“What do you mean by playing God, Mykel?” Aurea asked as she sat next to Mykel and leaned against the table behind her.

“Those two will tell you everything,” Mykel answered as he nodded up at Lucifer and Bhatmelec who were standing next to each other. “But that’s if you’re interested in it,” Mykel looked at everyone.

Rozan and Sven looked at each other and they were the ones who seemed interested in what Mykel proposed. They both then approached Lucifer and Bhatmelec to ask about what Mykel meant by playing God.

“Before that, what happened to Goddess Hera and the others? Why they suddenly attacked us and loathed you?” Jeanne asked as she went down to her knees in front of Elena so she could play with her small hands.

“I made them forget about me,” Mykel said as he looked Jeanne in the eye.

“You can do something like that? And even now they still don’t know who you are?” Jeanne asked again.

“Yes, and if I want to, I can make you forget about me as well in a blink of an eye,” Mykel answered with a serious expression.

Jeanne tightened her grip on Elena’s hands because hearing that made her scared. Elena looked at Jeanne and she looked terrified, and she felt the pressure on her hands even though it only felt like her hands were being squeezed gently.

“Father, Jeanne is going to cry,” Elena said as she stared into Jeanne’s eyes.

“I’m just joking,” Mykel chuckled as he looked at Jeanne with a gentle smile.

Jeanne looked at Mykel and couldn’t believe what she just heard and saw. It wasn’t just her, but everyone was staring at him in disbelief. They never thought Mykel would say something like that and the way he smiled and chuckled felt genuine.

“What?” Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.

“Boss, you’re acting weirdly that it makes me uncomfortable…” Gunnar said as he kept staring at Mykel.

“Am I?” Mykel asked as he looked down at Elena on his lap.

“Yeah, you look so happy and you no longer feel anxious,” Elena answered as she looked up at Mykel.

They all looked at Mykel for a moment and realized what Elena meant by that. They could see that he looked brighter and didn’t look unapproachable anymore.

“That’s because I have achieved my goal, and now I can enjoy everything here without any worries,” Mykel said as he gently stroked Elena’s hair. “Anyway, why don’t you guys join the Constellation? I can assure you that you guys are doing to enjoy this,” Mykel pointed out.

Jeanne looked at Aurea and they both nodded their heads. They both requested the system to join the Constellations, and they were immediately introduced to the Constellations system. Rozan and the others then followed them and joined the Constellations except for Edith who was still thinking about it.

“You want a normal life, Edith?” Mykel asked.

Edith nodded her head as she wrapped her arms around her daughters from behind. She didn’t want to neglect her job as a mother, and Mykel had promised her that he would let her and her daughters live normally.

“I understand,” Mykel slowly stood up and carried Elena on his left arm. “Let’s have a private conversation inside,” Mykel said as he tilted his head toward the palace he had created.

They both went inside and went into the bedroom where her daughters stayed. Mykel sat down next to the window as Edith stood right next to him and silently watched everyone through the window.

“There are at least a hundred worlds that might suit for them to live in. How about you see them for yourself?” Mykel asked.

“I’m fine with whichever world you’re going to send us. I can start a new life there and I’m capable enough to live on my own,” Edith answered with a gentle smile.

“Everyone still has their one wish, what about you? Do you have something in mind?” Mykel asked as he looked at Edith.

“Can I have a hug?” Edith asked as she opened her arms.

Mykel nodded his head and hugged Edith as he stroked her back. It was the first time they were making physical intimacy with each other. Edith hugged him so tightly and realized how comfortable it was, and wondered why she never made a move on him.

“Don’t. I know you promise to your late husband to stay loyal to him,” Mykel said as he gently stroked Edith’s hair. “Since it’s over, I can bring your husband back to life. Start a new life with your lovely family. You have been wanting to ask me that, right?” Mykel asked with a smile.

Edith started to cry as she nodded her head repeatedly. “Thank you, Mister Mykel,” Edith said in her trembling voice.

“No, it’s all thanks to you that we are all here, Edith. Everything that I had done and prepared, it was all thanks to your vision. If there’s anything you want, speak to me and I’ll give you everything,” Mykel said as he slowly removed his arms and looked at Edith. “Thank you,” Mykel gently wiped her eyes and kissed on her forehead.

Edith smiled and nodded her head as she chuckled.

After that, they both came back and they could see Edith’s red eyes. Aurea thought that Mykel would try to sleep with Edith, but it turned out it wasn’t the case. Edith then told everyone about her wish, and they were all sad and happy that she wouldn’t be with them anymore.

Edith said goodbye to everyone, but even though she was leaving, that didn’t mean they wouldn’t be able to visit her. They watched Edith teleport with Mykel and her daughters.

The world was similar to Earth, there were dozens of countries with two big continents that were split by the sea. It was a modern world and there weren’t any conflicts with each country, and Mykel jokingly said that he would destroy that world if he found out that she wasn’t happy living in that world.

Edith was confused, but then a red SUV parked right in front of them. Edith and her daughters were surprised to see their father and husband come out of the car in a suit.

Mykel altered Edith’s daughters and husband’s memories that made them like a normal happy family. Edith was shocked when her husband hugged her so tightly and how she missed him so much. When she wanted to speak with Mykel, he had already left and it made her a bit sad that she couldn’t say goodbye to him.

Mykel came back to the Empyrean World, and they all looked at Mykel smiling. He indeed looked happy and had no more weight on his shoulders. Everyone was enjoying their drinks and didn’t want to waste them.

“What are we going to do now, Mykel? We joined the Constellations, and then what?” Aurea asked.

“Are you guys done drinking?” Mykel asked, and then all of them nodded their heads. “Alright, let’s meet with the Gods and Goddesses,” Mykel said as he grabbed a pack of cigarettes in his pocket.

Mykel and the others arrived at the Hall of Arcana, and it was the first time they had been there. They were fascinated by how big the hall was and how the stars and the solar systems were orbiting the hall. Lyneth and Elena were there as well since they wanted to join to see Hera and the others.

Mykel commanded the system to summon all the Constellations to the Temple of Triumph. A notification appeared in front of Jeanne and the others, the system notified them that all the Constellations would be teleported to the Temple of Triumph in five minutes.

They watched as the giant doors opened in the far distance, and they saw the Gods and Goddesses come into the Hall of Arcana. The moment they saw Mykel with Jeanne and the others behind him and Nidhoggr and Jormungandr floating above the hall made them terrified.

Mykel was sitting on the throne that belonged to Mara, and they knew that Mara had died because of the vacancy on the seat of the World Arcana. They knew who was capable enough to kill her, and that being was sitting on her chair.

Everyone sat down to their designated seats and silently stared at Mykel with fear written on their faces.

“There are at least forty thousand Gods and Goddesses in this hall,” Mykel said as he looked from left to right. “That’s too many. Let’s reduce them,” Mykel commanded the system.

[Initiating…]

[Erasing the Gods and Goddesses that are not associated with Mykel Alester]

[40,392 Constellations have been erased]

[273 Constellations remained]

“Now this is more like it,” Mykel said as he crossed his legs and leaned on the throne.
