Arc 92 - Godslayers (Part 3)

London, UK:

Tuesday, 10th of September 2019:

- Master! -

Solace’s voice was very loud.

- Master! -

“Ugh... what is it?”

- Big problem. -

Nazar immediately sat up.

“What?”

- There are people in powered suits that have taken a primary school hostage. -

Nazar’s eyes widened.

“Where?”

- Teleporting you there now. -

Nazar appeared inside a primary school. It was a small primary school that had about 600 students.

He turned invisible immediately.

“Solace?”

- The students have been gathered inside the gyms and the assembly. Three of them are in each location. The assembly is to your right. You just need to go for 10 meters-- -

“I can see it.”

Nazar moved slowly towards assembly.

“This should not be very hard,” Nazar said under his breath.

As soon as he was close, he did not open the door. He just phased through it.

Once he did, he thought he was going to sneak up on them. But…

“We have been waiting for you, Nazar,” one of the said.

Nazar could not see their faces.

He sighed.

He became visible again.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” Nazar asked them.

(Anti-telepathy tech? What a joke.)

“We have our demands. We will let them go once our demands are met.”

“And what are your demands?”

“Your head.”

Nazar started to laugh.

SNAP!

Nazar snapped his fingers and every single student - including the students from the gyms - flew through the roof and landed in front of the school. In front of the school were police. So, they took care of the rest.

They have been at this school for over 30 minutes.

Even though Nazar could not see their faces, he knew they were surprised.

“Now, you want my head, right?”

A clone of Nazar appeared.

He snapped his own neck and ripped it apart. He then handed it over to the mercenary.

“Here.”

Once the mercenaries took that, it vanished into thin air.

However, it was just an illusion. He did not actually rip his head apart.

One of the mercenaries shot a beam of energy towards him.

The energy beam hit Nazar and he did not feel anything.

But he was surprised.

(Interdimensional energies?)

In other words, magic.

He created two other clones and they went to the other locations.

Nazar and his clones managed to easily get rid of their power suits. He then left in front of the school for the police.

Once he left them there, he noticed something.

So, he returned and landed in front of them.

As they were basically sitting on the ground, he crouched next to them.

“How did you get access to interdimensional energies?”

The mercenaries gave him a blank look.

“Tch.”

Nazar’s eyes became blue and he started using his telepathy.

However, he found something unexpected.

“What?”

He stood up in confusion.

“Their minds are blank?”

Blank as in there is nothing there. As in they are brainwashed completely. Except for their orders. They got their orders and the power suits inside a box that was delivered to them.

While Nazar was using his telepathy, he heard many different thoughts at the same time. And one of them was from one mercenary. It made him shiver.

“A bomb?”

Yes, they had planted a bomb inside the school.

He waved his hand and the school dismantles. First, the roof started to fly off. It started to float a few hundred meters above the city.

Second, every wall started to float as well.

Third, all the doors and windows started to float with it.

Fourth, all equipment of the school started to float as well.

Fifth, everything else followed. Everything at that school started to fly high above the city.

Looking through it, he found the boom.

He took the bomb from there and placed a barrier around it. And then he blew it up after a few seconds.

He moved his hand again and the whole school was rebuilt as nothing had happened. First, the walls rebuilt, then all the equipment ended up where they were supposed to be, then the windows and doors and then finally the roof.

Everyone around him had their mouths open wide.

He then noticed the terrified students. The teachers tried to help them calm down, but they were very young, so it was normal for them to feel fear.

Nazar took a deep breath.

“Solace?”

- Yes, Master? -

“What should I do about the scared students?”

- After looking at some previous incidents, that are a little similar to this, I have found one solution. -

“Hm?”

- Their parents are the only ones that can help them. -

His eyes turned blue.

He went inside their minds and got all the necessary information he needed.

He closed his eyes for a minute and then opened it.

He waved his hand. Hundreds and hundreds of people appeared from thin air.

It took them a few minutes for each student to find their parents. And the teachers helped them as well.

Nazar then coughed blood.

(Why am I coughing blood?)

- Master? -

“I… I have not used this much power since I came back.”

First, he had to find out how they looked like. Then he had to find every single one of them. Then he had to calculate their exact location. Then calculate their current speed, weight, and height. Then he had to teleport all of them at once, without messing up their physiologies or hurting them by ending up in a wrong place or their limbs being messed up with one another.

