Destroying My Own Novel

"What? Have we already reached the last floor?" Glasya asked as she stared at the giant gate where Jael protected the tower. "But this does bring back memories, this place," Glasya said as she walked past the gate.

"Unpleasant one, for me and Vixelleth," Zherthlsh said as she hugged herself because it reminded her how cruel the other sisters treated them.

Glasya went quiet and remembered how she hurt both Zherlthsh and Vixelleth with [Holy Flame] when she mastered that flame. Glasya was the one who hurt them physically and emotionally while the other sisters watched.

Beldathiel rubbed Zherthlsh's head with a gentle smile.

"I'm here now, nobody can hurt you anymore as long as I have this in my hand," Beldathiel said as she held the dice.

"Beldathiel, do you remember when we were still small? We all came all the way up here whenever our fathers gathered in Gehenna. We were wondering what kind of place the top of the tower looked like," Glasya said as she looked up. "Back there we didn't know she existed, Luciel,"

"I already knew Luciel long before he introduced her to all of you. She came down secretly and played with me quite often," Beldathiel answered. "To be fair she came down so she could bother my sleep,"

The three of them were having light conversations until they felt a tremendous amount of pressure coming from the tower. With the presence of all the Demon Kings including Lucifer, they all felt scared and Mykel decided to warp them outside the tower.

"You guys can go to another tower. I have to meet someone first, and then I'll meet you guys," Mykel said.

"Okay, we will go ahead then," Beldathiel said.

Mykel nodded and then he warped away.

"Where do you think he's going?" Zherlthsh asked.

"Looking at how he left hurriedly, maybe he's going to meet Luciel in the Empyrean. I might be wrong, but I'm confident that's where he's going," Beldathiel answered.

"What? Since when Mykel has been in contact with her?" Glasya asked with a confused look.

"Who knows, I didn't ask. Anyway, let's get going," Beldathiel replied as she walked past Zherlthsh and Glasya.

(In the Empyrean World)

Mykel stared at the palace from the distance and saw Luciel walking out of the palace with a pale face. He didn't move or say anything as he stared at her with a bit of a smirk on his face.

Luciel could sense Mykel's presence, and she immediately looked around until she found Mykel standing in the middle of apple trees. She gritted her teeth and stabbed her right ribs to pull out her handleless sword. She then flew as fast as she could with the cuts because she held the sword so tightly out of anger.

The moment she was close enough to Mykel, she swung her sword as hard as she could. Mykel dodged it and the whole floating island was cut in half, and she didn't even care about the apple trees anymore and kept swinging her sword at him.

Mykel flew away and let Luciel swing her sword at him for as long as she wanted. They both flew away from the palace and destroyed dozens of floating islands like it was nothing to them.

Compared to dealing with Loki, Luciel was easier to predict even though she was faster. Mykel then glanced at his surroundings and realized they had been flying for quite a while and were far away from the palace.

Mykel had his fun and stopped running away.

"Why?" Luciel asked as she caught her breath.

"What are you talking about?" Mykel asked back.

"You're letting the breakout to happen! Why?!" Luciel shouted.

"Is there a problem with that? Isn't that what you demons want?" Mykel asked with his eyebrow raised.

"The Aersland... He ordered me to annihilate that world," Luciel answered as she started to calm down a bit. "Why? You said that place is the last place he wants to destroy, but why are you letting him have it?" Luciel looked at Mykel with a perplexed look.

"You didn't believe my story right? Why are you so anxious about it if you don't believe it?" Mykel stared Luciel in the eye.

Luciel couldn't answer that question as she clenched her fists. She then closed her eyes as she took a deep breath.

"After hearing his reason why specifically he wanted to destroy that world. I couldn't help but think that you were telling the truth," Luciel answered quietly. "I still had a doubt, but then I remembered you said that I would regret it If I didn't take your words seriously," Luciel explained as she kept looking down at hundreds of people melting in the lava.

"Does that mean you believe everything I said?" Mykel asked.

"Yes..." Luciel answered, but she felt wrong to believe in him. "Know that you got what you want, can you prevent the breakout from happening? At least, kill the eighth demon lord in his tower," Luciel asked with a worried expression.

"No, a deal is a deal," Mykel answered without hesitation.

Luciel was devastated and started to chuckle in disbelief. "I see, then there's nothing I can do about it," Luciel said as she turned around.

"That doesn't mean I can't make a deal with you," Mykel said before Luciel could spread her wing to fly away.

