Chapter 114: The Gods of Terra
-----
Abraddon, the God of Beasts and Nature, rested over his vast Divine Realm, remembering the past.
He still remembered how he and his siblings came to this world and created it.
In ancient times, he and his siblings lived in another world, a world filled with Gods.
Due to their overpopulation, the world there could not maintain so many divine beings, and many Gods began to migrate to other empty places where they could build their own worlds to live in and be worshiped by their creations.
Abraddon, alongside his siblings, decided to come to this area of the vast cosmos, a completely white space, this was often the places where gods created their worlds, as there were also places filled with galaxies, stars, and planets naturally formed when the creation of the fabric of reality came to be.
However, taking care of such places was way too complicated, as many external factors could affect the Gods creations, and due to this, they often decided to create their own worlds from the ground up, filling an \'empty frame\' within the fabric of reality as their world.
Abraddon came with his siblings from that particular world where many gods existed, finding a new place to call home.
Zudithe, the God of Space, and Judith, the Goddess of Time molded the space and generated time within the empty frame found in between the fabrics of reality.
Graktun, God of Earth and Craftmanship created the earth with his body and then taught craftsmanship to the inhabitants that would come later on.
Phylia, Goddess of Wind and Arts created a stable atmosphere, filling the world with many types of gases, making wind and air, alongside teaching arts to the future inhabitants.
Endis, God of Water and Wisdom created the oceans, rivers, lakes, swamps, and more, filling the world with liquid, the atmosphere became wet as well, making the atmosphere not dry anymore.
Ostris, Goddess of Fire and War, Aladel, Goddess of Light and Order, and Eton, God of the Sun and Day brought light to this world, alongside the sun to illuminate the day, and fire to warm and heat the ambient.
Aher, God of Darkness and the Night and Qevphine, Goddess of the Stars, and the Moon brought forth the darkness to accompany the night, filling up the white space around the world into an eternal ocean of stars, the moon also appeared to accompany the night.
And lastly, Abraddon, the God of Beasts and Nature and Thineas, Goddess of Life, Harvest, and Love filled the world with nature, plants, fungi, microbe, bacteria, animals, and more.
When the Gods glanced at their ideal world, they all smiled happily.
However, as they were creating the world, the residual Divine Power used for it gathered into a mass of chaos within the top of the world, it was in complete disorder and the gods predicted that if it were to be left unchecked, it would bring the demise to the world.
Due to this, the Gods combined their powers and bring forth the birth of Axitl, the Goddess of Chaos, the youngest of the Gods, created by the residual chaos of the world\'s creation.
Axitl was taught many things by her parents, and grew into a fine and obedient daughter, however, as the Gods grew bored of their world, they decided to asexually create children to make the world interesting and more filled with events, which would also net more worship and Divine Power in the long run.
Abraddon, the God of Beasts and Nature and Thineas, Goddess of Life, Harvest, and Love created the Beast-kin, shaped after the image of all the beasts of the world.
Phylia, Goddess of Wind and Arts and Endis, God of Water and Wisdom created the elves, shaped after their image, containing their gracefulness, pride, and wisdom, living for many years.
Ostris, Goddess of Fire and War, and Graktun, God of Earth and Craftmanship created the dwarves, inheriting their strength, and mastery over crafting anything, becoming masterful creators of countless tools.
Aladel, Goddess of Light and Order and Eton, God of the Sun and Day created the humans, a race shaped after their image, being all-rounders that inherited the many talents of their creators and the brightness and rightfulness of their nature.
And Aher, God of Darkness and the Night and Qevphine, Goddess of the Stars, and the Moon created the demons, shaped after their image and that of Chaos itself as well, becoming powerful and varied, they were a talented race with strong survivability that was able to adapt to almost any environment.
Zudithe, the God of Space, and Judith, the Goddess of Time decided to not create a race, as they found it would be too dangerous to handle if mortals inherited their abilities, and due to their importance of maintaining space and time, they did not want to create new life as it would drain them out of their Divine Power, which would force them to rest.
Axitl wanted to create her own children, but she was not allowed due to the dangerous nature of her powers, left only to supervise and glance at the world from above.
In that time, the young Goddess was but a child, but Abraddon now regrated not having taken better care of her.
