Destroying My Own Novel

Chapter 364 363: You Decide.



Dozens of notifications from Mara requesting the system to summon Mykel to the Void Cloud appeared right in front of Mykel. He casually denied the request as he kept pressing the sword deeper and deeper into Lucifer\'s chest.

"Becoming Mara\'s pawn? Really?" Mykel asked with his face right in front of Lucifer.

Lucifer\'s body was slowly being devoured by the [Sacrilege Flame], but his left hand kept pressing the notification to heal his wound. He was in a similar situation as Mykel back then when Odin struck his heart with Gungnir.

"Are you really that surprised? Or are you just in pain? I can\'t tell," Mykel asked as his own hand started to melt from the flame. "Are you both really that desperate to kill me?" Mykel used the system as well to heal himself.

Mykel only had thirty minutes before his [Judgement] skill ran out, but he wasn\'t worried about it since thirty minutes was a lot of time. He knew that Lucifer didn\'t have unlimited wealth like him, and Lucifer would die before thirty minutes, especially with the [Sacrilege Flame] devouring his body endlessly.

"H-how..." Lucifer asked.

"How did I know? Didn\'t you both already know the answer? I\'m the one who\'s favored by the system," Mykel answered as he removed his hand from the sword.

"Who... are... you," Lucifer asked again.

Mykel smirked as he walked away to pick up Luciel. He carried Luciel in his arms, and then he walked back to Lucifer.

"Since we are in your world, Mara is planning to come and interfere. So, let\'s go somewhere where she can\'t reach us," Mykel said and warped the three of them to Earth, the island where he and Zherlthsh had their second battle.

Mykel carefully put Luciel down as Lucifer was groaning and grunting in pain. He was planning to buy Mara time, but Mykel could see through him like a book.

"You were asking me who I am? How many times do I have to tell you that you\'re a part of me," Mykel answered as he looked down at Lucifer. "You\'re using my face, kneeled before her, and gave your soul to her? Pathetic," Mykel said as he deepened the sword into Lucifer\'s chest.

"(Let\'s talk like this,)" Mykel said as he stared Lucifer in the eye. "(I\'m not just someone who\'s favored by the system. I\'m the one who created the system. I\'m the one who created every single being that\'s dead or alive, including her,)" Mykel smiled as he pressed down the sword.

Lucifer screamed his lungs out as the pain got worse. His blood started to come out of his mouth, and it was glowing white like white paint.

"(What do you mean by that?! You\'re the one who created us?!)" Lucifer asked and his voice was trembling in pain.

"(It all came from a piece of paper and a pen. I\'m the one who created everyone\'s story, and I\'m the one who ended the story,)" Mykel answered as he dragged the sword down and cut Lucifer\'s chest wide open. "(Your story has been decided from the very beginning,)" Mykel pulled out the sword and stabbed Lucifer right back into his chest.

Luciel was suffering and struggling from the [Judgment] aura, but she couldn\'t help but realize that both of them became so quiet. She realized that they might be talking directly into each other\'s minds, and she was curious about what they were talking about.

"(So, you\'re a being that\'s higher than us?") Lucifer asked as he groaned and coughed blood.

"(In this world, yes. In my original world? I\'m just an ordinary human, but I was above everyone else,)" Mykel answered. "(Now you know why I know everything, and no matter how hard you try to stop me, I know a lot of ways to become stronger,)" Mykel continued.

"(That doesn\'t make any sense at all,)" Lucifer said as his eyes were covered with his own blood that he couldn\'t see anything but white.

"(That doesn\'t matter since I\'m here now, and I can change the story as I please,)" Mykel answered.

Lucifer was suddenly taken aback by something, and his eyes were focused somewhere else. Mykel looked at him and glanced his eyes to where Lucifer was staring at. He then chuckled as he looked at Lucifer.

"What\'s the matter? You\'re running out of Arcana Coins already?" Mykel asked as he smirked mockingly.

Lucifer gritted his teeth and realized he was running out of [Arcana Coins]. He used to have more than fifty billion [Arcana Coins], but the system had been asking him for half a billion [Arcana Coins] every second.

"(The moment you\'re out of Arcana Coins, you know that your soul will be hers, and you will live the rest of your life in the void,)" Mykel said as he squinted his eyes. "(But, I can still save your soul, if you\'re interested,)" Mykel walked away since Lucifer\'s whole body started to get devoured by the flame.

"(That\'s not possible. I have made a pact with her, and my soul will be taken the moment I die here,)" Lucifer answered as the flames started to devour his face.

"(But you can leave your soul before I kill you. Like how Mazikeen did,)" Mykel explained as he watched Lucifer\'s body melt.

"(You want me to enter your body, is that what you\'re trying to say?)" Lucifer asked.

"(Yes, your soul will live inside my body, and she can\'t do anything about it since I\'m no longer bound to her stupid law of the world,)" Mykel answered. "(You\'re running out of time. The decision is yours,") Mykel sat down and enjoyed the view.

Lucifer chuckled even though he was on the brink of his death.

"(In the end, you still need the power that I have. You always get what you want, I think this would be the first time you won\'t get it,)" Lucifer said arrogantly.

"(Don\'t be stupid, Lucifer. Even if I don\'t get it, it\'s not really important to me. What matter is the seal you put in Luciel\'s body. The moment you die, she will have all six of your siblings\' powers, and half of yours. Why would I bother wanting to have your worthless soul?)" Mykel replied arrogantly. "(She\'s mine now, and I can make her loyal to me even if it\'s against her own will. Remember, I can rewrite the story as I want. You can enjoy your time being useless and regret your decision for eternity,)" Mykel continued.

"(I\'m doing this out of mercy, and I don\'t really like the idea of seeing a part of me being Mara\'s servant. But, if that\'s what you want, you can go ahead and enjoy it,") Mykel said.

"(I will give my soul, but I need to know what\'s your purpose here,") Lucifer said as his face was no longer recognizable, and his voice was no longer could be heard since his lungs and throat had melted.

"(I\'m the one who created this story. Isn\'t it obvious that I want to be the one who controls it. There\'s also someone that I want to see suffer,") Mykel answered.

"(Someone you want to see suffer. Who that might be,") Lucifer chuckled weakly. "(Why is my life ended up like this. A Celestial being who\'s desperate of getting mercy,") Lucifer said.

Mykel didn\'t say anything as he watched the remaining parts of Lucifer\'s body being devoured by the flame.

"(Taking your side sound more promising. I will move my soul to your body, Mykel,") Lucifer said.

Mykel walked toward Lucifer and stood in front of the fierce flame. "(I knew you more than anyone else,") Mykel said as he deactivated his [Judgement] skill.

Lucifer could feel his body start to resist the flame, and didn\'t hesitate to leave his body. He immediately possessed Mykel\'s body, but his soul was devoured by Mykel\'s body in an instant.

Mykel fell to his knees and felt as if his inside was being torn into pieces. It was pretty rough for the first few seconds, but he started to get used to it. He stood up and saw a notification in front of him.

[The head of The Devil\'s Arcana faction had stepped down from his position. Lucifer has decided to let go of his position as the head of the Devil Arcana]
