Destroying My Own Novel-Novel

Mykel looked at how scared and nervous Hera was. She wasn't afraid of the baby inside her, but because Mykel said he didn't want to have any more of them. Although she was scared, she didn't want to kill the gift that Mykel gave her.

"Why are you scared, Hera?" Mykel asked as he put his left hand on her cheek.

"I'm scared of the decision you're going to make," Hera answered and she shed a tear down to her chin.

Mykel wrapped her right arm around Hera's neck, and then slowly put her head on his shoulder again.

"What are you talking about, Hera? Didn't I tell you? I owe you for helping me back then, and I'll not forget it," Mykel said quietly as he rested his head on top of hers. "If you want it, you can have it. I'm not going to take what's yours," Mykel continued and then kissed her forehead.

Hera sniffled and hugged Mykel so tightly as she hummed with a big smile on her face. Suddenly Lillith groaned and slowly opened her eyes.

"Ugh, you guys are so noisy..." Lillith said, but her voice wasn't hers, it was Lilith's voice. "I have been listening to your conversation, and I'm so jealous," Lilith continued and she sounded so irritated.

"I never thought it would be this hard to possess a body, how the hell is she able to resist my power?" Lilith asked as she tried to move Lillith's body, but Mykel stopped her from moving since Lillith's condition was so weak.

It didn't take long until Lillith took back her body and fell unconscious again. Mykel then looked at Lillith's skills, and it was there among thirty skills that she had, the [Demonic Possession] skill. It was a success, but the problem was Lillith's health was declining and showed no progress in recovery.

Mykel thought that something was wrong because Agnez wasn't like that before. Even back then, Agnez's skills were a lot lower and weaker than Lillith's current skills could win against Mazikeen. He then remembered that it wasn't exactly the same as back then because Zherlthsh and Vixelleth took Mazikeen's power.

Mykel didn't hesitate to bring Beldathiel back to the castle even though she might be having quality time with her father and Luciel. Beldathiel appeared right behind Mykel, and it was the second time she was summoned unnoticed. When she wanted to complain, she then looked at Lillith and immediately knew the reason Mykel summoned her.

"Why is Lilith inside Lillith's body?" Beldathiel asked.

"I'll tell you later, but I need you to take Lilith's demonic power away from her," Mykel answered.

Beldathiel walked up to the bed and lay down next to Lillith. She then hugged Lillith like a body pillow, and then she closed her eyes. She was taking all of Lilith's powers in just a minute, and then she opened her eyes as she removed her arms and legs from Lillith.

"Are you trying to recreate what happened to Agnez and Mazikeen?" Beldathiel asked and stared at Mykel judgingly.

"Yes, but that's not my goal. My goal is to separate two souls after one of them got consumed. You must have heard it from Luciel, right? What I'm planning to do with Agnez and Mazikeen?" Mykel explained.

Beldathiel looked at Lillith's condition and could hear her breathing was a bit relaxed. Her expression looked a lot more peaceful as if the pain inside her body had been lifted up.

"How are you going to do that?" Beldathiel asked.

"You'll see, with everyone. I'm not confident, but I believe it will work," Mykel answered.

Beldathiel looked at Mykel and Hera, and then she looked at Hera who had been holding his hand. She also put them in front of her belly and wondered if she was pregnant, but she didn't ask because it wasn't her business.

Two days had passed, and Lillith had recovered thanks to Beldathiel. The problem was how to upgrade the [Demonic Possession] skill to [Demonic Manifestation] because there was no sign of it.

Agnez had been helping Mykel and gave him some insight into the matter based on her experience. It was as Mykel expected that she was resisting it at first before she got the [Demonic Possession] skill. After bonding with Mazikeen and finding out they had similarities, the skill got upgraded as soon as Beldathiel gave Mazikeen's powers back.

"Mykel, are you busy?" Jeanne asked as she stood at the door of Mykel's office. She looked at Agnez and Lillith was discussing it with Mykel at his desk.

"Come in," Mykel said as he stood up and then walked to the couch since there weren't enough seats at the desk.

Jeanne sat down right in front of Mykel, and then Lillith and Agnez sat next to her. She was curious why they both sandwiched her.

"Mykel, are we going to do it as soon as you successfully separate Agnez and Mazikeen's souls?" Jeanne asked.

"Yes, and at that time you will become a Goddess," Mykel answered. "Are you nervous?" Mykel looked Jeanne in the eye.

Jeanne didn't answer Mykel's questions, and it made Agnez and Lillith judgingly stare at her from the corner of their eyes. She could feel their sharp gazes, the three of them, and then she took a deep breath and shook her head.

"No, I'm just thinking if I'm going to be ready to become a God, and to become Hanessi's vessel," Jeanne said as she looked at her waist even though she didn't bring the sword.

"You're not the only one who's nervous, Jeanne," Agnez said with her arms and legs crossed. "Do you think I chose this life? I did this because I believe in him. He chose us for a reason, and to be precise, we belong to him. There's no need to be worried about it because we are irreplaceable and I know it that much," Agnez stared Mykel in the eye.

Mykel smiled and chuckled.

"Agnez is right about everything, but even though you belong to me doesn't mean I'm going to harm you without your consent," Mykel said.

"But you used that powerful and terrifying aura on us so many times though," Agnez replied with a smirk.

Mykel didn't say anything and pretended to not hear anything as well. He then looked at Jeanne who seemed to be a bit less anxious.

"Jeanne. The moment you become a Goddess, you will be restrained, shackled, and even dominated by the rules of the World," Mykel said as he leaned his body forward. "I'm going to ask you this question one last time. Can you do this?" Mykel asked.

"I do," Jeanne answered without hesitation.

"Then when the time comes," Mykel paused as he stood up. "You can say goodbye to your sword because I'm going to destroy it to free his soul. It's wise if you use it while you can and gain more powers," Mykel continued.

Jeanne closed her eyes and she was saddened by the fact that she had to let go of the sword. She opened her eyes, but her eyes were shaking as if she didn't want that to happen.

"Please inform me when you achieved your goal on Agnez. I'll be away until then," Jeanne said and then left the room.

The three of them looked at the door for a few seconds, and then Agnez looked at Mykel with pity.

"Are you sure she's going to be okay? I always think that Jeanne is a bit too soft and weird," Agnez asked.

Mykel knew what Agnez meant, and it had something to do with what he did back then when he modified her personality. He made her unable to leave his side, and if he didn't do that, she would have left him and joined hands with Asmond.

He knew that her righteous and strong-willed personality was impossible to manipulate, unlike the others. She was the female lead after all, and her nature was hard to change. He thought of modifying her personality again, but it would only make her character feel unrealistic.

Jeanne was righteous and Agnez was merciless, with the two of them and Mykel as the person they looked up to, that was what mattered the most. As long as he kept the balance, everything would be fine.

"She's irreplaceable just like what you said because, in the end, you're all going to be the ones who continue living in this world, not me," Mykel answered.

Agnez and Lillith furrowed their eyebrows as they looked at Mykel weirdly.
