Destroying My Own World

"Elena..." Sasha said in her trembling voice as she looked at Elena who was fighting with six of the Olympian Gods.

"Everything is going to be fine, Sasha. Just stay behind me," Elena answered as she punched Athena’s giant round shield. "I’m not going to let anyone touch you ever again," Elena continued and saw Athena’s shield shattered into pieces.

Sasha was still a small girl because Hera didn’t want her to grow up back then when they were still inside the novel world. She wanted Sasha to act and live like a happy little girl so she could take care of her forever until Sasha decided to become an adult. It was the setting that Mykel gave to Sasha when she was born, under Hera’s request to make her not possess any power.

"Your big sister is going to kill them, hold on a second," Elena said as she looked at Sasha with a huge adorable grin.

Elena released an energy blast and burned Athena’s skin and flesh, and it wasn’t as lethal as Mykel’s [Sacrilege Flame] skill. But, what made it different from Mykel’s skill, those who were exposed to Elena’s life energy, couldn’t regenerate themselves anymore. Their whole bodies were being slowly devoured by her life energy like radiation.

Athena kept thrusting her spear at Elena with Artemis who shot her arrows at Elena. Apollo played his harp and helped all the Gods to become stronger, and Dionysus spread his wine to heal the wounds of the Gods. They were trying to kill Elena and the others and only focused on that goal.

Hades summoned his servants, Cerberus and Hydra that were as big as the palace itself. Aurea was facing him and looking at how big those two monsters were, she got more excited. Suddenly Beta and Charlie landed right next to her and startled her because of how big they were.

"I know that you don’t need any help, but I want to let my children play as well!" Rozan shouted at Aurea from the sky.

Aurea glanced at Beta and Charlie, and they both were terrified by her gazes that made them lower their heads. They had been bullied by Aurea countless times when she was bored, and that also made all Rozan’s dragons become powerful Thanks to her.

"He’s mine, you two deal with those, understand?" Aurea asked with his eyebrows raised and wings spread widely.

Beta and Charlie nodded their heads with understanding and then spread their wings as they growled in excitement. They flew to fight Cerberus and Hydra, and when they were close enough to them, Cerberus jumped and bit Beta’s leg as Hydra released poison breath at Charlie.

When Aurea was about to fly toward Hades, she felt the ground shake, and then she watched Mykel get bombarded by Zeus. She realized that he was the one who made the ground shook fiercely, and she was jealous because she wanted to fight him.

"You think you can have the time to look at others?" Hades asked as he appeared right behind Aurea.

"To fight you? I don’t even need to open my eyes," Aurea answered as she grabbed Hades’ face. "You’re not even worth my time," Aurea said and crushed Hades’ face, but it turned into black smoke.

The black smoke surrounded her to annoy her, but then she used her [Call of Chaos] skill and screamed her lungs out. The smoke dispersed and then she could see Hades was trembling because he never thought a scream would scare him. When he looked at Aurea, she was already right in front of him and grabbed his face to drain all the souls he had collected.

"It has been a while since I could feel the misery and the scream of the desperation of the souls," Aurea said as she looked aroused when she felt all the pain and fear of the souls.

Since Aurea drained his power, he couldn’t free himself from her grasp. He felt weaker and weaker and it felt like he had become a mortal, and he had never felt like that weak before.

"That’s it? You only have this much?" Aurea asked as she looked at Hades with dissatisfaction. "You called yourself the king of the underworld?" Aurea asked again as she released Hades from her grasp.

The ground trembled again, and this time it was Mykel who destroyed the ground and made it crumble around him. Both Hades and Aurea looked at the destructive power of Mykel, and they didn’t know what had happened to Zeus. When Zeus blinked away, Mykel followed him and was right behind him. Hades watched as Zeus’s back got pierced by Mykel’s hand.

Hades looked at Cerberus and Hydra, and they were getting ripped apart by Beta and Charlie because of the difference in size. His strongest pets that were hard to kill even by Gods got easily defeated by mere dragons. He then looked at Poseidon who just got his trident cut in half by Jeanne and got beaten really badly by her.

