Chapter 41 - Birthday Gift - Part 2

There is a planet in a faraway galaxy. It’s always dark there with raging thunders.

This planet is always empty. Not because it's dark, but because the thunder is alive. It attacks everyone who enters this planet.

Under the raging skies, Lucifer shot himself towards Nazar at an unbelievable speed.

Before Nazar could react, he was punched in the face.

The shockwave from the punch destroyed the surface of the planet for hundreds of miles.

But Nazar took the punch to the face and stood still.

Whenever Nazar battles the angels and Gods - who used to be angels - the damage he receives lowers down automatically. It’s one of his many hax abilities as the creator.

For example, during his battle with Arael, the God of Power, the damage he received was extremely low. If Arael had used that much power against another God in the 3rd dimensional plane of existence, galaxies would have been decimated.

The same applies to Lucifer.

No matter how powerful his attacks are, they will be reduced heavily.

However, Lucifer is not just an angel and God. He is also a demon.

Nazar experimented on him and increased his powers significantly.

Lucifer is not just an angel. He is the centrepiece of the multiverse and this whole existence. If he were to die, everything will die.

So, Nazar increased his powers to a point where he should be able to protect himself against almost anyone.

“Impressive, new God.”

Lucifer jumped back.

“But don’t worry, I chose this planet for its unique properties.”

An artificial voice came out of Lucifer’s mouth.

“It’s a living planet.”

“Yes. And I have transformed this planet.”

A thin smile appeared on Lucifer’s face.

“This planet will be able to contain all the damage from this battle. If we were to battle outside of this planet, billions will die.”

Nazar found himself dumbfounded.

(If it’s that Goddess person… Wouldn’t they want to destroy stuff? I mean, if someone wants my power, they want to use it to destroy everything. So...)

“Who are you?”

“It’s a secret, new God.”

Lucifer stabbed his foot in the ground.

Tremors appeared all over the planet.

And thunders in the skies raged even more.

Controlling the thunders, Lucifer flew up.

With a wave of his hand, thunders were shot towards Nazar.

“Now, new God...”

Nazar heard a sinister laugh inside his head.

(Gehehehehe...)

And then froze in his place.

“Are you ready to suffer?”

Hundreds of thunders from the sky struck Nazar in the chest.

“Gah!”

Falling to the ground, Nazar thought.

(What was that? That’s… Was it Lucifer? Or whoever was controlling him? No, but it didn’t sound like Lucifer? It sounded similar.)

“What’s wrong, new God?”

As Nazar was falling down, Lucifer moved as fast as he could.

In an instant, he decreased the distance between him and Nazar which was only a few hundred meters.

Punching Nazar in the chest, he was pumped into the ground.

In the next instant, he found himself at the other end of the planet.

He was punched through the planet itself.

Nazar was too busy thinking. He didn’t even notice that he had flown through the core of the planet.

(That laugh… It sounded like mine, didn’t it?)

Seeing how Nazar was unfazed by any of this, Lucifer clicked his tongue in annoyance.

“You are pissing me off, new God!”

Lucifer flew up towards the sky.

(Well… Whatever the case… I will take care of it later on.)

Nazar took a deep breath.

(Now, I will take care of Lucifer.)

Nazar flew after Lucifer.

Sound of a powerful sonic boom can be heard on this planet.

It was not a normal sonic boom.

There was something else mixed with it. The molecules around Nazar were vibrating differently.

Even though Lucifer had a head start, Nazar reached the dark raging sky before him.

Seeing that, Lucifer paused immediately.

“Oh? How did you-- Ah.”

Lucifer noticed something. Nazar had manipulated space to get ahead of Lucifer.

“I don’t know who you are, but I am freeing Lucifer one way or another.”

“Hehe.”

Lucifer laughed.

“The only way to do is--”

“Shut up!”

Nazar spread his arms.

He started to control the raging thunder.

“I am going to free him.”

Controlling the thunder, he shot it towards Lucifer.

