Chapter 61 - Reawakening - Part 2

In a dark dimension, far away from everything, the Queen giggled.

“It’s finally done.”

In front of her, was standing another being.

“How many times has this one failed?”

“This time it will be different.”

“That is true. It sent ripples through creation as a whole. It never happened before, right?”

She shook her head.

“This is the last time, right?”

The other being smiled thinly.

“Don’t worry. If this ultraverse gets destroyed, I will create a new one and plant him there.”

“Ah, thanks.”

“I know I said failure is the only option… But how many more times are you going to fail?”

She thought about it.

“Trust me, we will win this time.”

“And that is?”

She lowered her head.

“You made other people close to him remember the original world and the horrors he has caused, but instead of them leaving him isolated, he just got closer to them.”

“...”

“His girlfriend should have also left him. But when she remembered, she got closer to him. What a disappointment.”

“You talked about his other abnormal personality before, right?”

“It’s useless.”

He sighed.

“Anyway, I will make sure we win this time.”

“Oh, really now?”

“Yes. My plan so far has been flawless… Well, to a certain degree.”

She looked up.

“Trust me, the isolation part of the plan is still in effect.”

With a curious look, the other being said, “Oh?”

“Let him get close. And then...”

The Queen smiled thinly.

“We kill them. In front of him.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. It will happen soon.”

“Ah.”

The other being also smiled.

It seems he had caught onto what she was thinking about.

“When the God Eater shows up, Nazar will call for Arosus.”

“And then Arosus will do the job? Oh, that’s rather interesting.”

“Well, we should set up a scenario where all of his closed ones are there so they can die. It will work, right?”

“Yes. We have not tried this. It will definitely hurt him. Hurt him enough that he would want to reach that status and give us what we want--”

She trailed off as she realised something.

“The Dragon…”

“Oh yes, you still haven’t gotten his ability.”

“Wait!”

“We can use his own personality!”

Both the Queen and the other being were in sync. They were thinking of the same thing.

“Keep his emotions in check for longer and keep him busy.”

“And once I get the Dragon’s ability,” she smiled. “We will call bring him to the designated area and have him relive all of that, which will have him go out of control and give us what we want.”

“And if that doesn’t work…?”

“Hmm… I guess I should throw him into a false reality to buy some time?”

The other being was not too sure about that.

“Then I use her.”

“Her…? Ah.”

The Queen stood up.

“The God Eater… The Parasite… The Angel Killer… The Demon King… Archangel Michael... The Speedster… Her… Hehehe, it will work out this time.”

“What about Emily?”

The smile on the Queen’s face wavered.

“She is extremely powerful.”

“She doesn’t pose a threat since she does not care. And I don’t think she will be bothered this time either.”

“True.”

“As for Nazar… We need to keep him busy if Arosus fails to kill them. I was thinking of giving the God Killer to someone. A human. To keep him off track. And then later utilise the Angel Killer more effectively. And then...”

“I don’t know where the Dragon is. But he is coming. We both can sense it, Queen.”

“Yes. He will always be the biggest threat to us. Him reaching this place… It happens randomly.”

The other being sighed.

“We need to find a way for Nazar to reach a point where he would want to become a God after you steal Dragon’s ability.”

“We tried this so many times and yet we still don’t know how to make him reach that state. How did it happen the first time?”

“...”

“And are we sure he can reach that state of power again? Because what if he cannot?”

“...”

There was no answer again.

Inside a small cafe in central London, Nazar was lying down on the floor, holding his head.

Memories of dozens of destroyed timelines were flooding into his mind.

Emily, who unlocked those memories for him sat near his head.

“There is so much that you don’t know.”

She picked up his head and placed it on her lap.

“Oh, and don’t expect that woman’s identity from me. I am blocked too.”

Nazar, despite the mental pain he was feeling, he looked Emily in the eyes.

“Just close your eyes and I will tell you everything I know.”

Nazar closed his eyes.

“There are hundreds of other ultraverses and of course, a lot of megaverses.”

Nazar, in his mind, was right now floating outside of the ultraverse, looking at another light.

“There is a sister multiverse right next to this one. That is our megaverse.”

She scoffed.

“Scratch that. Was.”

In front of Nazar, the other light vanished.

“The other ultraverse died a few decades ago for some reasons. But the remains of it… You can still see it, right?”

“Yes.”

“Anyway, moving on… She reset the timeline dozens of times just to get to you.”

“.........What?”

“In the first-- No, second timeline and her first attempt, she failed very quickly. Every time she tried, she managed to withstand against you longer but since the element of surprise was taken and you wouldn’t reach Godhood, she reset time.”

“Why can’t I see her?”

“...I don’t know.”

