Chapter 321: Afraid.
Elena was lying down and only listened to Mykel's voice while Amaryllis and Sasha kept watching the screen. She wasn't interested in watching that because she felt jealous and angry that she couldn't do anything at all inside the prison-like place.
She couldn't use her power and Aevia kept an eye on them even though she wasn't with them. She just knew that Aevia was observing them because she could feel it when Aevia was observing them or not.
"Come out," Elena said as she sat up and looked around. "I have something to say, so come out," she added.
Sasha and Amaryllis looked at Elena and wondered what she had to say to Aevia.
Aevia appeared out of nowhere and stood right behind Elena, staring down at her with her arms crossed. Although they couldn't see her face, they could see her expression based on the curve and the shape of the cloth on her face.
"I'm done, just send me back," Elena said without looking back and she was serious about it.
Sasha and Amaryllis were surprised, but when they wanted to say something, their mouths were shut. They couldn't move their lips or make any noise because Aevia prevented them from interfering.
"Have you realized now that you're just wasting your time here?" Aevia asked.
"Shut your mouth. I don't want to hear anything from you, so just send me back," Elena responded as she stood up. "Just tell him. Tell him that I wish that he enjoys his new life," she added.
Aevia smiled and then snapped her fingers, sending Elena away from her world. She looked at those two, and they wanted to leave and be with Elena. She then snapped her fingers and sent them both to Elena's side with pleasure.
Elena was floating in space, blankly staring at nothing but darkness in front of her. The world where nothing existed, not even a single light that could be seen, the world that had lost its purpose. She then saw Amaryllis and Sasha come out of thin air and went to check on her.
When those two wanted to ask Elena, she suddenly pulled her hair up and cut it with her left hand. She spread her hair and scattered around the space, floating aimlessly. Each strand of her hair turned into a star and the world started to emit bright lights. She then controlled thousands of those stars and clashed them all together to create the supernova.
It was that easy for Elena to create a world and fill it with anything she wanted. But her inside was as empty as before, there was no warmth that could comfort her more than the warmth of Mykel. She then went into one of the planets and laid down to look at the sky and the space beyond it.
"Have you not realized what that wicked woman is trying to do?" Elena asked as she saw Amaryllis and Sasha land beside her. "She's trying to make Mykel live in that world with comfort, making him forget about his past and live the moment," she added.
"Is that really how you see it?" Amaryllis asked back as she frowned.
Elena glanced at Amaryllis and then sighed as she rolled to the side and didn't want to look at Amaryllis. She knew what Amaryllis was talking about, but she didn't want to believe it.
"What are you talking about, Amy?" Sasha asked.
"Aevia might be the Omnipotent being, but she has never, not even once manipulated the world she created. Let's just say that everything that's happening right now around Mykel was similar to his past and it wasn't Aevia's doing, then who do you think did it?" Amaryllis responded.
"Mykel did?" Sasha asked again.
"Mykel is threading his own path, and Aevia doesn't interfere with his path, only observing it from the side. Rather than Aevia who manipulates Mykel's life and surroundings, it will be correct to say that it's his own doing," Amaryllis answered.
Sasha understood why Elena looked so pissed and depressed, but she didn't understand why suddenly Elena recreated the world. Was it to release her emotions? Or was it that she wanted to forget and move on? But that would be impossible knowing how Elena loved Mykel.
"Just leave me alone, and don't bother me," Elena said and didn't bother to look at them and kept showing her back.
Amaryllis left with Sasha and left Elena alone on the planet she was on. Elena was staring at the mountain and the heavy gas around her, and then she glanced over her shoulder.
"I'm done, and yet you're still following me and observing me? Are you that scared of me?" Elena asked with a cold gaze pointing at the thick gas behind her.
"Scared? No. I'm here to say goodbye because I'm not going to let you enter my world again," Aevia appeared from the thick gas. "You won't be able to see him ever again because a second that passes on his world, it will take you an eternity in her," she pointed out.
"Do whatever you want. Just stop bothering me," Elena answered without hesitation.