Of course, with Lucifer’s speed, he easily managed to dodge it.

But for a split second, Lucifer had looked to one side.

Nazar used that time to move near him.

Nazar’s hand turned into energy.

Clenching his energy-based fist and punched Lucifer in the face.

Lucifer was thrown towards the ground.

“Ah?”

(That anti-magic punch should give me a brief moment to get over with this shit.)

As Lucifer was flying down, a barrier appeared around him.

It was a yellow energy barrier.

(That should get rid of all external magical energies...)

Flying towards Lucifer, Nazar felt very troubled within.

(But most of his power comes from within. To free him, I need to make him unconscious so his mental barriers go down. Or...)

Nazar shook his head.

(No! Not that Not again. I won’t use those shitty powers.)

“[Breaker Touch].”

As he flew towards Lucifer, he clenched his fist.

“Destroy all magic with a touch.”

He swung his fist.

He was about to punch Lucifer.

But!

“If you destroy his magics and loses all of his power… Hehe. What do you think will happen?”

Nazar’s eyes widened.

(If Lucifer loses all of his power, there will be millions of these pathetic villains coming around from different universes and dimensions. They will want to destroy him. Most of them don’t even know what Lucifer really is.) Nazar thought in a troubled manner. (But more than that, his weakening can cause the universe a lot of troubles.

Nazar gritted his teeth.

“I have countermeasures against everything you use.”

The bubble around Lucifer vanished.

Lucifer had moved from his original place.

Before Nazar could react, a massive ball made of metal dropped on top of Nazar’s head.

Nazar fell to the ground.

“It’s...ngh… heavy,” Nazar said as he tried to move the massive metallic ball that had pumped him into the ground.

He didn’t even get a chance to save himself.

Another large metallic ball fell on top of it.

“Urk!”

(Fuck! This is getting...)

Nazar trailed off as he heard a voice in his head.

(Too much right?)

As Nazar froze once more to listen to the voice, Lucifer had picked him by the neck and threw him away.

While being thrown away, a light construct of a giant appeared and kicked Nazar back towards Lucifer.

He was being bounced off from one place to another.

(Then why don’t you--)

(SHUT THE FUCK UP!!)

(Oh well, if you fail, you can always rely on me.)

Nazar was being thrown towards Lucifer.

Lucifer smiled as he opened a portal.

The portal opened around Nazar.

Then it immediately closed and cut off Nazar in two halves.

(Ah? What just happened?)

Nazar’s eyes opened to reality once he felt his body being cut off.

His lower half had fallen a few meters away from him.

Weakly, Nazar stared at the dark sky.

(What is happening to me? Why does this personality want to kill me.)

Appearing on top of Nazar, an energy sword appeared in Lucifer’s hand and he stabbed Nazar in the chest.

(Why is it getting stronger now? Why?!)

Nazar didn’t even notice Lucifer. Or the intense pain he was feeling.

“It will take days to get rid of this poison. It’s an energy poison I made specifically for you. You will keep losing your powers for the next few days. Your mind will also be affected. Your control over some things will become much weaker."

Nazar’s vision flickered.

“I had 21 years to make this poison. How does it feel, new God? Do you like my present?”

“21… years?”

“In a world that is long gone, you killed me.”

(Isn’t it interesting?)

Nazar heard a voice inside his head once more.

(A God about to die in the hands of an angel. Haha... Pathetic!)

So, he forced his eyes open.

(You are a God. Then act like one.)

Nazar felt his powers lowering.

“Recharge!”

With Recharge, he can regain all of his lost energies.

But whatever the poison was, it started to consume more of his power.

(With just a short sentence… You can end it all. You can save Lucifer. Save yourself.)

Lucifer jumped up.

Floating high above him, Lucifer waved his hand and spikes appeared of the ground.

Spikes made of burning metal stabbed into Nazar’s body.

“Now then...”

Lucifer moved his hands slightly and the spikes moved.

It ripped Nazar into small pieces.

