Arc 42 - Death Comes To All

London:

Emily is dead. Nazar cannot resurrect her. He was able to resurrect his cousin and another superhuman, but he cannot resurrect her. She is gone. Forever.

001 and his parents were in her bedroom. They could not move due to the shock but even then, the crumbling house did not stop. It was going to take them down any second. And maybe even kill all of them.

001, who was away for years finally reunited with his sister and family, but she is gone now. Just after a few days when everything was going perfectly well. And the one responsible for this is definitely Nazar.

The house around them was crumbling down because Nazar snapped earlier and it started to disintegrate atom by atom. He then later sped through the roof, making the house even more unstable.

“She… is gone?” 001 muttered slowly.

He could not believe what in front of him.

He could not focus on the ones around him.

He looked back and his parents were knocked out by the flying debris just a second ago.

He could not collect himself in time. He has never protected so many people with his telekinesis. It is true, he has the potential to do so, but he is not sure if he can do it.

He felt his vision flickering as well. It was not due to the flying debris or anything, he just could not believe what has happened. For the first time today, he saw dead bodies. And one of them was his sister’s.

The building started to crumble. The roof fell and they were about to be crushed.

001 tried to put up a telekinetic shield, but he could not focus.

And at that moment, a miracle happened.

Dozens of superhumans from Internal Order showed up. One of them was a speedster, so they evacuated everyone in the house. They also evacuated everyone in the surrounding houses, too. The did that because they wanted to prevent any worse case scenarios that might affect the surrounding houses.

“001?” 054 said as he slapped his face slowly. He wanted to know if he was alright.

001 could not respond. His eyes looked like it was about to shut any second.

“Na...zar...” 001 said that slowly.

“What?”

064 asked, but there was no answer because 001 was now unconscious too.

Somewhere in the Middle East:

Nazar left Emily’s dead body in her house. He flew fast around the world, tracking every single person with power.

All the superhuman under Internal Order are on the moon, so he would not mistake them for the newer ones.

He gathered all of them in a desert somewhere in the Middle East.

The superhumans from Crimson Sword were confused. They had no idea what was going. A few of them, however, knew what was going on but they kept themselves hidden.

Nazar also brought the speedster from another dimension.

“Who did it?” Nazar said in a voice that was both laughing like a maniac and crying like a child.

Most of the people in front of him did not say a word. They were confused about what he was talking about. However, a few of them knew what was going on.

“If you don’t answer me, I will kill you.”

Nazar held his index finger under his thumb.

“...??”

He did not get an answer.

CRACK!!

He cracked his index finger and shot towards the superhumans in front of him.

He was laughing and crying at the same time. His only friend in life has been killed. And he knows that he is responsible for her death in a way.

Nazar, in less than a second, was able to mow down everyone in here.

He stopped on top of the dead bodies. The desert was now flowing with rivers of blood.

He had cut them all down into pieces. He had cut them down like they were vegetables that were supposed to be used for salad, but it was just tomatoes.

“Too easy,” Nazar muttered.

He waved his hand and the dead stood up. They were alive again and they were confused but Nazar was angry. His smile was gone.

“Why?” Nazar muttered over and over again with trembling lips. “Why is it not working on her?”

He then looked at them and asked again.

“Who killed her?”

No one answered again.

He shot like a rocket again.

The superhumans did not have any time to expect anything.

Nazar did not kill all of them. Instead, he was going to take his time with each one.

He picked up a random superhuman and broke every bone in his body in less than a second.

“Who killed her?”

The person in front of Nazar was too busy crying in pain to ever answer. And Nazar just placed his right hand on the man’s head. He placed a little pressure on it and the head popped like it was a balloon.

He then moved again. Without wasting a single second, he picked up the speedster who tried to run away from Nazar in the desert.

“Why did you attack my home?” Nazar sounded angry.

The speedster was moving faster than the speed of sound and Nazar caught up to him in an instant.

“...!!”

He was too surprised to even answer Nazar’s question,

But… Nazar did not care.

He gathered the energy in his right hand. He created an energy construct. It looked like a sword.

Without a second thought, Nazar cut the speedster’s legs. He cut his legs just above the knees and the speedster was no longer able to move anymore.

