Mykel casually walked toward the table but realized the Heptagon had turned into an Octagon. He walked toward the source of the Void Clouds and saw his seat on the top side of the table being covered by the clouds. He casually blew the cloud with his right hand, and then sat on it.

“We are having a meeting here, if you don’t like to sit next to me, you can leave,” Mykel said as he stared at the lump of cloud next to him. “Since I paid for the reparation, you owe me one. So why don’t you stop being stingy and let us have a peaceful meeting?” Mykel sighed.

The Void Clouds slowly were pulled back and all the Constellations decided to enter after Mykel boldly confronted Mara. They all went to their own seats while the head of Major Arcana walked to the Octagon.

Everyone stared at the lump of clouds next to Mykel. They were so nervous to be there. The worst part was they couldn’t leave until all Major Arcana had decided to end the meeting.

Mykel stood up as he cleared his throat, and everyone started to avert their gaze toward him.

“The reason why I’m asking for this meeting isn’t to ask all of you to pay for the reparation. I’m asking all of you to come because of one reason, and that’s what we will do once all the towers disappear,” Mykel said as he looked from left to right. “As you all know, the only entertainment that we have is about to be over thanks to my Recipients. I’m asking all of you what we are going to do next,” Mykel continued as he put his hands on the table.

Mykel started to change the atmosphere by using Hades’ words about the existence of Gods. He tried to stir up opinions about them being forgotten because humans wouldn’t need them anymore if there was no threat. Losing the privilege and power that the Gods had been using to show who was better, stronger, and more famous among mortals.

“With that being said, isn’t it weird? We have to kill her if the game wants to end,” Mykel pointed at Luciel. “Have you ever thought about this?” Mykel asked and looked at the Gods.

Hera and Nyx looked at Mykel and knew where the conversation was going.

“Let me tell you a story about how all of this started,” Mykel smiled as he glanced at the lump of cloud next to him.

(In Gehenna)

“Remember to hold it as high as you can because I don’t want to decapitate your head by the impact,” Aurea was floating right in front of Jeanne with two swords ready in her hands.

Jeanne took a deep breath as she stared at the Soul Catcher Sword floating right in front of her.

“Alright, I’m ready,” Jeanne exhaled deeply as Kiersha’s snake slithered around her waist. Kiersha’s snake slowly became one with Jeanne’s skin and turned into a black mark on her body.

Jeanne held the sword with both hands, and immediately she got transferred to the same place as before. Hanessi was there and staring at her menacingly. He didn’t say a single word and pulled her toward him where his hands were ready to strangle her.

Jeanne fell to the ground as soon as she held the sword, and Aurea couldn’t cut the sword because Jeanne was holding it right above her chest. Beldathiel then used [Telekinesis] and forced the sword to float above Jeanne’s body.

“Now!” Beldathiel shouted.

Aurea activated the [Soul Siphon] and the moment she hardened her arms muscles, a shockwave struck everyone. She held the swords so tightly as she swung them toward the Soul Catcher Sword from both sides. She screamed her lungs out to transfer all the momentum to her wrists, and then she clashed the Soul Catcher Sword with her swords.

To everyone’s surprise, the sword shattered into pieces, not only the Soul Catcher’s sword, but also Aurea’s sword. The only sword that survived was the handleless sword. A massive shockwave sent Aurea flying so far away and lost her grasp on the handleless sword.

“Deviatris! Glasya! Lilith! Now!” Beldathiel said.

Deviatris activated [Tombstone] to summon all her homunculus, and then she, Glasya, and Lilith left their bodies and their souls flew into Jeanne’s body. The reason why Beldathiel sent them to possess Jeanne’s body was to fight Hanessi’s subconsciousness. They needed to fight from the inside while the rest fought Jeanne’s possessed body.

Glasya was basically useless fighting against Hanessi because her [Holy Flame] skill wouldn’t work against a divine being. Lilith’s [Lust] skill also couldn’t be used because the only one who could trigger that was Mykel. Deviatris on the other hand, she let the Homunculus take her body, and tried to feed Nefarath’s [Gluttony] with all the homunculus she brought.

