Chapter 180 - Brand New Day (Part 4)
22nd of May 2000 - Earth:
“Now then, let’s go and destroy everything and then recreate it in my image.”
As Nazar’s vision started to distort, he heard a calm and a dangerous voice.
It belonged to the second being who came into existence - the Nameless One.
Nazar’s creator.
After a long battle, a few months ago-- A few years from now on, Nazar would defeat the Nameless One. And then a few months after that, he will kill him.
But he survived.
And he had destroyed everything until May 2000, starting from the very, very end of time.
He destroyed it until now because he wants to raise Nazar as his own and steal his power.
Once he does that, he will have an omnipotent being and the creator of this new existence as his pawn.
“You will finally be useful to me, my creation.”
By the way, Nazar is a child but he remembers everything that has happened in his life.
But the question remains, does the Nameless One knows that Nazar had not forgotten?
“We will destroy everything and then recreate it as we see fit.”
Of course, he knew a baby cannot talk.
It might be possible in other worlds but a human baby cannot talk.
The Nameless One was holding Nazar in his hands.
He was smiling like an idiot.
“Doesn’t that sound interesting?”
“Not really...”
A calm voice could be heard in the room.
A voice came from the baby’s mouth.
An at that moment, the Nameless One froze.
His heart started to stop for a split second.
“Why would I destroy something that I created?”
The voice changed slightly.
The Nameless One is the second being to exist and he has seen a lot of things. But perhaps this was the most surprising thing before him.
He couldn’t believe it.
The baby started to change.
During the sentence, he had grown by 19 years.
A naked Nazar was standing before his god.
“I am a creator. I shouldn’t destroy things so easily.”
Clothes started to appear around Nazar.
It was the same black clothes he has worn most of his life.
His hair started to float too.
It was because of the energy running through him.
“But you...”
His black eyes turned red.
His dark floating hair turned white.
“I will destroy over and over again. And then recreate you. And then kill you.”
The Nameless One gulped.
“How can y-yo--”
“You don’t know do you?”
A strong wind expanded outwards with Nazar at its centre.
However, since time was frozen, it had no effect on the room.
“During our last match, I went beyond. Beyond you and everyone else. I became omnipotent.”
The Nameless One’s eyes widened.
“And then accidently destroyed everything.”
Nazar's God started to tremble.
No, who is the real God here?
A human who can become omnipotent or the second oldest being in the whole of existence?
“But as a token of goodwill, I recreated everything. As it was. So, right now, you are in my existence.”
“A...h…?”
Nazar’s cold voice had stabbed into the heart of an ancient being.
In this frozen state, where nothing was moving, Nazar moved towards his God.
“You are using borrowed power from Nazars and Arosus. I can feel his energies.”
As he was moving towards the Nameless One, a smile appeared on his face.
“And since I have all of my power...”

He clenched his fist.
“I can take you out easier than ever.”
Nazar punched the Nameless One in the chest.
“What are-- What are you doing to me?!”
Nazar jumped back after the punch.
“I took all of those energies back from you.”
“How…?”
“And I am also turning you into a human.”
An invisible cube appeared around the Nameless One.
“But more than that, you won’t survive this time.”
Even if he tried to escape, the cube-like prison will hold him.
Even if he tried to send his consciousness somewhere else, it won’t work.
“This is the same barrier Aiht had used to hold Earths in the 7th dimensional plane of existence.”
Which means.
“Nothing goes out of it or into it.”
Nazar chuckled.
“Of course, unless I want it.”
Nazar held his hand towards the invisible prison and his god.
In his palm, a bright white energy ball appeared.
“This is will end you. I can guarantee it.”
(I have gotten rid of all of his powers. He is stuck. He tried to move his consciousness but I blocked it. I am also inside his mind, fighting him inside and outside. I am going to kill him this time.)
The Nameless One felt smaller and smaller.
No, he didn’t shrink.
But for some reasons, the invisible prison was expanding.
In less than a second, he felt like he was inside an empty universe.
“My power...”
There was a time when Nazar wanted to know everything about himself and his powers. But now? He doesn’t care anymore.
Inside that invisible prison, the Nameless One saw it.
A universe came into existence.
“It defies science, logic and magic.”
So, it didn’t make sense how a mere barrier turned into something that resembled a universe.
In that universe, he felt atoms come into existence.
He felt planets and more come into existence.
But he didn’t sense life.
Even though most of the universe is filled with nothing but darkness, this was nothing but light. It was filled with light.
“Black universe!”
Nazar said two words.
And then that small universe started to turn completely black.
“Arghgh!!”
The Nameless One - a man who considered himself a god - cried out in pain.
“Do you feel it?”
Nazar sounded calm.
But the Nameless One continued to cry.
They were standing face to face.
Same height in weight.
But the Nameless One felt so small.
“Everything bad that has ever happened...”
Nazar low voice still reached the Nameless One’s ears.
Even despite the pain, he heard it.
“To anyone and anything in the whole damn existence...”
Nazar’s smile became thinner and thinner.
“Do you feel their pain, agony, fear, jealousy and more? Do you feel it? Relive their worst and feel their worst?”
The Nameless One was crying out in pain.
He was feeling more fear, anger and pain than ever.
But even then…
“Hehehehehe...”
He heard Nazar’s loud and clear laugh.
It was so psychotic that he felt his body started to tremble.
“Hehehehehehe….”
The invisible prison… Can it be even called that now?
Well, that place started to act differently.
“You are going to die now… And I will see you get shredddddddddddddddddded to piiiiiieeeeeeeces. Hehehehehehehehe…… I can’t wait for it…. Hehehehehe…..”
And then…
And then...
BOOM!
The whole invisible prison (?) exploded and the being known as the Nameless One died.
Nazar saw him shred to pieces.
But he didn’t believe it.

