Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 659 - 655: Trick

Ryder shook his head, cursing himself in his mind for not trusting in Janus.

The guy was trapped here, and he kept blaming him. However, he still couldn’t understand why Janus was trapped.

It couldn’t be because of him since these people didn’t know about him knowing Janus. Was it because of Chaos? Then where was his other self? Was he already killed?

"Get out of daze, young man," Ra said calmly. "I’m sure you had a fun time playing with a god’s strength. Send Nyx out and take your family. I’ll let you leave with your wife and the others," Ra said, looking back. He observed Ryder’s son. "However, this young boy, he would stay with him."

"The choice is yours. Be a good boy and leave safely with family. All you’ll lose is a son, but you can make more kids in the future. Or you can be stubborn and watch me tear you in half and kill you. Whatever suits you," he continued.

Ryder took a deep breath.

"Fine. I’ll let him out. And I’m ready to leave my son behind. But you must free my family first," Ryder replied.

Ra snapped his finger, making the prison fly to Ryder. After reaching him, the prison disappeared, freeing his wives, daughter, and the family of Shu.

"Are you alright?" Ryder asked everyone, going down on his knees.

"What is happening here? These people! Our son! All this magic! What is all this?" Alice asked Ryder.

"Ah, it’s a long story. But you remember I asked you one time if you believed in gods?" Ryder asked. "These are those gods. They are real. And they want something from me. That’s why they brought you here. Everything will be fine. Don’t worry."

Ryder touched the face of his wife gently, making her stand up.

"I freed your family. Now bring Nyx out," Ra commanded Ryder.

Ryder took a deep breath. "I’m letting him out. But first, I want my family sent back to earth safely."

Ra frowned. "You have quite a lot of demands for a young human. But it’s nothing big. So I’ll make it happen."

He snapped his fingers. "The Spatial Block is temporarily removed. You can send them back home. But remember, if you try to be clever, you’ll suffer."

"I’m sending you back, alright."

"What about you and my son?!" Alice asked.

"I have one more thing to do. After that, I’ll be back," Ryder replied before sending his family back.

A white portal appeared under their feet. They disappeared.

"Can we begin now?" Ra asked, smiling. "Bring Nyx out. It’s finally time I meet my old friend again."

"Old friend or old enemy?" Ryder asked, engaging the man in conversation.

...

Back on earth, Alice and the others appeared back at the mansion.

Shu still couldn’t believe that he wasn’t hallucinating, and it was all true.

"All this... I knew he was different, but all this..." He muttered blankly.

"Ah, you’re all back. That’s good." A calm yet old voice came from the back.

"Who?" Everyone turned back, shocked.

"Don’t worry. I am High Duke Oris. We are with Ryder. He brought us here to take care of you," High Duke Magna came out of the shadows.

He gave some bracelets to everyone.

"Wear these. According to Ryder, these can hide your aura," High Duke Oris also came out and explained.

"Hmm? You are... Are you even human?" Shu asked, stepping before the ladies to protect them.

"We aren’t. We are demons. But no need to fear. We work for Ryder. As I said, this place is risky, so he commanded us to take you to a safe place so gods won’t be able to find you," High Duke Oris said.

"But how can we trust you? What if you’re one of them?" Esmi asked.

"Would we be asking for your Permission then? We are strong enough to take you forcefully," High Duke Magna said, frowning.

"Calm down, Magna. He did say that they might not trust us. That’s why he left this," High Duke Oris brought out a device and Pressed a button in it.

As he pressed the button, a holographic image appeared from the device, showing Ryder.

"Alright. First of all, if you’re hearing this message, that means I succeeded in sending you back from Heaven. Now don’t waste time. They might come after you again. I’m sending my trusted people behind. They’ll take you and keep you hidden in my other home. So don’t waste time and do as they say," Ryder said.

"Oh, and don’t worry. Everything is going to be fine. I’ll make everything alright. So don’t worry," he added before his hologram disappeared.

"Do you trust us now?" High Duke Oris asked. "So wear these bracelets. He made these himself. After that, we’ll take you to a safe place while he keeps them distracted."

Alice and the others took the bracelet and wore them.

After that, both the High Dukes caught the hands of the group and disappeared.

They went back to the world of Divinity. Since they were wearing the bracelet as well, no trace of the Teleportation was left behind. Even gods couldn’t find where they could have teleported.

....

"Enough nonsense. Send him out!" Ra said after hearing nonsense from Ryder for five straight minutes.

He wasn’t interested in answering Ryder about his relationship with Nyx.

"I’ll count to three this time. If you don’t, I’ll actually kill you." Ra stated.

"Man, you’re so rude. Whatever. I’m sending him out."

Ryder took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"Alright, friend. Time to go out. I’m sorry, but my life is more important than yours. I hope you can understand," he said.

"Heh, the humans and their fear of death. It’ll never change," the Goddess of Destiny commented, smiling.

A small speck of light came out of Ryder’s chest, taking the shape of Nyx.

"Ah, Nyx. Should I welcome you back?" Ra asked, seeing Nyx. "You really hid well and inside a human at that?"

"Excuse me, but if you had enough talk, can I go back?" Ryder asked.

"Nope. If I release the Spatial seal again, my friend here might escape too. So I have a better plan," Ra smiled.

"What plan?" Ryder asked.

Ra’s figure flickered as he appeared before Nyx. He grabbed Nyx by his throat before flying up.

"The plan to kill you and his family." One of the High Gods finished the sentence of Ra.

He looked back at the others. "Go and kill his family."

The second High God disappeared.

"May I ask why you’re breaking your promise? If you wanted me dead, why didn’t you kill me before?"

"Heh, because if the host had died, the soul of Nyx might have disappeared with your reincarnated cycle.. So we had to let you bring him out first," High God asked, not knowing that Ryder already knew this.
