Destroying My Own Novel
Chapter 427 426: Understand The Future.

"So, you're the one who defeated the demon servant? I never thought you would be this strong, and I apologize for thinking that you're hopeless like us," The pink-haired woman said and she was ashamed of herself as she rode the horse.

The woman's name was Akilla, and she was supposed to be the strongest Awakener based on her level and descent skills compared to the others. She led forty-six people from her world, Hazlett, and it was similar to the Victorian era where women had higher status than men.

"Don't bother," Mykel replied as he stared at the lively village on the other side of the wheat field. "There are demons in that village, and you might get something from helping them," Mykel said.

Akilla woman looked at the peaceful village. She was skeptical about what Mykel said, but after knowing how powerful he was, and seemed to know more than her, she believed him.

"I'll go and check it out," Akilla nodded with understanding, and then went to the village with her men.

Lucifer watched them enter the village, and he knew there was a reward for clearing the hidden objective. A sword that was used by the strongest and most feared General that could kill Hemios.

"Why are you doing that?" Lucifer asked.

"Because I don't want to be bothered. I want to enjoy my peaceful journey," Mykel answered. "Since it would be hard to replace the demons, it's going to take a whole day," Mykel continued.

"(Mykel, where are you right now?)" Jeanne asked.

"(Inside the Azazel Tower)" Mykel answered.

"(With the others?)" Jeanne asked.

"(No, just by myself. Why?)" Mykel asked back.

"(How's the experiment going?)" Jeanne asked, but she sounded restless and nervous.

"(I have separated Mazikeen's soul from Agnez's body. Right now, Shelly, Deviatris, and Gaia are trying to create a Spirit Vessel that can withstand both souls together)" Mykel answered. "(Are you nervous?)" Mykel asked.

Jeanne didn't say anything and it made Mykel curious why she didn't respond to his question. He decided to see where Jeanne was. He was a bit surprised when he saw Jeanne resting on top of piles of dead bodies of demons that were as big as Alpha.

"(Those castles, what are those?)" Jeanne asked and tried to change the topic.

"(Those are where the Demon Kings live. You won't be able to go there because an invisible barrier will stop you from getting close to them)" Mykel answered.

She was staring blankly at the giant castles in the distance. There were a total of twelve castles and those were the Demon Kings' castles where Awakeners were going to fight them after they reached the hundredth floor.

Once they defeated a Demon King, a portal would open that lead them to the entrance of the Babel Tower. So all the Awakeners from the worlds that the Demon King conquered could fight Lucifer even if they didn't have the Lucifer Tower in their world.

"(How much time do I have left?)" Jeanne asked.

Mykel looked at Jeanne's status screen and was surprised that her level had reached 79. Her [Body Enhancement (Lv.22)] skill got upgraded to [Godly Physical (Lv.7)]. It was a shame that her [Maestro] skill had become useless since she had become a Demi-god.

"(A week, more or less)" Mykel answered.

"(I'll be ready when the time comes)" Jeanne said as she slowly stood up and stared at the Soul Catcher Sword in her right hand.

"(If you're worried about the sword. You don't have to worry because I'm going to make you a better sword that befit you once you become a God)" Mykel said as he watched Jeanne walk down from the pile of demons dead bodies.

"(I knew you would say that)" Jeanne chuckled softly. "(I can't wait to wield it)" Jeanne smiled as she swung her sword around and started to hunt more demons.

"Don't you think it's weird?" Lucifer asked.

"What is?" Mykel asked back.

"This fate thing of yours, the vision and how it'll end up," Lucifer answered as he looked straight at the empty road. "I have been thinking about it based on what Edith described and explained. She said that she and the others were dead, and the only ones that were still alive were you and Jeanne, right?" Lucifer rubbed his chin.

Mykel glanced at Lucifer and thought about what he was talking about. He then realized the last part Lucifer said where it was only him and Jeanne that were alive in the vision.

"She killed herself in the end," Mykel said.

"So you know what I'm talking about," Lucifer responded. "Don't you think it has something to do with this? The reason why she was alive? It was because she became a God and they couldn't hurt her, and the only one that could kill her was herself since Asmond didn't want to kill her even though he could harm you," Lucifer explained as he looked at Mykel.

"Everything slowly becomes clear, and everything I did will lead to that moment even if it was intentional or not. That vision is really bothering me to this moment," Mykel said and stared blankly at nothing.

Lucifer hummed in agreement, but his troubled expression was still there even.

"It's better if we don't think about it since it's something that we can decipher," Mykel sighed.

"I'm not thinking about it, I'm thinking about Agnez," Lucifer replied. "She died in that vision, so you should already know by now that she's not invincible. Although I'm not sure if it was because Asmond killed her or not, but if it wasn't, then that means whatever she became at that moment, she could still be harmed by mortals," Lucifer continued.

Mykel hummed and started to think about it as well. There was so much hidden information that could help him understand the future. He wanted to look into that vision with his own two eyes, but he was afraid and cautious of it. He would be trapped in that dimension by Mara's will and power if he decided to look at it.

"Do you want to try it?" Mykel asked. "To look at the vision with your own two eyes using Lillith's power?" Mykel asked again.

"That will only put yourself in danger because we both shared our minds. If I ended up thinking about it, you'll get sucked into that world of vision," Lucifer sighed and shook his head.

They both decided to stop talking about it as they enjoyed their journey to the capital city. They rested in an abandoned house near the road and took a short break there for the horses to eat.

"Since when you're addicted to smoking?" Mykel looked at Lucifer who kept smoking and emptied the pack of cigarettes in less than a day.

"I'm not, but it does help me think more clearly," Lucifer answered.

Mykel furrowed his eyebrows because that answer proved that Lucifer was addicted to smoking.

"(Mykel, we made it, the Spirit Vessel for Agnez and Mazikeen)" Gaia said. "(It's exactly as you said. The Empyrium is the only one that could withstand unlimited life force and energy)" Gaia continued and she sounded so excited.

"(Have you thought of a method on how to make it happen? The Spirit Vessel that can work on a soulless body?)" Mykel asked.

"(Deviatris has one, and that's by using Homunculus to transfer the energy inside the Spirit Vessel to the body. She said that it would work, but the problem would be that both Agnez and Mazikeen would control the body at the same time)" Gaia answered.

"(That's a problem that they both have to take care of. As long as they can control the body, that's a success on our side)" Mykel said as he watched Lucifer grab a cigarette from his pack of cigarettes. "(I'll bring all of you back to Earth tomorrow. I already have a concept of how the body is going to look like)" Mykel continued as he stood up.

"(Okay. We will do a final checkup on the Spirit Vessel, and make sure everything is ready to use)" Gaia replied.

"They have created the Spirit Vessel, and we will proceed on the last step tomorrow," Mykel looked at Lucifer staring out the window. "It's time to move and kill Hemios," Mykel said as he walked outside.

Lucifer followed him from behind and then went to the capital city of Certic.
