Chapter 559: Telling the whole truth.

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Edith gathered her family in her room while Mykel and Lyneth waited outside as they enjoyed their drinks and smoked on the balcony. They could hear the sobbing and feel their sadness when they heard that Edith would soon leave them. They knew what it meant and so they decided to stay by her side until the day came.

“Lyn, have you ever wondered who I am?” Mykel asked.

“It always came to my mind, but I never thought about it because it was something that I couldn’t comprehend. But that doesn’t mean I’m not curious,” Lyneth answered as she puffed the smoke.

Mykel gently put his hand on Lyneth’s cheek and slowly moved her head so he could see her in the eye. They both stared each other in the eye for a few minutes without blinking their eyes. She suddenly trembled and put her hands on his hand as she glimmered in tears because she couldn’t believe what she saw.

“Mykel…” Lyneth said but she immediately collapsed and fainted because she couldn’t comprehend the truth.

Mykel held her in his arms and gently hugged her as she slowly regained consciousness. She immediately trembled in fear and in disbelief, but since she was in Mykel’s arms, it helped her calm herself down.

“Now that you know, I have to go back,” Mykel said quietly as he gently stroked her hair. “I shouldn’t be here and I have somewhere to go to,” Mykel continued as he kept comforting her.

Lyneth couldn’t say anything and could only hug him so tightly because she didn’t want to see him leave. She was so scared that she might not be able to see him anymore, and she didn’t want to imagine it.

“I’m going to tell everyone later,” Mykel said.

Mykel brought Lyneth back to the world that Mykel created just for the Gods to gather. A world that combined all existing heavens in all mythology by the power of the system. She was still in shock and Mykel asked Elena to comfort her since he had to go back and pick Edith up.

Mykel stopped the time and entered Edith’s room where all her family was sleeping on the couch, floor, and next to the bed. It was in the middle of the night and he immediately commanded the system to put Edith back to her peak as a Goddess just like Sven and the others. He then created a lifeless body that resembled Edith’s and switched the body on the bed.

The moment Mykel continued the time, Bhatmelec and Lucifer came to his world and wondered why he suddenly stopped the time. Lucifer and Bhatmelec could see in Mykel’s expression that he seemed to have resolved what he was going to do.

“The day has finally come,” Lucifer said as he sat next to Mykel and looked at how beautiful the world was. “Are you going to tell everyone now?” Lucifer asked.

“Yes. I’m going to tell them everything. I have been staying here for too long, and it’s time for me to go back,” Mykel answered and looked at the snowy mountains in the distance. “In the first place, I didn’t ask to be brought here, and I have achieved my goal,” Mykel continued.

“By the way you speak, does that mean you will lose everything once you go back to the real world and can’t go back here?” Lucifer asked as he glanced at Mykel.

Mykel smiled and didn’t say anything, but his gazes were enough to tell it was the truth. He did try it decades ago, but a notification appeared in front of him, a warning. The system warned him that once he left, he couldn’t go back anymore and everything that he possessed would disappear. That was why he hesitated to leave because he still wanted to enjoy his time there.

“Is there a reason why you want to go back even though you can have everything here?” Lucifer asked.

“This isn’t my reality. This is like a bad and a good dream for me, and I have to wake up,” Mykel answered with a weak smile.

“Do you want us to help you speak with the others?” Bhatmelec asked as she looked at the river in front of them. “It would be a bit emotional for them, and I don’t think they can accept it,” Bhatmelec continued as she dipped her feet in the river.

“I can do it myself. What’s the worst that could happen?” Mykel smirked as he chuckled.

Mykel spoke to everyone telepathically and summoned them to his world. Jeanne and the others were surprised that they were forced to be there, but they didn’t mind since it had been a while since Mykel summoned them. Not just Hera and all the Gods, but Beldathiel and the Demon Princesses as well.

“Mykel?” Jeanne asked as she looked at Mykel sitting on a big boulder of rock on the riverside.

“I have something to show all of you,” Mykel turned around and jumped down the boulder. “I want you to look at me in the eye and pay attention to what I’m going to show you,” Mykel said with a serious expression.

Everyone gulped and felt something bad was about to happen, but the moment they looked Mykel in the eye, they saw the same thing that Lyneth saw. They made the same reaction and were petrified by it. Suddenly Rozan went down to his knees and started to vomit because it was beyond his comprehension.

The only one who could stand from all that was Jeanne, but her pupils were shaking, and didn’t know what to say. She then snapped back to reality and realized what Bhatmelec said back then, and why Mykel knew everything. It started to come together and it made her realize why he let them all know and what he was going to do.

“Mykel… don’t go…” Jeanne said as she held Mykel’s hand so tightly.

“It’s time for me to go,” Mykel gently smiled.

“What about us? What about Miss Lyneth? Hera? Elena? What about me?! You haven’t given me my wish!” Jeanne responded and she looked really mad. “I don’t want you to leave! Nobody wants you to leave!” Jeanne held Mykel’s hand and didn’t want to let go. She even intended to hurt his hand, but she was too powerless to even make him feel pain.

“You guys are going to be fine with me. I have watched you live fifty years without me and nothing really make a change,” Mykel answered. “And for your wish, I guess I must break my promise for the first time,” Mykel continued.

“No!” Jeanne yelled and started to cry. “Please, don’t go…” Jeanne went down to her knees as she kept holding Mykel’s hand.

Hera looked at Mykel with her eyebrows furrowed and said, “You made this new game so we can keep doing what we are doing, isn’t that right? That’s why you didn’t join us because you want us to forget about you, isn’t it?”

“Well, I’m your creator and of course, I want what’s best for all of you,” Mykel answered as he looked at Loki and the others. “And looking at how every one of you is enjoying it, that’s enough to give me a sigh of relief,” Mykel continued.

Everyone stood there and silently looked at Mykel with various expressions and thoughts in their heads. They were feeling the same way as Jeanne, and none of them wanted him to leave, but if they pissed him off, he would erase everyone’s existence. They left Jeanne alone to do it and hoped she could stop him from leaving.

“It’s not like he won’t come back. He can come and visit us whenever he wants, right?” Rozan asked as he looked at the others and then looked at Lucifer.

“No. Once he left, he can’t go back,” Lucifer answered.

“This is a goodbye,” Mykel said as he gently stroked Jeanne’s head.
