Arc 77 - The Nameless One (Part 4)

A few minutes ago:

Nazar vanished into thin air and the Nameless One followed him. However, Nazar just became invisible and his energy signature appeared somewhere else. It was just an illusion.

(Accessing Nazar 9.0. The Angel Slayer.)

When Lucifer saw that, he did not react.

He just sighed.

“So?”

“So?”

“He is going to come back in less than a second. And I already said that I reject your offer.”

“I know.”

A cube appeared around Lucifer.

Lucifer tried to get out but he couldn’t. However, he did not show it to Nazar. He did not show that he was struggling to get out.

“And what is this?”

“A barrier. Can you not tell?”

Nazar was mocking Lucifer, the first angel. The second most powerful being after the Supreme One. And the being who defeat the Nameless One.

Nazar entered the cube-shaped barrier as well.

Lucifer punched Nazar in the face, but he instead found his wrist broken.

“Arghhh?!?!?”

For the first time in thousands of years, Lucifer felt pain. Real pain.

He stared at his broken wrist. Cold sweat started to pour down from his face.

“Wh-what?!?!”

“Ah. The great Lucifer. Just how much did the Supreme One weaken you? Without the angels, you are useless.”

Lucifer looked at him.

“I am not going to try and prolong this. I don’t have a lot of time.”

Lucifer fell to his knees.

Nazar bent down a little.

“This barrier blocks everything. I found that connection between you and the angels and broke it. This barrier stops you from accessing their powers, magic and anything like that. And since your original power is gone, you are as strong as a human. Actually, even lower.”

Nazar punched Lucifer in the face. His who head splattered across in that cube.

Lucifer revived mere second later.

Nazar looked a little surprised but he figured what it was.

“This place has no ‘death’, does it?”

“Yes,” said the fully healed Lucifer.

He tried to get up, but when he saw Nazar face being ripped with a smile, he felt fear. Fear for the first time in thousands of years.

Lucifer gulped.

“You see, Lucifer, you will always be the second. The creation. That one friend who follows the crowd. But me? I can be a creator if I want.”

Lucifer’s eyes widened.

“I have died countless times. I wanted to die, but now, I fear death. I don’t ever want to die. And so,” Nazar said as he held up his index finger to Lucifer’s face, “I want you to taste that death. I want you to taste that fear.”

Lucifer looked at the index finger. Something appeared. It was so small, but as soon as it did, Lucifer felt like burning.

“Do you know what this is?”

Nazar sounded cold. Cold as the ice in the winter.

“This is a sun I just created. I made it small, but it is the most powerful sun ever.”

Lucifer gulped again.

Nazar used his left hand to open Lucifer’s mouth and placed the sun within his mouth.

Nazar used telekinesis to force the sun down his throat and into his body.

“Do you feel it?”

Lucifer could not even move his lips.

Nazar slowly increased the size of the sun within Lucifer. After a few seconds, Lucifer blew up into small pieces.

Lucifer appeared fully healed once more.

“You powerful people are pathetic. You have had power all your life. You have looked down on everything. You could do anything. But when you are without power, you are the most vulnerable.”

Nazar stepped on his leg and crushed it with all of his might.

Nazar started to cough blood, but he still continued speaking.

“You have never felt pain before. You have never feared anything. So, when you feel it for the first time, you want to crush your very heart in your hand. I know because I was exactly like you.”

He crushed the other leg of Lucifer.

“I had power. Did stupid shit, thinking it was just me. Wanted to hand over the Earth to anyone without even trying to save it. Did not care about anyone or anything. Wanted to die.”

Nazar chuckled.

“But when I did? I wanted to get out of there. I finally realised what was always in front of me. Realised that how much I have hurt those closest to me. How much I have hurt my very own sister. The sister who never complained about me one day.”

Nazar punched a hole through Lucifer’s chest.

Lucifer appeared less than a second later.

Nazar crouched down.

“So, help me. Bring back everything. I don’t want to play god when there is already one. You are the second most powerful being, so start acting like one. These petty ideals will not help you. Does killing everything bring you happiness?”

Streams of blood started to pour down from Nazar’s eyes.

