Kapitel 600: Tangible

Though he was prepared to hear it—or rather, he thought that he had been—Ryu still trembled beside himself. The words shook him to the core to the point it felt like the sky was collapsing. 

Most of Ryu's rage wasn't even aimed toward the Martial Gods, at least half of it was aimed toward his so-called great grandfather. At this point, Ryu didn't care what reasons he had. His great grandfather could have chosen not to step in for the benefit of the world and he still wouldn't care.
