Divinity: Against the Godly System

As Ryder finished his last enemy here, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He kept the body of Draco in his inventory before he left. It was finally the time to go back. 

According to Janus, the last enemy was in America. He could go back while taking Alice with him.

He searched inside the mansion to find anyone who could still be alive since he still had one more thing to do. He needed to delete all the security footage. 

Even though the footage didn't contain his face, it was still good to remove all evidence. It didn't take him long to find a person either. It was the same person who had peed himself. 

When Draco had arrived, Ryder entirely forgot about him. He had run upstairs to escape since Ryder was standing at the entrance. He hadn't expected that his luck would be so bad that he was going to be found out so soon by Ryder again. 

Moreover, seeing Ryder before him also confirmed one more thing. It was that Draco was dead. Only then could Ryder be walking so freely. 

Ryder didn't even feel the need to hypnotize the man as he was already scared to his core. He had seen what Ryder was capable of. 

"Take me to the place where all the security footage is recorded," he told the man, who nodded as he escorted Ryder. He also kept praying in his head for Ryder to let him go if he did as he was told. 

Unfortunately, he knew that the chances of this happening were too low, but he still took the risk in hopes of surviving. 

Ryder was brought to the place where all the footage was recorded. All he simply had to do was delete everything that was recorded, but he didn't leave it at that. He also destroyed the entire system before feeling satisfied.

After being done, he glanced back at the man that had escorted him here.

The man's heartbeat stopped for a moment as he saw Ryder staring at him.

"You'll forget that you ever met me, and you'll also forget everything that happened today. All you'll remember is that someone inside the clan betrayed you and tried to take over, causing all the losses," Ryder told the man, hypnotizing him. 

"Oh, one more thing. Change those pants," he further added before he left. The man stood in a daze for a few minutes before he came out of it, stunned as to what had happened here. He couldn't remember anything. 

Ryder stepped out of the mansion, leaving a blood-filled place behind that seemed like a slaughter had taken place here. 

Fortunately, he didn't need to clean things up. It was a place where gangsters lived, and he didn't believe anyone was going to investigate much. He had already deleted the footage, which was all that mattered.

He flew outside the zone which belonged to the Liang Clan and landed back at the red mark. He casually glanced back before he brought his sports car out of his inventory. 

Opening the gates, he stepped inside before he followed the same path which the driver took to bring him here. He didn't even feel the need to check GPS as he remembered the way. 

It didn't take him long to reach the hotel. He entered the car inside the underground parking. After parking the car, he stepped out to look around. 

As he made sure that no one was here, he kept the car back in his inventory. He went back to his room. This time, he wasn't going to leave in the middle of the night. He decided to absorb the body and finish his sleep before leaving. 

He entered his room and brought the body out, which was absorbed within seconds this time. 

The process seemed to be the fastest he had ever experienced. 

But the side effects were even worse. As soon as he absorbed the strength of Draco, he started feeling so sleepy. It was so bad that he was having a hard time even keeping his eyes open. 

He struggled as he dragged his sleepy body back to the bed. He dropped on the bed and fell asleep. 

....

Ryder had the same dream as last time again. He could see himself being surrounded by the gods. He found himself in the same situation as the gods killed him in different ways, torturing him. 

He could only suffer in his dreams as he found that he had no control inside his dream. Everything happened the same way as he found himself trapped without any of his abilities. 

Janus had again betrayed him, leaving him alone in the middle of the gods that were coming at him like hungry vultures. 

After what seemed like an eternity, his dream finally broke as he woke up. 

He realized that he was once again covered in sweat. He checked his phone to see the date and time.

" What? I slept for twenty-five hours? The heck?" he exclaimed in surprise. 

"I had booked a late ticket to give me time to sleep and even shop in the city to bring some souvenirs, but I don't think I can even get to the airport at a time like this!"

He immediately got off the bed, forgetting about everything else. He didn't even bother to wash his face or take a shower as he left his room. 

He checked out at the hotel and took a cab. 

Throughout the way, he kept telling the driver to go fast as he was getting late. If he could, he would have preferred going in his sports car but finding an empty place to keep it back was always time consuming, and he didn't have that much time. 

He even offered the driver extra money if he could get him to the airport in time.

The trick seemingly worked as the driver increased the speed even more to what was legally allowed. In the end, Ryder reached the airport in time, making him breathe a sigh of relief.

He paid the driver before running inside the airport. He went through the checking and fortunately managed to enter the flight on time. 

As he sat inside the flight, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he had missed, one of his days would have been wasted. 

The flight was ready to take off, but Ryder's attention was attracted by someone else. The air hostess on this flight was the same woman who had given him her number. 

She seemed to be glaring at him. All he could do was smile wryly in response. Even though she gave him her number, he couldn't call her. He had been too busy. 

The woman rolled her eyes as she stopped looking at him as if she was upset. Throughout the flight, she didn't pay any attention to Ryder at all. 

The flight landed at the national airport of Japan. 

Ryder stood up and left the flight. He wanted to apologize to the air hostess, but she didn't even look at him. He didn't bother much either. 

Stepping out of the airport, Ryder took a cab. He went back to the hotel where Alice was staying. He hadn't even told her that he was coming back to give her a surprise. 

Standing before the room, he knocked on the door. 

He stepped inside the hotel and walked back to his room. He had left the key for Alice, so he didn't have any at the moment. 

There was no response to the knock. 

Frowning, he knocked again. Unfortunately, there was again no response. 

He knocked for the third time. 

"I'm coming! Just chill out, for god's sake!'

Finally, he got a response, but it wasn't what he was looking for. 

It wasn't the voice of Alice from what he could understand. 

It was even more clear as the door was opened. A chubby woman was the one that had opened the door. 

"You're not room service? Who are you? Why are you creating trouble for me? Are you a stalker or something?" the lady asked Ryder. 

"Where is Alice?" Ryder asked, frowning.

"Who is Alice? I'm Maria!" The woman replied. 

"The person who was staying here! What are you doing in her room!" Ryder asked, frowning. 

He didn't have time to waste in conversation, so he directly used his hypnosis. 

He stared deep into the lady's eyes as he asked, "Where is Alice?!"

"Who is Alice? I don't know any Alice," the lady again answered. 

" Alice is the girl who was staying here before you. Where is she?" Ryder asked. 

"That girl? She is in the other room. We switched rooms because this room had my lucky number. I didn't ask her name when we did it," the woman answered blankly. 

Ryder sighed in relief as he heard it. It seemed like he was worried for no reason. 

"You can go back," he told her as he turned around and went to the other room and knocked.
