Ryu suddenly felt a great pressure crashing down around him from all sides. It felt as though he was trying to squeeze his body through a tube. The spatial nodes were so close and binding that it felt as though he was being stretched out. At any moment, he could be snapped to nothingness, but his gaze remained resolute as he pressed forward with even greater speed.
"Ah!"
The Favor Alchemy Sky God suddenly realized what Ryu was doing and she went entirely pale. He was a complete madman.
She hadn't said anything while he was observing the pillars because she had yet to put two and two together. Plus, when she saw that his aura was slowly getting stronger, she could feel that there was clearly some logic to what he was doing. But she could have never expected this.
Some wild explanation wasn't needed. Ryu's madness could be summarized in a single sentence.
