"Why are you all here?" Mykel asked as he looked at all the Demon Princesses including Luciel standing behind him in Deviatris' lab. They wanted to see his craftsmanship that was about to create a taboo.
Not only the Demon Princesses, Gaia, Hera, and the others who were curious about it also came down to watch. If Mykel did manage to create half God and half demon, it would be something that they had to witness.
"We're not going to miss this chance," Loki said as he put his hands on Mykel's back from behind and took a peek at Lillith.
"Which method are you going to do?" Lucifer asked as he stood next to Mykel and stared at Lillith in front of them.
Mykel didn't say anything as he kept staring at Lillith who was nervous about the experiment. Agnez who stood right behind Mykel also felt the same way as her.
"You won't feel a thing," Mykel said as he walked toward Lillith.
Lillith's head suddenly snapped and her vision disappeared. It was as Mykel said, she didn't feel anything as her body dropped dead on the ground.
Mykel opened Lillith's [Skill tab] and removed the [Demonic Manifestation] skill from her. He then checked Lilith [Character], and it was as he expected that she was still alive. So, he used a tiny dot of [Sacrilege Flame] and evaporated Lillith's body and the floor under her.
"Both of them are dead now," Mykel said as he looked at Lilith's [Character] status..
"What's next?" Lucifer asked.
"I'll try to bring Lilith back to life now," Mykel said as he modified Lilith's [Character] status from [Deceased] to [Alive]. Mykel then turned around to look at the soulless body of Lilith. "She should be alive now," Mykel looked at her body and waited for any movement.
Everyone looked at Lilith's body on the operating table and silently waited. They were holding their breath until Lilith's left index finger twitched. Everyone immediately surrounded her and looked at her face as they gulped.
"She's there. We can feel her power from her body," Luciel said.
Lilith groaned as she slowly opened her eyes, and then she looked at every one of them. The Demon Princesses welcomed her back by showing their brightest smiles at her.
"Mykel, that was really painful," Lilith said quietly.
Mykel scoffed and then he brought Lillith back to life. Her body slowly appeared from nothingness on the ground. He then slowly carried her in his arms as he waited for her to open her eyes.
? "Did it work?" Agnez asked as she stood next to Mykel and caressed Lillith's head.
"It should be," Mykel said as he looked at Lillith's [Skill tab] and didn't see the [Demonic Manifestation] skill there. "We need to wait until she wakes up because who knows that Lilith's soul might be sucked into her body," Mykel explained since he was defying the system will with his [Admin] skill.
"Lillith!" Agnez said as she watched Lillith's eyebrows twitch.
Lillith slowly opened her eyes and looked at Mykel's face which was too close to her face. She was startled, but she didn't have the strength to react. Mykel then put her on another operating table.
"Any changes on her side?" Mykel asked Lucifer and stared at Lilith who was already able to move her body.
"No, she's normal," Lucifer answered.
Mykel nodded with understanding, and he was afraid that Lilith might change like a hard reset on a hard drive. Fortunately, it wasn't the case, and there was nothing to be worried about.
"Finally, my mind is so quiet and peaceful," Lillith said as she stared at the ceiling. "I hate to have someone chattering inside my head. My own thoughts are already annoying, but back then, I had to deal with another one," Lillith continued as she tried to move her body.
"You helped me, Lily, thank you," Mykel said and showed his genuine smile at her.
Lillith was surprised, but she smiled and nodded her head.
After waiting for an hour and observing both of them, Mykel came to the conclusion that everything was according to his plan. Lillith was safe and back to normal while Lilith didn't lose a single memory and the power she had attained other than losing the master and servant's pact with Mykel.
"It's your turn now, Agnez," Mykel said as he walked toward the others and left Agnez on her own on the other side of the room. "Are you ready?" Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.
Agnez nodded her head and then closed her eyes.
Mykel did the same exact step as before and managed to bring Mazikeen back to her original body. Agnez also came back to life and lost her [Demonic Manifestation] skill.
"Something is weird, both of them are oddly quiet," Lucifer said as he observed both of them.
"I'm fine, it's just..." Agnez paused as she put her right hand on her forehead. "It's lonely up here, and I'm not used to the silence..." Agnez continued as she looked at Mazikeen who felt the same way as her.
They both were saddened by the fact that they were no longer together. Although they could speak to each other again, it felt different because they didn't share the same thoughts and consciousness. They had been together for so long, and they both had become unity.
"Mykel, I have a request," Mazikeen said as she stood up and stared Mykel in the eye. "Let me make another pact with Agnez, the same pact as before," Mazikeen requested.
"No, that might affect the result of the final step. I don't want that to happen even if we can do this again easily," Mykel answered as he shook his head and closed his eyes. "No more pact because you both will live side by side inside the same vessel in the future," Mykel explained.
Agnez walked toward Mazikeen and touched her arm. It felt surreal when she was finally able to see Mazikeen and touched her. Their kinship was something like a twin who shared the same feeling and knew what was on their minds without having to say anything.
"If you both want to spend your time together, go ahead. We still haven't made the vessel to put both of your souls together," Mykel said as he looked at them. "The body, it's you both that are going to decide because Lucifer might be able to create a new body from both of you using your bodies," Mykel continued.
"Before I go, I want to make a pact with you instead, Mykel," Mazikeen said as she stood in front of Mykel.
"You don't have to," Mykel smiled. "You're soon to be the only being with both powers from the Gods and Demons. You'll have your own freedom and live whatever you wish to have," Mykel continued.
Mazikeen looked at Agnez and she already knew what she was thinking. She then looked at her sisters, and they were all nodding their heads and agreeing with Mykel's words.
"We both will still want to follow you, Mykel," Agnez said.
"If that's what you both want," Mykel replied and slightly smiled. "There's no more show for today, you guys can leave," Mykel said as he thought about the stone that could withstand both the power of Demi-god and Archdemon.
They all left and it was only Mykel, Lucifer, Nyx, Hera, and Deviatris in the room. Mykel then looked at Hera who seemed to have something to say. He held her hand and brought her to the Kastihel World. Lucifer ended up following him, and Nyx wanted to be there as well.
Mykel brought Hera to the chamber where the piano was. He went to the window with a great view of the Aon tree, and he stared at it for a moment as he waited for Hera to speak up her mind.
"Mykel, I want the baby to be just an ordinary baby," Hera said.
"What do you mean by ordinary?" Mykel asked as he walked to the piano and played a song.
Hera listened to The Swan song that Elena suggested to him. It was indeed a masterpiece that gave her a peaceful feeling.
"I want to raise a baby with everything I have. Live with them and care for them, as a mother should. I have never experienced something like that before, and I want the baby to be innocent and ordinary and can live their life without worries, away from harm. I want to spoil them and treasure them," Hera answered as she looked at Mykel.
"If that's what you want, then I'll do it," Mykel answered as he played the final part of the song.
Hera smiled and was glad that he didn't mind her request as she rubbed her belly.
"You said that you don't blame yourself for what happened to Elena. You said you don't care about it as well, but you missed her, aren't you?" Hera asked.
Mykel stopped playing and stared at the keys under his fingers.
"I do," Mykel answered.
