Chapter 77 - Arc 10 - Final Planet - Part 8

Planet Omega:

Before the beast came out of the portal in his house, Nazar was on planet Omega in the centre of the universe.

The whole planet was made from energy.

But that was not the weirdest part of the planet. This planet doesn’t occupy the space of this dimension yet its part of it.

Its unique existence makes it hard for other people to visit this planet.

But the same restrictions don’t apply to beings from higher dimensions. Nazar being from the 8th dimensional plane of existence has no problem visiting this planet and interact with the Gods.

Inside a castle made from energy, Nazar walked through it.

Looking at the beautiful place made from many different forms of energies did not overwhelm him in any way. The illuminating colours of the planet would have overwhelmed anyone.

The planet’s energies are so unique and powerful it would have caused anyone to overload. Nazar’s extra-dimensional existence allows him not to be overloaded.

Furthermore, he can absorb all those energies and redirect it back at the planet.

“Welcome, Nazar.”

Omegan took his “human” form.

Omegan was a tall and muscular man with dark skin, very short black hair and black eyes.

“Glad to be here,” Nazar said with a smile.

It wasn’t the other emotionless Nazar.

“I assume you know what I called here for today?”

“Of course. And I am… I am sorry about yesterday.”

“You shall be forgiven.”

Omegan laughed.

“Please, take a seat.”

The castle changed.

They were now standing inside a room that looked like an office room from Earth. All of a sudden, everything had been materialised.

Nazar sat on a chair and Omegan sat on the opposite chair in front of the desk.

“So, please tell me about what happened?”

Nazar nodded.

“You know the person known as Emily, right?”

Omegan nodded.

Nazar took a deep breath as he smiled.

“Well...”

Many minutes later, Nazar finished explaining to Omegan what Emily had told him.

“Wow… That’s…”

Omegan was overwhelmed by such information.

“So, that’s where that portal lead… It leads to a planet called Eir in another multiverse. It was the final planet. Nothing there except planet Eir and a sun. Nothing else. Not even death.”

“Oh?”

"Okay, so this multiverse… or what was left of it anyway - was enclosed within a barrier. Kind of like how Earth was by Lucifer but on a much greater scale. It was powerful enough to hold in Null outside of it."

Omegan was confused by the last.

“Keep a point in mind. Null. Remind me to get back to it in a minute.”

Omegan chuckled and said, “Sure.”

"But that world was weird. Things were so different. Many years ago, I explored every inch of the planet. But guess what?"

"Hm?"

"When I did it again, it was different. It was hard to differentiate it at first glance but things were much different. Every search led to the planet is different. The oceans and mountains changed around slightly."

"And that means what exactly?"

"I don't know exactly... I couldn't find anything."

Nazar paused before continuing continued.

"When I checked their world and their sun, it was very very very young. As in younger than a century. Rina was only 25. But she said she was at least a few hundred years old. The battle between the Gods and the demons took place thousands of years ago, but when I checked for their energies, it was only as if the battle had taken place a few years ago. Then there was their memories…"

Nazar paused before continuing. He thought about the details of the memory.

"Their world dated back to thousands of years. But for some reason, physically they and their world were less than a century old."

"Must have been manipulated by someone.

"Yes. The Queen… the woman who created the portal and sent me there… I think she might have been manipulating the world. I don't know why though…"

Nazar let out a heavy sigh.

"Well, after being there for 10 years, I-- my other personality managed to kill her."

"I hear another but coming?"

"But I don't think she is dead. It was too easy."

"Hm, I see. And what is Null?"

"Ah, Null."

Nazar pointed out of the window - which did not exist mere moments ago - towards the darkness of space.

"That's darkness, right?"

Confused, Omegan nodded.

"Then there is the living darkness, right?"

He nodded again.

"Null is the living darkness."

"Oh…"

"An omnipresent and nigh-omnipotent thing."

Omegan's shoulders tensed up.

"Before there was anything, there was darkness. That darkness gained sentience and it became Null, the Living Darkness. Powerful enough to devour everything. But it doesn't do that. At least not now. But everything is destined to be eaten by it."