The world was then named Terra by the Gods, and everything was finally set, the Gods rested for many years, as the Divine Power they spent was enormous, while Axitl glanced at Terra atop the Moon, in her throne of chaos.
However, as her parents slept and as she glanced at the world, her divinity slowly affected the peaceful life, affecting it and bringing chaos to them, even if it was unwillingly by Axitl…
Zudithe, the God of Space, and Judith, the Goddess of Time always considered themselves as overseers of things and did not interfere with the Goddess of Chaos.
When the Gods finally woke up from their slept, they were greeted with a world of Chaos, where all races fought against each other for resources, the Kingdoms that once existed were all destroyed, and new ones would raise everyone hundred years, in an endless cycle of war and conquest.
They tried their best to change things, but Axitl suggested creating a common enemy for all races to fight against, so they could get over their differences and fight together, monsters and dungeons.
The Gods seemed a bit in doubt about it, as Monsters were generally way too strong for the mortals to be able to fight against them…
But then, Mana Cores came to mind, as every living being was born with this special organ, even animals. As long as the Gods taught the humans to develop their Mana Cores, they would be able to fight against the common threat, and bring a seemingly \'era of peace\' amidst even more chaos…
"That was… certainly not the best way of doing things…" thought Abraddon, recalling the past.
As Axitl began to fill the world with dungeons, she filled it with deadly threats such as monsters, and normal animals became a rare occurrence amongst the many monsters that multiplied one after another.
The Gods found that everything had just become even more chaotic, the power they gave to the mortals was used for them to destroy each other even faster, and the Gods began to shift the blame to each other, provoking discussions, and then fights, where the gods, siblings, fought against each other due to their frustrations.
One of the affected ones was Abraddon, who had been blamed because his children, the Beast-kin, were too savage and could not be more pacifist with humans, despite the humans hunting the beast-kin because they were like animals…
"I am still quite angry because of that… but that\'s in the past, I guess…"
Axitl within the shadows of such conflicts gained more and more power through the special systems she created in the dungeons, where she harvested energy constantly, transmuting it into Divine Power and growing in power.
Meanwhile, the Gods fought even more, until they finally decided to separate from each other, unifying their own tribes and separating them from each other. Now every tribe was a big nation with their patron gods as their heads, vastly away from each other…
And as this happened, Axitl kept infusing more chaos in the world through her sole existence, her nature was chaotic as she was born from chaos itself, and this wasn\'t something that she could be taught to not do… And after many years, the gods had lost touch with her, seeing her less and less as a daughter and more as a figure of authority due to her constantly growing strength.
However, nothing can be forever peaceful, as the Nations slowly began to provoke conflicts against each other. Alongside this, the Nations began to grow stronger military-wise, regaining their former strength of old, and figures named as Heroes or Demon Kings began to appear within the world, chosen ones by the Gods to fight against the other nations and also defend their own in a constant battle for resources and lands…
Although most of the Gods tried to be neutral in such conflicts, the Nations of Humans and Demons were always the ones that fought the most, as their gods were in a constant discussion and battle for supremacy of the land, having completely forgotten when they were all siblings who came to this world to create a place to belong…
"Perhaps the pressures of the environment, such as the Monsters growing so strong to even rival us in strength such as the Divine Beasts, or several mortals becoming Gods and converting into our Subordinate Gods slowly changed their minds, being influenced by so many things, I can understand how they ended like this… yet it still baffles me how aggressive they are against each other… Even when my Country did not have anything to do with their discussion, they saw it as a place to gather resources to fuel their war even more…"
The Westwind Nation within the Country of Abraddon was currently in a war against the Human Nation of Holheim, which had decided to conquer the surrounding fertile lands of Westwind, only for it to go terribly wrong as more wars triggered due to that, and the two nations ended in a stalemate up to this day.
Westwind was in an urge to create more soldiers, and the necessity for a Hero to appear and finally put things in order and defend the Country was growing bigger and bigger…
And then, Frank appeared, and casually, he became the new Hero.
"Now that I think about it… I might have done things a bit too rushed… Although Frank is an impressive mortal, he is not from this world… I shouldn\'t have given him such a responsibility…"