He then stabbed the energy sword in the speedster’s chest.

When it comes to superhuman powers in this world, super speed, super strength, and flight are the most common form of powers. So, to Nazar, these guys were nothing but small fries.

He then rushed back to the horde of new superhumans. He grabbed a random one.

Her main ability was flight.

Nazar held her by her head and asked her a simple question.

“Have you ever flown in space before?”

As soon as Nazar said that in a voice that was trembling and laughing at the same time again, he threw her off.

She found herself in space. And before she knew it, she suffocated.

Nazar then used his telekinesis and brought her back down.

However, he left her to come down by herself. As soon as she touched the ground, all of her organs were shattered into small pieces. She looked like mince right now.

“WHO KILLED HER?” Nazar shouted as he killed everyone in front of him.

In an instant, he had thrown hundreds of them into space and were brought down all over again.

When he reached the other speedster, Nazar finally slowed down.

He held the speedster and instead of using his physical strength, he used his telepathy.

Inside the mind of the speedster, who was responsible for hurting 001 and his parents, Nazar found something interesting. Someone who was helping this speedster and who came up with the plan.

Nazar could easily kill him in the physical world, but he was going to play with his mind for a little while.

Nazar searched through this man’s memories and found the worst of the worst.

As a child, he was being bullied a lot. Physically and verbally. To make his childhood even worse, he was raped by someone who was very close to him. And it did not stop there, he was raped many times. He abused by everyone around him.

And Nazar smiled. He did not laugh like a maniac, He smiled.

He made the speedster watch his memories all over again and manipulated his emotions to the point where he could no longer move. He was trembling in his mind.

Nazar used that opportunity and increased the mental pain even more. He increased it to the point where his mind just exploded. He died due to the emotional and mental pain. However, he was not really dead. It was just his body would no longer move and his mind no longer worked.

The man in front of him was lifeless, so Nazar just stabbed his fist through his chest.

Nazar saw the man’s memories and found who was responsible.

Instead of going after the mastermind behind Emily’s death, Nazar killed everyone.

He threw them into the ocean. He threw them into space. He buried them under the ground alive. He made them suffocate in nothing. He broke them apart, piece by piece like they were some kind of food to be eaten.

He mowed down every single one, except one. The one person who was responsible for the death of his friend.

She looked she was in her early 20s. She had short blue hair. She had black eyes. She had tattoos all over her body. And she had a lot of piercing.

“Tell me, why?” Nazar said as he appeared in front of her.

“...”

The woman before him could not answer. She was too scared to even move her lips.

“I see your power is to kill anyone with your touch. If you touch them, in less than a second, all their organs stop functioning completely.” Nazar told her with trembling lips.

The woman was too scared to even say a single word or even make a sound.

“You touched her with your right hand. You placed your hand on her face and she was gone. She was gone forever.” Nazar said as he slammed his foot on the ground and it started to tremble.

The ground beneath him started to shake to the point where the woman before him could not stand properly.

“I will wait. If you tell me everything, I will let you live.”

He stood in front of her for minutes. He looked like he was about to cry, but he held it in.

Nazar did not have emotions for most of his life, so feelings are a little alien to him. He is confused about it.

“...”

The woman was still shaking.

Nazar could get the information he needs from her mind, but he wants to hear it.

“I will give you 30 seconds. If you don’t tell me everything, I will kill you immediately.”

The woman collected herself a little.

“W-we were told to keep you busy. So, I made a plan. I asked a few of them to help me and they did. I asked one of them to go to your house and just scare you by threatening.”

“So, why was Emily killed?”

Tears were coming down from Nazar’s eyes. They were running down uncontrollably.

“I thought if we killed someone close to other superhumans, you might just be a little busy.”

Nazar forced a laugh.

Nazar grabbed her by her arm, which surprised her.

“Can you survive in the vacuum of space for 1 second?”

Before she could answer, Nazar flew towards space.

He flew faster than the speed of light. He flew hundreds of times faster than the speed of light. The sound was none existent in this state.

Nazar flew through the coldness and darkness of space.

In about a second, he arrived at his destination. The sun.