And then suddenly he heard a voice.

“You are getting weaker and weaker, abomination.”

Nazar froze in his place.

He knew the voice immediately. It belonged to his God, the Nameless One.

Someone placed their hands on his shoulder. He immediately jumped, but he did not look back.

The person behind him whispered.

“You know, you could have been the strongest, right?”

And then he heard a laugh. It was loud yet quiet. It was mocking and sinister laugh.

“You could have been a God.”

There was no one around Nazar but he could hear them.

He was frozen. He could not move. And he could not see anything. Everything became black. And in that darkness, he saw his God smiling down on him.

He managed to go around the universe just a few hours ago because he had removed his emotions. But now that they are back, he is back to normal. And he does not have enough strength to remove his emotions.

While he was frozen, one of the police officers waved their hands before him, but he did not notice it.

Of course, it was because he could only see darkness and his God.

“Tch. What a pathetic sight to look at,” the Nameless One said.

He is not around, but Nazar can still see him and hear him.

Back in the real world, one of the officers looked at him in confusion.

“He is starting to radiate?” the police officer said slowly.

- Master? -

Once she heard Solace’s voice, she looked around and saw no one. She looked a little confused and surprised.

“What the…?”

- Master? Can you hear me? -

She looked around once more and saw no one.

Nazar started to slowly fall back.

So, Solace took her physical form. Of course, she was not wearing a maid’s uniform, but she was wearing a skin-tight superhero-like costume. It was all black with no decorations or writing or logo on it.

She appeared behind Nazar and caught him before he fell to the ground.

“Got you, Master,” she said with a smile on her face.

The police office was beyond confused now.

Both Nazar and Solace vanished into thin air.

While she was standing in confusion, another police officer approached her.

“What was that?”

“I… I have no idea. He was frozen, then he was about to fall and then she appeared out of nowhere and then vanished into thin air.”

“And was he coughing blood?”

“Yes...”

“Maybe he is becoming weaker?”

“That would be good.”

“But what if aliens attack? We all know that Norse God and the others cannot really do anything against them. Remember Venice?”

She gave him a blank look.

“If you remember correctly, the others could barely touch them.”

“So, you are saying that we could be in danger if he dies here?”

“Yes.”

“You are an idiot if you believe that.”

The other police officer just shrugged.

Inside Nazar’s spaceship, somewhere in Milky Way Galaxy:

Nazar opened his eyes.

He looked around and he was inside a room.

“Welcome back, Master,” Solace said as she floated above him.

“So, the test was successful?”

“Yes. The room seems to be holding up pretty well.”

“I see. Any problems?”

“No, nothing. It contained everything you threw at it. According to my predictions, you should have destroyed at least a solar system. So, I brought the spaceship to an uninhabited solar system to test it out.”

“Thanks, Solace.”

Solace was about to go back to her N-Sphere form but then Nazar said something.

“You should stay in this form. The other N-Spheres can stay in that form. It will be useful if I have one in this form.”

“Okay, Master.”

Nazar left the room.

“How long was I out for?”

“10 minutes.”

“10 minutes?!”

(This never happened before, right?)

Nazar held his head in his hands.

“Anything else happened since I was out?”

“Yes. The same thing but at a different school.”

Nazar’s eyes opened wide.

“What?”

“It is a coordinated attack.”

(Accessing Nazar 3.0.)

“Damn it,” Nazar muttered.

(Should've done this earlier.)

Nazar then vanished into thin air and so did Solace.

He appeared inside a high school this time.

He was going to do the same as he did last time but…

“If you are thinking of doing the same as last time, then you are mistaken,” one of the mercenaries said as soon as Nazar appeared inside one of the gyms.

He looked around and saw so many terrified students and teachers.

“We are planning on blowing up all of them at the same time. Can you really save them all?”

Nazar took a deep breath.

(Accessing Nazar 8.0. The Demon Slayer.)

As soon as he accessed Nazar 8.9, 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.

Unlike his Angel Slayer or God Slayer form, this form does not use all of his energies at the same time. So, he has a few minutes before becoming ‘useless’.

As the mercenaries saw that, Nazar could ‘see’ their fear. He could ‘taste’ their fear.

(Enter light speed.)

