Divinity: Against the Godly System

Chapter 579 - 575: Meeting Janus


"That's not the only thing which will hurt. Just wait," Ryder said as he gripped the sword firmly in his hand while advancing towards Julien. 

"I doubt you'll get the opportunity anymore," Julien said as he also attacked at the same time. 

Unfortunately, before his sword could even clash with Ryder, a tree giant came out of nowhere, attacking, which smacked the face of Julien, who hadn't expected it. 

Julien once again flew back, but he didn't release the Golden Sword this time. He kept holding it firmly. 

Ryder chased after Julien, who had once again managed to stand on his feet, but unfortunately, he didn't get the time to prepare as Ryder's sword came slashing. 

He blocked Ryder's attack, but as he hadn't managed to balance himself properly, he couldn't keep standing as he blocked the attack. 

He was pushed back and forced on the ground, but that's also not where Ryder stopped as he changed the Sword to a long-handed Hammer with which he tried to smash Julien's chest. 

Julien rolled to the side, dodging the attack, but Ryder didn't stop. He didn't give him the chance to stand up as he kept attacking with his hammer like the god of war. 

As the attacks of Hammer kept coming nonstop, Ryder didn't stop. He kept attacking, not giving any chance. 

"How does it feel down there?" Ryder asked Julien as he kept attacking as if he was mocking him. 

"This guy, he isn't half bad. He knows that Julien is a tough enemy when he stands up. Good going."

Standing in the distance, Itsuki was watching Ryder fight Julien. Instead of joining in, he spent his time on observing the battle.

Unfortunately, he wasn't the only one who was observing the battle. 

The hammer kept getting dodged until Julien reached the tree. He couldn't move another. And a hammer also came from above, intent on smacking Julien's head. 

Tung!

The hammer finally got a hit as it wasn't dodged. But it didn't hit Julien. Instead, it hit the blade of Julien's sword, which he had used to keep himself safe. 

It also happened to be the moment where a strange wave of energy suddenly came out of Julien's body which tossed Ryder back. 

"There it comes. He's finally getting serious," Itsuki said, frowning as he saw what had happened. 

Julien's skin was shining in a mysterious blue light as his eyes turned pitch black. 

He stood up calmly, looking like a Demon. 

In the distance, Ryder was stunned to see what it was. This guy? What had happened? How did he become like a Demon?

' Ah, Janus? What's happening? Did he become a Super Saiyan or something' Ryder asked Janus, frowning. What was happening? Everything was going normal. Why is he suddenly like this now?

"He has entered his Half God mode. His strength and defense have doubled. He can also use his godly powers now," Janus answered. 

' What the heck? Was he less strong before that he had to be stronger? What the heck is happening? There was no mess like this with Aluren. Why can't Julien be a good boy and die peacefully like Aluren?' Ryder asked, frowning. He was feeling slightly upset. 

"All god-sons can enter into their semi godly physique. The trial is to allow them to enter their full godly physique. Only the ones that pass in the trial can become true gods. They are all semi gods now," Janus answered. 

"As for Aluren, you took his Divinity away before you actually killed him, so he couldn't enter his semi-godly physique," Janus answered. 

"Well then, aren't I fucked? He's basically twice as strong as me now," Ryder said, frowning. 

"Wait a minute. I also absorbed Aluren's strength. Can't I enter this Semi-Godly physique?" Ryder asked Janus, frowning. 

He was feeling slightly intimidated as he looked at Julien. 

He also looked at Itsuki as he yelled, "Are you just going to stand or help me?"

Itsuki smiled wryly as he replied, "I thought you wanted to have fun alone. That's why I didn't join!"

"Well! Now I'm asking you to join! Get your ass down here and help me finish it fast!" Ryder yelled, frowning. 

At the same time, Janus also answered him. 

"You can also enter your Semi-Godly form, but that's not suggested. That would be problematic," Janus answered Ryder's question at the same time. 

"You don't expect me to just die, do you?" Ryder asked, frowning. 

"Fine! I'll do something. But you need to get as far away from Itsuki as possible. Or he would be able to sense my presence," Janus told Ryder. 

"What do you plan to do?" Ryder asked, frowning. 

"I plan to come to you. Get at least five hundred meters away from Julien and Itsuki so they can't sense me!" Janus told Ryder. 

"Y-you are coming in real?" Ryder asked in disbelief.

"That's right. If you want my help, get out of there now. I'll take the risk. But it'll be the last time," Janus told Ryder before he stopped talking. 

Julien seemed to have finished his transformation. Aside from his skin and his eyes, his hands had also changed to wolf-like claws. As for his body, it was slightly bigger as well. 

As he finished transformation, Ryder started flying away. He soon caught up to Itsuki, who was running towards him. 

"What are you doing?" Itsuki asked, frowning. 

"Handle him for two minutes. I am coming right back with something I need. Just two minutes!" Ryder told Itsuki as he didn't stop flying. 

"I'm also taking your car, so I can come back faster with what I need!" He said as he continued flying. 

"W-what?" 

As Itsuki stood stunned, Ryder had already left. Ryder entered the Ferrari and started it before he left. 

"W-what the fuck?' Itsuki blurted in shock. 

Ryder had actually left, leaving him to deal with the buffed Julien? The heck? 

He didn't want to enter his semi-god physique, but it seemed like he was left with no choice. Now that he was stuck in the middle of this, he had no choice. 

...

Ryder drove the car for one kilometer instead of five hundred meters, just to be sure. It was only there when he stopped the car and left. 

"I'm away from them! Come out!" Ryder declared as he stepped out of the car. "You can come here!'

...

Sitting in his office, Ion was amused at the weird twists and turns this battle was taking. 

Ryder and Julien fought? Then Julien got serious? Then Itsuki joined, and then Ryder ran away? He couldn't understand what battle it was. It was so unorthodox. 

He had two screens in front of him. In one, he could see Itsuki also coming in his godly form. Julien was already prepared as well. 

On the different screen, Ion was looking at Ryder, who had stepped out of the car as if he was waiting for someone.

Ion was highly curious as to what was happening. He kept his eyes on the second screen where Ryder was. 

...

"Janus? Where are you? Come on!" Ryder said, calling Janus again' who hadn't replied to him the first time. 

"Get inside the car." Janus' voice finally came. 

"What do you mean get in the car? Are you not coming?" Ryder asked, frowning. 

" I told you to get in the car," Janus repeated again. 

As Ryder heard the voice again, he was surprised. It didn't seem like the voice was coming from his head now. It seemed to be coming from the car. 

He turned towards the car to be shocked as he found a kid sitting in the passenger seat of his Ferrari. 

Ryder hurriedly got inside the car. 

In a different part of the world, Ion was surprised as well. Ryder stood outside the car. That was fine, but the way he went back, it was as if someone was inside the car. Who was it? That was the question that he was curious about. 

As Ryder stepped inside the car, he smiled. "God, you really look like a kid. Who would have thought that you were a god."

"Anyway, it's good to meet you, little brother," he further said as he hugged Janus tightly. 

"B-brother? Did your memories..." Janus muttered but didn't finish. 

"Of course, little brother. Didn't you give me a task before that I must treat you as a little brother? So you're my little brother," Ryder said as he freed Janus. 

"Anyway, now tell me. How are you going to help me? Are you going to join us in the battle?' he asked. 

"If I join, all hell will break loose. You're already doing very well. You must continue as well," Janus told Ryder.

"Then why did you personally come here for?' Ryder asked. "Since you can't help physically?"

"I came here for this," Janus said as he placed his finger on the forehead of Ryder. 

As soon as his finger touched Ryder, Ryder's eyes closed as his body started shining.
