Chapter 147.8

Arc 14.5 - God of Stories - Part 8

A lot happened this morning.

X showed up and messed with Laura’s emotions and attempted to hurt Nazar with Narrative.

However, a hidden personality came out and defeated X.

Nazar was free.

The villain was defeated.

However, Nazar is not as safe as he should have been.

Thoughts had left his head; memories had left his head and so did numbers. His mind was completely blank.

He stood in one place without moving for a long time.

Suddenly, Nazar’s hulking body started to twitch in pain.

His perfectly shaped muscles started to bloat.

SPLURT!

GOWRRRRRR!

RRRRRRRRR!

YEE-OWWW!

AIEOW!

OOOO-WOOO-O O O O!

Like beasts growling and howling in pain, dozens of bodies came out of Nazar’s head as it exploded into small pieces.

Nazar’s hulking body, too, exploded into small pieces and splattered across the white wall of the room, painting it red and pink.

“Oh my, that’s dope,” a Nazar who was nothing, but pitch-black darkness spoke blankly.

“Hehe, absolutely beautiful, hehe,” a red demon with horns and grey wings licked his lips with his slithering red tongue. “”

“Should we not bring him back?” the Nazar with angelic halo and white wings spoke in a kind and divine tone.

“Meh,” a Nazar covered in blue quantum energies shrugged, “he would not want it.”

One of them, made of many colours of energy, looked around.

“What happened to that emotionless bastard?”

“Dead,” the Demon replied after letting out a heavy sigh. “I wish I was the one to kill him.”

“Disappointing, I quite liked him,” spoke a Nazar who held a scythe.

“Surprisingly,” spoke another Nazar in dark robes as he rolled his eyes. “Since I am free, I shall embark on a journey to destroy a universe or two at a minimum.”

“I will accompany you, Destruction.”

“Well then, that should be quite interesting, Death.”

Death and Destruction, two versions of Nazar who has control over primal forces of creation, vanished into thin air, leaving this space.

“Well, I am out too,” the quantum powered Nazar, too, flew away.

“Hm, I do want to have a bit of heart-to-heart with the new Demon King or Satan as he is called. I need to see if he is worthy of that title. Because that should belong to me,” the Demon clenched his fist in anger.

The angelic Nazar rolled his eyes.

“You are--”

There was a knocking on the door, hasty knocking.

“Ooooh,” the Demon’s snake-like tongue slithered, “can I kill her?”

“No,” a stern voice shouted out and everyone looked at him. It was a man in a black nanite armour. “If you want to die, just touch her.”

A Nazar of pure red energy full of anger blew a raspberry.

“Pff, let’s do this.”

He opened the door and Emma gasped.

“What...”

She squinted her eyes as she looked around the room.

“What happened… here?”

“Hey, can I kill you?”

Emma yelped.

“Wha--what? No, of course not.”

The red Nazar did not listen to her and extended his arm.

He reached his hand and touched her.

“!!”

The next instant, the red Nazar’s energy body wobbled and vanished into nothingness.

“Hrk!”

Emma gulped.

“Wh-wh...”

The Nazar in a black nanites armour - Ion - came close to Emma and hugged her tightly.

“It’s okay, he was just a construct.”

He lied.

But she believed him. After all, the other Nazar was translucent and made of energy. It made perfect sense.

So, she let out a sigh of relief.

“Some hero,” the Demon murmured.

The Demon raised his eyebrows with a faint thin smile pasted on his face.

He looked at the Angel who in return, sighed.

“I have created a subspace,” the Angel whispered to the Demon standing next to him.

“Then how?”

“He had made her immune to our powers. He can affect her, but not us.”

“Hm, she was able to walk through the barriers of a pocket universe?”

“Mm-hmm, unfortunately. The barrier around her can do wonders. Did you not see what she did to Rage?”

“Well, this has taken an interesting turn.”

“What happened here, Nazar?” Emma looked up at the armoured Nazar. “And why is there a demon and angel… What’s going on here?”

“...”

Ion breathed a sigh as the armour crawled away, revealing his face.

“A lot. A lot has happened since this morning and sad to say, nothing good. Please leave this subspace and return to the normal space in your home. Things… I don’t want anything bad to happen to you or anyone.”

Emma stared at him blankly, not sure how to react.

“Sure. But...”

Oooo-OOOOO-oooo-OOOO!

Like a beast in pain, the voice came from the room.

