…
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
A figure tore through the cloud of ice and blood-red mist as Ryuk appeared in an instant before the Titan man, his ice daggers closing in.
Yet his face changed as he looked at the man and noticed his hands had already jerked backward, as if waiting for him and then—
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE!" Ryuk roared out loud as he poured all of his energy, his runic blue tattoos flaring with all of their light, and he slashed out with all four Ice daggers toward the Titan—whose grin reached his ear as he punched outward toward Ryuk.
KAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
An incredibly loud and fiery explosion then shook the entire hall, and then—
VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Something came shooting out of the explosion, slamming into the ground a total of ten times before their momentum changed—and then—
BAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMM
They smashed into the wall of the hall, red blood bursting out of their lips, spraying into the air before they slowly slipped out from the wall, falling down unconsciously but managing to land on both knees.
The one who had fallen was none other than Ryuk himself, as his head hung down low.
Faintly turning his to look at his hands—he noticed all four of them remained nothing but a little stump, having been smashed into nothing.
And on Ryuk's chest was a deep crack, etched in crimson red, pulsing and sending pain gashing through his entire being.
"I lost."
