Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 618 Messing with brain

Chapter 618: Messing with brain

"What nonsense! None of the things I said was a conspiracy theory! You were the one who always called me! This... You hacked the app! You are behind this! You're framing me!" Itsuki yelled, standing up.
"Enough. I don't have time to entertain your nonsense. If you want my help, go to a good doctor. If you don't want to go there, just leave and live with your sick head. I have no need to frame you!" Ryder lazily said, standing up.
"What a waste. I came here especially for this meeting, only to find out that I was meeting a crackhead. Please leave. The meeting is over. I'm also leaving," he added, opening the doors for Itsuki, who was totally confused. What was happening? Why wasn't Ryder accepting the truth?
As he was wondering what it might be, he realized something.
"I get it! You're pretending not to know anything since you know that I brought Itsuki's mother with me! Isn't that right?" Itsuki asked.
"Huh? You brought your mother too? Is she waiting outside? Why would you even bother to bring your mother to a business meeting?" Ryder asked, sighing.
"Anyway, take her and go," he stated, closing the door after everyone had left the office.
Leaving Itsuki behind, he started leaving.
The Goddess of Destiny stood behind Itsuki, watching everything. She couldn't help but wonder if this was true? Was this guy actually crazy? Was he lying about Ryder being the Lord of Time?
After Ryder left, Itsuki turned towards the Goddess of Destiny. "I swear on my life! He was pretending!"
'Whatever you claimed, you didn't show any proof. You said that guy came to your office to meet my son. But there was no proof of that. Then you said he called you here. No proof of that either."
"Then you stated that he sent you the footage of my son in an accident. No proof of that either, was there?" Goddess of Destiny asked.
"Ah, he is just too clever. He probably deleted all the footage! Don't trust him. I swear I'm not lying! He is the son of God of Time! He actually reversed the time of a plant!" Itsuki insisted.
"Enough with that story! He had no godly aura! And he has no aura of our sons either! He's nothing but a human! Enough with your crazy stories! Tell me the truth!" The Goddess of Destiny said, placing her hands on the shoulders of Itsuki.
She disappeared with Itsuki.
"Those two have left," Maya informed Ryder, who was sitting in the helicopter.
"That's good. I think we handled it well," Ryder let out, smiling. The helicopter started flying.
"Too bad I can't take his company now."
...
Since the jet of Shu had long left, he couldn't go there. He needed to wait for tomorrow for his next flight.
He straight went back to the mansion.
After having dinner at the mansion, he went to his room.
"Maya, can you trace that goddess who was with Itsuki? Where are those two? I want to go to the Divinity World, but I can't with her looming over my head. Can't let her see me disappear," Ryder said, sighing.
'After Chaos took my body and gave me this one, I've gotten rid of all the aura of those gods that I killed. That aura was attached to the original body. And he even made it so that no one can see that I'm more than a human. Fortunately, everything worked as expected.' he thought, lying on the bed.
"I found the two of them," Maya replied, opening a holographic screen in front of Ryder, which showed Itsuki.
Itsuki was sitting on a chair, blankly. There remained no expression on his face.
The Goddess of Destiny wasn't alone with him. There were also six other people with her.
"Oh, cr*p. They didn't give up. Those seven should be the parents of the ones I killed. What are they trying to do?" Ryder asked, frowning.
"Can you access his memories and confirm if he's telling the truth?" The Goddess of Destiny asked a man who had his hand over the head of Itsuki.
"Ah, they're trying to access his memories! I freaking knew they'd do something like that! I hope that medicine works, or I'll be screwed big time," Ryder muttered, hearing what they were trying to do.
...
Hours ago,
Ryder had just stepped out of his helicopter on top of his building, but before calling Itsuki to his office, he met with a worker in his office.
He gave that guy two glasses of water; one had a little mark on them.
As for the marked glass of water, it was drugged. Ryder added a medicine he purchased from the store in the glass is water.
The medicine effectively messed with the person's memories, removing all he saw before and changing them all to the dreams he had seen throughout his life.
Ryder knew that someone was probably going to try something with his memories; that's why he messed with them. The effect of the medicine started as soon as Itsuki left the office.
As the worker served the glasses of water, Ryder picked up the water, which didn't have a mark, leaving the other for Itsuki.
Itsuki also picked up a glass of water and drank it, not expecting it to be drugged.
....
"Please make the medicine work. Or I'll be fcked!'
Ryder prayed, waiting to see what happened.
The man who had his hand on the head of Itsuki retracted his hand with a weird look on his face.
"All his memories are messed up. I think you were right. He is crazy. His words can't be taken seriously. In some of his memories, he's the president of the whole world," he said.
"In other memories, he's a popular actor, and in some, he's a man in a metal suit, fighting a pink alien who wants to wipe half the world. It's just weird," he further added, shaking his head.
"Yes! It worked!" Ryder clenched his fist in excitement.
"See Janus?! I don't need your help to handle such things! I can do it without you too!" he exclaimed, smiling.
Just as he was getting excited, he noticed something.
"Wait! Can you show me in the back of the room? I thought I saw someone's hand. Another person is there!"
Maya widened the screen to show the whole room.
Ryder was able to see another person present there now. It was none other than Janus!
He was standing with all the gods that were searching for Ryder as well.
