Arc 19 - Perfect World

As soon as Nazar teleported out of the facility, he found himself high above the clouds.

He was right now above London and it was sunny, but there were a lot of clouds in the sky.

With a swipe of his fingers, the clouds vanished completely. It did not only vanish above London, but it vanished all across the planet. The whole world had a clear sky.

Nazar closed his eyes for a second. As soon as he opened it, it was lit with yellow energy.

(Locating… Locating...)

He looked around the world from above. He looked them down and kept searching.

(Found… 100… 200...) He gasped. (1000… 2000...)

Thousands of superhumans appeared around the world. According to the boss of Internal Order, the pills which can give normal humans superpowers were given to terrorist organisations.

Nazar found them by reading the DNA of each person on the face of the planet. He read the DNA of every person and anyone whose DNA has been altered, he registered them as superhumans.

The changes in the DNA include increased particles of unknown energy that a normal human should not have.

“Thousands of them…” Nazar muttered. “Damn it!”

The numbers kept increasing.

Nazar just kept floating above the planet and looking down upon the blue planet.

He was about to look away when he noticed something. Something that he thought he would never see.

He gasped. There are very few things that can actually make him surprised these days. He might act surprised but he is never surprised. Today was the first time he was truly surprised… and scared.

The world-changing right before his eyes.

The world that was in despair yesterday was gone, but it was replaced by something even worse. A new reality.

RIght now, Nazar sensed something like that. He saw a light moving from one location and covering the entire surface of the planet.

After the light covered the planet, things changed. Wind vectors were different. UV rays were different. Cosmic rays were different. Yesterday, it was summer in most countries and in some countries it was winter.

However, all around the world right now, it is spring. A perfect balance of hot and cold. A perfect balance of hot sunlight and cold breeze.

The heatwave of the summer and the coldness of the winter were gone. Snow was gone. The fallen leaves were gone. Every tree has blossoms now. The blue planet now turned into something colourful. Something… beautiful.

Yet, here someone who saw the whole change was not happy about this. He found it rather… ugly.

If it was not for Nazar’s extraordinary speed, he might have missed it as well, because it took less than a second to change the world. He saw the world change. It is a change that is not necessary.

A few seconds ago in the headquarters of Internal Order, the main boss ordered Aria AKA 010 to unleash the second phase of project Perfect World.

“It is time for project Perfect World to move further.” Her boss said.

Just as he said that 010 closed her eyes for a few seconds. She opened her eyelids but it was replaced by blue energy. Her power was activated. Her power is Reality Warping.

Reality Warping. Also known as reality manipulation is a power that allows the user to manipulate the reality at their will. They can make things real that are not ‘real’. With this power, the laws of the physics are rewritten by the user.

However, this powers, like many have limitations. If the user is a powerful reality warper, they can make changes that will rewrite the very laws of physics and create things that defy logic. Sometimes the power is limited to the user’s imagination.

She might not be a powerful reality warper as a middle class angel, but she can manipulate the reality on a planet scale.

“You have finished creating the reality, have you not?” The big man said. “Did you make it according to the plan?”

He asked the question but 010 did not answer his question. So, the boss took that as a ‘yes’.

As her eyes lit blue, she held her hands high and wide in the sky. While her hands were up, an energy ball was created between her hands.

The energy ball was pretty small at first, but it got increased. It increased to the point where it looked like she was holding it in her hand.

As the energy ball was created, she brought down her hands and the energy ball came down with her. The energy ball stayed within her palms until the end.

Once she brought it down, she looked at it for a little while.

She looked at it for a few seconds and then continued to slam it on the floor.

As she slammed it on the floor, the whole room, building, underground city, the whole world got covered in the same energy for a fraction of a second.

What is different in this new world?

Back above the world, Nazar watched as the blue energy covered the earth and made everything ‘beautiful’.

Nazar flew down towards London.

While he was flying down, he noticed many things. Many things that were just wrong to exist.

He moved down extremely fast and landed in the middle of the city. He landed in a populated area. Unlike other times where he would land furiously, this time he slowed down and then slowly floated down, until he landed.

He was in the middle of the city. He was in the middle of the populated area. He was expecting everyone to run away from him. Afterall, he is a living breathing monster, who would kill without a second thought.

