Destroying My Own World

Chapter 281 An unexpected perfect plan.

Mykel was starting to feel sick by the amount of life energy that he had devoured. He couldn't stop it even if he wanted to because the energy itself forced its way into his body and he couldn't reject it. It was all Thanks to the cube that weakened him and Amaryllis who blocked his power.

Deep inside him, his body was undergoing billions of big bangs and it started to satiate his hunger. It was sickening rather than satisfying because Elena's energy brought everything that he devoured and created something new and forcefully filled the abyss.

He didn't expect that it would only take a few hours for Elena's life energy to take effect inside his body. Every second that passed, the weaker he became and he didn't know what would happen to himself if he ended up filling the abyss with it.

"I thought you would try to free yourself," The Lord's voice could be heard in front of the cube.

Mykel slowly lifted his head and stared at the light with a sharp gaze. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were fixed on The Lord, it wasn't anger, desperation, or frustration. He stared at The Lord as if he saw a dead man standing in front of him, a single grasp that could kill The Lord.

He thought The Lord came just to have a few words with him until suddenly The Lord entered the cube. Even with his current state, he could kill The Lord and devour him so easily, but he knew something was off. He glanced and saw Elena and the others were watching him from the distance.

"What kind of game are we going to play?" Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.

"Life and death," The Lord answered without hesitation and with a flat tone.

Mykel couldn't help but laugh even though he was on his knees enduring the pain all over his body. He then stood up as if nothing had happened to him, and that made everyone worried that something bad might happen.

"Don't panic. Even if that entity isn't Mykel, he thinks and speaks like him. He knows that something is fishy, and he should have known by now what we are trying to do," Elena said with a serious expression and kept staring at Mykel. "He's weak, but he hides it really well by his action alone, just like Mykel did," she continued and crossed her arms.

Everyone couldn't help but get nervous and scared after they finally realized that they were fighting against Mykel. Doubts started to fill their heads and wondered if they really defeated him back then or if it was because he wanted them to believe that it was.

"(Was it his plan all along? To be captured? Did we really outsmart him? Or are we dancing in his palm right now?)"

Those thoughts were inside everyone's head, and they were standing on the edge because of it.

"You need to assume that your enemies know what you know," Elena said. "Plans aren't really the main point when fighting enemies. The most important thing is that we know we can defeat them with just strength alone," she continued and tried to comfort the others.

"Since you have been wanting to kill me. Now I'll offer myself to be devoured by you," The Lord said calmly. "Let's gamble who will live and who will die," he continued.

Mykel squinted his eyes and then glanced at Elena and the others who had been avoiding eye contact with him. He then smirked as he stared into the bright light in front of him.

"You're free to do so," Mykel slowly covered himself with the abyss and slowly wrapped The Lord with it. "This is going to be anti-climactic, but I accept the gift," he said and then devoured The Lord whole.

In almost an instant, Mykel could feel The Lord's power inside him, making him less prone to suffering from Elena's power. But suddenly The Lord's power slowly disappeared until he couldn't feel it at all, but that didn't bother him since all he cared about was The Lord's death.

"Seeing that you still lock me in here, looks like you can't accept the truth," Mykel said as he looked at Elena who came to see him. "I know what you're playing here, Elena. I have to admit you're playing a risky game here, but I wonder what you have under those sleeves, and what are you going to do now," he added as he stood right in front of Elena, only a thing translucent wall that separated them.

"That depends on how much you have prepared for them," Elena said with confidence as she showed off her smirk and sharp gaze.

"Those eyes, they're indeed the prettiest thing," Mykel said as he stared and looked at Elena's bright yellow eyes. "It would be a shame to let those eyes be covered with tears again," he continued and then walked away.

"Would you take me with you if you ended up winning this?" Elena asked. "Wouldn't you be lonely?" she added.

Mykel stopped and slowly turned around to look at Elena.

"This is nothing but a mask. The man you love is gone now," Mykel answered.

"I know. I want you to devour me as well if you win so I can be with him," Elena responded and she was dead serious about it. "You should know that I have no reason to live if he's not here. That's why I want you to devour me," she explained.

Mykel stared into Elena's eyes again, and then he nodded his head in agreement. "If that's what you want, you can have my word. I promise," he said.

"Thank you," Elena smiled pitifully as her eyes started to water.

Mykel couldn't look Elena in the eye anymore and turned around, waiting for him to kill The Lord inside his body.
