"Time to work," Mykel said as he looked at everyone frozen in time.
Mykel walked out of the apartment and casually left a small ball in the hallway. He saw a janitor cleaning the floor and walked past him to go straight to the rooftop as he left fireball every corridor he was in.
He went to the rooftop and flew away as he left a big fireball, as big as an elephant in the middle of District 1, and four fireballs on the sides of District 1. He put a lot of fireballs in inhabitant areas around all the districts. He made sure that not a single area on Earth wasn't covered with his fireballs.
After he was sure that every area was covered with fireballs, he flew up high into the sky and created a giant fireball as big as the moon. He then placed another five of them on each side of the Earth. He didn't know how powerful it was, but he believed it was enough to annihilate even the smallest organism that was hidden on Earth.
"If I was allowed to do something like this, I don't think it was necessary for me to invade those worlds to collect my siblings' souls," Lucifer said as he looked at the fireball right above him. "But this is overkill, and I don't think anyone would be able to survive this," Lucifer pointed out as he looked at Mykel.
"There's one, and he will use his power to bring back everyone alive," Mykel answered as he looked down at Earth. "It's time to go back," Mykel said and warped back to his apartment.
(At the Void Cloud)
Mara watched Mykel put out those fireballs, and already knew what he was planning to do. Since her world wasn't affected by the flow of time, his [Chronokinesis] skill didn't work against her world.
"System, give me permission to enter Earth," Mara said calmly as she stared at Earth.
[The system denied your request!]
"System, allow me to watch Earth from up close," Mara requested.
[The system denied your request!]
[Warning!]
[If you try to interfere, all your privileges will be taken away by the system!]
Mara clenched her fists as she gritted her teeth. "System, allows me to use my power to erase those flames," Mara requested again.
[The system denied your request!]
[Warning!]
[If you try to interfere, all your privileges will be taken away by the system!]
Mara was so pissed that she used her void clouds and let them expand to swallow all the planets and the solar systems that existed around her. She destroyed them like it was nothing and made her realm bigger than before. Suddenly she stopped destroying solar systems and thought about something interesting.
Mara covered herself in void clouds and disappeared.
Mara visited Mount Olympus to meet with all the Gods of Greek, and she saw all of them were gathered and frozen in time. She then covered the whole hall with void clouds, making them able to move without the flow of time.
"Goddess Mara!" Zeus said with his eyes wide open.
All the Gods bowed down as they all went down to their knees. It made Mara feel good about herself because the last time she saw them, they didn't fear her. She used the disadvantaged situation and turned it in her favor.
"Goddess Mara, to what do we owe the pleasure to see you in our humble place?" Zeus asked as he kept his head lowered.
Mara looked at each one of them, and there were 12 Gods that were there. She looked at each one of them to look into their memories, and they were all thinking about who Mykel Alester was.
"I see that all of you were curious about him. I'll show you what he's doing right now," Mara said as she snapped her fingers to show the image of Earth from outer space.
They all slowly raised their heads and looked at the giant fireballs that surrounded Earth. They were dumbfounded by how such things could be there in the first place. Mara then rewind the time and let them see who put those fireballs.
Their eyes were trembling in anger and fear at the same time, to see a being that could create such terrifying magic so easily like that. They were wondering why Mykel created them in the first place, but then they realized it when Mara mentioned that time had been stopped.
"He's trying to destroy Earth? The place where we, the Constellations tried to use to fight the demons and Luciel?" Athena asked in disbelief.
It was such an opportunity for Mara that not only did they forget about Mykel's existence, they forgot about the things that were associated with him in the first place. Since Mykel didn't try to take them back, Mara took advantage of it and used the Gods that were on his side to be hers.
"Yes, and as we speak, he's going to kill every human being, and all the Awakeners that exist in that world. This might be his first move, and he can move from one world to another freely which means that he will do the same to the rest of the worlds," Mara explained as she stared at the projected screen. "He's trying to destroy the Constellations and make himself the only ruler," Mara continued as she glanced at everyone's shocked expressions.
Mara used her [Pathokinesis] skill and manipulated their emotions and turned them against Mykel. She managed to make them obey her and took her side to fight Mykel Alester. They were no longer curious because they were blinded by emotions. She learned it from Mykel himself.
With that, Mara brought all the Gods from Greek and made them her allies. To be united and make Mara their only hope to fight Mykel because they believed Mara could easily kill him if she wanted to.
Mara went to Norse and made the same move, but there was a slight problem because Loki felt something was off. Loki and Hel were the only ones who believed that Mykel was their ally, and there was a reason why he suddenly erased their memories.
Unfortunately, Mara managed to subdue them both by using her [Pathokinesis] skill. She manipulated every single one of them, and lastly, she brought Odin back and healed him entirely. She almost got all the heads of the Major Arcana, except one last, Ra the God of Egypt.
Mara brought all the Gods from both Norse and Greek mythology to invade Egypt. With dozens of thousands of Gods with her, Ra didn't dare to even think badly about her and obeyed everything she asked him.
After she managed to bring all the Constellations to her side, except for Luciel since she was down on Earth. She brought them all into the Hall of Arcana because she needed their voice to request the system.
Mara stood in the middle of the table with all the Gods seated in their designated seats. But before she could request anything, notifications appeared in front of some of the Gods. Their Recipients had died, and that included Mara since Rufus and the rest of her Recipients had died.
They all looked at the screen and saw the bright blue and green Earth had turned dark red. They were speechless as the Earth got destroyed before their eyes and they couldn't even do anything about it.
"We are too late to save Earth, but we still can stop him from destroying the other worlds," Mara said and her voice echoed throughout the hall. "I want you all to speak to the system, and ask that we all want to punish Mykel Alester to stop him from this madness," Mara continued.
All of them fumed with rage, and they started to speak to the system as to what Mara told them. She watched them all pray to the system, and then she looked up at the vast space.
"Allow us the Constellations to stop Mykel from destroying the system that you built. We will stop him at all costs, and please accept our sincerity," Mara spoke.
[The system has granted your request!]
[The Constellations are allowed to interfere]
(On Earth)
Everyone was trembling in fear and in disbelief as the flames swallowed and destroyed the city. They were safe because Mykel created a barrier to protect the room they were in.
Mykel looked at Luciel as he nodded his head to signal her about the task he had entrusted to her. Luciel nodded her head and sent all her sisters back to Gehenna, and she left to collect all the souls.
"Mykel, what just happened?" Jeanne asked in a trembling voice.
"I have killed every human on Earth, except us and Asmond that survived the destruction," Mykel continued without showing a tiny bit of guilt.
They looked at Mykel in disbelief even though they knew about the endgame.
"This is the endgame, and we are now fighting against the Constellations," Mykel answered. "Prepare yourself," Mykel said as he turned around and looked at the whole of District 1 that got flattened to the ground.
