Luciel was sitting on her throne with all the Demon Kings gathered in the hall with her. She was questioning them about Mykel, and she was as surprised as the Demon Kings because she didn't know who Mykel was.
"My king, you always talked about him and we were discussing the future of a new game just recently," Belphegor said as he looked at Luciel. "Are you really have no idea who he is?" Belphegor asked with a confused look.
"I don't remember anything..." Luciel held her head with her right hand as she tried to remember.
She knew that something had felt off about everything until Belphegor explained the whole thing from the beginning. Since she knew Belphegor was Lucifer's trusted aid, she believed him and she finally completed the puzzle inside of her head.
"You said that I met him oftentimes? And I went down to earth to see him?" Luciel asked.
"Yes, my king. You and Mykel are close, closer than your relationship with the previous king, Lucifer," Belphegor answered, and all the Demon Kings agreed with his words. "Why don't you go down there, my King? You're allowed to go down there by that Goddess, and perhaps Mykel will have the answer you're looking for," Belphegor suggested.
Luciel hummed as she stood up and said, "I'll go and meet him."
All the Demon Kings bowed their heads and heard a portal being opened. The moment they lifted their heads, Luciel had already gone, and they were waiting still since Luciel didn't order them to leave.
It was so easy for Luciel to find Mykel since they shared the same blood, Celestial blood. She went straight into Mykel's office by breaking in through the window. It surprised Elena and Lyneth who were in the office with him.
Luciel looked at Lyneth and Elean, and she remembered who they were, except the man who was sitting at the desk in front of her. She looked at Mykel for quite a while, but she saw nothing but a stranger no matter how hard she tried to remember.
"If you need me, I'll be in my office," Lyneth said as she gently stroked Mykel's back. She then left with Elena to give those two a private conversation.
"I knew you would come here," Mykel fixed his seating and summoned both Bhatmelec and Lucifer.
"Who are you, and why I can remember nothing about you?" Luciel asked as she slammed her hands on the desk and gave a stern look at him.
Lucifer and Bhatmelec looked at Luciel with astonished expressions because they never thought it worked like a charm. It was terrifying that a few words were enough to change someone else's memories.
Mykel opened Luciel's [Story] and removed the words that he put in about not remembering his existence. The moment Mykel was done modifying Luciel's [Story] she was standing there with a blank expression. Not long after that, she collapsed and fell down to her knees because all the memories she had with Mykel came back in a split second.
"Do you remember everything now?" Mykel asked as he looked at the wings on Luciel's back.
Luciel slowly stood up and looked at Mykel dumbfoundedly as she remembered the last conversation she had with Mykel.
"What happened to me? Why suddenly have I lost all my memories with you?" Luciel asked. "It's not just me, but all the heads of the Major Arcana lost all their memories of you. What were you thinking, Mykel? What are you planning to do?" Luciel asked again and looked at him with curiosity.
"It's because I don't need them anymore," Mykel answered simply as he stared into Luciel's eyes. "I already have the power to do things on my own from here on out. With that being said, they're no longer a part of the plan. They can stay clueless until everything is over," Mykel continued as he stood up. "Let's become the evil Gods that turn the Constellations, even the universe upside down," Mykel smiled as he walked toward Luciel.
Luciel looked at Mykel, Lucifer, and Bhatmelec with a confused look. "Is this really what you want? Is this how are you going to do it?" Luciel asked.
Mykel nodded his head as he leaned against the table. "The time is now, Luciel. Are you ready?" Mykel asked.
Luciel gulped and looked at Mykel's eyes back and forth as she thought if she was ready for it. It was too sudden that she was still clueless about what she had to do to help Mykel.
"I told you. You don't have to do anything, I can handle things on my own. So, I'm going to ask you one last time. Are you ready?" Mykel asked with his eyebrow raised.
Luciel hummed and nodded her head with understanding.
"Good, wait here," Mykel said and then left the room, leaving Lucifer and Bhatmelec behind.
Mykel went to Lyneth's office where Elena, Lyneth, and her secretary were taking care of the documents. Elena approached Mykel and the moment she touched Mykel's hand, she felt that Mykel's heart was pounding faster than usual.
"Father?" Elena asked with a worried expression.
Mykel only smiled and stroked her hair as he walked toward Lyneth and her secretary.
"Is there any document that I need to sign?" Lyneth asked her secretary.
The secretary looked at Mykel and noticed that he wanted her to leave. She then shook her head and left the office hurriedly with the documents in her hands. Lyneth looked at Mykel, and she noticed that Elena was restless as she kept holding Mykel's hand.
"I need you to do me a favor here," Mykel said as he looked at Lyneth with a serious expression.
Lyneth nodded her head without asking a single question, and then Mykel warped the two of them with him into Edith's apartment. He asked Lyneth to bring Edith's daughter with her, and he asked Elena to accompany them. They were confused by Mykel's odd requests, but then he warped to the Empyrean World, to one of the floating islands.
"Where are we?" Merlin asked Elena.
"We are on vacation! Let's go! I'll show you the good place around here!" Elena answered.
Lyneth looked at Mykel and wondered why he suddenly brought them to the Empyrean World. When she asked about it, he didn't answer her and only told her to stay there for a few days or even weeks.
Mykel used his power to create a place for them to live in, and he ended up making a giant palace from the resources around him. It was big enough for them to not get bored living there, and he brought a lot of things and put them inside.
"This should be good enough," Mykel said as he stared at the palace in front of him.
"You're making this as if you want us to stay here forever, Mykel," Lyneth pointed out and looked at him with a worried expression. "Is it really something that you don't want me to know?" Lyneth asked.
"Yes. I'm sorry, and there will be a lot of people that come here later on," Mykel answered as he tucked Lyneth's hair. "If Elena asked you where I went, just tell her that I'm going away for quite a while. Make sure you calm her down if she insisted on meeting me," Mykel said.
Lyneth didn't like what she heard, and it made her anxious. "Are you going to be alright? You're not going to leave us here, right?" Lyneth asked as she held her tears.
"I'll be back, I promise," Mykel smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "I'm leaving now," Mykel continued and warped away back to Earth.
Mykel went back to his office, and Luciel was on her own since Lucifer and Bhatmelec got teleported back into his body. She looked at Mykel and before she could say anything, they both warped into his apartment. He then summoned all the Demon Princesses into his apartment, and they all were confused as to why he summoned them so suddenly.
"Can you bring Anathiel here, Belda?" Mykel asked.
Beldathiel nodded and brought Anathiel to his apartment.
"What's going on, Mykel? We were in the middle of a meeting with the president," Vixelleth asked.
Mykel didn't say anything and warped away to bring Jeanne and the others to his apartment. It only took him a second to bring everyone into the apartment, and they were looking at each other cluelessly. Edith felt deja vu, and suddenly she felt a sting in her chest when she remembered this was the second vision that she had seen.
"Mister Mykel?" Edith asked with a heavy breath.
"Don't worry, I already brought your daughters to the Empyrean World with Lyneth and Elena," Mykel answered.
"Mykel? What's going on?" Jeanne asked with a confused look.
"I'm sorry, for this," Mykel snapped his fingers and activated [Chronokinesis].
