DIVINITY: AGAINST THE GODLY SYSTEM

Chapter 173 The Uprising



Chapter 173: The Uprising

Ray was a leader now. It was like this whole event had given him a wake-up call.

His team’s life and the mission was his responsibility more than it was of his team. He was also influenced by his fleeting emotions because of his savior’s death.

"Riya, give me my phone," He told Riya. He had left his phone back before he had gone undercover.

Riya returned the phone.

Ray first called the captain to give him the update about the events that unfolded here, and he also told him to send more people so that they could search for the bodies of the ones that died in the blast if their bodies were still intact.

Some distance away from the location of the blast was a small hotel where Ryder’s room was booked.

He appeared in the room with Okala because of the effects of the talisman.

"Sigh, it’s not home, but it’s the next best thing," Ryder muttered as he glanced around the room.

"See, I told you that I already won. You want to see something?" Ryder chuckled as he pointed towards the window.

Okala looked out and saw a big cloud of smoke in the sky at a distance.

He looked at Ryder in confusion, not understanding what he was trying to show him.

"That’s from the blast that happened in the underground hall. Your men are probably blown to smithereens now. It’s over for you," Ryder met out as he looked at Okala.

"You are not a normal human. Who are you?" Okala asked in a grave tone.

"I’m a god that controls your life and death. I can give you life if you answer my questions honestly, or I can give you a painful death if you lie to me," Ryder said with a subtle smile on his face.

Ryder brought a handcuff out of his pocket and placed them on the man’s hand.

"Sit on the bed. If you screamed even once or if you tried to do anything funny, then you will see a second blast up close and personal. This time, I won’t take you with me, though," Ryder warned the old man.

He brought his phone out of his storage and unlocked it.

He went to the gallery and opened the picture of his parents.

"What do you know about these two people?" Ryder asked the old man as he showed him the image.

"I don’t know anything about them. I haven’t even seen them before. Are you looking for them?" the old man asked.

"So you don’t know them, but that doesn’t mean that your boss won’t. Tell me more about your organization. Who controls it? When did your organization become active for the first time?" Ryder asked the man.

"I am not going to answer your question. I am more scared of Master than I am of you," Okala declared as he refused to talk.

"I knew that you wouldn’t cooperate, which is why I prepared something. Unfortunately, your body will be paralyzed forever if I use my method. I’m giving you another chance to save yourself. If you are paralyzed, it would be almost equal to death. Think carefully and answer me," Ryder warned Okala.

The man shook his head, refusing to give up even though he looked somewhat concerned.

Ryder sighed as he shook his head. He waved his hand as he brought an item outside.

It was a syringe that looked like the ones doctors used. Ryder stepped forth and forced the man down before he stabbed the needle in the man’s chest and inserted the liquid in the body of the man.

Ryder moved back after doing what he needed. Okala’s body started trembling as if he was suffering through a seizure.

After three minutes, the old man turned silent. His body stopped moving. His eyes were blank, but they were open. It was as if he was intoxicated and couldn’t think for himself or move his body.

"Answer my question. What is your name?" Ryder asked the man.

"My name is Okala," the man replied blankly.

"What is the organization you work for called?" Ryder asked Okala.

"It’s called The Uprising," Okala answered.

"How long has it been since your organization became active?" Ryder inquired.

"I don’t know. I don’t have memories from more than ten years ago. The last thing I remember was waking up ten years ago and meeting Captain Darksoul. The organization was active at that time," Okala explained.

’If it was activated ten years ago, then it was active at the time of the accident as well,’ Ryder thought as he looked down. The death of his parents happened in the last ten years.

"Who is this, Captain Darksoul? Is he the leader of your organization?" Ryder asked Okala.

"No, he’s not our master. Captain Darksoul is one of the Seven Great Generals of Master," Okala answered.

"Are the Seven Great Generals, the second in commands in the Organisation?" Ryder asked.

’Yes," Okala answered Ryder’s questions blankly.

"Where is the headquarters of your organization?" Ryder inquired.

"It’s in..." Okala was about to speak when a small blast happened in his brain, killing him in an instant.

"No, no, no.... it can’t be happening!" Ryder exclaimed as he ran towards Okala, but it was too late. Okala was dead. There was a hole in his head.

Ryder used his time Rewind to go 1 minute back in time to prevent the man from dying.

Instead of asking the same question, he asked about the secret of the thing in his head so that he could find a clue of preventing him from dying while still asking the question, but it was still the same. It ended with a hole in his head as the chip activated as soon as the man thought about talking about the chip.

"Those bastards! They did something to him to prevent him from leaking any significant information! I will kill you, bastards!" Ryder roared in anger.

He was upset at having to lose his only lead that he worked so hard to get. He was so close to the answers about the organization. He believed that as long as he found the core of the organization, he would be able to get answers, but now it was all over.

He was furious when he heard a knock on the door.

"Sir, are you alright?" the person outside asked.

"I am fine," Ryder let out as he started taking off his bloodied clothes. He placed the bloodied clothes back in his storage

"Sir, can you open the door?" the person outside asked. It was the hotel staff who was concerned after hearing Ryder’s scream.

He also placed the bedsheets and the body of the men in his storage and made sure that there was no blood anywhere.

"Don’t disturb me! I’m going for a shower."

Ryder told them not to disturb him before he walked into the shower. His body was still covered in blood. He wanted to shower and clean himself.

The hotel staff was even more concerned as the door wasn’t opened.

They walked back to inform the Manager about it.
