Divinity: Against the Godly System

"Come on!" Ryder cursed out loud in frustration, but that's when he heard laughter.

The Thirteenth King was laughing. He was within the Ten kilometers range of Ryder.

"Ten minutes are over," the Thirteenth King muttered as he chuckled.

Ryder raised his gaze and looked at the Thirteenth King when he suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood.

He blankly looked at the Thirteenth King as blood spilled out of his lips.

He lowered his gaze and looked down at his chest.

There was a big gaping hole where his heart was supposed to be. It was easy to look through his body through that hole.

The Camera of the News Crew caught sight of it and telecasted it live as well.

Esmi, Bastion, Shu, and Alice all of them stood up with pale faces as they saw Ryder's chest being penetrated.

Shu had already called for help to get to Ryder. He had also sent his own mansion guards in another Helicopter with heavy weapons to help Ryder. The help was on the way, but Ryder was already like this. Shu felt like it was all over. There was no way to save Ryder.

Back in the plane, Ray also stood up, shocked as he glared at the screen, but he soon realized that Ryder was undying, so he didn't need to worry.

There was another person that seemed to stand up from their seat, and that person happened to be the strongest person in the country.

The President of the States was standing up. She glanced back at the Secretary of State, who was looking at Ryder.

He didn't know why, but he was shocked to see the President standing up. 

"It is indeed shocking. These people are fighting and killing," He said as he smiled wryly.

The lady in a black suit looked at the Secretary of State and nodded her head before sitting down.

****

Ryder started falling down as his body lost all its strength.

He could only see the ground coming closer and closer to his face as he fell down.

His vision was turning darker, but his wounds had slowly started to heal.

'Second Death in 24 hours and that too from getting flat on the ground. I should look for some variety if I'm going to do this ever again.'

This was the last thought in Ryder's head as his head smashed on the ground.

****

Ryder slowly opened his eyes and found himself in his bedroom. 

He picked up his phone and looked at the clock and time on it.

"It's Five in the morning. Sigh, my second try. The last try, I can attempt to save people. After this, I'll be on the radar of the Lord of Time. I must succeed," he muttered as he got off the bed. He walked into the washroom and cleaned his face before he came out.

He walked out of the bathroom and got dressed before he left the room.

He went downstairs and found the server.

He had five hours before it was time to leave for the Birthday Celebration in Lavender Town. 

He wanted to use these 5 hours carefully and, if possible, solve the problems right now.

He found the butler of the Mansion and asked him for the key to Ferrari.

Shu was still sleeping, and the butler didn't bother to ask him either. He knew how Shu treated Ryder. There was no way he would say no to sharing the car, so the butler gave the keys himself.

Ryder took the keys and left the mansion.

He stepped inside the Ferrari and turned the engine in as he took the car in reverse and got it out of the Estate.

He left the Mansion and went towards the South of the city.

Ray's sister was up early and keeping an eye on the mansion.

She saw the Ferrari coming out of the mansion and Ryder sitting inside it.

" He's leaving so early? This is suspicious," She muttered as she hurriedly jumped down from the balcony and landed on the ground.

She entered her car and started the engine. She started following after Ryder.

"This idiot! Does she never stop chasing?!" Ryder let out in frustration as he noticed the girl following him.

He turned the car and blocked the road in front of her car. The woman also applied a break as she stopped.

She was frowning as she wondered if Ryder had realized that she was trailing him.

"This can't be! He must be suspicious at best!" she muttered as she opened the door of the car and stepped out.

"Are you crazy! Why are you blocking the road! I have somewhere to be, you idiot!" The woman said to get any speck of suspicion that Ryder might have on her without even giving him a chance to speak.

Ryder didn't reply as he walked closer to her.

The woman was standing in front of her car, but she took a step back as she saw Ryder not stopping.

"What are you doing?! Move your car aside and let me pass!" She said as she kept stepping back, but Ryder didn't stop.

Soon, her butt was hitting the Bonnet of her car. There was no way to move back. Ryder stood just half a meter away from her as he gazed into her eyes.

He reached out his hand, scaring the girl. He placed his hands on the bonnet of the car on both sides of her. His chest was just a few inches away from her.

He brought his lips close to her ears.

"Little lady, didn't someone tell you that it's not good manners to follow someone?" He said in a soft tone.

"I'm not following you! You were driving ahead of me! I was on my way to meet my friends!" the woman said to Ryder without budging.

"Little lady, the school that taught you how to be a spy was established by me. Tell Ray to stop keeping an eye on me. I'm not someone you people can use for your benefits," Ryder said in her ears softly.

The woman's face turned pale as she heard Ryder's words. It was clear that he knew everything. The only question was how.

Before she could ask anything, Ryder started talking.

"Don't think how or what. Just remember one thing. If you don't stop this childish play, I won't be this civil next time," Ryder muttered as he softly kissed her cheeks before he turned back and started walking towards her car.

"Remember my warning. I don't like to repeat things," Ryder said as he waved his hand without looking back.
