Arc 67 - Earth-3

Nazar and Laura appeared on the moon of Earth-3. Unlike the previous world, this was not the new hell. Instead, the planet was under invasion by an alien race.

“What the fuck...?” Laura said slowly.

“Yeah. I had the same thought.”

“So, what are you going to do?”

“I guess we will first have to figure out what happened.”

“Hey, Nazar?”

“Yes?”

“Will leave this world as it is or will you save it?”

“Depends.”

“...?”

“If my other self is here, then I will leave it to him. If not, then I will probably do something about it.”

“I see...”

“Solace?”

- Yes, Master? -

“Find him?”

- Okay, Master. -

After a few minutes, Solace finally finished her search.

- I can’t find him. -

Nazar did not seem surprised by that. He thought this version of Nazar would be another planet or something.

“Emily?”

After a few minutes, Solace spoke.

- Found her. -

“Teleport us there.”

- Okay, Master. -

Both Nazar and Laura appeared in Emily (of Earth-3)’s house.

As soon as they appeared, Nazar looked around knew where he was. He looked around but no one was in the living room.

“Solace, where are they?”

- Right here, Master. -

Mikasa Jones entered the room when she heard unfamiliar voices.

As soon as she noticed Nazar, she froze in her place.

“N-Nazar?”

“No, not really. I am him from another universe.”

She looked at him in confusion.

At that moment, Emily (of Earth-3) walked down the stairs.

“Mom, what is--”

She trailed off when she saw Nazar.

“Nazar? You… you are alive.”

She ran and hugged him.

“But you… you died.”

“I am not from this universe. I am from another.”

When Emily (of Earth-3) heard that, she stopped hugging and moved away a little.

“S-sorry.”

“Nah, it’s okay.”

“So, what happened here?”

“A lot...”

Earth-3:

Like Earth-2, Nazar got his powers soon after he was born. He was visited by the Nameless One. And with a touch, he was activated.

His story goes a lot like the Nazar from Earth Prime. He was saved by Alice. His memories were removed, but they returned after one year. Unlike Nazar from Earth Prime, this version of Nazar chose to accept the others as his own family and lived with them. Even when he got his powers, he did not leave them.

Furthermore, he did not kill all those scientists, instead, he left them alive. But he did destroy all the facilities and rescued all the people that were taken instead of him.

Since then, he became a hero to the world. He saved people. He fought against injustice. He was an actual hero. He also helped make the lives of those around him better. He used his intelligence to cure many diseases.

In June 2019, the undead of Zerathos attacked Earth. Nazar and other superhumans managed to get rid of all the undead. Nazar was then sent to another dimension with the help of magicians.

Once he went to the other dimension, he saves Aarin. He and Aarin managed to kill Zerathos. Aarin’s powers returned to her. However, at that moment something else happened.

“So, we managed to win, huh?” Nazar said as he smiled.

“Yeah. We saved Earth,” Aarin said.

“I had lost all hope.”

“Me too. If it wasn’t for you, Earth would have been turned into a hell.”

“Thank god, that did not happen.”

“Aarin, we will return your power to you at once. Do you want Zerathos’ power, too?” Anaiel said.

“No. Just mine,” Aarin replied immediately.

When Anaiel was returning Aarin her lost power, a demon shot towards Nazar at full speed.

Nazar quickly managed to evade the attack.

When the demon attacked, the ceremony which was supposed to return Aarin’s power to her was paused.

“Nazar?” Aarin shouted.

“I will be fine.”

The demon breathed fire towards Nazar.

Nazar managed to block it with a telekinetic shield.

However, the demon did not stop there. He used that attack as a diversion.

While Nazar was blocking the attack, another demon had attacked Nazar from his back.

When Nazar turned around to stop the attacker from behind, a sword went through his back. He saw the point of the sword before feeling the pain.

Blood started to drip from his mouth and he immediately fell to the ground.

“NAZAR?!”

Before Aarin could react, Nazar was dead.

Anaiel stopped Aarin.

“He is dead. And you cannot fight a demon. It is against the rules.”

Anaiel forcefully took Aarin back to Heaven.

Aarin returned to the battlefield a few days later and took Nazar’s body to Earth.

Aarin could not bring him back from the dead. And unlike Nazar from Earth Prime, this version of Nazar was weaker and he could die. And also, he did not create Internal Order to kill him. It was created by Eort of Duluria Empire.

Aarin brought his dead body back to Earth. As she did, she left for the heavens.