People started to gather around him. Nazar started to get wary of his surroundings. He thought if they attack, then he should restrain himself.

However, instead of attacking him pointlessly, they started taking his picture and asking for an autograph?

(What...?)

“Oh. It’s Nazar.”

(Yes, it is me.)

“Man, he is so cool.”

(Huh? What?)

“They say he is basically a God.”

(Who on Earth even says that?)

“I wonder why you don’t have a superhero name, yet.”

(Because I am not a superhero?)

“He is pretty good looking too.”

(Where the hell did this come from? Are you sure you are not blind? Go check your eyes.)

“He is so awesome.”

(What are you talking about?)

“I want an autograph.” This one came from a kid who was standing next to him. He looked up at Nazar and his eyes were sparkling.

(Huh? Didn’t think kids these days idolised a murderer.)

“I want to be like him.”

(It’s literal hell. Not kidding.)

Of course, he did not say these out loud.

(I need to know what the hell is going on.)

He looked around and he was surrounded by so many people. Why would the Internal Order create a reality or even allow a reality in which Nazar is considered a hero? Don’t they want to get rid of him because he is the villain?

Nazar looked around over and over again. People were unusually happy.

Everyone who surrounded him found themselves confused when Nazar vanished into thin air.

Nazar wanted to teleport to a place where very few people know about and even fewer who visit. He wanted to teleport into the HQ of IO but instead, he found himself in water.

He found himself at the bottom of the ocean. He was now drowning in water.

(Water speed… underwater species… wind speed… watercolour… atoms… air particles… water particles... all indicated that this is the Indian Ocean.) Nazar realised something that made him chuckle. (So, this is how it works.)

He teleported out of there and wanted to get to his destination, IO’s HQ.

However, he found himself in women’s changing room in a gym.

As soon as he appeared out of thin air, he looked around and saw sights that would have made anyone go wild but he did not see the same sight as mere mortals. He did not see the naked figures of women but instead, he saw atoms.

However, it did not mean that the women who were changing there were not embarrassed. They were embarrassed to a point where some of them shouted when they saw him.

“Wh-why is here?”

(I don’t know.)

Nazar is just standing there. He is looking around to find out the cause of the misplaced rifts, but the women there are misunderstanding his situation. They all started muttering.

“Why are his eyes… blue?”

(It’s energy. I am looking at particles around the place where rift was opened.)

“He is a pervert.”

(I AM NOT.)

“He is kind of… hot.”

(Shut up, you blind idiot.)

Of course, he would not say this out loud. Just like that, he got ready to teleport again.

(Damn it.) Nazar thought. (The air particles should be different when a rift is opened. Also, there are some extra particles?)

He teleported out. Where did he find himself again?

This time, he found himself in a beach. And as usual, he is surrounded by idiots who are muttering to themselves or those close to them. Most of them are very excited around him for some reason.

“Is that really him?”

(Yes, it is me, Nazar.)

“I wonder if he has a girlfriend.”

(Where the hell did that come from? Anyway, shouldn’t these idiots be running away from me?)

“I love him.”

(Disgusting.)

“What is he doing?”

(Searching for unknown particles, you idiot.)

“He was so cool when he saved the plane.”

(Wh-what? I-I saved a plane? I wonder when did this happen?)

He heard a lot of familiar sentences from these weird people such as, “OMG, he is so cool” or “I wish I was him”.

Nazar sighed and teleported out again.

Where did he go now?

In London, he reappeared in a cafe.

“” Mikasa, Emily’s mother said. “”

Nazar looked up and saw a familiar face.

He looked around and saw the cafe was full of people. People were drinking and they were happy.

(Is this the only cafe in London?)

“,” Nazar asked Mikasa, who standing next to the table he was using.

She tilted her head in puzzlement and said, “”

Nazar was not expecting that. Nazar was confused but he realised something.

(So, the memories of the people are also different?) Nazar thought. (So, the only thing that has been affected are the populated areas?)

So far, her reality warping has just manipulated the populated areas. She has manipulated the world around the places where there are people. If there are no people, then that place is left alone. Just like oceans and mountains.