However, the person who was supposed to be with him was not there. She had been turned into a paste. Only a small piece of her clothes was remaining.

Nazar floated a few thousand miles away from the sun.

He thought about his friend. He thought about what they had been through. Their friendship flashed before his eyes.

He remembered their first meeting in high school:

Nazar was sitting down alone in a corner of the school and Emily approached him.

“I remember you from primary school,” Emily said.

Nazar replied with “Damn it!”

He remembered their first visit to the comic book shop:

Nazar and Emily walked into a comic book shop. It was a very small comic book shop with limited titles.

“Wow,” Nazar could not stop smiling as he looked around. “This place is so cool. Don’t you think?”

“I… am not sure...” Emily said slowly.

He remembered the first Emily asked her to go to a comic book shop with her:

It was the last Friday before the end of the school year. Nazar was walking towards the bus stop with Emily.

“Hey, Nazar,” Emily said as she jumped in front of him, which made Nazar stop moving. “Do you want to go to a comic book shop tomorrow?”

Nazar was surprised to hear that.

“Yes?” Nazar slowly replied. Until now, she was not really interested.

The next day in the morning, she appeared in her mom’s car.

Nazar was a little confused, but he thought that they might be driving there instead of taking the bus. So, he got in the car.

After a few hours of driving in the car, they arrived at their destination. And it was not a comic book shop.

“What the hell?” Nazar muttered as he looked around. He was at the beach now.

“You never leave the house, so I wanted to show you this amazing view,” Emily said as she stood beside him and looked towards the blue ocean.

He remembered all the stuff they did together. Walk from school. Get the bus. Buy stuff. Eat stuff.

He was now on Earth once again. He was standing on top of the dead bodies once more. And he could not stop his tears.

He always distanced himself from her, but after she is gone, he finally found out just how much she meant to him.

“Arghhh” Nazar shouted towards the sky as stood up above the dead meat.

At that moment, Emma showed up. She teleported in. She showed up a little away from Nazar and shouted his name.

“NAZAR!” Emma said as she stood away from the river of blood.

Next to her was Aria, Nazar’s cousin.

A few minutes ago:

Emma and Aria were confused about what just happened.

“What the hell is going on?” Emma muttered.

“I have no idea.”

At that moment, the TV turned on by itself.

It showed a human kind of body that was made of numbers. It had no face or other body parts. It just looked like numbers came together and formed a human-like shape.

- Emma, Nazar need you. -

Solace spoke on the TV.

“What…?”

She did not look confused because she has heard the name before when Nazar ‘showed’ her everything that happened.

- Emily Jones is dead. -

“What…?”

Emily could not believe what she was hearing.

It is true that Nazar and Emily were friends for a long time, but during that time, Emma got to know Emily too and they became friends over time. In fact, their relationship developed so much that they were like sisters.

Her eyes immediately started to tear up.

- It must be hard, but Nazar has gone berserk. And I think you can help him calm down. -

Emma’s shoulders dropped and her body lost strength.

“Emma!” Aria shouted as she went closer to her.

- Please. He needs your help. -

After a few minutes, Emma finally found enough strength to stand up. She wiped her eyes, but it did not make much of a difference.

As soon as she stood up, Solace teleported both Emma and Aria to where Nazar was.

Now:

“NAZAR!” Emma shouted at the top of her lungs.

Nazar heard her and he looked around. He looked confused.

(How…?)

“NAZAR!”

She shouted again and this time, she walked towards him.

As she started to walk, Nazar dropped to his knees. He lost the strength to stand up. His shoulders dropped too. He lost all the strength to lift his legs or his hands.

It took Emma some time to get to Nazar when there were dead bodies lying all around.

Once she got to Nazar, she hugged him while standing up.

Nazar’s face and body had the blood of others on it, so it turned her white dress into a red one.

Nazar said something with trembling voice.

“Why does… all the bad things happen because of me?”

He wanted to cry, but he did not. He forced his emotions down and Emma knew what he was doing because she was doing the same thing too. She was forcing down her emotions to help her brother.

“Shh… let it all out.” She said with a trembling voice.

Nazar then stopped holding down his emotions. He let them out and cried.

