Chapter 165 - Chochica Empire (Part 7)

Mysterious planet - Chochica Empire:

Nazar was floating a few centimetres above the ground.

The High Priest of Chochica Empire was kneeling before him and he swore his allegiance to him.

Lian was also floating inside a barrier Nazar had created for her. She had no idea what was going on.

“Please take it,” the High Priest said while kneeling before Nazar.

“You want to hand over an alien empire to me?” Nazar sounded confused.

“Well, not alien to us… but yes.”

Nazar’s mind went blank.

(What? What the hell? What the fuck? Wait, this is happening kind of because of me, right? What the what? Why? When? Wait, what am I thinking. Okay, calm down.)

Nazar took a few deep breaths.

“If you don’t accept it, then our empire will die. And someone worse will take control of it.”

“I cannot run an empire.”

“You don’t have to. Just be our new ‘Michael’.”

“That’s it?”

“Yes. Just become that figure and you don’t have to do anything else. Just change a few rules and we will follow them. We will rename the Church into--”

“No, I don’t want to be a god...”

And then Nazar remembered something.

He has been playing god a lot these days.

And he is an actual god.

“Please?”

“Stop giving me those puppy eyes?”

Nazar sighed.

He thought about it.

“Okay, a few conditions.”

“Yes!”

Baros looked very happy all of a sudden.

“One. All of these ‘inhumane’ experiments must stop.”

He nodded.

“Two. The Church is no longer in charge. I will keep it because I really don’t wish to disrespect other people’s belief.”

Baros nodded again.

He looked very happy.

“Three. Everyone should be equal.”

He kept on nodding.

“Four. I am not to be worshipped at all.”

He was confused but nodded anyway.

“Five. Destroy this planet and take everyone back. Let them live a proper life.”

He nodded again.

“Six. Never use people.”

He nodded.

“Seven. Lian will be your right hand.”

He was nodding when he noticed what Nazar said.

His happy smile turned into a wry smile.

“Eight. You will be the one who is leading the empire.”

His smile vanished completely.

“......Huh?”

“You are leading the empire from now on.”

Baros started to look disappointed and sad.

He lowered his head.

“I… I just wanted to dump everything on you… but it backfired, huh?”

“I knew you were dumping it on me. So, suck it.”

Nazar sighed.

He then formed a smile.

“But don’t worry, I have a plan.”

He looked up.

Nazar could see a little hope in his eyes.

“Every single planet will have its own ruler. So, you will only need to rule over those select few people.”

He bowed down.

“My liege… You are truly the greatest.”

“Nine. Don’t ever refer to me as anything else. Call me Nazar.”

He nodded his head. He looked very happy.

“Yes, Nazar.”

He stood up and rested his sword on his right shoulder.

“We are at your service.”

Nazar sighed.

“You are our king now. We are your subjects.”

“Ah, fuck. I think I made another decision without thinking too much about, huh?” Nazar muttered under his breath.

“I will try and calm stuff down. So, come in a few days and select the new rulers with me. Please?”

Nazar frowned.

“Fine.”

“Oh, and you need to come with me and get rid of the Church.”

“Okay...”

They both vanished into thin air.

Nazar was still confused.

Once he appeared in Chias, the capital of Chochia Empire, he used his powers to look around.

Once he did, he was confused and surprised.

“People are happy for me?”

“Yes. The rules of the Church were very, very strict. And you seem like the kind of person who will bring in changes.”

“Weird how they are getting used to me very quickly.”

“The word of the High Priest is like a word from the very God itself until now. So, once they saw me happy and accepting you, they accepted you.”

“Weird.”

Nazar was not sure how to react.

“This is your kingdom now,” Baros said as he pointed around him.

They were now inside the Church.

The Archbishops, bishops, priests and others were waiting for Nazar and the High Priest, Baros.

“”

“”

“”

“Tch.”

As soon as Nazar clicked his tongue, all of the people opposing him were down.

Baros was truly surprised.

“Th-those guys could bring down a p-p-planet.”

Nazar gave him a blank look.

“H-hmph. O-of course, I can destroy a planet pretty easily too. Afterall, I have a proportion of Michael’s power.”

Nazar wanted to ask more about his power but he wanted to leave here immediately and go home.

(I am hungry.)

“Fix this. I will be back soon. I will take care of those people you guys have ‘created’.”

He walked past the High Priest.

“I will take care of the rest later. Just calm the people down for now.”

“Okay, my--Nazar.”

The High Priest bowed slightly.

“Let’s go, Lian.”

Lian was still not sure what was going on.

It was going too fast for her.

“Wah? Ha? What?”

Nazar sighed.

He placed his hand on her head and his eyes lit up with energy.

It changed colour between blue, red, green, yellow, black and white.

After a few seconds, he went back to normal.

“Done,” he said as he let out a small sigh.

“D-done what?”

“You won’t die next month. I rewrote your physiology. You are just like every other person on this empire. And I will do the same to rest. Lead me to them.”

