Destroying My Own World

"You lowly mortal think you can come here and threaten me?!" Odin asked as he slammed the bottom of his spear on the floor. "You're underestimating my power because you think you know me from that disgusting and pathetic world of yours?" Odin continued as the guards immediately pointed their spears and swords at Mykel.

Odin raised his spear and it released an energy like a supernova that covered all the nine realms with it. Mykel looked at him and wondered what Odin did, and then he looked at all the knights who absorbed the energy. Their whole bodies glowed and it made them a lot stronger by the look of it.

"What a heartwarming welcome," Mykel said as he looked at Elena with a smile.

"It sure is," Elena answered with a huge grin.

Elena absorbed all the remaining life energy in the air and that made Odin angry. He then ordered all the knights to attack the two of them.

Mykel watched dozens of knights running toward him, and then he used [Telekinesis] to combine them all together into a giant ball. He squinted his eyes and all of the knights got crushed onto each other and turned them into a small ball as big as his palm.

"I can do this the easy way, but since you seem to have prepared for a good fight, I'll just use my fists to show you a bit of respect," Mykel said as he looked at Odin and threw the ball at him.

Elena dodged all the knights' attacks and toyed with them like she was playing with kids. She enjoyed it because her body had become like how it used to be, swift and invincible. She then stomped her right foot on the ground and it was enough to shake the whole hall and sent the knights down on their backs.

She stomped on the ground again, and this time she sent them all up into the air. She then did a spin kick as she released life energy from her foot and sent all the knights to the wall. They were crushed by the wall and died as soon as their bodies hit the wall.

She then watched a knight fly toward her out of nowhere, and she immediately dodged him. She was startled because she didn't see it coming, it turned out it was Mykel who sent the knight flying. He was slamming, throwing, punching, and kicking all the knights who tried to get close to him.

Odin couldn't take it anymore, and he held his spear so tightly as he pointed it at Mykel. He threw his spear with all his might, and it flew toward Mykel with the speed of light, but Elena was faster than the spear and stopped it from hitting Mykel. She stopped it, but she used all her might to prevent the spear from going further.

Odin was shocked because nobody could even hold his spear, Gungnir, not even Thor. Gungnir was the almighty weapon that Mjolnir couldn't be compared to because it only listened and obeyed Odin's order. To see Elena could stop it, he couldn't believe it even though he saw it with his own eye.

"Surprised?" Mykel asked as he stood right behind Elena. "Even the disgusting and pathetic world of mine couldn't contain her power. Who would have thought there's someone who's stronger than me?" Mykel asked again with a smile.

Odin gritted his teeth and decided to bring Gungir back to his side, but Elena prevented that from happening. She was smirking and staring into Odin's eyes, mocking him and showing him how powerful she was.

"Playtime is over," Mykel said as he lit his hands with the [Sacrilege Flame] and he dispersed the flame and let it spread.

All the knights melted by the heat alone, and Odin immediately put a powerful barrier in front of him, letting the remaining of his people cover behind it. He used his life energy to create the barrier as he kept regenerating his hands that melted from the heat alone. He saw how both Mykel and Elena weren't affected by the flame made him understand the situation he was in.

Mykel slowly walked up to the throne as he cast the [Sacrilege Flame] on his right again. He looked at Odin who struggled to protect his people as he started grunting and his hands shaking. He then put his right hand on the barrier and tried to burn it directly with the flame. Odin immediately fell down to his knees as he kept his hands raised to create the barrier.

"I told you, didn't I? I can leave without making a scene, or I can put you down to your knees," Mykel said as he looked at Odin.

"What do you want?" Odin asked in his trembling voice.

"I already told you what I want. I just came here to show my gratitude for letting your favorite mortal help me back then. I genuinely thank you for it, and the fact all the mess that's happening down there, it wasn't me who started it. Your son did," Mykel answered as he put down the flame in his right hand.

Mykel released a strong cold blast that was enough to break the barrier in front of him and the flames that devoured the palace. He showed Odin how powerful he could be, and how easy for him to kill everyone in all nine realms if he wanted to.

Odin didn't have the power to fight Mykel with that condition, and neither did his knights. Not to mention, Thor and the others got occupied by Jeanne and the others. He could see the fight was even, but remembering the shards of memories of Mykel's team, he knew they weren't going all out.

"I'm not coming here for a war. Well, just a precaution, I had to bring everyone and gave them their weapons," Mykel said. "Unless you want to turn this whole situation into a war, I would gladly accept it," Mykel continued.

Odin looked at Mykel for quite a while, and then he sighed as he stood up. He looked at his sacred palace turned into ruins Thanks to Mykel, and he still couldn't accept it no matter what sweet words Mykel said.

"What's your real intention, Mykel Alester?" Odin asked as he looked at Mykel and breathed heavily.

"There's something that I want to know. About this world, this realm, everything," Mykel answered.

"Is that all?" Odin asked again as he sat down.

"That's all. As long as you tell me the truth, the whole truth that is," Mykel answered as he looked at Elena and tilted his head toward Odin. "I believe this is yours," Mykel said as he looked at Elena offering Gungnir to Odin.

Odin stared at Elena for quite a while, and when he grabbed his spear, he could sense the powerful life energy running through him. He was shocked and baffled there was a being with that amount of life energy. A life energy that could create hundreds of realms like what the Norse Gods had.

"Father!" Thor shouted from the entrance.

Mykel turned around and he raised his eyebrows because it was a sight to see. Thor was covered in wounds and his hammer was covered in cuts that a few more would destroy it entirely.

Not long after that, Jeanne landed right behind Thor and folded her wings. She was also covered in wounds and bruises all over her body. Then a woman with long brown hair landed right after with her falcon wings on her back, and that was Freyja. Aurea landed right behind her, and her wings were damaged during the fight.

One by one, everyone ended up inside the hall and they were all still trying to fight each other. They would start attacking once one of them decided to make the first move.

"Wow, I have never seen you guys in that kind of state before," Elena said as she chuckled. "Anyway, playtime is over. You guys don't have to be on guard anymore," Elena pointed out.

Jeanne and the others raised their eyebrows and then put down their weapons. Freyja and the Valkyries were still wary of them, but then Odin told them to stand down.

"All of you get some rest. I'll take care from here," Odin said as he stood up.

"Father?" Thor asked with a confused look on his face.

"You need to reflect on yourself. You started all this, just leave," Odin said as he walked down the throne with Mykel and Elena following behind him.
