Ryu's eyes blurred, blood vessels popping one after another as crimson streaks fell down his cheeks. Trying to complete reverse the Fate of an Omniscient Sky God, who had been hit by at least half the strength of a Dao Lord, and separate to kill over a dozen Perfect and Transcendent Sky Gods at once, all as a mere False Sky God himself, was something beyond just playing God.
Teasing apart Hope's Fate was particularly difficult because it was so tied to his own, but the damage his own body had taken was far too little to kill these Sky Gods. If anything, it would just tickle them a little bit.
Even so, that foundation was part of the reason he felt that he could succeed. Swapping the Fates of others was one thing, but tugging and pulling at the Fates of so many at once was a completely different tier of difficulty.