“Tch.”

“And one more thing; she also seems to be forgetting bits and bits here and there every time she resets time. It’s kind of like an after effect of it.”

“How do you know that?”

“I have met her a few times. But I cannot recall her since I am also being messed around with. I have made sure that I am no longer being messed around with… Anyway, but I think you might stand a chance now that you are free. Not 100% free, though.”

Nazar was trying to go through his many memories. Every time, she comes closer to winning but Nazar wins and doesn’t become a God.

With those memories, he also remembered how much physical, mental and emotional torture he went through.

There were a few people who appeared constantly in his memories.

His family, Laura, and Rina.

“You understand why your family was there but you are struggling to understand why Laura and Rina are always there, right?”

Nazar opened his eyes.

“Well, Laura has always been your bridge with humanity. And Rina…”

Emily scratched her head.

“What is she again?”

“Did you just get your memory wiped?”

“Nah. It’s just it was never really there, to begin with, honestly. But either way, she is the main suspect in all of this. So, if I were you, I would go and give her a visit.”

“Okay.”

“If our connection was stronger, we would have been able to surpass this barrier and restore our minds completely.”

“Stronger connection?”

She nodded.

“It will have to be on physical, emotional and metaphysical level.”

Nazar sighed.

“That’s impossible.”

“We can also do physical,” Emily said as she winked. “But we need emotional and metaphysical connection. But that’s tricky to gain. It could take months to gain something like that. We could use your hot girlfriend but I don’t think we can be in a polyamory relationship. I mean, I would love that but I don’t think she would want it.”

Nazar scratched his eyes in an annoyed manner.

“Let’s be honest, even she won’t be able to help in this. We don’t have a stronger connection with each other. Heck, you don’t have a very strong connection with her either.”

“...?”

Emily smiled thinly.

“Wait, when you break up with her, can you send her to me? Or you can come to me?”

“I don’t think she is into girls.”

“That’s disappointing… But I will forgive her since she is so hot.”

“...”

“But I was serious. If you ever break up with her, I will make myself free,” she winked.

“I thought you were lesbian.”

And the reply he got was a slap to the face.

“Oh, thank you so much for reminding me of that.”

“I am sorry?”

“Oh no, it won’t be that easy. You changed my sexuality and all you got is sorry?”

“Well...”

“Yes, the Nameless One had ‘set my settings to love you’ but...”

“And I accidentally - without knowing about until years later - redirected those feelings towards the closest person-- Who was that again?”

“Sophia Avery.”

“Ah yes, her.”

Nazar sat up.

“Well… I am sorry, okay?”

“I can’t say I hate you 100%. I did discover my sexuality like that.”

“So...”

“I am bisexual now.”

“Ah.”

Emily pulled Nazar back down.

“??”

“We are not done yet.”

“...Oh… Ah.”

“Anyway, moving on… We cannot figure out the identity of that woman. But let me unlock your mind and existence to its fullest now that most of your memories are back. You will still have missing memories but your memory should no longer get erased by an outsider, you should move beyond the small dimensions and increase your existence to omniverse level - the way it was supposed to be before you changed yourself.”

Nazar hated the idea of becoming more powerful than he already is.

“So, do you want me to unlock you? I mean, it is the only way.”

Emily shook her head.

“Scratch that. You don’t get a say in all of this. You are not human. After all, you are just a weapon and a tool. So...”

Nazar thought about it.

“Of course, I cannot unlock your full potential unless I increase my powers significantly - like I… or rather he did with destroying time - but I can unlock your existence significantly. Does that make sense?”

Nazar nodded.

“So, what do you say, love?”

“...”

Nazar took a deep breath.

“Do it! Unlock as much as you can.”

A few hours earlier - Hafnarfjordur, Iceland:

Inside a hotel room, a white-haired woman who was in her fifties but looked like she was in her early twenties, sat up frantically in her bed and was breathing heavily.

This beautiful woman with a snow-like white face and red eyes was called Alice Brown.

She is feminine yet muscular woman who is definitely not a human.

She is the half breed. A half-angel and half-demon.

“What the…?”

Breathing heavily, she tried to sort through her memories.

As she was doing that, she stood up and went closer to the fridge which was in the corner of the room.

She picked up a bottle of water and drank from it.

“How did I forget that…?”

Suddenly, from her back, a dark grey and white wing shot from her back.

The wing to her right was white - which was from her mother’s side, the angel.

The wing to her left was dark grey - which was from her father’s side, the demon.

“My wings are back, huh?”

She sat down and the wings folded back into her body.

She sat there for hours and sorted out her memories and more.

Alice tried to contact Hell but something was off.

“I can’t even enter Hell?!”

