Chapter 591: I\'ll protect you

Ryder found himself surrounded by the gods from all sides, making him ask Janus for help, but even Janus seemingly refused to help before he disappeared, leaving Ryder alone in the storm.

Looking at all the gods flying in the air, Ryder didn’t know what he could know. He could ask them for forgiveness, or he could fight them. But he didn’t know how strong they were. He doubted he had what it took to defeat them, especially when there were seven of them.

Just as he was thinking about what he could do, he noticed tens of tree branches coming out of the ground, which wrapped themselves around his legs. No matter how much he tried, he couldn’t move.

He tried opening the inventory to call out his Moon Scythe so that he could cut the tree branches that were holding him in a place.

Surprisingly, even the inventory didn’t open. He couldn’t access it, no matter what he tried. He couldn’t even see it. Without the Inventory, he realized that he didn’t have a hope of success.

He couldn’t win either. His strongest weapon wasn’t with him. Let alone the strongest weapon; not a single weapon was with him as he kept everything in Inventory. The tree branches didn’t seem to be the end of it as he soon noticed the ground split again.

This time water started coming out of the ground, which swallowed Ryder, who couldn’t even move.

He was even more horrified as he found himself submerged in water, unable to breathe. For some reason, even his Ruler of Water wasn’t helping him breathe underwater.

He was suffocating, struggling for a single breath. He tried to swim out of the water to get some air, but the tree branches kept holding him tightly, not letting him move even an inch.

Just as he felt like he was going to die, the water started leaving. It went back inside the ground, leaving Ryder behind, whose clothes were completely wet.

Finally, he was able to breathe. As he breathed heavily, gasping to take in oxygen that he needed, he raised his head to look at the gods.

"Please don-" he said to make them stop, but before he could even finish, he noticed the red haired man waving his hand.

Deep red fire came out of the ground as if it had come straight from the depths of hell. The fire swallowed Ryder as well and started burning him.

Ryder actually felt like he was burning as he started screaming in pain. This was the pain he had never felt before. He actually believed he was going to die within a few seconds, but the fire also disappeared like magic.

As the fire disappeared, Ryder was left behind, weakly lying on the ground; his skin was severely burnt.

Just as he was hoping that his healing would much in, it didn’t happen. The pain lasted for a long time, but there was no healing. He couldn’t even move time back for some reason which made him lose whatever last bit of hope he had.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The ground seemed to be vibrating. Opening his eyes, Ryder noticed a stone giant coming towards him. The stone giant seemed to be ten feet tall and left massive. The closer it came, the bigger it seemed.

Soon, it was standing right before Ryder. It slowly raised its right foot and brought it above Ryder before he stomped down.

"Argh!"

Ryder sat up, holding his chest. His whole body was covered in sweat as he looked around.

"This was a dream! Just a dream!" He said as he tried to calm his heavy breathing. His heartbeat was racing.

He wiped his sweat and turned on the AC which he had forgotten to turn on before.

It was only after ten minutes that he felt like he was actually calm.

"Janus! Are you here?!" Ryder said, frowning.

"What?" He heard the voice of Janus.

" My dream! I just saw all the gods surrounding me for killing their sons. Don’t tell me it’s going to happen in real life. I didn’t think so far in the past, but they’ll certainly come for me since I killed their sons, won’t they? Aren’t I fcked?" Ryder asked, concerned.

"You aren’t. I’ll protect you when that time comes. But I don’t think they’ll be able to get to you. So it’s highly unlikely," Janus replied. "As long as we kill everyone on time."

"What you’ll protect me? What can you even do in front of so many gods? Don’t tell me that you’ll just run away, like in my dream? At least leave me Moon Scythe so I could try to protect myself," Ryder said, sighing.

"What are you even talking about? I won’t be alone if that ever happens, so you don’t have to worry about this," Janus replied since he believed when that day came, he wasn’t going to be standing alone. Instead, he’d be standing with Chaos.

"I hope so. I’ve already dug my grave deep by getting on the wrong side of the gods. I can only keep faith in you and go all the way," Ryder said, sighing.

"That’s right. Have faith," Janus replied before he stopped talking.

....

"Looks like that dream really scared him. Fortunately, he isn’t a coward; otherwise, he might have just quit."

Standing in the middle of the Sahara Desert, Janus was continuing his search for any trail of Lord of Space.

He had traveled half the countries already, but he didn’t find Lord of Space anywhere, but he didn’t give up.

...

Back in the hotel, Ryder had calmed down, but he didn’t feel like he could sleep anymore after the last dream that he saw.

Thus, instead of sleeping, he decided to watch a movie and relax a little.

He opened his phone and started playing the movie which had been released last year. It was an animated movie which was a part of the hit Kung Fu Octopus trilogy, about a boring octopus that was given a task to save the world by learning Kung Fu.

Ryder had seen the first part of the movie with his parents, which was released when he was just a kid. As for the second part, it was released five years ago. It was only now that the last part was released.

He had been thinking about seeing the movie for a long time but wasn’t getting time. Now that he had time and a reason, he decided to watch it.

He watched the two hour long movie. By the time he finished, he had completely forgotten about the dream he had.

He looked at the clock to notice that it was already morning by now. Instead of going back to sleep, he decided to get back to work.

He needed to find the person he was here for. Fortunately, he didn’t need to search for him as Janus had given him the address.

All he needed to do was to go there and assassinate him.

"How hard could it be compared to assassinating a prince?" He muttered as he stood up.

He got a shower and left the room after getting ready.

He didn’t bring out his car this time. Instead, he booked a cab and told the driver to escort him.

"Where do you want to go?" The can driver asked in Chinese.

Ryder told him the address which he had received.

"That place? Are you sure?’ the driver asked, seemingly stunned as he heard about the place.

"Yeah. Is something wrong with that place?’ Ryder asked after noticing the extreme reaction of the driver.

"I can’t go to that place. I can drop you near that place, as far as I can go," the driver said, still a bit hesitant. "Not only me, but I don’t think any driver will take you to that dangerous place.

"Dangerous place? What do you mean?" Ryder asked, curious.

" That place is the home or a terrifying clan. They are the rulers of the underworld here. That’s why everyone is scared to go there since the men of that clan had banned any vehicles from entering that area."

’ If anyone wants to enter that place, they must walk on foot, as long as he isn’t a member of their clan," the Driver said.

"Interesting. Underworld Clan, huh. So that’s where he stays. But it’s fine too. Now I can be even more heavy handed,’ he thought, smiling.

"It’s time. I accept it. Take me as far as you can take me. That’s alright. I’ll also pay you extra for taking the risk," Ryder told the driver, who was ecstatic to hear it.

He pressed his feet on the accelerator, driving the car on the well-made roads of the city.

Sitting in the car, Ryder kept looking out to see tall buildings everywhere.

" I must say, this place is really beautiful," he said, amazed.

Even though he was looking at normal buildings, but even they looked like tourist destinations because of their intriguing designs.
