Destroying My Own Novel
Chapter 434 433: Satisfied.

Aurea hadn't even transferred the souls she took into her strength, and yet her pure strength was enough to flatten everything. She walked to the empire palace and saw thousands of corpses around her that were minced because of the shockwave.

She spread her wings and decided to float rather than walk since it was bothersome. She then saw Mykel sitting in the ruined palace and looked at the mess she made.

"You should know that the architecture of this world is unique. To see you destroyed everything is really a waste," Mykel said and watched Aurea descend in front of him.

"Is that even important if I'm going to rule this world?" Aurea asked as she sat down on the broken pillar in front of Mykel. "Now that I think about it, maybe you're right since I have no knowledge about architecture," Aurea hummed with her legs crossed.

"In the end, you chose brute strength over everything," Mykel sighed. "Anyway, I have informed the cambions. They will be here tomorrow, so we're going to wait for them," Mykel continued.

"Tomorrow? Then what should we do now?" Aurea asked.

"I was planning to enjoy the rest of the day by resting in the palace chamber, but now," Mykel paused as he looked around. "Looks like there's none now, thanks to you," Mykel continued.

Aurea didn't feel any regret or guilt, and then she chuckled mischievously. She looked at Mykel as she spread her wings to attract his attention.

"I want to know how strong I have become. This Spirit Vessel, my Soul Siphon skill, and last my Brute skill. I want to try all of them at once. Let's just say a practice before I'm going to fight Hanessi," Aurea said with excitement.

Mykel looked at Aurea who was holding Spirit Vessel, and she was grinning at him. He nodded his head as he activated [True Daemon], and then flew away to the place away from the capital city.

"Don't you think this is far enough?" Aurea asked.

Mykel didn't see any human around him and as far as his eyes could see. It was indeed far enough and the tower was as small as a dot from where he was.

"Alright, show me what you're capable of," Mykel said as he spread his wings.

Aurea activated her [Soul Siphon] and transferred all the souls she collected into her strength. She then activated [Brute] and sucked all the life energy that Mykel had put in the Spirit Vessel and turned it into her strength as well.

Aurea laughed maniacally as an immense amount of power ran through her veins. Her wings became much bigger and her body also grew larger. Her claws became longer and it was impossible for her to hold the sword, even her fingers had become longer than the sword itself.

"I have been waiting for this moment, to finally be able to fight you!" Aurea said with a huge grin on her face.

Although she was ten times bigger than Mykel with her massive wings that covered the sky, she moved with the speed of light. She tried to slash him with her claws, and the projectiles destroyed the land below them and turned them into craters. The mountains got cut in half and turned them into valleys.

Mykel wanted to see how powerful Aurea's attack had become and let himself get hit by her claws. He was surprised that she managed to cut his skin and make him bleed, but he realized his blood was still red like a human's.

"Are you testing my power? Are you satisfied now?" Aurea thrust her claws at Mykel, but he dodged them.

"That's right, and now I know you're dangerous," Mykel replied and swiftly moved closed and punched her with full strength.

The impact made her back explode and her purple blood covered the sky. Instead of falling and indulging in pain, she giggled as the giant wound on her back recovered rapidly. It surprised Mykel, but it made him excited and satisfied because if she couldn't handle that much, she wouldn't be able to fight Hanessi.

"That hurts..." Aurea groaned.

"Hurts? That's just the first one, here comes another," Mykel smirked and started to throw punches and kicks all over her body.

No matter how hard he tried to kill her, she regenerated all the wounds almost instantly. She was also slowly getting used to her power and made the gap even closer and closer the more they both fought.

"Looking at your bruises with wounds is so satisfying," Aurea said even though she lost all her limbs and two of her wings. "But, you have been only using your brute strength and that's it," Aurea sounded displeased. "It's my lost..." Aurea descended as she let her body regenerate.

Mykel healed all his wounds as he landed on the valley that they had created. They had been fighting for almost a whole day, and the craters and valley they made had turned into a lake and giant river because of the water source that was hidden underground.

"It's quite the opposite, Aurea. You're the only one who can turn me like this," Mykel looked at his worn-out suit. "My battle against Lucifer in the arena couldn't be compared to this. You have met my expectations," Mykel removed his suit and walked to the river.

Aurea looked at Mykel's naked body and decided to join him as well. They both swam in the middle of the river and washed themselves with fresh and cold water. She couldn't get her eyes off him.

"I want my reward," Aurea said as she wrapped her arms around Mykel's neck from behind.

"What reward?" Mykel asked.

"The reward that you have been giving to Mazikeen and Agnez. They have sacrificed their lives to create me, and so I want the reward for that, in their stead," Aurea whispered into his left ear.

Mykel smirked and turned around as he swam with a backstroke. Aurea hopped onto his chest with a flirtatious smile as she bit her bottom lip.

"Oh, that... but we don't have much time left before the cambions reach the capital city. If you're fine if we do it one round, that's fine by me," Mykel said with a smile and stared her in the eye.

"Huh? Are you being serious?" Aurea leaned her body down. "If I want the reward later, that means we can do it for as long as I want, right?" Aurea asked and kissed Mykel's right cheek. "Maybe this time I can win," Aurea whispered and giggled mischievously.

They both put their clothes on and then flew back to the capital city to meet with Somus and the others. They waited for hours, and finally, they could see a group of people in the distance.

"Here they come. It's you to decide on how you treat them. You can subdue them, make you as their savior, or even make you their God," Mykel said as he flicked the butt of the cigarette.

"Hmm, I guess I'll choose all of them then," Aurea replied with a smile.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you then. You have seen me so many times manipulating people, you should have learned a lot from it," Mykel said and then walked away.

"(I heard it was a success)" Hera said.

"(Yes it is, and she has become someone new. You should ask Gaia about it)" Mykel answered. "(How's the baby?)" Mykel asked.

"(Ah... About that, can we talk about it when you're free?)" Hera asked and she sounded so worried.

"(I'll meet you today, just wait for me)" Mykel answered.

Hera hummed with understanding and she sounded a bit relieved.

"Goddess Aurea!" Somus and all the cambions said at the same time.

Mykel was startled and looked at them. They were all bowed down and lowered their heads to the ground. Aurea showed her wings. It made them all fear her and admire her at the same time.

He approached Aurea and kept staring at the cambions. He leaned his head toward her left ear and whispered. "Seriously? A fallen God?" Mykel asked.

"I'm just following what I learned from you. Isn't that what you wanted to see in the first place?" Aurea whispered back and winked at Mykel. "Now..." Aurea wrapped her arms around Mykel's neck. "How about you give me my reward?" Aurea continued.
