Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 548
Advertisement
The four kings were already killed by Ryder with various schemes, most of which belonged to getting close to them.
With the count of the King he had killed in the FBI headquarters, there were a total of Five Kings who were out of the equation, leaving only the seven of them alive.
Ryder again sent Gander to bring the next King to what was going to be his graveyard. Now that the process was in full swing, things progressed smoothly. And with an insider helping him in this job, things were even faster.
Gander kept bringing Kings to Ryder, who kept killing them one after another. At one point, he even felt like things were too easy.
The Kings were very arrogant and confident of their strength. They didn't feel like they had any risk. There was only one person who had managed to harm even one of them in their eyes, and that person was on a vacation, so their defenses were even more non-existent.
The slightest bit of schemes was working on them, bringing them to the depths of hell. By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late since they found them dead.
And just like that, the day had passed. Ten Kings were killed in a single day, leaving only two Kings back at the Mansion with Aluren.
The only two kings who were still alive were the first King and the Second King.
Since it was night, the First King and Aluren went to sleep while the second King kept guard.
Even Aluren didn't get suspicious about the missing Kings since he had given them the permission to go out and enjoy. In his mind, the suspicion about their absence hadn't taken shape.
...
"Gander.-"
Ryder and Gander were still in the office. Ryder was trying to say something, but Gander cut him off.
"Don't even try! It's night. I've already run out of excuses to lure them out. And at night, it's especially impossible. If I even tried, it would be like bringing suspicions to myself, and the whole plan would be spoiled. Wait for tomorrow. We can plan something in the day," Gander told Ryder.
"Don't worry; I wasn't going to send you there either. But you didn't let me finish. I was going to tell you to go and sleep since you worked really hard. We have more work to do tomorrow, so go and have rest," Ryder told Gander before he left the office.

"I'm going to have a rest as well. I will contact you tomorrow," he added before he departed.
Entering his car, Ryder drove to the hotel which he had booked and went to his room.
He laid on the bed and closed his eyes before he softly said, "Stanner, keep an eye on the entrance of this room. Wake me up if anyone suspicious approaches."
He soon fell asleep after making sure that his security was decent and there was no risk.
....
Back at her friend's house, Alice was still waiting on the bed, wondering if Ryder was fine. She wanted to pick up her phone, turn it on and call him, but she couldn't as Ryder had told him to keep the phone off.
She was having a hard time sleeping, worrying about Ryder.
"God, please keep him safe from all problems," she prayed to the gods as he closed her eyes.
While Alice prayed for the gods, she didn't realize that the one she was praying for was a God himself. Moreover, Ryder was not alone. Instead, he was being helped by Janus, who was another god.
...
While the scheme of Janus to get Ryder the needed strength was in full motion, Janus was still sitting near the pond.
He wanted to get down to Ryder, but he couldn't as he didn't want to attract the attention of other gods to Earth.
The Trial of god-sons was taking place on Earth, and the Gods weren't allowed to enter the earth. If Janus entered, it was going to raise some eyebrows and bring the attention of other gods to Ryder, and it was too soon for that.
Janus gazed at the two fishes which were swimming in the small pond as he muttered softly, "Soon, Aluren should be dead."
"After that, I need to make Ryder kill the other god-sons fast. Because the gods would soon realize that their kids are dead and appear."
"This time, I won't sit behind and stand with them. I'll go down and help him. To hell with everything. It won't be my brother against the world."
"Also, we have the trick as well. As soon as he awakens his Divinity and I help him by opening the Portal of Darkness, he can use it. He is already free of his Heavenly Oaths because of this reincarnation. He is not restricted anymore. All he needs is to get back his Divinity before it's too late."

