Destroying My Own Novel

"Mykel?" Jeanne asked with a worried expression because she was afraid that Bhatmelec would be the one who took over his body.

"It's me," Mykel smiled as he pulled his hair back and his eyes looked empty. "How did you do it? I was trapped and suddenly I got pulled out from my dream," Mykel asked as he tried to sit up but realized Elena was sleeping on top of him.

Elena looked at Mykel and she looked angry and pouting at him. He knew why she was staring at him like that, and so he stroked her head to comfort her.

"It was you, isn't it, Elena? Thank you," Mykel smiled and kissed her on the forehead.

Elena hummed, but she was still pouting and looked mad at him even though he caressed her like he always did. Mykel then tried to stand up, but Elena didn't want to move.

"Elena? Can I sit?" Mykel asked.

"No, if I get off of your body, that lady inside your body will harm you," Elena answered with a serious expression. "I'm protecting father from that lady," Elena continued.

As soon as Elena said that, absolute silence happened and it made Mykel realize that time had stopped. The birds and the clouds stopped moving, and even Jeanne was frozen in time. Weirdly enough, he could move, but then Elena pushed him back down and it startled him.

"Elena? You can move?" Mykel asked with a surprised expression.

Elena looked around and noticed something was off, but she didn't move her body and kept clinging to Mykel's body.

"That lady is evil. I will kill her," Elena said as she lifted her right hand and clenched it.

"She's not evil. In fact, she's quite the opposite. She just thinks that I'm an evil person so she tried to fight me, but now she knows that I'm not evil," Mykel answered as he grabbed Elena's hand. "She's angry and she's shocked that's why this happen," Mykel explained.

Elena believed Mykel's words and slowly loosened up her fist.

Mykel was telling the truth because the past two days, Bhatmelec and Mykel had a long conversation. She still didn't want to believe, but before Elena brought his consciousness back, he managed to tell Bhatmelec to look into his memories.

At that moment when time stopped, Bhatmelec was looking into Mykel's memories and had a conversation with Lucifer. Lucifer was like a tour guide and explained all the memories that were saved inside Mykel's head.

"(I still can't believe that you're our creator, Mykel Alester. You created us with that weird box that you tapped with your fingers. You created us and you were the ones who killed all of us just for a story?)" Bhatmelec asked and she sounded pissed.

"(Aren't you the same? You created the Empyreanian and did everything as you pleased on them. Don't pretend that you're not different from me)" Mykel replied.

Bhatmelec went quiet since she couldn't throw words back at Mykel.

"(I'm at loss... My power is slowly leaving my soul, and someone or something has been binding my soul and stopping me from harming you. I have no chance of leaving)" Bhatmelec said.

"(Lend me your power and I can promise you one thing)" Mykel said as he hugged Elena with his eyes closed. "(I'll bring you back to life once this is offered. Not only you, your siblings, all of them. I'll bring you all back to life and put you back in your world)" Mykel continued.

"(Do I have other choice but to accept?)" Bhatmelec sounded annoyed, but she didn't sound like she hated the deal. "(Fine. You're a man of your word. I'll lend you my powers)" Bhatmelec agreed and moved the time again.

Elena felt that the lady's existence inside Mykel's body which she thought was going to harm Mykel started to disappear. She looked at Mykel with a curious look and noticed the power that the lady had slowly being transferred into Mykel.

"The lady is gone?" Elena asked.

"No, the lady has become one with me. She lends me her power so I can use it to fight a powerful enemy in the future," Mykel answered.

[You have attained new skills!]

[You have attained [Chronokinesis] skill!]

[You have attained [Reform] skill!]

[You have attained [Celestial Mind] skill!]

[You have attained [Celestial Possession]

[Chronokinesis: Allows the User to manipulate the flow of time around the User or the time of the universe. The User can slow down time, stop time, speed up time, or even rewind time. (It is extremely dangerous to rewind time too far as the flow of time is singular. Rewinding time will only cause damage to the User and the events will repeat themselves)]

[Celestial Mind: Allows the User to read minds and thoughts. The skill also allows the User on looking from the target's perspective without having to possess the target's body]

[The [Celestial Possession] has evolved!]

[The [Celestial Possession] has evolved into [Celestial Manifestation]

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

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

[Would you like to deny the process?]

[Yes] [No]

"It's similar to before," Mykel chuckled softly and tapped the [Yes] button.

[The system decides to [Modify] the [Celestial Manifestation] skill into the [Celestial's Apparition] skill as the replacement!]

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

Mykel activated [Devil Apparition] and [Celestial Apparition] right in front of Jeanne. Lucifer and Bhatmelec appeared before her eyes and it startled her when she saw wings on her face.

"Hmm, it's just like what you said," Bhatmelec said as she looked at her own hands. "I can still use my skills even with this body," Bhatmelec continued and looked at Lucifer.

Jeanne was staring at Bhatmelec and how majestic she was compared to all the Gods she had seen. Even compared to Lucifer, Bhatmelec looked more mature and dignified.

"Ah, you're the one who possesses Hanessi's power, Jeanne Dvar," Bhatmelec looked at Jeanne from over her shoulder. "So you're an Empyreanian as well," Bhatmelec turned around to look at Jeanne's face more closely.

Jeanne nodded nervously because she felt in terms of appearance for the first time.

"Does that mean Hanessi can go out as well?" Bhatmelec asked Mykel.

"Unfortunately, no. Hanessi has offered his life and soul to her. He got devoured by her soul and you can say he no longer exists," Mykel answered. "But you don't have to worry. I can bring him back to life when I'm done with my business here," Mykel continued.

Jeanne looked at Mykel and was curious as to what he meant by that.

"If you say so," Bhatmelec said and didn't bother to ask for more explanation. "By the way, is she your daughter?" Bhatmelec asked as she leaned her body forward to look at Elena.

Elena suddenly sat up and slapped Bhatmelec really hard which shocked them. It was a shock to Bhatmelec as well and the sting started to crawl under her left cheek. She then looked Elena in the eyes, and she was more confused rather than mad.

"Since father said that you're not an evil person, I shouldn't hurt you, but I hate you for trying to hurt him. I'll remember this for the rest of my life," Elena said with a serious expression. "If you dare to touch my father again, I'll not hesitate to hurt you," Elena continued.

Bhatmelec laughed as she covered her mouth, but she nodded her head with understanding. She already knew how powerful Elena was, and she was curious how could such an existence like her be born from a mortal's body.

"I barely understand the situation, but I know enough that I'm the last person you need to get, right?" Bhatmelec looked at Mykel as she rubbed her stinging cheek. "Then why don't you introduce me to all the Gods that follow you?" Bhatmelec asked.

Mykel stood up and got off the bed. "I'm planning to do so, let's meet with them now," Mykel answered as he snapped his fingers and sent all of them to Niflheim.
