Destroying My Own World

Chapter 77 Existence.

On their way to Mount Olympus, they saw multiple floating islands up high in the sky. Those belonged to the mythologies of the countries below them, and they were small compared to Norse mythology. It turned out Germany was also a part of Midgard, but weirdly enough, it wasn't at the same time.

They were amazed that people were still living so casually and had no idea what existed above them. If humans could see those mythical places and floating islands, they would bow down and worship them immediately.

As they tried to fly further down south to Italy, a black cloud blocked Mykel's path. He stopped and looked at how thick the smoke was, and it kept getting thicker and thicker. He touched it and was surprised he couldn't put his hand through the smoke because it acted as a barrier.

"Mykel, what's happening?" Jeanne asked as she looked at the smoke that started to block the sky below and above them.

"Do you remember what I said when we came to Poland?" Mykel asked. "One of the Gods here has a grudge against me," Mykel continued.

"Mara..." Elena said as she looked at the smoke. "But this time, she's not as powerful as the one from the novel. I think one of us is enough to kill her," Elena pointed out as she touched the smoke and it dispersed so easily.

"No, I'll go and meet her personally. You guys can wait here or you can go ahead," Mykel shook his head and looked at something behind the smoke. "You take the lead, Elena. Do whatever you want, but don't get involved," Mykel continued.

Elena hummed with understanding, and then she looked at Mykel flying through the smoke. He flapped his wings once and it was enough to disperse all the black smoke into thin air.

Mykel flew away and broke the sound barrier that was enough to deafen them. He was disappointed in a blink of an eye, and then he saw where the smoke was coming from. It didn't come from above, in fact, it came from down below, a dead forest with thick mists that blocked the vision.

Mykel landed right in the middle of the dead forest, and his face, legs, and hands immediately got grabbed by unknown hands. He used the [Sacrilege Flame] skill all over his body and melted all the hands on his face. When he turned around, those weren't hands, but living twigs and roots that tried to scare him.

He looked around and could see glowing eyes around him and hear the laughter of unknown creatures in the distance. Since he didn't have time to play around, he blasted the flame around his body and burned down the whole forest. He saw something fly away, but then he used his [Telekinesis] and pulled that thing back down.

He kept holding the being down by focusing on his kinetic sense as he walked toward it. When he arrived, he saw a woman with cracked skin like a tree and veins that looked like roots.

"Goddess of Nightmare, how a surprise to see you here. I remember you sent an envoy and tried to scare me back then," Mykel said as he looked at the woman's messy black hair that covered her whole face. "I'm a man of my word, I told you that I'll remember this and you'll regret it," Mykel continued as he put his leg on the woman's chest.

The woman struggled from freeing herself from Mykel's foot even though she used all her strength to lift it up. The longer and the more she tried to free herself, the heavier Mykel's leg became, and he was slowly crushing her chest.

Mykel landed on top of the hill and everyone was looking at him with serious looks on their faces.

"What?" Mykel asked.

"Did something happen back there? We all saw the sky bending to where you went. We were thinking if we should go and check, but then you came back not long after," Aurea answered as she sat on the rock with her wings covering her body.

"What you saw back there, it was a power that came from a higher realm," Mykel said as he wiped his suit that got dirtied by the twigs and roots. "The reason why it happened, was because I killed Mara, and someone was angry about it and tried to erase my existence," Mykel continued and looked at them.

They all raised their heads because they had never seen something like that except for Elena who saw and experienced something far worse. They looked at each other and realized what might happen to them if the Gods from higher realms decided to interfere.

"Don't tell me you guys are backing off?" Mykel asked with a smile and eyebrows raised. "What are you guys so afraid of? If you die, I'll bring you guys back to life," Mykel pointed out.

"Right, I almost forgot about that. I guess there won't be any issue," Rozan said as he patted Alpha's head.

"Dude, please don't jinx it. Every word you said will always go against us," Gunnar replied as he looked at Rozan with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Anyway, our journey is still far ahead of us. We should go now," Mykel said as he spread his wings.

They all nodded with understanding and flew to Mount Olympus where the mountain blocked the vast sea view. They hadn't even seen the peak because it was up high into space just like Asgard. When they flew past the clouds, they were amazed by how vast the peak was and how big the palace was.

When they landed, they were surprised that nobody welcomed them, unlike Thor and the Valkyries. When they were about to take a step forward, a brown-haired woman came out of the palace in her long white, gold, and blue dress. She looked at Mykel and kept staring at him for quite a while as if they were communicating through their eyes.

The woman slowly approached Mykel and then stood right in front of him. She was a lot taller than Mykel, and even though she was that tall, she didn't show any hostility toward them. She then looked at his eyes, down to his nose, and then down to his lips.

"Aunt Hera?" Elena asked as she looked at the woman.

Hera turned her gaze toward Elena and said, "I'm not your Aunt, and never was."
