[System is overriding....]

[Estimated time until the system is reestablished: 647 Hours 44 Minutes 36 seconds]

"You haven’t told us about what you said back then, Mykel. The upper hand that you got," Aurea said as she walked to the living room after she took a nice bath.

"Remember what happened to me when we were fighting all the angels?" Mykel asked as he stared at the bottles in the minibar. "I lost my power because The Lord tried to take over my system, and I believe that was why that this new system is similar to mine," Mykel explained and took a bottle of vodka from the shelf.

"Hold on, Mykel. Is it really okay if we speak about this? Aren’t you afraid that The Lord can hear our conversation? Are you not afraid that The Lord will do something to prevent your plan?" Jeanne asked with a worried expression.

"That being is the God that the majority of people believe in. The one who stands above all creatures and beings. Even if I don’t speak about it, The Lord could read my mind and thoughts, and even my intentions of what I’m going to do," Mykel answered and walked back to the living room. "But did The Lord ever try to stop me? He only watches from where he sits because he knows that isn’t a problem for him," Mykel continued.

"So The Lord is unlike Mara or Lucifer who try to scheme behind your back or try to stop you with any kind of method? But what about these Seven Virtues Awakeners? Isn’t that one of his plans to stop you?" Jeanne asked.

"No, I don’t think those Awakeners are chosen by him to stop me, they’re chosen to stop the demons from destroying the world. Even if they made them stop me, do you think they can do that with the power that I have with my system?" Mykel asked as he looked at Jeanne.

"They can if The Lord decides to interfere. We can’t be so sure about him not going to interfere, Mykel. You’re the first person who would think like that, so why are you not suspicious about him or those Awakeners?" Aurea asked as she sat next to Lillith and leaned her head on Lillith’s left shoulder.

"Because I have you guys," Mykel answered and drank the vodka.

Everyone furrowed their eyebrows because his answer wasn’t convincing enough to them. No matter how strong they were, without Mykel and his system, they were nothing.

"You have witnessed it with your own two eyes, Jeanne, Aurea," Mykel said. "Remember when Eun Soo tried to heal your hands and her skill didn’t work? You have found the answer, Aurea," Mykel pointed out.

"That we aren’t humans?" Aurea asked.

"To be exact, you guys aren’t The Lord’s creations, that’s why the power didn’t work on you both," Mykel answered.

"So you’re saying is that we are invincible from The Lord’s power?" Rozan asked as he tilted his head and furrowed his eyebrows.

"Correct. Your existence can’t be erased by his power, but that doesn’t mean he and his army of angels can’t kill you with brute power. But, as long as I have the system that keeps on running, you all are invincible," Mykel nodded his head in agreement.

"That’s if the system will stay. What if the system will be terminated by him? What if you died since you’re one of his creations? We need assurance that we will be fine, Mykel," Jeanne said and she was staring at Mykel with a worried expression.

Mykel didn’t answer a single question that Jeanne asked, but he didn’t look worried at all. Elena already knew what would happen if Mykel died, and that was that she would be the one who took over everything just like last time. Even though she knew, imagining that she would be separated again from Mykel made her emotional because she couldn’t live without him.

"Mykel, answer me, please," Jeanne said as she walked toward Mykel and then held his hand tightly. "I don’t care if we fail, I don’t care if we will end up in that place again, I don’t care if you don’t destroy this world of yours. All I want is to live with you. I would rather stay in hell and be tortured for eternity as long as I can be with you," Jeanne continued and she looked scared.

"There’s another option where all of you can go back to the worlds that I created, and you can live with me there," Mykel answered.

"How? You will be dead by the snap of The Lord’s fingers if you ran away. There’s no way you can live forever like us," Aurea said as she looked at Mykel.

"Not the real me, but the me that I will create through the system which made him just like you," Mykel answered.

"No!" Elena, Jeanne, Lyneth, and Aurea shouted at the same time as they all surrounded Mykel.

"Fuck that! I don’t want to live with a fake or a duplicate of you," Aurea said. "And there’s no guarantee that the system will stay exist if you die," Aurea pointed out.

"I know, that’s why I will need to find the answer behind this system of mine. Where it came from, how it happened, and who gave it to me. Whoever gave me this power, that someone is the one who can give me the answer," Mykel said as he looked at them. "I don’t even have the plan to fight The Lord, and that’s why I can’t give you any answer," Mykel looked at Jeanne.

"When is the system will be back?" Elena asked.

"Twenty-eight days," Mykel answered as he looked at his status screen. "Let’s not talk about this until I can confirm with the system. Let me think about it in the meantime," Mykel said as he gently rubbed Elena’s head.

They all nodded their heads, and then Mykel went to the balcony to smoke and enjoy the bottle of vodka in his hand. He then grabbed his phone and made a phone call to Alfredo since he had a question for him.

"Mykel, I have received all the artifacts that you collected," Alfredo said as soon as he picked up the call.

"How are they? Are they to your liking?" Mykel asked as he smoked his cigarette.

"They’re amazing. Also, I heard that you’re going to give me more later. I can’t wait to get them in my hands," Alfredo said and he sounded so happy.

"Yes, but there’s a change of plan. I can’t get them since the Olympian’s Guild and the Valhalla Guild are going to come with me. I think I’ll give those artifacts to them," Mykel replied as he looked at the bright sky.

"What’s that supposed to mean? So you’re not going to get them for me?" Alfredo asked.

"I will give you artifacts, but not the ones from the Winter Guild," Mykel answered. "I’ll go to Korea and kill the Chosen Ones to get their artifacts," Mykel continued.

"The Sinwha Clan?" Alfredo asked.

"No. I heard there’s a new clan there. New Chosen Ones decided to create their own clan. I’ll use that opportunity to eliminate them and take their possessions," Mykel answered.

"Ah, I heard about that. Well, I don’t really care about your method as long as you’re not going to drag me into that mess. I’ll wait for you to bring other artifacts," Alfredo said. "Anyway, what’s the reason you’re calling me?" Alfredo asked.

"Do we have members in Russia?" Mykel asked.

"No, Russia is too powerful even for our society. That place is dangerous for us to infiltrate because we have tried many times, but they all ended up in pieces," Alfredo answered. "Why do you ask," Alfredo asked.

"I’m also planning to go there as well. I have a business there," Mykel answered. "That’s all I want to ask. I’ll call you later once I got the artifacts in my hands," Mykel continued and then hung up the phone.

Mykel emptied the bottle and then tossed his phone to the table. He then smiled as he walked to the edge and flicked the butt of the cigarette. "Russia is dangerous, huh? Looks like I can get a new business partner that can threaten the Redshield," Mykel said as he puffed the smoke.
