Chapter 2002 Sweet
Sarriel's pupils constricted. She thought that she had made it up when it appeared, but all of a sudden a voice echoed out that made her speechless.
"This idiot!
She couldn't believe that he was actually still so reckless. How had he even managed to survive so long? Didn't he know how to keep his head down?!
But when Ryu was provoked, it was like he didn't care about anything else. So the moment he confirmed that it was actually Sarriel, and then shifted his Third Perspective to see the clash between Young Master Moon and Falling Snow, his chuckle echoed out.
"I see, so that's what's going on. You know, I had speculations about you Fey. What an annoying Race of people. I assume your existence is why the Martial Gods are always hiding their true power? I was wondering why that was..."
Selheira's mother had told him not to underestimate the Martial Gods, though that wasn't really necessary. She mistook his arrogance for underestimating an opponent. That was never something he did; he just felt that no matter who the opponent was, it didn't matter.
There would only be one winner in the end.
He.
Ryu Tatsuya.
All of the Fey looked up into the air trying to see something, but there was nothing there. The aura was so fleeting, and it was completely untraceable.
With the evolution of his eyes, it was even easier for Ryu to use his Third Perspective like this. His relationship with Sarriel could be considered decent. In fact, because they were both from Sacrum and had followed a somewhat similar path, their Fate bond was actually strong enough for Ryu to sense her.
But...
He just had to prove to her that she was a fool for looking toward any man for that but himself.
As for what happened after she made that realization, he didn't give a damn. Just because she chose him didn't mean that he had the obligation to choose her.
He was just doing this to keep his wife happy.
Darkness Rising and Shy's aura both flared as they tried to entrap Ryu's consciousness, but he didn't seem to notice.
Watching these Dao Gods try to match him in Fate and Karma control was like watching a toddler trying to grab a slippery fish out of a bowl.
He completely ignored them.
"Sarriel, it seems that your husband candidates aren't quite so good after all, huh?
"I killed the brother of one of them, but here he is with his tail tucked between his legs. I'm sure he's learned of it by now, and yet he came here instead of seeking me out. Isn't he a bit too cowardly? He doesn't even want to face off against a mere little Transcended?
"And what's with this other one? I thought your people hated the Ancient Beasts? But this oversized, pathetic excuse of a genius actually spliced his own Bloodline with that of a fox. Do you think he shits in the forest and smells it afterward too?"
Ryu's words were sharp and incisive, and for a moment, the two geniuses completely forgot that they were supposed to be clashing with one another.
Their expressions remained calm, as expected of geniuses. However, much like before, their gazes told a different story as their auras flared.
"I'm sure you all will be going to the God Grade Holy World. After all, you've spent so long planning all of this; it would be a shame if it fell through now.
"I'll be there to put an end to all of this. As for the matters of this woman, though... I'm sorry to inform you that they ended long ago. Her lips tasted quite sweet, in case you were wondering!" After saying these words, Ryu's aura vanished.
