Proving a Point
Ryu's steps were so firm it looked as though he was walking on the ground, his punches so casual it looked more like he was loosening his rotator cuff than walking down a trio of Omniscient Sky Gods.
Without qi, it was impossible to use Omniscient Control. And without Omniscient Control, it was impossible to exhibit the full array of strength an Omniscient Sky God should have.
It was practically like they had been neutered, restricted to less than half their former strength in an instant.
They couldn't understand it at all. If Ryu had such a powerful ability, why did he wait to use it now? Why use the more famous Earth and Heaven Gate first, and only spring this on them last?
What they had no idea was that Ryu's goal in this battle and his goal in the last were entirely different.