Aria watched from a little away.

Emma held Nazar tight as Nazar cried out. They were in the middle of a field that was painted red with blood.

After a little while, out of nowhere, Nazar was thrown a few meters away.

Emma noticed that Nazar was no longer being held in her hands.

As Emma and Aria looked around to see what happened, they saw someone. They were confused.

Someone wearing all black. Someone with black hair and black eyes. He was tall and he looked familiar. It was another Nazar?

He had kicked Nazar in his sides.

“What have you done, you selfish bastard?” The other Nazar shouted.

Nazar slowly got up. He did not have enough strength to get up, but he forced himself anyway.

Before he could get up, the other Nazar had kicked him in the stomach and he was thrown a few meters away.

The other Nazar looked around and all three of them were confused now.

“Who… are you?” Emma said slowly.

“My name is Nazar and I am from Universe-11.”

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

Outside the multiverse:

Lucifer, the first angel, and the first fallen angel. He is considered to be the most powerful of angels and fallen angels. He is also considered the second most powerful being in existence after the supreme being, who created everything.

Right now, he is outside the multiverse and he watching everything that is happening here.

He watched Nazar closely. Of course, he cannot see Nazar using his high levels of powers, but he can ‘see’ him via other means. For example, right now, he is seeing Nazar through Universe-11 Nazar’s eyes. And earlier he was doing it from other superhumans and Emma.

As Lucifer saw Universe-11 Nazar meet Universe Prime Nazar, a smile ripped his face in half.

“This is getting interesting,” Lucifer said.

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

Edge of Andromeda Galaxy:

At the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy, two of the biggest empires clash.

For thousands of years, Duluria Empire and Vanaha Empire and a few other empires, they waged war on one another. However, 30,000 years ago when Lucifer created a cosmic abomination named Earth, these empires came together to keep Earth safe so Lucifer does not destroy everything.

For thousands of years, they kept their alliance as good as possible. Creating weapons for one another. Sharing secrets. Sharing knowledge. And so much more. Even when they were together in everything, they knew that one day they will revert back to their old ways. So, they prepared plans against one and another and waited patiently for that day to come.

That day is today. The day the cosmos will enter a new age. The day the false alliance will end completely.

It is true that these empires fought each other a lot in the past, but some of them came together and created an intergalactic peacekeeping force known as Supreme Regiment. So, when the empires entered into an alliance, the Supreme Regiment was the main peacekeeping force that worked very closely with all military personnel across the alliance. They shared secrets and so much more together.

However, about one thousand years ago, when the Supreme Regiment failed against the criminals on a prison planet, which later became Jabalot Empire, they were slowly pushed back. In 2019, they had only one person left from an entire organisation, but that person no longer exists either. The Supreme Regiment was ended completely by Professor Death.

Right now, the Duluria Empire and Vanaha Empire stand face-to-face against one another.

And the war between the two empires started with a bang.

Duluria Empire shot one of the battleships that belonged to Vanaha Empire.

They didn't even notice what they shot. Before they knew it, a battleship that was using both technorganic tech and technomagic tech to protect itself was blown into pieces.

“” Kiet muttered in surprise.

While everyone else were confused and surprised, Iket just smiled.

“”

Iket’s Divine Power allows him to have nigh-omnipresence. It is not as powerful as Aarin’s or another middle-class angel, but it is not as weak as low-class angels. So, he could monitor his enemies without them knowing.

This also means that he has created countermeasures for them.

The weapons the Duluria Empire just used was made of antimatter. It was specifically designed to blow away anything that was made of positive matter. However, it did not blow up as soon as it came into contact with the nothingness of space because there was a small shield around it and it prevented the bomb from blowing up.

Duluria Empire might be known for their military might, but it does not mean that their science is behind. They were able to easily give powers to normal humans in matter of days, which was something scientists from Earth could not do in decades.

“”

Iket was just outside planet Xiem, but he was ordering his troops across the galaxy. He was ordering them from his own battleship.

As soon as Iket said that, one of the battleships launched a few pods. The pods were completely invisible, so Duluria Empire could not see them.

