Chapter 544 543: It Was Over Before It Began.
"I'm someone that you used to love, and the someone you relied on. We went a lot together, and you were the only one that helped me a long time ago," Mykel answered as he kept rubbing Hera's cheek and smiled gently at her. "Did you seriously don't remember me at all?" Mykel gently rubbed off the tears on Hera's cheeks.
Mykel was wondering if Hera would still remember him even though he made her forget about his existence. But looking at it, it looked like she still remembered his touches and the physical intimacy that they had. Just because she couldn't remember him in her head, her body still remembered him.
"How's Sasha?" Mykel asked as he slowly let go of Hera's hands on his neck, and she didn't try to resist.
"How do you know her?" Hera asked and realized Mykel was holding her hands.
"How could I not? She's our daughter," Mykel answered.
Hera looked at her belly and suddenly Mykel rubbed it as he looked at it with a pitiful smile. "You wanted me to not make her a powerful Goddess, and you only want her to live her life happily. That was what you told me," Mykel continued.
Hera started to cry again not because she remembered, but because she couldn't remember it at all. She felt a big hole in her chest, the hole that used to be filled with her only happiness. It angered her, but no matter how she tried to remember, nothing came out of her mind which irritated her.
"Go back, Hera. I don't want to see you here, and I don't want to hurt you," Mykel said in a sad voice. "I would never dare to mistreat you because I promised you that I would never hurt you," Mykel continued.
Hera didn't know what to do, but listening to how sad he was, it made her feel bad and sad as well. She then looked at her surroundings, and no matter how she looked at it, it would be impossible for them to win against him.
"Please, Hera," Mykel said as he wiped off the tears on her cheeks.
Hera couldn't say no to him and decided to listen to him and left before everyone noticed. Mykel's expression immediately went back to normal as soon as she left Earth. He then flew back to where the others were and saw the Constellations struggle.
Mykel looked at Poseidon and Zeus who were fighting Lucifer, and then he used [Nihilikinesis] skill at them. He removed their existence and made Mara unable to bring them back to life. She warned the Constellations to be cautious with his ability.
Artemis and the others who saw it were terrified and realized they were making a huge mistake to go down to Earth. They realized that the Gods were dying one by one, and the moment they came back to life, they were killed again. Slowly but surely, they started to feel fear and desperation knowing they would only die again and feel pain again over and over.
"How come we are losing this?! We have lost Zeus and Poseidon. We lost our strength significantly, and on the other hand, the enemy grew even stronger," Athena said as she looked at Satan, Beelzebub, Behemoth, and Asmodeus who had killed and consumed Gods.
"How come? Are you not seeing this?" Ares asked as he looked at Gaia and Nyx struggling to fight Luciel. "We have never seen Gaia and Nyx working together, and yet they can't even win against her. They died multiple times, and there's no sign of them winning," Ares continued as he clenched his fists.
"Where's Hera?!" Hades asked as he looked around and let his left arm regenerate. "She was here a moment ago,"
They all looked around and couldn't find her anywhere, but then they saw Mykel landing in front of them. They had a hunch that Mykel had killed her and now there were only a few Olympian Gods left.
Mykel used his [Nihilikinesis] skill and erased Artemis, Hecate, Themis, and Ares' existences. They were terrified and decided to run away, but Lucifer killed them all before they could leave. They were killed and resurrected over and over until they lost their will to fight.
One by one, the Olympian Gods got erased, and they finally gave up and let Mykel kill them all. Seeing that the Olympian Gods had surrendered and accepted their fate, the other Gods decided to retreat.
All the Norse Gods knew that they couldn't win, especially knowing both Nidhoggr and Jormungandr were on the enemy's side. Without Odin and his Gungnir, it would be impossible, not to mention, the Valkyries were busy dealing with Gunnar and the others and they were also losing the battle.
Rangrid, Brunhild, Skuld, and all the Valkyries struggled because Rozan had Zeus' thunderbolt which was enough to injure them. Vincze with Gungnir in his hands made their shields and armor useless. The worst part was they were no match against Gunnar and the others' strength and power.
"It's over," Sven said as he pointed his scythe at Brunhild that was laying on the ground. "It's a shame that we have to fight like this," Sven continued and looked at Brunhild with her face covered in her messy hair.
"We serve a different master, and we can't do anything but obey. Finish your job, Sven. It's an honor to fight you," Brunhild said without any fear.
Sven lifted his scythe and decapitated Brunhild as he looked away because he didn't want to see her beautiful face. The moment Brunhild accepted her defeat, was when the other Valkyries knew that they had lost the war.
(In District 10)
Roxanne and the others looked at all the Gods that entered the portal and left Earth. They were confused and scared by what they saw, and when they asked the Gods that were with them, they said that they had lost the war.
"So you're going to leave?" Enma asked.
"Yes, we have lost, and we heard that Mykel Alsester could erase God's existence that made our immortality useless. It has been confirmed that 19 of the heads of Major Arcana are dead. There's no hope for us, and we regret going down here and declaring war against him," One of the Gods answered.
"Then what? Are you going to let him be? Are you giving up on us and hoping that we can defeat him on our own?" Rufus asked and glared at the Gods.
All the Gods glared at him and it terrified Roxanne and the others by that alone. The Gods then left without saying a word and entered the portals that were in the sky above them.
Roxanne and the others were speechless and felt like they were betrayed by the Gods. But they couldn't do anything because they were no match to the Gods as well even if they wanted to stop them from leaving. They were wondering if it was really the end for them because the enemies they were going to face were the enemies that even the Constellations couldn't face.
"Is this really over?" Roxanne asked.
Mara who watched all the Constellations from the void world felt that it was over before they declared war against Mykel. She decided to go down there personally after the Gods decided to retreat. She realized it was useless to let the Constellations deal with Mykel.
Mykel looked at the sky and felt the familiar feeling that only a being could ooze that powerful aura.
"Luciel, you should leave and bring the Demon Kings and your sisters back to your world. She's coming," Mykel said as he looked at the sky. "Don't worry, she's not going to fight me here, so just leave for now," Mykel pointed out before Luciel could ask.
Luciel nodded with understanding and sent them all back to Gehenna with her. Gunnar and the others watched them leave and wondered why Mykel sent them all back.
"Elena, listen to me. From now on, I want you to stay in the Empyrean World with Lyneth," Mykel said as he put his hands on Elena's face. "I don't want to hear a no from you, do you understand me?" Mykel continued and looked at Elena with a serious expression.
Elena looked angry, but she didn't dare to say anything because she knew that Mykel would be angry at her if she didn't listen to him. She then nodded her head with understanding as she pouted. She left and went to the Empyrean World after she said goodbye to Mykel.
Mykel landed and regrouped with everyone. "She's here," Mykel said as he looked at the sky that was covered with void clouds. "Be prepared," Mykel continued as he fixed his gloves.
