Chapter 397 How they began
To see the worlds that he had created come into ruins was not fun. He would have accepted it if only one was destroyed but during the course of those years, multiple worlds were already destroyed. The god of creation already sent heroes to destroy him but they couldn't put a dent on his magic.
Cygnus was already so strong that they had a difficult time dealing with him. One more annoying thing that he had was his ability to travel in different worlds even though he did not have the gift. The immortality that the demon has given him made it possible for him.
After a few hundred years, finally a human was able to wield the power of space and yet she became a subordinate of Cygnus. The gods tried to meddle and made her hate him but the woman was resilient and did not give in. She was then separated from the group and they sent people to go after her but they lost sight of her.
His subordinates became a headache for them as they grew stronger because of their pact with Cygnus. Now that he had people who were loyal to him, it became even more difficult to kill him. It was one problem after the other that they didn't know how to handle him as he wreaked havoc in every world that he set his foot on.
Now, he returned to his original world and was getting his revenge. The god of creation wanted to watch what would happen next because he thought that he would stop after getting his revenge but he was wrong. The man started to blatantly challenge them and it was now clear to him that his revenge would not stop there.
"Let's finish this. He wants to face us then we will give him what he wants." The god of creation declared as he looked at them. "Let's do this once and for all."
The atmosphere changed at that declaration. The tension in the air made the surroundings vibrate. The gods now shed any ideas of getting out from what was about to transpire. Once the god of creation made a decision none of them could object.
"Are we going to add more heroes to fight Cygnus and his people?" One of the gods asked after that short silence.
"We already have enough. If we need to possess them then we will. It is for the end of this long overdue battle." The god of creation answered. They cannot turn a blind eye to it any longer.
"Then we will prepare for this battle." The god of war stood up and left.
That was the end of that meeting. They left to prepare for the battle ahead of them. Although some of the gods did not really agree with the decision, they had no other choice. If Cygnus was not stopped, he might go to other worlds and continue to destroy them then they'll lose their believers.
As they were beings that ascended because people believed in them, having followers were extremely important for them. They had been enjoying the benefits of having offerings for them and people praising them. That is where they were getting their power.
They have been existing for more than a thousand years now and in order to maintain their power they needed more people to acknowledge their presence therefore the god of creation, Kreyat, decided to create worlds and humans. He then let the other gods rule these worlds and establish their influence on them.
He was pleased at the results. Not long after, other gods were born so Kreyat needed to create more worlds. They became prosperous and the gods and goddesses were happily enjoying each of their worlds. Not long after, Kreyat became known as the first god.
Together with him, the god of war, god of wisdom, the god of the lands, the god of the seas and the god of healing became the major gods. They were leading the other gods. As their domain increased their power also increased which was according to them not a bad thing.
It also came to be that multiple gods would be followed in one world. At first this caused a commotion among the gods but it soon settled because Kreyat created more worlds. The division of people was easily solved.
Kreyat then assigned these worlds to the other gods and retreated from the scene. He went on seclusion after creating enough worlds that the gods could manage. He was confident that no problem should arise while he was gone.
The gods were delighted that the Kreyat went into seclusion. They both respected and feared him because of his power. Now that he was not there to watch their every move, they were free to do what they wanted to do.
They thoroughly enjoyed the privilege they had and started to assert their rule in each world. There were also times that the gods would be involved in a fight just because of territory and influence. Some of the gods were greedy enough that they invaded the worlds that the other gods were ruling.
It was the most chaotic era of the gods and the worlds they were ruling. The major gods on the other hand had no interest in the conflict. No matter what they did people would still follow them thus the problem did not really have an impact on them.
There were constant wars and bloodshed that destroyed kingdoms and civilizations. It became a cycle that no matter how many lives were taken no one bothered to count. That was how the different worlds went for hundreds of years that the god of creation was absent.
This was when heroes started to emerge. The gods were then divided into two groups, those who wanted to live peacefully and those who were greedy with power. They then entertained the idea of raising heroes who could fight for them and fight their battles. This became a trend.
Some of them took their titles with dignity while some abused it. The genuine heroes were rewarded and respected while the others were dubbed as fakes. A change in tactic happened as the heroes learned that they couldn't live without the support of the people and like gods they weaken if the people turn their back on them.
As the gods were reigning, the demons didn't sit still. When they learned that the god of creation was nowhere to be found, they took that chance to spread their influence in the different realms. Like the gods they were powerful but not enough to create worlds because what they wanted was chaos.
The demon realm was already full and there was a constant lack of entertainment. So, when the gods decided to create worlds, the demons couldn't keep their eyes from what they created. They longed to be in that place and bring chaos.
The demon king also saw this as an opportunity to test the gods. He was sure that it would be fun. After the Kreyat went into seclusion, the demon king opened a gate and let his minions flock the dimensions. He let them do whatever they wanted and that was when the heroes finally had their way.
Thus, the battle of heroes and demons started to fill the worlds. The gods were concerned at the beginning but after a long time, they got used to it. It gave them entertainment just as it did with the demons. It was a never-ending battle.
"Those demons, why are they even doing this?" One of the gods asked in irritation when one of the worlds he was managing was ravaged by the demons. He barely managed to fix it after the war.
"Because they like challenging the power of the gods. They think that they are stronger than us," one of them answered.
"Then why not challenge the god of war if that's what they wanted?" The irritable god complained once again.
"I've got plenty of demons in my hand and you want them to come to me?" A deep and hoarse voice spoke from behind the two gods who were talking.
He had red hair and blazing eyes that made the other gods fear him. He was Freyon, the god of war. He glared at the two gods before he took the empty seat on the gazebo where they were. His black robe reached the floor and the golden head piece he was wearing was glittering in the light.
"You're a god and yet just a small problem of measly demons makes you irritable? Are you that weak?" He mocked the god who was complaining to his companion. "Deal with them because you have the power to do so."
The minor god was embarrassed because Freyon heard him. He was just venting out because he was not like the major gods that could easily defeat the enemy. He hung his head while Freyon was directing his glare to them.
"I apologize," the small god mumbled. He then pulled the other god as they hurriedly left the gazebo.
A goddess then appeared behind Freyon. She wrapped her slim arms around his neck and laughed near his ear. "As irritable as always." It was Aseyas, the goddess of the seas. Her appearance was covered in a water-based cloth that constantly moves around her. Even her hair was like the gentle waves of the ocean.