Nazar's proud smile didn't fit the situation at all.

He was happy that he had more knowledge for once.

"My other personality… Let's call him Nazar #2 from now on, shall we?"

"...Sure…"

"So, he controlled it and killed the Queen with it."

"And you think she isn't dead because…?

Omegan's shoulders relaxed once more.

"When she was dying, she was in pain. And angry and somewhat surprised."

Nazar paused for a short period of time while Omegan gulped in anticipation.

"But not scared at all."

Omegan was not sure what to feel about this.

There have been many people who have killed themselves or don't fear death at all. There have been many people in his life who died with a smile on their face.

So.

"She wants my power. She wants to mess around with me. Her plan is still in motion…"

Nazar smiled thinly.

"So, what do you think? Do you think someone like that would not feel fear when dying?"

"Very possible. But…"

Nazar raised his index finger and stopped him.

"I could feel her heartbeat. It was beating fast. But not because of other emotions. No. It was due to excitement."

Omegan's eyes widened.

"She is going to come back again. She is not dead."

Nazar stood up.

"And this battle will continue---!!!!"

"It's coming from your home…"

Omegan stood up too.

"You can go… Ah, I think Norse God - Eddie - picked up its trail just now. He is heading there."

"It was very very weak."

"Indeed."

Omegan sat down once more.

"You don't seem too worried."

"I have placed them under protection."

"That is good. You should have done that a long time ago."

Nazar laughed bitterly.

"I wish I had done a lot of things a long time ago."

Omegan laughed.

"We all wish we could do some things earlier."

Despite having a barrier around them, he kept an eye on their heartbeat.

After a short while, the energy vanished and Nazar let out a sigh of relief.

"You should have gone there."

"I should have… But I trust Eddie. Plus…"

Nazar looked down.

"I am trying to think of a way to tell them that I aged 10 years since yesterday."

"The other Nazar… are you sure about it?"

Nazar kept quiet as he did not have an answer.

Seeing the complex look on his face, Omegan asked s different question.

"Let's leave that aside… Why did she take you to that world and kept you there for so long?"

"I guess she wanted me to fall in love with Rina. And have a child. And then kill them all. I remember in one of the worlds… Dozens of destroyed timelines ago, she did exactly that. I never really went through those memories of mine. I left it to Solace to analyse it…"

He clenched his fist.

"If only I had noticed it earlier."

"I see. Well, I hope this proves a useful lesson for you."

"I hope so too."

Flying from the centre of the universe towards Earth, Nazar was thinking.

Suddenly, he felt a massive outburst of energy from a nearby planet.

He recognised that energy.

Quickly diverging from his path, he landed on an empty planet.

Landing near the outburst of energy, Nazar frowned.

"You guys had me scared for a second."

A dark green-skinned big burly beast was battling a human-looking person with black hair and red eyes.

Brawn was battling Reaper.

Their energy output was putting the planet at risk of blowing up.

Nazar sighed heavily as he sat far away from them.

"I guess I should keep the planet safe."

He watched as they battled.

Nazar took out his phone.

He dialled a number and called.

"Sup Eddie."

"- You got my message, right? -"

"Mm-hmm."

"- Good. But yeah, they are fine. Just the building is gone. -"

"The house?"

"- No. The lab. -"

"I see…"

"- It was a beast from another place. Pretty weak, to be honest-- What is that sound? -"

"Reaper and Brawn are fighting. Again."

"- And you are watching them? -"

Eddie sounded serious.

"- What if something had happened to your family? Are you that stupid? -"

"No. Because I trust you. Stop making yourself appear weak, dude. Plus…"

Nazar was not sure what else to say.

"I have a barrier around them. They cannot get hurt. No matter what happens."

"- Oh? -"

"When dealing with that woman… I placed it around them. They won't get harmed by anything. According to my calculations, even the collapse of the multiverse won't affect them"

"- Ah… But still! -"

"I kno--"

"- Teleport me there. -"

Nazar's hand moved and Eddie appeared next to him.

"I mean it's cool that they are protected… But what if the barrier failed them?"

Nazar smiled nervously.

