Destroying My Own World

Chapter 351 Familiar feeling.

Evan did his public apology and he gave a long speech for everything that he did wrong. The response from the public was heartbreaking because they were cheering and cursing him for his failure. They compared him to Melissa's late father and made him look like a useless and incompetent person for making the nation collapse and making the people suffer.

Melissa who watched the response of the people couldn't help but feel guilty because she couldn't do anything to fix Evan's image. She was pained and she couldn't stop blaming herself even though Evan's family was there with her, comforting her.

After all the government officials officially stepped down from their positions, Melissa went to her inauguration ceremony to swear to become the president of the Verdentia Republic. The people were cheering for her, and even though the ceremony wasn't that grandiose or big, it was the most crowded ceremony in the history of the Verdentia Republic. Millions of people were gathered to watch it with their own eyes when Melissa swore her life to the nation and its people.

Melissa gave a short speech to the people about what she truly felt about the situation. She cried in front of millions of people, and she poured all her emotions into her speech, making people understand her pain. They all stopped showing their hatred for those former officials and focused on rebuilding the nation with Melissa.

As soon as Melissa gave her speech, the sky suddenly turned dark and everyone was looking up in the sky because there was something odd about it. They watched as the wind was forming in the sky and bolts of lightning struck the same spot where the wind was gathering. It was terrifying to look at and deafening to hear, but then a rift was opened, ripping the space open all the way down to the ground.

Zachary was guarding the stage when his phone rang, it was Javelin who called him. He then picked up the phone and heard that something similar had happened in Dystrovia Nation. He then received a message from Mykel if a rift appeared in Verdentia or not because he saw a rift appear in the Faelethria Kingdom. He concluded that the three nations experienced the same event and that it wasn't just a coincidence.

"Go," Melissa looked at Zachary. "Bring everyone because I have a bad feeling about this," she added.

Zachary nodded and left to the location where the rift was with Aston and all the Gifted that were present in the ceremony. It took him an hour to arrive at the rift, and he couldn't stop trembling and chilling on his back when he was exposed by the aura that the rift produced.

"This is completely different from any rifts we have encountered so far. What do you is inside this massive rift?" Aston asked as he hugged himself because he couldn't stop trembling and having a chill on his back.

"I don't want to assume anything, but don't you think this feeling feels familiar?" Zachary asked as he kept staring at the rift.

Aston took a moment to realize when he remembered the mysterious woman with massive black feather wings that appeared from a rift. The same feeling that he felt back then, and it made him look a bit pale because he knew he wasn't strong enough to fight that woman and neither was anyone around him.

"Do you think this rift will lead us to her?" Aston asked as he gulped nervously.

"As I said earlier. I don't want to assume anything and I really hope that it's not the case," Zachary answered. "Not with these people at least. If Javelin is here, or Mykel's team is here, we might have a chance," he continued.

"It's us! We came from the other side and we came here when we heard about the explosion. We thought a demon had awakened or something," Aston explained, but his explanation wasn't enough to convince Javelin.

"Javelin, do you still remember when you threw up like a fountain and when you—" Zachary asked.

"Stop! I believe you!" Javelin shouted and she looked embarrassed as she put down her staff.

Zachary explained to her what happened to their team and why they were the only ones who came to see her.

"I see, so that means the rifts are connected from one with the other. If that's the case, then does that mean Mykel's team is also here with us somewhere?" Javelin asked after she digested the information given by Zachary and Aston. "Ah, speaking of the devil," she looked at the top of the hill and saw ten people standing.

The Five Sinners and the Big Bosses were watching them from above. They came because they heard the explosion as well, and wondered if a strong demon had appeared, but they all looked disappointed when they saw Javelin and the others.

"Long time no see," Mykel appeared right behind Javelin, Zachary, and Aston. "So we are back together again it seems," he added and looked at them startled because of his sudden appearance, but not Zachary who had gotten used to it.

"It appears so, and I'm glad that we can raid together again," Zachary responded as he looked at Mykel.

"I don't think everyone here is glad that I'm here," Mykel glanced at Aston who was pissed. He knew exactly why Aston was pissed since he wasn't a part of Mykel's scheme. "Do you have something to say?" he asked Aston.

"Elestria's dog..." Aston gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"If I'm a dog..." Mykel grabbed Aston's face before Aston could react. "Then what are you?" he lifted Aston and slammed him to the ground so hard that he passed out and broke his spine.

Javelin and Zachary were surprised that Mykel reacted to the insult differently and they didn't expect him to show any mercy to Aston.

"Don't get me wrong. I don't want to waste my time here dealing with this kind of stuff. I need to clear the rift as fast as possible," Mykel explained. "It's up to you if you want to follow me or not. I'm in a hurry," he added.

Mykel left with his team following from the hill because they didn't want to go down there. Zachary and Javelin were taken aback for a moment and decided to follow him while Aston was being carried by Zachary.
