Divinity: Against the Godly System - Chapter 657: Arrival
Ryder had planned everything but what he didn’t plan was Nyx’s such Swift defeat. If he had known about this possibility, he would have been more careful.
He didn’t know that Ra could have been even stronger now than he was in the past. He was trapped now. He had killed three High Gods, but other gods were still left.
Moreover, the main opponent was Ra, who was standing between him and his son. And to top it all off, Nyx was out. He couldn’t even work with Nyx to engage Ra. Without Nyx, he had nothing. He didn’t even have Origin Immunity to survive a conflict.
The only thing he had was the piece of paper that Chaos had given him. It was as if he was drowning, and he only had that small piece of paper to save him.
Despite having that, he wasn’t very confident. Still, he wanted to at least try it. If not now, then when?
He had kept that piece of paper with him, mostly forgetting that it even existed.
He wanted his hand, bringing that piece of paper back in his hand.
“You want to give me a letter?” Ra asked, smiling at the sight of Ryder bringing a paper.
Ryder didn’t open the power. Instead, he held the paper between his thumbs and tore it.
Chaos had told him to tear the paper when he was in danger and had no other choice.
After tearing the paper, he held it firmly and looked around.
“What?”
He was confused. He tore the paper, but nothing happened. He couldn’t understand. Was this a prank by Chaos? This time couldn’t even attack weakly?
He could only scratch the back of his head. “This wasn’t a good prank.”
Even Ra looked at Ryder weirdly. He wondered if the kid had gone crazy in fear.
“I’ll repeat again. Use your last resort before I deliver your death!” He declared again.
“Use the last resort?” Ryder asked, smiling wryly. “What did you think I just did?”
“Whatever. It doesn’t matter anyway. I will help myself,” he declared before tossing the piece of paper away.
He started flying towards Ra.
Ra grinned as well. He didn’t toss Nyx away before flying to Ryder.
Ryder threw a punch. Ra did the same.
Boom~
Just as Ryder had expected, he was no match of the strength of Ra. He lost the first clash as his body flew back. Even the bones of his hand were broken.
He crashed in the distance.
However, he wasn’t an idiot. He already knew what was needed for the clash .he couldn’t understand what was going to happen if he just used his raw strength. Still, he went with that for one purpose.
His only goal was to touch Ra once.
We Ryder’s fist got in contact with Ra; he left behind a small mark on Ra’s fist.
Ra raised his hand, frowning.
The small speck of others started burning. Powerful wave of flame came out of the speck of light, swallowing Ra entirely.
Ryder used the time when Ra was busy to appear before him.
He grabbed Nyx and flew back.
He needed Nyx to be up to have any chance of fighting. After freeing Nyx, he started using his Healing to wake up Nyx again.
On the other end, Ra calmly clapped his hand, destroying the fire that was surrounding him.
He looked back at Ryder, smiling. “Didn’t I tell you already? You are just delaying your inevitable death.”
Ra started walking towards Ryder.
…
On the other side, the piece of paper that Ryder had torn finally landed on the ground and burst into. Flames. The flames spread in a circle, forming a formation with complicated lines intersecting.
“Come on, Nyx! Wake up! What did he do to you?!” Ryder exclaimed in frustration.
Nyx didn’t open his eyes though. He was out cold for some reason.
“He won’t wake up for a couple of hours. His mind is trapped in a maze at the moment. And that maze can’t be broken that easily by him after getting trapped,” Ra smiled.
“Now, shall we start with you?” He raised his hand towards Ryder.
As soon as Ra raised his hand, a strange yet powerful force started acting on Ryder’s body which pulled him towards Ra.
Ryder tried resisting, but he couldn’t for some reason. He only had borrowed strength and that too half of a person who was already weaker than Ra.
Within seconds, Ryder found his throat in the hand of Ra.
“I expected better. But then again, you are a fake after all. So I can’t expect anything more,” Ra said. His face was still not visible through the cloak.
He prepared to kill Ryder.
“Hmm? What’s this dark aura?” He abruptly said as he looked behind.
On the ground, he could see a flaming formation, and the dark aura was sleeping in this world through that formation.
Suddenly, thousands of shadows came out of the formation, surrounding the formation circle. All the shadows took the shape of pitch-black beasts.
“Nightmare Beasts from the Nether?” The Goddess of Destiny exclaimed.
There were billions of Dark Creatures in the Dark Realm known as Nightmare Beasts. It was because of them that all the gods avoided going into the Nether, which consisted of ninety percent of the entire space in this universe.
How did this suddenly come here?
From another place, the other High Beasts also came. “We couldn’t find his family. Huh? What happened here? Why are Nightmare Beasts here?”
The Nightmare Beasts were creatures that weren’t created by Nyx or Ra either. They were the beasts that appeared from the darkness on their own. They couldn’t be killed entirely.
They could only be destroyed, but that respawned again in the Nether. That’s why these beasts were a mess. It was much easier to stay away from the Nether than facing these beasts.
However, the beasts didn’t come on their own. Instead, they were sent here by someone else.
A door came out of the flaming formation as well. The pitch-black door slowly opened, and two people stepped out.
In the lead was a man.
“Chaos…” The Goddess of Destiny commented.
Chaos had stepped out of the door. His left hand had the bracelet, which was completed now. And as the bracelet was completed, it was giving immense strength to Chaos which was enough for him to control all of reality.
Moreover, his aura alone was comparable to the aura of Ra. And he also had Origin Immunity without having the weakness of Nyx for being trapped.
At the same time, he was holding a dark sword in his right hand, which was called the Nether Sword, as it also appeared in the Nether, made from all the darkness.
