Destroying My Own Novel
Chapter 429 428: Hated By Demons And Humans.

"Are you seriously pointing your swords at us?" Lucifer asked as he stared at Somus with a sharp gaze. "Knowing he's a God, you're still thinking of doing something this stupid?" Lucifer asked again as he put out the cigarette on the counter.

"A God? Do you think a God would care for someone like us? A half-demon?" Somus asked back as he pointed his short sword at Mykel. His hand was trembling and terrified by Mykel's existence. "In the first place, the Gods have abandoned us, we didn't ask for this kind of life! But why we are punished for something that we didn't do?!" Somus yelled in his trembling voice of fear and anger.

Mykel sighed as he lit his cigarette and then stood up. It was enough to make everyone take a few steps back because they were scared of him.

"So you despise Gods?" Mykel asked with the cigarette in his mouth.

"What's the point of liking them? Especially asking them for help? We are half-demons, and the only place that awaits us all is hell!" Somus answered.

"Good, because I also despise them," Mykel replied with a smirk. "I want to kill all the Gods that existed because they're useless and show mercy only to those who they're interested in," Mykel continued as he walked toward Somus.

"Aren't you the same as them?" Brutus asked.

"That's right, that's why I despise them," Mykel answered as he puffed the smoke. "That's that, but I'm not here to talk about them, I'm here to talk about the offer I gave Brutus," Mykel said as he stood right in front of Somus.

Somus heard about the offer and was curious why a God like Mykel wanted cambions to rule over the world. He was suspicious because it might be a trick so Mykel could destroy the world once there were no more humans in it. He thought that if there was a chance to save his kind, he should take it even if it would cost him his life.

"Even if you're wary of me, you're standing in front of a God who can read your thoughts, your emotions, and even your future. You'll have no chance to win, and the best you can do is to agree with my offer," Mykel said as he squinted his eyes and judgingly stared at him.

They were all glaring fiercely at Mykel, but they still hesitated to make a move. Somus was frustrated after hearing that, but he realized as long as he followed Mykel's words, then he and his kind would be fine.

"Can I ask why?" Somus asked.

"A second chance," Mykel answered as he walked back to the counter. "I'm the only one who cares about all of you, and of course, that's because I have an interest in your kind," Mykel continued as he sat down.

"You want to live without any interference from other beings, right? No humans, no demons, and especially no Gods. That's why, I'm going to help you, and I'm not going to interfere with your business in this world anymore after you managed to take this world for yourself," Mykel explained as he poured himself a glass of water.

Everyone listened to Mykel and decided to lower their weapons.

"Before that, you should know once I killed Somus, the demons will do whatever they pleased since their lord is no longer to command them. Do you think you can survive if the demons decided to destroy this world?" Mykel asked as he looked at Somus.

They all went quiet and it would be impossible since they were so weak compared to demons. They barely even survived against humans, and if the demon decided to go on a rampage, no matter where they went, the demons could smell their blood.

"I can protect you, of course, but I'll have one request once you take over this world," Mykel said.

"And what would that be?" Somus asked and he was anxious because, in the end, Mykel would get a benefit from doing that.

"I'll personally send someone here to fulfill your revenge. That someone will kill everyone and make that person the new ruler of this world," Mykel answered.

"You said no humans, demons, and even Gods, so who this person might be?" Somus asked.

"A third demon, a third human, and a third God. A new existence," Mykel answered.

"There's such a being like that?" Somus asked.

"There will be," Mykel answered and looked at Lucifer who was already bored with the conversation. "That's all for today. You shouldn't be worried about the demons anymore because I'm going to kill Hemios," Mykel grabbed his pack of cigarettes from the counter.

They both left the tavern and went to the central part of the capital city where the Colosseum was. Lucifer had been so quiet and he seemed to be deep in thoughts, and Mykel knew what he was thinking.

"You must be thinking why I would go to this extent, and for what reason," Mykel said as he watched the cambions staring at them with suspicion. "You already knew everything, and you should know that these cambions have the ability to grow, unlike demons whose power is determined when they're created. They're basically like Awakeners, but for demons," Mykel explained.

"I'm aware of that, but what for?" Lucifer asked.

"You'll know when you read my mind later," Mykel answered. "This is for something in the future," Mykel continued.

They both stood in front of the Colosseum and saw Awakeners had entered the capital city. They were speechless when they had to enter a bigger and deadlier arena again.

"Mykel!" Akilla shouted as she walked toward him and held a gladius sword. She had cleared the side quest faster than Mykel thought which was quite a surprise.

"How was the mission?" Mykel asked.

"It wasn't that hard. I used to have a gathering with noble women and knew when a rumor appears, women are the ones who know it first," Akilla answered and she looked so proud of herself.

Mykel hummed and noticed how clever that woman was even though she was just a side character that should be dead in the story. He thought that it might be a good opportunity to have her here, and could use her after.

"How's that sword?" Mykel asked.

"It shapes is weird, and I haven't tried it," Akilla answered as she rotated the sword and looked at the shape of the blade.

"You must have heard about what happened back there. The demons went on a rampage after I killed the demon servant. So it's going to be the same here, and I would like to ask you to be prepared for it," Mykel said as he looked at the Colosseum. "The capital city is vast, and if we don't put a precaution, this city will disappear in a single night, with all the people in it," Mykel explained and looked at Akilla.

Akilla understood the situation and had thought about it when she was on her way to the capital city. She had people believe in her, and she could get more Awakeners to go and help her for the cause.

"I might need time, to gather all of them and put them in position," Akilla said as she thought of the estimated time to prepare. "Are you going to enter the tournament now?" Akilla asked.

"How long will it take to prepare?" Mykel asked.

"Four hours or less. I can convince them all and send them all around the capital city," Akilla answered without hesitation.

Mykel smirked and realized Akilla had the potential.

"Do it, I'll wait until then," Mykel answered.

Akilla nodded with understanding and then she left to convince all the Awakeners.

"She's quite a clever girl, don't you think?" Lucifer asked. "You should have brought her to your side," he continued.

"There's no more time to bring anyone in. Once the experiment is done, I'm going to ask her to get used to their new body by sending everyone to clear the towers up to the hundredth floor," Mykel answered. "The final battle is soon, I don't have time for this," Mykel continued.

Mykel walked to the Colosseum and decided to enter the arena.

"Wait, I thought you were going to wait for Akilla to report to you back?" Lucifer asked and looked at Mykel with a confused look.

"Waiting for four hours and doing nothing? Didn't you say you're going to join this time?" Mykel asked as he turned around and stared at Lucifer. "We can spar for four hours while we wait. No magic, only brute strength," Mykel continued.

Lucifer smirked and scoffed. "Fine by me,"
