บท 1945: Disrespect

"Next."

"STOP!"

Star River's roar came from the distance. She was so fast that the moment she appeared in everyone's vision, she seemed to have already arrived, her silver long gown fluttering into the wind.

Ryu gave her a glance and then continued to speak indifferently.

"Next."

"I SAID STOP! What are you doing?!"

"Challenging your disciples," Ryu replied plainly. "That's well within my right. So long as any one of them defeats me, they become the new Throne, isn't that it? I want to avoid the hassle so I came here to defeat all of them first."

This was, indeed, the case, though it was a very rare application of the Throne rules... and that was mostly because Ryu had explained it all too simply.

Technically speaking, because it was his third Throne, it was much easier to take the Throne away from Ryu. After all, he had to face Transcendeds during his challenge despite having only been a True Sky God at the time.
