Chapter 596: Jumping Worlds
"If it"s true, that would really be amazing! I need to collect the fragments even faster in that case. After that, even if the dream of mine becomes a reality, I would be able to protect myself."
"No fire would be able to burn me. And similarly, no other attack would work as well. The physical attacks would still be a problem. I have absorbed the strength of six G.o.d-sons. I wonder if that gives me enough strength to at least physically face the G.o.ds if they come."
"Whatever, better than nothing! I just need to be prepared for the inevitable day when that happens. If I fail and if I"m at risk, I can just teleport to another world.".
Sitting on the sofa, Ryder seemed to be taking himself as he heard of the skills that he had just received.
"But would that skill even work? It should only work if I"ve seen another world before," He frowned as he thought about it. He felt like he was missing something.
Suddenly his mind clicked as he realized what he was missing.
"The world of Divinity!" He exclaimed in surprise.
"Isn"t that the real world too? If that"s the case, I should be able to go there physically. I won"t have the revival boost of the game since my real body will go there. I"ll just be like other NPCs, but that"s fine too. I have a revival skill of my own!"
"Finally, I can be stronger than the High Dukes. Heh! I wanted to be stronger than them from the start, but now I can do it without even leveling up!"
A grin rested on his face as he realized the infinite possibilities that this skill had just unlocked. He was literally the G.o.d of Divinity if he went there! That was perfect, he believed.
"Alright! Calm down! I still haven"t opened the last surprise. Let"s open that as well," he thought as he smiled.
He closed all the screens and opened the detail screen of Ruler of Origin.
[ Ruler of Origin]
[Description: No Description]
[Skill received: Origin Immunity]
"What the heck?"
As the screen opened, there were only three lines that he could read, and even those didn"t give him any details regarding it.
There was no description of the skill. All it had was a name. Moreover, unlike the other Ruler Skills, it doesn"t have three sub-skills. Instead, there was only Origin Immunity.
"What the heck is Origin Immunity? What the heck is even Origin? Is this a scam? At Least give me a description!" he complained as he smiled wryly.
"Ja.n.u.s! You tell me! What is Origin?" He decided to ask Ja.n.u.s directly as only that guy could answer.
There came no response from Ja.n.u.s even after he waited for over five minutes.
"Come on! I know you are listening. Tell me about it. It"ll just take five minutes at best." He added as he sighed, but even that didn"t get him a response.
"Fine. Don"t tell me. I guess it"s a useless skill anyway. In any case, it"s Origin Immunity. It should be a pa.s.sive skill. It wouldn"t have mattered even if I knew about it," he let out as he stood up.
He closed the screens.
"Let"s see the s.p.a.ce Skill."
Since it was night, he was sure that it must be day in Divinity. Moreover, he had time to take a trip too.
He used the Ruler of s.p.a.ce as he thought about the World of Divinity. He even imagined the Royal Palace to have a good idea as to where to appear exactly.
Soon, his body disappeared from the earth.
...
Ryder appeared in the world of Divinity inside the Royal Palace as he wanted to. Unfortunately, the appearance spot happened to be different than he imagined.
He initially wanted to teleport in the Throne Room, but the place he appeared in was something he had never expected.
He has teleported inside the area where Miku was showering. She wasn"t wearing anything as she sat inside a pond. Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were half submerged in water while the rest was clear for Ryder to see.
Fortunately, she happened to have her eyes closed and couldn"t see Ryder.
Ryder breathed a sigh of relief as he silently tried to leave the room.
Miku slowly opened her eyes as she prepared to leave. Her eyes fell on Ryder, who had just turned back to escape.
"Who are you?! Intruder!" She exclaimed as she jumped out of the water. Her figure flickered as she appeared before Ryder, pointing her knife at him that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
"Miku, it"s me. Don"t you recognize me?" Ryder asked, smiling wryly. He didn"t attack Miku as he wasn"t worried of being hurt. What concerned him more was the fact that she wasn"t wearing anything and she was standing in front of him.
"You can"t fool me like that! His Majesty doesn"t look like you! And his aura is different as well! Moreover, he won"t ever try to peek at me while bathing! You think I won"t recognize him? You not only infiltrated the Royal Demon Empire, but you also tried to impersonate His Majesty?" Miku yelled furiously.
It was only now that Ryder recognized what was wrong. They had become familiar with the Aura of his real body, which had a Blood Demon Species aura. On the other hand, his current body had the Divine G.o.d"s aura, which was clearly different.
"Don"t be fooled! My aura is different because I"m using a skill! It"s a skill to shroud my Aura! That"s why you find it different? As for my appearance here, that was an accident. I was practicing the Teleportation of the High Dukes. I just couldn"t control my destination and accidentally appeared here!" Ryder explained.
"You"re lying! Prove it!" Miku said firmly.
Ryder casually waved his hand, making the Moon Scythe appear in his hand.
"Do you recognize it? I"m sure you can see that its aura isn"t fake. Moreover, only I can control it. Moreover, I have more ways to prove it! Only I, you, and Rale know that I have snuck out of the Demon Realm through underground portals. Also, the fact about where our maids actually went when they disappeared!" He told Miku, proving his ident.i.ty.
"T-that"s true. Only His Majesty should be able to use the Scythe. And it"s certainly real," Miku said, blankly. The knife in her hand disappeared as she went down on her knees with tear-filled eyes.
"I"m extremely sorry, Your Majesty. I"ll accept any punishment you have for me. I dared to show my weapon at you!" She said firmly as she lowered her head, waiting for punishment.
"Don"t worry about it. Anyone could have made the mistake. Moreover, you were just trying to keep the Empire safe. I should praise you for that, not punish you," Ryder let out, shaking his head. "In fact, I should be the one asking for an apology. Not only did I suddenly appear when you were bathing, but I even saw everything."
"Y-you don"t have to think about that. As a subordinate of Your Majesty, you have every right to see my body. I and everything in this Empire belongs to the Demon Emperor," Miku respectfully responded as she stood up.
"I"m not sure about that. Nothing belongs to me, especially not you. You belong to yourself," Ryder said as he smiled wryly.
"Anyway, get dressed now. I"m having a hard time keeping my gaze away," he added. "I"ll wait."
Miku nodded as she stood up. She hastily dried her body and wore clothes. "I"m done."
"That"s good. Let"s leave. I also want to meet High Dukes and Rale. I think they"ll be suspicious of my ident.i.ty as well. I"ll have to convince all of them," Ryder said as he started leaving. He still kept the Moon Scythe in his hand as he thought it"d come in handy.
"Ah, Your Majesty! What is with your clothes? They look so odd." Before Ryder could even step out of here, he heard Miku"s concern.
He looked down to realize that Miku was telling the truth. He was still wearing the clothes from the earth, which looked odd here.
"That"s right. I don"t have my normal clothes. Can you bring my clothes? I"ll wait here," Ryder told Miku.
"Yeah. I"ll do that. Stay here," Miku said, leaving the place.
Ryder stayed behind, waiting for Miku.
Within ten minutes, Miku returned carrying a pair of his Royal Clothes.
After giving the clothes to Ryder, Miku turned back to give Ryder privacy to get dressed.
"I"m done. Let"s leave," Ryder said, tapping on Miku"s shoulder as he got dressed.
He left the place with Miku and went in search of Rale, who he believed to be training the Royal Guards at the moment.
Stopping at the training room, he pushed open the gates and stepped inside.
Feeling a new Aura in the place, Rale turned back to look at the entrance.
As he saw Ryder, a frown appeared on his face. His frown only deepened as he saw the Moon Scythe in Ryder"s hand.
