Destroying My Own Novel

"I lost in this as well..." Aurea said as her head was hanging down off the bed. She couldn't feel the lower part of her body and how ticklish and sensitive her whole body had become. "Maybe I should gather more souls and use them for this in the future," Aurea giggled as she lifted her head up. She saw Mykel was covered in sweat and held her waist so tightly.

Mykel laid down and caught his breath because Aurea was really tough compared to the others. He then watched her crawl on top of his body and lay down on his right arm.

"We are leaving tomorrow morning. We are going to have a meeting with the Gods," Mykel said as he pulled his hair back.

"Where?" Aurea asked.

"You'll see..." Mykel answered as he slowly closed his eyes.

Aurea lifted her head to look at Mykel. He fell asleep and he looked exhausted. She scoffed and put her head on his chest then went to sleep since she was exhausted as well.

The next morning, they both went to Niflheim, and it had been a while since Mykel had visited that place. He also forgot to check on Spenta since he was so busy with his plan.

All the Gods had gathered, and they were looking at Aurea weirdly because they had never seen her before. Her demeanor made them feel uneasy with her presence since she looked strong and the aura around her made them reluctant to approach her.

Aurea didn't know that Mykel was even feared and worshiped by Gods thanks to his wealth and power. She was only standing by his side made the Gods fear her as well, and it was a sight to see.

"So this is the girl of taboo," Ares said and judgingly stared at Aurea.

Aurea smirked as her sharp gaze focused on Ares.

"Yes, and looks like she's interested in sparring with you," Mykel said as he looked at Aurea from the corner of his eyes.

"Sparring? A duel?" Ares asked with his arms crossed.

"Yes, and if you win, I'll give you a billion Arcana Coins," Mykel nodded his head as he grabbed the cup of wine in Dionysus's hand.

Ares slammed his hand on the table as he jolted from his seat with a huge grin on his face. It was so easy to provoke him, especially if it was about proving oneself in strength. He didn't hesitate to accept the bet and brought Aurea to the empty land behind the kingdom.

"That son of yours is something," Gaia looked at Hera as she enjoyed her wine.

"That's why I wish to have a daughter who can just stand by my side and live happily with me," Hera replied as she rubbed her belly. "But, Mykel. Are you sure she can win against Ares? You're going to lose a lot from this," Hera asked.

"Knowing where we are right now, her strength is limitless. I just hope she didn't empty this world from this fight," Mykel answered.

There were millions of souls, strong warriors who were sent down here because of their wrongdoings. Niflheim was like a buffet for her, and Mykel was confident that it would be impossible for her to lose to Ares.

"So, why are you suddenly wanting all of us to gather here other than letting your followers enjoy the party?" Loki asked with Spenta on the table and have been staring at Mykel.

"About Hanessi and the possible uninvited guess," Mykel answered as he reached out his hand at Spenta.

They all looked at each other because they might know who that might be since Mykel had unified all the Gods unofficially. Not a single God would dare to interfere with whatever he was going to do, and there was only one left, and that was Mara.

"If we are going to unleash Hanessi, I can't use Earth because all the lives will perish. If I use the world outside the tower, she's going to kill innocent people and will be punished by her since she has become a God. I can use the empty world that I have cleared inside the tower, but that will give Hanessi a chance to escape since we hold no control over that world," Mykel explained, and he looked restless, but Spenta tried to comfort him by snuggling him.

"There are three places that I can make him unable to escape, and that's either here, Gehenna, or the Underworld, but that only makes her able to interfere," Mykel looked at Nyx, Hel, and Luciel. "Knowing that she might interfere is enough to make our plan fail. That's why I'm thinking if there's a way to distract her," Mykel continued and looked at every one of them.

"You're the only one she's after, and that means you're the only one who can distract her. But, without you, do you think we can do this? Defeat Hanessi?" Luciel asked.

"Do you think you can handle him, Luciel? As long as you can use the Infernakinesis, he won't be able to leave just like how Lucifer did it to his siblings," Mykel asked back.

"If that's the case, Gehenna is out of the option because if Jeanne accidentally killed the Awakeners, she will be punished and who knows what will she do to her if she brought her into her world. If she managed to take Hanessi from Jeanne, it will be over for us," Luciel replied.

Everyone was thinking so hard to find a solution to the problems.

"Let's use the Underworld," Nyx said as she looked at Mykel. "I'm not sure if that would do anything, but I have a similar ability to what Luciel has. My Nigh-Omnipotence skill is powerful enough to be used as a backup plan, and I believe it would be hard even for her to notice if both of our skills combined and use my World Protection skill at the same time," Nyx explained as she rubbed her chin with her arms crossed.

"I hate to say, but I believe that's the only way, Mykel," Lucifer said.

"I trust every single one of you here, and I can leave the rest to you. The only problem left is how am I going to distract her? I can try to buy you some time, but that's it," Mykel said. "I can use the Hall of Arcana like last time," Mykel continued.

"Oh! The Temple of Triumph has been destroyed thanks to you and her. I think we can use that to distract her, and since we have a new Major Arcana, we should gather for a meeting," Loki said and he looked excited.

"What do you have in mind?" Mykel asked.

Loki giggled as he slowly stood up and leaned his body forward.

"I think this is going to be a perfect plan," Loki smiled suspiciously.

Ares' body was shrinking and falling from the sky. He was covered in wounds, and he lost all his limbs because of Aurea's sharp and sturdy claws. They fought for hours and finally the winner had been decided.

Aurea's body was covered with burn thanks to Ares' flame sword and Zeus' lightning bolt. She found out that she could suck any magical energy that pointed at her and turned them into her strength by using [Brute] skill. She never thought about that before, and the more hit she took from the magical attack, the more invincible she became.

"What an easy win," Aurea said as she approached Ares who was laying on the ground. "Thanks to you, I learned a lot," Aurea stared down at him.

"You're a monster. How can someone allow a being like you to exist!" Ares coughed as he glared at Aurea.

"Indeed, I'm a monster that will be feared by Gods and Demons," Aurea giggled mischievously. "How grateful I am to Mykel for giving me an opportunity to live with unlimited power," Aurea spread her wings as she stared at the sky, and then she heard a loud cracking sound from behind her. The sound that she had been hearing ever since she went outside. "Hmm? Looks like I found a new opponent," Aurea smirked as she stared at Nidhoggr who was busy gnawing the Yggdrasil Tree roots.

"You don't want to fight that thing..." Ares slowly regenerated his body, but he didn't have enough [Arcana Coins] for that.

"Is that a challenge?" Aurea glanced at Ares. "I'll accept that challenge then," she smirked and then flew toward Nidhoggr.
