Destroying My Own World

"Wow, the news spread really fast," Jeanne said when she looked at the news on the plane after Mykel and Dimitri held a press conference a few hours ago.

After Mykel gave his statement about his reason for suddenly bringing the Pantheon Guild to the Guilds of the World, the Pantheon Guild became the top two in rank. The Pantheon Guild replaced the Winter Guild that no longer existed, and that also made James and the others no longer a part of the Guilds of the World.

Mykel was the one to put the rank of the Pantheon Guild in the Guilds of the world, and it caused huge controversy. Everyone was curious and suspicious why suddenly he put the Pantheon Guild so highly even though the Olympian’s Guild and the Valhalla Guild had achieved more than them.

"Are you not worried that Lazarus and Magnus won’t accept it?" Jeanne asked.

"What are they going to do? They took all the artifacts from the Winter Guild. We are the ones who know about it, so they can’t go against it even if they want to," Mykel answered. "The reason why I brought the Pantheon Guild is because I want to threaten Alfredo and his guild," Mykel explained.

"And you think he won’t do anything?" Jeanne asked again as she looked at the beautiful scenery from the plane.

"Of course, he would do something behind my back, but as long as I can convince him that I’m doing this to put a leash on the Pantheon Guild, he should feel at ease. I want to see what he’s really planning with all those corpses and with this, he might show it soon because of this," Mykel answered.

Mykel closed his eyes since the flight took more than six hours from Moscow to Beijing. He hadn’t had a sleep ever since he landed in Warsaw and used the opportunity to get some sleep.

(Paris, France)

"Anastasia is coming here?" Anzel asked.

"Yeah, you watched the news, right? I think she’s running away because she doesn’t want to get involved with the Rebirth Guild," Gea answered as she ate her ice cream.

"So Luis and Anastasia will be here? That’s awesome," Anzel said as he sharpened his sword. "Should we hang out around the airport? I can’t wait to see them," Anzel suggested and he looked excited.

"Yeah, let’s go!" Gea nodded her head and swallowed the whole ice cream cone as she rode her superbike. "You can sit on the back if you want to," Gea said as she pointed at the backseat of her superbike.

"No... it’s embarrassing to be the man who sits in the back when the woman drives the bike. I’ll just grab a taxi," Anzel said as he shook his head.

They both were eating lunch together and then Luis sent a message in the group chat that he had landed. They immediately waited at the exit, and then they saw a man with brown spiky hair standing in front of the gate.

"Luis!" Anzel shouted as he waved his hand.

Luis Felipe was the sixth person who got awakened after finding out the truth about Mykel. He awakened three days ago, and he came from Brazil with a virtue skill called [Second Virtue: Temperance].

The skill was as unique and powerful as the other five, and somehow it could be the most powerful than the others. The skill allowed Luis to send back all the damage that he took, and he couldn’t feel pain at all. Although it was so powerful, it drained his stamina until he passed out, but the skill would still be active even though he was unconscious.

"Anzel? Gea?" Luis asked as he hurriedly approached them with a huge smile on his face. "Wow! You guys are exactly the same as in the photos!" Luis said as he stood in front of them.

"What do you mean? Of course, it’s the same," Gea asked as she chuckled. "Anyway, Anastasia will be here soon as well, so let’s just hang out here until she landed," Gea pointed out.

Luis was a smoker so he was smoking in the smoking area with Anzel and Gea. Gea was also a smoker so she was glad that she had someone to smoke with since Anzel didn’t smoke.

"Yo," A woman with short black hair said with a newsboy cap covering her eyes.

"Yes? Can I help you, miss?" Gea asked as she looked at the woman weirdly.

"What do you mean? It’s me, Ana," The woman showed her face and removed her cap.

"Anastasia?! What happened to you? Why did you cut and died your hair?!" Gea asked and she looked shocked.

"I ran away from the Pantheon Guild, and I’m afraid the leader would go searching for me so I had to change my appearance completely. I can no longer go back because of it, so I might be staying here from now on," Anastasia answered as she put on the cap back to hide her face.

"You can live with me, I don’t mind. I’m more than happy to have you here," Gea said as she looked at Anastasia.

"Thank you," Anastasia smiled as she sat next to Gea with a panicked expression since she still couldn’t believe that she ran away.

The four of them went back to Gea’s apartment and let both Luis and Anastasia rest since they had jet lag. They were just chilling there and getting to know each other more, especially Luis who had just joined a few days ago.

"One left," Gea said as she smoked on the balcony and stared at the Eiffel Tower in the distance. "What virtue is left?" Gea looked at Anzel over her shoulder.

"Humility," Anzel answered as he was playing with his phone. "I can’t wait to go there, to Norway," Anzel said.

"Yeah, me too. I wonder what’s in there, and everyone is also curious about it," Gea nodded in agreement. "Oh, should we ask Eun and Danny to come here as well?" Gea asked.

"Isn’t Eun Soo in the Sinhwa Clan? She’s playing an important role, and I think they’re going to clear the portal in China soon. Danny is also needed in his country since the portal is near his place," Anzel answered.

"Why don’t we go to Australia then? I think we’re strong enough to enter the portal since we both can no longer level up from these demons," Gea suggested. "I mean, we could wait until the last person awakens though," Gea pointed out.

"Yeah, let’s do that. We should wait and we can get in together as a team. I know that we are strong enough, but we should do everything together because we can also be called a Chosen One," Anzel said and nodded his head in agreement.

"(Status)" Anzel said in his thought.

"Not strong enough..." Anzel said quietly.

(In the deepest part of Hell)

Lucifer walked into a narrow cave as the screams of people being tortured could be heard in the background. It was absolute darkness and there were clicking and clacking sounds crawling on the walls, running away from his presence.

He kept walking until he heard dripping and splashing sounds in front of him. It was the sound of water that hit the lake from the ceiling, and he could see a creature that was swimming inside the lake. He looked at a naked pale woman being chained and hanging on top of the lake, and then he snapped his fingers and the chain disappeared.

The woman fell into the lake, and the creature immediately made a mess of the woman’s body. The lake turned red as the organs and body parts were being launched out of the water.

"I told you that she’s not your food..." Lucifer said as he walked into the water.

Lucifer walked out of the water as he carried the woman in his arms. The woman was fully healed and then she coughed as water came out of her mouth. She slowly opened her eyes and when she saw Lucifer’s black eyes and glowing yellow pupils, she was petrified.

"Good morning, Sasha, it’s time for you to wake up," Lucifer said with a smile.