The many versions of Nazar looked around, confused, searching for the origin of this painful beast.

“What’s that?”

“I...”

Ion turned around and looked at the room with a questioning expression.

“I do not recognise that either,” the Demon shook his head.

“The subspace is being overwritten.”

“Huh?”

“This subspace is greater than a universe, but if--- If I don't gain control over it soon, it will collapse.”

The angel gulped.

“What’s that…?” Emma squinted her eyes in a confused manner.

A bright white light started to glow brighter and brighter as the howling of the beast increased.

“Increase the subspace, Angel. If you don’t any second this… Whatever it’s happening, it will collapse the universe on its own,” the human version of Nazar without powers was sitting in one corner while hugging his knees spoke sternly. “That body of mine is going through a change. It will grow-- The size and weight of that energy is too much for this universe.”

“...”

The Angel looked at the powerless human.

This is the Nazar they see often, but these other personalities never paid him any attention.

The Angel pursed his lips, thinking about what he should do.

Really, taking orders from a powerless version of the main personality is beneath him.

He hates that.

Clicking his tongue, the Angel said, “Alright.”

“A multiverse would not be enough. You need to grow bigger and bigger. This-- And Emma, please, leave. This is no place--”

“The subspace is collapsing, she cannot leave. It’s too late.”

The powerless Nazar, hugged his legs tightly in anger.

“I-- There seems to be another personality. Hidden personality, perhaps two of them. I-- He--- Ah, whatever the fuck--” he shouted angrily, causing everyone to step back.

While this Nazar does not have power, he is still the exact replica of the main personality and holds sufficient control over others.

So, hearing his angry shout, they subconsciously took a step back.

“I can sense them, so, Mind, bring them out. Life, help him. And Demon, bring in Death, Destruction and Quantum. Oh, and I need one of you to bring back Rage right now. If not, create one.”

The other personalities of Nazar glanced at one another.

They could not do anything but breath out a sigh.

“Alright.”

“Good.”

“Now then, Time, Space, Reality, Magic-- All of you, create an energy field across the subspace to confine us away from everything.”

“...”

The four of them - one who looked like a universe, the other made of green energy shaped like a portal, another who looked like a piece of paper with drawings, and magic which was made from many different colours - rolled their eyes.

"Angel, keep the subspace safe from withing."

Angel nodded in return.

“And Ion, keep Emma safe at any cost. Protect her with your life.”

Ion clenched his fist.

He sucked in a breath and tightened his chest.

“Of course,” the heroic Ion spoke in confidence.

“As for you, Emma...” his voice and shoulders sunk in regret. “I am sorry about all of this.”

“...”

She sighed.

“It’s okay, just fix this. And where is Laura?”

“Hmm,” Nazar lowered his head.

Many emotions ran wild through his mind, it confused him.

Anger, regret, depression, anxiety, sadness, defeat, and more.

Every emotion fighting to take over and lash out at the world.

But he pushed them down and said, “Good question...”

“??” Emma tilted her head to the right in a confused manner.

Oooo-OOOOO-oooo-OOOO-oooo-OOOOO-oooo-OOOO!

The beast’s howling increased ever further, causing the subspace to shake vigorously.

“It’s beginning.”

The powerless Nazar stood up with his fist clenched.

“We are going to experience something…” he narrowed his eyes. “Terrible.”

The subspace was increased by the Angel.

However, the more it expanded, the greater the howling of the beast became.

“What’s going on here?” Destruction spoke lazily as he appeared from thin air with Death. Quantum followed them soon. “I did not get to destroy anything, sigh.”

“The energy… It’s taking shape,” the powerless one stared at the energy, trying to make sense of it.

The energy took a form.

The energy left behind from the death of Nazar took a form of a giant beast.

The beast growled as the subspace became unstable.

The form of this energy was...

“DRAGON!?!?”

『WHOM MIGHT ALL YOU BE?』

The mechanical voice of the dragon shook the subspace, causing its reality to run wild in different direction. It was losing its shape and turning jet-black.

“...”

The many personalities of Nazar’s froze in their place.

Exchanging confused glances, they understood what was happening.

"He has no recollection of his own self. No memories or emotions," the Angel said.

"That's… weird."

The powerless Nazar gulped.

He wondered why he took the form of a dragon, but the answer came to him quickly.

A certain entity's image flashed in his mind.

"It can't…" with a pale face, he looked at this ever-growing beast, "be…"
