Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 133

Ryder's expressions turned grave as he heard the mission.
'A terrorist is in this place?'
"Where can I find him in such a big place?" Ryder muttered with a frown on his face.
"Find who? Are you looking for someone?" Esmi asked as she looked at him curiously.
"Ah, no one," Ryder replied, shaking his head.
'There's no clue other than the fact that it's a guy and that the bomb will kill thousands of people. A bomb that kills thousands of people? If I was the terrorist, where would I plant the bomb to kill thousands of people?' Ryder thought as he looked around the Amusement Park.
"There are so many places like this here. If I'm not wrong, at least five places are popular enough to have that many people," Ryder muttered.
"Let's go to the WaterFall mountain," Ryder told Esmi as he started walking towards a specific direction.
Waterfall Mountain was the closest attraction to them that was this famous. It was a mountain that was artificially made, and the most attractive thing about this place was that the waterfall of this mountain wasn't a waterfall but a Chocolate Milk fall. It attracted people to see that from far and wide.
Even though the water was replaced with chocolate milk, no one was allowed to drink it or even touch it themselves. Every person that arrived here was served a glass of chocolate milk from the waterfall by the authorities.
Ryder entered the Waterfall Mountain.
'Janus, what does it mean that I have two tries?'
"It means you can cheat only once to complete this mission," Janus said.
' Cheat? What does that mean?' Ryder asked with a frown on his face. Janus didn't reply.
Ryder could see thousands of people there who seemed to be having a picnic there.

He carefully observed everyone to find if there was any suspicious person there or not.
"Is there anything worrying you? You seem nervous, suddenly?" Esmi asked him. She could feel that something was wrong.
"I found out that there is a terrorist in this amusement park, and he will plant a bomb that will kill thousands of people. We have to find him at any cost," Ryder said to her.
"A terrorist? How do you know?" Esmi asked in shock.
"I can't tell you how I know, but it's definitely going to happen. We need to find him at all cost," Ryder told her.
"I'll believe you, but I'll definitely ask you how you know after we deal with this thing. Also, How about we separate? We can cover more areas?" Esmi asked.
Ryder agreed to her suggestion.
"You can check the Delish Plaza. It is also very crowded, and it might be his target,"
"Alright. I'll go there and check more places after that. Do you know anything else about that terrorist that could help identify him?" Esmi inquired.
"I don't. I only know that he should be a man," Ryder said as he shook his head.
Esmi sighed as she turned away.
"I'll try to do my best to find him. I think I have a good eye to see criminals," she said as she started walking away.
Ryder and Esmi both searched on their own as they kept going through various attractions of the sect.
They kept searching but without any result. 55 minutes passed away, but Ryder didn't find anything.
He was starting to get nervous as he watched the time trickle away on his watch.
His phone started ringing. It was Esmi on the phone.
"Did you find him?" He asked as soon as he picked up the phone.

The time on his watch changed from 10:59:59 to 11:00:00.
It was precisely 11 am in the morning when Ryder heard a loud blast. He listened to the explosion from his surroundings as well as from the phone.
The loud noise from the phone made it seem as if Esmi was standing right beside the bomb.
*Beeeeeeee*
He heard a screeching noise in his right ear because of hearing the loud sound from the phone.
He saw a big cloud of smoke rise in the air at some distance.
"Esmi? Esmi, answer me? Are you alright?" He asked as he ran towards the location of the blast.
People were running and screaming everywhere, but he didn't hear Esmi's voice through the phone.
Instead, he received a recorded message that the phone has been disconnected.
"God Dammit!" He roared in anger.
He decided to use his power to turn back the time by 40 minutes. He was hoping to solve the problem as he already knew the location of the blast. This way, Esmi would be alive as well.
The time was rewinded by 40 minutes, and Ryder found himself back in the Waterfall Mountain.
"Whoever you are, you will regret messing with people close to me," Ryder muttered as he ran towards the place where the blast had occurred.
The blast happened near a place called Spinster. It was one of the tallest rides in this place. The ride could fit 300 people at once, but the crowd around it was definitely in thousands.
Ryder reached near the Spinster and started looking for the person that could be the terrorist.
There were still 30 minutes left before the actual blast, so Ryder only hoped that the bomb wasn't set up yet.
'If the bomb was already set up, I wouldn't have received this mission so late. There must be a way to catch that guy,' Ryder thought as he looked around.
He walked through the crowd and after some time, he saw a suspicious man. The man was wearing a long hoodie. There was a traveler bag in his hand that was way bigger than what an average person would carry.
"Is that guy the terrorist? How can the security allow this bag and the items of a bomb?" he muttered.
He started following that man as he acted casual.
The man sat on a bench nearby and kept the bag near him.
He sat for only 5 minutes as he casually checked on his phone before he stood up and started walking away.
As Ryder watched the man walk away, he was 99 percent sure that this man was the bomber.
The man walked away, but he left his bag behind.

The Chronicles of Artharian Dagworth
Back in 2020 there were many theories on how the world would end. From the many religions apocalypses, nuclear wars that would leave the planet inhabitable, global warming doing the same, biological weapons getting out of control, viruses mutating into unstoppable diseases to the dead raising to prey on humanity, either due to a virus or just because hell filled up. Also, aliens, from the war mongering kind to the ones so advanced they didn’t see us as more than worms. And of course there was the fail proof theory that the world would end when the sun died. In a bunch of billion years give or take. Althougth some new scientist were discussing if the end would be on the take side, since when the sun started dying things would go haywire on the entire solar system and we would collide with mercury or maybe mars way before the expanding sun engulfed earth. But I digress… Now, those were the mainstream theories that the everyday Joe, who didn’t know the big secret, worried about. So, if you were to ask me which theory was correct I can tell you that I haven’t seen any little green man, at least not from another planet, and so far the sun is still shining, although it’s been only 9 years since everything went to hell, not the few billions (give or take) the scientist predicted, so that one isn’t ruled out yet. These two aside, I'd say all of them. Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at writing. I have been planning to do it for a really long time, and while this is not the one epic fantasy idea I ever wanted to write, I think it's a good one. The plan is to write an end of the world urban-fantasy series. Think a world like Dresden Files, Alex Verus, Iron druid, where magic is real but exist hidden from society meets the apocalypse. It will be written in first person in the Dresden Files style, no plans for other POV for now. As you probally alredy guessed from my style, english is not my first langague, so while google corrector helps, expect grammar errors, and I'd be gratefull for anyone to point them. I plan to write 2 to 3 chapters a week, 2000-4000 words each. Might change as I get more experience and depends on my free time. Cover image from the colections of getwallpapers.com
