Arc 32 - 30,000 years ago

Iket Xehz, the divine ruler of Vanaha Empire showed up a few seconds ago on Earth. He sent a telepathic message to Nazar. In this message he tells him to meet Iket or else a certain special female will be in trouble.

But the people close to Nazar are all right. So, what is Iket talking about?

After receiving the message, he looked at Emma and asked, “Where is Mary?”

“Huh?” She looked confused at his weird behaviour.

A few seconds ago, he was perfectly fine, but now he was uneasy.

“She at grandma’s house.”

“Whose grandma?”

“Our grandma.” She said while she pointed at Nazar then at herself using her index finger.

“Ah.” Nazar paused and then thought of someone else.

(Damn it, I really hate using nigh-omnipresence… wait.)

“Aarin check if Mary is alright.”

“She is fine,” Aarin said after a few seconds.

Nazar looked a little relieved.

“Emily?”

“She is fine.”

“Mikasa?”

“She is fine too.”

“Well, then who is he talking about?”

“What are you talking about?” Emma asked in a confused tone.

Nazar looked Aarin and she looked a little confused too.

“Someone sent me a telepathic message and said that if I don’t meet him soon, a certain special female will be in trouble,” Nazar explained. “Seriously, instead of saying ‘certain special female’, just use your telepathy and find out their name.”

Nazar frowned at the last part.

“I know where he is,” Aarin said.

“So do I.” Nazar paused. “But I just needed to find out who that certain somebody was.”

Aarin, who was less than a meter away walked towards Nazar and placed her hand on his shoulder. They both vanished into thin air.

Nazar found himself floating beside Aarin. And in front of him was a man who was too bright to look at. Nazar had to close his eyes for a little bit.

He then looked at Aarin and said, “You know I can teleport by myself, right?”

“I know.”

They both turned their gaze towards this man who was too bright to look at. He then started to speak. And to their surprise, it was not in Xian, but in English.

“My name is Iket Xehz, the ruler of Vanaha Empire.”

“Oh, the one who sent those assassins after Nazar?” Aarin asked.

“Yes, it was needed.”

“And why is that?” Nazar stood silently, so Aarin asked the question.

“We think you might destroy Earth and if that happens, then it could be troublesome for the universe,” Iket explained, but both Nazar and Aarin had a blank look on their faces.

“Oi, Aarin?” Nazar said slowly.

“Yes?”

“Do you know what he means by that?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Useless angel,” Nazar muttered under his breath but Aarin heard him.

Nazar tried to look at Iket, but he was just too bright.

“Why do you want to protect Earth so badly?” Nazar asked as he tried to dim the light around him.

“If that is your last wish then, I shall tell you a tale.” Iket paused and looked towards Aarin. “Do you know how Lucifer became a fallen angel?”

“No, not really. However, I was told that he attacked heaven or something?”

“What the hell have you been doing your whole life?” Nazar snapped at her.

“Then let me tell you the secrets of Earth, Lucifer, and the rest of the universe.”

----------------------------------------------------

Earth - 30,000 years ago:

A planet that is at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy. A planet with no vegetations. No live forms. Absolutely nothing.

In this nothingness, a being with unlimited energies came to this backwater planet. He stood on it. He looked around and he saw nothing but potential.

This man turned out to be an angel. The most powerful among angels and demons. The first angel. The most powerful angel. Lucifer.

The angel changed the environment. He created oxygen here, carbon dioxide and much more. He then created water. Then vegetations. Then animals. Then humans.

He created oceans and mountains too.

In no time, the whole world was filled with so many things. A planet which had nothing now had everything.

The people who did not exist now had everything they needed for survival.

“I shall call it Earth,” Lucifer muttered.

Lucifer watched from the shadows as the people he created from nothingness went on with their lives. He could make them the most powerful beings in the universe, but he wanted to see what kind of potential his creation would have.

While Lucifer was watching over his creation, people of the Brot Empire, Vanaha Empire, and Duluria Empire, which were the biggest empire in the surrounding galaxies, they formed a temporary alliance. They merged together to investigate what has happened to this backwater planet.

