As the two fighters emerged from the shadows of the destroyed city, Ken and Ryomen Sukuna locked eyes and prepared for battle. Ken cracked his knuckles and adjusted his white cloak, ready for anything. Ryomen Sukuna remained calm, a sinister grin on his face. "You are the next victim of the king of curses," Ryomen Sukuna taunted Ken. Ken smirked. "I don't believe in curses. Just the power of the fists." And with that, the battle began. Ken charged forward, throwing a flurry of punches at Ryomen Sukuna. Ryomen Sukuna calmly dodged and parried, waiting for his opportunity to strike. He suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Ken, slicing at him with his Divine Dog: Totality technique. Ken barely managed to dodge, but the slash across his black shirt left behind a deep cut. Ken retaliated with a roundhouse kick, striking Ryomen Sukuna in the shoulder. Ryomen Sukuna smirked, almost enjoying the pain. Ryomen Sukuna then summoned his Mahoraga technique, and a large humanoid shinigami appeared. The shinigami adapted to Ken's fighting style, making it difficult for Ken to land any strikes. Ken was forced to retreat, dodging the attacks of the shinigami. As Ken dodged, Ryomen Sukuna recited the incantation for his Domain Expansion Malevolent Shrine. Within seconds, the area around them was engulfed by a dark energy that slashed and destroyed anything in a 200-meter radius. Ken was caught off guard and was unable to escape the Malevolent Shrine. He fell to his knees, severely injured. Ryomen Sukuna walked over and looked down at Ken. "You fought well," Ryomen Sukuna said calmly. "But I am the king of curses. Your fate was sealed the moment you stepped onto this battlefield." Suddenly, Gudo emerged from within Ken. Gudo's eyes glowed red as he stared at Ryomen Sukuna. Ryomen Sukuna felt his body freeze in place. He had been caught by Gudo's "Eyes of Disaster" ability. Ken took advantage of the moment and struck Ryomen Sukuna with his strongest punch. The strike hit Ryomen Sukuna with the force of a truck, sending him flying into a nearby building. The building crumbled around Ryomen Sukuna as Gudo laughed maniacally. Ken stood up, his white cloak stained with blood. "That's how we do it," Ken said with a smirk. And with that, Ken emerged victorious, proving that even the most powerful curses can be defeated with the power of the fists.
