Destroying My Own Novel

"You just got here and you already want to leave?" Freyja asked after Mykel told them that he had to go back to Earth.

"The breakout is over and I promised them to celebrate the clearance of the Asmodeus Tower when the breakout is over. It's going to be wild down there, and they're waiting for me at the moment," Mykel answered as he looked at Jeanne talking with Elena at the other table about Sleipnir and Jormungand. "I came here because of Elena's curiosity about Jormungand, so now she got what she wanted, there's nothing else I want to do here," Mykel continued as he looked at all the Gods drinking in the hall of the castle in Asgard.

Freyja crossed her arms and legs as she stared Mykel in the eye. Mykel smirked and suddenly grabbed her wrist which took her by surprise. He then brought her outside the hall without him saying a single word.

"I forgot that you're a shy type. If you want it, just say it," Mykel said as he held Freyja's hand in the hallway. "I'll ask Loki to entertain those two while we are gone," Mykel continued and then suddenly carried Freyja in his arms.

"Auntie, can I have that? The one you're holding," Elena asked and looked at the wine in Jeanne's hand that she had been staring at for a while.

"You're too young... I mean, you're..." Jeanne realized that Elena was using her twenty-year-old body. She couldn't say that Elena was underage, but at the same time, it would be bad if Elena started drinking alcohol. "You're not even a year old, Elena, so I don't think you should drink this," Jeanne said with her eyebrows frowning.

"But father gave me a glass back then in Aunt Beldathiel's castle. So that should be okay since father allowed me to have it," Elena replied and kept staring at the cup in Jeanne's hand.

Jeanne didn't know what to do whether she gave the wine or not. She was afraid that if she didn't give the wine, Elena would throw a tantrum and end up taking the wine forcefully. If she gave Elena the wine, she was afraid that Elena might get addicted to it.

Jeanne looked around since it should be Mykel to decide, but she couldn't find him anywhere. Luckily, Lucifer was there with Nyx and decided to ask for his help.

"It's all right," Lucifer said as he poured a full cup of wine. "Elena is immune to everything that she might not get drunk from drinking it," Lucifer continued as he offered the cup of wine to Elena.

Elena looked so happy and emptied the whole cup in a few seconds. Jeanne was panicking because even though it was just a wine, it was nothing like a wine that the humans made. It was so powerful, refreshing, and sweeter because it was the only way for God to be able to get drunk.

"More please!" Elena offered the cup to Lucifer.
Lucifer and Nyx chuckled, but when Lucifer was about to refill the cup, Jeanne stopped him.

"Okay, I don't think you're helping me here. You're like an uncle who only gives bad influences to their nieces..." Jeanne said as she grabbed the cup from Lucifer's hand. "Let's go somewhere and explore Asgard, Elena. There might be something out there, maybe a powerful creature like Jormungand," Jeanne grabbed Elena's wrist as she stood up.


Nyx chuckled as she watched Jeanne hurriedly bring Elena away from Lucifer.

"You were the one asking the devil's help. What did you expect," Nyx chuckled.

The morning came, and both Jeanne and Elena were sleeping on top of the hill because they had both spent a whole day exploring Asgard. They both were sleeping on Sleipnir's belly because he had fluffy and comfy hair.

Jeanne opened her eyes and saw Mykel talking with Freyja as they both looked at the sunrise. She tried to listen to their conversation, but both of them knew she was awake.

"I heard what happened yesterday," Mykel said as he looked at Elena. "Thank you," Mykel smiled and carried Elena in his arms.

Jeanne knew where Mykel went yesterday and with whom, so she didn't have to ask about it.

"We should go back. Rozan and the others must have been waiting for you," Jeanne stood up and Sleipnir immediately got up and neighed.

"Yes, that's what I'm planning to do, but seeing you both sleeping so soundly I decided to wait until one of you awake," Mykel answered and looked at Jormungand slithering around Elena's neck and down to her shoulder arm.

Jeanne looked at Sleipnir and she wanted to spend more time with him because she enjoyed his companionship.

"You don't have to worry. You can summon him whenever and wherever you are because he already recognizes you as his master. So if you want him to come just call him in your heart as you whistle," Freyja said with her arms crossed with her messy hair and dress because she just got there after knowing Mykel wasn't on the bed with her when she woke up.

Jeanne looked happy and Sleipnir gently bumped his head on her upper arm as if he was telling her that she didn't have to worry. After that, Mykel warped them back to his office with Jormungand still slithered on Elena's arm.

The breakout was over. It took the Fraternity Association to defeat all the demons in District 2 to District 5 in three days. It was a lot faster than before, and there was a piece of news going on that Asmond and all the Fraternity Association members were planning to clear the fortieth floor of the Abaddon Tower.

Enma confirmed it and there wasn't a single Fraternity Association member that stayed behind. All of them were going into the Abaddon Tower to raise their levels and skills.

"Such a shame. I was planning to invite them, but looks like they have their priority straight," Mykel sighed and looked outside the glass wall in the elevator.

"Why would you want to invite them? Are you trying to rub a pinch of salt in their wounds?" Jeanne asked with a curious look.

"No, I genuinely want them to loosen up a bit and enjoy the moment because everyone deserves a small break," Mykel answered as he walked out of the elevator. "Maybe I should bring them something once they're back, something that can make them all stronger," Mykel continued.

Jeanne wasn't satisfied with the answer she had gotten because she knew Mykel very well that in every move he made, he always had an ulterior motive behind it.

"And why do you think they're going to need it?" Jeanne asked as she followed Mykel from behind.

Mykel looked at the black hypercar that he hadn't used for months and had forgotten in the basement parking lot. He opened the driver's seat and then looked at Jeanne before he entered the car.

"Because the next breakout will be different. There's a chance none of them will survive," Mykel answered as he lowered his head to enter the car. "Get in, both of you," Mykel said as he started the engine.

Jeanne looked at the inside of the car, and it was a two-seater. They both wouldn't fit in the car, but then Elena pulled Jeanne's shirt off. She was surprised when she saw Elena in her six-year-old body. They both then entered the car and Elena was sitting on Jeanne's lap.

"What do you mean by that, Mykel?" Jeanne asked with a worried expression as she hugged Elena's body from behind.

"I don't actually know because Luciel keeps it a secret from me as well. She just told me about it last night, and she sounded so excited for the next breakout," Mykel answered.

Mykel didn't lie about Luciel keeping it a secret from him, but he already knew what she was planning to do by reading Luciel's [Story]. He never thought that Mara would go to that extent to allow Luciel to do that, and he himself couldn't wait for the next breakout.

"Whatever it is, I don't think that would be a problem for us," Mykel smiled as he looked Jeanne in the eye.

"If you say so," Jeanne replied as she looked out the window and saw people preparing for the celebration.
