Destroying My Own Novel

Asmond opened his eyes and saw the void clouds around him from his [Void Shelter] skill start to disappear. He looked at how everything had been flattened by the explosion, and when he looked at his surroundings, Rufus and the others that were with him earlier had turned crisp. He was petrified, and couldn't move a muscle in his body, but his fear turned into anger because he knew who did all that.

He flew up high into the sky and looked at the destruction of the city in District 10. He looked at the distance and it was the same with black smoke going up into the sky. He then used his [Void Sanctuary] skill and tried to expand it as far as he could. His anger pushed him to the limit and covered the whole of District 10 with his skill.

He brought everyone back to life, and suddenly thousands of notifications appeared in front of him. All the Constellations were moved by his actions and gifted him with their best skills. He was overwhelmed and glad that he never stopped trying. His righteous act and mind finally proved his worth to the Constellations.

All the people started to gather in the middle of the city because they saw Asmond up high in the sky. They saw him fall and wanted to see if he was okay because he fell unconscious after he pushed himself to the limit.

Rufus and the others were the first to arrive, and he immediately carried Asmond into his arms. They were glad that he was fine, only exhausted from using all his power to bring them all back to life. The real problem was the condition of the city, and they had nowhere to go since they knew the whole world had been destroyed.

"Now what? What should we do?" Glen asked Roxanne as he looked at the people who looked shocked and confused about what had just happened.

"For now, let's find a shelter for everyone. We will start to think of something once Asmond is awake," Roxanne answered. "Let's check the public bunkers in the city, and hope that they're not destroyed," Roxanne said.

All of them nodded with understanding and led the people to the public bunkers since there were food, water, and beds. Since the bunkers were deep under the ground, they weren't affected by what happened on the surface. They all immediately used them as a temporary place to live until further notice.

(In District 1)

"What do you mean we are going to fight the Constellations? You're telling us that we are going to fight Gods?" Rozan asked nervously.

"Yes. we are going to fight Gods, and they're on their way here," Mykel said as he felt the presence of Gods in the sky. Their eyes were glaring at him even though they were nowhere to be found. "Here they come," Mykel looked at thousands of portals were opening in the sky.

"I don't think we are strong enough to be fighting Gods, Mykel," Sven said and he looked terrified when he saw the portals scattered in the sky.

"Why do you think I chose all of you? You guys are equal or even stronger than lesser Gods. Also, you have Jeanne and Aurea that will deal with the powerful Gods," Mykel answered as he looked at the Gods flying down from the portal.

Jeanne, Nagy, Gunnar, and Vincze were silently looking at the mess that Mykel had made. They were thinking about their siblings and the families that they had on Earth. They were thinking about what happened to them and did they survive or not. But they remembered what Mykel said that nobody survived except them.

"Your families are now in the Empyrean World. They're living in heaven and they'll be living happily in there, forever," Mykel said as he looked at them since he knew what they were thinking. "I have said this so many times. You can leave if you don't want to be a part of this, and I'm giving you one last chance if you want to follow me or not," Mykel pointed out and kept staring at them.

"I have no reason to leave. I know for sure even if I die, Mykel won't abandon me. In fact, I know for sure that Mykel wouldn't do this if he didn't know the outcome," Aurea answered as she walked toward Mykel and stood behind him. "I'm not going to force you to join in, but I'm going to ask you this. Are you really okay with being bound by the rules of God? If you leave now, you'll regret it," Aurea pointed out.

Lillith walked toward Mykel and stood behind him since she didn't have a reason to leave either. He saved her life, and he brought her to a world that she wouldn't imagine. Edith also went to Mykel's side because she owed her life to Mykel, and she had been living with comfort thanks to him, especially since he cared for her daughters.

"I still have a wish from Mykel, so I guess I'm going to stick around until I know what I want," Rozan said as he walked toward Mykel.

Sven looked at Vincze who was still thinking about it, and then he patted him on the back. He walked to Mykel's side which surprised Vincze, and the reason behind it was that Mykel knew his pain, he knew his past, and he respected that and wasn't bothered by it. Also, he had the same reason as Rozan.

It was Gunnar, Jeanne, Nagy, Gerrard, and Vincze left who hadn't decided whether they wanted to join Mykel or not. Gunnar then thought that he had come this far, and backing out now would only put shame on himself. He believed that he had no place to go but where everyone was since he had shared blood and sweat with them.

Gerrard followed them because Gunnar, Rozan, and Aurea were the people he came with when they first met Mykel. He had the same thought as Gunnar. With that, Vincze decided to join them and leave Jeanne and Nagy behind.

"Nagy, what's your answer? If you want out, I'll send you away from here and I promise you that you'll be safe, and none of us will be mad at you," Mykel said.

Gunnar and the others nodded their heads in agreement with Mykel's words. Nagy was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do since she wanted to stay, but at the same time, she was too scared to fight the Gods and believed it was wrong.

"You can choose your own path, Nagy. Please don't choose the path that you'll regret," Jeanne said as she grabbed Nagy's shoulders from behind.

"I don't know what I want, and I can't decide..." Nagy answered as she sounded so nervous and scared. "What about you, Jeanne? I don't think I can't make my own decision because everyone that I care about is over there," Nagy looked at Jeanne pitifully.

"I'll choose whatever path you take. I'll protect you, and I'll stay by your side. I don't want you to regret it, and I want you to know that I'll take your side," Jeanne answered with a smile.

Nagy grabbed Jeanne's left hand and then slowly dragged her toward Mykel's side. "Can I?" Nagy asked nervously.

Jeanne smiled gently and nodded her head.

Finally, all of them decided to stay on Mykel's side until the end. It was as if the vision that Edith saw, and even though Mykel didn't persuade or force them to come, they would still stand by his side.

"Now, since you all have made up your mind, should we welcome them? All the Constellations?" Mykel asked and looked at each one of them.

They all nodded and they were determined and prepared for what was about to come. Mykel then warped them all to the street with him, and they still saw Gods coming out of the portal.

The moment they felt Mykel's presence, all the Gods flew toward him with weapons ready in their hands.

"Look at them showing off their powers," Bhatmelec appeared on Mykel's right side.

"It has been my dream to kill Gods, now that I'm here, I can't thank you enough for this moment," Lucifer appeared on Mykel's left side.

"We are outnumbered, but so what?" Mykel smirked and summoned Nidhoggr to Earth. "I was and still am a one-man army," Mykel said.
