[True Skill: Abyssal Nano-Reaper]
[Description:] The Host has ascended beyond previous forms, becoming the ultimate fusion of nanotechnology and dark energy. The Host transforms into a monstrous figure clad in an ever-shifting exoskeleton of living nanobots, constantly adapting, repairing, and evolving—developing countermeasures against any form of attack, whether physical or magical.
This allows the Host to unleash the full power of nano and dark energy, triggering an apocalyptic curse of abyssal energy that consumes everything with every attack.
[Additional Effects: Abyssal Reaper Scythe: A colossal weapon formed from hyper-adaptive nanobots and raw abyssal energy. This scythe does not merely cut—it erases. Anything it touches is consumed, broken down to a molecular level, and converted into power, endlessly feeding the Host’s strength!
"Seems like I can’t summon only the scythe anymore because it’s now an additional effect. But still, the end result is something beyond my expectations..." Ryuk mused, reading the description of the skill.
If he unleashed it, only the devil knew what kind of hell he would be able to cause.
But something else drew Ryuk’s attention—the second new skill below it!
[True Skill: Annunaki Oblivion]
[Description:] The Host summons a massive black sphere of hyper-dense nanobots and abyssal energy—a living void that devours everything in its path. Anything caught within its soul, whether solid, energy, or even space itself, is rewritten into absolute nothingness.
[Singularity Detonation:] The Host can also collapse the singularity itself at will, causing an ancient explosion that wipes everything in a massive radius—leaving behind only the void!
[IMPORTANT WARNING:] THE SKILL DOES NOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN ENEMY AND ALLY! IF THE HOST IS CAUGHT WITHIN HIS OWN SKILL, HE WILL BE ERASED TOO!
"Huuuuuuu..." A loud exhale left Ryuk’s lips as he finished reading, his eyes widening in shock.
His increased intelligence allowed him to comprehend the skill’s true power instantly, and Ryuk knew at once—
"Annunaki Oblivion... It is vastly superior to the Absolute Nano-Reaper!" he mused to himself.
And his reasoning was simple.
The Abyssal Nano-Reaper relies on a physical form, with insane adaptability and a scythe-like attack. However, it still ’fights’ enemies.
But what of Annunaki Singularity?
It doesn’t fight—it pulls everything into itself and then erases it completely. No regeneration, no resistance, no escape! It rewrites everything caught within into a single fate known as absolute nothingness.
To Ryuk, the Abyssal Nano-Reaper was an unstoppable warrior—fast, powerful, and terrifying.
But the Oblivion skill? It was a black hole of pure destruction. It didn’t care how strong the enemy was; it simply erased them as if they were nothing.
In short, the Annunaki Singularity was the superior skill because it guaranteed destruction without even needing a battle.
It was a truly terrifying ability.
But it was also a double-edged sword.
If Ryuk unleashed it, he had the same chance of being turned into nothingness as his own enemies.
In short, unless he had a way to escape the pull of the attack, using it would only guarantee his own self-destruction—along with his foes!
With a good comprehension of the technique and its dangers, Ryuk moved on to the next technique, located under a tab of its own.
[Aegis of the Jade Dragon]
[Description:] Drawing upon Aetheris, the energy of the will, the Host bends the fabric of space, shaping it into an unbreakable shield. With a mere thought, they harden the air before them, turning it into solid jade.
[Additional Effects: Momentum Nullification: Instead of just absorbing force, the shield halts it completely, preventing even the strongest attacks from pushing through!]
The description of the technique was incredibly simple, and Ryuk himself already understood it because he had instinctively used it during his skirmish with the Dark Scaled Ryuk.
Compared to his Nano-based skills and Frost abilities, it didn’t seem like much. But Ryuk was very well aware of its potential.
This was just like his Ice Apex energy—it could only unleash a mist at first, but it eventually turned him into an Ice Sovereign.
Not for what the Aetheris skill was capable of now—but because of what it would become if it reached the higher levels like the rest of his skills.
’If Level 1 can allow me to control space and harden it up, preventing any attack from truly reaching me... then what could Level 30 do?’
But Ryuk was even more delighted for one reason…
"Finally, I’ve awakened a Racial Skill!"
Aegis of the Jade Dragon.
That was his own bloodline skill.
Not a borrowed Ice Power from Isha. Not a power from nanobot augmentation. Not an ability copied from an Annunaki model.
But his own power—flowing from the very blood within him!
’This is a true skill of mine. Finally. Finally.’
Ryuk mused to himself as he clenched his fist tightly—but then, he relaxed as words echoed in his thoughts.
"You okay, Ryuk? You’ve been silent for a long while now..." Isha’s worried voice echoed in his mind, pulling Ryuk out of his thoughts.
While he could see the interface, Isha could not.
And him staring at his fist and grinning like a madman after being asleep for six months would definitely make him look crazy.
’Deactivate System Interface.’
"I’m fine, Isha. What about you? It’s been six months. How have you kept?" Ryuk asked, turning his attention to Isha, who grinned.
"Didn’t do much since I had to be around your unconscious body. But I did have quite some fun. Also, there’s your ring..." Isha said.
Ryuk raised an eyebrow at the grinning frosty wyvern before taking his consciousness into the spatial ring—only for his jaw to drop.
"Hey, Isha! There’s only the cloth and tent left! What happened to the teleportation cards... and the defensive cards? Heck, even all the offensive cards are gone!?"
Ryuk stared in shock as he looked at the now-empty spatial ring, then turned back to the snickering Isha—who didn’t even seem sorry at all.
Ryuk could only shake his head.
"You know what? Just forget it," he muttered to himself.
"Hey, Ryuk. I’ve learned a thing or two about the beasts while you were asleep..." Isha suddenly stated, drawing Ryuk’s raised eyebrow.
