Chapter 546: Ja.n.u.s coming to Earth
The Second King was also killed by Ryder, who was now lying on his body without a head.
Ryder hastily kept the body in his inventory before he went into his bedroom.
Closing the door of his room, he sat on the ground before bringing out the body of the Second King and started absorbing his powers. The process moved smoothly as one more king"s strength was absorbed by Ryder.
...
Unaware of what was happening back home, Aluren and the Vice President of this country were going to a resort with Gander, believing that Ryder was there.
They didn"t know that they were instead going away from Ryder.
...
Back in the New Capital, the team of Necrosis was trying to contact Alice to tell her that she needed to come there for the tournament, but her phone was off for a long time, so even they were finding it hard to get to her.
Necrosis had even sent a worker of their company to personally inform Alice about this at the mansion of Shu.
....
The FBI was still on the trail of Ryder, but they were getting no clue as nothing was left behind. As for Ryder"s man in the FBI, he was also being careful about it. He wasn"t finis.h.i.+ng Ryder. As for the initial times that he did, he kept precautions.
Thus, the investigation of the murder of the Director was stuck at a dead end. Fingerprints, blood samples, video footage, nothing helped them move forward.
....
After what seemed like an hour, Aluren and the others reached the resort and started searching for Ryder. Aluren stood in the back with the First King while Gander asked the receptionist about Ryder while showing them this picture.
"Was this guy here?" Gander asked the receptionist.
"I don"t believe I have seen him," the receptionist answered.
"Are you sure?" Gander asked again. "Look carefully. We know he was here for at least a minute. His phone was active here."
"I told you, I don"t think he came here. At Least not as a guest. If his phone was active here, then it could be that he stopped by near the resort but didn"t book a room here. In any case, I"m sure this guy didn"t come here," the receptionist answered.
Gander looked back at Aluren with an embarra.s.sed look on his face.
"I guess the receptionist is right. Ryder probably drove through here when he activated his phone for a minute, and I thought that he was here," he said, hitting his head in embarra.s.sment.
Aluren didn"t say anything as he turned back to leave.
The first King, however, said something.
"I am really disappointed in you," he said as he also left.
Gander lowered his head as he followed behind.
" Don"t blame me. I have no choice but to lie," he thought.
He also entered the car with Aluren and the first King.
"If we believe that he was pa.s.sing through here, then it might be possible that he is back. He would most probably be going back to his home," Aluren said.
"That"s right. I guess it was a good decision to leave one of us behind," the First King said.
The luxury car once again started moving as it was taken back to the Shu Estate.
....
"Do you see anyone near him?" The G.o.ddess of Life asked.
"No. The G.o.d of s.p.a.ce, fortunately, isn"t near him. That"s good," Ja.n.u.s answered.
The G.o.ddess of Life was about to say anything when she stopped as she saw someone else entering Ja.n.u.s" domain.
Ja.n.u.s stopped his spell before he turned back to see who had arrived.
"G.o.ddess of Destiny? What brought you here?" Ja.n.u.s asked as he looked at the beautiful-looking woman.
"Ja.n.u.s, I am here to ask for your help. I have already talked about this with other G.o.ds, and I believe it"s the right decision. Only you can do this," the G.o.ddess of Destiny said before she glanced at the G.o.ddess of Life.
"What are you doing here, though?" She asked.
"I came here to ask him something. Now that I"m done, I"ll leave," the G.o.ddess of Life said before she disappeared.
"What help do you need?" Ja.n.u.s asked the G.o.ddess of Destiny.
"Have you heard the news about the appearance of the Lord of s.p.a.ce on Earth?" The G.o.ddess of Destiny asked.
"Yeah, I heard. What about it?" Ja.n.u.s asked.
The G.o.ddess of Destiny looked at Ja.n.u.s as she sighed. "You know about the trials as well."
"The sons of seven G.o.ds are on earth, trying to go through the trial uninterrupted. The Lord of s.p.a.ce appearing there could disturb it. But we all can"t go there to search for him. It would be hard for us too, because of his Heaven"s Shroud and more so because our sons are there, we shouldn"t go down."
"So the Seven of us have decided to send someone else in our place to find the Lord of s.p.a.ce and to invite him to the G.o.d Realm," she said.
"Why me? Other than you seven, there are more G.o.ds," Ja.n.u.s said, expressionless. In his mind, he was happy.
He wanted to accept this offer since this allowed him to go down to earth officially, without raising any eyebrows or attracting any suspicions on why he went there.
"You have the necessary skills needed for this. Moreover, the Lord of s.p.a.ce is a bit hard-headed. He has known you for a long time since he was the friend of your brother. You two go long back. He would certainly not be upset if you ask him to come back. If someone else does this, I"m not too sure," she added.
"That"s true. He might be angry and think that you guys are trying to control him. He is a free soul, after all. I would help you this time," Ja.n.u.s said as he nodded without much expression.
"We are really grateful. So when are you going to earth?" G.o.ddess of Destiny asked.
"I will go as soon as I can. Within a few hours since, I also wanted to experience the earth which Lord of s.p.a.ce is seeing," Ja.n.u.s replied.
"I"ll be preparing a few things now. You can leave," he told the G.o.ddess of Destiny.
The G.o.ddess of Destiny didn"t wait here any longer and left.
As Ja.n.u.s watched her leave, a smile appeared on his face. He was going to go to earth.
He was already worried about Ryder with the appearance of Lord of s.p.a.ce. Fortunately, now he could directly try to find the Lord of s.p.a.ce before he could get to Ryder.
Moreover, he could also see Ryder personally and possibly even give him some treasures that he couldn"t give previously.
He disappeared and appeared in his Palace before he started taking a few things that he wanted to give Ryder.
After he was done, he started leaving the G.o.d Realm for Earth, excited.
....
A car stopped before Maxwell Estate, from which Aluren and the others stepped out. The three of them walked inside the Estate.
The first King called out for the Second King, intending to ask him if Ryder had returned, but he got no response.
"There"s no response. Is he not here? He wouldn"t have broken your command. He wouldn"t have left," the First King thought as he received no response even after calling out multiple times.
"You won"t find him. I guess Ryder already got to him. There goes one more King. I don"t know why, but now I have a feeling that Ryder can do this. Within two days, he had killed almost all the Kings. He should be able to create a miracle and kill Aluren too," Gander thought as he sighed.
"Check upstairs. Maybe he"s there," Aluren told the first King, who listened to the commands and went upstairs.
Ryder was still in his room, upstairs.
....
Itsuki was trying to find Ryder through Aluren. He believed that Ryder was possibly a G.o.d son as well.
He was also the son of G.o.ddess of Destiny, but he didn"t know that his mother himself sent Ryder"s brother on earth. The guy he was going to go against... his brother was coming to Earth to help him even more.
The Earth that already had seven G.o.d sons in different countries was now going to have three G.o.ds as well: Chaos, who was asleep inside Ryder, Lord of s.p.a.ce and Janu, the G.o.d Of Transition, and Gates.
Earth had become a mini G.o.d realm, and the destiny of a lot of people was going to change forever.
In this giant mess, there also existed the Necrosis Corporation, which also had a scheme of their own, which wasn"t something that a mortal could have come up with.
Something big was going to happen soon, and no one had any idea since they all believed that their own plan was the best.
As for the biggest planner of them all, Chaos was still sleeping without his Divinity, waiting for the time when all puzzle pieces were going to be in their proper place.
