Chapter 1868 Slow Deductions
"We\'ve killed three, subdued about fifty…"
Ryu\'s eyes narrowed. Should it be so easy to subdue these beasts? Now that he thought about it, these creatures were all the cream of the crop. They were existences that had all managed to reach Sovereignty despite having no one else\'s path to follow. Their Dao Hearts couldn\'t be measured in gallons; they had to be measured in oceans\' worth. Such creatures wouldn\'t bow and submit so easily.
Of course, Ryu knew this. This was why he had also prepared and planted slave seals within them for the time being. Even if they did have the intention of rebelling, there was little that they could do. And because the slave seal was anchored into Ryu\'s inner world, there shouldn\'t be any easy way for them to slip free at all.
Ryu\'s brows furrowed, confusion hitting him in waves. He definitely hadn\'t made any mistakes along the way, so what was going on? Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
\'No. I\'m looking at it the wrong way. Of course, I wouldn\'t have made any mistakes, I\'m not an idiot. Or more accurately, I wouldn\'t have made any obvious mistakes…\'
If he had made an obvious mistake that he could just casually recall, then he wouldn\'t be Ryu Tatsuya. The only explanations were either that he had done something wrong beneath layers of right decisions, hiding it from himself, or… there was a piece of the puzzle that he had been missing from the very beginning that made everything he had done wrong from the very outset.
\'Interesting…\'
Rather than being annoyed, Ryu was actually pleased. He had known from the beginning that his wife\'s troubles wouldn\'t be so easy. Let alone their group of three, this Beast Domain would probably be able to be handled by Ailsa\'s disciples.
Ailsa was a Cultus Faerie, and if she was in a bind she couldn\'t get through herself, taking on disciples was the smartest thing to do. With her skills, nurturing even armies of elites wouldn\'t be a problem. It also couldn\'t be forgotten that along with being a Cultus Faerie, Ailsa was also a Quibus Faerie hybrid. She had two complete paths within her body just like Ryu did. As a Quibus Faerie, Ailsa\'s ability to gather Summons and force Demons to be under her charge should be impossibly far beyond Ryu\'s ability to do so. Whether it was by raising an army of disciples or followers, or by raising an army of Demons, or even by way of both, there was definitely no situation that Ailsa should be unable to get herself out of. And as a selfish measure, Ryu didn\'t believe for a moment that his wife was so inferior. Ryu could defeat existences several Realms above him even in planes like the Ninth Heaven. How could Ailsa possibly be stuck in a battle of wits with regular Dao Gods?
Ryu stood in silence for a long time, thinking harder than he could remember ever having to. It was like the world was a series of firing synapses to him as he tried to take in everything. And then, it hit him.
