"It's fine though. Whatever happened doesn't matter anymore. All's well that end's well," Ryder said, nodding. 

Everything was finally over. And all of his enemies were dead. Now all he needed to do was to stop getting involved in things like this and hide from the gods who might come after him. 

"Janus, I'm actually done, right? No other god-sons to take care of?" he asked Janus. 

"None. This should be enough for your physique and for his arrival," Janus answered.

"Whose arrival?' Ryder asked, surprised. 

Janus didn't answer the question. Instead, he remained silent. He knew that there was one more god-son left, but he didn't care about that. They already received enough of Divine Aura to get what they wanted. There wasn't a need for more. 

...

Ryder reached the hotel where Alice was staying. 

"Get ready. We're going out," he told Alice as soon as he got to the hotel. He was really in a good mood today and just wanted to enjoy. 

The two of them got ready and left the hotel, taking a trip of the whole city and seeing all the tourist places that they could. 

As they were touring the city, they even saw the FBI headquarters, which reminded Ryder of what had happened in the past and about Ray. 

"Maya, do me another favor. Hack the FBI servers and find anything regarding me. Is there anything about me there? I wonder if they have even a single lead about me," Ryder commanded Maya while Alice had gone to buy ice cream. 

"They have files about you, but nothing significant," Maya answered. "It's similar to what they have about all other citizens," Maya replied. 

"That's good. No need to worry then," Ryder let out, nodding. 

Alice returned with two ice creams in her hand. She gave one to Ryder while sitting near him. 

They continued their trip and came back in the night. The flight back was in the morning the next day. 

...

After enjoying a good night's sleep, the two of them woke up.

They got prepared and left the hotel. They went to the airport and got on a flight to come back. The flight took off from the airport. 

...

As the flight landed in their home city, they went back to the Maxwell Estate. 

The whole place seemed to have returned to normal by now. New staff was hired as well. Security was also back to normal. 

Entering the mansion, Ryder could see Shu sitting on the sofa, watching the news, which was talking about the plunging stock prices of Necrosis. 

Divinity had been down for over twenty-four hours, but there was no update about when it was going to return. The members of the company had kept their silence. No one was commenting on what was happening, but everyone knew that something big had happened. 

There were even rumors that some Hackers had messed with the Divinity and brought it down. All people knew for sure was that the excuse of Server maintenance was a lie. 

"Ah, you two are back. Welcome," Shu told Ryder, standing up. "Did you two see what happened to Necrosis? I think something big is going on."

"I think the same. I don't think Divinity will ever return. And with that, Necrosis will disappear again. Isn't it good that you didn't buy that company?" Ryder let out, smiling. 

"That's true, but with that, a great game also disappeared forever. I really wanted to have that Guild of ours. But it looks like there's a chance we might never have that," Shu commented. 

"That's true as well. But I think this is all for the best. It's better for everyone if we all stayed away from Divinity," Ryder said. 

He turned to Alice. "You can go to the room and rest. I'll stay here with Shu."

Alice nodded as she left. 

"So, do you know what happened to them?" Shu asked Ryder as they both sat on the couch. 

"Why do you think I would?" 

"Because you prevented Alice from taking part in their competition. And after a few days, the entire Divinity went down. Did you really have no idea?" Shu asked, laughing. 

"You might be right actually. I did have a hand in it. All I can tell you is that Divinity will never see the light of day again. It's over forever," Ryder replied.

"How did you do it?" Shu inquired. 

"I won't go into the technicalities, but the system they used is destroyed. And I don't think they can ever make it again. So they're gone forever," Ryder answered. 

"Did you find what was wrong about them? What were they trying to do?" Shu inquired. 

" Something certainly was going on there. As for what, it's somewhat hard to explain. Anyway, enough about Necrosis. Aren't you glad that Dream Corporation can now rise even more? With Necrosis gone, your company will grow faster," Ryder pointed out, changing the topic. 

"It's already happening. Since the news of Necrosis entering the defense field spread, our stock prices were falling. It was clear the government was optimistic about Necrosis. Now that it's gone, we have already started rising. Just today alone, our stocks are trading twelve percent higher," Shu pointed out, laughing. 

"On a different note, I've been thinking about opening a branch to focus on similar fully immersive VRMMO. Even if Necrosis will fall, I'll still buy them right when they're on the verge of bankruptcy. It should help us," he further added. 

"Maybe one day our dream of opening a Guild would become true."

"I'm sure it will," Ryder replied. "Anyway, I'll also go and get fresh. See you at the dinner table."

Standing up, Ryder also went upstairs. He entered his room and straight went to take a shower. 

He spent over thirty minutes in the shower before he left the place. 

He got dressed and jumped straight on the bed with his phone in his hand to give rest to his tired body. 

As he laid on the bed, he kept scrolling through his phone to see the latest news related to the places he had visited. 

"Maya, can you try to delete the footage which shows me in other countries? Let's just remove all evidence for the sake of it," he told Maya. 

"It's done," Maya instantly replied. 

"That was fast. You're pretty overpowered," Ryder said, laughing. 

"This wasn't hard," Maya responded. 

"Alright. Do one more thing then. I want you to release a rumor on the net. Make sure everyone sees that rumor. Alright?" Ryder asked. 

"What rumor?" Maya inquired. 

Ryder smirked as he said something. Maya nodded in response. 

"Done. Everyone on the internet will see that," she said after a few minutes. 

"We should see the effects soon then," Ryder said as he opened the site, which showed the stock information of companies. 

He had also went public as his company had grown considerably. But he believed that today was going to be slightly different. 

As he watched the information about his company, he smiled. His stock prices were rising too high. Every time he refreshed, he saw a higher number. 

"Just perfect. Now it's time to grow the company even more. Let's take over everything," Ryder smiled. 

"Arrange a meeting with Itsuki Corporation," he told Maya. " If we play our cards just right, we can take over Itsuki Corporation. At the same time, we can also grow even more. Oh, right, find me the signature that Itsuki used. I want a copy of that."

"It's time we talked to the fake Itsuki," he added as he kept the phone on the side, preparing for the next part of his plan. "Within one month, I'll make sure Divine Corporate is inside the top five companies of the world."

"Completed," Maya responded. "I managed to slip it inside their system. The meeting will be tomorrow at two."

"That's good. Do one more thing for me while you're at it," Ryder said. 

"What thing?" Maya inquired. 

"Order pizzas for all of us. Let's have a pizza party. I'm craving some fast food. Order some cold drinks too," Ryder answered. 

As he had Maya now, he believed his life had become so much easier. This was truly the best assistant a person could have. If he wanted to, he believed he could even hack the World Bank and get all the money for himself, but he didn't. 

After he finished giving her all the commands, he closed his eyes. 

"Wake me up when the pizza gets here. I'll take a short nap."

....

Ryder was sleeping in peace, but there was someone who wasn't at peace at all. 

It was the God of War. As his son Draco had the Conversation Crystal, they talked almost every other day. 

Today was the day they were supposed to talk again, but he couldn't contact his son at all. 

He found it really strange. This never happened. He started to get worried about his son, wondering why he wasn't able to contact him. What happened?
