Divinity: Against the Godly System

"Are you leaving now?" Ryder asked Chaos.

The way Chaos was talking, it made him feel like he was going to leave.

"This place has nothing left for me anymore. So yeah, I'll leave now. But first, I need to do something," Chaos let out as he disappeared. He appeared in the room or Alice.

"Where did he go?" Seeing Chaos disappear, Ryder was surprised. He wondered if this guy already left.

"Don't work; he hasn't left yet. He is in the other room," Janus explained as he stood up. Instead of disappearing, he left through the door.

"The other room?" Ryder muttered, realizing that the other room belonged to Alice.

He also ran to that room, wondering why Chaos was there.

Entering the room, Ryder found Chaos standing before Alice.

Alice still had her eyes closed as she slept peacefully.

Stepping closer to her, Chaos placed his finger on the forehead of Alice.

As he removed his fingers, a speck of light came out of her forehead, which was grabbed by Chaos.

"What are you doing to her?" Ryder yelled, thinking that he was hurting her.

"Don't worry; I'm just taking something which doesn't belong to you. She is perfectly fine. I haven't woken her up," Chaos told Ryder as he stared at the speck of light in his hand.

"What is that?" Ryder asked, staring at the speck of light.

"It's nothing you should be concerned about," Chaos replied as he turned back to leave.

"It's time I leave. Janus, you know what to do after I leave, right? Just contact me if you face any problem. I'll be finding others in the meantime," he added before he ultimately disappeared.

As Chaos disappeared, Alicia also opened her eyes. She had woken up from the scream of Ryder, but Chaos was keeping her asleep.

"What are you doing here?" Alice asked Ryder, stunned to see him in her room at this time. "Did you need something?"

Ryder looked at Janus, who was completely ignored. He wondered if Alice could even see Ryder. She didn't ask who this boy was?

"Why are you looking there? Is something there?' she asked Ryder.

"She can't see me. You don't have to worry," Janus also confirmed. "Anyway, I'll also leave now. You'll still have the system I gave you to help you, along with all your abilities. But you don't have the bracelet, so you can't use any Immunity."

"You can, however, use the abilities you had accumulated before. Use them well and stay alert," he reminded Ryder before he also started disappearing.

"Will I see you again?" Ryder asked Janus, seeing his figure become transparent.

"Maybe..." Janus muttered before he disappeared.

"Who are you talking to?" Alice asked Ryder, seeing her talk to thin air.

"No one. I just came here to see something. I'm done; I'll take my leave." Ryder also left the room, not waiting anymore.

"Hmm? Strange." Confused, Alice went back to sleep.

...

Ryder walked to his room and sat on his bed as he observed himself.

He opened the Stat Screen to see his stats which were the same as last time.

Almost everything seemed the same. The only difference was that some of his old skills were missing and his species was written as [Human?]

"What the heck? Why is there a question mark after my species? Is it because even the system isn't sure what I am?"

He tried bringing fire out of his hands, using Aluren's abilities and succeeded, but he understood he could no longer enter their semi-god form.

He soon stood up and took off all his clothes to see if the other things were the same as well, like his body proportions.

After making sure that everything was how it should be, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Chaos. For giving me my freedom and for listening to me," he muttered as he got dressed again before he walked back to the bed to sleep.

...

In the unknown place, Chaos appeared out of thin air.

The place where he appeared seemed like a barren planet that had nothing but mountains.

He was standing on top of the tallest mountain in this place.

Looking down, he waved his hand to make a big hole in the ground before tossing the speck of light in that hole. He soon filled up the hole before leaving this place.

As he left, he didn't even bother looking back once.

...

Janus had left Ryder's house and started the search for the Lord of Space just for show. Of course, he knew that guy was dead, so he didn't put any effort into it. He was just searching casually as if he was sightseeing.

Soon, he was contacted by one of the gods with the communication stone.

It was the Goddess of Water who was contacting them. She was saying that she found something and she was asking for others to come to her right away.

All the other gods approached her, wondering what had happened.

"What happened?"

As soon as Janus reached the goddess of water, he was able to see other gods already present there. They were asking questions.

"I think the Lord of Space was recently here. Also, I found this communication stone here. It has his aura all over it! Moreover, it also has someone else's aura," The Goddess of Water explained as she showed a red crystal she had picked up.

"That's the aura of my son! It's the stone he carried with him! It's confirmed, the Lord of Space kidnapped my son! That bastard!" The God of War roared furiously as he recognized his aura.

He couldn't help but stomp his feet on the ground, causing an earthquake.

"Calm down! And answer us this first. Why did he have this stone? Wasn't it against the rules?"

"Shut up! He only carried this in case there was ever a need to contact us all in case of an emergency like this! My son is kidnapped, and you're focusing on small things like this? Grow up!" The God of War fumed, diverting the topic.

"That's right. We have more important things to do. All our sons are still missing and it seems like Lord of War took them," he added, sighing.

"That also raises a question. Why would he leave this behind? I mean, he kidnapped your son and came here to toss this stone? That doesn't seem like it!"

" Yeah. Something is strange. But only Lord of Space can answer why he did what he did. We need to find him first!" The God of War accepted.
