Chapter 1587: Strength

Ryu felt his body settle down. 

It was an odd feeling, and it was almost embarrassing because he immediately thought of exactly what it felt like. He had spent a millennia as a mortal, dealing with much of everything else a mortal dealt with. Although, thankfully, his quality of food was so excellent that he didn't need to defecate, passing gas was just a natural part of the process anyway. 

He would have shook his head and laughed at himself. It really did feel like he had been holding in a fart for too long and finally got the chance to release it. A bloating he hadn't even known was in his body was released and his skin rippled with a golden light that spread into the surroundings. 

His mind felt at peace. No, his mind had already been mostly at peace, but it was like his boy had entered such a realm as well. It took him a moment to understand what it was, but then that eventually became clear as well.