She was not sure how to react.

Of course, she was happy, but it happened too fast.

And she also has no time to celebrate.

She pushed her emotions back and nodded.

Her king gave her an order.

To Nazar, it was a simple request but to he,r it was something else.

“Please follow me.”

They went around the whole empire. Within a few minutes, Nazar gathered all of them in one place and ‘healed’ them. They were ‘normal’ now.

He did this all by just raising his hand and they were ‘fixed’.

He then went to the mysterious planet.

He found those people who die quickly.

He changed them all.

And ‘fixed’ them.

Lian could not keep up with everything that was happening. It was all happening too fast for her.

But Nazar seemed normal.

To him, this was normal.

He then evacuated the whole planet by teleporting everyone and everything at once.

The planet was empty.

He then blew it up.

Lian saw it all happen.

In less than 15 minutes, the empire she knew all this time changed.

And she couldn't help herself but be scared of Nazar.

For the first time since she has known Nazar, she felt true fear.

(Th-this is… He is truly a powerful being.)

She thought about so much that happened.

But could not wrap her head around it.

What just happened? It happened too fast for her… and everyone else.

She was standing where a planet was supposed to be but she was not hurt.

Nazar had placed a barrier around her.

A few minutes later, Nazar appeared in front of her.

“Ya… that was a lot of work.”

“...”

She did not know how to respond.

“Wh-what just happened…?”

“Not so sure myself. But I will take care of it soon.”

“Oh...”

“Just go home for now and think these through.”

“Uh?”

“Look, I know it’s hard to get through stuff like these. So, just think some stuff through.”

“...?”

“I don’t know how to explain this...” Nazar muttered under his breath.

“Anyway, can I ask you a question?”

“Of course,” Lian answered immediately.

“Do you know any rare metals around? I need it for something.”

“Rare metals…?”

She thought about it for a minute.

“Well, there is one. The church has a metal that is hard to find but its not the rarest metal ever.”

“Oh. And can I get it?”

She gave him a blank look.

“I can pay for it...”

“Forgive my rudeness…”

“Hn?”

“But what the hell? Are you stupid?”

“Kh.”

Nazar let out a sound.

His eyebrows twitched.

“Sorry...”

“Don’t be. I am still a little confused about this myself.”

Nazar sighed.

“And you don’t have to be formal with me, okay?”

“If that’s--”

“I said don’t be formal with me. So, just be how we used to be, except for all those ‘love’ stuff.”

“Well, it’s cool with me. But it’s awkward from now on...”

“No, its not. You will get used to it.”

“Okay.”

Nazar smiled.

“Anyway, so can I get that metal?”

“Of course, you can. You are basically the king of this empire now.”

“Still hard to believe,” Nazar muttered.

Nazar and Lian then vanished.

They appeared at the Church.

Baros was still there.

Once he saw Nazar, he seemed to happy and excited.

“Thank god, you are here. Now you can take over--”

“Nope.”

All of a sudden, a gloomy aura appeared around him.

“Aww.”

“Anyway, he needs Chranium,” Lian said.

Baros’s eyes widened.

“He needs it for something.”

“Oh, okay. But it's very rare.”

“How rare?” Nazar asked.

“My armour is made of it. Honestly, it's not that rare but hard to get because that planet is full of powerful monsters.”

“Oh.”

“But we have a lot here. It’s not like we use it, so don’t worry about it. You can use it.”

“Oh.”

He left.

After a few minutes, Baros gave him an orb.

“This is the one. It is in liquid form inside this sphere but once you use it, it should be fine.”

“Oh, okay?”

Nazar sounded a little confused.

“If you need help with it, let me know.”

“Okay,” Nazar said as he smiled.

It was an awkward smile.

He then vanished into thin air.

“”

“”

“”

She looked at Baros in confusion.

“”

“”

“”

He looked at her and gave her a while smile.

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

Lian was still unsure about it.

“”

“”

There was a little silence.

“”

Lian shook her head.

“”

For some reasons, he sounded happy and bitter at the same time.

He was happy but also kind of sad and angry at the same time.

“”

“”

Earth-5:

On Earth-4, there was commotion not too long ago. It was the same thing as Earth-1 when the people found out there was going to be a meteor shower.

Here it was not much different. There was commotion because all of a sudden, this world’s Nazar started attacking people. It was as if he was being mind controlled.

A woman was sitting in a rice field. somewhere away from all of them.

She was wearing a bikini armour.

She stood up.

She waved her hand on all of a sudden wind appeared.

The wind started to blow on her face.

She closed her eyes and smiled.

“”

The wind kept on blowing on her.

There was no wind anywhere closeby.

Her fingers twitched and all of a sudden, water splashed all over her body.

It came out of nowhere.

“”

She then looked up.

She crouched a little and then flew towards the sky.

As she did, the rice field was destroyed.

The crops were bad now.

Once she was high enough, she looked down on the planet.

“”

A portal appeared and it swallowed her.

The portal then vanished.
