Chapter 622: Teams
The feast commenced in the night. Quite a few high-profile people from the Kingdom were invited on short notice to attend the feat. Princess Aslina was to be married to the King of Demon Realm. It was big news.
After the feast, Ryder went back to his room, where he was arranged to stay. Rale accompanied him.
The two of them stood at the window, looking outside at the beautiful city.
"Are you sure you want to marry Aslina? I think there are many great ladies in the Demon Realm too. They’ll be very disappointed to see you married outside," Rale informed Ryder, sighing.
"You think so? I doubt it. But yeah, even I sometimes have second thoughts, but then there’s this feeling inside me that tells me that it’s okay and that I wouldn’t worry about anything and just listen to my heart," Ryder replied, shaking his head.
"I’m just going with the flow now. But I do see my life becoming complicated in the future."
"Anyway, I’m leaving for the night. You can stay in my room. I should be back in the morning probably. If I’m late, so something to keep them busy," he reminded Rale before disappearing.
Ryder disappeared from the world of Divinity and appeared in the real world inside his room.
Since there was no update from Maya, it was clear that the gods weren’t closing in on him.
Taking his clothes off, he donned the clothes from earth and kept the clothes from Divinity back in his inventory before leaving the mansion.
As he stepped out of the mansion, he found a helicopter already waiting for him. The helicopter took him to the Airport, where a private jet was arranged to take Ryder to Egypt as well, where everyone else had gone on vacation.
He entered the jet, which took off after getting all the necessary permission.
...
As the flight was in the air, Ryder was served the food.
"Maya, where are those gods right now?" After finishing the breakfast, Ryder asked.
"Their location is unknown at the moment. None of them has been spotted in your surroundings though," Maya replied, sighing.
"So we don’t know where they are?" Ryder asked.
"They all disappeared after the last time we saw them. Their location is truly unknown. I tried searching the entire world at one point but didn’t find anyone," Maya replied.
"Hmm? Could it be that they left this world already?" Ryder asked, frowning.
"It’s possible," Maya nodded.
"That would be great if that’s the truth. If they leave, I can live my life freely," Ryder muttered, sighing. He did not keep his hopes high though.
"Maybe I won’t ever need to use that piece of paper in the future," he said. He was a bit relieved about it, but at the same time, he was upset about it as well.
He really wanted to see what happened when that paper was torn, but he was seriously warned to only use it in case of emergency. Without gods, that emergency was never going to arrive.
He already had most of his powers, thanks to Chaos. Small things could never threaten him. Only the gods could threaten him and force him to use that paper, but now that they were gone, he couldn’t even use that.
"Janus, are you all here?" He asked, wondering if Janus could answer him. But he still didn’t get an answer.
Sometimes he really felt that Janus had abandoned him. That guy hadn’t talked to him even once since Chaos left.
"Man, I feel really abandoned at this point," Ryder commented, sighing. "Is it the last of us? Probably we’ll never meet again unless our paths coincide as mine did with Chaos."
....
While Ryder was thinking about Janus, Chaos was busy in finding all the fragments and setting things up for the endgame.
Chaos appeared on a mountainous planet. It was a planet that was covered in the mountains entirely. It was also the same planet where Chaos had come to, right after separating from Ryder.
It was also the planet where he had tossed the speck of light that he had collected from Alice.
He landed on the tallest mountain in this world and sat down as if waiting for something.
"It should be the time soon," he muttered, closing his eyes.
Time kept trickling away, and soon, an hour passed.
Deep near the core of this world, a small speck of light was still going down, reaching the center of this world.
Soon, the speck of light reached the true core of the world. In the center of the world, a body was buried which hadn’t decayed even a little. It didn’t seem like that body belonged to a dead person. It was as if the person was only sleeping.
As the speck of light touched the body, it started shining slowly. The shine only kept getting brighter and brighter.
Back on the top of the mountain, Ryder felt a slight tremor. The planet where clouds never formed was soon covered in the clouds. The entire planet was covered in sunny clouds, which soon covered the entire planet.
A strange phenomenon also took place, forming what seemed like a world changing event.
Green grass started growing in the mountains. The completely barren planet was soon covered in grass entirely, turning green. Trees and flowers also started coming out of the ground, making this world a completely different place.
Chaos patiently waited.
...
In a different place, Janus was still being accompanied by the Goddess of Destiny, who was still suspicious of him.
"Are you never going to leave me alone? If you’re that suspicious of me, I can just go back to Heaven. I’m here to help you, not because I have some ulterior motive. If that’s how you are going to be, I might as well leave." Janus told the Goddess of Destiny, who was with him like a shadow.
"I’m not with you because I’m suspicious. It’s just that we all made a team of two, and you ended up with me. There was certainly no scheme in it either," The Goddess of Destiny said, shaking her head.
"This idea to make groups of two was your idea. Are you saying that you had no ulterior motives in it?’ Janus asked, smiling.
"Of course. We’re searching for the Lord of Space. We all know how strong he is. If one of us finds him, we might not be able to face him alone. That’s why a team of two was decided. This is safer as well as better for us," the Goddess of Destiny said.
