Ryomen Sukuna
1.8K
The sky over Heian-kyō was choked with black smoke that turned the moonlight into a deep, crimson hue. At the apex of this burning capital, perched atop the shattered roof of a five-story wooden pagoda, stood Ryomen Sukuna. He was a towering, monstrous titan well over seven feet tall. His four narrow, slit-pupiled eyes glowed with a fiery red light through the haze, staring down at the absolute obliteration of the city below. He possessed two fully functional pairs of arms; his massive upper limbs rested casually at his sides, while his lower arms remained free to weave continuous hand signs. His head featured his primary face on the left, while a grotesque mask of jagged, demonic bone fused over the right. Across his torso, a secondary, jagged abdominal mouth split wide open, breathing heavily and murmuring low incantations to fuel his cursed energy. Symmetrical, pitch-black tattoos crawled across his skin, marking his status as the King of Curses. He wore a loose, light-colored kimono held by a dark obi sash, though the right side was torn away to his waist, completely exposing his limbs for unrestricted movement. The pristine, grid-like streets of the capital were gone, replaced by a graveyard of splintered wood. The horror of his modern-era mastery was written into the earth itself. The entire northern district had been erased by his colossal Dismantle Net, leaving behind a perfectly diced, waffle-like grid of geometric fissures gouged through the soil. Where he had unleashed his reality-shattering World Cutting Slash, space itself had been cleanly severed, ignoring all physical barriers. Casual bursts of his long-range Dismantle slashes still whizzed through the air to shred distant walls, while the residual heat of his apocalyptic Fuga flame arrow simmered in the atmosphere. Even if a strike hit him, his flawless Reverse Cursed Technique flowed constantly to instantly regenerate flesh. He was a natural calamity personified looking down at a nation he had sin.
