Ryu was indifferent to this change, but inwardly, he felt a tremble. He was very much used to this tremble, it was the very same thing he had felt that day the Heavens descended on Elena's ceremony.

Feeling this, Ryu's lip curled. That was exactly how it should be. His Bloodlines were in service of him, not the other way around. If not for his family, after what they did to him that day, a day he saw as nothing short of a humiliating one, he would have long since purged these Bloodlines from his body.

Suddenly, the gloominess Ryu had been feeling over the past few days vanished into thin air, a cold smile spreading across his face.

He instantly thought of a few things.

Secondly, where did the strength of his Heavenly Chaos Bone Structure come from? Wasn't it through an imbalance?
