Destroying My Own World

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: A glimpse of power.

Agares and his team walked up the stairs in the middle row of the auditorium. He looked at each one of them and his expression was enough to tell that he wasn't interested in any of them because they were inferior to him. The moment he and his team looked at Mykel and his team, he smirked and found their interest.

Coincidentally, their seats were right behind Mykel's team, and they took a seat as they kept staring at Mykel and his team. The auditorium's atmosphere became heavier and heavier which made most of them hard to breathe. Mykel suddenly stood up and slowly turned around to look Agares in the eye. Everyone immediately looked at him and wondered what he was trying to do.

"We don't mind if you keep staring at us, but can you stop oozing your fiendish aura? It's making everyone uncomfortable," Mykel said and puffed the smoke of his cigarette.

Agares scoffed with a smirk as he raised his left eyebrow, "What are you talking about? We have no idea what you mean by that, and if they're troubled by our presence, that means they're weak."

The announcer was about to calm them down, but then Alfredo raised his right hand. He wanted to see what was going to happen and was interested in what would Mykel do against Agares, his most valuable Awakener.

A notification appeared right in front of Mykel.

[Due to the System is still in the progress of reestablishing, the System cannot bring the [Judgement Arcana] skill back to the Owner]

[The System has found a solution and is currently degrading the [Judgement Arcana] skill]

[Due to the System is still in the progress of reestablishing, the System cannot bring the [Judgement] skill to the Owner]

[The System has found a solution and is currently degrading the [Judgement] skill]

[You have attained a new skill!]

[You have attained [Tyrannize] skill!]

[The [Tyrannize] skill level has been maxed out!]

"This is what I meant," Mykel said with a blank expression and his right eyebrow raised as he activated his [Tyrannize] skill.

Everyone in the auditorium trembled in fear and none of them could breathe from Mykel's presence. The announcer and Alfredo fell to the ground and started crying with their whole bodies trembling in fear. Jeanne and the others tried to hide their faces with their hands, but their hands trembled uncontrollably which made them difficult to do so.

It was the first time for Elena, and she never thought she would feel fear in her entire life. She couldn't speak, her eyes started to water, and she wanted to ask Mykel to stop because it terrified her.

Agares and his team were terrified, but they could handle the effect of Mykel's skill. Although they looked fine, their hands trembled and they didn't want to speak a single word because they knew their voices would tremble.

"I didn't expect that all of you could resist my presence, that's really amazing. If you want to play, we can play anytime you want and I'll be there, but this isn't the right time for that, do you understand?" Mykel asked as he kept staring at Agares with a deadly stare. "Or we can play right here, right now, and I'll send all of you back to where you belong. Which one do you choose?" Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.

Agares didn't want to say a word, and then he slowly raised his trembling hands up in the air. Although they were Dukes of Hell, as long as they weren't in hell, they lost at least half of their power, just like any Demons that were powerful in their own domains. Agares knew he could win even if it was a small chance, but he didn't want to take the risk since it wasn't worth it.

"I know you're smart," Mykel smiled and then deactivated his [Tyrannize] skill.

Everyone was able to breathe again, and they were gasping for air as they wiped their tears. They had never experienced something like that before, and then they all looked at Mykel with terrified looks on their faces. They realized how powerful Mykel was by only showing off his overwhelming presence that he had been hiding all that time.

Mykel looked at Jeanne, Aurea, Elena, Lillith, Nagy, Lyneth, Enma, and Bhatmelec sobbing and gasping for air. He felt bad about it, but it was necessary and was a good impression to show the world how terrifying he was.

They ended up taking half an hour's break, and everyone used that opportunity to go outside to get some fresh air. Mykel used that opportunity to comfort the ladies and explain what actually happened.

"So it has been proved that the seven of them are Dukes of Hell by how they react to your skill?" Jeanne asked as she kept trying to keep herself together.

"Yes, my Tyrannize skill is only effective against human beings, other than that, they're quite resistant against the skill. Now, all we have to do is get their names, and perhaps find which Duke they are," Mykel answered as he looked at the empty auditorium. "Anyway, everyone should be back in any minute now. We can continue this conversation later," Mykel said as he sat down.

Everyone came back and Alfredo stood on the podium to start the conference. He opened the conference with his vision, mission, and purpose of guilds, Awakeners, and Chosen Ones. He wanted to make an inner circle inside a big circle by giving examples and the benefits of their current situation and position.

"What you're trying to say is that you want us to become looters that steal stuff from a house that's already burning? You want us to take advantage of the current situation and the goal is to overrule the world?" Magnus asked.

"The law and the system are already broken. This world is no longer ruled by people with intelligence alone. In this kind of world, everyone is only depending on people who can protect them, which is all of you here," Alfredo said. "You no longer serve the King or the President of your country, you serve the Gods who have chosen you. Your purpose is to take back the lands that they used to rule, and make it yours, am I correct?" Alfredo asked back to Magnus.

Everyone already knew what the purpose of the conference was after hearing that explanation. Some of them were interested, some were against it, and everyone started to argue about it. It was as Mykel expected that Alfredo was looking at which guild he could take advantage of.

"Let me ask a question, but not to you, Sir Alfredo, but to Mykel," Lazarus said as he looked at Mykel. "What's your opinion about this?" Lazarus asked.

"I think we're doomed that's what I believe in. Everyone here is talking about the future as if there's one in the first place," Mykel answered, and his answer made everyone quiet and listened to what he had to say next. "I don't really care about fame and wealth which I don't really agree with the first point of what Alfredo said. But, if those people who don't do anything but only sit on their desks demanding us to take back the country as if it's still theirs in the first place, I don't want that," Mykel continued.

"What are you trying to say?" Magnus asked.

"What I'm trying to say is that the world keeps changing, and this is the moment of change. If we are the ones who sacrificed our lives for the safety of our people, aren't we should be the ones that should lead them and not those people behind their desks?" Mykel answered. "That's where I agree on the second point of what Alfredo said, and I think we deserve it because the Gods are the ones who chose you," Mykel pointed out.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement or with understanding on the points that Mykel made. They became less aggressive against each other and started discussing rather than arguing.

"Can we state the obvious first before we go further?" Shanka asked. "We can talk about this if the world is safe, but the fact two incidents had happened and one of them is one of the strongest guilds hasn't come back yet, we should worry about the portal first," Shanka said as he looked at everyone.

The auditorium became silent because they had been trying to think of a way to prevent the portal from bringing in more demons. Unfortunately, they had no clue on how prepared they were or how strong they were to deal with it. They didn't want to make the same mistake as the Winter Guild or the Chosen Ones from the United States.

"We should stop anyone from entering the portals, at least until we are totally prepared. If we forced ourselves into the portal and ended up like them, we're not only risking our lives, but we're also endangering the people on Earth because we are the only ones who can protect them," James said and uttered his opinion.

"I agree, but for how long until you think that we're all prepared?" Zhang asked.

"I don't know," James answered.

"If that's the case, the Rebirth Guild will give it a try," Mykel said.

"Just the fourteen of you? Are you suicidal?" Darius asked.

"No, just the twelve of us," Mykel answered.

"That's stupid," Shanka said.

"Do you need validation? We don't mind sparring with each one of you," Mykel said. "If one of my team members lost, I'll take my words back and won't enter the portal," Mykel continued as he looked at Darius and Shanka.

"It's getting boring here anyway, so that should be enough entertainment," Darius answered with a smirk.
