Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 571 They're the same

Chapter 571: They're the same

"Maya! Bring the footage of Ryder this instant!" Ion commanded. A screen opened before him, which showed Ryder's interaction with Itsuki.

"Fast forward to the moment he brought out his weapon," he further commanded.

The video started moving forward, and soon, it was in the scene where Ryder had brought out his Scythe.

"Pause right there!"

"Zoom in on the weapon!"

As the focus was placed on the Scythe, Ion couldn't help but smack the table.

"That's right! It's the Moon Scythe of Hades! As I expected, he is Hades! And he is the son of the Lord of Time too. That must be why he's able to stay hidden despite all that! I caught you, Mr. Ryder!" He said as he burst into laughter.

"Who knew, a G.o.d-son was inside Divinity! He was playing! So that was why there was so much distortion around Hades! Even though indirectly, he did help me by joining the game. And if he's Ryder, I don't have to be careful! I can finally put the final plan forth!"

"After this billion dollar trial is successful, I'll get control over an even bigger part of Divinity! After that, I'll take him on! I'll make sure he finds himself in trouble and struggles hard, creating even more chaos. With that, I'll be done. That much push should be enough."

A grin was on the face of Ion as if someone had given him a big gift. He finally knew the ident.i.ty of Hades, and it was helpful for him.

....

Ryder didn't know that Ion had already realized his ident.i.ty. He was still in the plane, approaching Itsuki, who was sleeping.

Ryder soon reached Itsuki, but he didn't stop there. He continued walking and entered the toilet, which was on the other end.

As Ryder walked past Itsuki, he opened his eyes slowly. He noticed Ryder waking up, and he had placed a test of himself to see if Ryder was actually trustworthy.

Ryder had pa.s.sed the test, making Itsuki trust him even more.

Ryder washed his hand and his face as he looked at himself in the mirror.

'I can't kill him, no matter how good the opportunity. I need him and his knowledge about others to kill them. Just as I noticed it this time, all of them won't be stupid like Aluren to fall into my trap. I'll need to fight now, and it's better to have support,' he thought, looking in the mirror.

He walked back to his seat and started resting as he wondered how angry Alice would be at him right now for him blowing her off again.

"How much do you know about Julien?" Itsuki asked Ryder, who had just sat down.

"You're up? Anyway, I know a lot about Julien. But from the time I'm from. I don't know anything about the younger him. So I can't tell," Ryder answered.

"I'll tell you then. Since we need to be quick and efficient, we need to have a plan," Itsuki told Ryder.

"Julien is, I guess, the fastest out of us. He is also the most carefree as he doesn't involve himself in the matters of others," he further said.

"But he does love living the rich lifestyle of Earth. In fact, I believe he has the biggest sports car collection on earth."

"Also, he has two subordinates that he shared his powers with. And both of them are pretty strong as well, just like him," Itsuki explained.

"So we need to take his subordinates out first? Does he always keep them with him?" Ryder asked, curious.

"Yep, they are always near him. Even when he goes on long rides, they follow behind in their cars," Itsuki answered.

"Is that so? I guess we need to take them out first before taking on Julien," Ryder suggested.

"Nope. We can't. If we went after them first, Julien would find out about us. He'll be suspicious, and that will make things tough for us. So we need to be careful. We need to take on all of them at the same time," Itsuki suggested.

"That'll make things more chaotic," Ryder pointed out.

"It won't. Because we'll do it in such a way that everything will work out," Itsuki responded.

"What's your plan?" Ryder asked, curious.

"Every day, Julien takes a long drive in his sports car on the empty streets of Germany. His subordinates follow behind him. That's where we'll take action. I'll get in between them and block the subordinates. You will follow Julien and attack him," Itsuki answered.

"And I will take care of the subordinates before joining you. If you still haven't finished Julien by then, I'll join you, and we'll finish him together. How's the plan?" He further asked.

"Sounds good so far. We'll do it then," Ryder agreed. They'll be in an empty place so he could use all his powers, too, without worrying about other people. And when he used his powers, he believed he could win.

It wasn't going to be like Aluren since Ryder was strong. It also wasn't going to be like it was with Itsuki since they weren't going to be on top of a crowded building.

"That's better. We'll land there, and we'll get on with the planning. I already have his general schedule since he basically does the same thing every Sat.u.r.day. We'll wait for that day, and we'll strike," Itsuki said as he finished up.

...

The plane soon landed at the airport in Germany. The flight had taken only five hours as it got here.

As Ryder checked the click, he realized that it was only 8 in the morning according to the regional time.

Ryder and Itsuki left the flight. Since they didn't want to attract much attention, Itsuki didn't use his reach to get a car outside. Instead, they just booked a cab like normal tourists, which brought them to a small hotel.

"Stay in the hotel; I'll go and arrange for some rental sports cars since we'll need them," Placing his stuff in the hotel room, Itsuki told Ryder.

"It's fine. I'll come with you too. I also wanted to get some fresh air. I'll be bored in the hotel," Ryder replied, not letting Itsuki go alone.

"Are you still suspicious?" Itsuki enquired. "It doesn't matter. It's not like I'm going to rob a bank. You can come with me."

Ryder and Itsuki left the hotel together.

As they walked beside each other, for Ryder, they were two young men walking together. Unfortunately, for the others who were seeing them, they seemed like a couple that had come here on vacation since they saw Itsuki as a woman.

"This is where we'll get the cars we need. To keep up with Julien on Sat.u.r.day, we'll need the fastest cars we can find," Itsuki said as he walked towards a garage before them.

The garage seemed to have the best of sports cars from every prominent brand that was available.

"Whose garage is this?" Ryder asked, curious.

"It's another car collector. But he also gives his cars on rent for a few days as long as the pay is good," Itsuki answered.

The two of them entered the garage and approached the owner. While Itsuki talked to the owner and handled the legal process, Ryder looked around.

He was amazed at the cars that were here. In fact, there were even some rare models that weren't available in the United States.

After dealing with the owner, Itsuki walked back.

"Alright. I made a deal with him. We can take any two cars. Which one do you want?" He asked Ryder.

"I will take this one," Ryder said, placing his hand on a Bugatti, which was their latest offering at the moment.

"Then I'll take this one," Itsuki let out as he selected a Lamborghini.

"The keys are inside the cars. Step inside and let's leave," He further said as he stepped inside the car.

Ryder also opened the door of the Bugatti, and he also stepped inside the beast of a car.

He picked up the key and started the car.

Broom!

As the engines of the car roared, Ryder finally remembered how good these cars were. His personal car seemed to be nothing before them.

"After I'm done with everything, I'll buy one of these too," he muttered.

Itsuki already got the car out of the garage. Ryder also followed behind him.

Ryder noticed that Itsuki had stopped right outside the car. He brought his car right beside Itsuki's and lowered the window.

"What happened?" Ryder asked.

"Nothing. I was waiting for you." Itsuki replied.

"How about we test the cars today? Follow after me. I'll show you the path that Julien will take on Sat.u.r.day. We need to understand the road better and know where it'll be the best to intercept them," he further said as he again started driving.

Ryder also started the car, followed by Itsuki.

The two of them left the city, reaching the empty roads far away from the city, which was the place Julien drove in.