Nephilim saw a blinding light come out from the shattered sword and it entered Jeanne’s body in a blink of an eye. She immediately tore one of the papers and immediately activated the [Infernokinesis] skill that she borrowed from Luciel. She could feel every inch of Gehenna like it was her own body and started to create a barrier to prevent everything from entering. She then sent Aurea to her side with the handleless sword.

“You okay?” Nephilim asked.

“Yeah, I lost all my fingers because of the blade…” Aurea answered as her left fingers regenerated.

Jeanne screamed her lungs out so that her throat started to bleed and splurted blood from her mouth. Suddenly two translucent wings appeared on her back, and her eyes started to glow white.

Vixelleth used [Unholy Water] and sent the waterball toward Jeanne, but it was already too late because an invisible barrier protected Jeanne’s body. It was an anti-magic barrier and anti-element barrier as Luciel said. She had no more options and decided to give support to the rest of her sisters.

“A powerful body that suits my power,” Jeanne said but in a man’s voice as she looked at her hands with a bit of a smile. “It’s a shame that you destroy my sword,” Jeanne said as she looked at all the Demon Princesses in their true form. “But that won’t be a problem,” Jeanne pointed her hand at the pieces of the sword and created something new with it.

“You must be joking…” Aurea said as she looked at the giant sword that Jeanne had created.

“It’s called Creator which allows him to create everything into anything as he pleased. It would be bad if he’s going to use it for something else. Steal it,” Beldathiel said.

Nephilim opened her book and pointed at Jeanne. She then locked the [Creator] ability into the book. Hanessi noticed his [Creator] skill got locked and he couldn’t use it anymore. He then looked at his surroundings and realized where he was.

“So I’m in my brother’s place, looks like I can’t leave this place,” Jeanne said as she swung the sword around. “This will be an easy fight since my brother isn’t here,” Jeanne readied her stance and teleported right in front of Nephilim. “You’ll be my first target,” Jeanne smirked.

Before Jeanne could swing her sword, Aurea stabbed her right on her left rib from the side. Aurea then kicked her away from Nephilim and immediately flew toward Jeanne who hadn’t recovered from it.

Aurea was about to cut Jeanne’s body in half, but Jeanne suddenly flew up. Aurea tried to follow her, but Jeanne was too fast because the translucent wings on her back didn’t get affected by pressure and wind.

Jeanne was right above Aurea, but suddenly Jeanne disappeared and reappeared in a blink of an eye. She was already facing Aurea with her sword about to cut Aurea in half. Aurea was startled and couldn’t dodge it and Jeanne cut Aurea’s right shoulder and down to her chest. Fortunately, Nefarath threw a web onto Aurea’s back and pulled her down before Jeanne could cut her in half.

Aurea glared at smirking Jeanne as she regenerated the wound.

“Don’t take him one on one, Aurea. It would be bad if he stole Luciel’s sword from you,” Nefarath said as she floated next to Aurea with her webs wings.

“Thanks for saving me there. He caught me off guard,” Aurea said as she looked at her right shoulder which had fully healed.

“Thanks to you, Nephilim managed to lock his skill to teleport, but that’s her last page. So we can’t rely on her anymore,” Nefarath said as she looked at Nephilim with five papers floating around her body. “Our sisters are eager to fight as well, so don’t try to take him on your own,” Nefarath watched as Zherlthsh, Frigna, Sapphira, and Kiersha flew toward them.

Beldathiel spread her golden wings and approached them.

“Remember, his anti-magic and anti-element barrier is still there. You can only use a physical attack against him. Watch each other’s back, and hope Deviatris, Lillith, and Glasya could fight him in there,” Beldathiel said.

“There’s no way you came here to just warn us, right?” Kiersha asked as she covered her wings with [Eternal Ice].

Beldathiel showed her dice and let it go down.

“If it’s a big number, destroy the anti-magic and anti-element barrier around Jeanne’s body. If it’s a small number, take my life,” Beldathiel said as she looked down and watched the dice roll over on the ground.

The dice landed on number five and all of them smirked as they scoffed.

“Looks like we can go all out now, sisters,” Frigna said as she covered her hands with [Eternal Ice].
