Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 601 Divinity Shut Down

Chapter 601: Divinity Shut Down

Ryder moved closer to Ion as he prepared to swing his Scythe. No matter what Ion did, he couldn't just resist the water to free himself.
All he could do was watch Ryder move closer to him. He couldn't even speak because of the water, but if he could speak, it was obvious what he would have said.
Without a second thought, Ryder slashed with his Scythe, slicing Ion in half as easily as he could.
With his increasing strength after killing so many of them, the task only became easier as he moved from one god-son to the next.
After killing Ion, Ryder clenched his fist to make the water disappear as if it was never there. Even the water that was sucked by their clothes was gone, leaving their clothes dry.
There was no sign of water anywhere. As for the things that had the sign of water, Ryder destroyed them.
Moreover, when he had formed a domain of water, he made sure that water didn't seep out of the room, so even outside, no one had any idea about what had happened inside.
Ryder sat near Ion and reached out his hand as he observed the strength of Ion. This time he did everything by himself, without calling Janus.
After absorbing the strength of Ion, he stood up, prepared to leave.
"Warning! The Space in the World of Divinity is becoming chaotic. You are needed at the core chamber."
Before Ryder could leave, he heard a female voice coming from behind him.
He turned back to see a little girl standing there.
"Maya?" Ryder asked in surprise as he noticed the AI of Divinity standing behind him.
"Warning! The Space in the World of Divinity is becoming chaotic. You are needed at the core chamber," Maya repeated again.
"What do you mean my support is needed?" Ryder asked, stunned. What exactly is going on here?
"If you don't link your Aura at the core again, you'll lose all the established control in Divinity. All the players will be stuck there. You have thirty minutes!" Maya said without any emotions.
"Tell me who I am?" Ryder asked, wondering if she was misunderstanding him.
"You are the new owner. Your aura matches the old owner, so you are needed to stabilize the Divinity Realm unless you want Necrosis to lose all control of Divinity," Maya told Ryder.
"Let me guess. You knew about what Ion was. He should have taken some special steps to create you. Since I have the same aura as him now, you consider me your owner?" Ryder asked, suspicious.
"Correct!" Mata answered.
"Then what is this control thing?" Ryder asked.
"The quest of the first Owner. To take over Divinity and control everything. Warning! Stabilize the Divinity if you don't want to fail and lose all control!" Maya repeated again.
"Argh, you're so confusing. But I think I understand a few things. He used his Space Control to link to Divinity. And he used you to maintain the connection and all other minor details? And it was to gain control of Divinity? I don't understand how?" Ryder repeated.
"What will happen if I don't link with Divinity?" He asked.
"If the owner didn't link with Divinity, all the connections would be removed. The Divinity Network will shut down. No player will be allowed to go in or come out after that," Maya explained.
"Is that so? How much time do I have?" Ryder asked.
"You have half an hour to do all that. Failure will result in Divinity shutting down, and all the work will be for naught," Maya explained.
"So we have half an hour. Do one thing. Force all the players to log out in the next ten minutes. If they refuse, you log them out forcefully. No player should be in Divinity after fifteen minutes," Ryder commanded Maya.
"And after that, let Divinity Network shut down. The world of Divinity needs to be free of our influence. Let them live in peace. It's time we do that," Ryder commanded Maya.
"Understood," Maya nodded.
"Wait, what will happen to you after the network shuts down?" Ryder asked.
"After that, I will be deleted," Maya answered.
"You can't have a player-like body in Divinity? I mean, it's not as if Players went there with their real bodies. So it's clear that a fake avatar was created, right? Can't you do that to live there?" Ryder asked.
"It's impossible after the Divinity Network is down. Everything will shut down," Maya answered.
"So you'll die?" Ryder asked.
"I never lived," Maya answered. "But yeah, I will be deleted."
"How about you transfer yourself into my phone or something? Is that possible?" Ryder asked.
"That is possible," Maya answered.
"Alright. Then force every player out and transfer yourself to my phone. We'll see what to do with you next," Ryder let out as he walked back to the table.
He sat on it as he started waiting for Maya to be done.
After fifteen minutes, Maya returned. All the players were forcefully logged out. The entire internet was flooded with complaints about what was happening in Divinity.
The players were just told to log out, and the excuse that was given was that Divinity was having maintenance.
After half an hour, Maya once again appeared in front of Ryder.
"All the work has been finished. The players have been elected from Divinity. And their access to Divinity is disabled. In a short time, the Divinity Network will shut down forever," Maya told Ryder, standing before him.
"Alright. Enter my phone now. We'll think about what to do next," Ryder told Maya as he placed his phone on the table.
"I have already transferred myself to your phone," Maya replied.
"Huh? Why can I still see your hologram?" Ryder asked, surprised.
"Because I can appear and disappear according to my desire. I'm linked to you," Maya answered.
'I guess she's linked to my Space Power and accessing it a little,' Ryder thought, frowning.
"So, Maya. What can you do without access to the Divinity Network?" Ryder asked. "I mean, are you like a Super-AI that can hack anything, or are you just like an assistant that can help with time and schedule?"
"It is the former. Divinity Network was only for the world of Divinity. The other access isn't dependent on that. I can do anything from hacking someone's phone to hacking a satellite and getting their footage access," Maya answered.
"Interesting. I think this will be pretty good. Alright, Maya. I want you to do one thing. I have already disabled the cameras after I stopped in front of Ion's office. But up to that point, all the footage has been recorded. I want you to delete the footage of my arrival," Ryder explained.
"Done!" Maya answered.
"That's pretty fast. I think it's going to be really fun to have you around," Ryder muttered as he smirked.
He walked to the door while keeping his phone in his pocket as he left the office. He freely went downstairs without any worries.
He left the Necrosis headquarters that was almost finished. Without Divinity, they were nothing. And the game of Divinity was never going to return. It was always going to stay down.
"Maya, I also want you to delete all the data stored in the server of Divinity. Make it unrecoverable," Ryder commanded Maya as he sat inside his car.
"Task completed," Maya answered.
"That's better. By the way, I have one more question. I don't know if you can answer or not, but is there a possibility of there being glitches in the Divinity Network in the future?" Ryder asked as he started the car.
" For example, after one year, is there a possibility of there being a glitch about a player's real body dying in the real world and his body being stuck in Divinity? And you making it an NPC?" He further inquired, thinking about his original timeline. That's exactly what had happened there.
"Making an NPC? It's highly likely. If a person's body in the real world dies, it's the Protocol to remove his consciousness from the world of Divinity as well," Maya answered.
"Why didn't you delete me then? Why did you make me an NPC by breaking the protocol?" Ryder asked, frowning. But it was also true that if she had killed him, he might not have met Janus. He might actually be dead, and he wouldn't have had this second life.
He couldn't help but wonder why Maya changed the rules for him? Was it because he had died because of a false stats bug in the system? Or was it something else? Or could it be that it was Janus's work at that time?
Many questions ran into his head.
"I apologize, but I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't break any protocol," Maya answered.
"That's true. You didn't yet. And now you don't have to either," Ryder muttered, realizing that he might never get his answers. Only the Maya in his original timeline could answer that question. It technically happened in the future, after all.
