The flight landed in the New Capital of the States. Ryder and Alice stepped out of the flight and went straight to a hotel.

As for Ryder, he once again left Alice back in the hotel as he left with the excuse to attend a meeting. Since he was here, he wanted to deal with everything at once before leaving with Alice for home. He didn't intend to waste any time.

Alice was once again frustrated as Ryder left, but this time he had promised that he was only going to be gone for a short time and not for days like before. Alice once again believed him as she let him leave.

...

It was only after Ryder left the hotel that he asked, "Janus, where is the last one?"

"The last person is Ion, the owner of Necrosis," Janus explained.

"What the heck? Don't tell me you're serious?" Ryder asked, frowning.

"That guy is one of them as well? So my next two targets are one? I can end it all in one blow?" He asked, laughing.

"They're the same," Janus replied in simple terms.

"I couldn't ask for anything better. In one strike, I can end it all," Ryder muttered as he brought his Sports Car out of his inventory.

Sitting inside the car, he straight took it to the headquarters of Necrosis Corporation.

"That direction... It seems like he's coming here, isn't he?" Ion muttered, looking at his screen, which was focused on Ryder.

"After killing all the others, he's after me," He muttered, frowning. "I'm still curious. Why did he let the last one live? Why didn't he attack that guy? Distance of India from China isn't much. Instead, he came back here to kill me after killing all the rest?"

" It doesn't seem like he has any intention of killing Aryan. Why is that? Is he related to that guy somehow? It's clear that he isn't a human, at least. He should be one of us, or even stronger."

"I thought I could let him kill all the god-sons to remove the competition before informing the gods, but oh well, we can't have the best in all wars," he thought as he smirked.

He brought out a red crystal which was kept in a drawer.

It was a Communication Crystal. No participant in this trial was allowed to bring this crystal as it was not allowed to contact the gods since there were concerns of cheating. But that didn't stop some of them from still bringing it.

One such crystal was with Aluren, which he had used to inform the gods about Adrian infiltrating his realm. When the gods knew it, they did send an envoy to take that crystal back.

Another such crystal was with Draco— the Son of God of War. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to use it on time when he was attacked.

Ion clenched the crystal in his fist as he closed his eyes.

"What the heck? It's a fake?!" His face turned weird as he realized that it was a useless crystal.

"How can this happen? I remember bringing the real one! This can't be happening at a time like this! Arghhh!"

Ion was filled with frustration as he found out that the crystal was fake. He was also filled with many questions. He remembered that he brought the real one. How did that turn fake?

" Could it be that someone switched it? Who could have done that?"

As he thought more about it, his eyes opened wide in shock. He realized what had happened.

"That bastard father of mine! He never forgets to screw my life!" Ion yelled like crazy.

...

In the city of Washington, the Lord of Space was walking randomly, still in search of something. He seemed to be playing with a red crystal, tossing it up in the air again and again like it was a toy.

"Sorry, kiddo, but I couldn't let you be disqualified. From how you acted, it seemed like you really wanted to succeed in the trial. But you don't know; you'll not only be disqualified but punished as well if they knew you had it. I hope you won't be too upset when you find out that I took it. It was for your own good," the Lord of Space muttered, unaware of how badly he had screwed his son.

...

"Fine, if I can't call for help, I'll do it myself. I'll take care of him myself. Unlike the others, I'm not unaware of his goals and his schemes. He wants to kill us all, but if he thinks it's going to be that easy, he can give it a try," Ion said, sitting in his room.

The cab stopped in front of the Necrosis Corporation. Ryder openly stepped inside the Necrosis and walked to the receptionist.

"Is Ion in his office?" He asked the receptionist.

"Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked. "May I know your name?"

"I don't have an appointment, but I was really hoping to meet him. Tell him Ryder Flynn is here. I think he should remember me," Ryder told the receptionist.

"Let me check," The receptionist said, picking up the phone.

She informed Ion about the arrival of Ryder Flynn and his desire to meet him.

"Yes, Sir," she ultimately nodded as she kept the phone down.

"You can go upstairs. He's willing to meet you," she told Ryder. She also called a man to escort him.

Ryder was taken upstairs to the top floor where Ion's office was.

"You can go in. This is the office," the man told Ryder.

He hadn't noticed that Ryder's hand was resting on the wall at the moment. When he removed his hand, a white sticker was left on the wall. At the same time, all the cameras in the building were turned off.

"Thank you," Ryder thanked the man who had escorted him here. The man didn't stop here as he turned back and left.

Ryder pushed the door open, expecting an unaware Ion to greet him but what he saw was completely different.

He could see tens of Spatial Blades coming towards him, intending to slice him into small parts.

Before Ryder could even react, the blades passed through him. His clothes were cut in places, but his skin wasn't harmed in the least.

'Space Skills? Hah, this is the worst match for this guy. I'm already immune to space-related damage,' Ryder thought as he grinned while looking at Ion.

He was also slightly surprised to see Ion attack him directly. Did he know why Ryder was here? Or was it that he was just upset that Ryder messed up his plans last time?

It didn't matter what the reason was. Ryder closed the door behind him while also placing a different sticker in the wall.

Next, he gently waved his hand, making the water appear out of thin air. The water filled the entire room within seconds. All the files were ruined. The computers were damaged.

Ion couldn't breathe in the water, so he tried to teleport outside the room to gather his thoughts. He still didn't know why his blades didn't hurt Ryder.

He wanted time to understand what had gone wrong, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't teleport outside. It was as if the space was sealed.

Let alone him; even Ryder couldn't teleport outside.

It was a skill that he had received from the Moon Scythe called Self Sacrifice. It allowed him to temporarily sacrifice one of his elements to seal another element of the enemy.

The god-sons couldn't use it since they had only one element themselves. They did it; even though they could seal another person's element temporarily, they'll both be like ordinary men. But for Ryder, temporarily sealing his space control wasn't a problem since he had many other elements.

Basically, with this single skill, he had made Ion useless. Ion couldn't control the space in his surroundings, while Ryder could still use many of his powers.

Without being able to teleport, Ion seemed to be stuck in the water, unable to breathe.

Ryder came closer to Ion, looking at him, struggling to breathe.

'You know, I really wanted to know what this scheme was. Why you wanted to use the world of Divinity. And what was your end goal? If only you hadn't attacked me so soon. But with your death, it won't matter anyway,' he thought as he observed Ion.

Ion tried to swim towards the gate to open it and leave, but he couldn't even do that. It seemed as if the water was holding him in place, preventing him from moving. This was his domain, after all.

Ion's eyes were turned red as he struggled to free himself from the grasp of water, but even that didn't seem to work.

'They won't work. This isn't ordinary water either. Moreover, unlike me, you don't have water immunity.' Ryder thought, but at the same time, he also brought out the Moon Scythe.