"”

“” Mikasa answered immediately.

“”

Mikasa smiled and said, “”

“”

Now, Nazar was more surprised that when the whole world around him changed.

(What kind of messed up world did you create, Aria?) He looked like he was about to cry.

He teleported out again. Where did he end up this time?

Nazar appeared out of thin air. He was not high above the clouds. Earlier today, he removed the clouds but some of them are back already.

(Got it.) Nazar smiled.

“So, this is how you achieved it, huh?” He muttered to himself.

He looked around and followed the trail of the unidentified particles. The particles can be found in every location where Nazar has teleported to before.

He went to every location using his speed and flight. In every location, he found that the particles are concentrated in a thin line that reaches very high. He followed through with it and found the source to be a satellite.

He then proceeded to fly higher towards a satellite.

After teleporting a few times, he registered all type of particles in the rift and outside it. He found a few extra particles that should not be there when rifts are opened.

He flew toward the satellite and broke it apart with a single punch.

(Disrupting interdimensional travel? Good try, I will give you that.)

To teleport using technology or portals, you can only warp space-time by travelling to another dimension first. Therefore, the technology placed in the satellites preventing interdimensional travel. However, due to Nazar’s power levels, he can teleport but it is unpredictable.

He then proceeded to recreate it without the unnecessary technology.

Now, he could teleport to the enemy base without any interference.

He vanished into thin air. He was happy when leaving. He was going to stop the IO from making it worse.

However, he got to the right location, but the building was not there.

Nazar found himself surrounded by mud and rocks and lava.

(So, they moved their HQ away from the centre of Earth?)

The HQ of IO was located miles under the Mount Fuji in Japan. It was not located at the centre of the Earth but it was very close to it.

(Damn it.)

He teleported out again. This time, he aimed for his foster family’s home in London.

He teleported into his room. However, it was different. None of his comics or manga was there. The room looked like it was not used by anyone in months.

(What the hell?)

He walked out of the room, expecting other changed, but everything else looked the same.

(You have got to be kidding me.)

Once he was in the hallway, he opened the door right next to his old room and in the room he found nothing. The room belonged to Emma and it looked like it was used recently due to all the different kind of particles and smell from makeup and creams and perfumes.

He closed the room and walked downstairs. In the living room, he found Emma, who was sitting down watching TV.

When Nazar entered, she looked back and was surprised to see him there.

“What are you doing here?”

As she said that, she got up and hugged him. Nazar hugged her back.

“Nothing,” replied Nazar.

“You look rather confused.”

“I know its a weird question to ask, but where is my comics and manga that were in my room?”

Emma tilted her head and said, “You never read those stuff.”

“What?”

(You truly created a monstrous world, Aria.)

Nazar was very confused. He knew that the reality was different, but why is his life so upside-down?

“When was the last time I was here?” Nazar asked.

Emma chuckled and said, “Why are you asking weird questions?” She paused. “Anyway, you came here this weekend.”

Nazar scratched his right cheek and said, “What happened three days ago?”

“What are you…?”

Before Emma could finish her question, she heard her phone ringing.

She took out her phone and looked at it. The number displayed belonged to her mother.

“It’s mom,” she said this in a delighted tone. She then answered the phone and said, “Hello?”

“I am coming. I will be there in 20 mins,” Emma said. Nazar did not bother hearing what her mother was saying.

He just vanished into thin air.

“What the…?” Emma muttered. “Oh, it’s nothing.”

Nazar teleported somewhere else. He teleported to New York City, which was the city with the most damage.

He looked around and everything was fine. None of the building were on fire, like yesterday. None of the buildings or cars were destroyed. The city was not in chaos. Businesses were open and people were having fun.

One thing looked weird, however. The weirdest thing was that everyone was happy and energetic. No one was sad. No one was tired. It was not normal.

He just floated above New York for a few minutes and then teleported back.

In an unknown location, the boss of IO was with 010. They were still in his office. However, it was different. This time, the main HQ was not beneath the ground, but it was now in New York. The layout of the office was the same but the building looked much different from the outside.

“I don’t understand, 010...”

Before he could finish his sentence, Aria AKA 010 spoke.

