Grand Ancestral Bloodlines Chapter 1966 Awry

That was the other oddity to this puzzle… why the Zu Clan?

Ryu thought of the possibility that the Zu Clan was actually his own Clan, but he knew himself.

First off, if it really was his own Clan, he was certain that his future self would have found a way to stop Eska from being his wife. He didn't care how many generations separated them, he had no intention of bedding one of his descendants.

And second… he would never change his name from Tatsuya, even for a plot. He had too much pride for that.

Unless it was the case that he had changed more than he thought, which he guessed might be possible, there was simply no chance of any of this happening.

But the Zu Clan felt useless to him. They were weak, and the only thing they had ever really brought him was trouble.

Being mistaken for a Zu Clan descendant was why he had been bullied so fiercely at the start of his second life, the reason he had been labeled a so-called "White Devil."

There were so many moving pieces that it was hard even for Ryu to wrap his head around them all, and ironically enough, everyone was just either frozen in time or being ruthlessly slaughtered one after another as he stood in silence.

Aria tried to take her halberd back and attack him several times already, but it was a pletely useless endeavor. She couldn't even break through his defenses. And when she tried to retreat, she found the passage backward inexplicably long. It took her several seconds just to succeed in taking the equivalent of a single step back, when before, she could easily cross tens of thousands of miles in that kind of time.

Instead, it looked as though she was flying backward in place, something that made her face flush with embarrassment and rage, especially when she remembered the words that had been sent in earlier.

Had he really e here to press her down?

Unwillingness brimmed in Aria's eyes and her dissatisfaction was quickly boiling over.

However, at that moment, Ryu finally looked up.

"Okay. Let's end this."

He wasn't getting anywhere with his thoughts, so he just didn't want to waste his time anymore. He had to be fast with dealing with these matters, or else the trouble in the outside world would really e back to bite him.

As easy as it was to control Fate in this world, he knew that he would have already bee a mummified husk if he tried to repeat the same in the outside world, especially if it was against enemies stronger than Lords.

So before a certain Reverend Dark Claw finished up his plot, it was best he get out here.

Ryu reached forward and clamped a hand around Aria's neck.

She struggled and clawed at him, but it was useless in the end.

She was unceremoniously suppressed and sealed by the might of his Inner World before being tossed inside like a bag of sand.

Ryu yawned. It wasn't a fake one, but a legitimate one.

'It seems controlling Fate even in this world can take its toll… if I can raise up the Fate of my Inner World to a high enough degree, though… I bet it would offset a lot of the cost…'

He raised up a hand as he thought and the world shuddered.

His lips parted slightly and [Death Acupoint] reflected in his eyes.

All of a sudden, under his control of Fate, these small, impossible-to-grasp targets expanded to the point they became large bullseyes.

"Die." Ryu said softly.

PUCHI!

The world fell to silence.

Hundreds of Dao Lords fell from the skies, pletely and utterly dead.

The drastic difference between how Ryu thought this matter would go, and how it actually ended up going, were too vastly different.

But sometimes… you were only one slight breakthrough away from a shocking windfall. And this time, it seemed that he had been holding himself back too much.

A slight hint of fatigue pinched his brows, but that was when something shocking happened.

Ryu bined [Focus], his Time affinity, and his new Fate affinity together, and in that moment, the fatigue between his brows had been wiped away.

What he had done just now was far more effective than even the prayer mat had ever been. Even if he was paring it to his days in Sacrum… and those were the days he used to have unlimited Focus Qi.

[Focus] was the technique of his eyes that allowed him to sink into States of Meditation whenever he wanted. This technique of his eyes had an inextricably linked status to his Focus Qi as a result.

So, using it as a conduit…

Ryu reversed the Time and Fate on his own Focus Qi. And in an instant, he was back to 100%.

Ryu chuckled, looking up into the skies. 'I'm really going to miss this world.'

He was truly a God here, a God that broke Laws without the slightest scruples.

However…

'Soon, I'll be just as much of a God in the outside world. When that day es, I'll bend a certain disobedient wife over my knee and see if she still dares to be so arrogant.'

A flash of malevolence sparked in Ryu's gaze.

Surpassing me isn't so easy.

He remembered the words clearly. But she had obviously forgotten who her husband was.

Ryu's aura flared and the Lord Grade world seemed to crack.

He didn't need to waste his time refining it or gathering Fate anymore. He was the master of Fate in this world. If he said he wanted it to e to him…

It would e.

And when he did that, the world would obviously acknowledge him as its victor.

…

In the outside world, Reverend Dark Claw was continuing his preparations, feeling that he had time. The formations in the surroundings were quickly ing together, the Dao Gods of his family were on their way, and he was personally standing guard even if something went awry…

And awry they went.

BOOM!
