Destroying My Own Novel-Novel

"Miss Edith! Can do you have a moment?" A report asked as she pointed her mic at Edith who had just arrived at the Guild Association building. Dozens of reporters were waiting for her since the morning.

"Looks like she's more famous than you now, Mykel," Lyneth said as she looked at Edith being escorted by her personal guards from behind the glass wall. "Thanks to the breakout, everyone knows how strong she is now. I can't believe she handled the demons on her own and didn't even give anyone a chance to fight them," Lyneth looked at Edith overwhelmed by the attention.

Mykel just scoffed as he put a cigarette in his mouth, but then Lyneth took the cigarette and put it back in the pack.

"Please don't smoke near me, I'm at the most dangerous month now. I don't want the baby to have a complexion because of the smoke," Lyneth said as she rubbed her belly which started to bulge.

"Should I stop smoking?" Mykel asked.

"You don't have to, but just don't do it around me, okay?" Lyneth asked as she looked at Mykel and gently rubbed his cheek and smiled at him.

Mykel smiled a bit as and nodded his head with understanding.

"I will be in my office if you need me," Mykel said and kissed Lyneth on the forehead.

Mykel locked the door behind him and walked to his desk as he opened Lucifer's [Character] story and Mara's [Character] story. He was curious about what had happened up there, and what Mara had done to him.

He looked at the story and suddenly furrowed his eyebrows.

"Isn't this interesting," Mykel smirked as he looked at the screens in front of him.

(At the Void Cloud)

"You're still trying to convince me that you're a part of Mykel Alester and he's the one who created all this? I never knew you could say something so foolish from your mouth," Mara said. "

"If you don't believe me, then how did he know about everything? You wouldn't know about my plan if it wasn't because Mykel said it," Lucifer said as his whole body was covered in wounds and most of his skin was peeled.

"I didn't believe him at first, but after I listened to him and knowing about my past, I'm convinced that he's not lying. You might believe that Mykel and I are the same people because of that, but what about him knowing about all the Gods, the worlds, and even all the small details that we both barely know?" Lucifer tried to open his eyes as wide as possible to look at Mara.

"Give me the answers, Mara. How Mykel stole your powers, and make them his? How could he bring everyone back to life? Even resurrect a God? The only ones who I know that could bring anyone to life is you, and my brother," Lucifer asked with his head down and a bit of a smile on his face.

Mara was deep in thought, and she stopped torturing Lucifer. She tried to find all the answers to his questions, but she couldn't find a solid answer. She then remembered the moment she brought Mykel there, and she couldn't read his past or memories. She hadn't found the answer to that, and at that moment she could read Lucifer's memories like a book.

"You can't explain it, don't you?" Lucifer asked. "Or rather you can, but you just don't want to accept it?" Lucifer asked again with a bit of a smirk on his face.

"No matter how powerful you are, and how are you controlling the universe and the worlds within, you're still bound by it," Lucifer lifted his head and looked at the eyes of Mara as big as the sun above him. "The system is the preventing you from abusing your power. Mykel on the other hand, it seems that he's being favored by the system," Lucifer said.

Mara couldn't help but agree with what Lucifer said, and she thought about it as well. There was no denying that since she could no longer summon Mykel with her [Domain Admin] skill. That alone was enough to prove Lucifer's theory that Mykel was favored by the system.

"You're wrong about one thing," Mara said. "The system is here not because of me. I'm here because of the system," Mara whispered into Lucifer's right ear.

Lucifer was surprised when Mara revealed her secret, and that was the best thing he could get from the situation.

"Then you agree that the system indeed favors Mykel?" Lucifer asked as he looked left and right with only his eyes moving. "If so, do you think he's here for a reason? To replace you or both of us?" Lucifer asked again.

"I know what you're thinking. Say it," Mara said as she stood right in front of Lucifer.

"Use me, and I will be your pawn. No more scheming, no more backstabbing. We both can stop him before he becomes more powerful than this," Lucifer said and looked Mara in the eye. "Everything that I have is now yours," Lucifer continued and he looked serious about it. Mara could tell that he was being serious about it as well and that he wasn't lying about his words.

Mara giggled as she showed the screen in front of Lucifer. He was surprised when he saw Luciel was with Belphegor in his domain.

"Are you sure that everything that you have is yours? It appears your own daughter is persuading the Demon Kings to join her side. Not only him, but she also challenged the other Demon Kings with the new power that you gave her. Or should I say the power that you unsealed," Mara said as she stood right next to Lucifer. i????????????????????????. ????????????

"Their loyalty to me is unrivaled. No matter how hard she tried, she won't be able to do anything about it. They will try to fight her and do anything to keep the order," Lucifer explained as he breathed heavily.

"I don't doubt that, but what them?" Mara asked as she switched the view and showed all the Demon Princesses sleeping on the bed in the castle on Earth. "These little princesses of yours, they're different and they're not created to be loyal to you," Mara said.

He knew, and that wouldn't be a problem since they were weak compared to the Demon Kings. But then he remembered how powerful Mazikeen had become because of Mykel's unknown power. If Mazikeen could outmatch Luciel, sooner or later, the rest of them would be able to outmatch Luciel, and it was possible that they would be able to outmatch their own fathers in terms of power.

"The longer I'm here, the more freedom he has. I'm the only one who can stop him now, and knowing my own creation betrays me, there's no other choice but to take back what's mine," Lucifer said as he stared at the screen with his eyes barely open.

"Are we bargaining now?" Mara asked.

"If what you said is true, I can see why you have been so quiet and passive about this whole situation. You're bound by the system, and you can't move freely because your role is to be, what? The one who keeps the balance? Then you have no other choice but to use me, and all hell will break loose. I can guarantee you that," Lucifer answered.

"How are you going to do that? What will you do if I set you free?" Mara asked and she slowly showed her pale right hand at Lucifer. She put her index finger with a black nail under Lucifer's chin and forced him to look her in the eye.

"I will take the power inside Luciel's body, make them mine. I should be able to withstand their powers. Then I will kill all the Demon Princesses if necessary," Lucifer answered as he looked at the pale hand of Mara.

"And then? What are you going to do with that power?" Mara asked.

"It's up to you whether you give me the opportunity, a chance to kill the rest of the Empyreanian so I can get what I want," Lucifer answered.

"Why would I let you become more powerful? But I'll keep listening," Mara said as she gripped Lucifer's chin with her slender hand.

"Then lastly, I will go down to Earth to kill Mykel and everyone that belongs to him," Lucifer said furiously.
