Chapter 499: Control Of Divinity

The coffin slowly opened as a hand started crawling out of it, creepily. 

Ryder, completely unaware, looked in a different direction, not even knowing what was happening. He was just in thoughts as he tried to think what he could do. 

There were a lot of places he could search.

"I wish it's at least in the graveyard somewhere. If I had to dig outside, it'd be a mess, especially when the enemies are so strong. I did hunt a bit along the way and managed to get to level 220, but still, it's nothing before then," Ryder muttered as he rubbed his chin. 

He knew that he was getting stronger each day, but it still wasn't enough. It was only strong enough to be compared to the normal levels of the game.

In fact, he was already stronger than the Dragon that had killed him the first time in Divinity. 

Even after playing inside Divinity for two years, Ryder wasn't even a level 200 player. He was easily killed by a dragon. 

As for now, he had only played for a few months, and he was already stronger than that dragon. As for other players, most of them hadn't even reached level fifty. 

He was already walking in a different realm than the rest of the world. 

Despite being absurdly stronger than his fellow players, the people of this town were so strong that they could only be killed by him using tricks. He was like a player who had reached the middle stages of the game while others were stuck at the beginning. 

Moreover, he was placed in the end stages of the game for some reason. 

As he was immersed in his thoughts, the top of the coffin was completely open. 

A dried-up corpse could be seen inside the coffin that had sat up suddenly. A beautiful silver armor was on its chest that was slowly shining. 

The dried-up corpse gazed towards Ryder. 

....

"Maya, did you finish the task I gave you?"

In a certain lab, a young-looking man was standing before what seemed like a hologram of a young girl, asking him questions. 

"The task is finished. Everything is arranged," the hologram answered. 

"That's good. Finally, I have full control of half of that world. It was a good plan to use the people of this world as mana sources to tip the balance of that world," the young man muttered as a grin formed on his face. 

"The more that people joined from here, the more they grew, the weaker that world got. And the more I get control over it. Now finally, everything is in place. Surprisingly it was a bit faster than expected. Soon, I'll get full control, too," he let out as he rubbed his chin. 

"I guess I should thank this Lucifer and, more importantly, this Hades. The two of them proved to be dark horses. As for that, Alice, she is also pretty special. Her mana is off the charts, even breaking the balance of power I set."

"Tell me, did you find more about him? You told me you couldn't control his skills last time. Is the reason found?" the man asked Maya. 

"Not yet. I am unable to see him as well for a long time. As if something in that world is resisting me," Maya answered without much emotion on her face.

"Strange. The people of this world use our machine to connect to the server we made. Using that, we create a corporeal body in Divinity which they think is a game, not knowing it to be real. Even though we can't control a lot of things in that world, we can at least control a few things there."

"Regardless of that, since humans here use our servers to go there, we should have control over their corporeal bodies. Yet this Lucifer and Hades are out of our control. Let alone Lucifer; we can't even find the whereabouts of Hades? What's happening here," he rubbed his chin as he frowned. 

"This lack of uncontrol is concerning," the man muttered as he gazed at the face of Maya. 

What he didn't know was that the dark hand of Janus was at play here. Not only was he protecting Ryder secretly, but he was also using his powers to keep Ryder's hidden identity a secret from Necrosis as well. 

"Should I ban them from accessing Divinity?" Maya asked carelessly. 

"Are you an idiot?!" the young man couldn't help but scold the girl uncontrollably. "Why would I ever do such a thing?"

"These two people are helping my control increase in divinity. They're the biggest factor in decreasing the world's power and tipping the power dynamics in my favor. I can never block them. If I wanted to, I would have done so the day you told me you couldn't control his skills," the man explained. 

"What are my commands?" 

"None. Go back and do what you were doing," the man casually said as he waved his hand. Turning back, he started walking away. 

"Even though I can't block them, I still don't like things that aren't in my control. I need to find their identity. I guess I should move that thing forward. The live telecast of Divinity and its players. When they get the exclusive rights to telecast and the money, they'll come forward themselves."

...

Ryder finally turned back to place the Coffin back in the ground. It was enough time waste as he decided that standing here like stupid won't stop problems for him. 

He needed to act, even if it meant digging thousands of holes more. 

As he turned back, his mouth opened wide in surprise. His eyes did the same. 

"What the heck?" 

He finally found the Moon Armor, but this wasn't what he wanted to see it as. It was before his eyes, but that wasn't all. It was work by a corpse that was blinking its eyes while looking at Ryder. 

Ryder used All-Seer right away without delaying for even a second to know what he was dealing with. Was it actually someone from the undead region? 

A corpse? 

"Name: Unknown]

[Species: General Corpse]

[Artifacts: Moon Armor]

"Strange. There is not much about it. No level, no stats. Is this not a normal undead? And a Corpse General? Just what the heck was it?" Ryder was confused as he used the All-Seer. Instead of solving his questions, it raised even more.

He didn't remember hearing that term before. What was a Corpse General?

But at least one thing was confirmed. The Armor on its chest was the Moon Armor. 

All he needed to do was take it off, and he was done. 

But the question remained. Did that Corpse have any strength? He couldn't see any level for it. So he could only hope that it was a useless corpse. But if he was wrong, he was going to be in danger. 

"Whatever! I can only take a bit of risk. Even if it's not weak, what's the worse that can happen. I have healing. I have traveled back in time, and I have moon scythe. Why am I even worried?" Ryder let out as he brought the Moon Scythe out of his inventory. 

....

Far away from the Death Domain, Rale was standing in a room, tired. He had just finished his training, and now he was taking a bit of rest. 

He was just about to sit down when his aura became unstable. A bracelet in his hand was shaking uncontrollably. His ring and other artifacts also did the same. 

"It's the effect of that thing. It means he must be in danger," Rale let out as he started running out of the hall. 

He ran as fast as he could as he left the Royal Palace. 

No one even understood why Rale was in such a hurry. What could have shaken him so much? 

While others were confused after seeing a glimpse of Rale, he had already left the Royal Palace as he shot straight towards the Palace of High Duke Oris; he reached there within the blink of an eye. 

The guards of High Duke's Palace tried to stop Rale to ask why he was here. Even though Rale's position was high, they still needed to do their job properly. 

Unfortunately for them, Rale didn't seem like he was in a mood to stop. 

With a flick of his hand, he made the guards fly to the side as he pushed the door open and stepped inside. 

"High Duke Oris! Come out right now!"

He kept screaming as he moved through the Palace in haste to find High Duke.

"Rale? What happened to you?" High Duke Oris soon appeared near Rale. 

His daughter followed behind him. 

"Is there a problem?" High Duke asked. 

"He is in danger! He is in danger!"

Rale repeated his sentence as he showed the treasure that was telling him that Ryder's life was in danger. 

"Hmm?" Seeing that, even the High Duke seemed worried.
