Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 599

Ryder moved over to the other room, which the woman claimed to have switched with Alice.
As he stopped in front of the door, he knocked.
The door was soon opened to reveal Alice standing in front of him.
"You finally got time to come back?" Alice lazily says as she rolled her eyes while walking back.
Ryder didn't receive the warm welcome he had expected, but he didn't mind. He believed he deserved the cold reception for leaving Alice alone for so long.
"I'm sorry. Just that important work came up. I couldn't do anything but leave. Can you forgive me?" Ryder asked, apologizing.
"Are we going back?" Alice asked, staring at Ryder as she sat on the bed.
"That's right. But not before enjoying one day here. We can't just go back like this," Ryder said, trying to make up for his mistake by pleasing Alice.
"Really?" Alice asked, stunned.
"That's right. Get ready fast. We'll leave soon. Also, I have booked tomorrow's flight. So we have all day today," Ryder let out, sitting on the bed.
Alice was still angry, but she was secretly pleased as well. This did make her happy. She stood up and went to get properly dressed. In the last few days, she hadn't left the hotel at all as she was told by Ryder to stay in the hotel for safety. Finally, she could see the city.
After half an hour, Alice was standing before Ryder, properly dressed. He was also adequately dressed by now.
He and Alice left the hotel.
They spent the rest of the day together. They went to the anime cafes that they had heard a lot about. They also went to the malls, shopping for traditional Japanese clothes, which Alice appreciated a lot.
They even shopped for souvenirs in the small shops outside.
They soon entered an old looking shop.
"Isn't this place amazing?" Alice asked Ryder as she observed the antiques inside an old shop.
"Don't know. Some of these items do look cursed," Ryder said, smiling wryly.
He moved from place to place, noticing all the weird items that this shop had.
He found a few strange masks, some antique lamps, some bottles of pills, and more strange items that he didn't even know a place could have. Everything here was cheap as well, but he didn't feel like he was going to buy anything here.

Even after searching half the shop, he didn't find anything worth interest.
"Come on, Alice! Let's leave! There isn't anything good!" Ryder yelled in English, hoping that the shop owner wouldn't understand his words. But as he saw the shop owner glaring at him, a wry smile formed on his lips. It seemed like this guy understood him.
"Look at this! This is so beautiful!" Alice's voice came from a distance.
Ryder found his way to Alice inside the shop that seemed no less than a maze. As he reached Alice, he was able to see her holding an old pot that seemed to be slightly crackle.
"This ugly thing?" Ryder asked, smiling wryly.
"Can't you see the jade in it? Then though it should be fake, it looks so realistic. It suits this a lot. Let's buy it. It'll be good for the interior," Alice told Ryder. "It's only five thousand dollars."
"Only?" Ryder asked, smiling wryly. "Let me see that jade."
Alice turned the pot's other side towards Ryder to make him see the jade that was attached to the pot.
"This... Isn't this...." Ryder stuttered as he saw the jade. At the same time, a notification echoed in his head.
[ A new Bracelet of Immortality fragment has been discovered]
Excited, Ryder closed in on the pond and touched the gem, making it disappear.
As soon as the gem disappeared, another character out of the strange twenty-six characters started shining in his bracelet.
[Fragment of Space has been equipped]
[Skill: Ruler of Space has been received]
[ Space and Time Fragments had formed a pair.]
[Skill: Ruler of Origin has been unlocked]
[Ruler of Origin has leveled up under the effect of Space and Time fragments]
'What the heck? Space Stone? That sounds overpowered. But what's the Ruler of Origin? It sounds like a skill I received after getting fragments. Could it be that I have received another skill because Space and Time form a pair? Strange,' he thought.
He was just about to open his Status Screen to know more about the skill when he came out of his daze at Alice's call.
"Where did the gem go? Gosh, the shop owner will kill us. He'll think we are thieves! How did it disappear?" Alice asked Ryder, noticing that the gem wasn't there anymore.

"Don't worry about it. Wasn't this just a copy? It's not like it was a real gem. Still, we'll buy this pot. We won't be scolded," Ryder answered as he patted Alice, who nodded.
He took the pot from Alice and walked back to the shop owner.
"We want to buy it," he told the old man while placing cash before him.
The old man noticed the missing gem, but he didn't care. He had already had that gem checked. It was said that the gem was fake and wasn't even worth a thousand dollars.
He thought that these people mistook that for a real gem.
He kept the cash and nodded. "This is yours now."
"Here," Ryder gave the pot to Alice as he left the shop.
They continued their shipping, ending in a restaurant where they had dinner.
After finishing dinner, they went back to the hotel.
It was already twelve in the night as Alice fell asleep.
Ryder, on the other hand, was sitting outside on the sofa. Finally, he could see what skills he had received.
[Name: Ryder]
[Species: Divine God (Partially Awakened)]
[Level: Fifty Thousand]
[Strength: Too High to measure]
[Defence: Too High]
[Speed: Too High]
[ Dexterity: Too High]
[ Intelligence: 120( Asleep}
Too High (Awakened)]
[Tap to See Skills]
He opened the Stats Screen, which showed his real-world level as Fifty Thousand, which he already knew about, but it still surprised him.
If he went inside the world of Divinity with his real body, he could smack everyone to the ground as no one was this strong in Divinity.
But what surprised him more were the other things.
What did they mean his species was a Divine God? And asleep?
"Could it be because I have absorbed their strength that it thinks that I'm one of them? Possibly. But it's surprising. It can't measure my strength and other stats. It just shows too High. All it can measure is my intelligence?"
"But why does it say asleep? It says I'm too smart when I'm awake? Am I really that intelligent when I'm not sleeping? That's surprising. I always thought I had average intelligence. But I only have that when I'm sleeping. I'm a genius when I'm awake," he muttered, feeling pleased.
He really misunderstood the meaning of sleeping and awake as their literal meaning when it was talking about Chaos. When he was awake, the intelligence was too High. It gave two different criteria on intelligence for both of them.
He quickly brought himself out of the self praise and tapped on the Skills to see his new skills.
Amongst his new skills, he found two additions—the Ruler of Space and the Ruler of Origin.
He tapped on Ruler of Space first, as this was what he was most excited about.
[Skill: Ruler of Space]
[Description: The power to control space and bend it to one's convenience]
[Skill 1: Infinite Teleportation (Max Level)]
Description: The user can teleport to any world he wants to]
Uses: Infinite Uses
Cooldown: One hour between each use
Note: User can only go to the worlds he has seen before]
[Skill 2: Space Control (Max Level)
Description: The user can control space to the various degrees possible
Limitation: The Universal Laws of World can't be broken]
[ Skill 3: Space Immunity ( Max Level)
Description: Makes the user Immune to any Space Related attack]
As Ryder finished reading about the skill, he was stunned. It was the first time he saw a Ruler Skill where the third skill was unlocked. Most of the time, the third skill said that level wasn't high enough to unlock.
"Could it be that the other skill also unlocked level three? Is my level high enough now?" He thought, surprised.
He hastily went back to other skills to check if he was right.
As he opened the old skills, he grew surprised. He was right! The third skill of Each Ruler skill was unlocked. He finally had an idea what it was. The third level of all skills was similar.
The third level of the Ruler of Water gave him Infinite Water Immunity. Ruler of Wind gave him wind immunity, and it was similar to the other skills.
"Why did water give me Water Immunity? What does it even mean? I always had something similar that I couldn't drown in water. So what is it? Wait! Could it be something that makes me immune to the attacks of gods of those themes?" He suddenly exclaimed.
