Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 293
Advertisement
Ryder heard the notification in his head, which brought a smile to his face. It was finally the time he was waiting for. He had taken another step in the path of unsealing the entire Bracelet of Immortality. The fourth Fragment was finally found. He had found it in a place he had least expected and so quickly at that.
As he held the blue crystal in his hand, which disappeared as it got absorbed in his bracelet. At the same time, Ryder sent the rest of the chain in his storage before others could notice that just the crystal had disappeared out of nowhere.
After the Fourth Fragment of the bracelet was absorbed by it, even more notifications kept resounding in his head, which informed him more about this fragment. He was informed about the skill he had received from the fragment.
[Bracelet of Immortality: Forth Seal has been broken]
[Skill Received: Ruler of Water]
[+10 Level ]
'So it's a water element. I wonder how the skills are,' he thought as he excitedly opened the information about the skill he received.
'Underwater breathing. This can be pretty useful. It's also a Passive Skill. At Least I won't drown now,' Ryder thought jokingly as he shook his head.
He wanted to open the Description of Blessed by water to see what it was about. Generally, the Active Skills were the ones that gave out more strength from what he had seen so far, so he was excited to see what was in the store for him, but as he was going to do it, he heard the voice of Prince Asmadeus.
"You got what you wanted now. Can you leave? I have more matters to discuss with the Vampire King to clear his misunderstanding," Prince Asmadeus told Ryder.
Ryder closed the screen as he remembered that he was still in between something.
"Leave? What's the hurry? I seem to remember that we didn't come here for this bracelet. We came here for Elisia. We want to meet her and ask her some questions. If we are satisfied with her answer and her apology, we can discuss further; otherwise, we would insist on taking her with us. It depends on you guys how you want to handle this. Just know, I'm being very considerate here now. All I want is some answers from her and an apology," Ryder told his Death Domain counterpart as he smiled.

"Sigh, Prince Hades. I've been giving you my humility all this while, not because I'm afraid of you or the Demon Realm behind you but because I don't want a war. That doesn't mean I would hate if a war does begin. You would be on the risk of losing just as much as me, so stop acting like you're at a high here," Prince Asmadeus fired back as a strange dark, and intimidating aura appeared around him.
"As for the current situation, you're at my home, with one fourth our strength. I can kill you easily just by mobilizing two Death Envoys. Even if I don't take help from Death Envoys and just have them hold back the help you brought, I can still kill you easily. I can see your strength. You're as weak as an ant. Without the help from your Death Domain, you would be nothing but an insignificant ant. So you should learn some humility as well. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how you died," Prince Asmadeus replied, shaking his head.
" Who told you that I would have the risk of losing as much as you? Don't forget that our King is still alive, and I can call him for help if things really get to such a point. So you should be the one worrying instead. I'll leave the choice to you. Let us interrogate her and have her apologize," Ryder replied as he used his Bluffing skill that was given to him by Janus as a reward. He used it to make his words sound more believable.
" You can also be stubborn and stop us, but let me tell you. If I go back empty-handed today, I won't come. What will come is my army to avenge the people that will be killed by your brutal attack on my Demon Realm. I promise you, that won't be a sight you would want to see. I know we'll get some losses as well, but you attacked us first. We'll just be protecting our dignity,"
" Think carefully. Is not letting her apologize to us more important to you than the entire Death Domain?" he continued.

Prince Asmadeus looked at Ryde for a brief moment, trying to read his face. After a few seconds, he looked towards the Death Envoys, who all nodded their heads.
"Fine. I'll let you and the Vampire King talk to her to get your answers. As for the apology, I don't think I can convince her to do that. As for letting you take her, that's impossible. Also, you won't be allowed to get within fifty meters of her range. Getting an apology depends on your luck."
"You can't do anything even if she doesn't do it, because I believe she will die before apologizing. I'd do the same if I were in her situation, after all. So here's the full deal. You can interrogate her, and then you must leave. Our scores will be equal," Prince Asmadeus told Ryder as he agreed to Ryder's conditions.
' Well, that worked,' Ryder thought as a subtle smile appeared on his face.
He started following after Asmadeus, who escorted them inside the Place.
The Death Envoys kept an eye on High Duke Oris and the Vampire King throughout the way.
They escorted them to a big hall where seatings were arranged. It seemed like this was the place for a meeting between the Various Death Domain officials as there were over fifty seats already arranged on both sides of the room.
Prince Asmadeus sat on the central throne. Three Death Envoys sat around him while the fourth one left to bring Elisia here.
Ryder also selected a seat and sat down comfortably. High Duke Oris sat on his left. Rale sat on High Duke Oris' left. High Duke Oris made it so that he was in the middle so that if anything went wrong, he could hold Ryder and Rale and simply teleport away from here.
As Ryder was free for now and waiting for Elisia to be brought here, he decided to see the things he was most excited about. He was really eager to see what his skill actually was.
He opened the details of his and tapped on the active skill
[Effect 1: Once cast, this skill will bring rain in a ten-meter radius of the user. Those who are touched by the blessed water of the rain will have their speed halved. The user will have his speed increased by half.]
[Effect 2: The Blessing of Water gives the user an ability to form any weapon of his choice from any water source]
[Current limit: The rain can only last for 11 minutes
(Note: Every ten levels of increase adds one more minute in the Current Limit)]
'Ah, so that's what it is. The first effect of this skill is pretty useful yet very boring. It can decrease their speed by hand and increase mine by half. So if we both had equal speed, my speed would become the Times of the enemy while the rain lasts. The only downside is the high requirement and low limit of it. I'm a level 110, so I can only use it for 11 minutes. That can't be much if I'm facing multiple enemies. Still, it can be very useful to me. The second effect sounds much more fun, though. Being able to form any weapon from water.' Ryder thought as he stared at the semi-transparent screen before him that was still showing the description of the skill for him.
'Hah, I can be like Poseidon, coming out of the sea with a Trident made entirely of water. That would look pretty cool indeed. I wonder if I can form guns or only old forms of weapons. It did say I can form any weapons, though. If it includes modern weapons too, I can only imagine how powerful it would become. I'll be able to make a water bazooka with a water missile,' Ryder could feel his thoughts roaming wild at the prospects of using this skill. It was as if he was just a kid that had received a new toy.

A Nation of Distances (possibly a dystopian love story)
Michael lives in a toxic macho world with extreme male hierarchy. When he gets a weird rating that makes his place even more problematic he's forced to choose a fiancée at a Wife School, and he slowly discovers more about the other side of the great divide between the sexes in The Nation. If only the world would stop being so complicated... On the other side there's Megan, who's more interested in books than in marriage, and the unpredictable Eliza who seems to have a connection with Micheal already. Will they be able to cross the distance and become friends against all the rules of their own world, or will they just be crushed? Are positive relationships between men and women even possible? And is there a way to change the world or is that just a naive thought of a silly wimp? 'A Nation of Distances' is a slightly dystopian dialogue-heavy drama set in a low sci-fi future setting about the war between the sexes, disconnect and friendship. The genre will fluctuate in between more slice-of-life parts and soft sci-fi drama with possible romantic elements, with alternating lead and switching perspectives once more of the main characters are established. Content Warning: Certain concepts and scenes might be disturbing and/or triggering to some, even though the story itself won't be extremely heavy most of the time. Sexism as a double-edged sword destructive to both sexes is an important part of the story, but so is friendship.Note that all descriptions of persons and places are purely fictional and made up by the writer, and any resemblance with anything in the real world is a coincidence, since the real world is not supposed to be dystopian anyway!
