Divinity: Against the Godly System

Chapter 590: Surrounded by gods

Ryder was sitting on the flight, which was taking him to China.

He kept his eyes closed and gave them rest, but he didn’t sleep as he knew that sleeping would make him more irritated when he wakes up. He wanted to sleep without having to wake up in the middle, so he was going to wait until he got to the hotel.

’I took so many flights in such a short time. It feels less like going to murder people and more like taking a world tour,’ Ryder thought, trying to keep his mind busy.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried to keep him up, he fell asleep within the first ten minutes of the flight.

As Ryder fell asleep, he didn’t wake up. The flight landed in China, but Ryder was still sleeping. Unlike before, no passenger woke him up. It was instead an air hostess who tried waking him up. Unfortunately, he was in a deep sleep and refused to wake up.

"We’re going out. Come out after waking him up," the other air hostess told the one who was trying to wake Ryder before she left.

The pilot also left, leaving the whole plane empty. There was not a single person here except the lady and Ryder.

"Come on, Sir! Wake up. We’re already there," she said as she moved Ryder’s shoulder, but he still didn’t wake up.

"Come on. How deep is he asleep!" The air hostess said, sighing.

She brought her lips closer to Ryder’s ears, ready to scream.

"Wake up!" The lady said, screaming.

The scream worked instantly as Ryder woke up from his sleep, stunned as if he was attacked. He hastily moved his face in the direction of the voice as he opened his eyes suddenly.

The lady’s face was still close to his ears as she had yelled just now. As Ryder suddenly turned, his lips met hers.

Her eyes opened wide as she realized that her lips were on a man’s lips. Ryder had also just woken up, but he was still sleepy.

As he felt the soft lips on his lips, he didn’t move back. Instead, believing it to be a dream, he placed his hands around the lady’s neck and continued sucking her lips.

The lady was shocked at what was happening. She wanted to move back, but she couldn’t. She felt her legs go weak as the kiss sent a tingling sensation inside her body. Even though she didn’t want a kiss, now that she was experiencing it, she couldn’t resist.

She didn’t want this to end either, as she also responded to the kiss equally passionately.

As Ryder was in the middle of kissing, he also came out of his daze as he realized that it wasn’t a dream. He was in the plane, and he was kissing the woman.

Just as he was thinking of moving back to free her lips and apologize, he saw the beautiful woman wrap her arms around his neck as she passionately kissed him while sitting on his lap.

He was amazed at what was happening to him now. Out of nowhere, he was getting a kiss. He didn’t reject it either since he had also started feeling around as the lady sat on his thighs.

He lowered his hand, placing it in her butt.

"Ungh!’ the woman moaned a little as her butt was grabbed by Ryder. As her moan left her lips, her misty eyes looked deep into Ryder’s eyes, who had used the opportunity to push his tongue inside her mouth.

His other hand slid down to rest on the breasts of the air hostess.

"Did he wake up or not?" Another air hostess stepped inside the plane as she asked.

Stepping into the Business Class, she noticed her friend sitting on the man’s lap. One of his hands was on her breast while the other rested on her butt.

"What the heck are you doing? Do you want to get fired? Get off now!" She commanded her friend, who hastily freed Ryder and got off his lap like a scared rabbit.

She adjusted her clothes.

" I... I..." She stuttered as she tried to explain herself.

"It’s time. You don’t need to explain. I won’t tell anyone. You better hope he doesn’t tell anyone either."

"Don’t worry. It was also my mistake. I won’t tell anyone," Ryder let out as he apologetically stood up.

"That’s better," the second air hostess said, frowning.

"Do you have a phone?" The first air hostess asked Ryder.

"Yeah," Ryder replied, curious as to why she was asking it.

"Good. Here’s my number. Call me later. So we can finish what we left halfway," the air hostess whispered in Ryder’s ears. She gave him a piece of paper at the same time, placing it in his pocket.

She turned and left with her friend.

Ryder couldn’t help but smile as he left the plane as well.

....

Stepping out of the airport, Ryder got a can and went to the nearest hotel.

He got a room in the hotel and straight walked to his room.

Closing the door, he fell on the bed, finally sleeping.

....

"Very interesting. He killed five of them, it seems. Even Suliven is missing after he went there. It seems like he’s after the sixth one now. Then he’ll kill the last one as well. That’s good. The fewer of them, the better. After he deals with all of them, I’ll deal with him all at once."

Back in the office, Ion was still stalking Ryder’s every action.

Knock!

"Come on in," he said at the knock of the door.

"Sir, all the players have failed again. None of them could complete the missing. Even the easiest one has failed. And once again, it seems like Hades was responsible for the defeat of one of them," the assistant told Ion. "What should we do now? We can’t find them try after try. The audience will feel like we aren’t serious about this event."

"That’s right. It’s fine. If they’re defeated, then they’re defeated. It seems like I overestimated them. Still, it was a good experiment. I got some good output from it," Ion replied.

"What should we do about the prize?" The assistant asked.

"As we promised them, we’ll distribute it equally amongst them," Ion answered. "Prepare for that."

"Alright. I’ll do that," the assistant said before she left.

...

Ryder was sleeping on the bed in one of the best rooms of a five-star hotel. The room had many facilities, but Ryder wasn’t concerned about any of them. Instead, he was still lost in sweet dreams.

In his dreams, he found himself in a soccer match. He was the captain of one of the teams, which contained Shu, Alice, and her friends. The other team consisted of Janus and some other people that Ryder knew.

No matter how much effort he put in, he couldn’t get a lead against the team of Janus, who seemed to always be one step ahead. Moreover, the aim of Janus also seemed perfect.

Janus was about to take the victory shot when he stopped as he looked at the sky.

Ryder also looked up to notice a sky that was covered with dark clouds. A light shower had started, but they didn’t shock Ryder. What surprised him was that there was a Water Dragon that could be seen flying through the crowds.

Roarr!

As he was looking at the Water Dragon, he heard a roar.

Turning around, he noticed a Fire Dragon behind him.

The fire dragon changed shape and became a red-haired human.

"You! You dare kill my son?! You deserve death for that!" The red-haired man roared. His roar sounded just like the roar of the Dragon.

The Water Dragon also came down, taking the shape of a Woman.

"You killed my son as well! Today, you shall face the wrath of the gods!"

Another man appeared out of thin air who said the same thing.

One after another, more and more people kept coming, and they all said the same thing that Ryder had killed their sons.

"Who are you? I didn’t kill anyone!" Ryder replied.

"We are the gods that rule over everything! And you killed our sons? Did you think you’ll survive? Did you forget that when you kill them, you wrote your death sentence? You didn’t respect us and killed our sons. Your sin is grave!" The gods told Ryder.

"Come on! I had no choice! They started it first! What happened after that was the snowball effect. I’m sure you can forgive me for that," Ryder replied, smiling wryly.

"Accept your death!" The gods roared in rage as they all pointed their hands towards the sky. A mountain-sized golden sword appeared in the sky, which started falling towards him.

"What the heck are you doing! Janus! Help me!" Ryder yelled, calling to Janus, who was standing right beside him.

"I’m sorry. But you’re on your own," Janus said before he disappeared, leaving Ryder alone.
