Ryu continued to eat, not responding very much to this. If there was anything to be impressed or shocked about, it wasn't that others knew about the Chaos Plane, but rather that of all those who knew, it was a group that had been here the shortest.
How is it that the Martial Gods who originated from places unknown, could be aware of the existence of an entire plane that was news to Ryu just a few years ago?
One could say that it was because not many cared enough to actually study Essence as much as the Martial Gods had, but this was ridiculous. Essence was among the most important energies in all of existence, how could it not have been researched many times over?
This told Ryu something very important.
