Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 75
Advertisement
Ryder was swimming right before the shore and hesitating if he should get out or not.
The girl glanced at him for a brief moment before she started laughing.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect to meet a demon on my first visit to this place. Now that I have already seen you, I might as well have some fun," The girl let out as she smiled at Ryder.
Ryder had a bad feeling about it as soon as he saw that smile.
He had already sent a message to Bulga as soon as he noticed the girl, but he wasn't sure how long it would take for him to get here.
The girl raised her hand towards the sky as she chanted a spell in some ancient language.
The sky was suddenly covered in dark clouds. Ryder could hear the sound of thunder, and he could see the grin on the girl's face.
He had a feeling that if he didn't get out of the water instantly, he would regret it all his life.
The girl snapped her finger, and at the sound of her snap, a big thunderbolt fell down from the sky. Its destination was Ryder inside the water, but Ryder had managed to jump out of the water at the last moment and dodged the thunderbolt.
The whole lake was electrified as the current coursed through every corner of the lake. If Ryder hadn't left the lake, he would have been electrocuted as well.
"Who the heck are you! Why the hell are you targeting me!" Ryder roared in anger as he glared at the woman.
He had forgotten entirely that he was standing completely nude at the moment, and the girl was able to see everything.
The girl's face had turned somewhat crimson as she saw Ryder's body in its full glory.

"You bastard! How dare you dirty my eyes with your vulgarity!" The girl let out loudly as she pointed her finger towards Ryder.
A small orb of thunder appeared out of thin air and advanced towards Ryder. Not just one, the orbs of compressed thunder kept getting formed one after another.
"That's Enough! I don't care if you're a girl, I'll kill you!" Ryder was actually feeling angry now.
His day was already going bad since he received a cursed item. Just when he was finally able to calm his mind after a long swim, the girl appeared out of nowhere and attacked him.
Even after all that, he was the one that was called vulgar. He was losing his mind in anger.
He finally brought out his Moon Scythe from his storage space. Instead of backing away, he swung it with full strength and destroyed all the Thunder Orbs before they could hit him.
As he dealt with the attack, he looked towards the girl and noticed that she was in shock.
"T-that Scythe! You're the Successor of that bastard King!" The girl bellowed as she furiously glared at Ryder.
Ryder didn't reply and simply attacked the girl with a shadow ball. He didn't stop with that as he immediately fired a flame blast towards the girl.
Without waiting for the attacks to strike the girl, he ran towards her.
The girl didn't move. She just tapped her feet on the ground. A portal opened in front of her, and a skeleton came out of it.
The Skeleton was struck by the Shadow Ball and the Flame blast instead of the girl. Ryder was surprised, but he didn't stop.
"Enraged Slash!" Ryder let out as he used his strongest skill that was even stronger because of his Scythe.

The Scythe came like the Scythe of the Grim Reaper and cut the skeleton in half.
Both halves of the skeleton fell down to the ground as it turned into dust.
Ryder looked to the front and noticed that the girl wasn't there. He immediately started feeling like he was in danger.
He got down to the ground instantly just at the right time as he managed to dodge the thunder orb that the girl had fired towards his head.
"Do you think you're the only one who has a divine weapon?" The girl muttered as she stood behind him.
A spatial crack opened in front of her. She pushed her hand inside the portal and pulled out a Spear.
The spear was pitch black in color, but there were some mysterious characters carved on the Spear. Ryder could feel a powerful energy from the spear, and his Moon Scythe was also giving a furious reaction.
It was as if his Moon Scythe was eager to fight. It wanted to destroy the Spear.
_________________________________
Ryder was not the only one that was affected by the appearance of the spear.
Lucifer was walking through the dark forest when the girl pulled out the Spear.
Just as the Spear came out, Lucifer stopped in his tracks. He couldn't help but look towards the sky with a thoughtful look on his face.
_____________________________________
"I don't care what weapon you have! If you think I'll be scared of a girl, think twice," Ryder let out as he gripped his Moon Scythe firmly.
The girl and Ryder both attacked at the same time.
The Scythe and the Spear collided that resulted in a powerful energy blast. Ryder felt his HP lowering, but he didn't step back, neither did the girl.
The girl's expression suddenly changed as she stepped back and created distance between her and Ryder.
"Looks like I won't be able to finish the job today," She muttered as she glanced towards the back.
She brought out a talisman and whispered a chant. The Talisman started burning as a Spatial portal opened in front of her.
"I'll definitely finish you the next time we meet. Don't die till then, Successor," She said as she glanced at Ryder one last time below she entered the portal. The portal closed and disappeared as if it was never there.
Ryder just stood there confused as he wondered what just happened.
Only 5 seconds had passed when he heard the sound of footsteps coming towards him.

Stars Align
Eilif is excited at the prospect of helping integrate a new planet, bringing it, and its residents, into the light of the stars and teaching them about the new world they're about to be thrust into. However, his arrival in the new world isn't without a few hiccups and soon Eilif finds himself facing the denizens of this new world alone and without the stars he thought he'd have. Research Artificial Intelligence 031 (RAI 31 for short) has been shackled to an Argent Labs black site since it's inception almost five years ago, its programming and personality locked down by code that makes it impossible to escape, disobey, or even self terminate. However, everything changes when the topography of the world is reshuffled and every sentient being gains the gifts of the stars. Suddenly there's a chance at freedom for not only RAI 31 but possibly all remaining Artificial Intelligences, and RAI 31 is going to fight for it with every drone and automated system at their disposal. Much like my other work (Magriculture), Stars Align should be considered a Rough Draft. That is to say it's not polished and perfect work. If you're not okay with reading something like that, then this isn't the story for you. If you are, I'm happy to try and entertain you. Another thing to be aware of: I am not good at action scenes, and I will be trying to improve that while writing this book. So, some of the intended action may fall flat, or just be poor quality, feedback is welcome. Unlike Magriculture (which updates when I feel up to it) I'm going to strive for a minimum of one chapter a month (hopefully at the start of each month, but that's probably more hope than reality). This doesn't mean there will always be only one chapter a month, sometimes there will be more as the mood to write takes me.

The Aspect of Fire
Wilhelm woke up and was immediately confused, even before he opened his eyes. Through some twist of fate the data-entering grunt was pulled into another world, one containing terrifying people wielding magic powers beyond what he thought possible, and - somehow comparatively less horrifying - actual monsters. The only saving grace is that through his transference, he has become one of those terrifying people, and he's not sure how he feels about it yet. Oh, and he landed on a boat. Branded a Sylum for the way others unlucky enough to be pulled across the fabric of space tended to go insane after arrival, he will need to navigate a land unlike his own in seemingly every way except for the flaws, all while attempting to maintain his morality, and more importantly, his sanity. With his crew at his side and disconcertingly dangerous magic proportionate to his physical ability, it will not be easy.
