"But, I’ve always had my brain since the beginning?" Ryuk mused, perplexed, until she spoke.
"You were born with something only the purest of us Knulls possess," Eravel said, stretching her hands out.
"It’s called a Logic Core, an upper layer of intelligence even the brain cannot possibly imagine," she said.
"And you’re just gonna hand that to me?" he asked, halting his hand.
"Knull bestowed upon me your Logic Core, but... it was never mine to begin with."
"What isn’t mine isn’t something worth fighting for. Especially not to the one it logically belongs to," she responded, holding his hands and passing the core into his palms.
He turned to her, and his eyes shook as he saw it, silver droplets rolling from her eyes.
"But... but why?"
He asked, only to feel her embrace, her hands wrapping around him tightly as she buried her face on his shoulder, the tears raining down upon him.
"It was never meant to end like this..."
"It was supposed to be us..."
Eravel did not complete those words before she became ashes of silver dust that dispersed into the void, and in the end, there was just him, Ryuk, standing emptily in space, eyes lost.
His other hand consciously reached for his heart, and it was... colder, and silent.
"Even though I’ve gained this back... I feel like I’ve lost something I shouldn’t have," Ryuk mused, and in the next moment, he reacted.
His hands morphed into claws, slashing open a smooth line over his skull, revealing the gleaming white silhouette of his brain.
In the next moment, the golden gem was integrated with his brain, radiating a mixture of white and golden light before each perfectly merged.
In the next moment, Ryuk’s hands reached outward, and a white-silver-like sigil appeared in his right hand, while a golden sigil appeared in the other.
In that moment
CRAAACKKLLLEEE!
The sound of lightning could be faintly heard...
With his right eye silver white and the other burning golden,
"Reality Reversal: Unbecoming Time."
He called out, and in that instant, the world halted, then it zoomed.
Even though Ryuk stood by the side, both arms outstretched, he watched as the space before both sigils glowed, showing the image of him implanting the core into his brain.
Then it reversed, to him slashing open his head, and then reversed again to her fading into ashes, and then to her stepping forward to hug him.
When she stepped forward to hug him, he moved, taking the position of the Ryuk.
Eravel’s eyes displayed confusion as she watched Ryuk suddenly slash open his head, tearing out the logic core, before he passed it back into her.
"What...what is happening?" She asked in confusion.
She had remembered passing Ryuk the Logic core, but it was still in his hands.
He had never fused with it, and in that moment, she turned behind Ryuk only to find an image of the same Ryuk with both hands outstretched, fading into the Void.
"What did you do?"
Eravel asked, turning to Ryuk, whose eyes were flaring with both white and gold, only to fade in the next moment as they took a wholly purple hue.
His purple eyes stared into her silver eyes for a moment before he raised his head.
CRAACCKLLLLE!
That lightning was getting closer.
"I broke something I shouldn’t have..." Ryuk murmured, and in the next moment, he grabbed her hands as a rift appeared.
In the next moment, Eravel was flung into it.
"Ryuk..." she called out from the rift, reaching her hand out toward him, but her eyes widened in the next moment when she witnessed it:
A white-colored pillar of lightning, radiating an energy that she had never before witnessed, suddenly slammed into him.
But the rift was closed up just before the lightning could snake into it.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!
Space was ripped apart as Ryuk was thrown down through the void with insane speed.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOARRR!
An apocalyptic roar surged out from his maw, his body rapidly expanding until he became a hulking 1000-meter-tall devil.
Clenching both claws together, his legs smashed into space, warping reality from the insane physical power, and his body lurched forward, slamming upward with both fists.
KAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A massive explosion tore reality into nothing, unraveling dimensions as a powerful wave of Abyssal energy laced with white lightning blew everything apart.
BOOOOOOOOOM!
Ryuk’s legs smashed into the ground of the barren world, and it tilted roughly backward from the force of his slam.
[What was that!?]
The system notification panel blinked in bold before him as Ryuk looked down at both his hands.
There was nothing.
Nothing at all.
His two hands had been blown to ashes, leaving not even a bone.
His teeth clenched tightly as he felt a ravaging force ripping through his body and destroying him from within, a line of blood pouring from the corner of his devilish maw.
He raised his head, and his gaze pierced through the void.
There it was:
A divine being of white oozing with so much white light that his bodily feature was hidden.
All that he could see was its face, which had a total of six eyes, all of them pitch black, a contrasting colour to its white look, and they all gazed down upon Ryuk.
"You Have Broken His Law: Reversing Time And Bringing Alive A Being Who Has Been Written Dead,"
The Voice, like a thousand warriors roaring ,echoed through the void ,as something parted from the white light pointed at Ryuk.
BAADUUUMP!
His heart sank, all the hair on his skin rising upright, and in the next moment,
And in the next moment, there was nothing.
There was no void, no darkness — neither was there a world beneath his feet.
All there was... was a ripple of lightning snaking slowly through the Void.
’What is this?’
’This... overwhelming feeling.’
’Who is this?’
Ryuk thought, and in the next moment, the world around him darkened.
Just before it completely turned black, the words rang out once more:
"You Have Been warned!"
_______________
SPLASSSSH!
The sound of water splashing was all he could hear.
It appeared distant, but quickly it closed in, and in the next moment,
FLICCCKKKERR!
A flicker of light appeared from the depths of a waterfall, as a pair of eyes opened up.
’Come, Isha,’
It was the first thing that occurred to him, and in the next moment, a hulking ice dragon appeared in the air.
Her eyes stared at Ryuk, shock and disbelief crossing her face, but she moved, her claw whisking him from the water.
VROOOOOOM!
The air flapped once, and she disappeared into thin air, leaving nothing but frozen space in her passing.
________
"What... what happened to you!?"
On a snowy mountain 3,000 meters high into the air,
The words rang out, coming from a figure kneeling on the snowy surface, and in her arms lay a bizarre being.
One covered in bizarre runes of darkness, occasionally crackling with dark lightning.
It was Ryuk, and right now, he was...
[Host has been half-destroyed.]
