Chapter 652 TRUE GODS!!!
The origin and history of the Multiverse is a secret long lost to the books, and almost nobody on the present times has any knowledge of it.
Only ancient beings who managed to live until this age, and extremely powerful creatures know the story of the Multiverse and how it came to be.
Their numbers can be counted within hundreds, which is an extremely small number compared to the near-limitless amount of creatures living the Multiverse’s present age.
This alone makes the knowledge of the Multiverse’s history to be of high value. But the fact that nobody in the know has decided to spread this knowledge has made it even more valuable, much more compared to ancient artifacts.
With these limitations, somebody like Alex and Alina should have no idea about this knowledge too.
But due to Alex’s status as the Abyss Envoy, he was able to obtain all the knowledge about the history of the Multiverse, something that he shared with his companions.
Because of this aid, Alex and his allies knew how the Multiverse came to be, and they knew everything that happened on its early stages.
They know all the conflicts that happened in the past, and they also knew all the catastrophes that happened before. They had an inkling on the legends and myths that spanned the Multiverse’s long life, and they also knew the creatures that they should avoid in the future.
"....."
This knowledge also managed to provide Alex and his companions a look on how the power systems in the Multiverse came to be, and how they were able to blossom in the present age.
"...."
But out of all the valuable information in the history of the Multiverse, there was one particular subject that Alex and his companions became highlty interested in.
And that subject was about the existence of True Gods.
***************
When the Multiverse was first created/born, it did not have all the materials and laws that it had today.
The early Multiverse was only made up of pockets of volatile matter and energy, and the laws all over it were chaotic and distorted. There is no order in this time, and the only constant thing here is destruction and change.
This period of time was called the Chaotic Era, as the conditions of the Multiverse here can only be described as pure chaos. Nothing seem to stay still here, and any signs of life did not show any indication of appearing here.
The Chaotic Era lasted for countless of years, and it only ended once the Multiverse has been affected by entropy, making it cold enough to have its chaos settle down.
This period was the start of the Primordial Era, and it was in this Era that life has begun to blossom.
In this Era, all the volatile objects started to lose their destructive tendencies, and most began to combine and restructure to create newer objects. The chaotic energy also mellowed down, as they now began to follow certain patterns on how they should work.
As for the Laws themselves, they were still as unruly as they were before, but they became much more manageable at this point.
These factors allowed for the formation of elements and compounds, which latter formed mixtures, chemicals, and other materials that eventually led to the formation of life.
Nobody knows how ’life’ really started in the Multiverse, but once ’life’ has appeared, it began to grow in an explosive fashion, and in just a matter of years, the whole Multiverse was filled with countless living creatures.
It was at this time that the Abyss Realm was slowly being born, but that will be a topic for the other day.
Because of the still-hostile conditions of the Multiverse in the Primordial Era, life is hard for all the living creatures here. Every part of their life is fraught with danger, and the chance to survive depends only on luck.
These conditions were just made worse by the fact that the Power Systems still had not existed at this point. The laws were still too chaotic, which makes it impossible for the living creatures to harness them.
Only creatures tainted by the Laws like dragons and spirits can harness their power during this period, and even they had a hard time of living too.
With such kind of hardships in this time, it is hard to fathom on how these creatures had managed to live through this Era, given the fact that most of them were waging wars against each other.
So how could these creatures survive at this era, when their numbers should have been lower?
This is where the existence of the True Gods comes into picture.
****************
In the present age, or what is also called as the Transcendent Era, the word ’God’ can refer to an extremely powerful being, whose power allows it to lord over countless laws and mysteries.
Such kind of person cannot be treated with disdain, as their power alone makes them extremely formidable.
Of course even if these people were powerful, they are not really ’Gods’ in a sense.
The real Gods are those who lived in the Primordial Era, and they are called True Gods.
***************
A True God is the manifestation of the Laws of the Multiverse itself, which gained life through the worship by countless living creatures. These laws can vary on their type, but as long as these laws were being worshipped or followed by living beings, a God can be born from it.
Unlike the creatures that live here in the Transcendent Age, a True God did not train have to train itself just to reach a high level of power.
A True God was strengthened by the faith of living creatures, and its ideals, way of life, and abilities all stem from the way that it is worshipped.
There are almost no limits to the power of a True God, as a True God is supported by the Laws and the faith of its supporters. In fact, the only way that a True God can be defeated is by either killing all of its worshippers, or by making another True God fight it.
Both options are extremely hard to pull off, and those who tried usually end up dying gruesomely.
With these kind of abilities, one can consider a True God as an existence equaling that of a Monarch, if not, even greater.
***************
The existence of the True Gods was first recorded at the beginning of the Primordial Era, during the time when the two most dominant races in the Multiverse were having a war with each other.
These two races were the Primordial Giants and the Celestial Dragons, who take up the majority of the Multiverse’s territory each.
Both of these races have their own unique power and capabilities, which allowed them to take over large amounts of territory. The only obstacle left on their hegemony were each other, hence leading to the war between them.
This war was a brutal one, with countless death and destruction occurring everywhere. Countless fierce creatures and innocent bystanders were the majority of deaths this time, and these deaths just led to more conflict and more destruction.
In fact, around 70% of the Multiverse’s population were killed off in this war, a number which can only be described as horrifying.
The extent of damage and death in the Multiverse in this period made it apparent that the Multiverse is headed to a bad future. Because if this war goes on, there is a high chance that all life in the Multiverse will be extinguished.
But due to a possible lucky break, the effects of this damaging war has actually led to the birth of the first True God.
************
The God of Death and Destruction Soahc, the oldest and strongest True God, was first seen appearing at the middle of the Multiverse, at the place where the battle between the Primordial Giants and Celestials Dragons was raging.
Records stated that his appearance was accompanied with the destruction of countless star fields, along with a wail of fear from the Multiverse itself. It is hard to verify if this was true, but other records said that the whole Multiverse acted as if Soahc was a being of terror, and that it seems to try its best to expel ’Him’.
Aside from this, the records also stated that after his first appearance, Soahc proceeded to slaughter ½ of the creatures present in the war.
He killed countless dragons, giants, and other creatures with a wave of a hand, doing it in a manner as if he had just killed a nuisance.
This action single-handedly brought the end of the war, and it also brought forth a new age on the whole Multiverse.
***********
With the power and domineering traits that he showed, True God Soahc was able to force every living creature to worship him. His representation of the Laws of Death and Destruction made it impossible for anyone to resist him, and the sheer amount of his worshippers just increased his strength.
Anyone who does not follow him were killed, which eventually silenced most of his opposition.
Because of his power, True God Soahc found no opposition against his rule, and it continued that way for many years.
However, the continued proliferation of life in the Multiverse has led to the inevitable:
It might have taken them long, but True Gods that represents other Laws eventually popped up little by little after Soahc’s birth.
