Destroying My Own Novel

“(Until when are you going to mess around with Asmond? Don’t you want to raise your Admin skill?)” Lucifer asked.

“(What do you think I’m doing here? These Chimeras are Asmond’s men, I’ll use them and help him clear the tower. I just need to make sure that these Chimera still have their emotions intact and not like a zombie)” Mykel answered as he looked at the Chimera in front of him.

“(You really are defying the law of the World. To think you used those chosen humans by her and changed them into undying beings that only follow your order)” Lucifer said.

“(Didn’t Thanatos, Nyx, and Hades did something like this first? I’m just making the perfect version of it)” Mykel answered as he watched those Chimera interacting with each other like normal human beings.

Mykel observed the Chimera for hours, and he wanted to make sure that nothing was wrong with them. He also told them to duel with each other to see how powerful they were. After he was satisfied with the results, he made them all his [Recipient] and sent them back to the Fraternity Association.

“They would still stay loyal to you no matter what happens, right?” Mykel asked Deviatris.

The reason why Mykel asked that was that in the original story when Asmond fought Deviatris. She used her homunculus slimes on those who couldn’t kill them in time and took their bodies as new vessels for the slimes. Modifying the bodies, and turning them into a Cambion with terrifying strength.

Although those Cambions were following Deviatris’ commands, in the end, Asmond found a flaw. Those Awakeners that turned into Cambions were resisting and tried to fight back. With Rozan’s help, he managed to neutralize them with water magic and kept the strength inside them. Deviatris’ creations ended up turning against her, and she lost the battle.

“Yes… human… loyal…” Deviatris answered as she nodded her head slowly. ” My blood… seal… them…” Deviatris explained.

“Come here, sit down with me,” Mykel said as he sat on the only chair that wasn’t stained by blood or pieces of flesh.

Deviatris looked at Mykel for a moment, and then she sat down on Mykel’s lap. Mykel was mildly shocked and didn’t expect her to sit down on his lap instead of the chair next to him. But, he didn’t say anything and let her sit on his lap since she was so light.

“Do you want me to fix you?” Mykel asked as he looked at Deviatris in her black tattered gown that showed how skinny she was.

“Fix… me…?” Deviatris tilted her head as she looked at Mykel over her right shoulder.

The idea of Deviatris and her father, Demon King Mammon came from the famous story of Frankenstein and his monster. The famous story that everyone knew, and he used the idea of how Mammon created Deviatris with the help of Lucifer.

Lucifer and the other demon princesses were made through magic and celestial power, but not Deviatris. She was made from the body parts of the strongest demons back then. It could be called a failure, and Mammon had to live with his failure, just like how Lucifer and Luciel did. That skill called [Atrophy] was the reason why she was different from her other sisters. She lived in the eternal pain and itch of decay that she couldn’t get rid of.

She was the same as the monster that Frankenstein created. They both were imperfect, and it bothered Mykel since she had become his, and he wanted a better version of her. He wanted to make her more fearsome and dignified rather than terrifyingly ugly, unsightly, and timid.

“Yes. I know your body is in pain, extremely,” Mykel said as he gently put his hand on her back. “I’ll free you from suffering, and complete you,” Mykel continued as he gently lifted her up and carried her in his arms.

Deviatris looked at Mykel and didn’t say anything. She looked him in the eye with admiration and relief. Suddenly Mykel put her on the surgical table carefully and then removed his gloves from his hands.

“I will turn you into a human first, so it’s going to be a bit painful since you will lose some of your skills. But don’t worry, I will turn you back into an Archdemon immediately after I get rid of the problem,” Mykel said as he looked Deviatris in the eye.

Deviatris nodded her head without hesitation.

“I’ll bring someone to help me, so you can feel at ease,” Mykel said as he activated [Devil’s Apparition] and summoned Lucifer behind him. “He’s going to help me cure you,” Mykel continued as he looked at Lucifer and nodded his head.

“You’re in good hands now,” Lucifer said as he walked to the other side of the surgical table. “But I never thought you would care so much about her,” Lucifer looked at Mykel who was thinking of the steps he had to take.

“Of course, I care. She’s mine now,” Mykel said as he gently stroked Deviatris’ hair and tucked it in so he could see the pale purple skinny face of Deviatris.

Since Mykel’s [Admin] skill wasn’t high enough to [Modify] a demon’s skills, he had to turn her into a human race first. Unfortunately, the [Infernakinesis] allowed to manipulate the demon’s skills like how [Admin] skill worked. It couldn’t get rid of the [Atrophy] skill because it kept coming back the moment it was erased. Mykel knew his [Admin] skill was more powerful than [Infernakinesis], and it would work once he removed [Atrophy] skill once and for all.

Mykel turned Deviatris into a human and immediately removed the skill from her. He looked at Deviatris’ status screen and there was no sign of the skill coming back. He then turned her back into an Archdemon, and once again checked if the skill came back.

“The pain should be gone now. How do you feel?” Mykel asked as he looked at Deviatris.

Deviatris was dumbfounded and stared at the ceiling blankly. It was for the first time she felt like she didn’t have the urge to scratch her body. It felt like an endless bliss, and then she looked at Mykel with her eyes wide open.

“I… feel… good…” Deviatris said.

“Perfect, now it’s time to fix your body,” Mykel smiled as he put his hand on her head. “It’s your turn now, Lucifer. You’re the master of creation after all,” Mykel continued as he looked at Lucifer.

“Any specific request before I do this?” Lucifer asked.

“Surprise me,” Mykel replied as he nodded up.

“There was a time when I ruled Babylon as a King,” Lucifer said as he started to modify Deviatris’ feet up to her knees. “There was a most beautiful, dignified, powerful, and legendary woman,” Lucifer continued as he carefully reshaped her body.

“Are we talking about Semiramis?” Mykel asked as he looked at Deviatris who casually listened to their conversation.

p “Yes, she was at that time, the only mortal that I would call a beauty. She was my favorite creation, and until now, I still held her soul somewhere in the Empyrean World,” Lucifer nodded as he started to reshape Deviatris’ hips and waist. “I don’t think this story wasn’t in the original story, right? This is the story that existed in your head, in your knowledge,” Lucifer asked as he kept focusing on Deviatris.

“Yes,” Mykel answered.

Deviatris looked glanced at Lucifer and Mykel back and forth. She had no idea what those two were talking about. She kept quiet and never thought Lucifer himself would pay attention to her, or even get that close to her, and touched her body.

“But I believe there will always time when I can create something even more beautiful than her. Luciel was the proof of it, and I also believe that she won’t be the last beautiful thing that I can create,” Lucifer seemed to be talking to himself and started to modify Deviatris’ chest and arms.

“Thanks to you, I have seen a lot of beautiful things. Although you don’t want to hear this, but Nasha was one of them,” Lucifer said. “It gave me so much inspiration, and this is the first opportunity after the revelation,” Lucifer continued as he started to modify Deviatris’ face.

“And now I can say that by far she going to be the most beautiful thing that I have created,” Lucifer said as he pulled his hands away from Deviatris.
