Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 337: Forming Trident

"I’m trying to get him back. After I have the permission I need, I should be able to bring him back. Just know that he’s perfectly fine," he added.

"Why is his phone switched off then?" Alice inquired in confusion.

"When I talked to him, he was in a hotel, and his phone was on low battery. It probably turned off. He must’ve placed it on the charger and fallen asleep. It was a tiring day for him after all," Shu replied. He kept his expressions straight, not letting out even a single clue that he was lying.

"Oh," Alice muttered as she nodded her head.

She looked towards the tv and saw the headline.

"Flying humans?" She exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah, it seems to be that way. They seem to be fighting for some reason," Shu told Alice.

"Anyway, you go and sleep. Brother Ryder told me to tell you to sleep early tonight," he said innocently.

"I’ll sleep later. It’s not a daily event to see flying humans," Alice muttered as she sat on the sofa and looked at the TV.

Shu sighed as he sat beside her. He knew that he couldn’t force her without having her be suspicious and think that he was lying about something. He was more concerned about her, though. He was sure that Ryder was somewhere around that place since the helicopter was there, and he didn’t want Alice to see him there.

Ryder didn’t know what was happening. None of his bullets were hitting their target. Also, despite being affected by the effect of the rain created by the Ruler of Water and even after having his speed reduced significantly, the masked man was closing the distance between him and Ryder.

The strange thing was that that man wasn’t even flying, instead running in the air towards him, and he was flying; still, he was slower than the man.

"I don’t know what his abilities are, but from what it seems, He is able to solidify the air or create invisible wind blades. No matter which ability it is, the solid bullets are hit by it and change their direction. I need to try a different approach along with trying to make him tired and make a mistake. He can make the solid objects miss him, but what about the liquid objects. Wind blades can’t cut water. Even if it did, it can’t make it change its direction," Ryder muttered as he frowned.

"I’ve never been able to create it successfully, but it seems to be finally the time to do it. I’m the lord of the water, so I’ll have my trident! Let’s see if he can do the same thing with my water trident!" Ryder muttered as he flew back. His hair was wet because of being in the rain and covering his forehead. He used his left hand to move the hair back and clear his view before straightening his left hand.

The Water Droplets of the rain that were going to fall down started stopping near his hand. He didn’t know what it was but his hand. It seemed as if a magnet was there, and the water droplets were made of iron. They started joining together and formed a sphere. The sphere kept getting bigger and flew near Ryder’s hand as he flew back.

"Hmm? He can control water as well?" The Thirteenth King muttered as she saw a water sphere near Ryder’s hand.

"Control of water? Just who is this guy? How many abilities does he have? Where did he get these abilities from?" the Twelfth King was also surprised as he saw this. He was expecting Ryder to have more abilities that he hadn’t used, but still, he was shocked to see him coming up with a new ability.

"Interesting kid. There seem to be so many mysteries surrounding you. We’ll have to uncover all the mysteries ourselves," he muttered.

The Five black-robed subordinates of the Thirteenth King were also shocked.

"It’s been over ten minutes. All of you were wrong," the fifth black-robed man muttered as he sighed.

When everyone was guessing how long it would take before Ryder was defeated, he was the only one who had stayed silent and said that they didn’t have enough information to guess that.

"This kid is not ordinary. We can’t treat him like a normal person and judge him on that criteria," the man continued as he glanced at his fellow teammates.

Just when the sphere was big enough to form a Trident, Ryder stopped collecting the water.

"I hope it won’t blast everywhere like the last few times. Just let me create one Trident successfully. I won’t call myself Poseidon, but let me create it once," Ryder muttered as he started manipulating the sphere to take the shape of the trident that he wanted.

The Sphere started taking shape, and it became a thick staff at the bottom with a smaller water sphere at the top.

It seemed like a magical staff that had a mystical orb at the top, the only difference being that the top was a sphere of water.

The top sphere of water also started changing shape.

Soon, it was starting to look like a trident. The only thing that was still lacking was that the trident wasn’t sharp enough.

Ryder kept flying back as he continued shooting at the Thirteenth King while still keeping enough focus on the trident to stop itself from blowing off while getting its edges sharp.

As Ryder was flying away, he was getting awfully close to the news helicopter. The camera crew was finally able to get a focus on his face.

Finally, the entire world was able to see the face of the first flying human.

Most of the country and the world was watching this.

As Ryder’s face became visible, not only one but many people were shocked.

Esmi and Bastion were amongst them who stood up in shock in front of their TV. Shu and Alice had the same reaction.

There were more people who were watching it than Ryder could’ve expected.

On a dark Island, a palace existed. A man was sitting on the throne inside the palace. Eleven people were sitting on seats that were a little lower than the main throne.

"Why isn’t the Thirteenth destroying the news helicopter first? He’s showing this to the whole world?" one of the eleven people muttered as they looked at the holographic screen in front of them.

"It’s good that he isn’t destroying that. So what if the world knows. At Least we can see the kid in action. The kid who spoiled our plan. He’s quite special; I must say," another one of the eleven people said.
