Destroying My Own Novel

"How long does it take to clear the fortieth floor?" Agnez asked Mykel.

"Two weeks at least. Based on how fast you cleared the thirtieth floor. Then it would take us a month to clear the fiftieth floor," Mykel answered. "Why? Are you planning on clearing the fortieth floor?" Mykel asked.

"No, even if I want to, I don\'t want to starve because we don\'t bring enough MREs," Agnez sighed, and then she looked at Leonard with hundreds of people standing at the door. "Are you not going to use them?" Agnez asked.

Mykel turned around to look at Leonard and his friends.

"That\'s up to you because I don\'t need weaklings, especially people with pure hearts like them. You can use them if you want to, but I\'m not going to take them as my Recipients," Mykel watched as they walked into the hall.

Mykel approached Lexus and his team and asked them if they wanted to go back to Orinca or Earth. They didn\'t have any more business in Orinca because they had become the most wanted criminals after they killed the most powerful president in Ornica.

Mykel sent them to the suite, and then he warped himself to Gehenna, leaving the others to deal with Leonard and his friends.

"(Don\'t you miss your son, Mykel? Your son is looking for you,)" Loki asked in a very soft voice.

"(Is it him, or is it you that are looking for me?)" Mykel asked as he walked to the side. Awakeners walked past him and stared at him weirdly at the attire he was wearing.

"(Both of us,)" Loki chuckled, and he sounded like he was exhausted.

"(Ask Gaia to bring you to her world, I will be there,)" Mykel answered.

Mykel was enjoying his cigarette, and suddenly something flew right toward him and almost hit his face. He dodged it and saw it was the [Dagger of Soul-Marking]. It was stuck on the railing of the bridge where he leaned on. He grabbed it and looked at the description. He then smiled and scoffed when the description changed.

"How\'s it? Got what you want?" Lucifer asked as he landed right next to Mykel.

"Yes, this is what I want," Mykel said as he put the dagger under his blazer\'s pocket.

"While I\'m up there, I saw Luciel and her sisters went somewhere with Beldathiel, Vixelleth, Zherlthsh, and Glasya," Lucifer said as he leaned on the railing next to Mykel as he lit his cigarette. "I don\'t know what they\'re doing, but looks like they\'re planning on doing something," Lucifer continued as he stared at the Awakeners that walked past them.

Mykel opened his [Admin] skill and checked Beldathiel\'s [Character] story. He read the latest information about her and saw the conversations she had with her other sisters. It was an interesting conversation and decided to read it before he went to Demiourgia.

Luciel wanted to create a new home for her and her sisters. A home where nobody could bother them, and live as they pleased. Unfortunately, she forgot that her sisters were different from her. They were created to kill, torture, and bring chaos to mortal worlds.

They didn\'t want a peaceful world, and if they were allowed to live as they pleased, they would only create a new Gehenna. Luciel realized that it would be impossible, and surprisingly, the only ones who were fine about that idea were Beldathiel, Glasya, Zherlthsh, and Vixelleth. They were influenced by Mykel, and his way of living, or to be exact, they didn\'t care about why they have created anymore because they were all comfortable living with him.

"Your daughter realized how hard it is to deal with her other sisters," Mykel said as he closed the screen in front of him.

"They\'re born from the ego of their fathers, of course, they would be troublesome. It\'s her job now," Lucifer said as he turned around and saw the thick hot cloud underneath the bridge. "After all, we are all just a character created on a piece of paper. Why bother?" Lucifer squinted his eyes and was still bothered by it.

Mykel closed his eyes and tried to use [Warp Space], and when he opened his eyes, nothing happened. There was a red notification and it looked so threatening in front of his eyes. He smirked and immediately closed the notification.

He warped them both to Demiourgia, and to everyone\'s surprise, they saw Lucifer next to Mykel. Lucifer was surprised when all the Gods saw him and that he suddenly got warped to Demiourgia, he immediately closed his eyes and sighed.

"What\'s the meaning of this? Mykel?" Lucifer asked.

"That voice," Hera clenched her fists and gave a stern look at Lucifer. "Lucifer," Hera said quietly.

"Didn\'t you say that you killed him?!" Ares asked in disbelief.

"I did, and this thing isn\'t his real body. You can tell that he has no soul inside," Mykel said.

They all looked at Lucifer and some of them could tell that it was hollow inside even though there was an immense amount of power within his body. Mykel then explained what actually happened when he defeated Lucifer that day.

"This is better than the original plan. Having him here and still possessing the power he has while at the same time he can\'t do anything but follow my order is great," Mykel said as he looked at Lyneth and Loki at the altar since they both were basically dying.

"If he possesses all the power he has, isn\'t it dangerous? What if, just what if he found a way to let himself free from you?" Freyja asked as she pointed her hand at Lucifer.

"He can\'t, or to be exact, he won\'t," Mykel said as he looked at Lucifer. "He knows something that stops him from believing," Mykel continued.

Hera looked at Mykel and realized he had something he was keeping from the rest of them. They all thought the same thing, but they knew him so well that he would keep it a secret.

"Mykel, can we talk? Privately?" Hera asked.

"Of course," Mykel answered, and suddenly Spenta flew toward him and landed right on his head. "Looks like someone wants to tag along," Mykel said as Spenta snuggled his head on Mykel\'s neck.

"Goddess Gaia, can I use that place? Your sanctuary?" Hera asked Gaia who was with Lyneth and Loki.

"Yes, but please don\'t make a mess," Gaia said with a smile.

Hera transformed herself into a peacock and flew away, leaving feathers in the air. Mykel followed her from behind, leaving Lucifer with the Gods, and it would be an awkward situation for everyone there.

Hera landed right in front of the sanctuary, and it was similar to the altar Gaia had created for Lyneth. It was a square stage with pillars around it and a giant statue of Gaia herself in the middle. The stairs were covered in moss, and the stage was covered with a pond with a pool of fish living in it and small pine trees. He looked up at the giant trees with their thick branches above the stage that made the sanctuary protected from the sunlight.

They were in the middle of nowhere with forests and hills hiding the sanctuary. It was refreshingly cold, and the evaporation fog made it so peaceful, even Spenta couldn\'t hold himself to wander around on his own.

"I knew he would like this place, and you know Loki is using him so he can eavesdrop on our conversation. So this is the perfect place where we both can talk privately while Spenta is distracted by the divine power in this place," Hera said as she walked up to the stage.

Mykel walked up the stairs and followed Hera from behind as he watched the beautiful place. When he reached the top of the stairs, he was surprised when he saw the gown that Hera wore slowly fall down from her body. The smooth skin of Hera\'s back and perfectly shaped body that lured Zeus because of it.

"You can do something than just look. You can touch them if you want," Hera said as she looked at Mykel over her shoulder.

"The last time I\'m in a sanctuary with a beautiful woman, I ended up having a baby," Mykel said as he looked at Hera from the distance, and didn\'t show any sign of wanting to get close to her.

"Didn\'t I say that we are here to talk? What makes you think that we are going to make love?" Hera asked with her eyebrows raised with a smile on her face as she still looked at Mykel from over her shoulder.

"A talk? Then let\'s have a talk," Mykel smirked as he approached her.
