Destroying My Own Novel

“You said you already have an idea what kind of body you want them to have,” Luciel asked as she looked at Agnez’s and Mazikeen’s bodies on the ground.

“I do, just watch,” Mykel answered as he activated [Devil Apparition] because he would need Lucifer’s help to create the new body. “For now, let’s focus on putting their souls in the Spirit Vessel first,” Mykel looked at the Spirit Vessel in his hand.

Mykel could feel something fly right into his body from behind and go right into the Spirit Vessel. It was Mazikeen based on how impure it felt and left a bad taste in his body. Then he could feel a divine power go through his body and go into the Spirit Vessel.

Everyone approached Mykel to see if the Spirit Vessel could withstand the souls of an Archdemon and a Demi-god. So far, there weren’t any problems, and the Spirit Vessel looked normal.

“Is it working?” Luciel asked.

Mykel didn’t say anything because he felt the power and the subconscious of Agnez and Mazikeen. It took a huge toll on his head, but he had to hold it since he might be the only one who could handle it.

“Yes…” Mykel answered and he felt a bit nauseated.

“Put it in this bag,” Gaia said as she opened the bag and offered it to Mykel.

Mykel hummed and dropped the Spirit Vessel into the bag. The headache disappeared and it became quiet and peaceful.

Lucifer knew what kind of body Mykel wanted from Mykel’s imagination. He liked the idea of the new body and had been wanting to do it as soon as possible.

“Do you want me to make use of Agnez’s body as well?” Lucifer asked.

“Yes. It would be a waste to not use it,” Mykel answered.

Lucifer hummed and immediately did his best to create a new body based on Mykel’s imagination. He carved the image in his head and started to create a body from the bottom to the top.

For everyone who watched Lucifer create a masterpiece, it looked so easy, but the truth was it would be impossible for them to imitate. They didn’t want to bother him and decided to wait on the side since it would be fun to see the final result.

Mykel gave some insight and guided Lucifer while at the same time trying to improvise. They both carefully and thoroughly created the body, and then Lucifer finally showed the secret behind the wing’s creation.

“So that’s how he creates wings. Amazing,” Gaia said as she watched Lucifer create two feather wings from the light that he gathered. “What a beautiful light,” Gaia was amazed and stared at the blinding light with her naked eyes.

Mykel ripped both of Mazikeen’s wings, and then Lucifer put down the wings he had created next to them. Everyone looked at those two and was confused why they did that, but then they looked at the four wings on the ground. Two demon wings and two angel wings were placed side by side.

“I’m jealous,” Deviatris said since she and the others already knew what those two were trying to do. “I want something like that,” she continued as she looked at the slime in her hands.

It took those two a whole day to finally create the new body, and everyone was surprised when they saw the final result.

“Mazikeen? Or is it Agnez? I can’t tell since she looks similar to both of them,” Beldathiel asked as she put her hand on her left cheek. “But those wings, aren’t they too big for her size?” Beldathiel looked at Mykel.

“They’re like Mazikeen wings, they can be expanded and become as big as she pleased,” Mykel answered as he looked at the body. “But, it’s going to be useless if they can’t control the body,” Mykel looked at the Spirit Vessel inside the bag.

Deviatris approached the body and thought about something as she put the Homunculus into the body’s mouth. The slime started to move and it made the body bulge and throb.

“Where are you going to put the Spirit Vessel?” Deviatris asked.

“A place where it won’t be easily targeted, and impossible to take out from the body unnoticed,” Mykel answered as he looked at the body. “Any idea?” He looked at every one of them.

“There’s no such a thing when she’s going to face a Celestial being. It’s better to put it somewhere they can protect,” Lucifer answered as he bent down to his knee. “The chest is the most visible area, and easy to protect,” Lucifer pointed at the chest.

“Did you think our creation would be that easy to break? We have condensed the Empyrium and it should be dense enough to be impossible to break, even with Luciel’s sword,” Nyx said as she looked at Luciel.

Mykel hummed and opened the body’s chest. They were all surprised that the body had everything inside like a human. He then reached out his hand to Gaia and asked her to give him the Spirit Vessel.

