"What do you think they're talking about?" Rozan asked Lillith who was sitting across from him and busy eating her chocolate cake.
"I can't read their minds, and I think that's because of the invisible barrier they put around them," Lillith looked at Mykel and the gods on the other table far from them. "That barrier makes us unable to hear their conversations. What's that? Is that magic?" Lillith looked at Shelly.
"Yes, that's a simple wind magic that removed the air around them so sounds can't travel. I can easily break it, but I don't want to get myself in trouble," Shelly answered.
Everyone looked at Mykel and wondered what they were talking about because they all looked so serious. It looked familiar because they looked exactly like them when Mykel was talking. Nobody would ignore him, and their eyes were focused on his mouth.
"You want to make Jeanne a God?" Loki asked as he sat on top of the table with his legs crossed. "I don't think that would be possible since only she can turn Awakener into a demi-god," Loki continued.
"I can do that, I can make her a demi-god and help her to ascend," Mykel answered as he held the wine that Dionysus provided since his wine was the best. "But I'm not sure if she would be punished for having that skill or not," Mykel continued and drank the wine.
Mykel was thinking if he was the one who gave Jeanne the [Semi-Deus] skill, would Mara punish her for stealing her skill or him. Theoretically, it should be him who broke the rule of the World, and not Jeanne. If that was the case, then he wasn't worried since Mara couldn't punish him.
"Is there a specific reason why you want her to become a God?" Hera crossed her legs and arms.
"Wait here," Mykel said as he stood up, and then walked toward Jeanne who had been staring at him.
Mykel asked Jeanne and borrowed the Soul Catcher Sword from her. He looked at the sword sheathed inside the scabbard and then walked back to the table.
"Because of this," Mykel put the sword on the table.
Everyone looked at the sword and could sense the powerful souls that she had taken, and the souls that her ancestors took. None of them wanted to touch it because there was a single soul, the most stood-out soul that oozed a divine power.
"Inside this sword, there's half a soul of Lucifer's brother. The oldest brother of Lucifer to be exact," Mykel put his right hand on the scabbard and looked everyone in the eye.
"Lucifer's brother? What?" Dionysus asked and he was dumbfounded as he shook his head and raised his eyebrows.
Mykel looked at Nyx who sat next to Gaia on the other side of the table. "Do you want to tell them? About Lucifer's past?" Mykel asked.
Nyx sighed as she nodded her head, and then covered their surroundings with [Nigh Omnipotence]. She showed the memories of Lucifer, the same story that Mykel explained to Beldathiel and Luciel.
It felt like hours, but they were in a different time dilation where an hour felt like a second. Everyone who was in the hall only saw the light being sucked around Mykel and the others for a few seconds. It went back to normal, but not the expression of the Gods who were shocked by the truth behind Lucifer and his origin.
"Everything happened because of him and her? You're saying that we are just a child compared to Lucifer and her who had been living a lot longer than us?" Ares asked as he scoffed in disbelief.
"It is what it is, but that's not the important thing that I want to tell you," Mykel replied as he looked at the sword. "This sword swallowed Lucifer's brother's soul, Hanessi, the prince. The only one who can create a God with just his hands," Mykel said as he looked at the sword.
A gentle shockwave was released from the sword that made all the Gods have chills down their spines. They were terrified by that gentle shockwave, and it was something that they had never felt before.
"I want to bring his soul out from the sword and use Jeanne's body as his vessel," Mykel said as he grabbed the sword with his right hand. He felt his hand was being twisted by divine power, and it was extremely painful, but he endured it.
Mykel dropped the sword because it would be bad to force his power onto the sword. The sword would only accept one master, and that master was Jeanne.
"You want to make Jeanne a God because, in her current state, she won't be handle the power of Hanessi. But even a newly ascended God won't be able to handle a power of a Celestial being," Nyx said and looked a bit skeptical. "You also said it's only half of it, where's the rest of them?" Nyx asked.