As soon as the pods made contact with battleships, it did not blow up. Instead, the weapons developed the battleship in dark matter. Once it was developed in the dark matter, the battleships were reduced to small pieces. It had crushed a few battleships within a few seconds.

“”

Kiet was watching as both empires threw their fleet away just so they can get revenge on one another. Maybe the rulers wanted to fight one another, but did the soldiers wanted to die for nothing?

While the two empires clashed in the darkness of the space, they were unaware of something else that was happening down on their planets.

The remaining members of Death 100 had infiltrated a planet in Duluria Empire.

“” Hurricane said.

“”

The answer Professor Death gave was simple, but some people did not understand.

“”

As Professor Death, the current leader of Death 100, said that everyone just jumped around randomly.

Meltdown, Darkness, Bloodlust and Professor Death stayed behind.

“” Darkness asked while she was making a magic circle.

“” Bloodlust said.

“” Darkness said that slowly.

There was a little silence. Darkness finished creating her magic circle.

Meltdown was analysing the energies around him.

And Bloodlust had finished hacking into this planet’s network.

“”

“”

Professor Death looked like he was joking and the other laughed, but Meltdown did not laugh.

“” Meltdown paused. “”

“” Professor Death took a long pause. “”

As he said that, they all nodded.

The other members left to cause ruckus less than a minute ago, but fires and destruction can be seen for miles.

“”

“”

And just like that, Meltdown turned intangible and headed for the core of the planet.

“”

Darkness just nodded at that.

“”

As he said that, Darkness’ magic circle increased and became as big as the planet.

Professor Death then looked at Bloodlust.

“”

“”

“”

Professor Death used most of the Death 100 to aimlessly attack everything in their way. Darkness’s spell is turning off the positive emotions of everyone on the planet. Their negative emotions has been maxed out. So, everyone around the whole planet will feel nothing but hostility towards others.

And Meltdown, he is going to suck the energies of the entire planet.

While Death 100 were causing chaos on a random planet in Duluria Empire, most of their fleet was present at the war. So, most of their planets were unprotected.

Kiet watched in horror the people in front of him die. He has only been alive for about 20,000 years, so he has not seen the real bloodshed between the empires.

“”

“”

“”

“”

Kiet did not answer, he just teleported out.

“”

Kiet was now standing on one of planet’s Xiem’s moon.

He took out his communicator and contacted Reaper.

“”

As soon as he said that, Reaper appeared out of thin air.

“”

As Kiet suggested that, Reaper did not hesitate, and he teleported out. If his son is in Duluria Empire, then he will die. If his son is in Vanaha Empire, then he will survive. But he is not sure where he is, so he will do everything to stop the war.

And Kiet? He just does not want any more bloodshed. He has only known the peaceful side of the alliance, so he did not want the old one to return. He has friends from other empires, so he does not want them to die. He also does not want the innocents to die.

The Reaper appeared in the middle of the battlefield. As soon as he did, his eyes lit with light blue energy.

He held out his arms. As soon as he did, cannons of energy balls were shot towards the fleet of Vanaha Empire. As soon as the energy balls touched the ships, they disintegrated into nothingness.

This was a feat that not even Nazar could accomplish. It took Nazar a few minutes to destroy one ship completely, but it took Reaper a few seconds to destroy multiple ships, that are much more advanced than what Nazar had fought against.

However, they were recreated mere seconds later. None of the soldiers died and the ship was fine… but the weapons on the ships were destroyed. This gave Duluria Empire to not be massacred.

As soon as Reaper did that, he teleported out. No one saw who it was and no one really cared.

He appeared next to Kiet and said, “”

“” Kiet replied.

They then monitored the situation from a small computer which was in Kiet’s hand.

“”

Reaper just nodded.

Iket saw the whole thing. For the first time since the war started, his smile vanished. He was confused now and tension ran through his body.

“”

A general in the battleship said to himself.

Whatever it was, it had taken out a few battleships like it was nothing. Even though they were created again, it still caused a lot of problems for the Vanaha Empire.

“” Iket shouted.

“” A general spoke. “”

Iket’s red eyes widened with surprise.

(I focused my nigh-omnipresence on Duluria Empire and did not see this one coming.) Iket thought. (But even so, they don’t have anything that could do this.)

