Destroying My Own Novel

Mykel sent everyone to their own worlds since they had been away for too long. They managed to recover at least sixty percent of the damage during the breakout, and Brynhilde was grateful for the help. Bryndel wanted everyone to be there for Brynhilde\'s coronation day, and Mykel promised him that he would bring everyone there.

Luciel asked Mykel to bring her to the castle again, and she wanted to bring her sisters back to Gehenna. Mykel didn\'t mind, but he wanted Beldathiel, Zherlthsh, Glasya, Vixelleth, and Mazikeen to stay. Luciel understood since they belonged to him, and decided to bring the rest back with her.

Mykel went to Dimiourgia to check on Lyneth.

Hera and the others were still there and the inside of the cabin became much bigger since Hera and all the Goddesses were staying there for Lyneth. The moment they saw Mykel, they approached him to ask what had happened since Lucifer stepped down from his position from the Devil\'s Arcana.

"Mykel, did you finally kill him?" Hera asked with a serious expression.

"I did, but I will tell you the details later because I\'m here for Lyneth. I want to check her condition," Mykel answered.

Hera looked at the others, and then Gaia nodded her head.

"Lyneth is..." Hera paused, and she looked worried. "I\'m not sure how I should put this. The baby inside her is almost impossible to satisfy. We thought that we would be able to help her, but the more we gave, the more the baby want it," Hera explained and she seemed to be baffled.

"It\'s as if the baby has a bottomless pit," Freyja said. "The golden apple that I gave her, it didn\'t work. I\'m confused because it should give Lyneth immortality, but it didn\'t," Freyja continued.

​ "We all believe the baby is taking the effect rather than Lyneth herself since the baby took all the nutrients from what she ate. It\'s just a theory, but it was the only answer that we could come up with," Skadi explained with her arms crossed. "Whatever plan you have for this, I suggest you to be hurry because she doesn\'t have much time left," Skadi looked at the room on her right.

Mykel hummed as he walked past them and went to the room where Lyneth was. He entered the room and saw her sleeping and covered in a blanket made of thick leather. She was so pale and skinny compared to the last time he saw her, and that was only two days ago.

He sat on the bed as he removed his right glove and checked her body temperature by touching her left foot. Her body was cold, and thanks to his [Ergokinesis] skill, he could tell the amount of energy inside her body. She barely had any energy or life force in her as Skadi said earlier.

"She has been sleeping for almost a whole day now," Gaia said and looked at them as she stood at the door.

Mykel took a deep breath and transferred his energy to Lyneth, and Gaia was shocked by the fact Mykel used his own life force for Lyneth. One thing that piqued her curiosity was the amount of energy and life force that Mykel felt like it was infinite.

"Leave her to me," Mykel said.

Gaia nodded with understanding, and then she sent everyone away from the room. She closed the door in front of her and let them both have privacy for a moment.

"(The baby inside her body. You should have noticed it by now, right? The baby, she\'s almost as powerful as Luciel when I created her. The scariest part of it all, the more powerful you are, the bigger her potential is, and the more she carves for life force and energy,") Lucifer said and he sounded so fascinated by it. "(Poor baby has been only getting a droplet of water when she needs a whole sea to be alive,)" Lucifer continued.

Mykel could tell by now that what Lucifer said was true, and he couldn\'t leave Lyneth\'s side from that day onward. He knew it was a mistake to give her what she wanted, but now that he had gotten his curiosity, he didn\'t want to get rid of the baby.

"(Is this how it feels?)" Mykel asked.

"(Yes, and you will understand how precious it will be when she\'s born because she\'s a part of you,)" Lucifer answered. "(More importantly, you want to get your Authority to level 5, right? So you can make Lyneth an Awakener and turned her into a Goddess,")

Mykel hummed as he focused on giving the baby what she needed.

"(Can I ask about Nasha?)" Lucifer asked.

"(No, and don\'t mention her name again. You have looked into my memories, and there\'s nothing that you need to know anymore,") Mykel answered and Lucifer could feel the anger in Mykel\'s emotions.