“...”

“I don’t think the multiverse is destroyed. You could have done it billions of years ago but you didn’t. And I have a hunch that it is still standing because the Nameless One’s powers are way below you and even below a middle-class angel I know.”

Lucifer just smiled.

“I never thought I would hear this from you.”

Nazar was completely dumbfounded.

“I am not helping him.”

Lucifer stood up.

“I am waiting for the perfect moment to attack him.”

“Huh?”

“I am waiting for the real Nameless One to show up. This is half only. Once he is powered up to a certain point, he will be merged together with his other half. And then I want to kill him. This is why I want you to release more power.”

(Accessing Nazar 3.0.)

“Why would I help my mortal enemy? Yes, I want to destroy everything, but not when things have gotten this interesting. I want to see how it ends.”

Nazar slowly stood up.

“You see before I knew everything that was ever going to happen and everything that has happened. But since you came into existence, everything has gone haywire. I cannot predict the right future. The very existence is adjusting itself because of you.”

Nazar’s blood vanished.

“I did not notice it until that artificial angel told me.”

“Ah?”

“Anyway, you must provide him with enough power, so the full Nameless One can appear and then I will kill him. I will help you defeat him. If we kill one of them, it will never work. We need his other half to come out and merge with this one.”

“This is exactly what we shouldn’t do. If we do that, everything ends.”

“Look at me, child, I have been working on this plan for nearly 2,000 years. I have been working on a way to merge both of them. And I have been perfecting this plan with the Nameless One for over 1,000 years. Only it was a few weeks ago that I learned about you. I knew how you were different, but when I saw you I knew that you could be essential to my plan.”

“...”

“You need to power him up to a point where they can both merge together.”

“Where is his other half?”

“The 7th dimensional plane of existence.”

Nazar did not look surprised.

“From your reaction, I assume you know that there are more than 5th-dimensional planes of existence?”

“I just found out about the 6th dimensional plane of existence. I thought that was the last one.”

“No. There are 8-dimensional planes of existence.”

Nazar’s eyes widened.

“Damn.”

There was a little silence.

“So, why don’t just go to the 7th dimensional plane of existence--”

“Do you know why demons cannot come to Heaven?”

Nazar shook his head.

“It is because when a being from the lower levels, they just get shredded to pieces. For example, if you go to heaven, you will be shredded to pieces. You will die forever. There will be no resurrections for you.”

“I see...”

“I am a being of the 5th dimensional plane of existence. So, there is no way I can go to the 7th dimensional plane of existence.”

“So, what do 6th, 7th, and the 8th dimensional plane of existence hold?”

“If the 4th holds demons and the 5th one holds angels. So, it can only mean one thing.”

“I am not sure if I am following.”

“It is rumoured that the 6th dimension holds the Gods. They are not omnipotent but they are Gods nonetheless.”

Nazar’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Only a select few know about the dimensions above 5th.”

“I see.”

“And the 7th and 8th are empty. The Nameless One occupied the 7th dimensional plane of existence to try and recover..”

Nazar just sighed.

“I have a plan.”

Lucifer gave him a blank look.

“I… I think it is going to work.”

Lucifer sighed.

“Fine. What is it?”

“I want you to save those children for now. And return them to how they were. Come back only when the Nameless One appears. Until then, pretend that I have beaten the shit out of you and you were healing yourself.”

“So, I will let you beat the crap out of me, right? And then save the children, and return them to normal, right? And then go out of here and only return the moment he comes to his original power, right? And then I get to defeat him, right?”

“Yes. And maybe bring some angels with you.”

“You really think he going to fall for that?”

“Yes. When I said defeat you, I meant at full power. I will pretend that I defeated you at full power.”

“I...”

“He is coming back. He will be here any minute.”

Lucifer thought about it.

“And what if your plan fails? You are going to ruin my 2,000 years old plan.”

Nazar thought for a minute.

“Damn it. Let’s give it a try.”

“And if my plan is ruined, I will kill you. And your sister too.”

Nazar immediately punched him in the head. His head was blown off.