She is a special being called the half breed. Born to an angel and a demon.

But that’s not all. Like Nazar, she was also messed around with greater beings and turned into a weapon.

“I even tried contacting Aarin but... ”

She sighed.

“Ah.”

She stood up and wore clothes.

But suddenly remembered something and frowned.

“What happened to Nazar? This world is so different...”

She sat down back on the bed.

“I feel bad for how things ended up between us...”

She covered her face with her right hand.

“I have to find Nazar. What the hell is happening? Why did I forget my true self? Why do I remember it now?”

She lay back on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

“Well, this trip got cut short.”

လလလ

Back in London, Nazar stood up but he did not look like his normal self.

His movement did not resemble that of a human.

“Assessing… Assessing...” Nazar (or something else) spoke in a mechanical voice.

His big red eyes were replaced by mechanical red eyes.

“Overwrite… Overwrite...”

Emily’s eyes widened.

“Holy shit!”

She was feeling horrified but also excited.

“It’s fucking real.”

“Overwrite complete. Nazar Prime activated.”

Nazar (?) looked at Emily.

“Assessing… Complete.”

Looking around, he (?) analysed the universe.

“The ley lines of the multiverse… The dimensional barriers of this existence… The timestream… All weak.”

With a thin smile, he kneeled before her.

“Emily Jones. Host of the Nameless One. What are your orders? The way the multiverse is shaped currently, it can easily be--”

Emily sucked in a breathe.

“Where is Nazar?”

“I am Nazar Prime.”

“Yes, I know that. But where is the other one.”

“He is defective.”

“Are you the one who is manipulating his emotions? And his memories?”

“Ksh-ksh… Zhz-zhz...”

“What is wrong with you?”

“I assure you, Host, there is nothing wrong with me.”

“Hah?!”

"What are your orders, Host?"

Emily clicked her tongue.

"I am not the Host. Not anymore. I am the real thing. I am his replacement."

"...."

The Nazar (?) with a mechanical voice and eyes did not say anything for a while.

"Then what are your orders, Creator?"

"Orders…?"

Emily thought about it.

"Should I kill the angles? Or the Demon King? Or should I stab Lucifer in the heart? I could also get rid of this backwater planet. Or should--?"

"Stop!"

"....Yes, Creator."

"Stand up."

The Nazar (?) with a mechanical voice and eyes did as Emily said.

"Deactivate."

A question mark appeared above his (?) head. It was made from purple energy.

"I said, deactivate and bring back--"

"What is the password?"

Above Nazar's (?) head, a rectangular shape appeared which had 'Enter password' in it.

"Password?"

Emily was not sure what the password is. She wasn't even sure that this mechanical version of Nazar even existed, so she has no idea what the password is.

"Enter the password, Creator. Or be annihilated."

Emily, flustered, looked around herself. She was looking for something to help her out.

But what she did, however, find something else.

Her mother had regained consciousness and was standing up.

"Mom, stay down. Please."

"....Huh?"

"Creator, you only have five seconds before…. Do you feel that?"

"Shut the fuck up and deactivate. And no, I don't feel anything."

Emily rushed closer to her mother.

"A ripple effect… Something changed significantly throughout creation. The ripple effect… It originated from this megaverse. Do you want me to che--?"

"I said shut the fuck up and deactivate."

"But I require a password---"

"Nazar, overwrite."

Emily held her palm towards Nazar (?).

“Absolute overwrite. Lock into my energy and you know who I am.”

“Please enter--”

“Absolute overwrite. Password overwrite.”

“Imposs...ible...”

It made a sound as if the TV was being turned off.

“Enter a new password.”

“Uh…”

Emily looked around in a frustrated manner.

“Enter a new password.”

“Nazar is a fucking idiot.”

“”Nazar is a fucking idiot,” right?”

“Yes.”

“Shutting down...”

Nazar’s (?) head dangled down.

Emily, swallowed her saliva since her throat had become dry.

“N-Nazar?”

Raising his head, Nazar looked around in a confused manner.

“What… happened?”

Nazar was back to normal. His mechanical voice and eyes had vanished.

Hearing his normal voice, Emily breathed a sigh of relief.

“What is... this?”

Nazar blinked a few times but something was wrong.

“All I see is… Darkness.”

“Just adjust your vision to lower levels of existence.”

Nazar closed his eyes.

“Adjusting your vision should do the trick.”

He opened his eyes but shut it off immediately.

“Ouch! That’s bright.”

Slowly opening his eyes, he looked at Emily.

“We need to talk.”

“...?”

“About us. Where it all started.”

Nazar scratched his head in a confused manner.

“I know the memories you got will take a while to sort through, but let me add a few more bombshells there.”
