Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 505 Departure

Chapter 505: Departure

"You guys are pretty suspicious. I hope you don't plan to do anything against me. Because if you do, I'll have to get involved. And you wouldn't like it when I get involved, especially now that I have so much strength," Ryder muttered as he wore Divinity Gla.s.ses.

He closed his eyes and commanded, "Take me to Divinity."

A link was established, and he found himself in the world of Divinity.

Ryder appeared in the throne room of the Royal Palace when it was early morning here.

Rale and the others were still waiting for Ryder.

"Your Highness, you're back."

Rale let out as his eyes lit up at the sight of Ryder.

"Are you prepared?" Ryder asked Rale.

"Yes. The High Dukes are also prepared. They're waiting outside for you for departure," Rale answered.

"Alright. Let's leave then. I'm already late, I guess," Ryder let out as he stood up and started walking outside the Palace with Rale following behind.

"Are our Royal Guards outside?" Ryder asked Rale.

"That's right. They're outside with Miku and Miyali," Rale answered.

"Miku and Miyali? That reminds me. Did the new maids get hired? And what's happening with Miyali's training?" Ryder asked, frowning.

"Miyali's training seemed to have gone pretty well. She can already transform for a little while staying in control. I'll give credit to Miku. Her knowledge and her training worked wonders," Rale answered.

"As for maids, all new maids have been hired. Also, as per your orders, we have started giving money to the family of maids that were killed. We still didn't tell them about their deaths, though," he added.

"That's good. As for telling them, I'll find a way to do that too. But that's for later," Ryder nodded in appreciation.

"Are Miku and Miyali coming with us? They said they want to come with us. I told them that only you could decide that. So, do you want to bring them with us?" Rale asked Ryder.

"They want to come? Well, they are strong. At Least Miku is. And from what you said, Miyali has improved a lot too. So this can be good. What do you think?" Ryder inquired in return.

"I'll listen to your wise decision," Rale threw the responsibility back at Ryder.

"Fine. We will take them," Ryder answered.

'It's an important quest anyway. I can't afford to fail it,' he thought as he remembered the consequences of losing.

If he lost, he wasn't going to be allowed to log in ever again. He was going to lose everything he created in the world of Divinity. That wasn't something he wanted to go through after working so hard to increase his level.

Moreover, he had Rale and others here. They had all become a part of his family now, whom he didn't want to lose.

Ryder and Rale left the Royal Palace, followed behind by a few Royal Guards.

The rest of the Royal Guards were already waiting outside for Ryder.

"Ah, Your Highness, I just remembered something. You're going for war. Most of the soldiers would be seeing you for the first time. Shouldn't you change clothes?" Rale suggested when they were a few meters away from the exit.

"Uh?"

Confused, Ryder looked down, only to have his mouth open wide. He was still wearing the attire that he had worn in the Death Domain. It was the dress of Death Domain.

He hadn't realized that he was still wearing that. His mind was completely diverted because of the war and the quest.

"Wait a minute. I'll change clothes. You guys go ahead and wait for me outside. Tell the High Dukes that I'll be out in a minute," Ryder told Rale and the others who listened to the commands.

After Rale and the Royal guards left, Ryder remained behind and started changing his clothes.

He wore a beautiful white dress and donned a luxurious red robe on top of it.

He also wore the shoes of wind that were gifted to him by a High Duke.

Not only that, but he also brought the Royal Crown out of his inventory and wore it, increasing his charm and authority even more.

He even brought a red glove which he wore in his left hand. In his right hand, he wore a gauntlet.

"Now, this is better. The perfect look to lead the army to war," Ryder muttered as he grinned.

As he looked at himself in a wall mirror.

"Oh wait, I still lack something to complete my look."

He raised his hand, which had the Moon Scythe wrapped as a bracelet. The bracelet unraveled and started getting bigger and bigger before it returned to its original shape.

Ryder held the Moon Scythe in his hand as he stood proudly.

"This is better. As their leader, I should support their Royal weapon. Too bad, I can't use the Moon s.h.i.+eld as it lost all its power without the fragment," Ryder muttered as he sighed in disappointment.

He once again started approaching the door and stepped out of the Royal Palace, only to see a ma.s.sive army standing at the door.

"The heck? We have that big of an army? And this is all situated in the Royal City? If we count the entire army of the Demon Realm, just how big would it be?" He exclaimed in amazement.

As far as his eyes could see, he saw the army. It was like the entire place was filled with a sea of soldiers.

"You're out. You are late," High Duke Magna told Ryder. "Anyway, let's get going."

"Shouldn't I give a speech to the soldiers first?" Ryder asked, frowning.

"Huh? Do you want to do that this time? We're already late! This is an emergency!" High Duke Magna said. "We shouldn't delay any longer."

"I'll only take a few minutes," Ryder answered.

"Let him speak. The soldiers are confused. They need some words from their soon-to-be king," High Duke Oris said.

"We should let him speak. He's not a prince anymore. He's technically our King since he finished the Kings.h.i.+p Trial. We just can't complete coronation now. As a soon-to-be king, we can't command him. Instead, we should listen to him," High Duke Mila also chimed in.

"He's our leader in the war, and we're his advisors. We can only advise him but not form decisions for him," High Duke Eston said.

"Cheh, fine. Speak," High Duke Magna agreed.

Ryder took a step forward as he looked at the sea of soldiers. The soldiers at the front were silent, but the soldiers at the back who couldn't see Ryder were chattering amongst themselves.

Using his flying, Ryder started rising in the air until he was ten meters high to make sure everyone could see him.

As soon as the soldiers in the back saw Ryder, they also stopped talking.

"Soldiers of the Brave Demon Realm! Listen to me! I am Prince Hades, your soon-to-be King! As you may know, today, our Empire faces a peril! We are being attacked by our old enemies that we had defeated brutally last time!"

"But as the saying goes, some people never learn! They once again decided to attack our Empire because they have a death wis.h.!.+ It's time we fulfill their wish and show them the true power of the Demon Realm! Not only to the Spirit Realm, but it's time we have a show of strength, so our enemies think at least ten times before attacking us next time!"

"Do we have the strength to do it? Yes! Can we do it? Yes! Will we do it? Yes! That's all you need to remember! We're the warriors of the Demon Realm! We never learned yeh meaning of Defeat! We have fought countless wars, and we have won them all! This will only act to increase that number of victories."

"So you all have no need to be worried! As long as you give it your all, we will win! And we will win big time! Let's win and make the Demon Realm gre- ahem, I mean, Glory to the Demon Realm!" Ryder declared proudly, making a mistake and correcting it right away before he came down.

He landed in front of the High Dukes amidst the deafening chants of the soldiers that were filled with the fighting spirit after hearing Ryder's words.

"That was a good speech," High Dukes complimented Ryder.

"Enough wasting time! Let's leave! Our border is under attack! You all seem to be forgetting that!" High Duke Magna complained.

...

Thousands and thousands of flying beasts filled the sky of Demon Realm, carrying the Royal Army Soldiers on them.

The ones leading were the Prince and the High Dukes. The citizens of the Demon Realm watched them leave in the sky. They cheered for them loudly, wis.h.i.+ng the army good luck for war.

Even though they were hopeful, they were still concerned since it was their first fight without a king. Even though they had High Dukes, without their King, it still felt different.
