Destroying My Own Novel

They were so terrified and nervous when they saw all the Gods and Goddesses disappear before their eyes. They didn’t know what had happened to those Gods because they couldn’t feel their presence anymore. To think Mykel could erase their existence instantly made them realize how powerful he had become.

“Mykel… what’s happening…” Hera asked in fear.

Zeus and the others were looking at Hera because they were surprised that she dared to speak to him. Aphrodite and Athena who sat next to her looked at her in disbelief and worried about her.

“I removed their existence because they knew who I was and remembered me clearly. And yet, they dared to raise their hands and voices to fight against me. I don’t need Gods like them in this place,” Mykel answered. “Don’t be scared, you should remember me now,” Mykel said as he looked at them and commanded the system to recover their memories about him.

They felt sick and confused when they remembered everything and what they had done to Mykel. They wondered what had happened to them, but they realized they had lost their memories about him when Mara summoned them to the Temple of Triumph.

“It was me who did it. I erased my existence inside your memories to bait Mara in,” Mykel answered as he looked at Hera and the others. “Now that she’s dead, there’s nothing else to be worried about,” Mykel continued.

They looked at each other and realized he had just erased the existence of most of the Gods. Those Gods and Goddesses were the sons, daughters, brothers, or sisters of the remaining Gods in the hall. They didn’t know what to feel, angry or sad, but one thing was for sure only Mykel could bring them all back.

“What are you planning to do now?” Luciel asked as she looked at all the Gods who were still in shock.

“We do what I proposed a long time ago, a new game,” Mykel answered and looked at Luciel.

“But you cleared all the towers. How are we going to do this now?” Luciel asked with her eyebrows furrowed.

“That won’t be a problem because I have become the owner of the system now. I can do whatever I want and nothing can stop me anymore,” Mykel answered as he fixed his sitting.

Hera and the others were looking at each other, and they couldn’t believe that Mykel owned the system. Freyja was the strongest Goddess, and yet she couldn’t even go against the system. Hera and Nyx remembered the truth and so they stayed quiet about it and pretended to be surprised like the others.

“This new game, how are you going to start it?” Hera asked as she looked at Elena who wandered around the hall with Lyneth.

“How many worlds do you know that exist in this whole universe?” Mykel asked as he looked at them.

The only ones who had the most time to observe as a Constellation and scout for Awakeners were Loki and Hermes. They both looked at each other and tried to share their knowledge of the universe.

“Four hundred, or maybe five hundred,” Loki answered as he looked at Hermes and Mykel back and forth.

Mykel, Bhatmelec, and Lucifer chuckled because those numbers weren’t even a tenth of the worlds that existed. Loki and Hermes raised their eyebrows and looked at them with confused looks.

“There are at least ten thousand worlds that exist. The universe is expanding and that also means the number of worlds will also increase,” Mykel answered as he stood up and looked at everyone. “The most interesting part of it is that each world has its own Gods that rule over those worlds. The Gods and Goddesses that you don’t know about,” Mykel pointed out.

They were dumbfounded by what they heard, and they wondered what kind of Gods ruled over those worlds. But then they all looked at Mykel and realized why he suddenly mentioned the Gods and Goddesses of those worlds.

“Mykel, don’t tell me…” Nyx said as she slowly stood up.

“That’s right, we are going to invade their worlds and take those worlds from them. How are we going to do that? We are going to use her to invade those worlds,” Mykel answered as he pointed at Luciel. “Of course, their Gods won’t let it happen, but they won’t be strong enough to stop Luciel and I can guarantee you that. That’s where you come and offer them help,” Mykel explained and looked at the others.

“I see, then what? Are we still going to proceed with the plan that you told us about? Sending them all to Gehenna and letting them all fight each other as they tried to devour all the opportunity?” Freyja asked.

“Yes, and not only that, we are going to connect all those worlds together not only through a tower, but through portals. We will connect them all and let them explore the universe through them,” Mykel answered as he looked at Rozan and Sven who already knew about it. “We are going to control all the existing worlds and realms that exist in this universe,” Mykel pointed out with a serious expression.

Mykel told them that they didn’t have to watch from space as they did in the previous game. He allowed all of them to go down there and get involved in everything, and that if they wanted to. He was also planning on changing the system and how it would grow stronger.

He was trying to create a game where there wouldn’t be an end, and as long as there was someone who moved the pawn around, it would keep going. Hera and the others found it interesting and intrigued by it, but Jeanne, Gunnar, and some of them didn’t think they would join in. They weren’t interested and didn’t think they would fit in on joining the game.

“No, I’m an emotional guy. I’m not interested in doing that kind of thing. Although, it sounds nice to be able to travel from one world to another. I think I’m going to join just for that,” Gunnar answered.

“It’s up to you whether you want to join or not, but since you have become a God, you can participate whenever you want. You can become a benevolent God that helps them, or you can be a watcher. Either way, that’s your choice, and you can even pretend to be a normal person,” Mykel pointed out as he looked at Gunnar, Vincze, Nagy, and Gerrard. “You can do whatever you want, and nobody is going to stop you,” Mykel continued.

Jeanne walked to the middle and asked, “Is there a reason that you want to keep doing this, Mykel? Aren’t you tired and sick of it?”

“You can ask that question to the Gods that are behind me right now,” Mykel pointed his thumb at the table behind him.

Jeanne and the others looked at Hera and the others who were sitting at the table.

“What do you define a God, Jeanne?” Hera asked as she looked at Jeanne and let Elena sit on her lap.

“A being that has control over humans and decides their fate?” Jeanne answered.

“That’s right, so what’s the point if we as a God don’t have a mortal to control over? It’s like having a lot of wealth but doesn’t know what to spend it on because there’s nothing you can buy, it’s pointless,” Hera pointed out.

“We all here have had to go through hardships to be able to be here. As a living being, don’t you want to be superior to others? All of you had been through the same thing, and now you want to let it go to waste?” Loki asked. “You’re too young to understand, and you’ll think the same thing once you have been living for thousands of years like us,” Loki continued as he looked at Elena.

“I’m not asking you to join, but this is the plan that I have for these Gods. I promise them this, and I’m a man of my own words,” Mykel said as he looked at Jeanne.

Jeanne nodded her head with understanding and decided to stay quiet and let Mykel do his work.

“So, Mykel. These Gods that you spoke of, how are they?” Nyx asked with her head resting on her fist.

“They’re pathetic. They’re nothing compared to all of you,” Mykel answered.

All of the Gods looked at each other and started smirking and smiling.
