Destroying My Own World

Everyone was hanging in a pool on the rooftop and had a party and a banquet since it had been a while. Mykel was there with the boys, enjoying the drinks and food as they were discussing each other's power and helping each other to get insights into their own skills.

Mykel only wore sweatpants and bathed in the sun with a bottle of vodka in his hand. Elena was still inside the novel world and she hadn't left after that sparring, and he didn't want to bother her since she wanted to stay there. He watched as everyone was having fun and talking to each other, but then Helen approached him and sat on the bench with him.

"From all the women that you have here, you chose her?" Helen asked as she crossed her legs and looked at Jeanne and the others in the pool.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"What makes you think that they're not mine already?" Mykel asked back as he looked at Helen.

Helen looked at Mykel with a shocked expression and said, "All of them? Are you being serious?" "No, you must be joking. I don't believe you," Helen continued as she shook her head in denial.

Mykel chuckled and didn't answer Helen's question to let her wonder.

Helen was invited by Mykel since the city was empty and most of the people had left, he thought it would be fine to invite her. She hesitated at first, but since she had nothing else to do, she accepted the invitation.

"But thank you, for inviting me. This is really fun," Helen said as she nodded her head and looked at the beer in her hand. "Also, I'm leaving, Mykel," Helen looked at Mykel as she squinted her eyes because the sun was blinding her.

"Good choice," Mykel said as he looked at Helen. "There's no reason for you to stay here, and you can start a new life in any country you want," Mykel continued.

Mykel knew that Helen would leave since she didn't want to get involved in what was going on with him and the whole world. Continue reading stories on empire

"I'm going to miss you though," Helen said as she kept staring at Mykel. "And, I was hoping to meet Elena before I leave, but looks like she's not here," Helen added as she looked around.

"You can have this," Mykel said as he gave Helen the [Hera's Ring], the same ring that Mykel gave Lyneth. "This is an artifact, and it will protect you from any harm. Or you can sell it and that should be worth millions of dollars," Mykel explained as he looked at the ring on Helen's palm.

Helen was speechless when she looked at the ring on her palm, and it was made of gold with a black gem on it. She loved the color, and she was touched by it that she immediately hugged Mykel to show her gratitude.

"I'm going to miss you as well. Take care out there, and I'll visit you once this is over," Mykel said as he hugged Helen. "Also, Elena doesn't want to be bothered at the moment. She will see you in person when she knows that you left," Mykel answered.

"You take care of yourself, Mykel. You were at the top back then, you fell to the bottom, and now you're trying to break the wheel. I know that it's hard for you, but just see me when you need someone to talk to," Helen said and looked at Mykel. "Also, that's her, right? Your ex," Helen asked with her eyebrows raised.

Mykel nodded his head, and then Helen furrowed her eyebrows with a confused look because she knew that Sasha was already dead.

"How? She's supposed to be dead," Helen asked.

"Do you really want to know the whole truth? This is going to sound crazy to you, and you might not be able to comprehend the truth," Mykel asked back as he raised his eyebrows. "God, heaven, hell, all that stuff," Mykel added.

"Really?" Helen asked as she exhaled deeply because she was nervous. "I guess I don't want to know then. But what about you? Are you okay?" Helen added.

"I'm fine. I already know about this for a while now, and I have met her in person. I'm planning to do something about it," Mykel answered as he nodded his head and then drank the vodka.

"The world is fucked up, huh? I wonder if this will be the end of us," Helen said as she looked at Vixelleth who was sitting on the edge of the pool.

"Maybe, that's why I'm going to give you a parting gift," Mykel said as he stood up and then walked to the pool.

Helen furrowed her eyebrows and watched Mykel talk with Vixelleth and Zherlthsh near the pool. She kept watching him until suddenly Vixelleth and Zherlthsh looked in her direction. She was confused, but then the three of them approached her and they were standing in front of her.

"I heard you're lonely," Vixelleth said as she sat next to Helen. "Are you interested in something fun, just the three of us?" Vixelleth asked as she tilted her head at Zherlthsh and kept staring at Helen.

Helen was dumbfounded, and then she looked at Mykel who was smiling at her. She had no reason to decline, and so the three of them left the rooftop and went to one of the penthouses.

"So that's your tattoo artist?" Jeanne asked.

"Yes, she's a friend of mine. She's going to leave after she the party, so I gave her a parting gift," Mykel answered.

"You gifted here those two? I don't think she will be able to leave if you put her in the same room as those two," Aurea said as she scoffed. "It would be a miracle if she could wake up tomorrow," Aurea added as she chuckled.

"Wait, she's leaving? But we haven't made a matching tattoo though," Rozan asked when he overheard that Helen was leaving.

"We can do that before she leaves, it won't take a while since we have decided what kind of tattoo we want. I'll tell her when she's done playing with Vixelleth and Zherlthsh," Mykel answered.

"Well, that's that, but what's our plan now after you signed the declaration of war?" Aurea asked with her arms crossed. "They're going to clear the portal, and if we let them do that, aren't we in trouble since that's our due before The Lord is going to send us back and punish us for what we did?" Aurea added.

"Do you think that would happen? Seeing that Lucifer and all the Dukes of Hell are out in the open because of us, they won't let that happen," Mykel answered as he sat down. "The only thing that will happen is them misleading those Awakeners and Chosen Ones, and maybe let them die inside the portal," Mykel continued.

"What are we going to do then?" Jeanne asked as she sat down next to Mykel.

"It's still the same..." Mykel paused to drink his vodka. "We are going to break the pillars, remove the barriers between realms. Everyone will see the realm of Gods, and what is beyond it. We will proceed once we have nothing else to do here, and Elena is still inside the novel world, so we have to wait for her as well," Mykel explained.

"What about Lucifer? Do you think he's planning something right now after he took over the Redshield Guild and now he becomes an important role in the world in just a few days after he came," Jeanne asked.

"Who knows, but we know that he's not alone, and Lilith might be by his side now and his other companions. He shouldn't know about our new powers, so it's better if you guys think about yourself more than anything else," Mykel answered. "For now, just enjoy the day, there will be no more peaceful day once we destroy all the pillars," Mykel suggested and emptied the bottle.

Everyone nodded their heads with understanding and enjoyed the day as Mykel said.

"More, I need more..." Elena said as she kept releasing her life energy.

"You're at your limit, Elena," Amaryllis said as she watched Elena from the distance.

"I'm at my limit? I have never heard that word in me before," Elena said as she looked at Amaryllis over her shoulder. "If Mykel's existence is being shackled by The Lord, then I'll be someone who will break that shackle. I'll become an existence that will overpower The Lord," Elena continued.

Amaryllis didn't know what to say or do, only stayed there for Elena.

"Mykel is everything to me. I won't let anyone take him away from me," Elena said as she caught her breath.
