Chapter 660 - 656: Last Resort
"So that’s what it was. You couldn’t do anything until I let him out," Ryder said, rubbing his chin.
"That’s right. Now that he’s out of you, you’re useless for us. We don’t need you anymore. So die!" The High God’s figure flickered as he appeared before Ryder instantly, grabbing him by his throat.
"Blame your luck that you were involved with the wrong people. If you hadn’t, you wouldn’t be in this situation!" The High God said. A cloud of fire came out of his hand, surrounding Ryder.
The fierce fire that could burn even steel was glazing brightly.
However, Ryder’s figure could still be seen inside occasionally. He wasn’t burning at all.
"I can blame my luck. But who will you blame?" Ryder asked, grinning.
He opened his mouth and started sucking all the fire inside.
Within seconds, he swallowed all the flames.
The High Gods didn’t know that Ryder had the Flame Immunity at the moment. It was gifted to him by Nyx like all the other abilities. In fact, Nyx had recovered more strength than he was showing. But he shared the strength with Ryder, leaving himself weaker.
He had literally given half his strength to Ryder. And the plan wasn’t very complicated either. Since Nyx had Origin Immunity, he couldn’t be killed. He could only be trapped.
So all he had to do was keep Ra engaged for a little time, at least until Ryder could take care of all the gods that were left behind. After Ryder saved his son and sent him to a safe place, he could join with Nyx, and the two could fight Ra together.
Now that the first part of the plan was finished by Nyx, who took Ra away, Ryder was free to deal with the rest. And with the help of Nyx’s strength, it was a child’s play for him.
"Now my turn," he grinned like a Devil as he grabbed the throat of the High God in return. He also used the same trick, but he didn’t release fire from his hand. Instead, he opened his mouth again and breathed out fire.
His fire was the fire of a True God like Nyx, which could burn anything. No god could survive this fire until they had Origin Immunity which was only possessed by some rare people.
"Argh! Stop!"
Being burnt by flames, the High God could only scream in pain. He tried freeing himself, but he couldn’t do that as the space was sealed. He could only cry in pain and hope that others came to help him.
After the Initial Shock, the other gods finally came out of their daze.
"Free him!" The other High Gods roared as they ran towards Ryder.
"Too late." Ryder smirked. It was already over. The High God was dead, and nothing but ashes were left of him.
"Next is your turn," he added as he calmly clapped his hand. A domain spread around him, covering all the Gods. The God of Time was gone, so no one could oppose this time domain. Ra wasn’t here as well.
Everything inside Ryder’s domain slowed down to one hundredth of a second.
"Enjoying yet?" Ryder asked, appearing behind another High God. He thrust his hand ahead, which had changed into a claw.
The claw stabbed the chest of the High God, releasing the same fire but this time from inside the body of the second High God.
It only left the Third High God. The rest had gone to earth. He didn’t even bother about minor gods at the moment. In his eyes, only one more person was left.
Ryder appeared before the third High God, who was moving extremely slowly in the time domain.
This time, He simply placed his palm on the face of the third High God. The same fire came again, working as the best and most favorite weapon of Ryder against the Gods.
The third High God was also burnt.
Ryder glanced at the other gods, grinning like a devil. The goddess of Destiny was so scared of his gaze; she took a step back. However, Ryder didn’t go after them. He had taken care of High Gods, and these small gods were no threat to him.
First, he decided to free his son and Janus.
He walked closer to the cage.
"Janus, we meet again. How have you been, old friend?" Ryder asked, looking at Janus.
Janus was slightly surprised to see the strength of Ryder. This guy certainly had an adventure of his own after Janus left.
"So that’s why I couldn’t feel you. I thought you were dead," Janus said, coughing in between sentences. "It’s so good to see you safe. And congratulations on the wedding and kids. Sorry I couldn’t attend."
"No worries, little brother," Ryder said calmly. "There will be more opportunities. First, let’s get you and my son out of here."
Ryder reached out his hand towards the cell to destroy it.
Just as his hand was about to touch the cage, it flickered. The cage disappeared with Janus and the little boy.
"What?" Ryder exclaimed in shock.
"Who dares!" he turned around, thinking that it was the work of a minor God that he left behind. However, as he turned back, his lips opened slightly.
"Good trick. But I have a feeling that you made one of the two mistakes. You either underestimated me or overestimated yourself. I mean, fighting him without his full strength? That was simply boring. But it’s good too. I was able to see you in action."
"Not bad. You certainly earned the right to be killed by me."
Right in front of Ryder, the cloaked man was standing. He was none other than Ra. His right hand was holding onto Nyx’s neck, who wasn’t moving.
"Did you kill him? How?" Ryder asked, wondering how it was possible. Didn’t Nyx have Origin Immunity?
"Dead? He isn’t dead. He has Immunity. I just put him to a little sleep after finding his little trick so I could deal with another rat first." Ra answered.
"Any other trick you have?" he asked. "Because that little strength of yours isn’t going to cut it."
Ryder’s face twitched unwillingly. How did everything turn so bad so fast? The cage was now behind Ra. And he couldn’t defeat Ra. He knew that much.
He wondered what he could do. What could help him?
"Go ahead. Use whatever last resort you have. Don’t give up so easily," Ra said, treating Ryder like a beast who was at the end of his life.
"Last resort?" Ryder muttered, remembering something.
He remembered about the paper which Chaos had given him to be used as a last resort in case of absolute emergency.
He wasn’t sure if that little thing could help him much. Even Chaos couldn’t have expected he would end up facing Ra after all.. But still, he wanted to try.
