Destroying My Own World

Lillith tried to get up, but her body had given up on her and couldn't take another beating from Mykel. The only ones who were still up were the original five people from the beginning, Elena, Luciel, Aurea, Jeanne, and Beldathiel. The others couldn't even move the tip of their fingers because of exhaustion.

Amaryllis watched in the distance and she realized that she couldn't win against Mykel even if she used everything she got. She had analyzed the outcome and the difference in power between Mykel with the others.

Currently, Jeanne was at forty-eight percent of Mykel's power, and that was the maximum limit of her power. Aurea was at thirty-five percent of Mykel's power, but she could become stronger if she was given time. She could surpass Jeanne if she mastered her skill, and that also applied to Luciel who was currently at thirty percent of Mykel's power.

Beldathiel was currently at the top with fifty-two percent of Mykel's power. Her [Inertia] skill was still growing and it grew rapidly, not to mention Beldathiel's way of thinking that was out of the box. It felt like she could keep up with Mykel's growth.

Elena was supposed to be unbeatable, but she was currently at thirty percent of Mykel's power. She didn't want to get another power, and it was what she wanted, so Amaryllis respected her decision. She was no longer invincible compared to the others, and not to mention that she hadn't received a new power from Amaryllis.

Everyone else was currently at ten up to twenty percent of Mykel's power, but that was because they hadn't mastered their new skills. Ten percent of Mykel's current power was enough to single-handedly annihilate the Gods of Earth based on Amaryllis analysis.

"How long have we been here?" Mykel asked Amaryllis.

"Three months of the void realm which is a year in other realms, and three days in the real world," Amaryllis answered.

"Let's head back. We have enough training, and I want to know what's going on out there," Mykel said as he deactivated the [True Daemon] skill and hid his massive wings.

Everyone was teleported back to headquarters, but when Mykel was about to follow them, he realized Elena was standing still in the distance. She was staring at the destroyed planets and stars in the distance because of their training. In her eyes, they looked beautiful, and how she was mesmerized by them.

Mykel approached her and thought she was feeling down, but when he tried to read her feelings, she was calm and relaxed. He wanted to put his hand on her head, but he realized that he should treat her differently. He then stood beside her and stared at what she was staring at and enjoyed the silence.

"You achieved the impossible once again," Elena said as she watched the star explode in the distance. "Have you become as strong as The Lord?" Elena asked as she looked at Mykel.

Elena realized Mykel's power the moment she tried to take his life energy. It was the most unpleasant feeling she had ever felt, and she didn't want to make the same mistake again.

"No, I don't think so, and I might not be able to with my current existence. I might disappear if I let the power inside me grow," Mykel answered as he shook his head. "If I'm not careful with this power, I would become one with him since I borrow his power," Mykel added.

"Is that so?" Elena asked with her eyebrows raised and stared at the universe.

Mykel looked at Elena with his eyebrows furrowed because she sounded and looked apathetic. She was acting weird, and Mykel was a bit worried about her, but then she turned around and smiled gently at her and suddenly grabbed his hands.

"I'm okay, and you're going to be okay as well," Elena said as she looked at Mykel's hands in front of her. "It makes me happy when you said that you're trusting your back to me, and I have been trying to do that for you this whole time. So, I want you to keep trusting your back to me," Elena continued and slowly wrapped her arms around him and hugged him.

"Of course," Mykel said and kissed her head as he stroked her hair.

Elena slowly looked up at Mykel as she moved her hands up to his cheeks. She leaned toward him and started kissing him without hesitation or guilt. They both kissed for a while, in space with the ambient sound of the universe around them.

"Let's head back," Mykel said as his upper lip still touched Elena's upper lip.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I want to stay here for a moment. I want to enjoy the view here," Elena answered and kissed Mykel again.

Mykel hummed and then warped away, leaving Elena alone in the void realm.

Elena touched her lips with her happy face, but then her happy face disappointed and turned into a serious expression. She stared at the stars around her and started to release her life energy which was enough to brighten the void realm.

Mykel came back and everyone went to their own room to sleep because they deserved it. He then went to Lyneth's office to ask about what he missed during his absence.

"How did the sparring go?" Lyneth asked as she looked at Mykel.

"It was better than I expected. They still need time to understand their new skills, and I'll let them play with them a little bit longer," Mykel answered as he sat on the sofa.

Lyneth and Edith didn't join the spar since their skills didn't need them to train for it. Lyneth was given [Devotion] skill which made her as strong as the person he devoted to. In her case, since Mykel's power was impossible to attain, she only got thirty percent of his power. Discover exclusive tales on empire

Edith was given the [Providence] skill that made her existence loved by nature and other living beings. The world around her would protect her at all costs, and she could share it with other people. Not only that, she had become mother Earth, and she could control any events of nature.

"We lost all connection to the outside world now. We are on our own, and they threatened everyone in the United States that whoever stayed will be seen as an enemy of the world," Lyneth said as she showed the declaration of war that had been approved by all countries that still existed. "Of course, they still want to give us a second chance for one last time. They will take back the declaration of war if we handed ourselves to them and gave them all of our assets," Lyneth continued.

"How nice of them, but I don't need their kindness," Mykel said as he signed the document and accepted the war. "Also, is that why the city looks so dead now?" Mykel asked as he looked at the empty streets from the glass wall.

"Only a few that stayed because they believe it's safer here than out there. This whole building, there are only a few dozen of people that still want to work for us," Lyneth answered as she turned on the TV. "Also, this has been on the news for the past three days," Lyneth pointed at the TV with the remote in her hand.

Mykel looked at the world conference with representatives of each guild around the world. They had decided to work together to close portals around the world by clearing them. Since it was the Virtue Guild who had achieved it other than the Rebirth Guild that cleared a portal, they decided to choose the Virtue Guild as the leader.

"That man," Mykel said as he looked at the slick black-haired man standing next to Sasha. "Who's that?" Mykel asked.

"Eric Ulf, the new Redshield Guild guildmaster. The name sounds like he's from Germany," Lyneth answered. "They called him the Lone Wolf because he single-handedly annihilated thousands of demons with his powerful magic," Lyneth added.

"Any background that you got about him?" Mykel asked.

"None, but based on the information that I got, he was supposed to be a close friend of Sasha," Lyneth answered as she looked at Mykel.

"Sasha doesn't have close friends, not even one," Mykel answered as he looked at Eric. "I think I know who that man is," Mykel said.
