Chapter 99 - Arc 13- Public Enemy No.1 - Part 2

Tuesday, 22st of June - Earth:

Right before noon, near the beach, Nazar and his friends sat around a table.

"So, what do you want to know?"

Hearing Nazar's question, all of them took deep breaths.

"Can you fly?"

"Are you an alien?"

"How does teleportation work?"

"Who is your greatest enemy?"

Nazar looked at Laura who was sitting beside him with a complex expression.

His expression changed for a split second once he saw her black bikini.

“Don’t look at me,” she shrugged. “I did my best to explain it.”

"I will answer it one by one," he said slowly.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at Rebecca.

"Yes, I can fly."

Then to Ashley.

"No, I am not an alien… It's complicated."

Before Ashley can say something, he held out his hand.

"I will come back to that in a moment."

Then he looked at Chris.

"That's a little hard to explain. But you phase out of this dimension, leave time-space continuum and then phase back into your preferred location."

"I told you so," Harry said to Chris with a proud look. "I was correct…. Well, closer than you."

Chris rolled his eyes.

Ignoring them, Nazar looked at Chris.

"As for my greatest enemy… Well, it has to be my creator, the Nameless One."

Everyone fixated their curious eyes on him.

Creator? What does he mean? Is he a clone? Robot? - they thought.

"It's… complicated."

Nazar looked down as he sighed.

“I was born to human parents. But I am not exactly a human. I am a hybrid of human and a higher dimensional being.”

They stared at him with a confused look on their face.

“How high are we talking about?”

Nazar’s finger twitched and an image appeared before them. It showed the structure of this existence.

The image was only visible to Nazar and his friends.

“This existence is made from eight-dimensional planes of existence. My information is contradictory but this person who created me...”

An image of the Nameless One was added near the other image which showed the different dimensional planes of existence.

“He...”

They looked at the image of the Nameless One and then Nazar.

“Looks like me, I know.”

Nazar added another image. It was of the Supreme One.

“The other one who is made from energy is the guy who created this multiverse. And the one who looks like me is my creator - the Nameless One. He is also known as the Great Destroyer. They exist on the same playing field.”

Nazar noticed their confused gazes but he continued.

“I was originally from the eight-dimensional plane of existence. I do not know how it happened - as I said earlier that the information I have is contradictory. Some say that the eight-dimensional plane of existence always existed but others say that it came into creation when I was born.”

Nazar added two more images. One of them was of Michael and the other of Lucifer.

“Apparently, when I was born, the eight-dimensional plane came into creation. But then the reality changed. And for some reason, it was made as if it was always there. Furthermore, it was said that it exists in a place higher than these two higher dimensional beings and Lucifer.”

Their eyes widened once they heard about Lucifer.

Chris and Harry exchanged excited yet confused glances.

“However, it also exists in the very multiverse which the Supreme One created and is part of Lucifer. It's rather complicated and I don't understand it fully either.”

Nazar scratched the back of his head in annoyance.

“And it's very contradictory so...”

“So, uh… Lucifer...”

“I will get back to him soon.”

“Sweet,” Chris said excitedly.

“Where was I… Ah, right.”

Nazar paused for a moment before continuing.

“Anyway, the Nameless One...”

The small picture of the Nameless One enlarged.

“Created me. But I think it was not working the way he wanted. I am not too sure on the details but apparently, he found suitable humans and placed me there. More like my mind and power… Actually, I don’t know the specifics and I don’t want to know either.”

They sat there speechless as they tried to digest what was told to them.

“So, that clears up your question, Ashely. I could be half-alien depending on your definition of “alien”.”

“That’s...”

Ashely chuckled nervously.

“I don’t know what to say.”

“But since you said your creator was evil… Is your story the same as literally every other story with an evil creator?” Rebecca said in a comical tone. “He created you to be evil but you did not become evil? And now you two are on the opposing sides?”

Nazar nodded with a stiff smile.

“Spot on.”

“That’s so… average. Like the average of the averages.”

Seeing the disappointed look on her face, “I know,” said Nazar as he sighed.

“Anyway, forget that… You mentioned Lucifer, right?”

Hearing Chris’ question, Nazar cleared his throat.

“Yes, Lucifer is real. And he is not the way you think he is.”

“Let me guess, he is actually a good guy.”

Nazar’s shoulders drooped.

“...Yeah. I guess we all saw that coming,” Harry added.

“Yep! And it’s… I don’t know, it's really disappointing...” Chris said. "Evil would have been cooler."

“I was expecting something new for once,” Harry nodded, agreeing with Chris.

Seeing the disappointed looks on their faces, Nazar sighed heavily.

For some reason, he expected them to be a little more excited. So, seeing them with looks of disappointment, he felt pain.

“Anything else you guys want to know?”

They shook their head.

“If it's going to be as disappointing and predictable as this… Nah.”

It stabbed into the very being of Nazar.

