Taboo Power

'Taboo refers to evil…' Ryu's gaze narrowed.

As a Ruin Master, he was very much familiar with how language changed overtime, he could even be said to be quite a language connoisseur. It was why he had very carefully chosen the language he used to name his Dao, something most others wouldn't even think about.

Often times, tracking the changes in language was the best way to read the complexities of history and uncover secrets that had long since been buried.

The saying that the victors wrote history couldn't be more true, but the one that the victors could not do was erase the context of language, at least not without destroying all of their literary works as well. Even if they burned everything ever written by their enemies, would they do the same to themselves? And if they didn't dare to do this, then the context and ebbs and flows of language would always remain, this would forever be something that they could not escape.
