Ryu's booming proclamation was like a bomb being set off in the martial world. Whether it was those Sky Gods across worlds that heard it, or the individuals of the Armament Guild who suddenly understood just what kind of young man they were dealing with, there wasn't a single soul who didn't understand.

Tatsuya. Ryu Tatsuya.

The moment Ryu claimed this name for himself, a surge of Fate that was all his own accumulated around his Fate Star. There was no doubting who he was and what he represented. There was even less to doubt about his talent and what his future accomplishments would be should he grow to that point.

In that moment, a gorgeous beauty appeared to Ryu's side. Her golden hair fell like the dew drops of the Gods and her crimson gaze carried an enigmatic depth to them. Her curves were perfectly proportioned and simultaneously outrageous, filling all those who laid eyes on her with wild and raging thoughts they couldn't control. But, as close as those curves seemed, they were hidden beneath a beautiful flowing white dress.

There was only one beauty like this in the martial world and it was without a doubt Ailsa who had entered her true form. She shook her head lightly, giggling to herself.

"Husband, you're too reckless sometimes."

The voice was soft and soothing. Even after spending years hearing it echo in his mind, Ryu had never grown tired of it. And, in this fury laced state of his, it was like a calming tide over his heart, finally allowing him to take a deep breath and slowing the sparking flames that flew from his mouth.

Ailsa's dainty feet walked by Ryu and appeared above False Sky God Gione's mutilated corpse. The dichotomy of such a beauty and such a gory scene felt almost blasphemous. But, Ailsa didn't seem moved by it at all.

Her crimson gaze glowed, the depths of her irises reflecting a complicated formation. She stretched her hand forward, her cherry lips moving.

Having lost her virginity to Ryu, there was something decidedly womanly and charming about the current Ailsa that had never been there before. Her every movement was enticing and filled with charisma, even the silent rhythm of her moving lips was like a hypnotic ritual, pulling those watching into a trance.

A dense and complex jade formation appeared above False Sky God Gione. It rotated and glowed, causing the lump of blood and gore to tremble and vibrate.

Soon, an accumulation of qi surged upward, rapidly coalescing about the middle of the formation. The pulsing power of the qi alone was enough to make those beneath the Sky God Realm tremble, accelerating backward.

"What do you want, Little Ryu? I can either make him into a corpse puppet, or I can reform his Godhood."

Ailsa's words were shocking to an extreme. But, Ryu, who had already calmed watched on as though this was just another day. One ability reflected Ailsa's new strengths as a naturally awakened Quibus Faerie, and the other reflected Ailsa's strengths as a Cultus Faerie.

As a Quibus Faerie, Ailsa could make Ryu's life as a necromancer easier by what felt like an infinite degree. The Ryu of the past wouldn't even have the skill to refine a False Sky God into a Corpse Puppet. And, beyond that, he wouldn't have the strength to control one after their death either.

The current Ryu could probably just barely control a Dao Pedestal Realm corpse puppet on his own. However, when he worked in tandem with Ailsa and her World Sea Realm level soul, not to mention relied on his own Indestructible Soul, controlling a fallen Sky God like this one wasn't impossible.

On the opposing side, there was the reforming of a Godhood. This was obviously an ability of the Cultus Faeries.

A Godhood was the core of a Sky God and represented their strength. The highest form of energy in the martial world was Cosmic Qi, there was no other elevated form. However, what separated a World Sea Realm expert from a Sky God was that a Sky God could refine their qi and raise it up with their Godhood.

Cosmic Qi was essentially the foundation of a world and a Godhood, on an individual scale, could be considered the foundation of another. A Sky God could use their interpretation of their world to mold Cosmic Qi into their image, outputting a strength beyond what this world alone could create.

In the end, a God hood wasn't just comprehension, but it was also a vast store of qi and the infantile stages of a world's formation.

There were any number of things that could be done with such a treasure. Just in a few moments, Ailsa had already thought of dozens of possibilities. But, as many as she could think of, she was certain that Ryu could think of the same.

In the end, she left the choice up to Ryu.

"What do you think?" Ryu asked. "It could probably do it, right?"

Ailsa smiled. "Should be possible. There's a better than 80% chance it can bring it to the brink of the Immortal Realms up from its current Mortal state."

Ryu nodded. "Then Godhood it is."

Ailsa didn't hesitate after hearing these words, continuing with her work as though the two hadn't become the absolute center of attention.

Ryu felt a tug at his sleeve, only to turn back and find Yaana looking up at him with a nervous expression.

"You're too reckless!" Ryu was about to go on a tirade after he suddenly remembered what Yaana and done. But, before he could do so, Yaana's worried expression turned into a malevolent glare.

Calling her reckless? Which of them was reckless, exactly?! Yaana really wanted to give him a piece of her mind.

Seeing that she was about to blow, Ryu coughed lightly, changing gears as smoothly as a professional. His draconic form faded and he looked away, his expression completely unlike the man who had just put the whole martial world on notice.

"Nice weather we're having today, hm?"
