Destroying My Own World

Mykel felt the surge inside his body and it rapidly grew that he couldn't control it anymore. He looked at his hands and they slowly turned into a black thick cloud and devoured everything around him. He wasn't panicking, but he was anxious about the power that he couldn't control and how his mind and consciousness were slowly being taken over by something.

Jeanne and the others who saw the thick black clouds forming near the cabin hurriedly went there to check. They were shocked when they saw Mykel was being consumed by the clouds and how he just stood there like a statue.

"This is your test," Sasha said as she looked at the abyss in front of her. "Feel it, understand it, and lastly overcome it. If you can't do that much, I'm afraid you should give up and accept your fate," she added.

Sasha covered Mykel's surroundings with her abyss, protecting everyone from his power that went out of control. She then looked at Jeanne and the others who were petrified by what they saw, and they didn't like it at all.

"It's time," Jeanne looked at her other self in front of her. "Try and defeat him with the power you have. It's going to be hard, but if you can't survive in there, don't hope you can be any of help," she pointed out.

"What do you want me to do? It's impossible and you know it. What are you trying to do?" Jeanne's other self asked and looked at Jeanne.

"Feel the despair..." Jeanne answered with a cold expression. "You will learn and experience your greatest fear. It's the only thing that matters right now for you. After that, come to me and I'll teach you everything," she continued.

Jeanne's other self looked at the terrifying dome of thick black clouds that made her whole body tremble. She was petrified by just staring at it, and she wondered how dangerous it would be if she got inside it. But, if she didn't do it, she would follow the same fate that was predetermined by Aevia.

"Mykel embraced his fear, and you should too," Jeanne looked at her other self.

"What will happen if I die in there?" Jeanne's other self asked as she clenched her fists to stop her trembling hands.

"You don't want to know, and it would be wise to not die in there," Jeanne answered and her warning made her other self gulped nervously. "You have no other choice. Don't let Mykel down," she said.

Jeanne's other self grabbed her sword from thin air and then walked toward the abyss. When she was about to enter the abyss, Aurea grabbed her shoulder and made her look back. She saw everyone was behind her, prepared to face whatever was inside that dome and then she nodded her head.

They entered the abyss and it didn't take ten seconds until Lyneth suddenly snapped her fingers. Jeanne's other self and the others appeared of thin air, and they were so confused because they felt a deja vu.

"You guys died already, and this will be your second time entering the abyss," Lyneth said as she looked at them. "All of you didn't last ten seconds in there, so you should do a different method," she pointed out.

They looked at each other and it felt surreal that they had died and Lyneth had rewound the time. It was something that they had never experienced before, but knowing that Lyneth could rewind the time, they felt at ease. They decided to enter the abyss again and tried to last longer than before even though they didn't remember what happened to them there.

Lyneth snapped her fingers again and brought them back for the second time. The bad news was that they didn't last longer than before, and they died almost at the exact same time as before.

"You died, and this will be your third time entering the abyss. The feeling of deja vu you're having right now is the proof of it," Lyneth explained as she looked at them. "I'll give you a heads up. If you're feeling a sense of deja Vu in there, that means you have done it before, so try a different approach," she added.

Lyneth kept doing that over and over every time she rewound the time to bring them back. She explained the same thing as a broken recorder, but she didn't show any annoyance doing it. She was determined about it and would do it all over again because she knew it was the only way to help everyone against Aevia.

After dozens of times of rewinding and Lyneth explaining the same thing to them, Rozan's other self raised his hand.

"You said that we have done it sixty-two times, and you said that we should avoid the sense of deja vu that we're going to feel, but how do you know if it isn't the right one? I mean if it's one of the best moves we have done so far and only need to improvise later on?" Rozan's other self looked at Lyneth.

"That's a good question, and the answer to that is deep inside your head," Lyneth answered. "Use your instinct, trust your guts, and believe in yourself because the moment we fight Aevia, there's no such a thing as second chance," she pointed out with a serious expression.

Jeanne's other self looked at Jeanne and wondered if she had gone through something similar or perhaps even worse than her. She looked at Jeanne and the others from a different timeline, they were totally different than them. They were stronger and colder, and lastly, their eyes were empty, making it unnerving for her to look at.

"Let's go," Jeanne's other self said to the others and then entered the abyss.

Lyneth's [Realm Walker] power had grown stronger and she could manipulate everything that had happened. To be exact, she could manipulate the past as she pleased without limitation, and she could become the strongest being in the realm of the past if she wanted to. Her authority and ability were way more powerful than Amaryllis as the system who could do the same thing.

Elena who had been watching from the cabin was eager to join them, but her current state wouldn't help them and only dragged everyone down. She had to recover first and join them later on because she knew she might be one of the keys to success.

"I don't like this..." Lyneth's other self sat on the bed.

"Me too, but we don't have a choice," Elena answered. "You felt it too, right? When she desperately wished us to help them. You should know how painful it would be if you were in her shoes," she looked at Lyneth's other self who sat beside her.

"I don't want to be like that, and I don't want to experience what she experienced," Lyneth's other self said. "I hate to see myself like that, and I wish that she could be with them again because I know if I lost you, I wouldn't want to live in a world where you're not there," she continued.

Elena looked at her and then looked at Lyneth and realized something that she had failed to understand. She never thought Lyneth's love for her was on par with how Lyneth's love for Mykel or even higher than that. She realized how immature she was for thinking about everything that should be about her. She realized that Lyneth had always been in the shadows behind Mykel's figure based on how she looked at them both.

She forgot that without Lyneth she wouldn't exist, and she underestimated or even ignored Lyneth's feelings. She had done nothing for Lyneth, and yet she had done everything for Mykel, making her feel guilty for how she treated Lyneth.

"I'll get some fresh air..." Elena stood up and she couldn't stand being with Lyneth because of the guilt.

Elena left the cabin and Lyneth noticed that even though she was focusing on the abyss in front of her. Lyneth could see how troubled Elena was, and so she decided to watch where Elena went and join her after.

"Is something bothering you?" Lyneth asked as she landed on an island where the thrones of the Celestial beings were.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to guide Jeanne and the others?" Elena asked without looking back to look at Lyneth. "I want to be alone, so leave me be," she pointed out.

"Amaryllis can be their guide, and I can use my power wherever I want," Lyneth answered as she walked past Elena. "You can tell me your problems, even if it's about your mother," she turned around and looked at Elena.

Elena didn't appreciate what Lyneth said to her as if Lyneth knew what was on her mind.

"I'm not your mother, but we feel the same thing, including the fact that you don't respect her feelings," Lyneth stared into Elena's eyes. "You're feeling guilty about it, don't you?" She leaned against the big throne behind her.

"What do you want from me?" Elena clenched her fists and glared at Lyneth.

"To find out what your feeling toward Mykel..." Lyneth stood up straight and approached Elena. "And the main reason is to discipline your attitude toward your mother," she stood in front of Elena and coldly stared at her. "Mykel has been so soft around you, and he's the only one who can deal with your power. So, knowing that I'm stronger than you right now, isn't this a perfect opportunity to do so?" She smiled.
