Destroying My Own Novel

“Another failure, huh?” Mykel asked as he watched the Chimera lose their minds and be completely controlled by a mere lesser demon. “Mind Stability and Status Resistance are useless. If that’s not the case, then what is?” Mykel asked as he sat down and watched the Chimera bow down to Lilith.

“(So you have finally found the solution for the soul separation. That’s quite an interesting method)” Lucifer said after he read Mykel’s thoughts. “(That should be possible, but where do you think the soul will go to after that?)” Lucifer asked.

“(That’s exactly what I want to try, but they all ended up being subjugated by the demons inside them. It’s impossible to try this against the subjects who have lost their freedom. We need a subject who has a strong will to fight the demon inside them)” Mykel answered.

Mykel’s plan was to remove the [Demonic Manifestation] skill from Agnez, and even if Mazikeen ended up dead, he would be able to bring her back to life. The problem was, he was unsure if it would be possible, and what would happen if she did come back to life. Her soul might end up back inside Agnez’s soul again.

“(I know that’s the first possibility, but what if when I deleted her Demonic Manifestation skill and nothing happened? Not only Agnez wouldn’t be able to use Mazikeen’s power anymore, but Mazikeen would also end up living inside her and couldn’t do anything)” Mykel said as he sighed and stared at Lillith who banished the demon inside the Chimera’s body.

“(What if you use that second method? Kill Agnez and bring her back to life. That should only bring Agnez’s soul back, but not Mazikeen’s. That would be like a reset button)” Lucifer said.

“(But as long as she has the Demonic Manifestation skill even after she died when I bring her back to life that would force Mazikeen’s soul to go back to her body again)” Mykel answered. “(I could try both methods. Kill her, delete the skill, and lastly bring her back to life or switch the first and second steps)” Mykel continued.

“(What’s going to be, Mykel?)” Lucifer asked

“(I’m going to use my favorite guinea pig for this. She’s going to succeed)” Mykel replied.

“(Lillith? You’re going to put a demon inside her?)” Lucifer was intrigued by it.

“(Not just any demon who’s brainless and unnamed. I’m going to put an Archdemon who has the opposite of Lilith’s personality that would make it possible to resist the temptation)” Mykel answered as he looked at Lilith. “(One who hate men, and the other one want enslave men)” Mykel continued.

“Mykel, is there anything else that you need? Do you want to try it again?” Lilith asked.

Mykel stared at Lilith and realized he might be able to make it a success if it was her and Lillith.

“Lilith, are you done with shooting the film?” Mykel asked.

“I’m currently on a break, I have a week free from today, why?” Lilith asked as she sat down next to Mykel.

“I’m going to use you as a test subject,” Mykel stood up and looked down at her. “I want you to try and possess Lillith,” Mykel continued.

Lilith looked at Mykel with a confused look as she slowly leaned her body back. She never thought she would be the subject of an experiment, but she didn’t mind.

“I’m going to take the kid here,” Lilith said and teleported.

Lilith came back with Lillith in her arms, and then she put her down. Lillith looked so confused as to why she was brought into the lab.

“Sit down,” Mykel said as he approached her. “Do you want to do another experiment? Lilly?” Mykel asked.

“What kind of experiment?” Lillith gulped nervously.

“To put her inside your body, just like Agnez and Mazikeen,” Mykel answered as he sat down next to her. “But, I’m not going to make you like her. I just need you to get into a certain final step and then I’m going to try to separate your soul and her soul,” Mykel explained.

“Okay, but what’s the catch here?” Lillith asked.

“I might have to kill you,” Mykel answered without hesitation.

“As long as you can bring me back to life, that’s fine by me,” Lillith sighed and she was still anxious about it.

Mykel rubbed Lillith’s head and then put his hands on her cheeks. “I’ll reward you with whatever you want once this is over,” Mykel said as he gently rubbed them.

“I’ll tell you what you want now. I want to become a Demi-god just like Agnez and Jeanne,” Lillith replied and she stared Mykel in the eye with a serious expression.

“Okay,” Mykel gently smiled and nodded his head with understanding.

Mykel stood up and glanced at Lilith as he nodded his head. Lilith sat down and brought her soul out of her body. She then entered Lillith’s body which made Lillith fall from her chair and immediately threw up.

“Holy shi-” Before Lillith could finish her sentence, she threw up again, but this time it was blood that came out of her mouth. Her nose was bleeding, and blood was coming out of her eye which was really painful. “I can’t see… I can’t breathe,” Lillith panicked as she tried to reach her hands toward Mykel.

Mykel held her in his arms, and Lillith held his body so tightly. She was trembling in fear, but Mykel caressed her hair and back to comfort her. He didn’t want to help her because he believed it was necessary for her to handle everything herself at that point to fasten the process.

Lillith had a very high fever that she felt like she was being burned alive. It didn’t take long until she lost consciousness, and then Mykel brought her and Lilith to the castle.

Three days had passed, and Mykel was staying in the castle to take care of Lillith with Deviatris, Gaia, and Hera. She was still unconscious and she experienced the same thing that Agnez experienced.

“You look a bit happy today, Mykel,” Hera asked and noticed Mykel looked a bit brighter than usual.

“It’s because Asmond finally cleared the last thirtieth floor,” Mykel answered as he looked at his [Admin] skill that had reached level 6.

[Admin (Active): Allow the User to open the command system and modify everything that is listed in the command system. The User is allowed to modify the system based on the skill’s level and the higher the level, the more commands they will unlock and the more time they can modify the system. (Current skill level is 6. The User can only modify 6 systems a day), (Allows to [Modify] some of Constellations/Demons [Skill Tab]. Unlocked all Skills that existed in the original story including all the Gods and Demons’ skills), (Added a new feature [Addition] which allowed the User to add skill instead of modify)]

Unfortunately, the skill that he could [Modify] didn’t include the [Demonic Possession] or its upgrade since they didn’t exist in the original story. He wasn’t bothered by it because he was finally able to [Modify] Gods and Demons’ skills as he pleased, but not Mara’s [Skill] since her [Domain Admin] skill prevented him from looking into her skills. He needed to have a higher level of [Admin] skill to bypass it.

“It’s nothing,” Mykel said as he closed his status screen. He then checked on Lillith’s pale skin and lips so that she could be mistaken for a corpse. “She’s getting worse, but the complications are slowing down than last night. She should be fine soon,” Mykel gently put his hand on her forehead.

“Mykel, I have one request,” Gaia said. “Can you send me and Deviatris to Leowa World? There’s an ingredient that might suit this experiment, and Shelly’s knowledge might be able to help us,” Gaia explained.

Mykel hummed and warped both of them to Leowa World to meet with Shelly. He didn’t have to follow them since he could see them through Shelly.

While he was watching Shelly through the channel, Hera suddenly sat next to Mykel and rested her head on Mykel’s right shoulder. She didn’t say anything, but she was being restless that Mykel started to wonder why she was acting like that. He wondered why she asked to come in the first place.

“What’s wrong, Hera?” Mykel asked.

Hera slowly lifted her head and looked Mykel in the eye. “I’m conceiving your child, Mykel,” Hera answered.
