《New Life》Chapter 140 - A Boy’s Dream (Part 4)
Advertisement
New York:
Eddie was a little confused about what happened in the Dream World.
He opened his eyes and he found himself on the ground.
The reasons he was on the ground was because when the whole thing started out, he tried to go around and save people.
Though it was the middle of the night for him, he was still awake. He was awake because he had a little resistance to being pulled into the Dream World. When he saw how he was about to be pulled in, he immediately woke up.
His girlfriend could not wake up, so he tried to take her to a hospital but then he found more and more people asleep.
He took her back to his apartment and tried to help people in other ways.
He managed to hold off a plane before it crashed.
However, the planes were then saved by Solace, who took control of it.
So, Eddie then tried to stop the cars… but they also stopped moving after a while.
He was confused about why everyone suddenly fell to the ground. And even more confused about why the planes started moving on its own and why the cars stopped moving.
So, he started to fly to London. He wanted to ask about the situation from one person who might know what is going on.
However, he fell to the ground and was pulled into the Dream World.
And now, he is awake again.
Some time ago, Nazar gave him a suit that works as an armour. It also has a teleporter… but it is not working.
So, he flew towards London at an unimaginable speed.
London:
Jake and Nazar were floating above London.
Jake managed to wake everyone up.
He seemed tired.
Nazar’s hand twitched and he was perfectly fine all of a sudden.
“I thought you said a few minutes?”
“Well… I was going to increase it a lot but I am not sure if you would be able to handle that much power.”
“So, what the hell happened? And what did you mean by ‘brother’?”
Nazar took a deep breath.
He then told him how his brother was dead and now he is alive and how is super powerful now.
While Nazar was explaining, they flew down.
“What the…?”
“Yeah, I know.”
“No offence… but your family is weird.”
“Thanks.”
They landed in front of Nazar’s home.
“Hm?”
Nazar heard a thunder a few hundred miles away.
He waved his hand and Eddie appeared next to him.
Nazar also managed to slow him down.
“Um… what?” Eddie was confused.
“Well, your flashy powers were useful this time.”
“Anyway, do you know what is going on?”
“Couldn’t you come like a few seconds earlier? I just explained it to him.”
Nazar took a deep breath and repeated himself to Eddie.
“What the what now?”
Nazar sighed.
“Your brother is that weird dude who is… was keeping the whole world basically hostage?”
Nazar nodded.
“He seemed...weird. Like there were multiple people inside one body?”
“Hm?”
Eddie then told him what happened in the Dream World.
“Sound, huh?”
Nazar opened the door and entered his house.
“Oh shit, I wonder if Jessica is okay.”
“Oh yeah, I need to go check on my parents.”
“I just checked, Jessica is fine. And so are your parents.”
“But still, I need to see her.”
Nazar gave Eddie a blank look.
“I need you here. I need to know how to hurt him.”

Nazar then sighed.
He waved his hand and Jessica appeared before them.
“Where…?” She tilted her head in confusion.
“Oh, if it isn’t my mortal enemy.”
“Good to see you too, Nazar.”
When she saw Eddie, she smiled.
“Why did you bring me here?”
“Apparently someone wanted to see you.”
“Ah, I se--Wait, where am I?”
She was standing inside Nazar’s house and had no idea where she was.
She looked around and did not notice anything.
“This is my house.”
“Holy shit, this is big.”
“Nazar? Why are you standing at the door and talking?” Emma said as she came downstairs. “Why not come in?”
“Yeah, yeah. Got it!”
“Hm? Who is that?”
“My sister.”
“Ah, the sister. Was her name Ann… Emili--”
“Emma. Come on, it is not that hard,” Emma said. “And who are you?”
“Jessica. I used to go to the same class as Nazar. And now I am dating Edd-- Norse God.”
She did not want to say his full name because she did not want to reveal his secret identity.
“I really don’t mind if you tell her my name. I have a feeling she already knows,” Eddie said.
“Ah, don’t worry. She already knows.”
“Can you not keep a secret?!”
Nazar just shrugged.
