Chapter 18 - The one who defies the universe.

Before Ryuk was hit by Daniel in heaven...

The golden haired god was walking anxiously back and forth in front of two large palace doors. The doors opened and the blonde haired man walked in respectfully. "Three grandmaidens of fate, please grant my request! If he is able to cultivate again who knows what will happen to us, all of us!" He preached to three elderly women that all looked the same. "Riverbend god! Are you seriously intending to harm a junior who may or may not ascend? The cycle starts past karma is severed, so why are you so persistent on us killing him?" The old woman on the left argued very furiously, there was a tinge of guilt. "Sister what do you know! That man swore to us that he would kill all beings that were involved, that includes all their children. Are you really willing to gamble with moon eye, our precious grandchild?" The one on the Right intersected. "I divined about his rebirth. His talent is extremely abysmal, he has no resources, and the cultivation methods are all self devised and crude! All the boy has is an extreme profoundity into all matters related to cultivation. Furthermore if we are to die we are to die! Moon eyes destiny is extremely perverse and cannot be stopped even by that man." The left fought back. The middle sister finally spoke up, "we shall go along with the river bend gods wishes. As you said the childs Future in cultivation is incredibly arduous, we should just save him the pain and torment." The right sister hurrumphed at her left sister. The Riverbend god shook in excitement and gave out an ugly smile. "To interact with fate we need the assistance of 100 gods, and a god sacrifice" the middle sister expressionlessly said. The Riverbend god grimaced, but then proceeded to get what was needed. The Riverbend god left to ask for favors from many gods. The three sisters began to talk. "To need so much to just kill a mortal. Those damn saints!" The right sister spoke shaking her ancient head left and right wrinkles all over her face. "The dust gods karmic merit is high even if we could go deal with him personally the amount of backlash we face would be too much. Only saints can freely disregard karmic ties and do as they wish. So eitherway we would have needed a 100 gods to communicate with the universal will. Its just the god sacrifice that we need for our specific coincidence" The middle sister said not even opening her eyes. The right sister looked deeply into the sky pondering her life regretting many things, but she remembered her granddaughter all those thoughts faded.

A few hours later

A large group of gods had assembled in heaven, and they all were in lotus position and they directed the heavenly qi towards the three sisters. The large surge of qi caused space to distort. The god that was killed was extracted of his blood. A long piece of string was drenched in blood and was being flipped through by the three sisters. Finally they caught the thread, at this exact moment Ryuk was blasted through the chest by Daniel. Fate had shifted the universe had abandoned Ryuk.

...

In Ryuks rapidly fading conciousness he saw a dream. Ryuk was a small boy who cleaned the entrance of a majestic building. No matter how much he tried he couldnt be anything other that the sweeper of the large building. The boy then looked at the dust that he swept and realized that in the end all things are, but dust so does anything matter. The thoughts and ideas were messy and Ryuk couldnt understand them, but he had a brief understanding. The memories then distorted it was obvious he was missing some of them. Ryuk seemed to have lost himself forgetting himself in the memories. The next image was of the boy wearing a black robe standing atop a stage with millions bowing before him. Ryuk felt pride and some other feelings, but they didnt belong to him. The next image was him being impaled by those same followers of his. He was on the ground cursing why he had cared. Ryuk felt his own emotions when he saw this rage, pity, anxiety and two shared emotions with the boy bloodlust and disgust. Ryuk fell in a dark well. The boy disappeared and Ryuk was left in a state of nothingness. He regretted his life, he regretted living. He remembered his mother and remembered how she suffered for him. He felt disgust towards himself, but even more he felt rage. Ryuk saw how hard he worked the little bit of time he had cultivated and smiled, but it turned into more self pity. Ryuk pondered many things in this state. He questioned life and death. Kindness and malice. Compassion and cruelty and many more, but in the end Ryuk was fading away from life. Ryuk looked forward and saw his body a string winding up and down in to the endless universe, but then a hand came and clamped the string down. Ryuk felt his soul roar in rage and fury. Ryuk closed his eyes waiting for the uncontrollable end of his life.

' No! I wont allow for others to stomp on me! I will devour everything if thats what it takes. I shall refine the heavens into my weapon. I shall tear the universe in half and recreate it! My mother didnt die for me to just give up here. No! Even if she was alive like hell I would simply stop. What do I want? Everything! I dont care who you think you are! You think you have the right to control my life and death? Fuck off! Even the universe creator dosent have the right! Revenge? Yes, but that isnt why im going to stop! Im not going to stop because that is my will! I will never stop. Even if I become god so what? Ill climb this treacherous ladder even if it means other have a better start than me. My will wont stop for anyone!" Although Ryuk said all this in his heart more and more words were said each word like sounding off like a loud gong in his soul. Ryuk wasn't mindlessly muttering things each word was defiant, each word greedy and unruly. In Ryuks heart he said so many things with so many meaning, but each word simply meant this. I WILL RULE OVER ALL THINGS AND I WILL NEVER KNEEL BEFORE ANYONE. I SHALL REIGN SUPREME IN THIS AND THE NEXT UNIVERSE AND THE ONE AFTER THAT. That was the basic premise of all the things Ryuk said, but then a calmness flushed over Ryuk. Ryuk was the type of person who meant everything they said, but the calmness showed that he understood what he was saying, but it wasn't the best way to show how he felt. ' Truth isnt some loud rampaging feeling. It is an indescribable calmness. My words may be heavy and burdensome, but there was truth, but it needed to be expressed right. Like a few powerful words atop the door of a majestic palace that blinded all those who rejected it. Truth was simple and powerful.' Ryuk thought in his head. If before Ryuks soul was vibrating like a angry bee then now it had the majesty of a Great Dragon, the poise of a Swan, the pride of a Tiger, the undying ambition of a human, but those were examples the feeling in Ryuks soul was indescribable and was an alien feeling to all other beings in the universe even if they had wild ambition and power to back it up compared to an ant like Ryuk they seemed to lack something. The universe will which was the string around Ryuks ethereal form in his soul previously acted disdainful towards Ryuks thoughts, but it now felt Ryuks soul and it shook in fear. Something in Ryuk seemed to vibrate like a happy mate towards Ryuks soul. The something seemed separate from the entire universe and it seemed to only look at Ryuk like a wife seeing her husband after a long war. Ryuk didnt notice this thing. Ryuk thought in his head and eventually a peaceful thought appeared it was cold to everything around Ryuk as if saying everything in this universe isnt worthy of touching this child. "All I want I shall take. All that stands before me will become my grinding stone sharpening me into greatness. All the blood I splatter shall refine me. If you kick me down I will crawl, the insults you use against me will become my titles, in death I shall flourish. I shall defy the universe." These words were arrogant, but when they were spoken the something that resonated with Ryuks soul shook in awe. The universals will began tearing. suddenly a bright flash sprung out from Ryuks soul and that bright light came from the resonating thing.