He was still on his guard.
Nazar kept on laughing.
He wanted to make the Nameless One think that he was not letting his guard down.
But hours passed and the Nameless One didn’t show up.
Nazar used his nigh omnipresence and found the other two halves of the current Nameless One.
He didn’t find the other.
So, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Fuck!”
Nazar waved his hand and an old man appeared before him.
He was also not frozen with the rest of the world right now.
“Aarin, I need your help.”
The old man froze in his place.
But then Nazar’s finger twitched and their illusion vanished.
Behind the illusion of the old man was a beautiful blonde haired and blue eyed angel, Aarin.
Right now, she is a powerless angel.
But in the past, she was an emotion-based angel. Angel of Love.
“W-w-w-w-w-w-w--”
“Shut up!”
She stopped talking immediately.
“I will return you to your original status now. But before that, I need your help.”
“..............What?”
Nazar sighed.
“You know what, I didn’t want to do this…”
Nazar touched his own forehead.
Inside his mind, he found a memory he shared with Aarin.
From that memory, he went inside of Aarin’s mind and copied all of her memories of the last 20 years.
He then crystalised it.
While he was doing this, he walked closer to Aarin.
“Take it.”
“What is this?”
Of course, she was confused. Nazar was expecting that.
“Take this and I will explain it to you.”
“O-okay.”
As soon as she touched the cyan-coloured crystal, memories exploded inside of her mind.
She saw things she had done but not yet at the same time.
After a minute or so, she looked at Nazar.
“Ah, I see.”
She still could not believe it but at the same time, she was experienced enough to know which memories are artificial and which are real.
“And why are your hair and eye colour different?”
“Well, I wanted a change of pace.”
She sighed.
“So, what happened?”
Nazar smiled.
He was truly happy that he could talk to her.
Nazar might have hated her at first, but as time went by, he always knew that he could depend on her.
She wasn’t the brightest angel around but to Nazar, she was one of the few people who could show him the way between right and wrong.
Though he hasn’t asked for help a lot, he did feel that way.
“Well...”
He told her exactly what Emily had told him.
“Oh, that… sucks.”
“It does. The ‘future’ is dead and it will start back from this moment.”
Nazar took a deep breath.
“What should I do?”
She was caught off guard by that question.
She looked at Nazar in surprise.
“If I change the future, I won’t have to go through all those deaths and those close to me will survive. But at the same time, things will go in a different direction. And it could end up worse.”
“Or?”
“Or if I keep it the same, I will have to go through all those deaths, millions of people will die, and of course, everything will end and then I will have to recreate it again.”
“Oh...”
“And then other things will happen.”
“I see.”
She slowly scratched her chin as she thought about it.
“To be honest, these small changes can change a lot of things. So, why not change it all together?”
“...”
“Yeah, I am not so sure either…… Give me a minute.”
Aarin thought about it and thought about and thought about it.
“Oi, it has been over 10 minutes.”
Aarin frowned.
“I think you should change it. It’s better if fewer people die.”
“Oh.”
Nazar let out a sigh of relief.
“I will change it. Now, why don’t we start with the demon?”
“Eh?”
Nazar waved his hand and Aarin was returned to her old status.
She was an angel once more.
Just like that.
This is the power Nazar holds.
He doesn’t even care anymore.
He doesn’t care about the science or logic behind it.
He has given up on that front.
“I have a plan.”
“This is not going to go well...”
Aarin complained but even then, she would follow Nazar.
Though she is still unsure about the memories a little, she knows she can trust Nazar.
Nazar and Aarin exchanged looks and then nodded.
And then all of a sudden, William Brown, AKA Zerathos appeared.
“Wh---The ange---”
(Calculating...)
Before he could even say a word, Aarin had moved and snapped his neck.
He is a being of higher dimension, so if he dies here he will resurrect back in Hell.
And since he is on exile, he might even return in this dimension.
(Creating new personality/existence. Base on the angel of death. Base on the god of destruction.)
Nazar’s form changed.
A black aura appeared around him.
His white hair turned pitch black.
His whole eye turned completely black.
(Destroy and kill everything once my scythe slashes through them. Destroy them from the very existence.)
In his hand, a scythe appeared.
And he slashed the demon in half.
His form changed once more.
Aarin looked at him in surprise.
She was not sure how to react.
“He will never, ever be resurrected by any means necessary.”
“O-oh.”
“I will be back soon. But this place will remain the same.”
“...”
“And before I come back...”
Nazar thought about what he wanted her to do.
“Ah.”
He remembered it.
“Can you turn the undead into… Can you bring them back into the land of the living?”
“Huh?”
“And make them forget the demon?”
“Maybe…? But why?”
“Well… A lot of people will lose their loved ones to the demon. And a lot already has done so. So, the ones who are supposed to be alive can become alive and go back to their loved ones. And the dead ones can die forever. Give them happiness and peace.”
Aarin was not sure why Nazar would do such a thing.
“Why would I--”
“You are an angel, no?”
“Well...”
Aarin kind of felt guilty, so she lowered her gaze and looked down.
“I don’t want to use my status as the God to make you do it.”
Nazar’s sincere and nice tone had been changed with a cold one.
So, Aarin gulped.
“O-okay. Anything else?”
“I will take care of the rest. Just do the magic part.”
Nazar smiled.
It was a wide smile, which was unfitting for the current situation.
“Thank you.”
And then Nazar vanished into thin air.
“Weird… He left time frozen. I guess I should leave as it is.”
Aarin started to do what he asked her.