"(It was unfortunate that she killed herself. Maybe If she\'s still alive you wouldn\'t be treated that way, but that\'s your own fault that she killed herself,)" Lucifer said.

Gaia and the other Goddesses quietly waited outside the room while they were enjoying a cup of tea. Suddenly they felt a chill down their spines, and their hands trembled from the immense amount of power that came from the room.

"Mykel?! Is he sacrificing himself?!" Hera asked as she jolted from her seat.

"Hera! Stop!" Gaia said, but it was already too late since Hera had already opened the door to Lyneth\'s room, and a bright light blinded her eyes.

Everyone saw the beam of light, and they covered their eyes as they tried to look at what had happened. They saw Hera was frozen still with her eyes wide open, and then she took a step forward to enter the room.

They all hurriedly ran to the room and they were petrified when they saw six white feathered wings behind Mykel\'s back. He was the one who produced the blinding light, and it felt warm enough to ease their minds. The warmth was enough to replenish their energy, similar to the lake where Odin stayed to recover his wound.

"Mykel?" Hera asked as she slowly walked toward him.

Mykel stood up as he folded the wings on his back, and then looked at Hera from over his left shoulder. His eyes were lazy, and he looked so dignified with his calm and composed look on his face.

"Are those, Lucifer\'s?" Hera asked as she looked at the wings on his back.

"Yes, and that should answer your question earlier," Mykel answered as he looked at Lyneth.

Mykel didn\'t care about the gazes and continued feeding Lyneth his energy. Gaia then put her hand on Hera\'s right shoulder.

"Let\'s not bother them for real this time," Gaia said.

Hera nodded as she slowly walked back, and then they all left the room.

Mykel stared at Lyneth and saw the notification next to him.

[[False Daemon] skill has evolved!]

[[False Daemon] skill has been turned into [True Daemon]!]

[[Devil Possession] skill has evolved!]

[[Devil Possession] skill has been turned into [Devil Manifestation]!]

[Due to the [Devil Manifestation] skill that allows Lucifer from taking over the User\'s body and skills. The system is removing the [Devil Manifestation] skill due to the risk of Lucifer from using [Admin] skill (Including all the skills that belong to Lucifer)]

[The User\'s [Admin] skill level is sufficient to interfere with the process]

[Would you like to deny the process?]

[Yes] [No]

Both Mykel and Lucifer were staring at the notification. At that moment, Lucifer could hear and understand Mykel\'s thoughts. Mykel was thinking of removing the skill since the system understood the risk, but on the other hand, Mykel also thought it would be a waste to lose those basic Celestial skills.

Mykel could hear and understand Lucifer\'s thoughts without him realizing it. Lucifer was anxious about the fact that Mykel wanted to remove the skill. They both were reading each other\'s minds and broke the fourth wall, and the infinite loop of thoughts made Mykel and Lucifer suffer, and a massive headache struck Mykel to the ground.

"(Stop thinking!)" Mykel shouted in his head.

It was impossible since thoughts came from the subconscious, and no matter how hard they both tried to not think about it, made their thoughts run wilder. Mykel accidentally tapped one of the options, and at that moment they both were thinking the same thing.

"(What did I/he press?)" They both thoughts.

[The [Admin] skill denied the process!]

[The system decides to [Modify] the [Devil Manisfestation] skill into the [Devil\'s Apparition] skill as the replacement!]

[Devil\'s Apparition: Allows the User to separate their own subconscious from the Devil possessed by their bodies by creating an [Apparition] of the Devil outside the User\'s body. The [Apparition] doesn\'t have a soul, it only has the consciousness of the Devil. The [Apparition] physical body is solid, and will be able to use all the original skills they have]

Both Mykel and Lucifer looked at it, and Mykel immediately tested it out by activating [Devil\'s Apparition].

Lucifer appeared right in front of Mykel, and he had his original body, even the wings on his back. He touched his chest and cheeks as he looked at his own body.

"I\'m outside?!" Lucifer was thrilled as he chuckled in disbelief.