Aevia left and since Elena had been used by Aevia's presence even though she was hiding it, it was enough to say that Aevia did leave her alone. Elena then stayed there and didn't do anything or think of anything because she had nothing she could do.
Life started to appear on the planet she was staying on, a life that started from the sea and went to land. She didn't care about it and she didn't even know she had been doing nothing for millions of years. Her head was blank that it felt like she was there for only a few hours.
"How long are you going to be like this, Elena?" Amaryllis asked as she looked at Elena who had been lying in the depths of the sea. "The world that you created has started to form many new lives. What are you planning to do with them?" she added.
"What are you talking about? They're my life essence. There's no need for you to be concerned about that because I can erase everything in the blink of an eye," Elena answered and she looked depressed and in pain. "I don't know why you're here because I told you to not bother me. So whatever you have in mind, I'm not interested and just leave me be. I'll see you when I want to see you," she added and then wrapped herself in a cocoon made of her life energy.
"Elena. You're not supposed to be like this. I know you, but I have never seen you giving up especially when it comes to Mykel. Why are you like this?" Amaryllis asked.
Elena didn't answer the question and kept quiet, and since she didn't want to answer, Amaryllis left.
"Mykel, we're here," Zachary looked at Mykel who looked asleep. "Javelin has prepared a place for us to stay, and she has prepared transportation for us," he added when Mykel opened his eyes.
It was impossible for them to not become the center of attention because of Victoria and then others' presence. They were like prehistoric beasts that were enough to suffocate everyone around them and make them tremble in fear. Some of them noticed who they were and couldn't help but panic and report it before something bad could happen.
"You brought a bunch of criminals here?! What were you thinking?! Why didn't you say anything about it beforehand?!" Javelin glared at Zachary in disbelief.

Victoria and the others didn't bother to listen to the quarrel and enjoyed the food that was prepared for them. They were like a starving beasts who had been eating tasteless food their entire lives. Mykel was enjoying his drink with them and to let Zachary deal with Javelin.
After Zachary explained everything to Javelin, she realized what had happened and who Mykel was. She also realized the eyes that put her in fear back then were Mykel's. She never thought someone as powerful as him could be hidden from the world. She then thought that it wasn't that the world didn't know, but that the world was kept shut by Elestria.
"Do you understand now?" Zachary asked with a calm expression. "The one that you should fear isn't those criminals, but the man that brought those criminals," he added.
"Yes, but what the fuck are you thinking about taking his side? If there's a demon in front of me right now and offer me something, I would take it rather than be with that guy," Javelin asked and glanced at Mykel. "Wait. I see what it is now. You did it because of her, didn't you?" She squinted her eyes and stared at Zachary.
Zachary didn't answer that question and avoided his gaze because Javelin could see through him.
"Ugh, I never thought such cliche could happen in real life, but whatever, it's none of my business and I'm not going to fall for it like you did," Javelin said and walked away, but Zachary grabbed her wrist and stopped her from leaving.
"If that's what you want, stay away from him. Don't make a scene, don't even look at him," Zachary warned with a serious expression.
Javelin was surprised when Zachary looked concerned to hide his fear of Mykel. She could clearly see it because of the way he grabbed her wrist and how tight it was, warning him like it was a threat
"I have never seen you scared, Zach. Are you that afraid of him more than you are afraid of the demons?" Javelin asked with curiosity.
"When it comes to demons, I could run if I couldn't kill them, but not when it comes to facing him. He would find your weakness the moment his eyes met with yours. He would use it until he put you in the corner until you helplessly beg to be killed, but he wouldn't do that. He would force you to work for him and make sure the fear would keep you awake," Zachary explained.
Javelin was shocked that Zachary would spit some nonsense, but when she glanced at Mykel and saw him staring right into her soul, that was when her heart stopped beating. She felt weak and thankfully Mykel averted his gaze, giving her strength back, and understood what Zachary meant by saying how dangerous Mykel was.
"I'll keep that in mind..." Javelin's hand trembled as she tried to catch her breath.
