Chapter 376 375: Wanted Them To Exist.

Mykel opened his eyes and the void clouds were right in front of his face. He immediately moved back, but he realized the clouds weren't moving at all, and so he looked around him and noticed something.

"(You almost stop the time from moving,)" Lucifer said.

Mykel looked at the thick clouds in front of him, and even if things moved so slowly, he couldn't get past them. He didn't want to risk going in and putting himself in an unknown danger. He then realized as long as things moved very slowly, every move he made, bent the space around him which created a natural protective barrier.

"(What are you planning to do now?)" Lucifer asked.

Mykel ignored Lucifer's questions as he ran toward the void clouds in front of him. It was as he expected that the cloud moved away as he ran into it. He turned around and saw his trail that sucked the clouds in. He got himself an idea and decided to go to the middle of the hall so he ran as fast as he could.

The moment he felt like he reached the center of the hall, he suddenly stopped. He activated the [Sacrilege Flame] skill which didn't need any magical power to create it. He summoned a fireball in each hand, and then he clapped his hands together before it got extinguished.

The shockwave and the soundwave were enough to explode every part of anyone's body, but Mykel wasn't affected by it. It was still painful to endure the shockwave and broke his ribs, but it was a good thing since what he was trying to create should be a success.

He looked at the clouds that got pushed away by the shockwave, and he couldn't find Mara anywhere. Seeing how powerful she was in her [Dominion] skill, it would be impossible for him to fight her no matter how hard he tried.

"(Supernova?)" Lucifer asked.

"(Yes, but what I'm after is what comes after the supernova,)" Mykel said as he watched the fireball that he crashed together, slowly expanding and dimming. "(A blackhole,)" Mykel continued.

The shockwave that passed through him immediately came back and got sucked into the tiny hole in front of him. A hole that couldn't reflect any light that was slowly expanding and sucking anything around it.

"(I'm not strong enough, it's better to leave since we already got a lot of information,)" Mykel said as the blackhole approached. "(This is our only way out,)" Mykel continued as he jumped into the black hole, but suddenly it closed before his legs could enter it.

Mykel used [Warp Space] as soon as he entered the black hole, and went to his office. His blood splattered around the floor as he rolled over and hit his desk. The commotion was enough to attract the secretary, and when she entered the room she was surprised to see Mykel's condition.

"It's fine, just bring someone to clean the mess. Also, bring me a new pair of suit," Mykel said as his legs slowly regenerated themselves.

"Yes, Mister Mykel!" The secretary left hurriedly.

Mykel activated [Devil's Apparition] so Lucifer wouldn't be bothering him for a moment. He also needed a thought just for himself and having someone else inside his mind was quite bothersome. He then activated [World Protection] so Mara couldn't bother him or try to observe him.

"You're quite clever to be able to escape her grasp like that," Lucifer said as he sat down on the sofa.

"If escape skill is no use inside that Dominion of her, a natural phenomenon will do," Mykel replied as he exhaled deeply.

It was just silence for a whole minute, and they both were deep in thought.

"The more I think about it, the less it makes any sense," Mykel said as he leaned on the desk as he pulled his hair back, and stared at the ceiling. "Luciel's appearance that resembles her, and then that Goddess of All's appearance that I didn't know and the power that she possessed," Mykel continued.

Lucifer didn't say anything as he crossed his legs and arms. He was still deep in thought as well because based on reading and understanding Mykel's memories, there was no explanation for those three things.

"I have read the content of the novel in your memories, and when you created the characters in the story. One thing that piques my interest is when you created me, Mykel," Lucifer said as he looked at Mykel with a troubled look on his face.

"Hmm?" Mykel raised his eyebrow as he stood up and grabbed the pack of cigarettes in his pack. Unfortunately, the cigarettes were torn into pieces and made a mess inside the pack.

Before Lucifer could say anything, the secretary came in with the janitor and the suit. She looked at a man in a gray suit and slick black hair sitting on the sofa. It was Lucifer, and the secretary was flustered when he smiled at her.

"Here's the suit, Mister Mykel," The secretary gave the suit to Mykel.

Mykel went to the bathroom to change as the janitor cleaned the blood on the floor.

The office was clean, and Mykel wore a new suit. He walked to his desk and opened the drawer where he prepared four packs of cigarettes in case he ran out of cigarettes.

"Can I have one?" Lucifer said as he looked at the pack.

Mykel scoffed as he grabbed another pack and then threw it at Lucifer.

"Let's continue on what you said earlier," Mykel said as he sat down and lit the cigarette in his mouth.

"The Lucifer in the story that you wrote, you only described him as a handsome man, with long white hair, but you never mentioned anything that Lucifer would have your face, isn't that right?" Lucifer said as he smoked his cigarette and stared Mykel in the eye.

Mykel's eyes were wide open and just realized that. He never thought about it because he knew what the character would look like in his head when he created the character.

"Looks like we both got the same answer," Lucifer said as he puffed the smoke. "The story of your novel exists isn't just because of what you wrote. Your mind, your subconscious, and your consciousness also took a part in it," Lucifer continued as he watched the ashes fall to the floor.

"Some of the Gods of Norse mythology and Greek mythology, Jormungand, Nidhoggr, even Angra, and Spenta. Those who you encountered weren't mentioned in the original story. Those were your consciousness and your knowledge about them that got applied in this world. They exist because the you when you created the story wanted them to exist," Lucifer explained.

Mykel was mindblown by the fact that Lucifer had been revealed. He didn't realize it until now, and they existed because he did want them to exist even if they weren't mentioned in the story.

"And so I believe Nasha had something to do with both Luciel and that Goddess appearance," Lucifer stood up and walked to the desk.

Lucifer put his hands on the desk as he leaned forward to look Mykel in the eye.

"I felt it, your anxiousness, your confusion, and even a bit of fear when you faced her back there. You were anxious and confused because you had no idea what kind of skills she possessed because you only mentioned a few of them in the story. You were scared when you fought her, and realized you weren't strong enough," Lucifer said as he kept staring Mykel in the eye.

"The answer to that is because you created her in the paper, and in your consciousness that she's the most powerful being in the novel. No matter how hard you try to defeat her, you created her to be the strongest being in the novel," Lucifer explained with a serious expression. "She's the undefeatable character you created, and it will always be the most powerful being in the story," Lucifer continued.

Mykel chuckled in disbelief as he leaned on his chair because what Lucifer said was true.

"I also have a theory about this one as well. I'm not sure if it's true or not," Lucifer said as he stood straight and flicked the ashes.

"What is it?" Mykel asked.

"What if, the system itself is your own consciousness? The you when you created the story," Lucifer said quietly. "I saw it when Nasha died, you no longer had an interest in continuing the story. At one time, you wished that you live inside the story so you could destroy it, right?" Lucifer asked.

"I did," Mykel answered as he looked Lucifer in the eye.

"Then, the Admin skill that you possess right now, it was because your own consciousness wanted it to happen. You wished to destroy that novel, and now here you are. You're here to destroy it, right?" Lucifer asked.

"I'm not sure if it's the case why I possess this skill," Mykel said as he stared at his [Admin] skill. " But whether it's true or not, this skill is the only way to destroy this world, and the only weapon to defeat her," Mykel continued.

"Yes, I believe so, but knowing it's still level five, you still have quite a long way to max it out," Lucifer said as he put out the cigarette.

"It won't take that long," Mykel scoffed as he looked Lucifer in the eye.
