Ice Storm

The teams for the championship battle were picked randomly, even catching Grandmaster off guard.

Jonny, now renowned as the 'Soul Devourer,' kicked off the championship battle with a bang, stirring the audience's emotions.

"Devourer! Devourer!"

The crowd's chants filled the arena as the gate in front of Johnny swung open.

Most eyes in the crowd were fixed on Johnny, overshadowing the presence of the Titan who emerged from the other side of the arena.

Jonny's recent feats had eclipsed the Titan, who had been a contender for the championship for quite some time.

Despite the fervent cheers for the Mountain Devourer drowning out the presence of the Titan, the latter remained stoic as he stepped into the light.

This marked Johnny's first encounter with the Titan. As the two emerged from the shadows, Johnny couldn't hide his surprise.

The Titan before him was nothing like the towering figure Johnny had pictured.

In Johnny's mind, the epitome of the Titans was Thanos, the formidable entity known as the Fear Titan.

However, the Titan standing opposite Johnny appeared almost human-like, a stark contrast to Thanos's colossal frame and intimidating purple skin.

This Titan was only slightly taller than Johnny, with skin resembling a human's and hair cropped short like steel needles, giving him a refined appearance.

As Johnny and the Titan locked eyes, tension crackled in the air.

"Human, your first encounter with me is unfortunate. None who have faced me before have lived to tell the tale."

The Titan communicated in a language that resonated universally, clear and confident. Yet, when his gaze fell upon Johnny, it resembled a turbulent sea, betraying a hidden unrest beneath his composed exterior.

Johnny, though feeling a slight pressure in the presence of the Titan, didn't harbor a profound sense of urgency. With 1,200 Soul Points bolstering his strength, Johnny no longer trembled before a mere Titan.

Of all the intel Larter painstakingly gathered for Johnny, information on the Titan stood out as the most substantial.

Blessed with immense strength and near-immortal bodies, the Titans boasted longevity, immunity to fatigue, diseases, and poisons, and resilience against extreme environmental conditions, rendering them formidable in combat.

Masters of universal energy manipulation, the Titans could harness it into boundless power. The most formidable among them, like Hyperion and Thanos, could project cosmic energy through their eyes and hands or erect force fields for defense.

Flight came naturally to most Titans, particularly in gravity-free environments, while the mightiest among them could traverse the cosmos without the aid of spacecraft.

Johnny found himself facing an exceptionally potent Titan, one who had tapped into advanced abilities and surpassed the typical Titan might.

"We will see," Johnny retorted, his tone equally assertive.

The Titan's response came with a chilly smirk as he transformed into a spectral form, soaring skyward. Not just flying—more like a direct ascent propelled by cosmic energies under his command. His imposing figure loomed over Johnny, exuding an overwhelming presence that even paused the audience's cheers momentarily.

Johnny, meeting the Titan eye to eye in mid-air, maintained a composed facade, though a hint of tension crept into his gaze. Confident in his ability to breach the Titan's formidable defenses, he couldn't shake the challenge posed by his adversary's aerial advantage.

It was evident the Titan had done his homework, aware of Johnny's mastery over lightning wolf agility and his recent display of flight capabilities. This knowledge seemed to tilt the scales further in his favor.

Yet, was Johnny truly without recourse against the airborne foe?

"Ice Storm!" Johnny commanded, his eyes alight with an icy hue as his very aura crystallized into millennia-old frost. A bitter chill permeated the air, frosting the ground beneath him as ethereal ice blades materialized around him, gleaming menacingly in the sunlight.

In an instant, an array of ice blades surrounded Johnny, multiplying exponentially until they enveloped him in a glacial field, sending shivers down onlookers' spines.

This was no ordinary ice manipulation; it was a level 7 mastery, leagues beyond anything Johnny had showcased before.

The smugness in the Titan's demeanor dissolved into apprehension as he beheld the icy fortress encasing Johnny.

"I didn't reckon you were holding back in our last bout!" the Titan remarked, his voice laced with caution.

Johnny's response was a mere smile, as the multitude of ice blades surrounding him began to quake before erupting into a cacophony of roars, hurtling toward the airborne Titan in a relentless assault.
