Chapter 705 705: I wanted to
Even if Caen killed so many innocent people, he didn\'t want to kill him. After all, the young man was the only child of Chaos.
"Since I let him leave alive, I will carry his sins. If you all want to blame anyone, then blame me."
Ryder stayed there for a moment, paying his respects to the innocent lives lost in the chaos caused by Caen\'s actions. He closed the little girl\'s eyes gently, offering a silent prayer for her and the other souls that departed too soon.
Not a single person in this place was left alive. The only thing he could do was take care of their bodies. His Divinity covered the entire city in an instant. All the bodies that were left there slowly turned into the specks of light, merging with the nature.
At the same time, their souls were sent into the Cycle of Reincarnation.
After dealing with the bodies, with a heavy heart, Ryder stood up and turned his attention to the devastated city.
He knew he had to act quickly to prevent further harm and restore some semblance of order. Utilizing his divine powers, he began to mend the broken structures in the area, all the marks of battle slowly disappeared as the surroundings returned to their usual look.
All the blood in that area was cleaned. Not a single speck of blood was left behind.
Ryder\'s focus shifted from the immediate surroundings to the broader picture. He knew that the news of the portals would spread like wildfire across the world. And this happening right after the viral video about the Caen was even worse. At the moment, it was hard to make anyone believe that it was a prank.
He knew that people would be scared, confused, and seeking answers. He couldn\'t allow chaos to spread even further.
As he looked around at the city, Ryder felt a weight on his shoulders. He had always tried to protect his home and the peace from any external threats, but now it seemed like the threats were emerging from within.
The idea that gods were meddling with the human world and causing such devastation filled him with frustration, especially since the god responsible for this was his own nephew.
Making a decision, Ryder used his divine powers to communicate with the leaders of various nations across the globe. He appeared before them in a form that they could comprehend, to reassure them.
He could once again use his Divinity to erase everyone\'s memories, but this time it was more complicated. He had to cover the entire world in his Divinity and if he did that, this was going to break the balance of this world.
If the balance of the world was broken, the balance of elements was going to be broken, and many people might wake up with abilities due to the balance being broken.
This was no different than shoving this world in even more chaos, since no one could control just what kind of people were going to get benefits of this.
If that didn\'t happen, then another possibility was for earth to become a completely barren land. He didn\'t want this world to be shoved in chaos like many other worlds where this happened in the past, like the Nether Realm.
Usually, not many people in this world knew about his real identity. However, it was time to come out.
At the same time, he appeared before all the Global Leaders, who were trying to find what the portals were about. All the nations were getting ready for a war against the unknown enemy.
Ryder appeared before them and tried to calm down. On such a large scale, this news could only be suppressed by the leaders of various Nations.
Ryder gave the leaders of the world a brief explanation about the existence of Godly Beings.
He informed them of the battle that had taken place and how Caen was responsible for summoning the Abyssal Beasts. He made it clear that Caen had been dealt with, and the immediate threat had been neutralised.
The world leaders were initially sceptical and wary of Ryder\'s claims, but his display of power and the sudden disappearance of the Abyssal Portals convinced them that he was speaking the truth.
They agreed to keep the events a secret from the general public for the time being, while they worked on strengthening security and cooperation between nations to face any future threats.
At the same time, all the Leaders were horrified by Ryder, but they didn\'t reveal it.
In the aftermath of the chaos, Ryder didn\'t rest.
As days passed, Earth began to recover from the ordeal. The news about the portals was slowly suppressed. And the people who even talked about seeing the Portals were called conspiracy theorists.
Even most of the people who saw the portals in the sky started doubting their own thoughts.
But deep down, many people knew that what they had witnessed was real. They couldn\'t shake the sense of unease that lingered within them.
There were whispers in dark corners and secret meetings held, as these individuals sought to uncover the truth behind the portals. Meanwhile, Ryder returned to his home, finally sighting in relief.
He felt bad for the people who were termed as Crazy. However, that only made things easier for him. If they were all gathered and identified, he could erase their memories of the incident and make things return to normal.
So he let the governments continue their actions and search.
"Did you kill him?" As soon as Ryder sat down, his son appeared behind him, asking a simple question.
"I wanted to," Ryder answered honestly. "Despite that, I couldn\'t... I couldn\'t get myself to kill him. Sometimes relationships are so complex and filled with conflicting emotions. It\'s difficult to make sense of it all."