Feeling an unknown pain in his heart, Nazar clenched his fist.

“What if I told you that I am a king of an alien empire?”

Seeing the smug look on his face, their eyes widened.

“Wait, really?” They said in unison.

He had his elbow on the table, with his chin in his hand.

“Yep,” he replied with a proud smile on his face. “Heh. Did not expect that, did you?”

They exchanged glances.

“Impressive.”

“Now bow before me, mortals.”

“Ugh,” Laura cringed. “Dude, come on now...”

With the corner of his eye, he glanced at Laura.

“I am immortal. So...”

Laura sighed.

“Wait, you are immortal?”

Nazar looked back at his friends.

Seeing the curious look in their eyes, his smile vanished.

“Yes, unfortunately.”

Seeing the conflicted look on his face, they thought that immortality must be really boring.

Rebecca remembered a question he wanted to ask, so she decided to change the topic.

“In my memories, there is a white-haired woman who was seen with you. Is that… It’s my mom, isn’t it?”

Everyone looked at her with wide eyes.

“Babe what?” Harry said as he chuckled stiffly.

Nazar straightened his back.

“Yes. Alice is someone whom I have known for a long time.”

Laura nearly blurted out laughing but she kept it in.

(Oh, this is going to lead to a funny misunderstanding.) She thought to herself.

“Did you...”

She sucked in a breath.

“Did you two know each other?”

“Yes.”

“Were you close?”

“Yes,” Nazar replied immediately, not knowing what she really meant. "Very close."

Rebecca’s eyes widened.

Standing up, she slammed her palms on the table.

“You slept with my mom?!?!?!”

“What the...”

Nazar made a disgusted expression.

“No!”

“You slept with her mom?!?!” Harry added while trying to look serious. But in reality, he was trying to keep his laughter in. “I can’t believe you slept with my future mother-in-law!! How could you do this to us?”

“...Huh?”

Laura struggled to keep her laughter in.

Only Nazar and Rebecca were not aware of what they were saying.

“Yeah, Nazar… What a bastard move,” Chris added.

Nazar stood up frantically.

“No, no. Where the hell did that come from Rebecca?”

“I mean… Then what is it?”

Laura burst into laughter.

“It was different. She was like a mother to me.”

“......What?”

Rebecca and Nazar looked around them and found themselves confused as to why the others were laughing.

“Why are you…?”

Realising why, Rebecca sat back down in her chair embarrassingly.

“Ugh!!!!” Rebecca groaned as she covered her face with her hands.

Nazar, on the other hand, was still confused.

“Why would any of you think… Wait, what are you guys laughing?”

“Sit… haha,” Laura patted his back as she tried to speak. “...down.”

Even now, Nazar was not sure why they were laughing.

So, he clicked his tongue.

“Anyway, long story short… She was like a mother to me. I had known her since I was like 2 years old. She practically raised me - albeit she had re-- nevermind that."

"...Sorry," Rebecca said slowly.

"Also, can you guys stop laughing?"

He looked at them in annoyance.

"Sure… Pfft. Haha. It's just..."

Laura wiped the tears off her eyes.

"It's not THAT funny. Hell, it's not funny at all. She made me think of the most disgusting thing ever!"

"I am sooorrrrryyyyyy," Rebecca said with her face still covered.

"But come on… I mean--"

"Shut up, Harry---"

Nazar smiled thinly.

"What did you say earlier? Something about your future mother-in-law?"

"That was a joke."

"Damn it."

Nazar sighed heavily. He tried to get back at Harry but it didn't work.

Then he looked at Rebecca.

"Though, I have my reasons to not like your mother… Does this make you my step sister?"

Rebecca looked at him in confusion.

"I don't know… but I guess."

"Do you have any other siblings?"

She shook her head.

"Oh… Foster father?"

"It was just me and mom."

Nazar looked down.

He gave her a blank new slate to use in this life but she didn't.

He glanced at Laura with the corner of his eye.

(Maybe like Laura, she also remembered the old life in some way?) He thought to himself. (Who else remembers? I did not know some could bypass such things.)

"Do you know where my mother is now?"

Nazar looked at her in surprise.

"She hasn't been picking up my calls for a while. So, I was wondering if you knew something."

"She went to hell."

Hearing the casual reply from Nazar, her heart skipped a beat.

Noticing the horrified look in her eyes, he clicked his tongue.

"So she didn't tell you... Of course, my mistake. I should have expected that."

"...Huh?"

"I suppose there is no other way around it…" Nazar said slowly.

With a serious look on his face, he looked Rebecca in the eyes.

"She is a demon."

Their eyes widened in surprise.

"Half demon, anyway."

"Wait…"

(Ah, too much info. She is gonna lose it.)

"It's a long story."

Rebecca noticed her body weakening.

Her entire life flashed before her in her mind.

"Sorry, I guess it would have been---"

Nazar's eyes widened in horror.

