Divinity: Against the Godly System

An illusory clock started taking shape behind the Lord of Time as soon as the back of his spear tapped the ground. 

The clock only had one hand, which was pointing straight towards the sky. 

The Illusory Clock seemed to be made of shadows. It was dark in color, but the hand which was pointing at the sky was stark white in contrast to the color of the clock. 

"It's Time!" The Lord of Time thundered as he clenched his fist and punched the ground. To punch the ground, he had to bow down, which gave the clock behind him the space to attack freely without the worries of having the Lord of Time be affected. 

The fist of Lord of Time crashing on the ground seemed to act as an intermediate to provide more energy to the illusory clock behind him, which seemed to have gotten more real and less Illusory. 

Ryder didn't help but frown as he saw the clock. He knew what it was, and it wasn't a good deal for him. Yet, he didn't back off. 

His fist was tightly clenched, with which he punched straight ahead. A giant dark hand took shape before his fist, which seemed to be multiple times bigger than Ryder's real fist.

The hand also seemed more frightening as the dark hand seemed to be made of shadows that were even darker than what the Clock was made of. 

The slender fingers of the hand seemed less like the fingers of humans and more like the claws of a beast. 

The dark hand shot straight towards the Clock, which acted at the same time by shooting out a white ray of light to match the attack of Ryder. 

The dark and the white ray of light clashed with each other, effectively fighting for supremely. 

The Clash was so powerful that it created a powerful wave of wind that spread everywhere. 

The wind was powerful enough to toss any human dozens of meters away, but it wasn't strong enough to affect Ryder and the Lord of Time that held their ground. 

Ryder had to stop in his tracks as he didn't go close to the place of impact. Even though he was strong, it was because of his soul. His body was still weak. He had to be careful when dealing with such things. 

If it were the old him, he wouldn't even need to use the Dark Hand to take care of the Annihilation of Time. Only good physical prowess would have been enough. Unfortunately for him, his body didn't support him, and he had to stay effectively carefully. 

As the Dark Hand and the white ray of light kept clashing for supremacy, Ryder acted with swift hands as he raised his right hand towards the sky. 

Another dark ray shot out towards the sky, coming out of his palm, which seemed only to be an inch thick. 

The ray of light shot out for about Twenty meters before it stopped. 

Ryder caught the other end of the Ray of Light to use it as a rope. He jerked his hand to make the rope follow the Lord of Time who had just stood up.

Even though it seemed like a long time had passed between the previous attacks, in reality, only a moment had passed. The Lord of Time's fist was still on the ground, which he was slowly raising to stand up. 

The rope made of Dark Ray of light shot towards the Lord of Time and wrapped around his legs. 

The Lord of Time had barely managed to stand up when the rope suddenly wrapped around his leg. Ryder pulled the rope as soon as it got a hold of him. 

The Lord of Time lost his balance as he was pulled by Ryder. 

Ryder watched the Lord of Time being dragged towards him at the speed of light. He already seemed to have prepared for it as he freed the rope and punched out. 

It all happened so fast that even the person that ruled over the time couldn't do anything when Ryder's fist connected with his face, making him shoot straight towards the pond. 

The Lord of Time landed on the pond of water. Unfortunately for him, despite that, Ryder didn't give him the time to recover as he raised both his hands towards the sky. 

"Come and show this place a glimpse of your true Strength!" Ryder roared in a voice full of emotions as he looked towards the Sky. 

The wind started moving even faster as the sky started turning red. Even the Sound of Thunder could be heard despite there being no presence of any clouds. The Sky was perfectly clear of clouds despite being covered in what seemed like the blood-red hue. 

The Blood Red Hue started collecting in one place, getting denser and denser. It could be seen taking shape already.

The shape it was taking seemed to be of what could only be described as a silhouette of a sword. 

The Sword didn't seem sharp, but it did seem to be filled with power. As for the sharpness, that didn't seem to be possible as it was made from a misty red hue. The sword started taking shape and became denser and denser with each moment. 

As it became denser, the problem of its sharpness also seemed to be stopped. The Red Sword's edge became sharper and sharper as it took shape. 

Within moments, the sword was complete. It seemed to be a sword that was seventh meters long and a meter wife. The hilt of the sword itself seemed to be a few meters long. 

As the Sword finished taking shape, it was also looking more realistic, as if it was a real sword. There also seemed to be a strange pattern on the blade of the Sword, which was incomprehensible and unclear. Only Ryder knew what that pattern meant. 

The Lord of Time had a moment to get to his senses after the punch that had managed to knock the lights out of his brain. He was still at the depths of the pond, but he swam upwards.

As soon as he managed to get his head out of the water, his gaze fell on Ryder, who was standing at a distance. Ryder had his hand aiming towards the sky. A shade of red was visible on his face and his body which was making him look even more demonic. 

That wasn't strange, though. What was strange was that the entire place seemed to have a shade of red. Curious about what it was, the Lord of Time slowly raising his head towards the sky.

As soon as the Lord of Time looked towards the sky, he saw a giant sword hanging above his head.

The Sword seemed to be something he recognized which made his face go pale as he blurted out, "That sword... How..."

Unfortunately for him, he couldn't ask as Ryder didn't give him time to.

Ryder started bringing his hand down slowly. As soon as his hand started moving, the Sword that was hanging above the Lord of Time's head also started falling down. 

The Lord of Time tried to move out of the water, but it seemed like the presence of the sword was making him unable to move. A restriction was applied to him, which was stopping him from flying. 

He could only swim. The Lord of Time started swimming towards the edge of the pond to get out of here as fast as he could.

Albeit, his speed seemed like the speed of a turtle compared to the giant red Sword, which appeared to be a tiger chasing after the turtle. 

The Turtle realized that he couldn't get out on time. The only way to get out of it was facing the sword head-on. 

He raised his hand towards the sky to call out the Spear of Time which had fallen somewhere when he was punched. 

Unfortunately, the Spear didn't come flying to him despite his expectations.

"Looking for this?" 

The Lord of Time heard Ryder's voice. He looked towards Ryder only to find the Spear of Time in his hand now.

The Spear of Time was trying to get out of Ryder's grip, but it seemed to be failing badly. It wasn't able to get out of Ryder's hand.

"I'm sorry, my friend. But this is as far as you go," Ryder muttered as he gazed at the Lord of Time. The red Sword had reached awfully close to him

"Stop everything!" The Lord of Time roared as he used the last option he had. It was to destroy this special realm and run to a different place. Unfortunately for him, this also didn't work.

"What he didn't know was that Ryder had already cast his Domain which sealed everything inside this realm. Let alone time; not even space could be affected here anymore. He did all this to make sure that the energy that came out of this battle did not reach the other gods.