“I need to go home. See you.”
Jake flew away.
“Can I go now too?”
“No. We need to talk about what happened in that other world.”
Eddie sighed.
“Fine.”
“Are you hungry?”
“Not really.”
“Well, I am hungry. I will do something about it once I have eaten.”
Nazar started to fly.
“Follow me.”
“Okay.”
Eddie started to fly as well.
Nazar waved his hand and Jessica appeared in her home, in New York City.
“So, sound, huh?”
“Yes.”
“But are you sure?”
“Though he easily messed up with the world… I couldn’t use my thunder-based attacks.”
“If he is telling the truth, he might actually be very powerful in this ‘world’ as well. He did call himself a Cosmic Entity.”
Eddie was surprised.
“Cosmic Entities are read?!?!”
“No idea… but he said he is one of them. Apparently, they only exist since yesterday.”
“How?”
“Well… there was a big battle early on Friday.”
“Hm?”
“Long story short: Lucifer changed every angel into a fallen angel, except for one. Michael became an Archangel and stole the power from thousands of people. From a dragon, gods, gods of this universe, angels and more.”
Eddie stopped flying. He was not frozen in his place.
So, Nazar placed a field around him and he dragged him after him.
“And Michael had become an Archangel. He killed the very being who created all of us.”
Nazar should not know about this since he was in the Mind Space and he was also physically very far away from them. But when he returned yesterday, he went through everything that happened. It was then when he learned about all of this stuff.
“So, to fight that guy, I had to bring back the Nameless One. They all fought and Michael was dead. Because I had a barrier around the solar system… well, once it came down, the energy merged and went across the universe. The people who were ‘chosen’ by the energy, they became the new beings know as ‘Cosmic Entities’.”
“What the…?”
It took Eddie a few minutes to take that in.
And for someone like time, time moves very slowly. So, it will take normal humans much longer to process it.

While he was trying to process it, Nazar told him in more details.
“Seriously?”
“Yep.”
Nazar then went and bought some food for himself.
“Should you be really eating this unhealthy food?”
Nazar gave him a blank look.
“I use food as a source of energy… like every other fucking living being!”
Eddie sighed.
Nazar ate his food.
“So, do you want to go to that ‘world’ and beat the crap out of him?”
“Uh, no.”
“WHAT THE HELL?!”
“I told him to come here. So, I am waiting for him.”
“And me?”
“Well… I need you here as insurance. Just in case if he has something that can nullify my attacks against him”
Eddie was confused.
“You see, he has my brain. So, I think--”
“Brain? What do you mean?”
Nazar sighed.
He then told him what the Dreamer told Nazar. He told him how his brother survived.
As he was telling him that, Nazar and Eddie started to fly.
However, they stopped flying when they were above the city, they stopped flying and instead started to float.
The reason was simple; Nazar wanted to eat his food while looking down at the city.
“WHAT THE FUCK?”
Nazar took a bite of his chicken wing.
“No offence… but your family is weird.”
Nazar nodded.
“BUT WHAT THE FUCK? YOU HAVE NO BRAIN. YOUR BROTHER IS A COSMIC ENTITY. AND WHAT THE FUCK?!”
Nazar took another bite.
He took another bite.
Eddie stared at him.
Nazar took another bite.
Eddie gritted his teeth.
Nazar took another bite.
Eddie clenched his fist.
Nazar was about to take another bite but…
“Aaahhhh! How on earth are you so calm?!”
Nazar replied with by taking another bite.
“AND STOP EATING!!”
Nazar took another bite of his chicken wings.
Eddie calmed down a little.
And Nazar kept taking bites of his food.
And for some reasons when his chicken wings were done, a burger appeared in his hand.
“Did… Did you just steal that?”
“Ah, yes. I thought Solace was still around.”
“Hm? What happened to Solace?”
“Oh, she self-destructed.”
“What the fuck? Why are you taking these things so lightly?”
Nazar just shrugged.
Dream World:
The Dreamer was looking at a dream. His perfect dream.
It is him with the rest of his family. His extended family is here with him as well.