“Alright, here goes nothing,” Mykel said as he slowly put the Spirit Vessel inside.

The slime immediately wrapped itself around the Spirit Vessel because it felt a tremendous amount of energy. The body started twitching and everyone took a few steps back because they didn’t want to get into trouble.

The slime had covered every part of the body from the inside. The muscles, the veins, and even the brain. The slime stimulated them and used the energy from the Spirit Vessel exactly as it was intended.

“It’s working,” Deviatris said with a big smile on her face.

The left hand started to move and they could see the chest move and breathe. Mykel looked at both of their statuses, and they both were still alive. The eyes opened so slowly, and the first thing they saw was Mykel’s face.

“Mykel? Is it done?” Agnez asked as she tried to stand up.

“Can you stand up?” Mykel asked.

Agnez tried to move her body, but it didn’t respond to her as if some parts of her body didn’t belong to her. She kept trying, until she bent her knees, and slowly lifted herself up. It felt weird because those movements didn’t go as she wanted them to.

“It’s hard to move because I can only move my left arm, right leg, left side of my torso, and right side of my neck,” Agnez answered. “Mazikeen is the one who controls the other half,” Agnez continued as she tried to move her body, but then she fell because both of her legs decided to take a step back at the same time. Luckily, Mykel was there to catch her.

“It’s impossible to move, Mykel. This is different from what we thought,” Agnez said, but her tone was different. It was Mazikeen who talked to him.

“We just need time, Mazikeen. Let’s try and get used to it,” Agnez said as she tried to recover.

It was expected, and that was what they feared about this experiment in the first place. It would be impossible to let two souls control one body, and they already knew no matter how hard they tried, it would be pointless.

They watched Agnez and Mazikeen try to get used to their new body, but even after half a day of trying, they were barely able to take five steps. But, they didn’t give up because they didn’t want to let it go to waste.

“They can’t walk, and you want them to fight Hanessi?” Nyx asked and looked at Mykel.

“Looks like we need a new plan,” Luciel sighed and she sounded disappointed and concerned.

Mykel opened Agnez’s and Mazikeen’s status screens and planned to kill them both. He planned to undo everything and put them both back like before. It was a shame, but at least Lucifer had created a new body for them. A body that was powerful enough to withstand a God’s attack.

“Wait!” Agnez shouted. “Something is happening,” Agnez continued, and she seemed to be looking at the screen.

Everyone looked at Agnez and was confused until Mykel realized both Agnez and Mazikeen were deceased on their status screens. He was so confused, but then Agnez collapsed and looked lifeless.

“They both are dead,” Mykel said as he approached Agnez.

“What?! What happened?!” Luciel asked.

“I don’t know. I can’t feel their energy anymore,” Mykel looked at Agnez’s chest. “But I can feel the heart beating,” Mykel checked the pulse on the left wrist.

Agnez suddenly gasped for air as she held Mykel’s arm so tightly. She then coughed and threw something out. It was black and slimy. It was the Homunculus that Deviatris put into her body.

“It… hurts…” Agnez said as she tore her chest open.

They watched Agnez pull out the Spirit Vessel, and to their surprise, the Spirit Vessel had been crushed into tiny pieces. She then threw it away and regenerated her chest in an instant.

“You’re dead, how?” Mykel asked.

Agnez smiled and chuckled weakly. “I’m no longer Agnez, and she’s no longer Mazikeen. We have been Synchronized by the system,” Agnez answered as she caught her breath.

“Synchronized?” Mykel looked so confused.

“It appeared… the system offered us to Synchronize my soul and Mazikeen’s soul into a new soul. We are no longer two souls in a single body, we have become one and the system asked for our new existence, a name,” Agnez said.

“What name did you give the system?” Mykel asked.

“Aurea Mazier,” Agnez answered.

Mykel searched for the name in the [Character List], and the name was highlighted since it was a new entry. He looked at the race and it wasn’t Demi-god or Archdemon, it turned into [Arkhon].

“Arkhon,” Mykel said.

“Arkhon? That means the first ruler. It can also mean the first,” Gaia answered.
