Destroying My Own Novel

"You can't take that skill?" Lucifer asked as he sat at the table with Nyx sitting on his lap.

"No, I tried to use my Duplicate skill on her, but the skill failed. It's the first time my Duplicate skill unable to copy a skill. I guess her own Quintekinesis skill is preventing my Duplicate skill since she's immune from external factors," Mykel answered as he sat at the table with Sasha and Elena on his lap after they ran around in the garden for hours.

"Your Admin skill can't recreate it as well since that skill isn't in the original story. It's a shame, but looks like if you want to get that skill you have to try feeding yourself life energy," Lucifer said and enjoyed his wine.

"Good luck finding that much energy. There's nobody has that amount of life energy, not even Luciel," Nyx said as she wrapped her arm around Lucifer's neck.

Elena and Sasha had been staring at Lucifer for quite a while. They both realized he looked similar to Mykel, and they both didn't know the truth about Mykel's existence yet. Elena was curious about him since she oftentimes felt a feeling and emotion other than Mykel's.

"Uncle, are you father's brother?" Elena asked.

"Do we look alike?" Lucifer asked as he leaned his body forward and pointed to his own face.

Elena and Sasha nodded their heads in agreement as they kept staring at him.

"Well, perhaps your father can explain it to you because I can't say anything without your father's permission," Lucifer said as he chuckled and looked Mykel in the eye.

"I'll tell you both once I'm back," Mykel said as he looked at both of them. "Now, you should go to sleep with your mother, Elena. She would panic if you're not in bed with her," Mykel continued.

"Can I sleep with Sasha and aunt Hera?" Elena asked.

Mykel looked at Hera who sat next to him. She nodded her head with understanding as she stood up. Elena, Sasha, and Hera left the garden and went inside the castle to sleep in the same room as Lyneth.

"She's so cute, right? Both of them," Nyx asked as she stared at Lucifer.

Mykel glanced at Lucifer who was busy drinking his wine and pretended not to hear it. He chuckled and started teasing Lucifer to give Nyx an heir.

"We should focus on what's in front of us right now," Lucifer cleared his throat.

Everyone gathered around Mykel and they all started to discuss the steps that they needed to take for later. Mykel explained everything in a detailed manner so everyone understood and wouldn't make a mistake. It took Mykel an hour to explain everything and answer all the doubts and questions everyone had.

"The sun is rising, it's time for us to leave and prepare," Beldathiel looked at all her sisters.

They all nodded and went to the Empyrean World with Angra, Aurea, and Jeanne with Mykel's [Warp Space] skill. The Gods also left since they heard enough and waited for Mykel's signal when he wanted to summon all the Major Arcana to the Hall of Arcana.

(In the Empyrean World)

Beldathiel knew where the sword was, and she went there to pick it up with her [Telekinesis] power. The moment she arrived and saw the sword was stabbed on the ground, she used her [Telekinesis] power to pick it up. She looked at the sword from up close, and it reek of Divine energy.

She safely came back with the sword, and everyone looked at it while Nephilim and Jeanne explained the plan to Luciel.

"Should I bring this sword to Gehenna now?" Beldathiel asked Luciel.

"Yes, please. I have informed Zasalamel about the situation. He has prepared everything for all of us, so go and see him," Luciel answered. "Also, bring Angra with you. He's going to be fighting with you guys," Luciel looked at Angra next to her.

Jeanne looked at the sword floating right behind Beldathiel that was blocked by her golden wings. She was nervous to take that sword again since she didn't want to experience that feeling of powerlessness. Unfortunately, she had to offer her body to Hanessi after Luciel destroyed the sword. It would be better to destroy the sword rather than Hanessi using it when he possessed Jeanne's body. The souls that Jeanne had collected were powerful souls and dangerous if Hanessi possessed them.

Beldathiel left and went down straight to Gehenna to meet Zasalamel.

"Aurea, we both are going to try to destroy that sword together. Do you think you can help me with that?" Luciel asked as she stared at Aurea who was standing next to Jeanne.

"How many souls are being tortured down there?" Aurea asked.

"It's enough to cramp and suffocated all the worlds that you know of," Luciel answered.

"Then consider it done," Aurea smiled. "I also have a gift from Mykel that will help me," Aurea pulled out a ball of Empyrium Steel filled with life energy.

"Good, then you all should prepare," Luciel said as she nodded with understanding.

Everyone left the palace and guided Aurea and Jeanne to Gehenna except for Nephilim. Luciel looked at her with her eyebrows furrowed, but before Luciel could ask her, Nephilim pulled out her book from thin air.

"This is something that Mykel personally told me, and I have to borrow two of your abilities, sister," Nephilim said as she opened the book.

Lucifer raised her eyebrows with curiosity and listened to Nephilim's request.

(Somewhere in Gehenna)

Beldathiel landed in front of a giant circle of a bottomless pit with billions of voices that could be heard from it. She looked at the sharp teeth that decorated the pit on the edges. She then could hear a loud thumping as the ground shook, and suddenly a giant hand came out of the pit with long claws that sizzled and steamed.

"It's an honor, to finally be able to meet you in person, Princess Beldathiel," A deep voice that trembled her eardrums echoed from the pit.

"Yes, you have been working nonstop so we have never met each other," Beldathiel answered as she watched a demon with giant horns on his forehead glowing white eyes, and black dried long hair. His messy teeth that tore his own cheeks and lips slowly climbed up the pit, and then giant wings with hundreds of holes could be seen behind his muscular full-of scars torso.

Beldathiel looked at how big Zasalamel was. He was at least 40 meters tall, and his body was 10 meters wide. If he spread his wings, his width would be 100 meters. He held a giant sickle in his right hand and a burning whip in his left hand.

"Is that the sword that her highness mentioned?" Zasalamel asked as he stared at the floating sword next to Beldathiel.

"Yes, and I heard you're going to help us," Beldathiel answered as she looked at the sword.

"It's her highness's order, I have no reason to disobey her words," Zasalamel answered.

While those two were having a light conversation, Luciel and the others came. Every single one of them was already in their true form and menacingly stared at the sword.

Aurea dove down and landed right between Beldathiel and Zasalamel. She looked at him and grinned as she chuckled mischievously. Since Mazikeen was the only one who had traveled and explored every corner of Gehenna to look for a worthy opponent, she always sparred with Zasalamel whenever she was bored. The result was always a draw because both of them were strong in terms of brute strength.

"Long time no see, Amel," Aurea said as she drew her sword.

Zasalamel was confused and surprised since the only one who called him that was Mazikeen. "My apology for not recognizing you, Princess Mazikeen," Zasalamel lowered his head.

"Hah! You're being polite as always," Aurea said as she patted Zasalamel's calve. "Anyway, I'm going to take all your toys. Sister's order," Aurea looked at him with a serious expression, and she felt a bit guilty.

Zasalamel didn't say anything as he nodded with understanding.

"I'll treat you with something," Aurea said as she spread her wings and then jumped down the pit. The only place that Mazikeen hadn't explored.

Everyone waited for Aurea, but they realized the screams that they heard from the pit slowly became less and less. They kept waiting until there wasn't a single scream that could be heard from the pit. They were curious how strong Aurea would become, and while they were thinking about it, something flew up into the sky and shattered the ground and the pit because of the shockwave.

Zasalamel was blown away by the shockwave and almost lost consciousness. Luciel and the others were on guard since they had anticipated it and weren't affected by the shockwave.

"I'm ready for a fight," Aurea said with a smirk.
