Riel then tossed a red colored bird corpse like the before corpses. A decadent and eternal call of the emperor of birds struck out silencing the universe. With sparks flying all around and a single dark red wing fluttering Ryuk consumed the final corpse.
Ryo said "Good! Master is half done! Now the dragon root!"
Ryo spat up some blood and then began to mumble something. Then an epic and violent vacuum pressed against everyone.
Riel shouted "This pressure! What is this?!"
Ryo simply fell down asleep and his soul form appeared in Ryuks soul.
A vast expanse with no end filled with mysterious energy that constantly bubbled and tossed. Ryo felt an intense pressure here in Ryuks soul sea.
Ryo could see Ryuks first soul tribute as it thrummed loudly echoing loudly buzzing upwards towards something. 9 spectral pillars were built in a circle with the first tribute.
Ryo looked and saw Hell and was stunned. The evil energy that constantly stumbled out was obviously nothingness who was made into a battery for Ryuk, but Hell itself was also extremely dense in terms of energy.
Ryo was immediately sensed and evaluated by the various laws and even Hell in Ryuks soul. After some time he was allowed certain movement.
Ryo walked patiently and quietly towards an area where a root red like blood sat. Scales and dragon illustrations danced across the root.
Ryo was about to touch it when a Supreme incomparable Pressure fell. A mysterious figure wearing silk appeared. Ryuks soul guide. It put it's hand with no resistance on Ryos head and then nodded.
It took the dragons root and then supplemented it with strange blue energy and then gently passed it to Ryo.
Ryo felt his hairs fall down depressingly as if in complete and absolute horror, but also felt the relationship towards this being as if interacting with Ryuk himself.
Ryo took the root and quickly dissapeared.
The soul guide lingered it looked off into the distance and smiled. It then dissapeared into the far gone reaches of the soul sea.
Ryo came out with a now dark blue root and as soon as it appeared everything seemed to stop firmly. The world became silent.
Ryo looked up and saw a figure with a smile on his face overlooking Ryuk.
"Thank you Ryo. My precious little one." Ryuk said and retrieved the root.
Ryo felt his heart race and quickly said "Don't worry master! For you I'd even destroy the universe!"
Ryuk had been in a terrible pain the whole time, but he still heard Ryo and Riel talk and he even knew the value of the corpses and the fact that Ryo had deliberately let his Cultivation fall through. A certain warmness filled his heart and this love he felt could only make him say one word.
While tears fell down his cheek and a smile shook nervously Ryuk said "Thank you both for caring about someone so useless. Thank you... I don't know what to say... I've never looked upon things deeply since I was a child, but as I grew up I did. I was scared that everything I loved was false and I didn't get to have these kinda of things. I don't have alot give you, but if you allow me to be your family. I'll do everything I can to make sure you live happily. Please keep me close."
Ryuk then popped the dragon root in his mouth. Veins popped up on Ryuks skin as if every cell was exploding in volume and efficiency.
Soon Ryuk returned to his devil form except everything was different.
His tiger arms and legs were more compact and shone in an incomparably pure metallic sheen. His wings one a deep and majestic red and the other a bright red fitting for a queen. His eyes a dashing gold as if a sea of gold. His horns had become large antlers that seemed to web upwards. On Ryuks back the tortoise shell became a deep black and various mysterious runes appeared shining in an unprecedented white.
A roar echoed outwards, but not a dragons roar.
Various people sensitive to energy and sounds understood one message from the roar: "Im no one. I wasn't born in a spectacular way and I wasn't destined for anything big, but moment you touch even a hair of those I love I Will become the Bloodiest Devil. I shall Purge your existence whether you are the most important person ever or even the Universe itself."
And with that bloody proclamation a heavy and unbearable shaking filled the universe.
Even the saints were shocked four magnificent figures opened their eyes slightly turning into a sharp glance then they closed them again.
The three pure ones looked on their Expressions turning.
Every being looked on in shock or disdain, yet no one except for a few believed those words. Unfortunately their seemed to be some sort of attraction towards those words as if the unquestionable word of God.