Since yesterday, he has secretly visited every relative of his.
Except for one.
He wanted to see his parents but he couldn’t find them. He checked everywhere. He even checked it in the dream world… but he could not find them.
Right now, in his dream, he had all of them. Even Nazar and Emma.
They were all happy. They were alive. They were smiling. And more than that, the Dreamer was smiling.
He waved his hand and all of them were now looking like their current look in the physical world.
Everyone he ever knew was surrounding him. They were all happy.
After a few hours, he got up and smiled.
He left this world.
London:
Nazar was at home and he was thinking what he shall do with his brother, the Dreamer. He was sitting in the dining room and he tried to work on building something for himself. Eddie was just sitting in the corner of the room and he was using his phone.
Laura entered the room.
“Sorry to ask… but can you send me home? I have to study and stuff.”
“Yeah, sorry my bad.”
He was about to teleport her out, but the Dreamer appeared out of thin air.
“Hello, human!”
Nazar knew that it was not his ‘brother’ in there.
“Oh, before you send her off, I need to tell her something important.”
Nazar’s eyes widened.
Nazar appeared in front of Laura.
The Dreamer stared at Laura for a second and then smiled.
“Do you want to know a secret? About your parents and brother?”
Laura froze in her place.
“You see, I wanted your parents’ talents for my Italian branch, but they rejected me. I mean, who rejects me, the ruler of the world.”
The Dreamer snorted.
“So, in order to get them on my side… I have to do something to your brother.”
“Huh?” Laura said very slowly.
“I had to infect him. Forever.”
He then looked at Nazar and narrowed his eyes.
“That is until this pathetic human came in and interfered.”
“!!”
“Anyway, I infected him and then had to give your parents information about how to help him. So, they came and started working for me. And once they did, I killed them.”
“Ah?”
“They were dead since the day they started working for me. They were the undead that attacked everyone a few months ago.”
(How would he know about this? Unless...)
“So, technically, you were right.”
Laura looked at Nazar.
“Yes, he did kill your parents.”
The Dreamer laughed.
He waved his hand and teleported her out.
Nazar immediately intercepted it and managed to teleport her to her accommodations instead of falling in a random place.
The Dreamer then waved his hand and Emma appeared next to Nazar. Their adoptive parents were there too.
“So, your real sister survived, huh?”
Emma was kind of confused.
Eddie had no idea what was going on.
“Let me tell you a secret, Emma.”
Nazar was confused as well.
(What secret would he know?)
“Did you know, the people you call parents...”
(NO!)
Nazar tried to move but the gravity beneath him increased significantly.
“... they are actually government agents, who are here to keep an eye on you.”
Emma’s eyes widened in shock.
“They wanted to keep an eye on your brother as well. Your whole life has been monitored and reported to the government.”
“Wh-what?”
“They have been keeping a close eye on all of your activities. Both of yours.”
The Dreamer laughed and Emma looked at her adoptive parents.
John (?) and Mary (?) exchanged glances.
“Is he telling the truth?”
The both nodded slowly.
Emma’s eyes welled up.
“And your ‘brothers’, ‘newphews’--”
“All of them are same as us,” John (?) said.
Emma lost strength in her legs.
She fell to the ground.
“Why?”
“Well… they thought you might be another superpowered being. So...” Mary (?) said.
“We just did not want another one running around freely,” John (?) added.
“Did… did you always know about us?”
Nazar struggled to speak but he did it anyway.
John (?) and Mary (?) nodded.
Nazar tried to break free but he couldn’t.
The Dreamer just smiled.
Mary (?) and John (?) touched their rings and immediately their heads exploded.
Nazar was still struggling with the increased gravity.
The Dreamer laughed.
Eddie flew through the wall with the Dreamer.
He could manage to take him out earlier, but he was messing with his mind earlier. The Dreamer was trying to pull him into the Dream World a little earlier.
Nazar was able to move again.
He held Emma close.
“What…?”
She could still not believe what happened.
Nazar narrowed his eyes and flew towards the Dreamer.
Emma started to cry out loud.
