Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 612: Seperation

"What he’s saying makes sense. We can only get our answers from the Lord of Space when we manage to find him," Another god chimed in.

One after another, the other gods also chimed in, agreeing.

"As I said, it’s pretty hard to find him since I believe he moves from place to place. We can’t be at all places at once, can we? It’s easier if we spread out. But I leave the decision on you," he added, sighing.

In the end, all gods agreed to the suggestion, including the Goddess of Destiny. They all fell for the words of Janus.

In the end, it was decided that everyone was going to search for the Lord of Space together and not stop until they found him.

All the gods spread out, leaving only Janus back, who also pretended to go in a different direction initially only to stop mid-way and return where he previously was.

He again started searching for the last fragment, which he was here for.

It took him one hour and constant searching to find the fragment which was kept on display at a jewelry store.

He entered the store, not seen by any human.

An evident relief ended up on his face as he noticed a beautiful semi-transparent fragment on display.

Waving his hand, he took the fragment back. The fragment disappeared from the display right under the eyes of everyone who was present here, only to end up in the hands of Janus.

He disappeared after taking the fragment.

....

Janus appeared in the room of Ryder, where Chaos was already present, looking out the window.

"You got it?" Chaos asked without looking back at Janus.

"Yeah. It was hard finding them in such a crowded place despite knowing their approximate location, but I did it," Janus said, raising his hand to show two fragments in his palm.

"The Fragment of Destruction and the Fragment of Creation? Good," Chaos let out as he noticed the two fragments. "A good pair. And they have almost completely gained their strength as well."

He took the fragments from Janus and merged them with his Bracelet of Immortality.

"You know about them, don’t you?" Janus suddenly asked as he walked back to the bed and sat.

"You mean about those seven? Yeah, I noticed," Chaos replied.

Sighing, Janus continued. "They’re here about their missing sons. I sent them to search for the Lord of Space temporarily. It won’t be long before they realize it. So you think we should...?"

"No. It’s time for me to leave," Chaos explained.

"Disappear from this place and find other fragments. The Warzone of Earth needs to end. You stay with the other gods. I’ll leave some trail that seems like the Lord of Space. That should be enough to keep them busy," he continued, shaking his head.

Janus nodded and agreed to the plan before he asked, "Have you decided about Ryder? Will you become one with him?"

"I won’t. He has chosen another path. And how can I say no to myself?" Chaos replied, smiling. ’It’s the first time he asked something from me. I’ll fulfill this wish of his. Moreover, it’ll be safer for him if I separate myself."

"You mean you’ll...? Are you sure? You know this will weaken your soul, don’t you? Since he’s made from a fraction of your soul. You should think about it clearly!" Janus reminded Chaos, who nodded causally.

"I’ve thought about it. And I want to give him the freedom he craves for. Let him live his life, far away from Chaos. He lived unaware of his real identity, all while forming a life of his own. If he wants to live that life, then it’s fine for him," Chaos replied calmly as he sat on the bed.

"Do you think he can live a life of his own without worries? He’ll still have some of your strength since he’s a fragment of your soul, which has completely awakened how. His strength will certainly attract trouble to him. Merging helps you both," Janus let out, still feeling that it was wrong. Both Janus and Ryder were supposed to be one.

"Enough. There’s going to be no discussion about it. I’ve decided. This will happen," Chaos said as he refused to listen. "I know you’re concerned, but you don’t have to be."

"Now, step back. I’m about to begin," he added as he spread his arms wide. An energy barrier came out of his body, spreading everywhere.

Soon, the barrier was surrounded their house.

" This will keep the aura from leaking. No gods should be able to sense the massive amount of energy that’s about to be created here," he added as he lowered his hands.

He closed his eyes and stood still. The Bracelet of Immortality started shining brightly. That shine spread to the body of Chaos as well, making him look like a figure made of bright light.

A small speck of light soon separated from Chaos which flew away before it started getting bigger and bigger, taking a humanoid shape of itself.

Standing behind, Janus couldn’t help but sigh as he saw what was happening. Chaos wasn’t listening to him.

"If he thinks it’s alright, then fine," Janus let out, shaking his head.

Within minutes, both figures stopped shining to reveal another body before Chaos which looked similar to him. It looked exactly like the body of Ryder with short dark hair and beautiful blue eyes.

The second body stood unmoving, watching Chaos.

Chaos casually snapped his fingers. As soon as he snapped his fingers, the body seemed to have come to life.

"Huh? Where am I?" Ryder asked, confused as to where he was.

"Are we in another of your domains?" He asked as he noticed Chaos.

He thought it was the same as the place where he first met Chaos.

"You’re not in any domain. It’s the real world. And you’re in the body that I promised to give you. Are you satisfied now?" Chaos inquired as he casually waved his hand, making a mirror appear before him.

Ryder glanced at his hands, surprised. Was it really the fake body? It felt so real? If he weren’t told that it wasn’t his real body, he wouldn’t even know.

He looked at the mirror, observing himself.

"This... Is really good."

"So, are we different people now?" He asked Chaos.

"If you want to call it that," Chaos let out, smiling. "I hope you enjoy your life on earth. I have also cast a spell on your body. Not even the gods can see that you’re different from a normal human. So don’t use your powers recklessly, alright?"
