Destroying My Own Novel

All the Gods were looking at the notification with their eyes and mouths wide open. The one who was shocked down to the core was Nyx, and she was so confused why Lucifer would step down from his position. She tried to talk to him but she didn’t hear any answer from him at all, and it made her so anxious.

Lyneth was laying on her bed while Gaia and the other Goddesses were staring at each other in disbelief. She was curious why they all made that kind of expression, and when she asked them, they were ignoring her as if they tried to process what had just happened to them.

Mara tried to take Lucifer’s soul and commanded him to go back to her side, but it didn’t work. She was so frustrated that she blew up a star and created a supernova with her own clouds, and the bright light revealed her appearance and the crown veil on top of her head.

Mara didn’t wear anything to cover her torso, only her long silky black hair that covered her breasts. She had long, floating cloud-like black cloth that she wrapped around her forearms up to her elbows. The fabric also wrapped her hips from behind and let it loose down to her heels. She had ashen skin and black eyes with orange pupils that looked like a black hole that would suck anything inside.

Mara stared at the supernova that was happening and swallowed all the debris, the explosion, and even the light by her clouds.

“Mykel Alester,” Mara said under her breath as the supernova and explosion were still happening inside her clouds.

Mykel looked up since they felt like seeing a faint beam of light coming from the sky, but it was gone when he checked. He thought something was coming down to attack them, and the only one who would do that was Mara.

“Mykel… is this…” Luciel sounded so anxious.

Mykel turned around and saw Luciel had six pairs of colorful wings on her back. She was shocked by the powers that she possessed, and she stared at her own hands.

“Yes, each pair of wings represent one of the Celestials. Now that Lucifer is gone, the seal is broken as I said back then,” Mykel answered.

Luciel looked over her shoulder and saw her wings spread wide open. They almost looked like fairy wings, but they were feathers. They were translucent and absorbed quite a lot of light. It was beautiful, and it was the first time for Mykel since in the original story, both Lucifer nor Luciel didn’t manage to show them. He could only imagine it in his head when he wrote the story.

Mykel checked Luciel’s [Character] status screen once again to see what changed.

Mykel saw she already sat in the top 3 even though her [Authority] level was still 1. It was because all her skills were Celestial’s skills, and all her skills were [Rank] 1. She also possessed those powerful [Kinesis] skills which affected the system’s calculation.

Mykel realized that Luciel was too 3, and the last time he checked, he was ranked 4, and Nyx was higher than him. He then checked his own status screen to see what his current [Rank] was.

“Mykel, is this the power of his siblings?” Luciel asked as she looked at each [Kinesis] power that she had.

“Yes, seven in total except the Elementumkinesis since all of his siblings including him have it. Those seven skills are their most powerful skills,” Mykel answered as he closed the screen in front of him.

“If his siblings are this powerful, how did he kill all of them? I don’t think all the Demon Kings could kill one of them even if they worked together,” Luciel was confused as she looked at Mykel. “No matter how I think about it, it would be impossible for him to kill them all on his own,” Luciel stared at her status screen with her eyes squinted.

“It’s simple, with this,” Mykel said as he stared at Luciel’s left hand and activated [Nihilikinesis]. Luciel’s left hand disappeared, and it was like her hand had been erased from existence. There was no blood, no scratch, and no wound at all.

Luciel was so confused at first until she looked at her left hand since Mykel had been staring at it. She was shocked when she lost her hand, and it regenerated immediately.

“What was that?” Luciel asked as she rubbed her left hand and clenched it.

“Nihilikinesis. It removes anything from existence. He used it on his siblings by removing their limbs, head, and heart before he killed them with his sword,” Mykel answered. “Unfortunately, since he sacrificed half of his power to create you, he was basically half Celestial, and he couldn’t control the power he possessed. If he used it, he had a twenty percent chance of success or his own existence would disappear,” Mykel explained.

“If that’s the case, how could she fight off that skill if he could erase an existence?” Luciel asked with curiosity.

“Because the system favors her. She’s protected by the system and that includes erasing her existence,” Mykel answered.

Luciel hummed with understanding and realized how powerful Lucifer was.

“Speaking of him. Is he really gone?” Luciel asked, and she sounded a bit sad in her tone. It didn’t matter if Lucifer wanted her dead and used her because he was still her father and the one who brought her to life.

Mykel looked at his [Devil Possession] skill, and it was similar to what Agnez had after Mazikeen possessed her body. He activated the skill and wondered what would happen to him. It felt like someone was pulling his shoulder from the back, and someone walked past him.

“I’m still here, Luciel,” Lucifer said and stared at Luciel.

Luciel took a step back and was startled when she heard Lucifer’s voice from Mykel’s mouth. She didn’t know what to do, but Lucifer chuckled softly as he smiled.

“I’m living inside Mykel’s body now, or to be exact my existence is one with him, but my soul got devoured by his soul. he did that to prevent Mara from taking my soul. It was Mykel’s idea, and I have seen and heard everything from his memories,” Lucifer answered and his expression was blank as if he was still in shock about something.

“Father, I…” Luciel said.

“You don’t have to say anything because I know everything now, and I don’t have any ill feelings toward you or Mykel,” Lucifer answered as he moved Mykel’s hands. “In fact, I think I should have done this way earlier because I feel like I’m in a place where I should be,” Lucifer continued with his flat tone.

Luciel didn’t know what to say and just listened to Lucifer’s words.

“Don’t you have something important to do now, Luciel?” Lucifer asked, but Luciel tilted her head a bit and looked confused. “You have my other skill, Infernakinesis. You should be able to give your sisters their powers back since you already know it allows you to manipulate demonic power,” Lucifer explained.

“Yes, that’s what Mykel wants,” Luciel answered.

“There’s something that I want you to know about Mykel, Luciel,” Lucifer said.

“What is it, father?” Luciel asked and she looked anxious.

“Nevermind. It’s better for him to tell you about it himself,” Lucifer said, and then he closed his eyes to let Mykel take his body back.
