Chapter 1847 Helplessness


    1847 Helplessness


    Ryu looked down and found that there was an invisible clash going on below. He stood high above a no man''s land, and it seemed that no one would easily come to attack him. But at the same time, he wasn''t the only one in this no man''s land either.


    The Luminara Clan members that had fallen out were in the same region as him. The only difference was that one was above while the other was below. Ryu was high in the skies, and they were prostrated on the ground, unable to withstand the pressure, and clearly not having gained much of anything from the Holy World.


    Dao Sovereign Aerendil of the Luminara Clan was the first person that Ryu made eye contact with. The man didn''t seem to have any expression on his face at all, but the momentum he was giving off was something akin to a keg that was about to burst.


    He looked like he wanted to kill Ryu more than anyone else, but when Ryu met his gaze, he grinned.


    "Sovereign, you don''t have to worry, the twins are still alive, and I have them here. I will protect them with my life."


    There was nothing wrong with Ryu''s words, but the moment Aerendil heard them, it was like he had been plunged into a bucket of ice water. He was suffocated as he realized that he had neglected a very important point.


    Ryu had hostages.


    Trying to use the situation to kill him was the pinnacle of stupidity, and it felt more ridiculous than anything else. One couldn''t help but be left speechless by the actions of the Sovereigns and Lords of this world.


    Ryu felt that they were truly too... stupid.


    Maybe it couldn''t be said that Ryu had a lot of experience with fighting against intelligent people. But at the very least, there were some that weren''t outright morons.


    However, before he could say anything, Ryu looked toward him as well before he took out Lichen''s corpse and waved it around.


    "Unfortunately for the Fiends, I don''t have a habit of saving their kind. I can take this corpse as a trophy, though.


    "I''ve seen through his Fate. It seems like he''s ranked 96th, something or another, on some trashy list. Honestly, I can''t say that I remember killing him, he was just another one in the army and I also didn''t realize until afterward who he was.


    "It''s a shame. I thought that when I finally became a Sky God and could battle it out with you Fiends that you''d have some good competition waiting for me. I didn''t expect that this so-called competition would actually be so pathetic."


    The Fiend Race froze.


    They didn''t even react to Ryu''s words at first, all they saw was the corpse. It wasn''t until afterward that they came to hear exactly what it was that Ryu was saying.


    And the shame of it was that Ryu really wasn''t lying. He couldn''t remember killing Lichen because it wasn''t him. With the sensitivity of these experts, they could easily tell when someone was being genuine or not, and the helplessness in Ryu''s eyes only made them all the more infuriated.


    "DIE!"


    "STOP!"


    Galadriel swung down his hammer, and Aerendil immediately moved to stop him. How could he allow Ryu to die like this when his geniuses were in his hands?


    Ryu grinned as though it was all going according to plan, a light twinkling in his eyes.
