Ryu and Hope stepped out from thin air. The latter's expression was filled with surprise, and Ryu's was covered in a slight sheen of sweat.
Even so, the bright smile on Ryu's face couldn't be restrained in the slightest. It was this sort of power that he had been seeking all his life, killing Lords and Sovereigns like dogs…
It was hard not to be intoxicated with what he was experiencing. It was like he was flying on cloud nine.
However, it didn't take long before he reined in his enthusiasm.
This wasn't his power; it was Hope's.
Just now, he had been using Hope a lot like his Internal Matrix. By letting her take on the burden of Fate quantity, he could direct its action with his eyes.
It made it far easier to use the abilities of his eyes as a result, because in a lot of ways, his body was reacting as though he was a Dao God now rather than the Transcended he was.