These big three empires sent their representative into this unknown world. A world that changed a caused a crack in the very reality.

There were hundreds of investigators that landed in a place that humans now call Brazil.

They landed and saw that there were mountains and oceans. They had known that this planet was nothing. It had nothing but now it has everything.

When the investigators went back to their empires, they all wanted to make this planet part of their empire.

Brot Empire sent in their forces first. Their ships landed in many different parts of the planet. Vanaha Empire and Duluria Empire also did the same. Their ships landed on Earth and they all began their conquest.

Once these empires found each other here, like always, they started fighting against one another.

Lucifer watched what they did. They were not interfering with humans, so it was not a problem.

However, the battle between these three empires continued. It continued for days. All of them wanted this planet to be part of their empire. All of them wanted this cosmic phenomenon to be part of their empire.

Day after day the battle continued. The people of three races brought in their own reinforcements.

As the days passed, the whole world was now turned into a battlefield, so Lucifer stopped watching. He stopped watching and started taking actions.

As soon as he arrived at the battlefield, the whole planet went back to how it was when Lucifer created people in it. And every soldier and general found themselves in their own empires. They were confused.

Because the war was started by Brot Empire.

Lucifer came to the throneworld of Brot Empire and stood in the middle of nowhere. He broadcasted a message.

“I have created life on a backwater a planet I call Earth.” Lucifer started his message. “I know you are all trying to take over it or destroy it, but know one thing, if you even try to destroy it or if you even think about conquering it, I will return and I will lay waste to this entire universe.”

After his message was broadcasted, he created a barrier around the planet which he called Earth. The barrier wrapped not just Earth but a few surrounding planets.

As Lucifer was about to leave this universe and return to a place of his choosing, Michael Appeared.

Michael was the leader of angels. He was given this position because he was the second most powerful angel after Lucifer and because Lucifer did not care about things like these.

“Stop, Lucifer!” Michael shouted on top of his lungs.

As he shouted, the buildings trembled. The people’s eardrum burst.

Michael is the second most powerful angel, but he is nowhere near the level of Lucifer.

Lucifer’s true power is unknown. It is said that he is the second most powerful being in the universe after the supreme being. Some call him God. Some call him the Supreme One. And some refer to him as something else.

“Oh, if it is not the leader of angels,” Lucifer said in a mocking tone. “What do you want?”

“It is not a job befitting of a great angel like you.” Michael paused. “We watched what you did to that planet, but we cannot allow roaming freely in this universe.”

“We?”

As they were speaking, Michael felt his power increasing.

“We angels will stop you.”

Upon hearing that, Lucifer burst into laughter.

“Where are the others?”

A grin ripped Michael's face in half. Upon seeing that grin, Lucifer’s body and face stiffened.

“You don’t mean…?”

“That’s right, brother. Father is making me your equal.” As Michael said that, he charged towards the first angel like a rocket.

He moved beyond the speed of light. He kicked and punched, but it was useless. He was still not at that level to be able to face off against someone like Lucifer.

As soon as Michael made contact with Lucifer, it did not damage Lucifer. So, Michael moved back again in a very high speed.

Upon seeing that Michael will not stop, Lucifer stopped playing around.

“I am nigh-omnipotent. I can go against father if I wanted to.” Lucifer paused and a smile appeared on his face. “Even if you sacrifice all of the angels, you will never be my equal.”

Lucifer unleashed his wings. It was white wings. He opened his blue eyes which were now replaced by white energy. His whole body started emitting bright white energy.

“Why doesn’t father makes you as powerful as me?” Lucifer said. “It’s because you will disobey him like I did. So, he is sacrificing thousands of his angels to make you fight me.”

Michael heard it all, but he paid no attention to it. He merely felt more and more power coming into him. He paid no deep attention to Lucifer’s words.

Michael stood there with a grin on his face. He charged towards Lucifer at once. He moved faster than light speed.

