Destroying My Own World

Mykel regenerated his destroyed body and it was the most painful feeling he had ever felt. He still hadn't used to the pain unlike Mykel from Lyneth's timeline who wasn't bothered by it anymore. Another thing that he noticed was the fact he grew stronger, and he didn't know where the power was coming from.

When he was busy handling the power that grew inside him, Elena was thrown away and he was the one to catch her. He looked at Elena in pain, and it seemed that she also hadn't gotten used to her power. He then looked at the others who were overwhelmed by Aevia and how she could single-handedly fight all of them at the same time.

"Those two were fighting her like this all this time?" Elena groaned as she stood on her own feet. "I admire my other selves for enduring this until now," she added, and then she noticed that her power somehow resonated with Aevia.

"You feel it too don't you? The power that surging both from within and from this place," Mykel looked at Elena who was surprised by the growth of her power. "Your other selves, she must know something already about this," he pointed out.

Elena hummed and the unknown and unfamiliar feeling that she had just felt slowly became familiar. She started to understand what was going on since her subconscious and Elena's subconscious were connected.

The moment she found out what it was, she could understand Aevia's power and how to take that power and make it her own. She followed her intuition and somehow it felt like Elena was guiding her from deep within. She then looked at Mykel and thought if she managed to take Aevia's power, not only would she become stronger, Mykel would inherit what she took.

"Father, I'll leave things in your hands," Elena said as she kept looking up. "Please protect me for as long as you can because I found the answer to this," she explained.

Mykel was surprised that Elena called him father instead of his name even though she was the one who asked permission to call his name instead. He then hummed with understanding and let Elena do what she had to do and believed in her.

The moment Elena sat down, the space that had been isolated suddenly trembled, taking everyone's attention. That was when Aevia knew that Elena was trying to take over her power just like what was happening in the different timeline. But, seeing that Mykel was there to protect her and his team who kept her bust, she couldn't do much about it.

There were a lot of things to handle, and yet she couldn't deal with all of them at once. It was the first time she felt overwhelmed and helpless especially when the one who could manipulate her existence hadn't been found. She was frustrated and furious, and yet she was being cornered by mere beings that shouldn't be able to overpower her.

(In a different timeline)

Aurea was still having fun fighting with Aevia, and every punch she threw at Aevia became more and more destructive. It wasn't just because she grew stronger but also because Aevia got weaker that she noticed earlier.

She transformed into her true form and thought she should start taking the fight more seriously. Her wings were enough to deal with the arms that Aevia summoned around her, making things easier for her. When she devoured all the accumulated power that she had been saved from since the fight, her power grew three times stronger.

"Come on, bitch. Show me what you got!" Aurea grinned with her eyes wide open, ripping the arms with her wings. "I have been waiting for this moment and yet you're so fucking pathetic!" She punched Aevia's face, but the barrier blocked it. "That's it! More!" She broke the barrier and hit Aevia's face, sending her far away.

Aurea didn't give Aevia time to breathe or even blink her eyes and immediately approached her and threw more punches. She was on a different level like a gorilla trying to destroy a helpless baby goat. The others hoped to see Aurea's true power in that fight because their curiosity was more important than the situation they were in.

"Don't get too excited, Aurea. You might dig your own grave," Luciel appeared next to Aurea and then cut the air. Suddenly thousands of arms got cut off and frozen in time. "You almost fell to her trap, so no need to thank me and just be cautious from now on," she added and then disappeared.

Aurea knew there was a trap and she was confident that she could escape the trap, but she wanted to test her current power and yet Luciel was preventing that from happening. She was a bit annoyed, but the fact Luciel came just to help her and worried about her made her forgive Luciel's actions.

When Aurea was deep in thought, suddenly her heart stopped beating and her body was frozen in time as well. She couldn't do anything and only her mind and thoughts were still working. She wasn't the only one because the others were in the same state as her.

"Bark more," Aevia cut Aurea's body in half and when she was about to abolish Aurea's power completely, the time moved again. "What?" She was in disbelief because the only one who was capable of canceling that was Mykel, but he was still unconscious. "It was you..." She looked at Elena who was staring at her from the far distance.

Aevia decided to give up herself on the future and took all of herself to the present. She had grown stronger, but at the same time she had lost her ability to change her state and she had decided to go all out.

Aurea who was stronger than Aevia suddenly went pale in comparison to Aevia's current strength. She was unable to block a single attack that Aevia threw at her, and the others who tried to occupy Aevia got completely destroyed. Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

It became a one-sided fight, and it was impossible for them to stop Aevia anymore. Jeanne was the only one who could protect Elena, and she knew she wouldn't be able to protect Elena on her own. She had no choice but to fight and hoped the others would recover when she failed to stop Aevia.

Jeanne hadn't recovered from the drawback, but she didn't hesitate to clash her sword with Aevia's fists. She was helpless, but she didn't give up and gave her everything to make sure Aevia couldn't get near Elena.

Jeanne released the same attack as before but with everything she got, the problem was that she couldn't land the attack because Aevia moved so swiftly. When she thought that Aevia would deal with her, Aevia ignored her the moment she found an opening. At that moment, Jeanne knew she couldn't catch up with Aevia and Elena was in big trouble.

Aevia was so close to hitting Elena and she didn't hold back on her power, but when she threw a punch at Elena, Beldathiel appeared right in front of her. Beldathiel simply put her right hand forward and a barrier was created between her and Aevia. When Aevia thought the barrier meant nothing and punched it, she felt like her arm and all the way up to her shoulder an immense amount of pain.

Both Aevia and Beldathiel collapsed and they both were in pain. What Beldathiel did wasn't only absorb the force, it also reflected the force back to Aevia. It was the result of her [Inertia] skill that had been enhanced by [Systematic]. It wasn't supposed to make her take the damage, but because Aevia's power was too much, she couldn't absorb it at all.

Elena who found an opportunity, she immediately tried to strike back by taking over Aevia's power in space while Aevia was weakened. She did that in an instant, and Aevia felt a big chunk of power gone, and before she could do anything, she felt an immense amount of pressure from in front of her. When she looked up, Beldathiel who was supposed to be on the ground with her had become Metatron.

Aevia summoned arms around her and started pushing Metatron away from her. But the arms got minced without Metatron using anything, and then she was cut right in the face. At the same time, Rozan and Shelly had prepared the magic circle right above Aevia and isolated her inside a barrier.

"Eat this..." Rozan pointed his staff at the barrier.

Aevia's body felt like being melted from the inside, and when she looked down and saw her chest disintegrated. She couldn't stop it and she tried to dispel the magic but it didn't work at all. She didn't know what had happened and when she was trying to free herself, she felt powerless for a moment.

"It's over," Mykel's voice could be heard behind Aevia.

Aevia turned around and looked at Mykel who had gotten his power back, and now he was capable of manipulating her power. She glared at him, but then suddenly she chuckled and snapped her fingers.

"Don't be so cocky..." Aevia smirked and the space suddenly got distorted. "I still have a few tricks," she added and everyone collapsed except Elena and Mykel and the magic got canceled because Rozan and Shelly lost control over the magic.
