Chapter 614 Questioning Janus
Chapter 614: Questioning Janus
" Where can we find him? We have tried searching everywhere already. That guy is so tricky. Who knows, he probably already left Earth," Janus pointed out, sighing.
"Let’s just keep searching for now. We still haven’t finished the search," the God of War let out, not giving up. "No matter how hard it is, I want to find him at any cost! And I want to ask him why he took our kids!"
"Let’s get back to searching. And Janus, this time you’re coming with me. I want to talk to you about something," Goddess of Destiny commented as she grabbed the hand of Janus before disappearing.
She appeared in a completely different place on a faraway island.
"What did you want to talk about?" Janus asked the Goddess of Destiny, confused. He wondered why the Goddess of Destiny had taken him.
"I am going to ask you a question. You need to be honest with your answer. Don’t even think about lying," Goddess of Destiny let out, glaring at Janus.
The way she looked at Janus, it made him wonder if she had noticed something strange.
"I’ll try to be honest. Tell me what you want to ask?" Janus asked.
"Tell me where the Lord of Space is. I think you know about it. You’re just trying to save him by sending us on false trails, aren’t you? He’s your family friend, after all. There’s no way you hadn’t found him after so long. So tell me the truth, I promise you won’t be blamed," the Goddess of Destiny said.
"You think I know where he is?" Janus asked, smiling wryly. "Also, he was a family friend a long time ago. Not anymore. I don’t care about him at all now."
"I’m asking you once again. It’s just you and me. No one else will know. I only want my son safe. He can keep the others. Just tell me the truth. Why did he take our kids, and what does he want to do with them?" Goddess of Destiny again asked.
"I honestly have no idea. If I knew, I would have stopped him. I can see anything, but I can’t watch someone use young gods for their advantage. I would never have let him kidnap your sons. You can trust me on that," Janus stuck to his story, not saying anything more.
"So you really have no idea where he left be?"
"I don’t," Janus answered.
"Fine then. I’ll trust you. But Janus, trust my words too, we would find him. And when we do, we’ll know the truth. And if it turns out that you were involved in this in some way, you’ll certainly regret," the Goddess of Destiny warned Janus before she disappeared.
"I would certainly regret?" Janus muttered, rolling his eyes. "We will see about that."
Janus disappeared as well.
...
Ryder was inside his room, prepared to test one of his skills.
It was the world travel skill that allowed him to go to any world he had ever been to before. He wanted to go back to Divinity once again.
This time, he didn’t forget to wear his Royal Attire. Fortunately, Janus had left the system to him. He could still use most of his skills along with his inventory.
The System Store was also there, even now.
Ryder used his skill, disappearing from his room.
He appeared inside the Royal Palace. Fortunately, this time he didn’t appear in the bathing room of Miku. Instead, he appeared inside the Training Room, landing right in front of an attack from Rale.
The fist of Rale was coming towards his face.
....
Rale and another member of his team were training by battling each other. Rale had just attacked his opponent when a person appeared out of thin air. Since the distance was so close, Rale couldn’t stop in time, despite knowing that it was their King that had appeared.
He closed his eyes as regret filled his face, unable to believe that his punch was going to land on Ryder’s face.
Ryder didn’t let it happen though. He raised his hand at lightning fast speed to block the attack of Rale. His speed was faster than Rale’s, making him easily grab the fist of Rale.
"I see that you guys have been practicing? I apologize for barging in the middle. I was testing a skill. Didn’t know I was going to appear here," Ryder let out apologetically.
"Not at all. I should be the one apologizing for almost hitting you," Rale apologized. "I’ll accept any punishment."
"Don’t worry about it. It wasn’t your fault," Ryder said, stepping aside, freeing the palm of Rale. "You can continue your practice."
"We’re done already," Rale responded. He couldn’t ignore their King and continue practicing.
" Alright then. Come with me," Ryder said, leaving the training room. Rale followed closely behind.
"So, did you send an acceptance to the invitations?" Ryder asked.
"Yeah. The Kingdoms already replied as well. They said we’re welcome to come anytime we want," Rale answered.
"That’s good. Let’s go right now, then. It has been quite some time since I’ve been to those places. Go and inform the High Dukes that we’re leaving temporarily and tell them to take care of this place in my absence," Ryder told Rale, reaching his throne room.
As he sat on the throne, Rale left to inform the High Dukes. Since Ryder was a King now, he wasn’t prohibited from leaving this place.
Moreover, he had already proven to everyone that he was stronger than the High Dukes, so he was sure that no one was going to worry about him going alone.
Within minutes, Rale returned. He didn’t come alone. Instead, he came back with all the High Dukes.
The High Dukes weren’t here to stop him. Instead, they were here to wish him luck for his journey.
Even though they offered to go with him, they didn’t insist too much since Ryder was strong now.
After a small talk, Ryder left with Rale, going underground to the portals.
Using the keys, Ryder opened one of the portals, entering the Human World of Divinity.
This time, the portal opened right above a pond.
As soon as Ryder stepped out of the portal, he realized that there wasn’t ground under his feet. He started falling.
Before he could fall in the water, he started flying.
Rale was also able to fly, so he didn’t fall either.
"These random locations are getting annoying. I’m telling you, one day; this might open inside an active Volcano the way things are going," Ryder commented, glaring at the Portal behind him.
