Destroying My Own World

Chapter 257 Causality and time.

Mykel looked at the hall inside Lucifer's palace, and then he saw Luciel coming out of the hallway with a sword in her hand. He didn't say anything and watched as Luciel cleaned the sword and then she carefully put it on the shelf.

"Reminiscing the past?" Mykel asked as he walked to the shelf.

Luciel was startled because she didn't notice Mykel's presence at all. She then walked to the side to let Mykel look at her first sword which was made from Empyrean Steel.

"I forgot where I put the sword, and after that little adventure, I remembered it now and thought it's the only thing that I can remember about my father," Luciel answered as she looked at the brittle and yet shiny blade.

"Do you want him back?" Mykel asked.

"I don't know. Most of my memories with him are unpleasant since he never acted as a father and the fact he made me just to use me only gives a bad taste in my mouth," Luciel answered as she looked at the palace. "I guess the answer to that is a no," Luciel scoffed.

"I see. If you change your mind, I'll do something about it since Lucifer is still alive out there," Mykel said as he walked away.

"Mykel, can we talk?" Luciel asked before Mykel could leave the palace. "This paradox, it's been bothering me and I couldn't rest because of it," Luciel pointed out.@@@@

"I'm sure everyone feels the same way. Let's have a talk with everyone here," Mykel said as he nodded his head.

Everyone gathered in the throne room and they were all sitting at the massive table that was large enough for everyone to sit around it. They knew why they were gathered since Mykel told them about the issue and wanted to give them his insight.

"The causal loop of self-creation is the thing you're all worried about," Mykel said as he tapped on the table. "You're wondering if we are the original or not and if we should be worried if we are not. Is that what you're worried about?" Mykel asked as he looked at each one of them.

They all nodded their heads since it was what they were worried about even though Mykel didn't read their minds.

"The answer to that is simple. There will be no original since we have become a part of the loop," Mykel pointed out as he sat straight.

"Wait, does that mean if you die, the other you will die as well?" Rozan asked with his eyebrows raised.

Everyone tried to process it and those who understood Mykel's explanation explained it to others who didn't. They realized that all the realities were connected in one way or another like a string of fate. But the string of fate was determined and controlled by Mykel himself which meant that he controlled his own fate.

"Is it really us who create the fate and not determined by the actions of ourselves from the previous reality?" Aurea asked with a troubled and suspicious look on her face.

"Amy, what did she tell you?" Mykel asked Amaryllis.

Amaryllis was startled that Mykel knew about the hidden message that the previous Amaryllis had told her. She then brought her clones and made them stand behind every one of them. She then put her hand on everyone's chest as she looked them in the eyes.

"The truth," Amaryllis answered and burst all the memories that she had and transferred them to everyone.

The truth wasn't about their origins of themselves, but the fact that they were all connected to their previous self. Their minds, their thoughts, and their desires were all connected into a single core. In the end, what they did or what they were going to do, they were all based on their own thoughts.

"Don't," Mykel immediately grabbed Amaryllis's hand and removed it from his chest before the memories could enter Mykel's head. "We are who we are. Our past is what we experienced, not the one from before us," Mykel said as he shook his head.

Amaryllis smiled and then nodded her head. Mykel was the only one who didn't get in touch with his core.

"Remember, you don't have to worry about our past or our future. What we are going to do is based on our own decision and face the consequence, that's what it means to control your own fate," Mykel said to put everyone at ease.

Mykel stood up and looked every one of them in the eyes as he rested his hands on the table.

"Now what will you do? Accept it and let it all happen because you believe it doesn't matter anymore? Or, would you believe in me no matter what happened?" Mykel asked.

"You're the only Mykel we know, and we would rather put our fate in your hands. We are yours, and we will do what you want us to do," Jeanne answered.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"Good, then it's time for us to fight him. We have done our job and left our legacy behind. Our legacy will depend on us, and us alone," Mykel said as he put on his gloves. "I'm sick of watching," Mykel added as he looked at his right fist.

"Fuck that legacy. I want the legacy that came between my legs," Aurea slammed the table as she stood up. "And I will get that legacy once this is over," Aurea looked Mykel in the eye.