"I hate to say this but I was hoping this would serve as a--"

Before he could finish, a raging thunder hit Nazar.

And so he let out a sigh.

"Why is everyone always hitting me?"

"Because you deserve it!"

"I can feel you," Brawn shouted at Nazar. "We are their boxing… What is that thing called?"

Nazar frowned.

"Punching bag."

Nazar stood up once he noticed their battle had come to an end.

"So, who won?"

"Draw… As usual," the man in the black armour known as Reaper said. "It's hard to win against him."

"Yeah, that's true."

Nazar waved his hand and a few water bottles appeared.

He threw one at Brawn and the other at Reaper.

"So, how long was the match?"

"Five hours?" Brawn shrugged as he drank the water from the bottle.

Reaper just stared at his bottle.

He doesn't need to drink or eat so he just stared at the bottle.

"What brings you here?"

Hearing Reaper's emotionless voice, he looked at him.

"Nothing. Just clearing my mind - if you will."

"You seem… somewhat sad?"

"Oh? Ah… No, it's nothing."

"I see."

Reaper did not accept his answer but did not really care.

“Either way, I have a mission soon. So, I am going now.”

“Which king are you trying to overthrow?”

“Not a king. I have been given a mission to save a planet this time, unfortunately. It pays good money. Very good.”

“When?”

“A few days from now. I will take my time with it. If I make a small mistake, it could cost millions of lives.”

“Is that so? Do need help?”

Hearing Nazar’s question, everyone looked at him blankly then laughed. Even Reaper. He let his emotions out.

“Bro, we are talking about the Reaper here, okay? And why is it that when I need help you don't give me a helping hand?!?!”

Nazar averted his gaze.

“He doesn’t need help,” Brawn said.

“I know… But millions of lives...”

“Have I ever failed?”

Nazar thought about it.

“...No.”

“But if I did need help, I will call contact you. Or Brawn. Or Eddie.”

“Well, either way...”

Nazar tapped Reaper on the shoulder and walked past him.

“Be careful out there.”

Seeing the serious expression on Nazar’s face, everyone’s body tensed up.

“All of you.”

“Nazar?”

“I don’t know, someone might attack you guys. There is someone who has been messing around with me. A woman of immense power. She wants to hurt me. So, she might come after you guys and try to “hurt” me like that. So...”

“Sure, we will be careful,” Reaper said.

“I should be fine. I am invincible, remember?”

“Huh, I think I might be in trouble,” Eddie said.

Nazar laughed.

“Don’t worry. I will keep you safe.”

“Aww, thank you,” he said blankly.

Nazar started to float.

“Let’s go, Eddie.”

Eddie also started to float.

“Please, be careful out there.”

Seeing Nazar say that with a serious face, they nodded.

Nazar and Eddie flew away.

While flying towards Earth, Eddie glanced at Nazar in a worried manner.

“So, what’s wrong all of a sudden?”

Nazar let out a long sigh.

“Do you want the long version or short version?”

“Hmm?”

Eddie thought about it.

“We have a long way to go. So, the long version please.”

“A long long time ago--”

“Shut the fuck up!”

Nazar laughed.

“Okay, here I go telling a long story…”

လလလ

Sunday 13th of June - London, UK - Earth:

The date changed mere moments ago.

Nazar left his home and appeared in a club.

In a loud and lively club, Nazar searched for one person.

He cannot sense her but he called her a few minutes ago and asked to meet her. She told him where he can find her. So, that’s why he came here.

“Where are…?”

Looking around, at one corner of the club, he saw her.

She was making out with a girl.

Nazar narrowed his eyes as he shot an energy beam towards her, hitting her in the head.

“Ouch!”

She shouted out and looked around.

Frantically, she walked towards Nazar.

“What the--”

“Hi.”

Seeing the somewhat gentle smile on his face, Emily took a step back.

“...What happened?”

“Let’s talk, shall we?”

“Hm?”

“About her.”

“Oh…?”

“I might have found out something.”

She didn’t seem to be interested.

“She is not unkillable.”

“Wh…?”

“I killed her.”

Emily’s eyes opened wide.