He punched Lucifer. Kicked him. Kneed him. Threw him away. Shoot him with energy beams.

However, Lucifer mere stood still and smiled.

This angered Michael. Every second an angel was being sacrificed and their power was added to Michael.

Michael felt more and more power being added to him.

While Lucifer was doing nothing to fight back. He merely smiled and taunted Michael about his powerlessness.

After a few minutes, Lucifer finally started to respond to these pathetic kicks and punches from Michael.

As Michael was about to punch him, he held Michael’s hand in his palm.

He threw Michael which led to the destruction of buildings and properties and death for miles.

Lucifer moved faster than Michael could even dream about. He got closer to Michael and held him by his throat.

“Is the people you want to protect?” Lucifer said. “I saw you saving them while you were fighting me.”

Michael did not answer. He could not even if he wanted to.

Lucifer’s smile became twisted.

He let go of Michael and closed his eyes.

After a few seconds, every planet and every citizen of Brot Empire across the universe started to explode. After a few minutes of explosions that looked like fireworks, the Brot Empire was now an empire that only existed in history books.

In that time, he also killed the leaders of many empires.

As Michael watched the destruction around him, he was shocked and he felt fear.

Lucifer and Michael were now standing in the middle of darkness. All they could see around them were ashes.

Michael felt more power being added to him, but he still felt weaker.

“Do you know how an angel becomes a fallen angel?” Lucifer said. “When father made us, he made sure that we obey him. He made sure the orders that are programmed into our minds are always followed. But I never found any orders within me, until today. Until today when he asked me to return back to the heaven.”

As he was talking, his wings turned pitch black. His blue eyes turned red. His bright white energy turned dark.

“I disobeyed the order and now I am a fallen angel.” Lucifer smile as a grin ripped his face in half. “He made me so powerful that even I could disobey him. That is why he has made all of you so weak. Even if he adds more power to you now by killing other angels, you will always have to follow him.”

Lucifer laughed and laughed in the darkness of space and Michael could do absolutely nothing.

“What are you going to do now, leader of angels?” Lucifer asked.

“...”

Michael did not reply.

He merely held his arms out. He raised them and the planets around him were recreated. Instead of reviving them, he created new empires. One of the empires was Chochica Empire. Every citizen of the new empires had a degree of angelic magick embedded into their DNA. However, not everyone can use it.

He also fixed the broken reality and Earth was spared because Lucifer would destroy everything if that backwater planet is ever injured.

While the whole thing was happening, Lucifer had broadcasted the whole thing inside the mind of every citizen. He wanted them to fear him.

After that, Lucifer travelled to a heaven and destroyed it completely. It was a heaven that was under his rule.

And since then, no one has seen him. Not an angel or a demon or a man.

----------------------------------------------------

Today - Earth:

“You see, Earth is a planet full of angelic magick and it is also a time bomb waiting to destroy everything,” Iket said.

“Quite a story,” Nazar said while nodding in a mocking way. “So, we are the descendants of Lucifer?”

Nazar laughed.

“So, how did you guys know about this whole thing?”

“It was broadcasted telepathically around the universe, except for Earth,” Iket replied to Nazar’s question.

“So, what about our history? Has it all been a lie?”

“It is just a legend, but some theories suggest that Michael afterwards modified the planet to make it looks like it had life forms on it for billions of years. However, that was only to humans. The rest of the universe knew the true answer.”

Upon hearing that, Nazar went silent for a little while.

“Okay, so you are here to tell me that I need to die in order for the rest of the universe of survive?”

“Yes,” Iket replied immediately.

His eyebrows narrowed. “I would have liked that offer a few weeks ago.” He paused. “I am not going to die… no, I don’t want to die anymore.”

“I won’t let you even touch him,” Aarin spoke this time.

“You,” Iket said as he turned his gaze towards Aarin. “You are an angel, right?”

“Yes.”

“Good to know,” Iket smiled, but Nazar did not see it. “It means that I get to avenge my brother and test Angel Fall.”

Nazar was surprised to hear that.

“Avenge? What are you talking about?”

