Destroying My Own Novel - Chapter 557: Battle Royale.

"A mere mortal?" A God in black armor with eight black wings looked at Mykel. He thought Mykel was a mortal because of the attire he wore, and those were something that a mortal wore.

"A mere mortal? How about I make you a mortal?" Mykel asked back as he looked up at the armored God.

The armored God's wings suddenly got plucked off of his back and he couldn't fly anymore. He hit the ground really hard and he lost all his strength as God that he couldn't stand up because of how heavy the armor he wore.

"What did you just do?!" The armored God asked as he tried to move his body but it wouldn't budge.

"Maybe this will help you understand," Mykel said as he lifted the armored God up into the air with his [Telekinetic] skill. "Does God bleed? If yes, then they're mortal, right?" Mykel asked as he looked at the armored God.

Before the armored God could ask, Mykel ripped off all his limbs and he started to bleed. Fresh red blood squirted out of the armored God's body and it made the other Gods and Goddesses shocked. They trembled in fear because none of them knew that there would be an existence that could change who they were.

Mykel crushed the armor and turned the God inside it into a pulp as the God screamed in pain that echoed throughout the whole realm. They all immediately bowed down to Mykel because they didn't want to end up in the same fate as that God he had just killed.

"What are you doing?" Mykel asked as he looked down at them.

"We... we will follow you and we have seen how powerful and mighty you are," The Golden Goddess said as she kept bowing her head.

"This is no fun... who said that I want a new follower? Do you think I would take weaklings like all of you?" Mykel asked and stood in front of the Golden Goddess. "What I want is for you to prove your worth, and then I'll acknowledge you," Mykel pointed out.

All the Gods were frozen still and they were scared by what Mykel meant. They slowly raised their heads to look at Mykel and wondered what he meant by that.

"Acknowledge?" The Golden Goddess asked.

"That's right. I want to see which one of you is the strongest and then I'll take that one to follow me," Mykel answered. "To put it simply, I want you all to kill each other until there's only one of you that stands in front of me," Mykel continued.

All the Gods and Goddesses realized that they had become entertainment for Mykel. Knowing that they were thinking if they should kill each other or band together to fight him.

"I know what you're thinking, so go ahead and try if you think you can defeat me. But I'll warn you that if you decided to band together, there will be no mercy and I'll make sure all of you die in the most painful death," Mykel said as he stared at the Golden Goddess in front of him. "The decision is yours to make," Mykel continued.

All the Gods and Goddesses were silently bowing their heads down, but then Mykel felt that time had stopped. The ambient sound of the space suddenly disappointed him and then he saw a God holding an hourglass stand up.

A man wore a gold scarf underneath a white gown that only covered half of his torso. He slowly walked toward Mykel and gathered the sand from the hourglass that he held and turned them into a big needle.

"You think by stopping the time I would be affected by it?" Mykel asked as he stared the hourglass God in the eye. "You took your shot, but you missed," Mykel smiled and lifted the hourglass God up into the sky. He lit the God with [Sacrilege Flame] and immediately the time started moving again.

All the Gods lifted their heads and looked at the space where a God was being burned alive in a dark orange flame. They could feel the heat and it was enough to melt their hair and skin. They all ran away from the radius as they kept staring at the hourglass God's skin and flesh dripped to the ground.

"At least someone dared to take the shot. Anyone else wants to try?" Mykel asked and let the hourglass God suffer like that. "How about you? You were the one who started it, right?" Mykel asked the Golden Goddess.

The Golden Goddess gritted her teeth and turned big in an instant. She became as big as the sun which surprised Nyx and the others that there was a being that could become that big. She then dropped her giant hands onto Mykel, but the Void Clouds protected him.

Every hit she threw, the shockwave was enough to send everyone away, but not the Gods and Goddesses from Mykel's side. They were unaffected by it and didn't even flinch whenever the shockwave struck their faces.

"Is this how are you going to fight?!" The Golden Goddess asked as she kept hammering Mykel. "Hiding underneath the clouds?!" She continued as she prepared her strongest blow. "Show yourself and fight me!" She shouted as she sent her hands down.

Mykel removed the clouds around him and saw giant hands that were as big as a planet flying down toward him. He raised his hands and stopped the Goddess' hands in an instant. He then spread his arms and sent the giant hands away from him. That made the Golden Goddess lose her balance and slowly fall down with her head pointing down at Mykel.

"You satisfied?" Mykel asked as the Void Clouds wrapped the Golden Goddess' body in an instant. "It's my turn now," Mykel said as he looked her in the eye.

The Void Clouds twisted and ripped the Golden Goddess' limbs until her body started to crack like a solid gold being twisted. She was screaming in pain and couldn't fight off the clouds since she was being bound by them. She was screaming and begging for forgiveness, but Mykel ignored her until the clouds entered her mouth, ears, and nose to torture her inside out.

Nyx and the others were terrified by the Void Clouds and their power. They finally were able to see the terrifying power of the clouds and how they could easily move and nothing could stop them. Zeus and the others were curious how did Mykel manage to defeat her if she had those powerful clouds around her.

"Now... who else wants to go against me?" Mykel glanced at the Gods and Goddesses around him. "Looks like there's nobody else who wants to go against me. So, now it's time for all of you to prove your worth," Mykel said as he walked away while both the hourglass God and the Golden Goddess's screams filled the silence.

Without having any other choice, the Gods and Goddesses started to fight each other without hesitation. They fought with their lives on the line with their fullest power to kill whoever was around them.

Mykel and the others were watching in the distance and enjoyed the show. Elena was eager to join and have fun, but Mykel stopped her and forced her to be carried in his arms.

"So this is what you called a battle royale. What an interesting concept," Bhatmelec said as she looked at the Gods killing each other and didn't show any mercy to them. "We should do this for entertainment," Bhatmelec continued as she looked at Lucifer.

"Ah, we have talked about this, and we are going to make it a spectacular game this time," Lucifer answered with a huge smile on his face.

Nobody knew how long the battle lasted, but it had finally ended with a Goddess that stood in the center of dead bodies. A goddess in a white gown that only had a sliver of strength to make herself stand up.

She looked around and remembered the Gods that were her temporary allies to kill specific Gods. She formed allies and backstabbed her allies which ended up making her survive.

"Congratulation," Mykel said as he walked toward her.

"I..." The Goddess said as she slowly lifted her head to look at Mykel. Before she could say anything else, she felt something just pierce through her chest. It was Mykel's hand and he was holding her heart and slowly tightened his grip.

"Thanks for the hard work so I don't have to deal with all of you," Mykel said as he looked at the pitiful Goddess expression. "Don't worry, I'll give you a painless death," Mykel smiled and crushed the Goddess' heart.

The Goddess collapsed and died with thousands of Gods around her. Jeanne and the others watched and remembered how terrifying, cunning, and heartless Mykel could be.

"Now that all the obstacles are gone, let's start to take their worlds," Mykel said as he looked at the dead bodies around him.
