Destroying My Own Novel

After that conversation, Elena turned back into a baby and Mykel had to wrap her in a blanket again and put her back on the trolley. It didn’t take long until Jeanne and the others came in and looked at Elena. They were all so eager to hold her and carry her, but they were too scared since she looked so fragile.

They all left the room to let Lyneth rest, and they all went to the cafeteria to have a cup of coffee. They congratulated Mykel and were happy for him, but the reason why they went to the cafeteria was to discuss what was about to happen.

“We heard from Jeanne, and we still don’t believe that Agnez is no longer with us,” Rozan said and looked at Lillith who was saddened by the fact. “So you guys are leaving tomorrow?” Rozan asked.

“That’s the plan…” Jeanne nodded as she stared blankly at the floor.

“We can’t do anything, and we can only wish you all the best,” Sven said as he looked at Jeanne and sat next to Lillith. He wanted to comfort Lillith, but he didn’t know how.

“So there will be no birthday party for little miss, huh?” Gunnar asked as he fiddled with his cup.

Everyone went silent and listened to the murmurings of the people in the cafeteria. It wasn’t the first time for them to be in a dangerous situation, but this time it was different. Jeanne, Aurea, and Mykel were going to be on their own mission to survive.

“We can have a party, just us and Lyneth tonight. Can you rent a place for us, Edith?” Mykel asked.

Edith nodded with understanding and immediately grabbed her phone to make a phone call. But then Mykel stopped her because he knew the right place for the occasion.

“Why are you guys so gloomy? Did you guys forget?” Mykel asked. Everyone looked at him with confused looks on their faces. “Remember about Edith’s vision. If the three of us failed, the vision wouldn’t exist in the first place,” Mykel explained as he looked outside the glass wall.

“Right… How could we forget!” Rozan said and he chuckled in relief.

Mykel already knew that everything would be fine. All he had to think about was how to make it happen, and so far, he might be on the right track. He never liked his own fate being set in stone, but it appeared the vision was guiding him to his own desire and goal.

“Stop being gloomy already. Tonight I order you all to get wasted and just enjoy this moment,” Mykel said and emptied his cup of coffee. “All of you should go back home and prepare, we are going to have a feast with the Gods,” Mykel tossed the cup to the bin and then left.

The sun was setting and Lyneth was allowed to go back home with Elena. The doctor was surprised at how strong Elena’s body was and that it was okay for her to leave. But she reminded Lyneth and Mykel to immediately go back if Elena’s condition changed.

“We are going to have a feast? Where?” Lyneth asked as she breastfed Elena.

“The castle, with the Gods and all my Recipients. I want everyone to be there to see Elena,” Mykel answered as he looked at his wardrobe. “You want to dress up? I can hold Elena while you’re preparing,” Mykel looked at her over his shoulder.

“Let me finish breastfeeding her first,” Lyneth answered.

Lyneth gave Elena to Mykel after she was done feeding her. She then went to the bathroom to take a bath. Mykel knew she was going to take a while to prepare, so he brought Elena to the rooftop.

“(Father… I’m going to puke… I can’t stand the taste of breast milk)” Elena said as she tried to hold it in place.

“(I’ll let you drink the best wine during the party. In exchange, you have to endure it for a year)” Mykel said as he chuckled.

“(I have to endure this for a whole year?)” Elena frowned as she looked at Mykel pitifully. “(Father, I can’t do this…)” Elena started to cry.

Mykel couldn’t stop chuckling because no matter how old Elena could be, her mind was still that of a child. She was mature and immature at the same time depending on the situation.

“(I’ll try and talk to Lyneth that it’s unnecessary for you to consume breast milk. But aren’t you worried? Producing breast milk is painful to your mother if you don’t drink it because it hurt her breasts)” Mykel said as he opened the rooftop balcony.

“(Really? Then if I don’t drink it mother will suffer?)” Elena asked and she sounded so worried.

“(Yes)” Mykel answered.

“(Then father has to help me drink mother’s milk)” Elena said.

“(Sure)” Mykel answered with a smile.

The two of them spent their quality time together on the rooftop with nothing but clouds and chill winds. It was short, but both of them had fun talking to each other and knew each other.

