Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 334: Breaking News

"Let me show you the Wrath of a real King," The Thirteenth King said as he glared at Ryder, who was flying above.

Ryder could see his guns lying on the ground near the helicopter, but he didn’t have time to pick the guns up. He also didn’t bother with getting the guns back. He had a few more guns in his inventory.

Ryder opened his Inventory and brought two more guns out. One of these two guns was a special gun that he had purchased from the System Store previously, which didn’t need any reload of bullets.

"You want action; I’ll give you action," Ryder muttered as he flew even higher to create even more distance from the Thirteenth King.

"Janus, little bro. I know you don’t help me much outside the missions but can you at least help me with your knowledge?" Ryder inquired.

"Just tell me if I have any chance of winning and gaining experience," he continued.

[The chances to win this battle? You have none]

Janus straight away crushed Ryder’s hopes.

"You idiot, can’t you motivate me, at least?" Ryder let out as he smiled wryly. The only way he was getting out of this fight was by dying, and he wanted to get all the answers he could before dying. He still had some hopes of winning before they were all crushed by Janus.

[You want me to lie?]

Janus asked in a curious voice.

"At Least don’t crush my hopes so brutally, you idiot," Ryder replied as he smiled wryly.

[Your chances of winning? They’re a hundred percent. You’ll win this fight and all other fights here]

Janus listened to Ryder and lied.

"Even though I know that it’s a lie that I told you to say, that still gives me some motivation to fight," Ryder muttered as he shook his head.

He was fifty meters above the Thirteenth King when he finally stopped going upwards.

Somewhere in the South Block of the city, a news helicopter was going towards a blast location to capture some footage.

"This day is so brutal. So many people died. I never expected I’ll be spending the day shooting thousands of dead bodies and the destruction," The Reporter who was sitting inside the helicopter muttered.

"Me too. This day was so unexpected. I just hope I don’t vomit at the sight of all that blood," the cameraman muttered. He was sitting near the female reporter. He stood up as he stretched out his arms.

He walked towards the door of the helicopter to get some fresh air. He looked outside.

"Hmm? What’s that?" He suddenly exclaimed as he noticed something in the air some distance away from him.

"What the heck? Is a person flying? How is that possible? Man, it looks like I’m already starting to get some hallucinations because of tension," the man muttered as he sighed.

"What are you talking about?" The News Reporter asked the cameraman as she stood up.

"Nothing. I’m just hallucinating a little. I see a man flying in the air in front of me. Man, even my hallucination is strange. If I’m going to imagine humans flying, at least give them wings," the man muttered as he sighed.

"A man flying? I guess you really are hallucinating. Come back and rest a little," the news reporter told the cameraman as she walked towards him.

She placed her hands on his shoulder as she looked outside.

"See? No one is the-" She was just about to say that no one was Flying when she suddenly stopped. She could see a man flying some distance as well.

The man was wearing what seemed like a tuxedo that was split in places. The man seemed to be in his early twenties. The man was looking down towards a building.

She looked in the direction he was looking at and saw a damaged helicopter on top of a building. A few people were standing near the helicopter on the building.

"I know, I know. There’s no one there. I’m just a little tired, and I’m seeing things. You don’t have to mock me now," the cameraman said with an embarrassed smile on his face as he walked back.

"N-no!You aren’t hallucinating. I see the same thing. It can’t be that the two of us are hallucinating the same thing. No matter how strange, but that seems to be the truth," the Reporter said with a blank look on her face.

"Stand up and come back!" she told the cameraman.

The Cameraman was shocked to know that she was seeing the same thing. He hurriedly stood up and walked towards her.

" Look there and tell me what you see. If you’re seeing the same thing that it’s the truth! These things are happening! Hurry, tell me what you see," The Reporter told the cameraman as she pointed towards the building where she saw a few people standing.

"I see a helicopter there. There are seven people standing there, looking up towards the man who is flying in the sky!" the Cameraman said.

"You’re exactly right! This is really happening. Open the camera and start recording. I’ll contact the head office. If they see what we’re seeing in the video as well, we can go with this as a live telecast! This can be breaking news! Blasts all around the city, appearance of the flying humans. Is this the dawn of evolution or the dawn of destruction?" The Reporter exclaimed as she hurriedly ran inside. She got her phone out of the bag and called her head.

"Are you an idiot? What the hell are you talking about? Flying humans? Have you lost all your sanity?"

The female reporter had just explained everything to her boss. Just as she expected, her boss didn’t believe a single word she was saying. Instead, he called her crazy and many more names. She was already prepared for that, and she didn’t feel angry. If she were in her boss’s position, she would’ve reacted in a similar way. Flying Humans? That sounded preposterous! Not a single sane person was going to believe it after all.

"Sir, please listen to me. I’m not the only one who’s seeing this. I know how preposterous it sounds, and believe me, I wouldn’t have called you if I wasn’t sure if it. You can see the live footage from our camera. If you see what we can see, you can broadcast it live! Just think of the commotion we’ll cause if we showed this. Our TRP would jump through the roof," the girl said with a fawning smile on her face even though she knew that the boss couldn’t see her.
