Synopsis
An old man appeared out of place in this landscape of a bar. It's bartender was rather strange, one moment a boy the next an old man on his last breath, even coughing a few times. A while later, having calmed down, the old man started a conversation with the odd bartender. "Hello, my name is Anthony Vargus. May I know why I'm here?" [Welcome current head of the Vargus familia, your new aren't you. Well, now your here, to have your sins be judged by me. Yes, a surprise isn't it. What? You thought that your organisation already killed Death? Well..., who said there couldn't be another one? Who said that those arrogant assholes up in their so-called Heaven can't be killed? Really, you guys did a really good job killing Death, now, I have a request, could you help me kill every single bast*rdous piece of crap that stinks in that "Heaven" of theirs? In exchange, your people will be free from Death's grasp for 2 years. I'd advise you to hurry, afterall, you were the one to come up with the idea of deicide aren't you? Now, scuttle back to your little mouse hole and grow tremendously with the time I bought you, grow so well that you shall no longer be a weak rat but a hungering Gigant, willing to fulfill your role to tear those f*cking Gods to shreds and when your done, We shall have a taste of the Divine flesh. Drink their blood and feast on their bones! Go! Let loose on them! Leave on my decree!] "You intend to kill more Divinities?", the old man cried out, shaking in fear at the thought. [Divinities? The Divine? Gods? Those narcissistic asshats don't deserve to be called that. I'm sure that as a member of the 5 Kings and an expert in kingdom management that you should realise that every single one of those Churches, be they member or Cardinal, their minds no longer belong to themselves and are but mere pawns of those damned "Gods" to be used for that trashy game of theirs. If you do help, outside of 2 years without Death, I shall also hand over 2 Divine ranked items and the Vessel of Chaotic Corruption, agreed?], saying that, the 'thing' in front of him raised its hand and offered it to him. And he took it. He too, had had enough of the Four Churches and was willing to even become the greatest sinner in the history of the world of Rein just to take down the Churches and stop the cruel games of the Divinities. "I hope I didn't make the wrong choice here.", said the man for he quickly reverted to his youthful days. [Don't worry too much about this deal of ours and just enjoy the new and youthful body of yours. Afterall, you aren't the only one within the 5 Kings to have contact with me. Other than you, every one of them has met me before. The first was the King of Undeath, as a Lich King, it was rather easy to pull him over here. Anyway, I'll establish the mental connection of the Mana network with you now. There it's done.], after saying this, the King of Delhait Kingdom titled King of Structure felt something poking into his head and suddenly felt a connection to 5 different places. (Ah, our old friend here finally joined us) A young voice rang out as the image of the King of Life shown itself, quickly followed by the other members of the 5 Kings. Following this the creature's mouth moved again. [Now, it's time. The first to be taken down is the Goddess of Life. Next is the Four-Elements God. After that would be the Primordial Moon Goddess. Finally, the main course will of course be the man behind the scenes, the World God.] Following this, a year and three quarters later, the world suffered tremendously for the Gods died in the hands of Men and their Divine Orders were taken away, each one in a different hand except for the King of Undeath for he was promoted to Death by the mysterious being. Finally, humanity was free from the greedy grasps of the Gods. From here on out is the story following the events as we go on and look at the being's life. [Well, well well. A rat is peeking out of it's cage. How interesting!]

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 - Consequence of Betrayal

[Let's have a talk, shall we?]

"What do you even want to talk about sir?"

[What, you ask? Well, the progress of course, how many of the Gods are dead right now, as in truly dead? I do remember reminding you to destroy their Sparks should your group fully intended to kill them all, yet all five of the Divine Sparks have not been crushed into powder but rather used as a power source for you people and the World God has been turned into a Golem with his remaining Divine Shell. Tell me, does your group into to go against me using the remnants of the broken down Gods and the gifts I gave all of you?]

"Well, sir..., yes we do! You treat us like we're nothing! Who do you think you are! For 2 years, my comrades and I have been fighting for your cause yet all we get was the dead corpses of the Gods and nothing else, what can we do with that? You clearly have the ability to extend life, seeing as you made me live longer by these past few years, why can't you make us immortal as well?" , exclaimed the Vargas family head.

[May I ask if you choose to represent all life forms of Rein in saying this?]

"Yes, I do. I may be incompetent but I planned most of the plan for the downfall of the Gods and I believe that everyone will agree with me in my thoughts of representing everyone."

[Since you chose to represent everyone, then you should also face the consequences of representing all and that is the complete erasure of this world. Do you understand?]

"What do you mean?!"

[Why isn't it simple to understand? It's merely been a while since I've had a meal so I think it's time to bite down.]

A cruel and crazed smile appeared on the being's face(?) and the walls(?) of the bar all fell away to reveal the sight of the planet being laid out in front of them while they were floating in space. The worldly laws must have changed for the vacuum of space existed yet they were able to breathe properly.

On the planet, the people were going about normal lifestyle, with bountiful divine energy to be used, technology had progressed tremendously, becoming comparable to late 20th-century Earth. Every being could see that the sky was becoming darker and for some parts of the planet, daytime immediately shifted to night for a black, viscous, humungous and alien life form appeared above the sky. It's head was full of big eyes, it's arms were all different, some were human, others were amphibian, reptilian and insect arms. If there were any legs then they weren't visible.

[Now..., time to chow down!!!]

The Thing manifested a mouth and it stretched its jaw so wide that it couldn't be compared to any animal's mouth. With that, the mouth closed down on the planet and swallowed it whole. Consuming the entire damn planet. The only survivor left were those of the elementals existing within the surrounding stars and the lone family head whose family was no more.

[Ye desired for immortality did ye not? Yet what came out from endless greed was an eventual loss. Immortality cannot be granted and only obtained. This is a truth, no matter what world, no matter the universe. Immortality makes everything boring. But, I suppose since you wished for it. Then, it is your right to have it. Anything that I have eaten stays with me, forever. Thee can stay immortal, deep within my stomach.]

And with that, another mouth appeared and chowed down on Anthony Vargus as even his name disappeared from reality. A face similarly resembling him appeared on the Thing's body(?).

[One last thing, to the fools watching me outside of the restrictions of time and space! Don't you all dare think that I don't see you! You'll all be my next meal. I assure you of it.]

With that said, the Thing, ate open a gap in the ?_/# and disappeared into it..
