Guilty Pleasure
When Jojo saw Ryu suddenly appear before her, she was at a loss for words.
In truth, she didn't think about this man too often in the last several years, but that was mostly because she was dealing with her own troublesome issues—clearly. However, that wasn't to say that she didn't think about him at all. At the very least, she recognized him immediately, and that only made her all the more stunned.
Ryu grinned, grabbing the chains that held her down.
"You—what are you—?!"
Ryu grunted and the chain bowed and flexed. With [Earth Gate], he could choose one aspect of himself to progress a great deal. In the past, this used to be done by a measurement of years. For example, back in Sacrum, he could force a progression of a hundred years or so when he first unlocked this ability. But as he progressed, he gained the ability to instantly improve thousands of years, or trillions during his final battle with the Martial Gods.
