Even Shu and Alice woke up from their sleep. The two of them stepped out of their individual rooms.
They didn’t find Ryder there, which made them concerned
" Is that guy still sleeping?" Shu asked, running towards Ryder’s room to wake him up.
"It’s locked. He’s still inside!" Shu exclaimed, noticing the door locked.
"Ryder! Wake up!" Shu exclaimed, yelling out loud.
He kept calling out to Ryder as the shaking of the hotel intensified, but he didn’t receive a response.
"Sir, we need to leave. Staying here is dangerous!" The guards of Shu reminded him as the ground started shaking.
"I know. Break this door! I can’t leave him behind!" Shu commanded his guard.
"Please step back," the guard informed Shu before he stepped closer to the door.
Shu stepped back and let his guards use a pin to open the lock of the door. He was talented in such things.
As the doors opened, the guard stepped inside with Shu and Alice.
"Ah, sir. I don’t think anyone is here," the guard replied after checking every place.
"Strange. Where did he go?" Shu muttered, confused.
He walked over to the open window, looking outside.
"Maybe he left already because of the earthquake?" The guard replied. "We should hurry too! It’s really risky!"
"He wouldn’t go, leaving us behind because of the earthquake. It can only mean that he left before the earthquake. But where would he go so late at night?" Shu asked, confused.
"Ah, I have no idea, sir. But if we don’t leave now, it might be too late soon! We need to stay alive to find him! Come!" The guard took Shu and Alice with him outside the hotel. They went to a place far away from the buildings that had the risk of falling.
Even when outside, Shu was still confused. He couldn’t understand why Ryder would leave so late? Moreover, this earthquake... Why was it lasting so long?
Generally, earthquakes didn’t last for more than a minute, but it had been over ten minutes, and the earthquake was still going strong for some reason.
Just as everyone was wondering about what was happening, they saw a bright white beam shooting towards the sky from an unknown location.
Since they were all inside the city, none of them knew where that white beam of light exactly came from, but they realized that it was coming from the direction of the Pyramid.
"Is it the Apocalypse?!" Alice asked, remembering about the stories she had heard.
Their guide had told them about a story related to the Pyramid as they were coming back. He said that there was one more rumor that existed related to the Pyramid.
The first rumor was that bodies of gods remained inside the Pyramid. The second rumor was that one day, when the gods Awakened, an apocalypse was going to descend on earth, highlighted by a godly light going up, attacking the heaven.
She had a vague idea about those words but what happened just now seemed similar to that. The earth was shaking like never before, and a mysterious white light shot towards the sky for some reason.
....
Inside the Pyramid, even Ryder was facing the earthquake, but he didn’t realize that it wasn’t an ordinary earthquake and that the entire world was engulfed in this earthquake.
Because of the powerful earthquake, hundreds of buildings came crashing down. There was destruction and devastation everywhere. Cracks appeared on the ground in many nations as if the earth had started splitting apart.
Unfortunately, one of the buildings that came crashing down was the headquarters of Ryder. The head office of the Divine Corporation came crashing down.
Everything inside the building was destroyed, including all the machines that they had bought. All the systems were destroyed as well.
In essence, Ryder’s company was almost over, as was his dream of becoming the wealthiest person on earth based on his past world knowledge, at least for now.
Unaware of what was happening outside, Ryder was looking at the center of the pyramid where a small opening had appeared in the ground. From that place, a white beam of light was shooting towards the sky.
"Is something under the ground? That beam is definitely coming from something," he muttered, frowning.
He looked down at the ground. He previously believed that the whole pyramid was empty, but he realized that it might not be the case. It was possible that the Pyramid extended under the ground.
He opened the store again and took out the pass-through sticker. He placed the sticker on the ground, making the ground tired almost nonexistent. His body passed through the ground, going under it.
"So it was exactly what I thought. This is the real part of the pyramid!" Ryder exclaimed, seeing the secret location of the Pyramid.
He couldn’t help but smile, amused.
Unlike the higher floors, the lower floor wasn’t empty. In the center of this floor, a coffin was placed at the center of the room.
The coffin seemed to be made from pure gold. Many rare jewels were embedded in the coffin, most of which were something that Ryder had never seen before.
As for the white beam of light, it was also coming from the center of the Coffin, shooting towards the sky.
Curious, he walked towards the Coffin. Even as he reached the Coffin, the white beam of light didn’t stop.
Soon, Ryder was standing just an inch away from the Coffin.
"The coffin... It doesn’t seem like an ordinary one. This beam of light is certainly odd. I wonder if a god really lies inside it. Why would a dead god have his tomb here though?"
He was really thinking about opening the coffin, but he couldn’t. There was a lock on the coffin, which seemed like a lock from old times which used keys.
"Now, where can I find its key? Very strange," Ryder wondered, smiling wryly.
He needed to open the lock to see what was inside, but he didn’t possess the key.
"Fine. Since I don’t have a key, I’ll simply break it," he muttered, bringing out the Moon Scythe.
He wanted to slice the lock in half so he could open the lock.
Strangely enough, as soon as he brought the Scythe out, it started vibrating. There was some kind of resistance that it was offering against Ryder.
Something like this had never happened before, which made Ryder observe the Scythe, wondering what had happened. He gripped the Scythe firmly and didn’t think too much about it as he swung his Scythe, slicing the lock of the golden coffin.
As soon as the lock was cut, the white beam of light stopped. The shaking of the ground also stopped.