"That's…"

He stood up frantically and looked at the sky.

"I feel… What is this?"

His eyes lit up with energy.

"It's a wave of psychic energy on this scale… The entire multiverse is being affected--!!!"

Reality bent in front of him.

Everything started to twirl around.

"Hm?"

The twirling reality caused the universe to shake.

The oceans overflowed with water and cause tsunamis of unknown magnitude.

Lavas started to overtake the oceans.

Earthquakes shook the world.

The skies started to come down.

Water flew up.

Solid became gas. The liquid became solid.

The water dried up yet it overflowed the oceans.

Nothing made sense.

Nazar looked back at Laura and his friends. They were safe thanks to the Ultimate Nullification Barrier.

He let out a sigh of relief.

But he looked at the messed up reality. Nothing made sense.

X was 2. Z was Y. Numbers and alphabets were messed up.

The twirling reality turned into a white storm of blades that could wash away worlds.

"!!"

The storm of blades was coming towards where Laura and his friends were.

His body moved without thinking.

From the back, he wrapped his arms around Laura and crouched down. He covered her with his body.

Laura could feel his hands shaking.

"I thought…"

"I know."

Laura could hear the grinding of his teeth.

"I just…"

He placed another barrier around them.

Making sure they were safe, he let exhaled slowly.

"What's happening?"

"I… I don't know. But I can fix it."

"It's okay. I will be okay. So…"

Hearing her calm voice, his body stopped shaking.

"Okay."

He stood up.

(Ah.)

Nazar realised something.

(They are trying to keep me away. But for what purpose?)

He took a deep breath.

"Vilramore! What is going on? What are you doing?"

His friends wondered why he was talking to the sky.

"What are doing to this reality?"

//Master… I do not know wh--//

Nazar frowned.

"You are the embodiment of time, space and reality of this universe. What do you mean you don't know?"

//There is a layer above the universe is too strong for me. You will need to calm down this other reality or break it.//

(I see. So, that's why no one else is around. And the others ended up here because they were close to me… I see.)

He looked at the storm of the blades that turned into fire.

(I could use my Absolute Wish or Godly powers… but because of the mental barriers I have placed on myself, it will leave me and the world vulnerable. Damn it!)

“I will fight reality itself if I have to.”

Glancing back at his friend, his shoulders relaxed a little. They were safe. The barrier was keeping them safe.

“God Slayer. True Form.”

His form changed.

The 1.80 meters tall man turned into a 2.30 meters tall man. His red eyes constantly changed colour. So did his white hair.

Nazar clenched his fist.

(The layer… It’s nowhere near as sophisticated as the one I made recently. This one… It seems it was made to keep us here for only a moment. But--!!)

Nazar placed everything he had into his hand.

“Ah. The psychic wave. They did not want me to stop it.”

He swung his fist.

“Only for a moment, huh? I wonder what you have in store for me now...”

Punching the air, it broke.

“Queen.”

The alternative layer above broke as if it was a piece of glass.

They returned to the normal space.

(I need to turn on my resistance to forceful removal and teleportation again. Why did I remove that in the first place?)

Nazar’s form changed back to normal.

He looked around himself and all eyes were fixed on him.

Peeking into the surface of their minds, Nazar noticed what had been done wrong.

“That...”

He understood what they were trying to achieve.

“Ha...ha...”

His heart started to beat faster and faster.

“Haha...”

As his muscles tensed up in his body, spreading his arms slightly, he looked up to the sky.

“Hahahahahaha.”

For unknown reasons, he laughed while looking at the empty sky.

“What a fucking joke...”

Laura and his friends stared at him closely.

They had no idea what was going on.

Nazar clenched his fist once more.

Taking a deep breath, he shouted, “AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Swinging his hand, he punched the air in front of him.

A large crack opened in reality throughout the multiverse.

Everywhere at once, a large crack appeared. Through the crack, endless darkness can be seen.

“What. A. Fucking. Joke.” He said angrily.

“Nazar!”

Next to him, Solace materialised.

“What do you think you are doing?”

Realising what happened, he sucked in a breath.

With a minor gesture of his hand, he got rid of the crack and restored what he had damaged.

Looking down at his shaking hand, Nazar clicked his tongue.

With the corner of his eyes, he looked to the right.

Seeing the horrified expression on their face, Nazar bit his lip.

“I missed it. I could have stopped it but there was a big problem I had to deal with. Lives were on the line,” Solace explained.

“I know...”

He crouched his legs slightly.

“Damn it.”

As the gravity weakened beneath him, Nazar shot himself towards the dark space.

Everyone on the island lost their footing and fell to the ground from the shockwave left behind by Nazar's sudden flight.

Solace did not care enough to keep them standing.

“Ahhh. What a waste,” Solace said as she scratched her forehead angrily.

Far from everything, the Queen giggled to herself.