As soon as thought that, he managed to cover every single school that was taken in by mercenaries in less than a second. He also took care of the mercenaries by removing their power suits, the bomb, took the students and teachers outside and brought their parents to them. All in less than a second.

Now, you might think that moving a normal human At light speed or faster will kill them. Well, it didn't. Because he might act like an idiot sometimes, but he is not a complete moron.

One he got to every parent or the students, he placed a barrier around them to protect them. They will not be turned into tomato juice if they are moved at the speed of light or even faster.

He was now standing in front of another school.

He coughed blood. Blood started to come out of his eyes and ears too.

(Accessing Nazar 3.0.)

His form changed once more.

This time he did not pay attention to his God and the darkness. He just looked beyond that and looked straight at the mercenaries.

Solace was standing next to him.

He went closer to the mercenary.

“Brainwashed too?”

His eyes lit up with blue energy.

“No problem.”

He placed his hand on one of them. He placed his hand on their head.

“Restore.”

(Absolute Restoration is a useful power.)

As soon as he said that, the mercenary’s mind was flooded with memories.

“Wh-What…?” The mercenary said slowly.

He then read their memories.

(Federal government agent. They meet with someone. Taken to a facility. Brainwashed there. Then received a box, with the mission brief. Disappointing. It is not leading me anywhere.)

He let go of the mercenary and talked to Solace.

“Hack their tech. See if you can find anything.”

“Okay, Master.”

After a minute or so, Solace reported back.

“I can’t find anything related to the culprit. It has an AI, but it seems like it was made for this mission.”

Nazar frowned when he heard that.

Nazar was about to fly, but he saw a few reporters before him.

“Can you answer some questions for us?”

Nazar gulped.

Just a few miles away from here at Bradley Conglomerates HQ:

Ishaya was sitting in the same place. However, he was alone.

He now had two screens before him. One of them was displaying a news report from a TV channel and the other was displaying the data from the power suits.

He was replaying the scene where Nazar uses his Demon Slayer form.

Once he saw that his eyes widened with fear and surprise.

“What the…?”

He replayed the scene over and over again.

In the scene he sees Nazar’s eyes colour changes from black to red. And his hair changes colour less than a second. Ishaya saw a light show.

And then… and then everything ends. The power suits vanish. All across the city.

He replays the scene again but its speed is reduced to a point where you should be able to see a supersonic aircraft moving slower than a turtle. However, he could not see anything. It still ends immediately.

He then replays the part where Nazar takes over his form. And this time, he analyses the energies around him.

He could not understand most of them.

“From analysing some of the superhumans, I can tell that one of them is a psychic energy. But what are the other ones? I know that the green one is the energy he uses to ‘heal’ others but what is that red one? And the white one?”

He was talking to himself.

“And none of them are interdimensional energies. So, he does not use ‘magic’? I thought he had some connections to it.”

He then replayed some scenes of Nazar fighting in Venice, Italy.

He plays his fight against Brawn.

“He is not releasing any energy? So, he is just relying on the brute force?”

He then plays another part of the battle. The part where he fights against Norse God.

After watching it a few times in slow motion, he spoke.

“He can manipulate the weather too?”

He sat back and many screens appeared before him. He watched every battle Nazar has done in the past. Of course, he only saw the ones that have been recorded.

“Maybe… maybe I thought wrong. Maybe I cannot do anything against you.”

The thing is, all of these videos were classified. So, it is his first time watching these and analysing it.

“But how did you die thousands of times?”

More screens appeared before him. It was showing his fight against the undead.

“What is your secret?”

He then started watching the video of when Nazar was taken in by Zerathos’ lackeys last year. Ishaya’s father had close relations to the demon, but he was not one of the undead. So, he had access to many different classified files of the demon.

While he was watching what Nazar and that old man, he clicked on one of the folders. It had Nazar’s name written on it. And it was very well secured. He had to first type in a password, then use a fingerprint scanner, then iris scanner, and then a voice password.

Once he opened the folder, it was full of information on Nazar. Everything Zerathos ever had on him since the day Nazar was born.

Ishaya sat back and relaxed a little.

He started reading it.

After a minute, he sighed.

“I can barely understand any of them. What are all these… terms?”

Ishaya might be rich and good-looking, but he is not very smart.

He hit a button on his desk and his assistant came into the room.

“Get me the science team. I need their help.”

The assistant nodded and left the room.
