Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 648 – Chapter 644: No Way Out

The doors of the Crystal Palace opened before the gods could even get to them. 

A person stepped out of the palace, appearing to be a young silver-haired boy. 

“As expected! You were here!” The God of War said. “I’ll see where you run now, traitor!”

“Run? Can I even run after the entire space is sealed by you? I’m not an idiot to think that you people didn’t take precautions to stop me. What I’m actually surprised by is how you found me?” Janus asked. 

“That compass is probably what led to me. But I don’t think you had that before. Or you would’ve found me long ago. Did the High Gods give you that? Ah, what am I even asking? The High Gods are certainly the ones who can do something like that.”

“They were probably salty that their palace was blown up, weren’t they?” Janus asked. 

“Enough nonsense! Get down on your knees! We aren’t here to kill you! We will simply imprison you! If you’re sensible, you won’t resist!” The Goddess of Destiny stated. “Don’t force us to kill a god again!”

“Kill? Hahahahaha.”

Janus burst into laughter, hearing their words. 

“You think I can believe that you’ll let me live simply out of the goodness of your heart?! Nonsense! You want to capture me so you can use me against my brother? You want me as your hostage, don’t you!” 

“Isn’t that a better option than death?” The Goddess of Water chimed in. “If you resist, you’ll be killed. The only option is to surrender. Then you’ll survive. So the choice is between life and death! Why do you worry about the future? Just decide in the present after looking at your options.”

“Options? I have already looked at my options. And I’ve also decided my answer,” Janus replied. 

“Very good. So you agreed to surrender,” the Goddess of Destiny let out. 

“Tsk, the bastard survived! I wanted him to resist so I could kill him!” The God of War stated in frustration. 

“Why don’t you listen to my answer first? I said I decided. But I didn’t say that I decided to surrender?” Janus said, smiling. 

“You mean….?”

“Yep. I want to fight. If he can fight you alone, why can’t I? I’m his brother, after all. Moreover, being used against my brother? No thanks. Instead of being a coward and becoming an obstruction in his plan, I might as well die fighting!” Janus declared as he flew towards the God of War. 

Since the space was blocked, he couldn’t teleport to attack. He couldn’t use his Spatial gates either, at least not the ones that were big enough to accommodate him. 

He could only make small Spatial Gates that weren’t even as big as his head. So the only option for movement left for him was to fly. 

However, space was the advantage of Janus! Without his Spatial Movement, he was just an ordinary God when it came to speed. 

Even the God of War was faster than him since the God of War was the best fighter. He was not only a master in hand to hand combat, but he was also powerful and fast. 

His reflexes were also the fastest. 

He smirked at the sight of Janus attacking. His figure flickered as he appeared near Janus. 

He tossed his fist. Janus moved in the air, changing his position to avoid the attack instantly. He grabbed the God of War’s wrist before landing on the ground. 

It all happened within a fraction of a second. Before the God of War could even react, a kick landed on his chest. 

The kick contained so much strength that it would generally have made him fly back, but not at the moment. Janus was holding the wrist of the God of War to hold him in place. 

Because of not being able to move back, the impact of the kick made the God of War even more hurt. 

Janus realized that the God of War was going to attack back. He freed the wrist of the God of War before he landed a spinning kick which landed in the same spot, hurting the God of War even more. This time, he flew back uncontrollably before crashing on the ground.

Even though Janus had attacked first, it was all a bait since he knew that the God of War was going to attack as well. He pretended to be careless just to make the God of War attack. 

Moreover, he also arranged his kick in such a way that instead of tossing the God of War towards the other gods, it made him fly towards the Palace of the Goddess of Life and Death. 

The God of War passed through the entrance of the palace before crashing inside the palace. 

“That bastard! I will kill him!” The God of War stood up, enraged. 

“Hmm? What’s that?” He suddenly noticed something. A barrier was present around him. And a formation was under him. 

“Trap!” He raged, seeing the formation. He attacked the barrier, ultimately failing to break it. 

The barrier was made because of the formation under him. The formation was created by Janus using his own blood. He had spent a lot of vitality to create that formation. In fact, his body was considerably weaker now because of that, but he believed it was worth it. 

Even if he wasn’t weak, he knew he couldn’t defeat all these gods. He wasn’t his brother, after all. The best option he had was to be quick and trap them all, making them unable to leave for a short time so he could escape with the Goddess of Life and Death. 

On the other hand, if he didn’t do this, he knew that not only was he going to be captured, but the Goddess of Life and Death was also going to be killed. 

Even though at the start he acted to be surprised to know that they planned to capture him instead of killing him, he had already expected that since he was the weakness of his brother and these people were going to know that. 

Moreover, that was the only reason they didn’t blow up the entire palace to kill him at the start. 

That’s also why he took such a big risk. Since they weren’t going to kill him, he could afford to sacrifice his strength for the end cause. 

Without wasting a single second, towards the God of Flame.

“Futile struggles. You can never defeat us! You can only delay the inevitable,” the God of Flames said, sighing. 

He waved his hand, making hundreds of flaming swords appear above his head.
