Chapter 237 Predominance.
Chapter 237 Predominance.
Amaryllis came back after she couldn't sense Sasha's life anymore. She looked at Mykel standing still, staring at Sasha's dead body after he had healed all the wounds. She knew that Mykel could bring her back to life again, but looking at him, it seemed that he didn't plan on doing so.
"Is that what she wanted?" Amaryllis asked but didn't dare to get closer.
"This is what we both wanted," Mykel answered as he kept staring at Sasha's face. "She suffered enough. She suffered from being tortured, used, living, and she also suffered from loving me," Mykel continued. "As long as she's alive, she won't find peace," Mykel added.
Amaryllis slowly approached Mykel, and then she was surprised when Mykel was holding a scroll. It was the Caveat Scroll, and then she finally realized why Mykel wanted Sasha dead.
The scroll wouldn't be able to be extracted until the task that was given was completed or the host died. Even if the host died, the scroll would go back to The Lord's side since it was his will. Now that Sasha died inside the novel world, the scroll couldn't go back and stayed there.
"I believe that's for the best, for both of you," Amaryllis said as she looked at Mykel. "Are you going to bury her here?" Amaryllis asked.
"Yes. I don't want anyone to try to dig her grave even though her soul is inside me now and nobody can take her. I want to give her a proper burial," Mykel answered and then warped away.
Amaryllis knew where Mykel went and followed him to the Empyrean World. She looked at Mykel grabbed a shovel and started digging the grave with his own hands even though he could easily create one in an instant.
It saddened her to see Mykel dig a hole and dirtied himself with a sorrowful expression. She wanted to help, but Mykel wanted to do it on his own, so she watched on the side, protecting Sasha's body.
"Can I ask why you look sad right now even though you said that this is the best for both of you?" Amaryllis asked with her hands clenched on her thighs.
"Because I let her die, twice. I saw her dead body twice, both in gruesome ways. Lastly, because I have to attend her burial twice," Mykel answered. "She was and still is the love of my life," Mykel continued as he stabbed the shovel after he made a big enough hole.
When Mykel grabbed Sasha's body, Hera came with Little Sasha and saw Sasha's dead body. Mykel didn't mind their presence as he put Sasha's body in the hole, and then he started burying her.
"The only grave in the Empyrean World," Hera said as she looked at Mykel's messy hair.

"Lucifer and the demons retreated. The Gods and the others, on the other hand, all died, consumed, devoured, eaten, you name it. They can't be resurrected anymore, and I don't think The Lord cares about the situation down here anymore knowing a threat is coming toward him," Nal answered as she held Sasha's tiny hands.
"Hera, you finally showed yourself," Nyx said as she was on her knees. She was being pushed down to her knees by Aurea. "Did you enjoy your life in there?" Nyx scoffed as she glared at Hera.
"Just ignore her. She's just envious after she lost everything," Nal said. "Let's just focus on the last enemy that's still resisting," Nal pointed out as she looked at the Void Clouds that covered the space.
The Void Clouds were expanding and shrinking like lungs, and everyone could see the lights that tried to come out of them. They had no idea what was happening there, but then suddenly the clouds were cut open and that was when Jeanne got thrown out and landed on a debris.
Mara slowly showed herself out of the clouds, and then the clouds behind her turned into massive wings made of Void Clouds. She covered the whole universe with her clouds and she seemed to have gained a lot of power during the battle.
"You lost to her?" Aurea asked as she watched Jeanne's broken armor that was slowly regenerating.
"I hate to admit it, but something is off about her. I don't know what it is, but she's no longer the same one as before," Jeanne answered as she stood up. "My attacks don't work on her anymore," Jeanne pointed out.
"It's because, at the last moment of the story that Sasha made, Mara revealed her power," Mykel said as he looked at Mara. "That power made Asmond feel powerless in her presence, it's called Predominance," Mykel added.
"And what's that supposed to mean? We have no idea about that," Aurea asked.
"The one who controls over all power. Something that could be said above omnipotence. She's the one who reigns even an omnipotent being if that being is in the same domain as hers. To put it simply, she can overpower your power with just her existence alone," Mykel explained.
"That's bullshit," Rozan said as he looked at Mara. "So basically no matter how strong we are, she's unbeatable?" Rozan asked.
"That's why in the story that Sasha made, Mara was something that cannot be defeated," Mykel nodded his head in agreement. "If we turn back in time and she's the Mara inside the novel, I'm still able to defeat her with the help of the system. But, now that she's a real entity, I don't think anyone could stop her," Mykel continued.
"Are you implying that for all of us including you, or are you implying that just for us and not you?" Luciel asked as she looked at Mykel.
"Who knows, but I know for sure Elena can deal with her. After all, she's the one who can reverse creation," Mykel answered.