“I might not have lived with my cousin but I know him much better than most of my family members do.” She paused. “Nazar hates being in the crowds. He hates being in the spotlight. He hates being loved. He hates seeing everyone happy. He hates being in a relationship. He hates being the hero. He hates being seen as someone ‘cool’ or ‘good looking.’” She paused again. “Nah, just kidding. Some of them I just came up with, but I think it might apply to him.”

“And how do you know this?”

010 chuckled and said, “In the last year, I did nothing but collect information about him.” She paused. “Today’s world is his worst nightmare. And this is just the beginning.”

010 just placed a grin on her face and watched from the front row seat. Her boss is watching too, but is 010 really loyal to her boss?

Millions of light years away:

On the other side of the universe, a woman sits in a spaceship. The spaceship is so big that it can cover the majority of Russia if it were to ever land on Earth.

The spaceship is very old and rusty. The colours on the outside are gone and the metal has rusted. There is a logo on the one side of it. The logo looks like a star. There is writing on it, but it cannot be seen properly and it is an alien language.

The inside of the ship is not much different. There are many levels and places in this spaceship. There are many dead bodies in the spaceship. You can smell their corpse as soon as you enter the spaceship.

The woman is sitting in the seat of the captain, but it is still too early to say whether she is the captain of this spaceship or not.

She was sitting in a place that bored the hell out of her. She was sitting in boredom, when suddenly the computer on the ship lit up.

Her eyes sparkled and started to run towards the computer.

Once she reached the computer, her excited and sparkling eyes were changed with eyes of fear.

“” She spoke in an unknown language.

She slammed her fists into the computer.

“” She muttered. “”

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

Vanaha Empire:

In the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy, an old man leaves the temple for the first time in thousands of years. It is very dark in the temple. There are no windows for light to come in, but there is a door, that looked like it had not been used for a long time.

He opens the door. The light rays hit him so hard, that he had close his eyes for a few minutes to get used to the light. Even though it was nighttime.

The old man was wearing old robes that looked like it will fall to the ground any second. Even though, he still walked out and started to walk towards the city in front of him.

The city in front of him have tall buildings. Fresh air. Flying cars. And so much more. It feels like it is something out of a fiction.

The city is so full of people. It is so full of energy. It is an advanced and powerful civilisation that rule over thousands of other planets.

The old man walks towards the city. As soon as he walked about 10 meters, he was teleported into a massive building in the middle of the city.

The building was floating in the air. It was about 30 meters higher than the ground and there was nothing that supported it.

The building is about 10 KM tall.

The old man appears before a being who seems to the ruler of them. He gives off an aura that feels like he is a divine being.

He was sitting on a throne. The throne was very big and it was taller than the divine being, who is easily over 3 M tall. The man was wearing a dress that was so bright, you could not look at it. His face was very bright too. That was why the majority of the people did not look at him at all.

Next, to his throne, a man was standing. He was very tall and muscular. He was wearing a white dress that covered his whole body. Even though they are an advanced civilisation, they still have many traditional values within their society that they follow closely.

As with the King’s bodyguard and other people in the room, they all look similar. They have green skin and green eyes. They have long necks and no hair on their body. They are much taller and bigger than humans.

As soon as the old man appears before him, he bows down.

“,” said the person who was standing next to the divine being. He spoke in a language that is unknown to us.

The priest was bowing down and said, “” He paused. “”

The king, who was not shown any expression earlier, was surprised. He gasped.

“”

Everyone in the room were surprised to see him talk.

“” He paused. “”

“” The king sounded angry.

“I am sorry my lord, but a month ago, someone used it on a much smaller scale. Also, a few hours ago they used it, too.”

“Why am I finding about this now?”

The priest was about to cry and he was prepared for his death. But even then, he had to explain himself. “I-I am sorry, my lord. I did not think it was a big deal.”

“Earth, huh? This makes it the fourth time, now.” The king muttered. At that moment, he realised something. “Priest, wasn’t Earth covered by a barrier?”

The priest thought for a minute. “Ah, yes. However, the barrier broke down four days ago.”

The kind smiled. However, no one could really see him because of the bright light he gave off. “We need to do something about it.” The kind paused. “Contact the Galactic Council. They must know.”
