Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 604 Meeting Lord of Space

Chapter 604: Meeting Lord of Space

"I still don't understand why we need to send an Envoy down. Janus is there, isn't he? Even if you're concerned about the kids, we can ask him to check, can't we?" Another god asked.
"He should be busy finding the Lord of Space. Let's not divert his attention. What is even the problem with sending a messenger to check if they're fine or not?" The God of War asked, frowning.
"Sigh, fine! If that's what you want, we'll do that. We'll send an envoy down to meet all of our kids. But that will be all. No message will be delivered. It'll be just to check if they're fine or not," The Goddess of Destiny said, agreeing.
"That's all I wanted. Let's make it as fast as we can," the God of War said, pleased that everyone agreed.
...
Ryder finished the dinner and went back to the mansion of Shu.
As everyone seemed tired of playing all day, they all went back to their rooms without spending any more time together.
Ryder also walked back to his room and laid on his bed. He wanted to go to the Divinity World, but he found himself somewhat tired and sleepy.
"I'm still feeling more sleepy than usual. Didn't Janus say it was because I absorbed the strength and my body was adjusting to it? Hasn't it been long enough already? I wonder when it'll stop," he muttered as he struggled to keep his eyes open. He was feeling too lazy. He fell asleep right away.
As Ryder fell asleep, a person was walking inside his neighborhood.
The person kept walking towards his mansion. It was only after ten minutes that he stopped.
The person looked towards the Maxwell Estate as he nodded.
"Finally, I'm here."
He jumped over the wall to get inside the Estate. As he jumped, that person landed right in front of the Guards, but it didn't seem like any guard could see him.
That person walked carefree right before the eyes of the guard, not worrying about being caught.
He soon reached the gates of the Mansion.
His figure suddenly disappeared as the person appeared on the other end of the gate.
He calmly walked towards the stairs and climbed up.
The person soon stopped before a particular room. The room belonged to none other than Ryder. A smile formed on the face of that person as he entered the room. He passed through the door as if it was air, providing no obstruction to him.
As the person stepped inside, he was able to see Ryder sleeping on the bed.
He stepped close to Ryder.
Stopping just a single step away from Ryder, he reached out his hand towards Ryder.
"Here you are," the person muttered. He caught the wrist of Ryder as he closed his eyes.
The person's body started shining along with Ryder's body. After a few minutes, everything returned to normal.
"It's good. It should be enough. His body is completely prepared," the silver-haired person muttered, who happened to be none other than Janus.
He had just checked to see if Ryder's physical body had enough Divinity to support the return of his. He found himself satisfied to know that it was enough.
Janus glanced at the bracelet in Ryder's hands, sighing.
"If only he had more fragments. But then again, he at least has the fragments to resist the strongest of the enemies. I think it's time I woke him up and get some scolding. The Lord of Space is on Earth. Who knows when he-"
Janus was talking to himself, trying to justify something, when he suddenly stopped. A frown developed on his face as he looked in a certain direction.
It was the time when the Lord of Space also entered the neighborhood.
"He just had to come now? I need to intercept him," Janus said as he sighed.
He glanced towards the sleeping Ryder. At the same time, he waved his hand to bring forth a sticker that had a few strange characters carved. He placed that sticker on Ryder's forehead.
After being done, he disappeared.
...
The Lord of Space had just stepped inside Ryder's neighborhood when he stopped.
"Janus, what are you doing here?" He asked, turning around.
" I came here looking for you. The main question, on the other hand, would be what you're doing here?" Janus asked, standing in front of the Lord of Space.
"Can't I take a walk? I was getting bored, after all," the Lord of Space said, smiling. "Staying alone for so long was more boring than I thought. So I came here," the Lord of Space asked, laughing.
"You could've come to the Heaven to take a walk? It's amusing that you chose the world where the young gods are going through trials. I'm sure you know the rules, don't you?' Janus inquired.
"Ah, so those guys sent you here. I suppose it was to bring me back?" The Lord of Space inquired.
"That's right. So get ready to come back," Janus said, getting up. "It's better for us to stay away from Earth for trial duration
"I'll come back after I'm done with what I have to do here. Don't worry; you go ahead. I don't interfere with anyone's trial. I'm not interested in that," Lord of Space answered.
"Done with what you have to do here? Didn't you say you're here for a walk? In that case, you're done. Let's come back," Janus retorted.
"Janus, I'm not coming back. That's final. Go back. In any case, you know you can't force me back. But if you want to try, you can call the other gods here. Maybe they might be able to do something," Lord of Space said as he continued walking, ignoring Janus.
"Tell me the truth. Why are you actually here?" Janus asked as he again appeared in front of the Lord of Space.
"I'm sure you already know the reason, don't you? There's no way you wouldn't know this," the Lord of Space asked, smiling. "You really think I can't feel his aura now that I'm so close to him?"
"Who are you talking about?" Janus asked, frowning.
"As I said, you know exactly what I'm saying. Tell me. He's here, isn't he? Chaos? How did you all do it?" The Lord of Space asked.
"I mean, imagine my surprise when I went to meet the Lord of Time only to find that place empty? There were no signs of battle, but I could feel the disturbance in Space. And that powerful aura of Chaos is impossible to be hidden from me after all," he added.
"There was also the aura of earth. I had a feeling that Chaos was on Earth. I came here, but that aura seemed to disappear. It wasn't as prominent. It took me so hard to find this aura again. I had to search the entire Earth."
"Why is his aura so weak, though?"
The Lord of Space was pleased that he was close to Chaos, but he was also stunned that his aura was so weak. It was so weak that even he couldn't feel it until he came closer.
"What happened? Why are you so silent? Troubled because you're getting caught? Actually, I was suspicious of you, but I didn't know that you'd actually do you. This was really bad," the Lord of Space said.
"I'm any case; I hadn't expected that he would come back. Not only did he come back, but he even killed one of his friends?"
" Is he looking for revenge? Is it because the fight with the Lord of Time exhausted him so much that his aura is weak now? Is he hurt? There are so many questions in my hand, including how he achieved it successfully."
"Something is certainly going on though. He would have come outside by now. I'm sure he can feel my aura too, then why isn't he coming out?" he asked.
"Do you really want to face him?" Janus asked. "After what happened last time, do you really want to go before him? That too, without any backup?"
"Backup, huh. That's true. He's pretty strong. Or he was, at least. Not looking at his weak aura, I don't think he's the same as before. In any case, it's what I must do," Lord of Space replied as he started walking towards the Maxwell Estate, Teleporting behind Janus.
Janus did the same as he also appeared in front of the Lord of Space again.
"You want the answer. I'll tell you everything. These are things you must know before meeting him if you don't want things to go back," Janus told the Lord of Space.
"I feel like you're just trying to delay me, but sure. I'll listen to what you have to say. In any case, I have sealed the space of this place. Neither you nor he should be able to leave without my permission," the Lord of Space smirked as he folded his arms while he waited for an answer.