"Your brothers are going to die soon, and you are too," Aurea said as she covered her sword with [Hellfire] and activated her [Brute] and [Soul Siphon] skills. "You can’t run, you’re going to die here," Aurea continued as she slashed her sword down at Hades and cut the mountain open.

Jeanne looked at the wide crack in the ground and realized it was Aurea who did that. She then looked at Hades’ body that got cut in half, and then Aurea took his soul and made it hers.

When she watched Hades’ lifeless body collapse, lightning bolts struck Zeus over and over which made his whole body twitch. Both she and Poseidon looked at how terrifying it was, but that didn’t affect Mykel at all, and immediately slammed Zeus down into the crater.

A loud cracking sound appeared from the space above them, and Jeanne looked at the space cracked open that became bigger and bigger. Everyone felt the same feeling that Mykel felt when he looked at the crack in the space, and they were trembling in excitement.

"It’s over for all of you. You brought this to yourself," Poseidon said as he looked at Jeanne who was flying above him. "You have broken the balance, and you have angered the beings that shouldn’t be angered," Poseidon continued.

"No, it’s quite the opposite," Jeanne answered as she looked down at Poseidon. "You have just made a man with a resolve to bring all of you and your ancestors into extinction," Jeanne pointed out and cut off Poseidon’s head without moving a muscle.

Poseidon collapsed without knowing what had happened to him, and the truth was Jeanne used her [Divine Blast] and decapitated him. It was an invisible force that was strong enough to even hurt Mykel if it was concentrated like that.

Aurea landed right next to Jeanne, and then Rozan and the others joined in after they killed the Gods they were facing. Mykel walked toward them as he looked up at the crack in the space, and there was still no sign of a being coming out of it. Mykel then decided to walk away since he had something else to do first.

"Where are you going?" Aurea asked as her eyes followed Mykel.

Find your next adventure on empire

"We are forgetting someone," Mykel answered as he walked toward where Hera got sent off.

Mykel looked at Hera who was badly injured from a single punch that Zeus gave her. She could barely move her body, and she looked desperate as if she was ready to accept her fate. Mykel then grabbed Hera’s hair and pulled her up so he could see her face.

"Father..." Elena said.

Mykel glanced at Elena and saw her carrying Sasha on her back, and then she glanced at Sasha who was still scared from what had happened. He then removed his hand from Hera and walked toward Sasha to check on her.

"Come here," Mykel said as he offered his arms to Sasha.

Sasha crawled on Elena’s back and went into Mykel’s arms, and she held him so tightly with her whole body trembling in fear.

"Father, are you going to kill mother?" Sasha asked in a sad voice.

"I’m not your mother!" Hera screamed as soon as she heard Sasha speak. "It’s a disgrace to have a daughter like you!" Hera continued as she glared at Sasha.

Mykel glanced at Hera, and then he put his hand right on her face. He had no reason to spare her life anymore, and when he was about to blast her head off, Sasha pulled down Mykel’s hand.

"Father no! Mother is lying! She’s only trying to protect me!" Sasha screamed.

Mykel furrowed his eyebrows, and then he looked at Hera who was shocked. Her eyes immediately glimmered in tears, and her whole body trembled in fear.

"Sasha, you promised..." Hera said in her trembling voice.

"Uncles and aunties want me dead. They thought I’m a disgrace and it was better for me to die, but mother didn’t want that. She managed to convince them to not kill me because mother proposed to use me to lure you in, father," Sasha explained as she kept trying to put Mykel’s hand away from Hera.

Everyone was shocked by it except for Elena who had already heard about it from Sasha. Mykel then looked at Hera, and this time tears were falling down her cheeks, and she was looking at Mykel like how she used to look at him.

"It’s complicated, Mykel. Even if you spare my life, it will be over for me," Hera said.

Mykel nodded his head and then he leaned his head to give her a kiss on her forehead. Hera sobbed as she closed her eyes and then she nodded her head. Mykel lit Hera’s body and turned into nothingness after getting burned by the [Sacrilege Flame].

"Mother!" Sasha screamed as tears fell down her chin.

Elena immediately took Sasha out of Mykel’s arms and tried to comfort her. Everyone was surprised that Mykel had killed her even though he knew she was just acting.
