Destroying My Own World

Mykel was covered in sweat as he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Jeanne and Brynhilde on the bed naked. He left the room and let them rest since they had been spending all day in bed. He went to the dining hall and saw Manna and Exima eating breakfast as they were talking to get to know each other with the maids that served them all the best food that the palace could offer.

"Good morning. Did you have fun?" Manna asked as she ate bread and looked at Mykel with a smile. "I can’t believe Jeanne and Brynhilde could do it all day without stopping," Manna continued as she shook her head.

"Did that bother you?" Mykel asked as he sat down at the table.

"Not particularly, but you can see how flustered she is right now," Manna answered as she chuckled and looked at Exima who hid her face. "Are we going to the Empyrean World now?" Manna asked.

"Yes. I don’t need to bring more people," Mykel answered as he nodded his head. "For a heads up, I want you to know that this is going to be an unpleasant experience you’ll ever have. There will be no turning back once you decided to join," Mykel said with a serious expression.

"You haven’t told me anything about what we are going to do," Exima said.

"Everything will be explained once we go to the Empyrean World," Mykel answered.

Exima didn’t know anything about the Empyrean World, and then Manna explained to her what it was. Mykel was enjoying his food as he listened to Manna giving all the answers to Exima’s questions. Brynhilde and Jeanne joined in because they were starving, and Exima became flustered again after she saw the marks that Mykel left on their necks.

Your next journey awaits at empire

After they were done eating their breakfast, Brynhilde announced her departure to help Mykel. All the people in Aersland knew that one day it would happen, and they all accepted it because they still had Alberta, Gaswin, Eckerhardt, Emmer, and Frey. They were Brynhilde’s trusted aid who had been helping her run Aersland.

The whole world cried to see Brynhilde leave, and it was enough to tell how loved she was by her people. Byrnhilde couldn’t handle the atmosphere and requested Mykel so they could leave immediately. They then went to the Empyrean World after they said goodbye to Alberta and the others.

Everyone was gathered in Luciel’s palace and there were new additions to the team. Lexus, Nexus, and their team joined after Nagy met them on of the islands in Aersland. Mykel didn’t mind and it was a good addition for them which made it easier for him to take over Earth with them around. There were sixteen of them that joined the team, and the team members grew twice just like that.

Mykel explained to them what had happened and where all the Constellations had gone. They couldn’t believe it when they heard all the Constellations went against him, not to mention that there were so many Gods they didn’t know. They were terrified, but knowing Mykel and what he had achieved, they trusted him and agreed to follow him.

"Boss, we have gathered all the materials, and with this many people, we can barely make a weapon for everyone," Gunnar pointed out.

"That shouldn’t be a problem," Mykel answered and asked the system to create more Empyrium Steel so everyone could make a set of armor and weapons for everyone.

The system created a mountain made of Empyrium Steel which was more than enough. Everyone was happy and couldn’t wait to process it, especially Shelly who barely had her hands on them.

"Is something wrong?" Jeanne asked Mykel who seemed troubled.

"Give me your sword," Mykel said as he looked at Jeanne.

Jeanne unsheathed her sword and gave it to Mykel without asking a single question. She looked at Mykel staring at the blade, and he noticed a few brittle marks on the blade after her fight against Thor and Poseidon.

"I can fix that. It will be as good as new," Jeanne said to put Mykel at ease.

"No, that’s not the problem," Mykel shook his head and kept staring at the blade. "We were fighting Gods of Earth, and that was enough to make your sword brittle like this. We have no idea how powerful the weapons of the Cosmic Gods," Mykel pointed out.

Everyone listened to his explanation and got interested in the conversation.

"There might be a case where a single clash with them would be enough to shatter your sword," Mykel said as he gave back the sword to Jeanne. "I’m thinking of a way to prevent that from happening," Mykel continued as he looked at the mountain of Empyrium Steel.

"A material that can surpass the Empyrium Steel? Does that even exist in this world?" Aurea asked as she wrapped her left arm around Jeanne’s neck.

"No, there isn’t," Mykel answered as he sighed. "Let me think for a bit while you guys extract the Empyrium Steel," Mykel continued and then went back inside the palace to have peace of mind.

Mykel thought so hard to find a solution, but he couldn’t come up with a single idea. He couldn’t think of something stronger than the Empyrean Steel, and the system couldn’t comprehend what was stronger than the Empyrean Steel since it didn’t exist in the story. With the current knowledge that the system had about the real world, it didn’t give the system any preference. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mykel decided to go back to Earth to check on Sasha who should be sleeping in his penthouse. When he arrived, he was surprised when he saw Sasha running around the living room with a kid version of Elena. They both were having fun and it made him smile because of how adorable they were.

"Dad? You’re back already?" Elena asked as she approached Mykel in her oversized shirt.

"No, I’ll go back again later. I came to check on Sasha, but seeing you guys are having fun, I’m not that worried anymore," Mykel answered as he looked at Sasha who didn’t want to approach him. "She’s mad at me, isn’t she?" Mykel asked quietly.

"Sasha! Come here!" Elena yelled as she rested her hands on her waist.

It startled Mykel because he never thought Elena would yell at Sasha like that. He then looked at Sasha and slowly walked toward him, and she seemed unwilling, but she listened to Elena’s words. Mykel then went down to his knees as he looked at Sasha and offered his hands so he could carry her.

"Are you mad at me?" Mykel asked as he lifted Sasha and carried her in his arms.

"No, because Elena would be mad at me if I do," Sasha answered as she looked down.

"You know, Sasha?" Mykel asked as he tried to make her look at him. "I can bring mother back to life," Mykel continued.

Sasha immediately looked at him and her eyes were brightened up with a huge smile on her face.

"Really? Mother can come back?" Sasha asked.

"Yes, but mother doesn’t want to go back to life yet. She wants you to wait until then, so, can you wait? I promise I’ll bring her back and we can be together again," Mykel answered and explained it simply to Sasha.

"Okay," Sasha nodded her head even though she looked sad.

[The system has found a solution]

"Alright, Sasha. You can play with Elena again because I have to go," Mykel said as he put Sasha down.

Sasha nodded and then went to play tag with Elena again in the living room.

"Speak to me," Mykel said after he warped back to the throne room.

[The system has searched for the best solution and found that there is a perfect material to strengthen the Empyrium Steel]

"Material to strengthen the Empyrium Steel?" Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.

[Correct. The material is Iron, and it is not any Iron, but the Iron that is inside the Owner’s blood. The Owner’s blood contains a different Iron than any material that exists. With that being said, the Owner’s blood can not only enhance the Empyrium Steel, but it can also repair itself]

"My blood," Mykel said as he looked at his left palm. "What about Elena’s blood?" Mykel asked.

[Impossible to calculate and there is a chance her blood will be useless once it is used as a material. Her blood is powerful because of her power and once it is no longer a part of her, it will turn into normal blood]

"Make sense," Mykel said as he stood up. "Let’s give it a try," Mykel continued as he walked out of the palace.
