Holy Blessing

Ryu soared into the skies, breaking out of the world and swallowing it whole. It quickly became a part of his Inner World and vanished into perpetuity… at least to those of the outside world.

At the same time, those that remained alive were spit out one after another, while all except one of the corpses were given the same exact treatment.

In that moment, countless shocked senses swept over the area, but before anyone could do anything, the skies trembled and the Heavens sang.

A pillar of golden light descended, and an apathetic Ryu was blessed by its light. He felt his bones and blood being purified and refined. The impurities that were hidden in his body were expelled and then quickly erased by the precious golden light.
