Arc 10 - Unholy War - Part 4

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

Earth:

A world full of humans is being invaded by the undead army of a demon.

Unidentified superhumans appear across the planet to help Nazar’s clones. These superhumans use codes instead of names. They act like children, who are so excited to see the outside world in so long.

During the last hour or so, over 2 million undead showed up in populated cities. Nazar created clones of himself to send it after the undead. He also sent his robots and equipped some of the clones with weapons of mass destruction. What he found was that his attacks are useless against them.

One clone in Seoul had access to a weapon that can evaporate anything it touches. He used it on hundreds of undead at the same time and they all vanished. They never appeared again.

The Nazar on the moon is trying to analyse the data but he has found no way of how to defeat any of them.

The man with metal skin in New York, who referred to himself as 002, is now fighting undead but he is not doing any damage to them.

A woman in Beijing who can grow as tall as a 20 story building referred to herself as 116. She stomped on a bunch of undead. A few of them vanished completely while the rest just regenerated.

All of these ANTF members are attacking the undead but they cannot damage them.

Every Nazar clone around the Earth and his warsuits, that operate on their own and his robots, they are trying to evacuate the civilians from streets to buildings and rooftops. He is moving as fast as he can, but there are a lot of people who died under his watch.

The Nazar in New York came down from the rooftop after carrying a lot of people up there. He came down looking for more but for a few meters, he saw dead bodies. He was about to leave when he heard a noise about a 1KM away. He thought it was a survivor so he looked back to see more and more dead were standing up again.

The dead people were rising? New undead was being created.

The new undead attack Nazar instead of attacking civilians. This new undead is different. They don’t look human at all like the other undead. The shape of the new undead is changing. All of their limbs are becoming more and more muscular. They eyes are turning red. The size of everyone grew to 2 meters. Their voices become different. More terrifying. They cannot talk but just make noises. They are extremely slow.

He used telepathy on them but there were no thoughts and all he got was feedback. The feedback was so powerful that it made his knees weak and he collapsed to the floor.

To him, time is extremely slow. Even when he is collapsed his mind is moving too fast, unlike a normal human. He pushes his speed and allows his mind to recover. In the real time, it looked like five seconds, but to him, it felt like an hour.

It took him five seconds to repair his mind. It was still hurting when he saw that the new undead started to raise their fists.

Their fists started to glow and a hellfire came out of it. It was so powerful that a car in the side of the road got melted. The road below them melted too.

He knew that the attack won’t hurt him a lot but he needs to defend himself and get rid of them at the same time.

The fire was getting closer. Thousands of celsius were moving at the sound of speed towards him.

It was not fast enough for him. He could see the flames being emitted from his enemies. He saw the melting of a car in slow motion. He could have moved, but he decided that he needs to damage them.

He calculated the vectors of the fire attacks. He wanted to get a direct hit from all the fire attackers for his new trick to work.

He wanted to try his vector manipulation. He has this power only in fiction. He first saw it being used in a light novel then in an anime. He is not sure if it will be the same. But it is like any other manipulation powers. This power also manipulates the physics of the environment.

His plan is to create a construct that will get hit by the fire attack of his enemies. He created a telekinetic construct that cannot be seen by the human eyes, but if you had the ability to see energies around you then you will see the psychic energy that is gathered in one place.

The contract is big enough to cover all ten new undead attackers in front of him. And high enough that it is higher than a 10 story building. It is dense enough that if a car was to hit it, everyone inside the car will be dead.

He calculated the vectors of each attack.

They were getting closer.

They were getting closer.

BOOM!

A massive boom sound can be heard. When all the attacks reached its destination and hit the construct, it made an explosion-like sound.

He has three seconds to manipulate its vectors and send it back.

He has already calculated its original vectors, now all he needs to do is recalculated and send it back at the shooters.

He managed to recalculate in less than a second.

As soon as it touched the construct, the fire increased and expanded, but he then regathered it in their original shapes again and sent it towards its shooters.

The hellfire moved again with increased speed and it hit all of its targets in the chest.

Nazar, without wasting a single second, he accelerated to Mach 6 and it took him less than a fraction of second to cover 1KM.

He moved so fast that he reached there before the hellfire did. Hellfire is much hotter than normal fire and it much deadlier. He has a little information about them from Aarin’s memories. In her memories, he found out that if a hellfire touches a human in a 3rd Dimensional plane of existence, they will die instantly.

As soon as the fire attack hit their attackers, they all perished. And did not reappear again.

All it took was 10 seconds for the undead to shoot their weapons and get hit by it.

If a normal human were to see it, they will only see the attack being sent back. They will not see what Nazar had to do.

Nazar then continued to accelerate beyond Mach 50. He has never travelled this fast. Once he started to move this fast, he saw the water freeze. He saw the atoms that were in the air. He saw slow electricity move so slow in front of him that he was able to analyse each of its atoms. Birds were frozen in the air. Everything stopped. The fire was frozen. Everything looked like a picture to him.

It took him a few minutes to search the entire city and evacuate the citizens. New York is a big place and have many citizens, but he had already evacuated a huge number of them.

He could not fit all of them on the rooftops, so he evacuated them to somewhere outside the city. Far away from the undead.

The other Nazar’s across the planet, with the help of the warsuits and robots, had managed to evacuate the majority of the undead. The undead can kill anything in its way, but they don’t have the intelligence to enter the buildings or go to rooftops.

Every Nazar had to move faster than they have ever done. Even though their strength has been divided between hundreds of them, they still managed to evacuate heavily populated areas but there were also a lot of casualties.

They then proceeded to attack the undead again but it did not work.

Sahara Desert:

Aarin’s friends are waiting for Nazar. They need his help to save the Aarin. Of course, they do not know that the Earth is also in danger if Aarin loses.

