Chapter 1977 Mistake

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Ryu and Hope appeared. And both couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that something had ended up going wrong anyway.

No. It was the right direction. The main problem was that the Human Emperor's Dao had bent their landing location.

It only took a glance for Ryu to understand.

The Human Emperor must have a strong control over the Human Race, and most importantly, the

Fate of the Human Race.

If he knew the Title of the man, he would be even more certain of his conclusion.

The Human Emperor had been making use of his Dao, doing his best to try and find Ryu using it as an extension. That ended up twisting the Fate around Ryu and caused him to appear here.

Obviously, the Human Emperor hadn't been trying to get him to teleport here, especially not when he was on his last legs and about to die. He had just wanted to increase his luck a bit in an attempt to find Ryu.

When he realized that he wasn't going to make it, he changed his tactics, trying to pour some of that Juck toward Ryu in hopes it would give him a better chance of escaping.

Unfortunately, that luck ended up getting twisted as Ryu and Hope tried to manipulate that same

Fate.

In the end, their destination became muddied and they ended up in the same dead end as the Human Emperor, facing off against a Higher God and Middle God.

'Seems my luck isn't all that great...'

The two Fiend Gods were taken aback. They had sealed off the region and didn't understand how anyone could make it in.

When they saw that it was likely to be Ryu, their target, they were even more stunned.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Was their luck so good?

Ryu sighed. 'I'm sorry, Hope. I made a misstep!"

Hope shook her head. She had already somewhat understood what happened as well, and it certainly wasn't Ryu's fault. If anything, she blamed herself. She was a Dao God but she actually had to rely on Ryu for something like this.

As powerful as Ryu's control over Fate was, how could it be stronger than the Human Emperor's? However, before she could say anything, she realized that Ryu had already moved on from the topic, focusing his attention on something new: survival.

The Human Emperor himself was the third to understand what happened. His face twisted with unwillingness, not understanding how he had picked up a rock just to drop it on his own foot.

"Hey, old man. Focus. Now's not the time to show that kind of face!

Ryu's voice astonished everyone but Hope. But soon they were going to learn that they weren't facing off against a normal Transcended.

Unfortunately, judging by his pale face, Ryu was pretty close to his last legs as well. His words might have sounded confident, but whether his bravado would actually get him anywhere was up in the air. However, Ryu's words did seem effective. At the very least, the old man cast a wary glance toward

the two Dao Gods, prepared for their attack.

At that moment, the two Fiend Gods seemed to have finally accepted the current situation.

The Middle God couldn't help but laugh. "Warden, it seems our luck isn't bad."

"Not bad, indeed..."

The Coldfang Warden.

The Glaciel Ring.

A pair of lee Fiend Gods felt like they had everything in hand.

'I can find a chance for you to escape. Can you use that skill again? The Human Emperor's voice echoed in Ryu's head.

Ryu didn't respond immediately. He had only wasted time speaking because he needed to snap the Human Emperor out of his lost state. Otherwise, they would die even faster.

But after that, he had practically closed off the world, his mind churning in three different directions at the same time.

The gap between Dao Gods was too large. Maybe if there were Lower Gods here he could have Hope deal with one or a few of them, but that was impossible now.

Hope wasn't a combatant to begin with. Although he didn't know her exact combat strength, he wouldn't let her face off against a Middle God, let alone a Higher God.

Their best bet was the Human Emperor. But not only was he weaker by comparison to the Coldfang Warden, he was now heavily injured as well.

'But, his strength comes from the Human Race... He'll be stronger now that he has to protect me, but it still isn't enough...'

The Human Emperor was starting to feel anxious. What was wrong with this child, why wasn't he answering? Even if the thinking speed of a Transcended should be much slower than his, it wasn't this exaggerated.

'No, old man. I'm completely spent right now, I can't do it again. Especially since this region is cut off! Ryu had a feeling that part of the reason he was so spent was because he had to break through this barrier before. He had thought that it was just the natural difficulty of the process, only to realize the problem too late.

Now, his stamina was practically at rock bottom and he simply didn't have much more to give.

"There's only one way...!

Ryu's gaze sharpened as he realized what he was going to have to do.

'Listen to everything I say. Don't miss a beat. Don't be slow!

'What about-

'Stop. Listen to me. And also, don't try to get my wife involved.

Ryu preemptively stopped the line of inquiry. In fact, he took Hope's hand and protected her at his back, his silver eyes blazing with light.

He was just going to have to do this the old-fashioned way.

The Human Emperor and the Fiend Gods were taken aback once more. Why was a Transcended protecting a Dao God? No, why was a Transcended even so intimate with a Dao God in the first.

place?

Having finally reached the end of their patience, the two Fiend Gods suddenly attacked.

At that same instant, Ryu's lips began to move.
