As Ryu had expected, the World Sea Realm experts were, indeed, present. They stood in a void world created by someone who must have been a master in the spatial element, watching on. They had been idly chatting but the moment the black armored warrior appeared before Ryu, many of them stood, their pupils constricting into pinholes.
The World Sea Realm experts of the Martial Gods looked toward one another, the realization clear in their eyes.
In one particular location of the small void realm, Ryu's father-in-law, King Cultus, was indeed present. When it came to these matters, it was likely that he was only second in understanding to the Martial Gods themselves, so when he saw this change, he too was shocked.
'As someone who has a Partner from my Cultus Clan, it isn't a surprise that the Heavens would place so much hope in him. But, to think that it would actually be so infuriated… Is this talent going to die here?'