Even though Janus seemed like he was talking to himself, in truth, he was talking to the fishes.
"Aren't I right, father, mother?" He asked the fishes as he smiled.
...
As it was night in America, it was day in China where one of the seven god-sons, Draco Liang, was sitting in an empty room, talking to his father, the God of War.
Even though it was prohibited for the Gods to contact their sons or give them things that could be used to contact them, the God of War still sneakily gave one to his son, similar to how Aluren's mother had given to Aluren.
The only difference was that Aluren was caught. As for Draco, he was still not caught since he had been more clever.
"So, how's your Trial going?" The God of War asked his son.
"It's going pretty good, but it's taking a bit of time."
"Any major problems?"
"No father."
"That's better. Keep doing it the way you are, and make your father proud of your success. You need to be the fastest to complete the trial!"
"I will, father."
"Oh right, I also heard the news. I think you would find it interesting too," The God of War told his son.
"What news?"
"It's about the God of Space. We all thought that he also went into seclusion in a separate space with the Lord of Time. Apparently, he is out and roaming on earth."
"What? Lord of Space is on Earth?!" Draco exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right. I only found out about it now. This news is only spreading in the God Realm now. I happened to be the one who got it first, but soon, everyone will know," the God of War said.
"Why is he on Earth? Isn't it not allowed for the Gods to enter Earth as long as the Trial is going on? How can he enter earth?" Draco asked.
"Hah, he can go anywhere he wants since he is out of our control. And we don't want to fight him either. We know his personality after that incident has been pretty bad. So stopping him would now be akin to a war. The only one he still treats as his friend is the Lord of Time," the God of War replied.
"Don't worry though. He won't interfere in matters at earth. At best, he will just travel there, see sights, get bored and leave. In any case, he won't interfere with the trials of you all. So don't worry."
"I only told this to you so you can stay alert. We don't know where he is on Earth since the space is his shroud that keeps him hidden from us."
"So just keep an eye out and don't do anything stupid to annoy him if you are him. You understand?" The God of War asked.
"I would have to be crazy to annoy him. Don't worry, father, I will stay alert," Draco answered.
...
Just as the God of War had said, this news was spreading like fire in the God Realm.
Even the Goddess of Life and Death heard this news.
'The Lord of Space is on Earth? The Earth where Chaos is living his life without any memories? What if the two come face to face?' she thought, frowning as she stood up.
She Teleported straight to Janus.
"Did you hear?" She asked Janus, whose back was facing her.
"Hear what?" Janus asked, curious. "Why are you so worried?"
"The Lord of Space! He is not in seclusion! He is roaming on Earth! We just got this information now. Because he is so good with his shroud, it's almost impossible to know about him, but this time we have conclusive proof that he's on Earth! And you know who else is on Earth! What are you going to do about it?" She asked, worried about the safety of Ryder.
"Lord of Space is on Earth? What? How come I had no clue about it?" Janus asked as he stood up, surprised. "Where did you get this information from?"

In Pursuit of Glory
I felt a huge physical force slam into my back. I didn't have any time to think as I rocketed into the wall and felt the drywall dent beneath my body. Eyes wide, I groaned and began to push off the wall when, unceasingly relentless, my assailant backstabbed me with a knife to my gut. I gasped; being stabbed there is no laughing matter. Even today, with all the advances of science, a wound like that can easily be mortal. Most likely would be. I gasped for air with a snarl, funneling the wind into my lungs to help them expand after being pancaked into the wall. Nobody f***ing backstabs me and gets away with it. If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love being alive. I love it more than anything else. It’s something only a dead person can understand, and I feel myself forgetting all the time. But there’s a secret to death, and I keep it with me. Always. It’s never permanent, it’s never peaceful, and it’s always filled with regrets. But death, despite all of its shortfalls, can give a short respite from life, like a comfy afternoon nap. Death is Respite. It’s a rest for the weary. And to all those people who wander in death lonesome and regretting their broken lives - always, without fail, cut too short - I beg them to take advantage of it. I tell everyone to take advantage of death, even when I can’t bring myself to do so. --- Ciaran travels the world in pursuit of Glories, unfathomable, power-bestowing balls of golden light sequestered in difficult-to-reach places. A fun fantasy romp with a character with an unorthodox narrative voice trying to find his purpose in the world.

Embers in the Ash
Four ordinary young people from four corners of the Earth wake up on a hill in another world. Here, their very presence is a crime against the Gods. On the fringes of civilization, life is often brief and always violent, but in the Empire's Heartland, implacable hunters seek to rectify their blasphemous existence with Blade and Fire. To return home, they will need to adapt to a place where their life will be earned in steel. But what will they be ready to sacrifice for their goal? Will their flame flicker out like so many others before them? Or will they thrive as Embers in the Ash? Hello, and welcome to my first fiction on this site! Embers in the Ash is an epic fantasy adventure story that aims to span quite a few chapters (I hope!). To set expectations, this isn't going to be a LitRPG or power fantasy-style story. I'm aiming for a fairly grounded story set in a fairly high-fantasy world. I hope you enjoy it! For this first month of publication, my aim is to give you, the reader, something to really bite into. I will be releasing a chapter every day at 9:15 AM EST (13:15 GMT), as well as the occasional double chapter (which will always be announced by a post-chapter author blurb). Check in fifteen minutes after the first chapter's release! After this first month of publication, the aim is to go for either a weekly or bi-weekly release schedule, depending on the sort of time I can reliably dedicate to writing. Either way, settle in for the long haul, and welcome to the story!
