Divinity: Against the Godly System

Chapter 325 - 321: Going To Hell



" It's not about not dying. It's about getting that power without meeting our master. That's the most intriguing part. Even Riya was made not to die, but the guy managed to defeat her easily. He's not only undying, but he's powerful as well. As for his fighting skills, sniping all out snipers without knowing their position, that's a feat in itself. That person... is not simple," the second man said.

"Hahaha, why don't you tell it straight? You're dying to fight with that person. I'm too! He seems to have the potential to become a king in the Uprising," The masked man said.

"Yeah, I want to fight him. Too bad, he didn't come. If he had come, he wouldn't be able to leave," the second man said as a creepy smile appeared on his face.

There was a strange aura surrounding both of these men. The aura seemed to be warning that these two people were dangerous. The aura around them made them seem like a powerful deity that looked down on normal humans who had no strength. 

"Yeah, if he had come once..." The masked man muttered as he clenched his fist.

Shu was sitting in his hall, looking at the news as well, wondering who would do such a thing. The security guards around his mansion were even more alert tonight. The guards were guarding with the mindset that this place was definitely going to be targeted so that they had no lax in security.

The news channels started showing the visuals of the hotel where Ryder was about to go before he changed his plan.

"Sigh, it's so good that he didn't go there. Who would've thought that the hotel that's known for its security would not even be able to stop a bomb from getting inside? Not only this one hotel but even other seven-star hotels. They have such great security; just how were the bombs brought inside? Did someone make a bomb that's tough to detect even by them? It could be a good technology," Shu muttered as he frowned.

He picked up his phone and called a number.

"Yeah, it's me. Get in contact with the government. Have them bring us a sample of the remains of the bomb that was used in today's attack. I want that to be analyzed. Find out how these bombs were made and how they weren't detected," Shu said as soon as the call was connected.

"Yes, Sir," The other person said before Shu disconnected the call.

" These guys are getting really advanced," Shu muttered as he sighed.

Time kept passing, and soon, it was four in the evening.

Ryder was just about to call Ray as he still hadn't revived the information regarding the rest of the locations, but that's when he felt a notification sound.

He looked down at his laptop screen and saw a small window asking him to allow the permission to receive video and text files. Ryder clicked allow and waited for the information to arrive.

His phone started ringing. He looked at his phone and saw that it was Ray calling.

He picked up the call.

"I sent everything I found. There were 14 blasts, and out of the fourteen, I managed to get information about Thirteen. There's still no information about the fourteenth place as everyone died there and there was no CCTV. Forensics are still there, trying to analyze everything, but that might take some time," Ray informed Ryder. 

"By fourteenth, do you mean the bar that was targeted?" Ryder asked, thinking about Esmi's club.

" Yeah, it was a bar. How did you know?" Ray asked in surprise.

" That doesn't matter. So, let me get this straight. I have the face of four terrorists from the five attacked locations that were under your jurisdiction? Did you manage to get the sketch of the fifth person at least?" Ryder asked.

"Yeah, I sent the sketch along with the files," Ray replied.

"That's good. As for the other nine places, except the bar, I should have the faces of all attackers, right?" Ryder inquired.

"Ah, not all. They don't have the face of another person. I sent you a sketch of that person as well," Ray said.

"Alright. So there's only one person I have no idea about, and that's the person that targeted the club. I'll go through the content you sent me. Thanks for the help," Ryder said. He was just about to disconnect the call when he remembered that he had something else to ask Ray.

"Oh, right. I had another question," Ryder said abruptly.

"What question?" Ray asked.

"About the bombs. How were they brought inside the hotels despite their checking and seven-star security?" Ryder inquired.

"That... Even I don't have the specifics about it yet since the guards that handled the gates died in the blasts. But from the videos I saw, it seemed like the bags that had the bombs did go through the scanner, but they weren't detected. It might be a new component they used to make the bomb or some new tech in the bad that hid it. We're still investigating that," Ray answered Ryder.

"Alright, thanks." Ryder disconnected the call.

He put his phone down and started going through the text files that he received first.

He moved over to the videos and started looking at the clips he received. He had finished looking through everything in forty-five minutes. It was only 16:45 when he finished with this.

He closed his laptop and got off the bed as he cracked his knuckles.

" Hah, finally I'm ready to go," Ryder muttered as he sighed.

"I sure do hope that this going back through time works if the death is intentional. Otherwise, I'd be screwed big time," He let out with a wry smile as he stepped out of the room.

"Are you going outside?" Alice asked Ryder.

"Ah, yeah. I'm going to the reception. I'll be right back," Ryder said as he smiled.

He left the room and went into the lift. Instead of going down to get to the reception, he went up.

He went to the top floor of the hotel and went to the roof through the stairs. The door to get to the roof seemed to be locked, but Ryder broke the lock before he opened the door. He stepped on the roof and walked over to the edge.

The hotel had seventeen floors. As Ryder looked down, he couldn't even see anyone clearly. There was no one on the road.

"I'm going to hell, aren't I?" Ryder muttered with a wry smile on his face before he took a step forward.