The crimson blood spurted all over the place.

His guts fell onto the ground. His eyes had fallen nearby too.

Even though most of his organs were not connected, he could feel them.

So, he could see his own organs with his eyes.

His vision was flickering but he could still see a little.

Lucifer landed in front of his eyes.

“Goodbye, new God.”

Lucifer squashed his eyeballs.

Nazar’s vision blackened.

The Void:

A place full of darkness. This is where the dead souls of powerful individuals end up.

Previously, Hell and Heaven held them. But a powerful being overthrew one of the demons who was keeping them in hell and started a revolution.

Of course, they got rid of him.

After that incident, Hell and Heaven came to a decision. People above a certain level cannot enter Hell or Heaven. So, they created the Void. A place that exists between the many dimensions.

Nazar was not surprised once he found himself here.

The Demon King had said that under his rule, Hell can contain powerful beings.

So, why did he end up here?

The answer is simple: he exists above the concept of Hell and Heaven. So, when Nazar dies in the third dimensional plane of existence, he will always end up in the Void.

And he knew that answer. He knew he will end up here.

But even then, he seemed disappointed.

(See? You are alone here too.)

He heard the same voice in his head again.

In this place, there is no sound or light. This place is made of nothingness.

(Pathetic!)

He tried not to think too hard about the voice in his head.

(Everyone wants to be a God. But you ARE a God. So, why the fuck are you running away from it? This is your destiny. Your fate.)

“.................................”

Nazar screamed “shut up” but no sound came out.

(See? You can’t even hear your own voice. Absolute pathetic… Aha! I will take control of this body now.)

The voice in his head sounded very excited.

(I can take over this body whenever I want...)

The voice laughed.

(But I like messing around with you the most.)

Nazar’s eyes widened.

His heart started to beat faster and faster in horror.

(You are wondering why I will be taking over now?)

Something happened in his mind.

His mind became completely dark.

(This is messing up my main plan.)

Swallowed by the darkness, Nazar’s body was taken over by someone else.

“I shall end whoever is causing this… I never calculated this. It’s outside of my calculation. I shall take care of this irregularity.”

The concept of sound was not supposed to exist but this person in charge of Nazar’s body was talking as if it was normal.

"Now then..."

Light was not supposed to exist here either. But Nazar's body was glowing.

And then he vanished into thin air.

လလလ

In a faraway place, away from everything, in a dark place, a man was levitating.

In this dark place, only his red eyes can be seen.

“Oh? This is getting interesting.”

A thin smile appeared on his face.

“Miscalculations… I didn’t think that was possible.”

His red eyes glowed up.

“Should I improvise the plan… No. I should merely get rid of this miscalculation.”

လလလ

In another dimension, away from everything, Michael watched everything with a worried look on his face.

“What is happening here?” he muttered to himself.

Cold sweat poured down on his face as he hurried away somewhere.

A portal opened and he walked through it.

Appearing in the bedroom of that woman, Michael said, “There is a big problem.”

“What?”

The woman sat up.

But it looked like she was in pain.

“There is a miscalculation. On our side.”

“...?”

“Lucifer… Someone is controlling him. And Nazar just started using his Godly powers.”

“Oh?”

“There is a third party involved in this.”

The woman thought to herself.

“Who is it? The Supreme One? Nameless One?”

Michael shook his head.

“It can’t be them. The energy trail I picked up from Lucifer… It’s similar to you, Nazar and Arosus.”

“Perhaps the $%S^&@?”

“What?”

Michael didn’t hear the last word at all. It came off as a buzzing noise.

“Oh, right.”

“Do you know who it is?”

She nodded.

“I think.”

“Then...”

“Even if I were to say his name, you won’t be able to hear it. It will come to as a buzzing noise.”

“Oh?”

“You are a lower being. Those name… They are too much for you.”

Michael felt a little agitated.

“Keep an eye on the situation.”

“Okay.“

A portal appeared behind Michael and he walked through it.