Since Nazar no longer existed, Eort moved with his plan. Within a week, his superhumans were scattered across the globe. After a month, massive spaceships arrived at Earth. They took over the Earth in less than a week.

Even though they took control of the entire planet, they did not make humans their slaves. They just added another planet to their collection.

As a reward, Eort was turned into the ruler of Earth.

However, other empires in the universe did not like this decision of Duluria Empire. The empires of the universe went to war against Duluria Empire.

For some reasons, Duluria Empire stood above all other empires. They took down empires like Vanaha, Chochica, Outox and other empires like they were nothing.

So, Duluria Empire, not only took over Earth but other empires too. However, everyone in this empire is treated equally.

Now:

“Um... so, you guys have no problem with being part of this empire?” Nazar asked.

“Well… not really. I mean, in one month they managed to take humanity much farther than… ever. Humans all of a sudden have a good relationship with other alien worlds. Something we never thought we would have. And not just that, the technology on Earth has become way advanced for us. Medical treatments have been much better since then, too.” Emily (of Earth-3) explained.

“Aren't humans taking the existence of aliens, demons and angels pretty lightly? They did the same in our universe.”

“It all started with a man flying above clouds and moving faster than a speeding bullet.”

“I just thought about something.”

“What is it?”

“I am completely opposite of Superman but my story in a way is similar to Superman.”

“Maybe you are different, but he was a lot like the Superman of this world.”

Nazar then tapped his palm twice and a small screen appeared.

“Emily, can you do me a favour?”

“Hm? What is it?”

“I need your body.”

Emily (of Earth-3) looked at him in surprise and gave him a disgusted expression.

“That came out wrong,” Laura said.

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, my bad. I need to analyse you. There might be an energy signature that can only be found inside you. Of course, if you don’t want, that’s perfectly fine.”

“Nah, it’s fine. You can analyse me. Just don’t do anything weird.”

Nazar sighed.

“I have a bad record, don’t I?” Nazar took a small pause. “Solace?”

- Beginning analysis. -

After a few minutes of silence, Solace finished analysing Emily (of Earth-3).

- There is an energy signature that I have not been able to see in any other human or alien. -

“That is more than enough. Thanks, Emily.”

“You’re welcome? What do you need this for?”

“Let me tell you something about you.”

Nazar then told Emily (of Earth-3) about how and why she exists.

“So, you are going to use that energy signature to find that being? But why?”

“I need answers. Answers that no one can give me. And to rescue her brother.” Nazar paused before continuing. “And he killed Emily from my universe. I need to get revenge.”

“I am…dead in your universe?”

“Yes.”

“This… this is kind of hard to get my head wrapped around it.”

“So, in this world, are Emma and the others alive?”

“Yes. They are perfectly fine.”

“Don’t tell them about me, okay?”

“Okay.”

Nazar and Laura prepared to teleport out but stopped.

“Wait, Solace checks something for me.”

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

- What, Master? -

“Analyse the world. See if there is any form of demonic energy around the world.”

- Okay, Master. -

“What are you talking about?” Emily (of Earth-3) sounded confused.

“In my universe, the big empires were manipulated by a demon to go to war against one another. And when you said that they fought against bigger empires and won, I thought maybe a demon or someone as powerful is involved.”

“Seriously?”

- You were right, Master. -

“Hm?”

- There is a demonic presence in this world. -

“Damn it,” Nazar muttered. “I will need to take care of that bastard.”

“Wait, wait, wait. What is going on?” Emily (of Earth-3) looked confused.

“The reason Duluria Empire has been so powerful recently is that it is being backed by a demon.”

“So, what are you going to do?” Laura asked.

“It’s a demon, so I cannot leave him be. I need to do something about him.”

“Okay.”

“Solace, teleport that demon to the moon.”

- Okay, Master. -

“Moon?” Emily (of Earth-3) sounded surprised.

“Yeah… he can breathe in space?” Laura sounded confused.

“I don’t need to, but I have a barrier around me that provides me with oxygen to breathe.”

- Done, Master. -

Nazar smiled.

“Bye, Emily. Even though you are not the same one… it was still good to see you.”

“Same,” Emily (of Earth-3) said.

Emily (of Earth-3) and Nazar then hugged.

After that, both Nazar and Laura vanished into thin air.

The moon:

Nazar and Laura appeared on the moon. When he appeared on the moon, there was another person there. More specifically a demon, dressed like a person.

“Wh-what?! I killed you,” Bur’goth said.

A smile ripped Nazar’s face in half.

