"Father! Why... are you... so hard... to hit!" Elena threw punches, knees, and kicks at Mykel, but she couldn't land a single hit on him.
"You're too young, your posture and unnecessary movements made your moves easy to read. Your excessive breathing is slowing you down," Mykel answered with a smirk on his face as he dodged them all.
Elena was so frustrated that she gave up on punching and kicking. She grabbed Mykel's waist and wrapped her arms around his body as she pushed him down. She sat on top of Mykel and started copying his street fight style by throwing punches at him while he was on the ground.
Mykel didn't hesitate to push her down since her legs didn't lock his arms as she sat on top of him. He immediately showed her how it was done and locked her arms as he tried to not sit on top of her chest.
"This is how you do it, Elena," Mykel said.
Elena's face suddenly went red and she looked so angry, but suddenly she started to cry which surprised him. She started to sob and cry like a baby, and when Mykel decided to stand up to comfort her, she giggled and pushed him back down. She copied the way he locked her arms with his thighs and looked so happy about it.
"I give up," Mykel scoffed as she looked at Elena who still had tears in her eyes.
Elena giggled as she leaned down and hugged Mykel happily and so tightly.
"It's time to go back, mother is going to be worried if you're not there with her," Mykel wiped the tears from her eyes with his thumbs.
Elena slowly shrunk her body and became a baby again as she was testing on top of Mykel's chest. They both then went back inside the apartment after Mykel changed her clothes and put on the onesie that she wore earlier.
Lyneth was still asleep, so Mykel decided to take a short nap as well with her and Elena. Although she was sleeping, she knew when Mykel was on the bed and decided to hug him for his warmth.
Mykel was awoken by Lyneth's voice in the living room. The first thing he checked was Jeanne's condition. To his surprise, Jeanne was no longer shackled and imprisoned by the eternal ice.
He checked Jeanne's [Status Screen] and jolted from the bed when he saw Jeanne's [Race] turned into [Celestial]. He looked at Jeanne's skills and saw the same skills that he had.
"Antimatter Barrier, Celestial King Aura, Creator, Divine Blast, and lastly the Caelestikinesis skill," Mykel talked to himself with a huge grin on his face. "Hmm? What's this? Celestial Soul?" Mykel asked with his eyebrows furrowed.
[Celestial Soul: A pure soul of a Celestial that cannot be destroyed, discolored, or taken. A soul that will live on for eternity and can recreate its own body when the body is destroyed completely as long as there is divine energy in its vicinity]
Mykel grabbed his blazer and walked into the living room to tell Lyneth that he was going to bring Jeanne and Agnez home. He looked excited that both Lyneth and Elena looked at him with confused looks on their faces.
As soon as Mykel arrived at the bridge to the Babel Tower, he jumped down without anyone knowing. He spread his wings and went to where the pit was to pick up Jeanne as he promised.
Lucifer didn't know what had happened since he suddenly got teleported back to Mykel's body. He read Mykel's thoughts and memories to see what Mykel saw.
Mykel landed right in between Jeanne and the Demon Princesses without them noticing. The steam and the smell of sulfur made them cough and waved their hands to get rid of them.
Jeanne could sense a tremendous amount of energy that she couldn't calculate how much it was. It was as if she was standing in front of a giant sun, and then she felt a hand on her left hand. She was gently getting pulled and then saw Mykel's bright face with a bright smile on his face.
"You did it," Mykel said as he stared her in the eye.
Jeanne felt like the barrier between her and Mykel just shattered in front of her. She could feel his stare was different than usual, he never even looked at her like that when they were making love. It felt warm and safe.
"I did it," Jeanne burst into tears as she wrapped her arms around Mykel.
"Ahem!" Aurea cleared her throat loudly as she crossed her arms and pursed her lips to the side. "Yeah sure she did it, but without me, it won't be possible," Aurea said and stared at both of them with her eyes squinted.
Jeanne smirked as she stared at Aurea. "You can join in if you want. This is payback for that time," Jeanne said as she remembered when Aurea sat on Mykel's lap and said the same thing to her.
"Hah! Shame on you, I'm into this kind of thing," Aurea responded as she walked toward them and hugged both of them.
"Don't tell me you have forgotten about the reward?" Lilith asked as she looked at Mykel with the other sisters standing next to and behind her. "You're the one who promised us of a reward, so it's better for you to keep your word," Lilith continued.
"You have to wait in line, first come, first served," Aurea chuckled mischievously as she stared at them.
Lilith and the others didn't want to join those three, but then suddenly Beldathiel walked past them. She hugged Mykel from behind and showed a bit of a smug face to her sisters.
Deviatris, Glasya, Vixelleth, and Zherlthsh joined in to take their numbers. In the end, all of them joined in as they all started to fight over who was the eighth place.
Zasalamel watched them without showing any expression, but then he felt a sharp gaze from behind. It was Luciel who just came to check, but the first thing she saw and heard was her sisters fighting over Mykel.
"Your highness," Zasalamel went down to his knee and lowered his head.
"You have done an amazing job, I'll reward you plentifully. Of course, I'll send the demons to gather souls for you to play with in here," Luciel said as she judgingly stared at them from the distance.
"I'm relieved that I met your expectations, your highness," Zasalamel answered.
"Go meet with the Demon Kings, they have prepared a feast for you," Luciel said.
Zasalamel nodded his head and then flew away.
The hot wind struck their faces and noticed Zasalamel left and Luciel was there watching in the distance. All the Demon Princesses immediately removed their hands from Mykel's body, neck, and face. They all walked to the side since they didn't want to get in the way, except for Beldathiel who kept wrapping her arms around Mykel's right arm.
"You have ascended, Jeanne. You're one of us now," Luciel said with a gentle smile.
"Yes, and it's all thanks to Mykel and everyone here, including you. I heard that you were planning everything with the Demon Kings, and it was a success because of you, so, thank you," Jeanne replied as she smiled back at Luciel.
"You're the only one who praised me for my effort," Luciel said as she stared at Mykel with a smirk. "It's not like I'm asking for it. I came here to congratulate you, and discuss about the final piece that we need to gather," Luciel continued as she looked at Jeanne's body which was overwhelming with divine energy.
"The final piece?" Aurea asked as she looked at Mykel and Luciel back and forth.
"The last sibling, we have talked about this before. The eldest sister of the nine siblings, Bhatmelec. The plan was to take her soul from the Empyreanian that lives in the Aersland World using Hanessi's power, Caelestikinesis," Mykel explained. "It should be an easy task, and there won't be a fight like this," Mykel said.
"Who's going to take her soul? You?" Luciel asked Mykel.
"I don't really mind if either of you wants to take her soul and power," Mykel answered as he looked at Jeanne and Luciel. "We can talk about this in the Empyrean World. Jeanne is exhausted and I want her to rest as we discuss about this," Mykel looked at the lava around him.
Luciel nodded in agreement and sent everyone to the Empyrean World.
