Destroying My Own Novel

Jeanne was playing with Elena on the other side of the Hall with Lyneth, Nagy, and Enma. She oftentimes stole a glance at Mykel whenever he started to speak because she was curious, but at the same time, she didn't want to hear it.

"Jeanne, you're acting really weird. Is there something you want to say to Mykel?" Lyneth asked as she carried Elena in her arms.

Jeanne looked at Lyneth as she shook her head and then said, "No, it's nothing. I'm just wondering what's he thinking and what's in his head right now."

"You want to know what father is thinking? I can tell you, but you have to give me something in return," Elena said as she looked at Jeanne.

Jeanne chuckled as she walked toward Elena and whispered something into her left ear. Elena giggled because it tickled, and then she nodded her head in agreement which made Lyneth curious about what Jeanne said to Elena.

"Father is very happy, but he's also feeling nervous and a bit scared," Elena answered after she used her [Special Bond] skill on Mykel.

Jeanne and Lyneth were confused by what Elena meant by Mykel being nervous and scared. Scared wasn't something that he would feel, not in a million years, or so Jeanne thought.


"Scared? Why?" Jeanne asked with a worried expression.

"Who's scared?" Beldathiel asked as she walked toward Jeanne with Anathiel behind her.

Elena jumped down from Lyneth's arms and immediately jumped into Beldathiel's arms. She immediately hugged her and squeezed Beldathiel's squishy body and rubbed her face against Beldathiel's neck.

Jeanne looked at all the Demon Princesses and all the Demon Kings were summoned to the Hall of Arcana. She didn't know why they were summoned, but she believed that Mykel was already planning on attacking those worlds.

"It's nothing," Jeanne answered with a smile. "By the way, why are you here? Did Mykel summon you here?" Jeanne asked as she watched Elena play with Beldathiel's cheeks.
"Yes, we just heard what's going on here and we are going to explore the worlds that exist in this vast universe. Now that I think about it, I heard that you're not interested in this and didn't want to join in," Beldathiel said as she looked at Jeanne with a curious look. "Is there a reason why you don't want to join in this new game that Mykel proposed?" Beldathiel asked with her cheeks being pulled by Elena.

"Look who's talking. I'm more surprised that you're fine with it knowing that you would prefer to laze around and do nothing," Jeanne pointed out as she chuckled and looked at Beldathiel in disbelief.

"What's wrong with it? As long as it's for Mykel's sake, do I really want to say no to it?" Beldathiel asked as she tilted her head and looked at Jeanne with her eyebrows raised. "I think you're the one who knows the most about it because we both follow him by choice, right?" Beldathiel pointed out.

Jeanne stood frozen in place and looked on as Mykel spoke with the Gods and the Demon Kings. She slowly made her way toward Mykel, remembering her wish and realizing that he had opened his heart. She had to do whatever it took to steal it from him.

"We're going to do the same thing, but this time the tower is..." Luciel was explaining things to the Gods when Jeanne suddenly walked past her and the Demon Princesses and Kings.

They all looked at Jeanne with curious looks and then they looked at her standing next to Mykel. Even Mykel was curious why she suddenly made her way to his side so suddenly.

"I'm joining the game," Jeanne said as she looked at them.

Everyone raised their eyebrows and was surprised by Jeanne's sudden change of mind. But they were glad that she decided to join in because it would be more fun to have someone else enjoy the game. Simply said, the more the merrier.

"Where was I?" Luciel raised her eyebrows. "Right, the tower. As I said earlier, the tower will be placed in all over those worlds, and we will put them in a trial just like how it was from the first to the tenth floor," Luciel said as she looked at Mykel. "That being said, for each world that has finished the trial, a portal will appear to connect those worlds who have achieved that, is that what you were saying?" Luciel asked.

"That's right. We will implement Achievement and Ranking on those who thrive on greatness. To put it simply, first come, first serve. Whoever cleared the trial first will be gifted with everything they wish for, and with that being said, they will start to realize how Gods and Goddesses favor them the most. It will make them think highly of themselves and become arrogant," Mykel explained as he looked at them with a smirk.

"When it comes to manipulating human's feelings, emotions, and ego, there's nobody better than him. We can rely on how terrifying he is in knowing human inside out," Bhatmelec said as she chuckled and looked at Mykel from behind.

The meeting lasted for hours until Mykel explained everything and made sure there wouldn't be any loopholes. He didn't want those mortals to find a loophole that could abuse the system and would bite back at the Gods.

They were amazed by how thoroughly Mykel was and how he managed to create something new on the spot. The answer to that was simple, he was an author and he read so many novels and used those ideas to create something new.

"Now that it's done, should we pay them all a visit then?" Mykel asked as he stood up and stretched his neck.

"All of them? One by one?" Lucifer asked.

"Why should we? Let's gather all of them at once since we are going to kill them anyway," Mykel answered with a smile and then snapped his fingers.

Everyone was teleported to the Void Realm and they were terrified when they felt the overwhelming aura that the clouds produced. They reminded them of Mara and it gave them chills down their spines, but then they saw thousands of Gods and Goddesses on the other side.

"Where am I?!" A man with half of his body covered in silk with so many accessories on his body. "Who are you?" He looked at his surroundings and saw different people in weird attire.

They all looked so confused and stared at each other with suspicion because they had never seen each other before. They all immediately made space for each other and were wary of each other because they could sense each other's power. They all had a feeling that they weren't supposed to be there and that they shouldn't be getting along so well.

"Move! You're getting in my way!" A Goddess wore nothing but a tight gold fit dress said. She started to show off her power and made herself covered in gold and then punched the Gods around her that was enough to send them flying. "I said it, get out of my way!" She said as she grew bigger and bigger.

The Gods and Goddesses started to show each other dominance, and some of them recognized specific Gods who were superior to them. Some of the more confident Gods and Goddesses managed to dominate those who were around them, and those who were less confident did not wish to get involved.

All the Gods and Goddesses were trying to kill each other, but they were strong enough to recover as long as they still had power inside them. They were trying to prove themselves who were befitting to be standing on top, but then they felt a tremendous amount of power and aura from the distance. They all stopped attacking each other as the aura started to shroud them and made them tremble in fear.

"What a nostalgic scenery," Nyx said as she landed near them and chuckled mischievously.

"Are you the one who brought us all here?" The Golden Goddess asked as she looked down at Nyx.

Nyx raised her eyebrows and chuckled again as she covered her mouth with the back of her right hand.

"Looks like you're looking down on all of us. Die," The Golden Goddess said as she slammed Nyx with her giant hands. She then realized that her attack didn't work on Nyx.

"I would love to say that it was me who brought you all here, but I'm nothing but just a follower," Nyx answered as she held the giant hands with her left hand.

All the Gods and Goddesses were confused by what Nyx had just said, and then they felt a different level of aura that was enough to make them all tremble in fear. They all looked at the clouds that blocked their vision, and then they saw Mykel come out of it with Lucifer, Bhatmelec, Luciel, Jeanne, and the others.

"Enjoying your stay here already?" Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.
