Divinity: Against the Godly System

"Tell me. What did you want to say?" The Lord of Space asked, glancing back at Janus.

"I wanted to tell you that you're wrong. The Aura you felt wasn't his aura," Janus answered.

"Oh? Then whose Aura was it?" The Lord of Space inquired, amused.

"It was the aura of someone else. I've also been investigating the same thing. I think someone is using my brother's aura to keep themselves safe while killing other gods," Janus replied.

"Even if I believe that for a moment, what then? Do you really have some proof that it actually wasn't Chaos? You can make mistakes, but I can't. There's no way to fake that aura," the Lord of Space answered.

"No, I'm not kidding. It's not his aura. It's someone else," Janus insisted. " A big scheme is being hatched by whoever that person is."

As Janus spoke to the Lord of Space to keep him delayed, the sticker he had placed on the forehead of Ryder started disintegrating slowly.

At the same time, Ryder's body started floating in the air.

"Then tell me whose Aura it is? Because whoever that person is, they're in this place. And you're trying to delay me. Let's hear your answer," the Lord of Space said, amused.

But he didn't wait as he continued, "I mean Janus, did you really think I was stupid enough for that? I wouldn't know such basic things? You're still a kid."

"You're wrong," Janus retorted.

"Let's go check personally. Let me see if there's a chance for it to be the truth," the Lord of Space said as he started walking towards the Maxwell Estate.

This time, however, Janus didn't stop him. Instead, he walked behind the Lord of Space. In any case, he had done what he wanted to.

"If you don't trust me, then fine. Go and check for yourself. I mean, do you really think he can actually come back? It's a bit funny honestly,' Janus commented from behind.

"We'll see what's funny and what's not," the Lord of Space said.

The two reached near the entrance of the Maxwell Estate and teleported inside together.

They entered the mansion without being seen by anyone.

Tracing the aura, the Lord of Space climbed the stairs and reached Ryder's room.

"So, behind this door is that person. After so many centuries have passed, I'll get to see him again, huh. But I'll also have to kill him. This is the destiny unfortunately," the Lord of Space said as he took a deep breath.

He pushed the door open and stepped inside.

As the Lord of Space entered the room, Janus also entered behind.

Standing inside the room, the Lord of Space was stunned at what he saw.

A young dark-haired man was lying on the bed, sleeping. It was his aura.

"He looks similar to Chaos... Is it the Forbidden Reincarnation? What did you do, Janus?" He asked Janus as his lips opened slightly.

"Is that why he's so weak?" he inquired. " But then, how was he able to kill the Lord of Time?"

"Old friend, you really came all the way to get answers?" A heavy voice filled the room that seemed to be coming from all directions.

At the same time, a powerful aura enveloped the room, seemingly coming like a tsunami.

The young man who was sleeping on the bed opened his eyes slowly to reveal blood-red eyes.

"Chaos," the Lord of Space muttered, frowning. He understood what was happening. It was really Chaos.

"So it was a trick. You're completely fine. Your Aura is almost as strong as before too. You were just hiding for aura. You're getting good," the Lord of Space said softly as he looked at Ryder, who sat up.

Ryder got off the bed.

He casually waved his hand. His old clothes disappeared, changing with new clothes. It seemed like he was really a god as he wore the beautiful yet mystical looking clothes that had many jades embedded in them.

On top, he had a beautiful black robe that was so black that it seemed like a pitch black shadow robe instead.

Ryder's hairs also grew longer. His skin became smoother, unlike the skin of an ordinary human. He really seemed like someone who could make any woman fall for him in a single glance.

"You should've come," Chaos said grimly. "I didn't want to have to kill you too."

"Am I supposed to trust your words after you killed Time?" The Lord of Space asked.

"He came after me as well. Just like you did," Chaos answered.

"I'll give you the same choice I gave him. Let me seal you for a short time. And you can live," he told the Lord of Space.

"And what will you do after that? Destroy the heaven?" The Lord of Space asked.

Ryder didn't answer this time. He just kept looking at the Lord of Space.

Ryder looked up at the roof of the Maxwell Estate.

" This isn't the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else," he ultimately said as he raised his hand towards the window. The window opened on its own, giving an exit.

Ryder flew outside. The Lord of Space followed after Chaos.

He even stopped the Space sealing as he left with Ryder.

Janus didn't stay behind either as he also followed after the two of them.

...

The gods had decided to send an Envoy on earth to check up on their sons once. As for the Envoy, it was selected right away. It was going to be the most trusted subordinate of a Neutral God.

After the envoy was selected, he was given the permission to go down to earth.

The Envoy left without much delay and appeared on Earth.

He was given items that could be used to trace the aura of the god-sons to find them if they weren't in the designated places.

As he landed on earth, the first country he went to was Germany. He used the device, but he wasn't able to find an aura of Julien. Frowning, he went to check on the place that he was told was Julien's place of residence, but he couldn't find him there either.

"He isn't in his designated nation?" The Envoy wondered, confused. "Where might he be?"

He decided to check on other god-sons in other countries. He went to China, Britain, and Russia, but he couldn't find a single of them. At this point, even he was starting to feel like something was wrong.

Fortunately, he ultimately did find one of them. As he landed in India, he was able to locate the aura of one of them. He went to meet Aryan.

"Hmm? Are you an Envoy?" Aryan asked as he recognized the aura of the Envoy.

"That's right. I was sent here by your parents. I'm here to check up on you all. Have you contacted the other god-sons?" The Envoy asked.

"Not in a long time. Is something wrong?" Aryan asked.

"I haven't been able to find a lot of them. You have any idea where they might be if not in their domains? And have you seen anything strange or out of ordinary that might explain this?" the Envoy inquired.

"I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary," Aryan answered. "Ah, that's right. There was one thing that seemed odd. I saw Lord Janus here. He said he was sent here by the gods to find something?"

"Lord Janus? That's right. He should be here too. Did you see anything else that was odd?" The Envoy asked.

"I haven't. I'm sorry," Aryan answered. "Anyway, how is my father?"

"He is good. Thank you for answering. I'm going to continue my search," the envoy said as he sighed.

He was now going to America to see if Aluren was there or if he was missing as well.

It was clear that things weren't normal here.

The Envoy appeared in the States and used the item to search the aura of Aluren.

....

Chaos and Lord of Space were standing in the middle of a barren land, facing each other.

No one had moved at all. As for Janus, he was also about to come here, but he couldn't. There was a strange space barrier around Chaos and the Lord of Space which even Janus couldn't pass through.

He had no choice but to wait outside. In any case, he had faith in Chaos and knew that his help wouldn't be needed.

As the Space barrier existed around the Lord of Space and Chaos, it contained their aura.

No one outside was able to sense it. This was also how the Lord of Space had been able to keep his aura hidden. It was why he was so hard to find.

"Before we cross the line, let me ask you one thing," the Lord of Space said with his hands behind his back.

"What thing?" Chaos asked.

"What do you want? What is your plan? What do you want to achieve with this? Why did you have to kill the Lord of Time?" The Lord of Space asked.
