(General P.O.V)
On the patch of ground, Savage stood upright, hands crossed above his chest as he looked up at Davian.
Then his eyes jumped gazed at the walls of water surrounding them.
"Impressive."
Savage clapped his hands.
"You pushed the water and my creations away just to expose me."
He chuckled, shaking his head,
"This is why..."
Before he could continue to speak, Davian pointed his palm downwards, gazing at his enemy with cold eyes. He was done humoring the Immortal.
"Bakudo no. 9: Horin."
A sphere of yellow energy shining as bright as the sun appeared before his palm. The sphere quickly folded upom.itself to gather around his hand.
Then a thick rope jumped out, shooting towards Savage. The rope slammed onto his chest and broke down around him, forming into a thick crackling net.
Davian placed his other palm above the rope.
"Hado no.4: Byakurai."
Blue lightning jumped from his hand to the rope before being conducted towards Savage.
The Immortal saw the attack headed for him but couldn't do anything has the Hado fell upon his body, spreading out in streaks that ravaged his form.
"Arrgghhhh!!!"
His thunderous yell could be heard from miles away. His golden skin smoked and bubbled, the flesh melting before being regenerated in a continuous cycle of destruction and restoration.
"Heads up."
Davian added, before retracting his Reiatsu and allowing the tons upon tons of the water in the walls surrounding them to fall.
Savage blinked and suddenly found millions of liters descend upon his paralyzed body.
The only thing he could do was grit his teeth.
"Damn you Davian Mabu-"
His words were cut off by the crushing wave of the sea.
Davian was left standing on a platform of spirit energy. The scales of the battle had tipped to his favor.
"And now to finish this."
With a flash of purple energy, his Shikai activated. Chesha Neko broke off into billions of strings, covering him from head to toe in the durable material.
On the ridges in-between his fingers, 3 claws emerged on each hand. They were long and sharp bearing a striking resemblance to Wolverine. Which wasn't surprising as that was who he had copied.
He made sure to pull as much power as he could into reinforcing himself.
With Savage cornered, this is when the true fight would begin.
And sure enough, the crashing sound of water as it beat upon the protruding pieces of rocks that had belonged to the island, was interrupted by bubbles.
The bubbles intensified before something thick and meaty emerged. Flesh twisted and warped upon itself as it spread out across the surface of the water, occupying the place Infinity Island had once stood.
An Island made entirely of flesh was created.

Pimples and boils sprouted everywhere on it's surface.
Davian descended on to the Flesh Island.
His silent landing sent a quiver on it's surface. The pimples and boils burst open, noxious fumes wafting into the air while pus and blood flowed out.
Along with something else.
Small and big creatures made entirely of a reddish brown colored bare flesh, missing the skin.
Some were mostly limbs, meaty balls of existence covered with spikes of sharp bones on every exposed part of their bodies.
Some flapped bony and leathery wings, screeching while flying around Davian.
Others were huge, not on the sheer scale and size of the Octupus or even the Gillian, but bigger than a regular sized elephant.
Millions of red eyes turned to glare at Davian Mabuz.
"YOUR MOVE...SCARLET DEVIL."
Savage's voice sounded out from the flesh creations, distorted and an amalgamation of different tones.
Davian bent low. The numbers were many. Almost too many.
However, never had Davian's blood lust been this potent. Never had he wanted to kill someone so bad.
And an intrinsic part of him hated Savage just for his mere existence. An unrealistic hate.
One he couldn't help but feel for this 'immortal' with grandiose aspirations to deny him, Death.
"There could be millions between you and I..."
Davian started lowly, hoisting his claws.
"But I would kill trillions just to get to you and rip out your heart."
Without noticing, the claws in his hands changed color to black as an aura of death, an aura of time erosion covered them.
Savage had no problem feeling the danger the claws posed to him.
"Attack him! Kill it! Bring Davian Mabuz' CORPSE TO ME!"
The Immortal ordered and his creations adhered.
Davian showed his teeth, growling as he blurred forward and ran the claws through the mid section of a flesh creature that looked a cross between a kangaroo and a dinosaur.
The creature was sliced into three separate pieces but even before they fell, Davian had already slain about a hundred of it's compatriots.
With Shunpo, he was going faster than he had ever gone before, a whirlwind of swinging metal blades followed by the sound of flesh and bones parting under something sharp.
His form was everywhere all at once, streaking around the fleshy landscape and delivering death.
In 5 minutes he had reduced the initial numbers of the creatures attacking him to about half.
In 10 minutes, the millions of monsters the King of Life could create had more than tripled.
Davian could feel as more and more biomass was added to the island from the sea. Then the island would produce these monsters that would then attack him.
He couldn't stem the tide. Yet he still killed.
Slashed, tore and ripped apart all of them, in a bid to get to the center of the flesh Island where he could feel Savage.
The Immortal was inside a huge flesh pod, no doubt scheming.
At some point, Davian started adding Kido spells to the mix.
His Hado spell, Akai Inazuma would be launched out through dozens of palms constructed from Chesha Neko's strings.
With Reikaku providing him an image of what was happening around him at all times, this made him an even more effective Killing machine as he mawed down more and more flesh creatures.
The battle ground was full of smoking bodies and the sweet and sickening smell of burning flesh.
"I WILL NOT LOSE TO THE LIKES OF YOU!"
Savage roared as he witnessed the havoc unfolding before him.
He was connected to the Island and it was essentially a part of him. The power the Spirit King was throwing around hurt.
Especially those claws!
Any flesh slashed by them could not be salvaged. The flesh would rot into a putrid mess before drying and breaking apart into ash.
He couldn't let him continue to act with impunity!
Which is why...
There was a rumble from underneath the island. Then a pimple grew from the surface.
The large meaty sack shivered as something grew from within.
The pimple burst apart, revealing the sea monster of sea monsters.
A bony white mask on it's face. It roared at the heavens, waving it's numerous tentacles and limbs in a furious dance.
The ire of it's hate being the small form below it, surrounded by corpses of abominable creatures that were it's master's creation.
"Meet my pet...the Kraken."
Savage announced.
'kill kill kill'
A mantra continuously went through the Kraken's mind.
Davian looked at the massive creature trampling other flesh imps and monsters as it advanced towards him.
The Soup Reaper had come to realize something.
Just as Savage's energy seemed to have an innate suppressing nature on Reiryoku, the opposite was true.
He didn't lack ways he could use to remove the threat of the Kraken.
However, deep within him, something was brewing.
Raging to come out into the surface. He had noticed Barragan's Respira energy coating the claws.
His Kido was deadly as well. His strings could be made as sharp as the sharpest of weapons.
Yet...
Something wanted to rush out.
He allowed instinct to guide him. To trust in whatever this sensation was.
The strings around his form unravelled into his Zanpakuto. He was left with his upper body exposed, silver hair waving in the air.
Davian then lifted Chesha Neko, cold eyes gazing at the Kraken looming over him.
"From one king to a self proclaimed one...your fate was determined when you decided to fuck with me. And now all that awaits you at the end of this path is Death."
There was a pause. As if the world itself was waiting with baited breath.
"Bankai."
The lone word...
That simple lone word and the world shuddered.
********
All at once, none of them could ignore him any more.
Not with the power he had called upon.
Rama Kushna, floating in mid air above her garden, frowned in hate.
"Hmph! A bunch of hags who don't know what's good for them!" Her divine presence surged out, cutting off the numerous cosmic gazes and shrouding Davian under layers of obscurity.
Rama Kushna looked at a particular spot in space.
"None of you can have him!! I forbid anyone from laying a single claim to the Spirit King!!"