Luciel slowly turned around and looked at Mykel with suspicion. "If the deal has something to do with making a pact like how you did to my sisters, then I refuse," Luciel said firmly with a stern look on her face.

Mykel chuckled softly as he shook his head which made Luciel confused.

"Honestly, if I could do that, I would make that kind of a deal," Mykel answered, and it made Luciel more confused. "A pact is a special connection from one soul to another, but since you're made of hundreds of thousands of souls inside of you, nobody can make a pact with you," Mykel explained.

Luciel looked at her chest as she pressed her left hand on it.

Mykel tried to [Modify] Luciel [Character]'s story to make her trust him, but the system didn't let him because his [Admin] skill was too low. He was quite surprised that Luciel was on par with Lucifer and Mara regarding system protection. It made sense since Luciel was basically higher than Lucifer regarding power if he didn't seal the power inside her.

"Then, what kind of a deal do you want to make with me?" Luciel asked.

Mykel flew toward Luciel and floated right in front of her. He then smiled as he stared her in the eye.

"Don't look at me as an enemy, especially as a threat. That's all I want," Mykel answered.

Luciel scoffed as she stared back at Mykel. "Then what? You're going stab me in the back after you used me?" Luciel asked.

"Yes," Mykel said without hesitation, and it made Luciel grit her teeth furiously. "For the second part, not the first part," Mykel continued.

"I will use you for a greater good, and that can't be denied, but that doesn't mean you can't use me either," Mykel said with his hands in his pockets to show that he was vulnerable. "I want to try to stay true when I'm talking to you," Mykel explained.

Luciel furrowed her eyebrows, and she looked a bit troubled by what she heard.

Mykel stared Luciel in the eye and never let away. He knew Luciel's weakness that even Lucifer didn't even realize. What made Luciel so indifferent to Lucifer was because of what she was made of, and it was called emotion.

The Empyreanian with their personalities to serve and satisfy those they like. Even if it was just a bit compared to the souls of the Celestials, as long as it was there, Mykel could use it. If he didn't interfere and told the truth to Luciel, she would willingly sacrifice herself for Lucifer without questioning anything.

It was Mykel's plan all along to make Luciel feel cornered by letting the breakout happen and suggesting Lucifer attack Aersland.

"Is that all?" Luciel asked.

"Yes, and then we can have a deal if you agree to it," Mykel nodded his head.

"Then we have a deal. So what are you going to do since you have made a deal with me?" Luciel asked.

"It's simple. I promised him that I won't clear any tower, but that doesn't mean I will stay quiet when he invades Aersland," Mykel answered with a smile.

Luciel raised her eyebrows and noticed that all this time Mykel had planned this beforehand. She should have known better that Mykel wouldn't let Lucifer get what he wanted.

"So you're already using me, huh?" Luciel shook her head in disbelief.

"Did I? I'm just asking you to not look at me as a threat and enemy. I'm not exactly using you," Mykel asked back as he kept smiling.

"Hmph..." Luciel muttered contentedly. "But how are you going to do that? You know that I'll be the one who's going to kill those people," Luciel asked with curiosity.

"That's not a problem at all because I will send everyone to Aersland to protect them from you. If they die, I can bring them all back to life with no problem. So, there's no need to hold back, and just do what he told you to do," Mykel answered with confidence.

"That won't solve the problem because nobody can kill me even if you send my sisters to fight me," Luciel said.

"I know, but they can prolong the time before she will punish him for sending you down there like last time," Mykel explained with his arms crossed. "Once he got summoned by her, I will show myself in Aersland, and that's your cue to leave," Mykel continued.

"To think you're using my sisters for your own interest, it's unbelievable," Luciel said with a bit of anger.

"As I said earlier. It's for the greater good. Not just for me, but for you as well, no?" Mykel raised his eyebrows and looked at Luciel. "Well then, I have been here for a long time. I should go and help your sisters get stronger," Mykel said.

"Wait! Before you leave, I want to ask you something," Luciel said as she reached her hand at Mykel. "What's your real purpose for doing this?" Luciel asked.

"Your father's vulnerability. I want to kill him and take his soul since he and I are the same," Mykel answered with a serious expression. "That's not the main reason. The main reason why I want to kill him is that I want to break the seal inside your body," Mykel pointed at Luciel's chest.

"Why?" Luciel furrowed her eyebrows.

"I want you to replace his position, and help me fight her," Mykel answered.
