Chapter 1977 Mistake
Ryu and Hope appeared. And both couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that something had ended up going wrong anyway.
No. It was the right direction. The main problem was that the Human Emperor's Dao had bent their landing location.
It only took a glance for Ryu to understand.
The Human Emperor must have a strong control over the Human Race, and most importantly, the
Fate of the Human Race.
If he knew the Title of the man, he would be even more certain of his conclusion.
The Human Emperor had been making use of his Dao, doing his best to try and find Ryu using it as an extension. That ended up twisting the Fate around Ryu and caused him to appear here.
Obviously, the Human Emperor hadn't been trying to get him to teleport here, especially not when he was on his last legs and about to die. He had just wanted to increase his luck a bit in an attempt to find Ryu.
When he realized that he wasn't going to make it, he changed his tactics, trying to pour some of that Juck toward Ryu in hopes it would give him a better chance of escaping.
Unfortunately, that luck ended up getting twisted as Ryu and Hope tried to manipulate that same
Fate.
In the end, their destination became muddied and they ended up in the same dead end as the Human Emperor, facing off against a Higher God and Middle God.
'Seems my luck isn't all that great...'
The two Fiend Gods were taken aback. They had sealed off the region and didn't understand how anyone could make it in.
When they saw that it was likely to be Ryu, their target, they were even more stunned.
Was their luck so good?
Ryu sighed. 'I'm sorry, Hope. I made a misstep!"
Hope wasn't a combatant to begin with. Although he didn't know her exact combat strength, he wouldn't let her face off against a Middle God, let alone a Higher God.
Their best bet was the Human Emperor. But not only was he weaker by comparison to the Coldfang Warden, he was now heavily injured as well.
'But, his strength comes from the Human Race... He'll be stronger now that he has to protect me, but it still isn't enough...'
The Human Emperor was starting to feel anxious. What was wrong with this child, why wasn't he answering? Even if the thinking speed of a Transcended should be much slower than his, it wasn't this exaggerated.
'No, old man. I'm completely spent right now, I can't do it again. Especially since this region is cut off! Ryu had a feeling that part of the reason he was so spent was because he had to break through this barrier before. He had thought that it was just the natural difficulty of the process, only to realize the problem too late.
Now, his stamina was practically at rock bottom and he simply didn't have much more to give.
"There's only one way...!
Ryu's gaze sharpened as he realized what he was going to have to do.
'Listen to everything I say. Don't miss a beat. Don't be slow!
'What about-
'Stop. Listen to me. And also, don't try to get my wife involved.
Ryu preemptively stopped the line of inquiry. In fact, he took Hope's hand and protected her at his back, his silver eyes blazing with light.
He was just going to have to do this the old-fashioned way.
The Human Emperor and the Fiend Gods were taken aback once more. Why was a Transcended protecting a Dao God? No, why was a Transcended even so intimate with a Dao God in the first.
place?
Having finally reached the end of their patience, the two Fiend Gods suddenly attacked.
At that same instant, Ryu's lips began to move.