Iket thought about who might be involved.

He changed the focus of his nigh-omnipresence from one place to another. He changed it to Earth and saw a blank. He felt a little relieved that Nazar was still on that planet.

He then monitored other planets and found nothing. What he did not do was monitor his own planets.

The planet in Duluria Empire was now under the chaos of its own people. The remaining Death 100 people watched from shadows.

Bloodlust left a few devices completely untouched, so the higher ups of Duluria Empire could see what was going on.

“”

Bloodlust reported.

The devices she had left untouched, it sent data to the capital automatically.

“” Professor Death said.

“” Darkness said in an annoyed tone.

Professor Death looked at Bloodlust and a communication transmission was launched.

“”

Meltdown nodded.

He then closed his eyes and touched the core of the planet. In less than a minute, he sucked the whole planet dry. There was no energy left on it. There was nothing here now. They had no heat or cosmic rays. They had no sunlight or anything like that.

And to make things even worse for the residents of the planet, Meltdown started unleashing his energies.

As the remaining Death 100 saw that, they teleported out and appeared in a spaceship in the same solar system as this planet.

In the core of the planet, Meltdown unleashed his energies. Once he did that, the whole planet was overloaded with energies, which lead to its destruction. In less than 5 minutes, the planet blew up and then Meltdown absorbed all the energies.

After a little while, he went inside the spaceship and looked outside. The entire planet was nothing but rubble in dark space.

Duluria Empire:

The king of Duluria Empire sat in his throne room. He monitored the situation. He did not get directly involved like Iket, instead he allowed his generals to take direct control.

Just now, he received a message from a small planet in his empire.

It was a video that showed the Death 100 terrorising his people.

After a while, it showed his people out of control and killing one another.

“” the king slowly muttered.

He then looked through the rest of the message which shown that all the data from that planet has been stolen.

The planet is a small planet, but they make majority of the weapons for the empire.

“”

He thought about it but he didn't find any answers.

“”

He said that to his general.

“” the king said slowly.

As his general left, he realised that his fleet in main war are reduced and the person responsible is Iket and he has no chance of winning now.

Chochica Empire:

“”

Luan, the High Priestess of Chochica Empire spoke. She is the most powerful magician the empire has to offer.

She is right now in a massive room with many other powerful magicians from the empire.

“” Lian said.

“” Luan asked as she looked around the room.

All the magicians were sitting around a round table. The room was so big that it was easily over 1 KM. But even then, Luan managed to look at each one.

Anyone who is in favor has their hand up while the ones who are against has their hands down on the table.

Only about 10% of the magicians voted that they should get involved.

Luan did not like that decision. These people are the most powerful people when they work together. They can put an end to this war, but their empire value the vote of the majority. And it can also keep her people safe.

“” Luan forced herself to say that.

She is one of the few people who does not want the galaxy to go to war. Lian agreed with her views.

Outox Empire:

Outox Empire is not as big or as powerful as either Vanaha Empire or Duluria Empire, but they have one thing that the others did not. Knowledge.

It is true that Vanaha Empire has the best technology, but Outox Empire’s speciality is not technology. Their knowledge comes from all places. Technology, magic, history, architecture, the universe itself and what is outside of it, and so much more.

The queen of the Outox Empire, Wep was holding a meeting with her advisors in her throne room. Her throne room was very high-tech. It had robots and everything was AI controlled. Right now, it looked like a big white room but other times it looks different.

She was also broadcasting the whole meeting to her people across the cosmos and they were given a chance to vote in this decision too.

“” She asked everyone in the throne room.

Outox empire is a small empire. The people look a lot like elfs from fantasy fictions. They now have many other scholars from other planets living here as citizens of Outox Empire, but the original people resemble the elfs.

Wep has a white skin like a chalk. She has white hair too. And her son, Weq looks a lot like her.

After a few minutes, the results were shown on the screen in front of her.

The answer was ‘No’.

99% had voted 'No’.

“”

The war between the two empires continued. Both of them thought that all empires in the alliance wanted to kill one another, but it was just Vanaha and Duluria that wanted to death and destruction. The others liked the peace, even if it was fake.
