Destroying My Own Novelchapter 536: furnace.

All the Constellations watched as Mykel killed every Awakener inside the Lucifer Tower. They were dumbfounded by it, even Luciel because she thought that Mykel would need those Awakeners for the new game. They were trying to ask the reason why he did that, but Mykel didn't say anything and kept killing the Awakeners.

Knowing their Recipients were slaughtered, they were angry at him. All their wealth had been used to raise their Recipients up to that point, but now they were all dead. Hera and all the Major Arcana heads were being pressured by their own members. They wanted to bring him to justice for his conduct and knew there was someone who was strong enough to punish him.

Little that they know that Mykel was not shackled by the system thanks to his position as Head Admin. Everything he did, he didn't have to pay for any consequences anymore, and that included Mara summoning him to her realm. She could no longer request the system because she didn't have the authority to summon him. Mykel looked at Mara's [Story] and she started to feel anxious and frustrated.

There was nothing left on Gehenna's surface, not even demons. The worst part would be everyone who entered Gehenna was welcomed by the scenery of crisp bodies and the smell of burned meat. They were too scared to move, but at the same time, they had nowhere else to go but to move forward if they wanted to go back to their world.

"I'm going inside the Babel Tower, so why don't you stay up here and deal with the Awakeners that are coming here?" Mykel asked Lucifer when they reached the bridge to the Babel Tower.

"You want me to deal with them?" Lucifer asked back with his eyebrows raised. "Alright. I'll go and deal with those Awakeners," Lucifer answered and used his [Infernokinesis] to summon powerful demons to follow him.

Mykel and Bhatmelec entered the portal into the Babel Tower, and they looked at how the Awakeners lived comfortably inside the tower. He walked and looked at his surroundings where everyone was staring at him and Bhatmelec. This time, Bhatmelec didn't show her real form and used a human form, but she still looked too beautiful for a human being.

Mykel stopped in the middle of the hall and everyone was looking at him with confused looks. Suddenly a gentle flame came out of his body and it slowly grew more extensive, but he suppressed the flame and kept it close to him. He tried his best to make the flame as dense as possible so that it started to look like flowing water around his body because of how thick the flame was.

"What are you trying to do?" Bhatmelec asked as the wind blew from her back toward Mykel.

"We are in a closed space with only two exits, and what do you think I'm going to do with this flame?" Mykel asked without looking as he kept feeding the fire with the air inside the tower that slowly became thinner and thinner.

Bhatmelec raised her eyebrows and realized what Mykel was going to do. She turned around and looked at the opened gate at the entrance. She smiled as she walked toward the gate, and people looked at the two of them with worried expressions.

Bhatmelec closed the door that took hundreds of strong Awakeners to open it. She casually closed them with only one hand and people started asking her why she closed the door, but she ignored them.

While they were focused on Bhatmelec, they didn't realize that the flame around Mykel's body had grown bigger and bigger so they started to feel the burn on their skin. They were terrified as they tried to move as far as possible from him, but the only place they could go was the entrance to the tower since all paths had been blocked by the flame that reached the tall ceiling.

Mykel glanced at the terrified Awakeners and smirked as he released the flame that he had suppressed. The flame crawled on the walls, ceiling, and floor and swallowed everything in flame including the Awakeners.

They were screaming in pain as the fire filled every room and hall, but that wasn't even the final move Mykel made. He increased the intensity of the flames which started growing bigger as they moved faster and the flames started to swallow the lower and upper floors.

The Constellations were baffled when they saw the Babel Tower was like a furnace and burned everything inside. They saw the flames were blazing and reached out the windows on the towers. The flame was so fierce and hot that it cracked the outer walls of the tower even though the Babel Tower could withstand the hottest fire in Gehenna.

All the realms of Gods were turned upside down as they were furious at Mykel's action. Hera and all the Major Arcana heads could no longer ignore it, and before they could request the system to do a meeting for all the Major Arcana, a notification appeared before them.

[The World Arcana has invited all the other Major Arcana for a meeting]

[Would you accept the invite?]

[Yes] [No]

Hera looked at Athena, Hecate, Aphrodite, Hermes, Zeus, Ares, and the other Greek Gods. It was the first time Mara to initiate the meeting, and knowing she did that, they were too afraid to decline the invitation. In the end, they all accepted the invitation.

It was the same in Norse when Skadi, Loki, Freyja, and Hel gathered in the hall in Niflheim. Loki believed that as long as they knew nothing about Mykel's actions, there shouldn't be a problem since they had nothing to do with it. They all agreed and accepted the invitation.

Mykel was smoking his cigarette in the sea of raging flames with Bhatmelec. He saw a notification, and he immediately declined the invitation since that was his purpose. Although he declined the invitation, the majority of Major Arcana heads had voted to accept so his decision didn't matter.

[You will be summoned to Temple of Triumph, Hall of Arcana in 5 minutes]

He waited as the timer ran out, and when it hit 0 seconds, a popped-up notice appeared and overlayed the summoning notification.

[The User's [Admin] skill level is sufficient to interfere with the request]

[Would you like to deny the request?]

[Yes] [No]

"Yes," Mykel tapped the [Yes] button as he puffed the smoke. "Have fun having a meeting without me," Mykel chuckled as he flicked the cigarette butt.

Mykel used [Nigh-Omnipotence] skill and covered the whole Babel Tower from the peak down to the base of the tower. He could still feel thousands of Awakeners down below and hundreds of them above him.

Mykel amplified the flames and turned them even hotter and fiercer. All the Awakeners inside the Babel Tower were burned to a crisp and couldn't protect themselves from it even if they had a high [Fire Resistance] skill and strong magic barriers.

The moment the flame reached the ground floor of the Babel Tower, all the Awakeners that were wandering in Gehenna around the tower got swallowed by it in an instant. The flame was so fierce it started to spread like a flood outside the Babel Tower and burned whatever it touched.

(At the Temple of Triumph, Hall of Arcana)

All the Gods were gathered in the hall of Arcana, but because of Mara's overwhelming presence, they all were too scared to look at the table. They all went straight to their designated seats and behaved themselves in Mara's presence.

After all of them had seated in their seats, the hall became quiet so that not even a single breath could be heard. They were anxious because the void clouds had covered the whole hall and they were terrified because the hall became darker and darker.

"Where is he?" Mara asked and her voice echoed throughout the hall.

Nobody dared to speak since they couldn't see anything but thick void clouds.

"I'm going to ask all of you one last time. Where, is, he?" Mara asked as she stared at Hera and all the heads of the Major Arcana.

Nyx slowly raised her hand and asked with a trembling voice, "Who are you looking for, Goddess Mara?"

"Mykel Alester," Mara stared at Nyx with a cold expression.

Nyx and all the heads of Major Arcana slowly looked at each other with confused looks on their faces. But then Hera slowly raised her hand and asked, "Who's Mykel Alester, Goddess Mara?"
