Divinity: Against the Godly System

Shu looked similar to how he looked in the past, but he looked even more healthy. He also appeared slightly taller for some reason.

Many people in the hospital were surprised to see two of the richest men in this world in this hospital; however, some found it ordinary since this hospital was the best-ranked hospital in the whole world and owned by one of them.

Every famous personality came to this hospital to get treated. The staff had seen almost every celebrity. However, it was the first time seeing Ryder and Shu together.

Ring~

Shu's phone started ringing abruptly.

"Hello?"

"Sir, Mr. President contacted us. He said he wants to talk to you personally?"

"Tell him I'm busy. My best friend is about to become a father. Give him an appointment on Friday," Shu responded before disconnecting the call.

Ryder looked back, smiling. "He wants to order more weapons? Man, that guy will never learn."

"Hahaha, that's what keeps the business going. Who are we to care. But don't waste your time! Go inside!" Shu firmly stated.

Ryder took a deep breath before he opened the door and stepped inside the room.

Alice was lying in bed. Her belly looked slightly big as she was already nine months pregnant. According to the doctor, she could become a mother anytime.

"So you finally decided to show up. How can you be late even today?"

"I came as fast as I could," Ryder responded as he scratched the back of his head.

"By the way, where is Janet?" he asked Esmi.

Janet was the name of his first child. She was the daughter of him and Esmi and the first heir of the massive conglomerate.

She was only five years old at the moment.

"She is with Emma back at home," Esmi answered. "I didn't bring her here."

Emma was the name of Shu's wife. He had also married a beautiful lady that managed to steal his heart about seven years ago. In fact, Shu also had a son of his own which was only one year old at the moment.

Ryder nodded his head before he stepped closer to Alice.

He sat before her before holding her hand. "How are you feeling?"

"Tired," Alice replied.

"Don't worry about anything. A little more, and you'll be back home," Ryder said, smiling. "Did you eat anything?"

"I drank some juice."

"Good. Just stay here. I'll go talk to the doctor and be right back."

He left the room to go talk to the doctor.

"Where is the doctor?" Ryder asked Shu.

"She went to check on another patient. She should be back soon. Do you need something from her?" Shu asked.

"Ah, it's nothing. I was just wondering why she wasn't with Alice. I want a doctor with her every moment!" Ryder declared.

"Hahaha, I can understand what you're going through. It's the first child of Alice, and you're concerned. But you shouldn't be. There's a nurse inside the room every minute," Shu replied.

"If anything changes, she can inform the doctor instantly. And since it's your room, hundreds of doctors will rush to the room to attend to your wife. Don't worry. She's perfectly safe," he added. "You're worrying for no reason."

"I know. But still... I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling. It's as if something bad is about to happen," Ryder muttered, sighing.

"Don't talk nonsense. Nothing bad will happen. It's just the insecurities of a father speaking. I checked her reports. All reports are normal. She'll be perfectly fine," Shu let out, shaking his head.

"If you're still worried, let me call the doctor here. We'll have one sit inside the room every second just for your peace of mind."

"Yeah. That would be better. We'll have her back."

Ryder walked back inside the room and told the nurse to call the doctor back.

After finding out that it was Ryder Flynn who wanted him back in the room, the doctor had her colleague take over as she rushed back.

She stepped inside the room.

"Mr. Flynn." She respectfully greeted Ryder.

Ryder nodded his head. "I want one doctor to be with my wife every second. Is there any problem?"

"N-no problem at all. I'll sit here." The lady respectfully said as she took a seat.

"That's good." Ryder nodded in satisfaction.

He accompanied Alice throughout the day and even at night. It was only early in the morning when it happened... A baby boy was born to Alice and Ryder.

The boy looked similar to Ryder. He had deep blue eyes, just like his father as well.

The doctor gave the young boy to Ryder.

Ryder took the young boy in his arms. It was his second time taking his baby in his arms, but it was similar to the first time for him. He was just as happy as he was in the past when he held Janet in his arms.

"Welcome to the word, champ," Ryder muttered as he lightly touched the tiny nose of the boy. "Thank you for coming into my life and making it a thousand times better than it already was."

The baby seemed to have smiled in response, making Ryder feel like he could understand him.

"This kid..." The ancient being inside Ryder's body muttered something.

"Hmm? Did you say something?" Ryder asked.

"Yeah. Your boy... Pretty fascinating. I didn't know it was possible..."

"What was possible? What are you talking about?"

"Your first daughter was born an ordinary human with the lifespan of a god. Other than that, she didn't have anything special. However, this boy... He received every bit of power that you have."

"And that includes my own powers as well. He is born with Origin Immunity!"

"Origin Immunity? How is that possible? Even I only have that because you're sharing your powers with me. I would lose that when you leave my body. So how could my son have that?" Ryder asked, frowning.

"I'm not sure. That's why I said it was impossible. There are four people in this world who possess Origin Immunity! My partner and I were the only two who were born with Origin Immunity."

"The third was Chaos, who found a way to gain Origin Immunity through the bracelet, which was a miracle in its own."

"Fourth is you because I'm occupying your body."

"Of the four who possessed Origin Immunity, only two were born with it, and that too because we were made by the Higher Beings. And your son is the third one who is born with Origin Immunity! Do you understand the significance of this?"

"I-i don't understand how it is possible," Ryder muttered, frowning.
