Destroying My Own Novel-Chapter 472 471: A Game Of Chess.
Mykel, Jeanne, Aurea, Lucifer, and Bhatmelec were waiting for the others in the hall. In the end, Beldathiel and all the Demon Princesses were brought to Niflheim as well because Mykel ordered them to. Hel was starting at Bhatmelec and felt the same way as Jeanne. She thought in her head that it would be nice to peel Bhatmelec's face and use it for her own.
"Hel, I want to test something," Mykel said as he walked toward her.
Hel raised her eyebrows and watched him walk toward her with a curious look on his face. He then gently put his hand on her right cheek because half of her face was a skull with blue-colored bone since she was a jotunn just like Loki. He carefully looked at the left side of her face and tried to put flesh on her face with [Reform] skill.
Mykel didn't only put skin and flesh on Hel's right side of her face but also her neck, right shoulder, and down her upper arm. He used the skin and the flesh of his own body since he touched it with his bare hand without his glove.
"It's done, and I know that I shouldn't do this without your permission, but I'm just testing it out. If you don't like it, I can turn them back to how they used to be," Mykel said as he removed his hand from Hel's arm.
Hel walked past Mykel and hurriedly went to check her face in the mirror on the side of the hall. She looked at how her face looked symmetrical and it felt real as if it was her own flesh and skin. She smiled and she never thought she would be able to see her own smile with full lips like that.
"Wow, there's a reason why they call you a Goddess," Aurea said as she stood next to Hel with her arms crossed and judgingly stared at Hel through the mirror's reflection.
Hel turned around and looked at Mykel.
"I love it, thank you," Hel said with a gentle smile.
Mykel nodded with understanding.
Hera and the others came and gathered at the round table. They didn't notice Hel's face at all, and the first one who realized the change in her face was Loki. He looked dumbfounded and happy at the same time because he secretly wanted to fix Hel's face, but couldn't find a way of doing so.
Everyone was gathered around Hel and looking at her face which looked so real. Hel told them it was Mykel's doing and told them about Bhatmelec that had been standing right behind Mykel with Lucifer next to her. Lyneth was there as well since it was time for her to take Elena with her after the meetings.
"That's enough of that. We are here not to talk about Hel or Bhatmelec's and her powers," Nyx said as she looked at Bhatmelec. "We are here for the endless game that you proposed, isn't that right?" Nyx looked at Mykel with her eyebrows raised.
"Yes, and I bet all of you are surprised why did I let them clear the Asmodeus Tower? So I'll explain to all of you about what I'm planning to do," Mykel answered as he put his hands together on the table.
Mykel's plan was to clear all the towers and kill all the Demon Kings except for the Lucifer Tower. He wanted the game to be focused on a single being rather than thirteen. It would be better if all the Awakeners from different worlds were fighting the same enemy and connected to each other through the Lucifer Tower.
The purpose of that plan was to make things easier to handle, and Gehenna World itself would be enough. He was planning to put all the towers inside Gehenna instead of inside the mortal worlds.
"Summary, since all the Awakeners would be meeting in Gehenna, we the Constellations don't have to play favor anymore because they're all standing equally," Hera said as she watched Elena and Sasha with Spenta and Angra play in the hall.
"Most of you would prefer to invest in the advanced world because the chance of survivability is higher than in the primitive world. But once they're all fighting the same enemy, they'll be on an equal footing," Mykel responded.
"Is that really the case? Don't you think there would be a fraction and the possibility for them to divide themselves from each other?" Loki asked.
"That's the point. Even without Gods and Demons, humans tend to fight each other once they divided themselves. In the first place, the world that will be invaded by the tower is the world that doesn't believe in God. In the end, the weak will stay to survive while the strong will fight to survive, but no matter how strong they are going to be, they're no match for the Demon Lords and the harshness of Gehenna World," Mykel explained as he looked at every one of them.
Loki and Nyx hummed with smirks on their faces.
"Does that mean we are allowed to manipulate them and try to stir them to fight each other?" Loki asked in excitement.
Loki and Nyx looked at each other and they both looked like they had a plan for what they were going to do. They both stood up and approached Luciel with a scheme that the others were staring at them with suspicious looks on their faces.
"So the goal is not to let them clear the tower, rather make themselves busy to compete against each other until the survivors can go and clear the tower?" Ares asked and he started to understand why Loki and Nyx looked so excited.
"That's right, war, bloodbath, survival of the fittest, you name it. I already have ideas on how to make all of them possible," Mykel answered and looked at Ares with a smirk. "Of course, this time the demons are not just becoming their enemy, they can become Awakeners' allies as well and grant them power and wish to those who are desperate and seek revenge," Mykel continued as he looked at Beldathiel and the other Demon Princesses.
Lucifer looked at Mykel and realized Mykel's way of thinking was like that of someone who tried to create a new story for his novel. He observed Mykel and listened to his plans with his ears open because it caught his curiosity. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂
"I wonder if he's an evil being or a benevolent one by the way of his thinking," Bhatmelec said as she stared at Mykel and was surprised by how terrifyingly genius his idea was.
"He's our creator after all. He can be both since he can do whatever he pleased as our creator in exchange for something exciting not for only him but everyone that takes part in it," Lucifer answered as he smiled and rubbed his chin.
Aurea slowly moved to the side to get close to Jeanne, and then she elbowed her gently.
"What do you think about Mykel's plan? Do you have any objections to it? I know you so well and I don't think you would agree with everything he said," Aurea said quietly so nobody could hear her words.
"I don't know," Jeanne replied as she looked at Mykel and listened to his plan. "The plan is to bring the world that doesn't believe in Gods to be punished. In the first place, do we really have a God to worship before this happens? Do we really know who created us? I mean, for me, I know my origins, but the people on Earth. Who created them?" Jeanne asked back.
"So you have no problem with it? You know that we are going to let thousands of lives die for their cause though," Aurea asked with her eyebrow raised.
"I have nothing to say, at least not at the moment," Jeanne answered.
"Well, as long as you don't have a problem, then it should be fine. Oh, that question you asked earlier. I have asked that question to all of the Gods that were here back then, but none of them knew who created the people on Earth. Maybe Mykel can give us the answer," Aurea said.
Mykel stood up and everyone immediately paid attention to him.
"It's just as I said a long time ago that we are going to play a game of chess, and this time we are the ones who going to play it instead of being the ones who are being played by Lucifer and Nyx. Everyone can play their own board of chess and do as you please to your heart's content," Mykel said with a smile on his face.
"But we still have an obstacle to achieve that plan," Hera said.
"That's right, but I have enough people that can help me to fight her," Mykel looked at Lucifer, Bhatmelec, Aurea, Jeanne, Angra, Spenta, and lastly Elena. "They're enough to help me out," Mykel continued and looked up because Nidhoggr was flying above the castle.