They waited for him but then he never came. They used a magical item that can find anyone on Earth. They used an hour ago but it did not work because Nazar was not on Earth.

But they tried again now and they saw hundreds of him at once that the artefact broke.

One of them teleported into a populated place only to find armies of undead attacks. He went back and informed his friends.

“What do we do?” One of them asked.

They all looked at each other for answers and one of them said, “When Aarin recruited us, she told us to that our mission is to save Earth. Today is the day to complete our mission.”

They all nodded and teleported to different locations. They know that if they use angelic magick on the undead, they can die. One of them stayed behind.

They each teleported next to a Nazar clone.

Nazar felt a rift being opened and looked behind him. He was about to attack but then he saw the robes and the wand.

“Oh, the magicians.” He said this with a smile. He was relieved that the magicians came around.

“Damn it,” the magician said. “Aarin needs help in the battlefield but you cannot help her now. We need to deal with this now.”

They both stood side by side and moved forward against the undead.

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

Battlefield 5:

The angels and demons are watching the ‘game’. For them, it is nothing more than entertainment. For Zerathos it is nothing more than winning a bet.

But for Aarin, it is about saving an entire species.

As the battle is going, Aarin is only left with 10 more of her friends. Their attacks can kill any undead with just one shot, but the sheer number of the undead has overwhelmed them. They cannot fight all of them. It is a surprise that the number of the undead has reduced from 5-digit number to 4-digit number.

Aarin and her friends are struggling, but Zerathos is happy for many reasons.

He is happy that he will finally get his powers back. He is happy that he will get his revenge on Aarin. He is happy that he will have a new domain, Earth.

While everyone is enjoying the battle. While they are enjoying the fall of an entire civilization, there is one demon who is missing from the crowd.

Bur’goth.

He is not in the arena at the moment. He is in the same dimension but not in the same place as everyone else.

Bur’goth is beneath the arena in a dark place that no one knows about. He is sitting in the darkness with an artefact in front of him. With the artefact, he is able to see what’s going on Earth.

“Damn it, this new undead are useless. Mission failed!”

He was testing out his new undead, but with the help of Nazar, they proved to be useless. He designed them in a way that they all should be more powerful but they had one weakness that the others did not, this new form of undead can be killed by anyone who is powerful enough.

He leaves the dark place and goes topside to watch the rest of the game.

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

The Moon:

Nazar watches everything from his room. He looks at everything his clones and his warsuits and his robots do. He analyses each situation looking for a weakness, but cannot find any.

He is beyond frustrated. He was so angry that he threw the table in front of him across the room. The table was equipped with holographic technology that he used to analyse the situation.

He then proceeds to punch the wall next to him and it broke.

From the broken doorway, he saw his friend and family standing there.

They all looked scared because Nazar has never lost control of his emotions before.

“What the hell is going on with you?” Emily asked him in a frustrated tone.

She is his only friend. She knows him better than anyone. She knows him better than even his sister.

“Nothing,” Nazar replied in an angry tone.

Emily walked towards him. She put her hands on his cheeks. As soon as she did that, Nazar looked the other way and tried to remove her hands.

“Look at me, you idiot,” Emily told him.

He then looked at her and listened.

“What’s wrong?” She asked in a calm tone.

He hesitated to answer but he had no choice. He had thrown them to one side for too long. Can they help him?

“The whole planet is swarmed with beings who have died centuries ago or decades ago or years ago. Someone I know named them ‘undead’. They made a deal with the devil and now look at them. They are back now and they are killing their own people. I tried to use many different types of attacks on them but it did not work. Some of them vanished forever, so I tried to find their weakness, but I have not found anything.”

Emily removed her hands from his cheeks.

She took a step back.

“Will you let me help you?”

Nazar was relieved to hear that, but he was not sure how will she help.

“Okay...”

She was happy to hear that.

“Okay, so have you analysed any of them?”

“...No. I never thought about it.” Nazar replied.

Emily was annoyed at this point.

“As usual you don’t know how to think.”

He looked at her with a confused look on his face.

As she saw that, she said, “Oh well, why don’t we analyse the battle together?”

Nazar looked at the broken table and then said, “It’s broken. So, it will take a while to recreate it.”

“Wait, I have an idea. You have telepathy, right? So, why not show me the whole thing in my mind? Like they do it in comics. Or does it work differently here?”

Nazar was shocked. “Y-yeah… that could work...”

He linked his mind with her and shared the memory of the battle.

With his telepathy, he can do a lot of things. He can read minds. Remove memories. Add memories. And take someone there to a specific memory. He can do this by creating a space in his brain and then adding another consciousness there. He learned this from Aarin.

He creates a space and takes Emily’s consciousness with him. Their bodies seem lifeless but they are still alive.

When they enter the space, he can choose any memory to go through. It will look like watching a movie. You can pause it and resume it.

They go through how it happened. The memory they are analysing is of a Nazar clone in South Africa. In there, this Nazar clone moved his fist so fast that it looked like blades. He cut the undead completely and it dropped dead. The undead never stood up.

He then showed her another memory where the undead died. This time a Nazar Clone Seoul used a vaporising weapon and the undead never got back up.

He then showed her the memory from the clone in New York where he used his matter manipulation to kill them. But they did not die. He wanted to show her this to see no matter what you do to them, they cannot die.

When the undead started to rise, Emily shouted, “One second.”

As she said that the memory paused.

“Take a close look.” As she said that, Nazar zoomed in on the memory. In here each memory seems like a video.

“Look closely at how they are being reformed.”

When Nazar looked closely, all of the undead that got back up, regenerated around a small marble like energy. This marble regenerated all of them. Each of them had one of their own.

“This is like One-Punch Man all over again.”

Emily looked at him and said, “Why don’t we capture one and test this theory?”
