Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 547 Preparing for Aluren

Chapter 547: Preparing for Aluren

The First King walked upstairs and started checking the rooms as he called out to the Second King, but there was no response.

Soon, he reached Ryder’s room and pushed the door open to see if there was anyone inside. As he tried to push the door open, he found it locked.

"Locked room? From inside? It wasn’t locked last time," he thought as he frowned.

"Tennor, are you inside?" The first King called out, but there was no response from inside.

After no response, the First King finally decided that he needed to break the door. There was a chance that Ryder was inside.

He kicked the door open as he barged inside.

As soon as he entered, his lips opened slightly as he actually found someone inside.

"Tennor, you’re here? Why weren’t you replying?" The First King asked as he actually found the Second King inside, reading what seemed like a file.

"Why would I reply? I knew that you would break the door yourself. So I didn’t feel the need to scream. Anyway, I was busy reading this file," the Second King said as he showed the file which was in his hand.

"I was checking the rooms to find Ryder’s room. I wanted to search his room to see if we could find anything about him from his belongings, and it seemed like my decision was right," he added. "This file proves a lot of things."

"What’s in the file?" The First King asked as he stepped forward.

"Read yourself. I’m sure you’ll be surprised too," the Second King said as he raised his hand towards the First King, telling him to take the file from his hand.

The Second King reached out his hand and took the file before he started reading it.

"Huh? What’s this? There are only a few strange lines in the fi..."

As the First King took the file in his hand, he saw the first page, which seemed to contain nothing but a bunch of lines that were strange. But there also seemed something strange about these lines.

The First King was just asking the Second King about it when he realized that his eyes were getting tired. He was feeling extremely sleepy. He couldn’t even finish his sentence before he dropped to the ground, falling asleep.

The Second King looked at the First King, who had fallen asleep as he said, "As easy as taking candy from a kid."

He was none other than Ryder, who was using the disguise of the Second King. His disguise was so perfect that even the aura was the same.

The file which was in the hand of the First King was lying on the ground now, but the strange words that were on it had gone missing. Only blank pages could be seen now.

"I really feel like a scheming Assassin—doctor Artifacts. I’m spending my Origin Points points like I’m rich on them, but it’s worth it. I only wonder how I’ll pay back the coins to Janus that I took from him as a loan. He’ll surely make me do a few weird quests," he muttered as he sat down near the First King before he brought his knife out and got to work.

The First King was only sleeping. Ryder didn’t want to allow him to wake up, or all this effort would go to waste.

He killed the First King right away before he placed his hand on the first King and started absorbing his strength.

With this, the last King was also gone, becoming the strength of Ryder.

"It’s all over. I am prepared. I have all the strength I possibly could, and now, time for Aluren," Ryder said as he started leaving the room.

[No! You can’t fight him yet. You just gained all this strength, but you need to let your body adjust to it and learn to use it effectively. You can’t use this strength well. First, learn how to use it. You have some time.]

Just as Ryder was planning to leave, he heard the Voice of Janus in his head, advising him against it.

Ryder’s leaving steps stopped as he realized what Janus was trying to say.

It’s just like when he absorbed Luke’s strength. He couldn’t control that power without putting in an effort. On the other hand, now he has much more strength.

He needed to train himself as much as he could within the next day or so to make his body compatible with his powers and to make him more efficient in knowing his strength and weakness.

"I agree. I was being too hasty. Since you talk so high about Aluren, I can’t fight against him. I need to be at my best when facing him," Ryder said before he turned back and walked over to a window.

He pushed the window open before he jumped outside and left.

...

Time kept passing slowly as Aluren waited on the sofa.

The first King had left to find the Second King, but finally, Aluren was starting to wonder. It had been twenty minutes, but the second King hadn’t returned.

As for Gander, he had also left, citing the reason that he needed to attend an urgent business meeting.

What was happening in his surroundings? Finally, suspicions were setting in as the curtains of arrogance were being opened by the hands of his suspicions.

Almost all the Kings were missing. He knew he told them that they were allowed to leave but still, all of them leaving at the same time, that didn’t make sense.

Moreover, the First and the Second King barely left his side without telling him, but even the two weren’t returning now.

He finally decided to call the kings to satisfy his curiosity and to make sure that he was just thinking too much.

As he called the numbers of the King, the numbers were switched off. One after another, he tried all Kings, but none of the calls connected, making him sure that something was really wrong.

"This is a scheme of that, Ryder. He did something. This whole thing was planned by him. And that Gander, he must also be a part of this! That bastard! I will give him the most painful death for working against me!" Aluren said as he stood up.

"Ryder went on a vacation just before we came and the missing of the kings! It was his scheme. But to be able to make all my Kings go missing in such a short time, his strength can’t be ordinary. Was Itsuki right? Another god-son is here?"

"Could Ryder actually be a god-son?"

A deep frown appeared on Aluren’s forehead as many thoughts floated through his head, all related to Ryder and how he could be a god-son.

...

Ryder had already left the Maxwell Estate as he went back to his car, which was parked inside a faraway corner.

He started driving away as he took the car to the abandoned building, which was beside his building office.

The abandoned building was the place where he has trained before as well. And even now, he wanted to train here since no one came inside the building.

Unlike before, he even parked his car inside this abandoned building, unlike the last time when he had parked his car outside his building.

He didn’t want anyone to know that he was here, and since his office was nearby, taking the car inside the abandoned building was a better option.

Parking the car inside, Ryder walked over to the room to start his practice.

...

Janus also landed on Earth, coming down from the god realm.

Landing on Earth, he stretched out his arms as he yawned. So this is earth. The atmosphere here isn’t half bad. Not as pure as our place but still good," Janus said, smiling.

"Now, time to find the Lord of Space. According to the envoy, he was last seen here. Even though I doubt that he would still be here, I need to start from here."

At the moment, he was in the country of Germany where one of the God Sons was residing. It was also the place where the Lord of Space was seen last time.

A young god, looking like an ordinary kid, walked through the cities of Germany, appearing and disappearing at different places in search of the Lord of Space.

Within a few hours, he had checked the entire country of Germany. He also happened to appear near Julien, who was one of the Seven god-sons who was assigned to Germany for his trial.

Janus knew that Ryder would also need to kill Julien to achieve his goals. Even though it was unfortunate since Chaos actually had no enmity with these kids, but Janus was adapting according to the situation.

Moreover, it wasn’t as if he was making Chaos kill them. He was making Ryder do it. It was his technical loophole for his justification. Also, it wasn’t for no reason. These people were coming after him first.