“You? Kill me? Hahaha… you are quite funny.”

“I-I don’t care. I am a middle-class demon.”

The human ‘face’ of Bur’goth vanished and it was replaced by his demon face. His shape changed as well.

The demon shot towards Nazar at full speed.

Nazar’s smile vanished immediately. It was not because the demon shot towards him like a rocket, but because another demon, who was invisible earlier, showed up behind Nazar.

Nazar immediately threw away Laura, to keep her out of danger, but the energy blade went through his chest.

“I killed you once more, mortal,” Bur’goth said.

Nazar’s eyes closed.

The other demon removed his blade from Nazar’s chest.

Nazar fell to the ground.

They both stood above him.

“What a weakling,” the other demon said.

Bur’goth then looked at Laura.

“And you human? What can you do?”

The demons walked slowly towards the not-so-frightened Laura.

“I doubt she can do anything,” the other demon said.

Laura smiled.

“Hm?”

“Look behind you,” Laura said.

As both the demons looked behind them, they saw Nazar standing up.

“Wh-what?”

“N-not even middle-class demons can resurrect this quickly.”

“Well, I just killed a middle-class demon, less than an hour ago,” Nazar said.

An energy sword appeared in Nazar’s hand.

He shot towards the demons as fast as he could.

The demons immediately blocked his attack with their blades.

One demon cut off Nazar’s arm but regrew immediately.

Nazar increased the distance between the demons.

He then a few lights appeared around Nazar. It then shot towards the demons.

(Accessing Nazar 8.0.) Nazar thought.

As soon as he did, his eyes turned from black to red. His hair stood up with energy and it changed colour as well. It turned from black to red. Then from red to blue. Then from blue to green. Then from green to blonde. It kept changing the colours very fast. The interval between each change was less than second.

Nazar also started to radiate little energy.

(Enter light speed.)

He moved faster than the speed of light. In less than a second, he had chopped both of the demons into small pieces.

“There is blood on your whole body,” Laura said as she made a light disgusted expression.

Nazar smiled.

He appeared before Laura.

He swung his fist toward her.

“Aaaiiiieee!?” Laura shrieked in fear and she raised her hands to her face.

However, the fist stopped right before it reached Laura.

Instead of a hole appeared in Laura’s body, Nazar just flicked her nose.

“...?”

Nazar laughed.

“Did you really think I was going to hit you?”

“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!”

“Everything?”

“JUST WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?”

After a minute or so, Laura calmed down from the fear and shock.

“Hey, I am sorry, okay?”

“Just.. just clean the blood off your face.”

“Okay,” Nazar said as all the blood vanished from his face and clothes.

“So, are they dead?”

“Yes. For now.”

"What if they come back?"

"They will be turned into humans and will not have their powers."

Laura nodded.

“So, why would the demon target Earth?”

“I guess he wanted Lucifer to return to Earth and destroy everything.”

Laura raised her eyebrows.

- Master, you might want to go back to Earth. It seems the people were under the demon’s control. You might… want to clear some stuff. -

“What?”

- They seem a little different. Like they have just realised something. -

“This is going to be--”

- I don’t mean the humans. I mean the invaders. -

“Huh?”

- Just go there and talk to them. -

“Okay.”

“Nazar, you are not going to let the invaders stay, are you?”

“People don’t mind them, so I guess we should let them be. Plus, it is not my place.”

Nazar thought for a second.

“Solace, can you check if people really want them out of here?”

“And how is she going to do that?”

After a few minutes, Solace reported.

- Technological records suggest that they are okay with it. -

Nazar’s eyes lit up with blue energies.

After a minute, he smiled.

“I just checked their mind. I just checked for anything related to the Duluria Empire. They don’t want them to go away.”

“I see...”

Both Nazar and Laura vanished into thin air and appeared at Duluria Empire’s throne room.

As soon as Hoel saw Nazar, his eyes widened in surprise. He has received reports of Nazar’s death.

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

Hoel’s eyes widened his eyes in shock and fear.

Then Nazar chuckled.

“”

“”

“”

“”

Nazar left with Laura.

They appeared in the middle of nowhere.

“That was a lot. So much happened today.”

“Agreed.”

“Solace, take us to the next universe.”

- Okay, Master. -

A portal opened.

Nazar and Laura walked through the portal.

- Welcome to Earth-4. -

Nazar and Laura appeared on the moon of Earth-4.

“This… this looks normal,” Nazar said.

“Yeah… it’s kind of weird.”
