Destroying My Own World

Chapter 267 Mykel's Origin.

Elena spread her life energy and The Lord immediately created a barrier to imprison her and her power inside. Elena who had expected it created a blast with her life energy and it was enough to break the barrier.

The Angels behind Elena flew toward her, but the moment they touched her life energy, their bodies disintegrated. It was so potent that Michael ordered them to not get close to her because it would be a suicide.

"You have been living in peace for too long. Now that you trap me here, don't expect me to stay quiet," Elena warned as she stood in front of The Lord and the Archangels fearlessly. "Send me back, or your world will disappear with you," Elena added.

The Lord decided to stand up and all the Archangels immediately took a step back and lowered their heads. He then walked down the throne and approached Elena slowly.

"I will grant you that wish, only if you can do something for me in return," The Lord said as he stood in front of Elena. He was five times taller than her.

"I'm being nice right now," Elena warned as she coldly stared at the light. "You have five seconds or this world of yours will meet its end," Elena added.

The Lord slowly moved his right hand and everything disappeared, it was the same empty white space. Suddenly, the moment he moved his hand again, they were in the middle of the universe itself.

His presence was the brightest light in the universe and every side of it could see his brilliance. The universe started to swirl around him as he was the center of creation while Elena watched him, unfazed.

"Your power may be able to destroy what I have created, but as long as I'm alive, your destructive power can do no harm," The Lord said calmly.

Elena stood there unwavered and with a mere thought of her, she sent her life energy away. Covered the galaxies and stars in the far distance, and then with a blink of her eyes, she made them disappear. The universe that once was colorful had become an abyss of nothingness.

"It has been more than five seconds, your time is up," Elena said and wrapped The Lord with her life energy.

"You said this world is peaceful, but you only see what your eyes can see," The Lord said as he lifted his hand and managed to push Elena's life energy and wasn't affected by it. "Your power can erase existence, but my existence is different from the rest as I'm everlasting with no beginning," The Lord continued and blasted Elena away from him.

Elena was quite shocked when her [Nihility] skill couldn't affect The Lord, or only did a little. She was so sure that The Lord was born from the egg and his existence should have a beginning based on that. Something then came to her mind and realized that maybe The Lord she was facing had a different origin from the one that Mykel was facing.

"You have finally figured it out that not all of me have the same origin," The Lord said as he looked at the abyss, and yet it was bright of Elena's life force.

The Lord summoned the essence of life through his fingertips, breathing it into the abyss created by Elena. Stars were reborn, and galaxies flourished once more, pushing back the nothingness that threatened to consume all.

"Every single one of me exists from a different time and how we all ended up in the world that we are in," The Lord said as he saw the stars blinking in the distance. "I'm originally not from this world, I existed long before this universe I created," The Lord continued.

"He knew I couldn't defeat you because of your origin," Elena said as she clenched her fists because she was annoyed and angry. "You're different, and perhaps you might be one of the oldest ones," Elena continued and tried to calm herself down as she tried to get as much information as she could get.

"You can say that, but it's not as simple as that," The Lord answered. "I wasn't created and nor I was born. I exist as I wake up from a sleep. I'm aware that I'm alive and I'm the one who exist before everything, and I have created many of myself and hundreds of worlds," The Lord explained and didn't hesitate to tell his past.

"Why are you telling me all this? If you're trying to bring me to your side, you're only wasting your time," Elena stared at the light in front of her.

"Because you need to know the truth about who your father is. The being that was next to me when I woke up, the shadow of myself," The Lord answered. "I'm telling you this because the nature of your father, and the power that you possess right now is only a tiny portion of your father's true colors. His ambition is the reason why I have been running away from him, finding a way to erase him or just to be away from him," The Lord pointed out.

Elena was confused about how Mykel who was the same being as The Lord himself could end up becoming a mere mortal. So many questions popped up in her mind and she wanted to know more about it.

"I'm not really a threat here. Of course, it's understandable that you think I'm a threat since you met another me who's hostile toward Mykel. I'm not saying I'm different, but I'm not your enemy in here nor you're an enemy of mine," The Lord said as he snapped his fingers and opened a gate behind him. "If you want to hear everything, perhaps you will reconsider the thing I need your help with," The Lord continued as he pointed at the gate.

Elena walked into the gate and that was when she realized she wasn't brought to the Kingdom. She was standing in the past, a memory of The Lord that made her able to live in the past just like how Little Mykel did with his power.

In the beginning, there was nothing but an endless void of absolute darkness, a desolation that stretched beyond time and comprehension. This void existed without purpose or form, an abyss untouched by any spark of life or creation.

Then, one day, as if emerging from a slumber that had lasted for eternity, a consciousness stirred within the void. This being, who was The Lord, awakened to a profound awareness of his existence. In his awakening, he was bathed in radiant light, the very essence of creation itself. This light illuminated the darkness around him, revealing the limitless potential that lay within his grasp.

As The Lord contemplated the nature of his newfound power, he realized that he possessed the ability to shape the formless void into something extraordinary. With a mere thought, he brought forth galaxies, stars, planets, and the diverse tapestry of life that would come to inhabit them. He sculpted the very laws of the world and the fundamental forces that would govern the universe.

Yet, as The Lord reveled in the beauty of his creation, a subtle realization began to gnaw at the edges of his consciousness. He sensed a presence within the shadows, a counterpart to his brilliant light. This entity, shrouded in darkness, was no less powerful than him. The being revealed itself as Mykel, the shadow of The Lord's own light.

Mykel harbored ambitions as vast and boundless as the cosmos itself. He desired to consume The Lord's light, to become the dominant force in this new universe of their creation. The Lord and Mykel were two sides of the same cosmic coin, forever intertwined in a delicate balance between creation and destruction, light and darkness.

The universe they had jointly formed became the battleground for their eternal struggle. The Lord continued to nurture and protect his creation, infusing it with life and wonder. Meanwhile, Mykel sought to corrupt and consume light, his ambition knowing no bounds.

Their cosmic dance, a dance of creation and destruction, persisted throughout the ages. It shaped the destiny of galaxies, the rise and fall of civilizations, and the fate of countless beings who gazed upon the stars in awe and wonder.

The secret of their intertwined existence remained hidden from most, a silent cosmic drama unfolding on a scale beyond mortal comprehension. The Lord and Mykel, creators and adversaries, continued their eternal struggle, each determined to fulfill their destiny in the boundless expanse of the universe they had brought into being.

"The darker the room, the brighter the light can radiate, and the brighter the room, the darker the shadow it casts," The Lord stood next to Elena. "The more I radiate my light, the stronger Mykel becomes, and the less light I radiate, the weaker he becomes. That's the true nature of him and I," The Lord looked at Elena.

Elena was still shocked by the memories, but those memories, Mykel was nothing but the darkness itself, without a shape or form.

"It wasn't mere envy," The Lord somberly declared, his gaze locked upon the spectral memories of himself. "The very essence of his existence is his insatiable ambition," he continued. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

"It is his nature, an indomitable force beyond the grasp of morality. Wherever he goes, the imminent shadow of destruction follows in his wake, yet he is not tainted by the label of evil," The Lord said, his words echoing through the abyss of time. "You know him, for you have witnessed it with your own eyes. Regardless of his current state of weakness, as long as he endures, he will inexorably accrue power through the death and cataclysm he carries with him," he pointed out.
