"Even with that all powerful system, the end will always prevail."
An older Iruna stood across a white-haired male who stood with his arms crossed. The tension between the two primordial weighed heavy that not even the wind dared to disturb the stared down.
Their overwhelming presence forced time to a standstill and space to fracture like cracks in a glass plain. Then the white-haired man raised a lone hand just halfway to his chest, lightning flashed across the space between them, defying the laws of physics more than so.
[Skill Activated: Heavenly Prison Realm]
[Skill Activated: Absolute Destruction]
Reality crumbled to pieces and eternal darkness began to rapidly expand and consume space and time itself. Then chains constructed of this eternal darkness, shot forward towards Iruna at an unimaginable speed. It was as fast as darkness itself.
At the same time, Iruna activated his one-use skill that would turn the tide of the final battle. Iruna watched as abyssal chains phased through his body and wrap around his soul in a tight restraint.
What seemed to be an absolute victory was soon short lived as the chains around his soul were reverted to nonexistence, simply vanishing from existence. In mere moments, the once consuming darkness was gone like a breath.
The white-haired man otherwise known as Alpha, stood with wide eyes at one of his strongest sealing skills being destroyed.
"Formidable. I guess you're right."
Alpha proclaimed in a soft tone of a tanner. He stood with an expressionless feature on his face, awaiting his fate to which Iruna was bound to deliver.
[Title Acquired: The Omega]
The Present...
After hours of battling, Iruna had finally exhausted his stamina and fell to one knee. His hand held tight on his sword for support while kneeling, his heavy pants clearly indication he was near his limit.
Kane on the other hand stood tall and firm above the kneeling Iruna, the massive broadsword resting gently over Kane's shoulder as if it was a paperclip.
"Not bad kid. Most don't even last to 20 minutes. I guess the new record is 3 hours."
Kane proclaimed aloud to no one, or so it seemed. To Iruna shock, Kiya stepped from out the shadows with a grin. She was clearly impressed by Iruna holding his own against the horseman of war.
"Not bad. It seems we have drawn a bit of attention. Until next time...my dear~"
Kiya exclaimed in an eerily flirtatious tone, sending shivers down Iruna spine. Then with nothing else said, Kiya and Kane had vanished without a trace of ever being there physically.
"Planetary Defense Team! remain where you are and do not move"
A loud booming voice proclaimed from a helicopter that began to hover down into view. Iruna could only sighed in utter disbelief and comply, throwing his hands up and allowing himself to be captured after becoming the second most wanted man alive.
Interplanetary Criminal Correction Center
"After 5 whole months of endlessly searching, we found you Iruna Buro. You were given a second chance, and this is all it had amount to huh?"
A rough, baritone voice proclaimed to the sitting Iruna who was shackled with chains that dampened his system abilities. Despite this, it seemed that Iruna had no qualms about his predicament, it was as if he knew everything was under control.
"Sure."
Iruna stated simply in an indifferent tone with a lack of expression. This led the man to start fuming but instead of lashing out on Iruna, the man left and a young woman stepped in soon after.
"You're a hard boy to catch Iruna. It also seems like you have racked up quite the list."
The woman proclaimed with an oozing sarcasm. Her finger lightly tapped the clipboard that held a stack of stapled papers together and a very long list of bulletin points.
"So, it seems."
Iruna stated bluntly with no intentions of continuing any sort of conversation. The women sighed and they sat in silence for an unknowing amount of time.
"So. I'm guessing y'all are debating execution. Honestly, that would be the best option."
Iruna suddenly spoke out which made the women slightly wide eyed. Though she remained quiet with burning curiosity on why Iruna thought that way even if it was true.
"Because if I get free...I won't stop at nothing until you and everyone who is holding me here...are reduced to nothing."
Iruna finished in a cold tone that could freeze hell itself. This made a shiver run up the woman spine in a masochistic pleasure. Her face flushing red from the deadly cold monotone threat that meant everything he said and his soulless crimson eyes peering deep into her emerald, green ones.
[The Goddess of Imagination has appeared]
A subtle ring through Iruna's mind had alerted him of another system user presence, Aniyah. This earned a slight confused hum to escape Iruna's lips, pondering on the reason she has suddenly appeared.
'Maybe she has an answer. I hope-'
Iruna thoughts were interrupted when he noticed a subtle shift from the corner of his eyes. The next moment his face was pressed against the cold, stoned, ground of the prison cell.
[Final near-death experience achieved...unlocking title...]
[Title Achieved: The Pale Horseman]
Iruna's crimson eyes began to fade in color, his vision slowly dimming as he watched the women tuck something back into her lab coat and run out the room.
'If I survive this...'
A final thought as he drifted into his subconsciousness, his vision fading into eternal darkness and the final spark of life being extinguished.
"Not Yet"
[Title Equipped: Celestial-Demon of Death]
Iruna eyes shot open and in a rush of adrenaline, he stood up and checked over his body for any wounds. It was as if his body felt even more lighter than before. His mind became clearer, and the sense of imminent death no longer hung from his shoulder.
"I-I'm alive?"
Iruna stammered out in confusion, recalling the new title he unlocked and the auto equip.
"Open status"

Iruna calmly read over the new status before holding his right hand out.
[Skill Activated: Vector Rush]
Time seemed to slow down at a rapid pace and pace began to twist and descend into chaos. Subtle fractures struck across the three-dimensional space of the universe, until the space shattered around Iruna shattered like glass.