“Are you ready to leave?” Mykel asked as he looked at Lyneth in her red tight dress and wore black high heels. “It’s been a while since you dressed up like that, isn’t it?” Mykel held Elena and showed her Lyneth’s dress.

“My breasts hurt… Should I wear something more comfortable?” Lyneth asked as she massaged her Brest and suddenly her dress on the breasts spot became wet. “It’s leaking… I’m going to change,” Lyneth said as she walked back to the bedroom.

“Just use the gown that Gaia made for you. It has the ability to keep you warm and dry. You don’t have to wear a bra as well,” Mykel said as he watched Lyneth undress.

After Lyneth solved the problem by wearing the gown that Gaia gave her, they warped to the castle. The castle had been decorated and it didn’t look gloomy and eerie anymore. It was all thanks to Beldathiel, Hera, and Gaia who changed the whole place into a paradise.

Mykel went and picked up everyone from their original world. Unfortunately, Luciel couldn’t attend since she was forbidden to enter the invaded world, but all the Demon Princesses were there. Angra and Spenta were there as well, and it was as Elena said, she was trying to subdue them with her [Quintekinesis] skill.

They were gathered in the hall and with Dionysus’s help, everyone enjoyed the party to its fullest with the table never empty of delicious food and wine. Mykel forgot when the last time he enjoyed a party, and to see his own children playing in the background felt like he had found something that he never thought he would enjoy.

Hera introduced Sasha in her six-year-old form to Lyneth and the others who didn’t know whose daughter she was. Rozan and the others were so jealous that Mykel laid his hands on those beautiful Goddesses.

Sasha looked at Elena and she looked so happy to be able to meet her half-sister. Elena wanted to play with her, but she didn’t want Lyneth to know that she could manipulate her appearance like Sasha.

The full moon could be seen from the garden, and everyone was wasted as Mykel ordered. The only ones left that were still sober were the Gods, Jeanne, Aurea, and the Demon Princesses. They were all still enjoying the wine outside since the castle was filled with drunkards.

“She’s asleep?” Hera asked as soon as Mykel came out. “Is that…”

“Yes, she’s asleep, and yes, she’s Elena,” Mykel looked at Elena in her six-year-old body and held his left hand. He promised to let her play with Sasha, and he fulfilled his promise by letting her drink a glass of wine before coming out.

“Tomorrow is the day, or two hours from now to be exact,” Nephilim said as she looked at her wristwatch. “I might need to get some of your skills, Mykel,” Nephilim looked at Mykel as she pulled out her book.

Mykel hummed with understanding.

“She’s like a bottomless source of energy,” Gaia said as she looked at Elena chasing Sasha. “With that amount of energy, she can create not just life, but a new world with millions of lives in it,” Gaia continued.

“Is she really that powerful?” Aurea asked as she sat on top of the stone table.

Mykel called Elena and he wanted to show them her [Quentikensis] skill. He tried to lift her up by using [Telekinesis], but her body was unaffected by it. He then used [Gyrokinesis] to make the gravity around her as heavy as he could, but it also didn’t affect her.

“Do you think she can handle your fire?” Loki asked as he looked at Mykel.

Mykel wrapped his right hand with [Sacrilege Flame], and then he looked at Elena as he offered his hand. “Do you think you can handle this fire, Elena?” Mykel asked.

Elena didn’t hesitate to touch his hand, and to his surprise, the fire got extinguished. Everyone was speechless and couldn’t believe it.

“What about your Judgment skill?” Hera asked.

Mykel activated his [Arcana Judgement] skill and everyone fell down to their knees. Elena was standing there and didn’t even feel anything as she looked at everyone struggling and suffering. He then deactivated it because he didn’t have the heart to look at Sasha crying.

“That should be enough to prove that she’s immune to everything,” Mykel said as he picked up Sasha to comfort her.

“If she’s immune to everything…” Loki looked up and noticed the world had been protected by [World Protection]. “She can be a huge help for us in fighting her, right?” Loki asked as he looked Mykel in the eye.

“Yes, she might be the only one who can fight her right now, but she’s still inexperience,” Mykel answered as he stroked Elena’s hair gently.
