Destroying My Own World

Elena and the others looked at Lyneth who stood at the front while Jeanne and the others stood behind her. She noticed that she couldn't find herself in that group or Mykel, and it made her wonder where her other self went. She then looked at Lyneth and her power didn't resonate with her, unlike her mother who was right behind her.

"Are you guys from the future?" Rozan looked at his other self.

"It's complicated. You won't understand because time and space are quite messed up in our world," Rozan answered and didn't know what else to say. "Well, you can say that we came after you. We are basically the product of what you're trying to do right now," he pointed at the paradox that Mykel and the others made.

It was so awkward because it was the first time they saw each other with their own eyes. Even Lyneth couldn't help but feel awkward when her other self stared at her with a disturbed expression.

"You said they're allies, but how do you know that before they even showed themselves earlier?" Elena looked at Mykel with her eyebrows furrowed.

"Let me explain," Lyneth said as she walked toward Elena, but then Elena took a few steps back because she was suspicious of her. "I'm here to help you, and to help ourselves," she pointed out and she was saddened that Elena was avoiding her.

Mykel brought them to the palace and separated the hall where Lyneth and the others sat on the left side while he and the others sat on the right side. He then explained to them about his first encounter with Lyneth and about the warning she had given him.

When Mykel told them what he heard from Lyneth about what kind of future that awaited them, they were shocked. Nobody believed her words and Elena was the one who was quite vocal about her disbelief and suspicions about Lyneth and the others.

"I know you so well that words won't be able to convince you once you're like this," Lyneth stared at Elena. "What about you fight one of us? You will understand the reason why your fate ended that way," she glanced at Jeanne and the others.

Aurea looked at Jeanne, and then Jeanne shook her head because she knew she could defeat Elena easily. Aurea then looked at Luciel and Luciel shook her head as well because of the same reason. She didn't want to fight Elena as well because she knew it would be a piece of cake for her.

"I'll do it if nobody wants to do it," Sasha said.

Elena looked at Sasha and she showed her hatred toward Sasha because back then she hated Sasha the most.

"Come outside then," Elena stood up and then left the palace.

Everyone followed them and stood in front of the palace while Elena and Sasha stood on the field quite far from the palace. Mykel and his team knew how strong Elena was and how untouchable she was. Nobody could defeat her and it would be a piece of cake to defeat Sasha since in their heads Sasha was a weakling, a tool that was used by all sides.

"Don't hold yourself back," Sasha said as she looked at Elena.

"I'm not planning to," Elena released her life energy and dashed toward Sasha, turning the ground and the whole islands behind her to dust.

Sasha didn't move a muscle and when Elena was close enough to her, she released the abyss and grabbed Elena's body. She was easily stopped by Elena and the unstoppable force Elena brought with her and it shocked everyone. She watched Elena struggle as Elena tried to release more of her life energy but the energy became a delicious meal for Sasha.

Elena was powerless and she didn't want to admit it, but the more energy she released, the stronger the abyss became. When she tried to free herself, Sasha was standing in front of her and then kicked her right in the stomach. She was thrown far away in the blink of an eye, and the impact made the islands around them disintegrate. If it wasn't because of Amaryllis' barrier, Mykel and the others would have died.

Amaryllis from the past looked at herself and couldn't believe that she could stop such force with a mere thin barrier.

"Sasha barely used her power there," Amaryllis pointed out as she removed the barrier. "And the enemy we are currently fighting is powerful enough to kill all of us with a single move," she added.

Mykel and his team looked at Amaryllis with various expressions and their minds were blown by those facts. They realized how terrifying the future was and why they failed to survive, leaving Mykel as the only hope which ended up becoming a stepping stone for his other self.

A loud explosion could be heard from the far distance and then Elena came back with everything she got. She flattened the Empyrean World, destroying all the islands and everyone that lived on them. When she threw a punch at Sasha with all her might, her fist was blocked by the abyss and absorbed the impact and the force.

"How long are you going to try?" Sasha stared Elena in the eyes.

Elena didn't want to accept Sasha was stronger than her, especially when Mykel was watching them. She then risked everything and used everything that she had to free herself from Sasha's grasp. She tore the abyss which shocked Amaryllis and the others, but to her surprise, the abyss was endless and it immediately grabbed her body again before she could react.

"I never knew you were this stubborn..." Sasha looked at Elena and decided to clog her body with the abyss, preventing Elena from harming herself further.

Elena couldn't release her power anymore, and suddenly she felt weak and lost her strength. She was brought back to Mykel's side by Sasha who let him calm her down since only Mykel could do it.

"That's one, is there anyone else who wants to test us?" Aurea asked as she looked at Jeanne, Luciel, and herself who stood on the opposite side of her. "I don't mind taking all of you as my opponent, including you Mykel," she smirked as she looked at Mykel.

"You guys can have fun with your other self," Mykel looked at Jeanne and the others. "It would be great if you guys can learn something from them. I would do the same if I could have the opportunity to see my other self," he said as he carried Elena.

Lyneth looked at the mess and then simply reversed the damage with only her thoughts. She then noticed that Mykel was staring at her and knew she was the one who did it. She watched Mykel bring Elena back to the cabin so she could rest and regain her life energy.

Lyneth went into the cabin and saw Elena resting on the bed while Mykel and his Lyneth sat at the table. She could tell that Lyneth felt inferior to her and a bit jealous that Mykel was impressed by her.

"He's not my Mykel. I only love Mykel from my world and nobody else," Lyneth looked at her other self. "I'm not going to take him from you," she continued as she sat across the table.

The other Lyneth could see that Lyneth had gone through a lot based on how she was different from her. She felt bad, and she could understand what Lyneth was feeling knowing Mykel and Elena were risking their lives out there.

"How are you going to help us?" Mykel asked.

"By giving you the power to fight Aevia, but before that, you have to understand the power within your body," Lyneth answered. "Sasha will help you learn and you know why she's the one who can help you," she added.

Mykel nodded with understanding because he put Sasha's soul into his body so she could have the peace she had been longing for. He was the one who gave her half of his power and let her live within him and enjoy the life she had never had.

"You're going to suffer, and it's the only way," Lyneth looked at Mykel with a serious expression. "Elena and the others should deal with you first so they can awaken the power within them," she continued.

"It's the only way, and the moment you master Aevia's power, I want you to save them..." Lyneth frowned with sadness in her eyes. "We know that we won't be able to help them, and the only ones who can help them are you and Elena," she pointed out.

Elena who heard the conversation could feel the sadness and the desperation in Lyneth's voice. She wondered what Mykel and her other self had gone through out there. She then looked at Mykel and she would do the same thing for him if she was in that situation.

While Elena thought about it, she saw Mykel walking past the room and leaving the cabin. She crawled to the window next to her bed and saw him approaching Sasha who was sitting at the table near the tree on her own.

"Lyn... I mean Lyneth told me to learn the power within my body," Mykel said as he sat across from Sasha.

"Yes, since the power is originally yours and I only inherited it from you, but there's one request I want you to promise me," Sasha looked at Mykel. "Please keep her inside you and protect her little world. I don't want her to know and let her have her peace," she said as she looked at Mykel's chest.

"I promise," Mykel nodded with his eyes closed. "I will let her live in her small world," he assured.

"Thank you, and now it's time for you to taste your own power," Sasha grabbed Mykel's hand and transferred a tiny bit of the abyss into his body.