“The person who had you captured, and it turned out it was his brother and I killed him.”

“You went to that planet? Are you stupid? Those guys are powerful.” Nazar took a deep breath. “They even have a speedster.”

“Stop downgrading me. I killed the speedster first then the person in charge, who happened to be this guy’s brother.”

“...”

“...”

Nazar was shocked to hear that, so he did not know what to say. Iket was speechless as well. She did not even pretend to hide that she killed this man’s brother.

“Anyway, what is Angel Fall?”

“It’s a project that I developed thousands of years. It allows me to fight an angel.” Iket explained. He sounded very proud of his work.

“Well, I really couldn’t care less about that,” Nazar said. “I want to know who will be in trouble. Who is the ‘certain special female’ you guys mentioning?”

“...”

Iket did not answer. He was a man who spent thousands of years developing a weapon that will allow him to fight an angel, but these two in front of him looked like they couldn’t care less.

He looked frustrated. His red eyes went bloodshot.

And just like that, he moved so fast that Nazar did not even understand what happened.

Nazar found himself on the ground. In the middle of nowhere.

He looked around and saw absolutely nothing.

Before he could even recover, he was thrown away again. This time he found himself in the middle of a city. He looked around and before he could figure out, he was thrown again.

Every time he was thrown, he felt tremendous pain. He started coughing blood every time he was thrown. It was like something punching him.

He found himself in the middle of the ocean this time.

Before he knew it, he found himself outside of Earth’s orbit.

Less than a second later, he was thrown away this time.

This time the distance increased. He was moving in space without his control. He tried to stop but he could not. He was coughing blood.

In less than 3 seconds, he landed. As soon as he landed, a massive crater was created.

This time, he had time to recover.

He looked around once more and found himself 1 KM deep in the ground.

He flew up and looked around. He did not recognise it.

“Do you recognise this place?” A voice came through.

Nazar could not tell which direction it was coming from. He could not see anything in a distance.

“Its a planet called Mars.” The voice continued to speak.

Nazar looked at every direction and could not see or sense anything.

“Oh, I forgot about that useless angel.”

It was followed by a terrifying laugh.

Before Nazar could even think, Aarin appeared before him. She was confused as well.

“Where…?” Aarin wanted to ask but she also heard a voice.

“Mars.”

Just as both Nazar and Aarin tried to look around and find out where it was coming from, something appeared before them. A white bright light. A light so bright that it was blinding. It was as bright as Aarin’s light when she used it a few days ago.

“Tell me, angel, can you fight me?”

The voice asked a question. But Aarin did not answer.

“Do I have to kill you first before I kill the boy?”

The bright light continued to come towards them… no, it was already next to them. It has been moving around all this time, surrounding them at high speed. The bright light Nazar and Aarin were seeing was just an after-image.

“We are dealing with someone way above our league,” Nazar whispered to Aarin.

“...Yeah.” Aarin replied.

“Of course, you are. I am way above you.” It was again followed by a laugh.

Then the after-image disappeared and the bright light appeared.

Actually, it was not bright light. It was just the energy this person was giving off.

The person came closer and closer. He was now just standing a little away from Nazar and Aarin, who were both floating.

The man stood before them looked like a human now and his light went dimmer and dimmer until he could actually be seen. He was a man with blonde hair and white eyes.

A few seconds later, white wings spread wide from his back. He started to fly too and be on the same footing as his enemies, who are nothing to him.

“Do you know this angel?”

“No,” Aarin replied slowly to Nazar’s question.

“Useless angel...” Nazar muttered again under his breath.

“My name is Iket Xehz, and I am the divine ruler of Vanaha Empire.” The voice spoke. “I am the cosmic messiah and the cosmic destroyer.” The man paused and he spread his arms wide. “And this is Angel Fall.”

Upon hearing that, Aarin’s body stiffened and Nazar found himself speechless.

“With this, I am nigh-omnipotent.” Iket paused as a smile ripped his face in half. “Afterall, I created this to fight Lucifer.”
