Hera and the others were summoned to the Empyrean World by Luciel to discuss the next move. Mykel brought Lyneth and Elena since he promised Lyneth to make her an Awakener.
They were having a wine party while the kids were playing in the apple garden with Beldathiel. She hadn't had the chance to play with Elena and Sasha back then, so she used the opportunity to play with them.
"Before we start, can you tell us what happened back there in the hall?" Nyx asked as she sat on Lucifer's lap and wrapped her arm around his neck. "You survived twice from her grasp, and we are curious how did you do that," Nyx continued.
"I'm just stating the facts about the system disappearance once the towers have been cleared. Nobody wanted this to end, and that includes her as well," Mykel answered as he poured himself a cup of wine. "With that being said, I proposed the endless game to her," Mykel continued as he walked up to the throne.
"This endless game. You haven't told me about this," Luciel said.
"To put it shortly. The demons invade the world that doesn't believe in Gods and the world that's better off disappears. Once those mortals decided to devote themselves to the Gods, we the Constellations will come to give them hands," Mykel answered as he sat on the armrest of the throne. "I'm proposing a different breakout rule that allows the demons to go out whenever you want," Mykel continued.
"And you think she will accept that?" Luciel asked.
"If she doesn't agree to it, I'll clear all the towers, remove the system from this world, and finally go up there and kill her. She's going to be powerless without the system, especially when we have almost all of our trump cards," Mykel took a sip of the wine and could feel the gazes that were pointing at him.
"She'll accept his proposal whether she likes it or not," Loki said as he crossed his legs and wiggled his hanging right foot. "She overlord the Gods, and she doesn't want that to end," Loki continued as he yawned and rested his head on his fist. "The best part is that we're not the ones who threaten her, so no matter what she chose, it's Mykel's responsibility," Loki chuckled mischievously.
They were talking so casually about the endless game while Aurea, Jeanne, Lyneth, and the Demon Princesses listened to them. Jeanne and Aurea wanted to join in, but they never saw an opportunity to do so. It felt like a kid trying to join an adult's conversation.
"Mykel, when are we doing to take Bhatmelec's soul?" Jeanne asked when there was a long gap of silence.
"Whenever you're ready, but that also means you have to be able to control the Caelestikinesis power first. For now, take a short breather and meet with Rozan and the others first. They're worried and haven't heard anything about you," Mykel answered.
Jeanne nodded with understanding as she made herself comfortable in the chair while enjoying her wine.
Mykel walked down the stairs and approached Lyneth. He activated his [Authority] skill and saw a new option unlocked the [Awakening] option. He clicked on it and it was similar to the [Character List] from his [Admin] skill.
He chose Lyneth's name on the list, and a prompt overlapped the screen.
[Individual [Lyneth Leonis] will be Awakened]
[The [System] has calculated the cost of [Lyneth Leonis] Awakening]
[5,000,000 Arcana Coins are needed to Awaken [Lyneth Leonis]]
[Proceed with the payment?]
[Yes] [No]
Mykel tapped on the [Yes] button.
[Individual [Lyneth Leonis] has Awakened with a unique skill [Odds]]
[Individual [Lyneth Leonis] has been notified]
[Odds (Active): Allows the User to see the chances and probabilities of everything around them. It will cost the User's [Stamina] and once it depletes the User's [Stamina] the skill will be automatically deactivated. (Can be used at will as long as the User's [Stamina] is sufficient for the skill)]
Lyneth was startled when a notification appeared in front of her. It was a message of congratulation for becoming an Awakener. She then looked at Mykel who stood in front of her with a gentle smile on his face. She looked so happy, but suddenly another notification appeared in front of her.
[You have leveled up!]
[You are now level 100]
[You have reached max level!]
[You can now hold up to 100 skills!]
[You have attained a few new skills!]
[You have attained [Accelerate] skill!]
[You have attained [Semi Deus] skill!]
[You have attained [Deus Obcisor] skill!]
[God Mykel Alester has offered you to become his [Recipient] do you accept?]
[Yes] [No]
Lyneth didn't know what to do but tapped everything that was in front of her.
[You have been gifted a few new skills!]
[You have attained [Limit-Break] skill!]
[You have attained [Punishment] skill!]
She was overwhelmed by all the notifications and didn't even have the time to check every single one of them yet because a new notification appeared in front of her.
[You have met the requirement to combine a skill]
[Combine [Semi-Deus] with [Deus Obcisor]?]
[Yes.] [No.]
Lyneth tapped the [Yes] button.
[You have attained a new skill!]
[You have attained [Deus (Ex)] Skill!]
A blinding light came out of nowhere and pointed down at Lyneth which surprised everyone in the hall. They all jolted from their seats and immediately approached her with bright smiles on their faces. A new Goddess had been born.
[You have met the condition to join the Constellations!]
[Would you like to join the Constellations?]
[Yes.] [No.]
When Lyneth was about to press the [Yes] button, Mykel stopped her and shook his head. "Don't join the Constellations, become a free Goddess just like Jeanne," Mykel said.
Since Lyneth didn't know what she was doing, when she heard Mykel's word that she had become a Goddess, she jumped into his arms and hugged him so tightly. She couldn't hold her excitement and made cute noises as she kept hugging him. She then suddenly jumped down and looked at a small girl standing in front of the door and staring at her.
"Elena?" Lyneth asked in disbelief.
Mykel turned around and saw Elena on her own, staring at Lyneth who had become a Goddess. She might have felt it since Lyneth got the [Special Bond] skill. Suddenly Beldathiel came in as she caught her breath and then realized Lyneth had seen Elena's six-year-old body.
"(I'm sorry, she suddenly rushed into the palace and I couldn't catch up with her)" Beldathiel said as she stared Mykel in the eye.
"(It's alright. She must be surprised as well with whatever she felt when Lyneth became a Goddess)" Mykel answered.
"She looks exactly like in my dream," Lyneth said with her hands covering her mouth.
"Mother," Elena said as she slowly walked toward her. She was too scared to approach her because she was afraid Lyneth might hate her for growing up unnaturally.
"Come here, sweetheart," Lyneth was glimmering in tears as she opened her arms and went down to her knees.
Elena ran and hugged Lyneth just like how Lyneth hugged Mykel earlier. Lyneth then stood up and carried her in her arms. She couldn't believe it, but she was so happy that Elena looked so adorable in that white cloth she wore.
Jeanne approached Elena and looked at the cloth that she was wrapped in. She used [Creator] and turned that white cloth into a small dress that fit on Elena's body.
"You're so adorable," Jeanne said with a smile on her face.
"Thank you. Auntie," Elena grinned.
Hera approached then with Sasha in her arms. Loki also came with Spenta and Angra on his shoulders. Angra and Spenta looked at each other and decided to jump down from his shoulders. They both suddenly turned themselves into a human body with long hair that matched with their furs.
Mykel looked at those two had nothing to cover their bodies. He was surprised that their chests were flat like a man. Not only were their chests that were flat, their bottom parts were also flat. In fact, there was nothing down there.
"Uhh, is that normal?" Aurea asked as she looked at Spenta and Angra.
"They're taking it from their mother or maybe father?" Jeanne looked at Loki with a confused look. "But they both have Mykel's yellow eyes," Jeanne continued as she observed Angra and Spenta.
"What a big happy family. Do you want to be a part of his family too, Jeanne?" Aurea whispered as she giggled.
