Divinity: Against the Godly System-Chapter 654: 650: Father

"Who else?" he asked, smiling. "Will you marry me?"

"W-what about her?" Devilia asked, looking back at Aslina.

"We already talked about it. I had told her everything at the start," Ryder responded. "So, are you going to answer me?"

"Yes." Devilia stood up.

"Yes to answering or yes to marriage?" Ryder asked, amused.

"Yes to both!" Devilia exclaimed as she hugged Ryder tightly while kissing him on his lips.

...

Time kept trickling away as if it was at a race with itself instead of a race with others.

Months turned to years and years to decades.

Throughout these long years, Ryder had settled a good life for himself. The biggest problem for him was convincing Alice and Esmi, but after one year of struggle, he had managed to convince them.

The two of them agreed to marry him. Despite all that, he didn't tell the two of them about Devilia and Aslina, keeping his life separate from the world of Divinity.

His company also started rising once again, and by the tenth year, it had become the biggest name in the aviation industry and the medical field, opening branches all over the world. Some of it was because of his mystical contribution, but he didn't tell anyone.

He didn't help the world more than a tiny bit since he needed to stay underground, keeping the ancient being inside his body safe.

Despite that, he could still sprinkle some magic here and there, manipulating the world in his fingers. If he wanted, he could've made his company the wealthiest company, but he didn't do it. He let Shu's company remain at the top.

He also wasn't involved with the weapon industry, letting Shu's company deal with it, which helped it maintain its monopoly.

Ryder Flynn was the name that was on everyone's lips as he was the star that had risen out of nothing, taking the world by storm, revolutionizing the entire Medical industry, which helped Saving millions of lives.

It was a form of making up for his mistakes since he was the reason many of the people had died in the first place. The blood of millions of people was in his hands because he was the reason for the earthquake that had killed so many people.

So he atoned by helping the medical field. The Divine Corporation, which was started by him, was a company that discovered the cure of many incurable diseases of the past.

In fact, at one point, people had started calling Ryder a literal angel of God who was here to help the humans.

His wealth was rising the fastest, but his reputation was rising even faster. Despite being so rich, he still lived in the house of Shu with his joint family.

After the tenth year, he had started to do something else as well. He wanted to find Maya a new life. She was still in her illusory form since Divinity was shut down.

He could easily give her a human body, but he was told that it was something that could alert the higher gods of their presence on earth. The only other option was to bring back Divinity and let her live there.

That was also why ten years after getting his newfound powers, he purchased Necrosis which was just a remnant of its former glory.

Necrosis had long gone bankrupt, so it wasn't hard for him.

He changed the name of Necrosis and released the game known as Divinity again, this time with his support.

Even though it was ten years into the future, users still flooded shops to buy headsets for Divinity which allowed them an access to the world, which had long gone silent.

This time the game was different though. Users were banned from killing any being in this world, excluding monsters. Since Ryder realized that it was a real world, he didn't want humans of this world to die because players thought that they were NPC.

Maya was given freedom inside the world of Divinity, where she could live her real life. She was also the manager of Divinity to control everything. She was literally the God of Divinity who lived inside it as well.

Ryder didn't start a guild in the Divinity, as was the plan in his young years, but he did let Shu start a guild.

Shu wanted to live the guild life, and Ryder gave him the opportunity.

The humans from the earth and the humans from the world of Divinity enjoyed the company of each other. Moreover, all the missions for the players were something that was to help the citizens of Divinity.

...

It had been two years since Divinity was rereleased and twelve years since Ryder had barged inside the tomb, which changed his future forever.

An armored helicopter landed on the roof of a massive building.

The door opened slowly, and a person stepped out of the helicopter.

The man had beautiful silver hair and a sharp chiseled face. The man looked like he was in his mid-thirties; however, his looks were something that could make any lady fall for him instantly.

His deep blue eyes seemed to be in a hurry.

"Welcome, Sir!" A group of well-dressed people welcomed him.

"Enough of the welcome. Where is she?" The man asked.

"Madan Alice is in her room. She is perfectly fine. Let me lead you to her, Mr. Flynn," the leading man respectfully said.

He couldn't disrespect the Silver haired man since this guy was the one who was one of the richest men in this world. Moreover, he was also the one who owned the massive hospital where they were standing.

"Good. Take me to her."

Even though Ryder was in a hurry, he had stopped using Teleportation since it was just suspicious in places like this. He used the usual mode of travel unless he needed to travel to isolated places.

"Please come!"

The group of men led Ryder to the lift, which brought them to the 45th floor.

As Ryder came out of the lift, he found another middle-aged man standing before a room, walking back and forth.

He walked to the chubby man, who also looked pretty rich.

"You're finally here. Are you nervous?" The chubby man asked, laughing.

"Nervous? Man, I'm about to have my second kid, but it's still like the first time. Which father won't be nervous?" Ryder chuckled. "But I'm more excited than nervous. Where's Esmi?"

"She is accompanying Alice inside in your absence. Go ahead before she comes out to kill you for being late.." Shu laughed before pushing Ryder towards the room.