Non-RR tags: Overpowered Main Character - Losing power and "starting over" - Medieval world - "Adventurers" Guild Release rate: 3 chapters per week for a couple weeks (as of 02/10/2021), then 4~5 per week. Aaron hadn't had a good fight in ages. No one in the known universe could give him one, he was just too strong. So, he was going to search for it in the unknown parts of the universe. That's when a portal appeared in front of him with a message: the dimension on the other side was in danger and requested his help. However, inter-dimensional travel came with its own rules. One of them was that his overwhelming power needed to be left behind, that he must tread the path to power from the beginning all over again. Not that it would truly hinder someone like him. Excited at the prospect of having found a worthy opponent, he stepped into the portal. On the other side, he found a medieval world controlled by a mysterious system. Holographic panels appeared at a mere thought, defining each living being in numbers, determining their classes, and changing their very selves. In a world where power reigns supreme, the morale is fluid and the enemies are diverse. But they weren't prepared to deal with him. Witness Aaron's conquest of a world full of conflict, wild beasts, and magical items.

She has turned into a small kitten once more of silver colour, with green eyes that have a tint of red to them. She may sound like a normal kitten, but actually, she now has the power of magic, making her a Magical Beast in this world.

But for now, follow her as she meets this Grand Magician at a young age and grow up together, forming an unbreakable bond along the way. Author's Note: This will be a long project, just fyi. It'll take several chapter just for our little main character to meet her future partner and there will be only a few big time skips to age the characters. I intend to have a lot of this story telling the story of how our duo grow up at a steady pace, so don't expect to see our main characters out saving the world any time soon. XD
