"You play with this toy too?" Itsuki asked as he noticed the Divinity Glasses in Ryder’s hands.

"Yeah. I use them for something important. Anyway, you won’t understand," Ryder responded. "Anyway, it’s weird seeing you as a girl now that you told me you’re a boy. Can you get in the turn of a guy?"

"Hahaha, I wish I could. It’s not fun for me either. But I can’t change forms. I can only create an illusion for you if you want. Others will still see me as a woman, but you’ll see me as a guy? How’s that?"

"That’s better. Cast the illusion of yourself, so I see you as a guy," Ryder agreed.

Itsuki did as Ryder said, and soon, Ryder found him looking like a guy.

"Now it’s better. Anyway, I’m going to rest. I’ll wake up by the time we get there. Also, if you want to attack me when I’m out cold, you can try. You have my permission."

Laughing, Ryder adjusted his seat as he wore the Divinity Glasses.

"Take me to Divinity," he muttered. The connection was established, and soon, Ryder found himself in the world of Divinity.

He was back in the Royal Palace. It had been quite some time since he last came here. In fact, he had barely shown himself after his Coronation was done.

The happy occasion which was attended by the strongest of beings in Divinity was over without any problem. Even the Prince of Death Domain had attended, with one Death Envoy.

After the coronation, they all went back. Since then, Ryder has had a lot of freedom. He wanted to go to the human realm in Divinity and establish a guild, but because of the real world stuff, he hadn’t been able to achieve it.

"Your Majesty, finally you came! Where were you? So many people came to meet you. We had to give excuses to all of them to send them away. Even High Dukes came to meet you!"

As soon as Ryder left the Royal bedroom, he was caught by Miku, who shot tens of questions as she informed him what had happened in his absence.

"Don’t worry. I just went out to have a little walk. Now that I’m back, I’ll handle everything," Ryder replied as he brought out the Moon Scythe.

He started walking towards the exit of the Royal Palace without wasting even a second.

Seeing Ryder in such a hurry, Miku felt like something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, is something wrong? You look serious?" Miku asked.

That also happened to be the moment when Ryder noticed Rale in the distance. Rale also saw Ryder.

"Your Majesty, you are back!" Rale let out as he greeted Ryder by going to his knees.

"Stand up. Didn’t I tell you that you don’t have to do such nonsense?" Ryder let out, smiling wryly. " Where’s Miyali?"

"She’s in the training room, practicing with the Royal Guards. Do you want to meet her?" Rale inquired, curious.

"Nope. I want to do something else instead. Are you coming with me?" Ryder inquired. "We have business in the Royal City."

"Of course. I’ll go wherever you go," Rale responded.

The two of them left the Royal Palace. Ryder seemed to be flying towards the crowded part of the city where the market was established. Rale followed behind him, curious what was happening. Ryder seemed a bit serious.

Ryder soon reached the market and landed on the ground.

Seeing the new King in the Market, all the people got down on one knee in respect.

"Long Live Your Majesty!" They shouted in unison.

Unlike before, Ryder didn’t tell them to stand up. Instead, he looked around as if he was looking for someone.

"There you are..." He suddenly muttered as he walked towards a specific person.

After a few steps, he stopped. The person who was before him was also on his knees like the other people. He was also wearing a hood which was making it impossible for his face to be seen.

"Rank Five Beming, don’t tell me you really thought you could infiltrate this place without getting stopped," Ryder told the man who was looking down.

As soon as the man heard these words, his face twitched. It seemed like he was caught. And for the person to know his rank, it must be a player too, he thought.

"Support me. We can win the trial together. I’ll share half the money," the man said, still not raiding his head.

"If I were interested in money, I would have taken part in the trial instead. It would have been much easier. But you came to kill someone who was close to me. I don’t enjoy that, so you need to die," Ryder answered calmly.

"Then you die first!" Beming suddenly yelled as he raised his head while throwing three knives at Ryder. Unfortunately, Ryder’s robe acted up, creating a barrier around him that took care of the knives.

"You really thought it’d work, didn’t you?" Ryder asked, sighing.

"That Scythe? You are Hades?" Beming exclaimed as he recognized Ryder. It was said that Hades used the Moon Scythe as his weapon? What was happening? The strongest player was here to obstruct him? Why did he want to?

Thousands of questions were in his mind, but before he could get to a single answer, the Moon Scythe flashed before his eyes, taking him out.

Beming was killed, and simultaneously, he was out of the billion dollar race.

"Your Majesty? Who was he?" Rale asked Ryder.

"An insignificant ant. According to my sources, someone had infiltrated the Demon Realm to kill Miyali. And he was that person. I don’t know why some people want Miyali dead, but I want you to keep her safe. You understand?" Ryder asked, frowning.

"I’ll take care of that, Your Majesty. You don’t have to worry," Rale answered.

"That’s better. Let’s go back then." Ryder nodded as he turned back.

"My dear Demon Realm citizens. You may stand. As you just saw, that’s what happens to the person who tries to infiltrate our land to harm our citizens! Your King and the others are here for you! We’ll never let any harm come to our citizens!" Ryder declared proudly as he addressed the citizens that were still on their knees.

All the citizens started cheering for Ryder as they stood up. Amidst the loud cheer, Ryder left.

Ryder and Rale soon reached the Royal Palace and entered.

"Rale, I also want you to do one more thing," Ryder suddenly said as he walked over to the throne room.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I want you to send a person to the Vampire King in the undead region. Tell him that someone wants his niece dead according to our information and that he should be careful," Ryder said.

"Someone wants Vampire King’s niece dead? And someone wants Miyali dead? Why are people after insignificant people?" Rale asked, frowning.

"I wish I knew. The only thing I can think of is the Chaos it’ll cause because the ones that want to kill are not actually insignificant as they are related to very significant people," Ryder answered.

"

"Ah, while you’re at it, send some more messages from me to other places too." He further said as he schemed to create trouble for Necrosis by obstructing their trials.

He told Rale about all the trials that were given to the players in the billion dollar competition. He wanted to warn all the targets, so they knew what was coming.

"It shall be done," Rale nodded. "I’ll oversee it personally."

"That’s better. Anyway, I’ll take my leave now. I’ll meet you later."

Ryder stood up, ready to leave.

"Your Majesty, it’s not the night. Are you really going to sleep? Is your health alright?" Rale asked, concerned. He still didn’t know Ryder was from a different realm and that he didn’t go to sleep in a treasure, but he left this world.

"I’m perfectly fine. Don’t worry, I’ll soon be back, and we’ll go on more adventures," Ryder told Rale before he disappeared. Only his last words were left behind.

Ryder woke up in the real world and took off the Divinity Glasses. As he looked around, he was surprised to see that Itsuki actually hadn’t attacked him. It looked like Itsuki passed the test. He really trusted Ryder.

Not only had he not attacked Ryder, but he was also sleeping.

’It is such a perfect opportunity to kill him. He really is helpless,’ Ryder thought as an idea crossed his mind. Could he really miss such a good opportunity?

He stopped up and started walking towards Itsuki.

...

Back in the Necrosis, Ion was looking at how the trials of the players were going. Millions of people were watching them too.

But there was a lot of chaos online as people were shocked by the surprising appearance of Hades in Beming’s feed. Hades had actually appeared.

Not only the viewers, but even Ion was frowning. He wasn’t shocked by the appearance, though. Instead, his mind was on the Scythe of Hades.

"That Scythe, I didn’t notice it before, but it looks the same?"

"Maya! Bring forth the footage of Ryder on the roof with Itsuki fast!"