"The rest is somewhere in the Empyrean World. I will bring it to her and let the sword combine pieces of his soul into one," Mykel answered.
"What about his other sibling? What are you going to do with that?" Athena asked.
"That's the problem," Mykel sighed as he looked at Brynhilde and the nobles of the Aersland enjoying the feast. "Her soul is scattered and inside all of the Aersland people. I don't have the ability to extract a soul, and the only option is to kill all of them," Mykel continued.
"I could make Brynhilde a God and make her body a vessel as Jeanne, but she has to let her people die. Every single one of them," Mykel stared Brynhilde in the eye with a sharp gaze.
"(That wouldn't be necessary. You don't have to kill a single soul to extract her soul,)" Lucifer's said.
"(What do you mean?)" Mykel furrowed his eyebrows and squinted his eyes.
"(The last two power, Hanessi possessed one of them. The most powerful ability as you said earlier, and he can be called the one who ruled over us, the Celestials,)" Lucifer answered.
"(Caelestikinesis)" Mykel said.
"(Yes, the power to control all the Celestials beings including Gods and all divinity. With that power, he can easily extract the pieces of her soul from these people)" Lucifer replied.
"(Once Hanessi possessed Jeanne's body, he would be able to do that without a problem. But you sounded like it's not a great option)" Mykel looked at Hera and she was staring at him with curiosity.
"(Hanessi is an Omnipotent being, and you might have to subjugate him first. It's going to be hard, but it's possible... Maybe)" Lucifer answered and he was uncertain.
Mykel took a deep breath and exhaled deeply as he thought about it. [Caelestikinesis] skill is similar to the [Infernakinesis] skill which allowed them to manipulate the power of a specific being. In other words, if he had to fight Hanessi, he would be in a disadvantage because all the Celestial powers that he had could be easily taken away by Hanessi.
Although it sounded bad, it wasn't really the case because Mykel could defeat Hanessi without having him fight Hanessi. He could use the same method as how Lucifer defeated Hanessi back then.
"(In the end, I should raise my Admin skill to have the upper hand against Hanessi)" Mykel said.
"(That's the case here, unfortunately)" Lucifer said.
"Are you talking with Lucifer right now?" Nyx looked at Mykel with her eyebrows raised.
"Yes, and we both have solved the problem, but another problem raised," Mykel nodded his head as he sighed.
Mykel explained to them the possibility and the easiest way to extract all the Celestial souls. The moment they heard about the [Caelestikinesis] power, they all immediately thought it would be impossible to win against that kind of power.
"If he's that powerful, how did Lucifer manage to defeat him?" Skadi asked with a confused look.
"It's quite simple. Hanessi had the power to control divine beings, and so Lucifer used the demons to defeat him. All the Demon Kings and Lords fought the Celestials beings just like what Nyx showed you earlier," Mykel explained.
"Joining hands with demons? Even if it's the only way, I don't like that idea and I'm not going to, ever be joining hands with them," Ares said and some of them agreed with him.
"That's not necessary because we have one here, the one with unlimited power," Mykel answered as he looked at Agnez. "If it's her, you won't have a problem, right?" Mykel looked at Ares.
Ares looked at Athena and the others who agreed with him, and they all nodded their heads. He thought it would be fine if it was just her, but again, he didn't want to believe a single demon would be able to stop Hanessi.
"Don't forget I have all the demon princesses. I can send them to fight him, and that should be enough," Mykel said.
"Even Luciel?" Hera asked.
"No, Luciel has become a Celestial being, and she would lose all her power if she joined the fight," Mykel answered and shook his head.
"You haven't told us anything about why we are going to do this in the first place, Mykel," Loki said as he leaned his body back and rested his hands behind his back on the table.
"We will need all the help we can get to fight her because I have tested and tasted the power she has. She's currently invincible, and even though I have the plan to weaken her, that doesn't mean I can fight her on my own," Mykel answered.
"After all, she's the one who's favored by the system," Mykel continued as he stared blankly at the wall.