When Lucifer returned after a few seconds, he looked at Nazar, whose eyes were turned completely red. He had not changed his eye colour. His eyes were red because he was in bloodlust.

“WHAT WILL YOU DO TO A DEAD PERSON?”

“She is not dead. Nothing is dead. Your hunch was right. I didn’t destroy it and neither he did it.”

Nazar punched him again. This time Lucifer did not die. It was not because his powers had returned, but because Nazar did not kill him this time.

“If you ever mention her again, that will be the last day you ever live. I will kill you and every other angel and demon in existence.”

“You really need to take better care of your temp--bwegh!?!?”

Nazar punched him in the face.

After about 10 seconds later, Lucifer’s face was all bloodied.

Nazar picked him up by his neck.

However, Lucifer was just smiling.

“We are going with your plan.”

“...”

“So, I needed you to get angry.”

Nazar punched him again in the face.

“Anyway, I have felt fear and pain more than any other person. My Omnipresence works differently. I feel everyone’s every emotion and their pain. Even their death.”

“...”

“He is coming. So, do whatever you wanted to do me before he gets here.”

Nazar sighed.

He punched Lucifer over and over again. He kept punching him until Lucifer started dangling from Nazar’s hand.

Nazar lowered his hand while still holding Lucifer by the back of his neck.

Nazar kept the barrier around him, so he does not heal up as soon as his powers return.

When the Nameless One returned, he saw Nazar holding a beaten up Lucifer by the back of his neck. Lucifer was dangling down from Nazar’s hand.

“Huh?” The Nameless One sounded and looked surprised.

Nazar looked his god in the eyes and smiled.

“Yo, Nameless One. I am going to kick your ass.”

The Nameless One’s eyes widened.

Nazar tossed Lucifer away. He was thrown away and away and away.

Only the Nameless One and Nazar were remaining.

“How?”

“I just placed a barrier around him. A barrier that removed his powers. And I am going to do the same to you--”

Nazar was punched in the face. His brains splattered all across the groundless world.

He was revived soon.

A massive hold appeared in Nazar’s chest.

Nazar was disintegrated into nothingness.

The Nameless One cracked Nazar’s neck.

He ripped Nazar in half.

He tore out Nazar’s heart out.

All of Nazar’s organs were turned into cockroaches and it came out of Nazar’s body.

Snakes came out Nazar’s body.

A massive hole appeared in Nazar’s body.

This went on and on and on and on for a long time. Nazar lost count after 12 days. As there was no time, he calculated the equivalent time of it.

And every time before Nazar died, the Nameless One took away his power.

And after this long, Nazar stopped reviving. He did not come back, he just ‘died’. In a world where there was no death, he died.

The Nameless One waited for a few hours for Nazar to revive, which should have only taken a few seconds.

“What the hell?”

He tapped Nazar’s headless body.

“Not when I am this close.”

He picked up Nazar’s body.

“No, no, no, no, no.”

An energy ball appeared in his hand. He placed it on Nazar. However, he was not resurrected.

The resurrection did not go as planned.

“Come on. Not now. Just when I was so close. So close to getting myself enough energy to become one.”

Another energy ball appeared in the Nameless One’s palm.

“Lucifer? Lucifer, where are you?”

However, there was no answer for a while.

“Yeah…*cough* I am here.”

“Lucifer, I cannot resurrect him.”

“What do you mean? He is not supposed to die. He cannot die.”

“Where are you?”

“I am hidden in Heaven. I need to reconnect myself with the angels. I am completely powerless. I hate that human. Just how does he do it?”

“I need to… I need to do something quickly. I am so close.”

“Wait, you are not fully powered?”

“No.”

“Are you an idiot?” Lucifer raised his voice. “That was our only chance. That was our only chance at destroying everything and completing your goal.”

“I think I am at enough power to destroy--”

“Shut up, you idiot. You cost us everything.”

“...”

“At this stage, we will not be able to go against the Supreme One. That was the main plan. Destroying everything was… *sigh*... just do something about that. I will see if I can find him in any of the heavens or hells.”

The energy ball disappeared.

He started coming up with a way to resurrect Nazar in this dark world.
