Chapter 60 - Tales of Beginnings: Part 1

In the beginning, there was none but Chaos. Chaos alone and none else happened for a dozen eons, and his boredom grew.

After dozens of eons, he was the only being thought of to create others. And they were formed. Ninety-nine deities with no blood relating between them. All called him their father.

Among these child gods, none held power, but they each saw the world.

And as they looked at the world, they comprehended its teachings.

Each god learned a different aspect of the world.

Some studied creation, others learned destruction, and many others.

Among these children, there was the All-Creator, a prodigy among prodigies. His siblings created life with much effort, and he effortlessly learned their works. His siblings formed worlds, and he skillfully made his own. He had white hair and red eyes.

And, there was another. The All-Enchanter. A child, curious to see all. And his father came to his aid. He studied the world, and all honored him, the one who sees all. The one who comprehended his siblings' doings when they unknowingly learned magic. He had white hair and purple eyes.

Things continued smoothly for eons then after. The All-Creator created a world, and his siblings added things as they wished, but nothing was ever perfect in the creators' eyes. There was too much Chaos.

The creator constructed great beings, semi-immortals who governed his world from a second world, connected to the divine plane by a door. And other gods made semi-immortals to live on the earth.

To the two most exceptional of these beings, the creator had given the title of his children. The eldest was the closest being to be a god, Lucifer, a white-haired man with red eyes and goat horns. And the second child was a loyal servant of his father, Michael, a blond man with yellow eyes and six wings.

The eldest of his children walked among the earthlings and enjoyed their chaotic freedom. On the other hand, His father looked at that liberty with scorn. The freedom to play was also the freedom to kill. He did not authorize them both. He made a decision.

The creator has decided to slay his father, and the heavens were split three-fourths and a fourth. A fourth opposed their tyrannical sibling while the rest joined him.

Lucifer, known by mortals and semi-immortals as the devil, Mephisto, Satan, and many other names, joined the rebelling side against his father, as his greed was great, and he wanted to do as he willed.

During the first multi-realm war that spanned across the realms created by many gods, many gods died, but after them, remnants were left, and these remnants were fused by the world itself with some of the none-divine and created semi-divine beings, the Gifted.

Among them was Atlas, a tan man with green eyes, a prominent member of the semi-immortals who lived in Greece, who used his gifted power to outrun the god of speed.

There was Sun Wukong, the grey-furred stone monkey who wore a golden dragon scale armor with a red cape and fought using a stave, who, along with the Budha, a bald sage who wore a golden Kāṣāya, unified many mortals as their gods. They were the holders of god's immortality and god's divinity, respectively.

These three, and many more semi-divines, mortal cultivators who surpassed the limits of regular mortality, semi-immortals, and gods joined hands behind the All-Enchanter as he led them in the fight against his brother.

Throughout the war, the All-Enchanter learned many more uses for his power. If he could see all, he could control all, and as such, he used his ability to see divinity, the one force that none but Chaos could reject, to control it and make it his weapon.

Chaos could not be killed, but he was heavily damaged and was no better than dead. Those who sided with the All-Enchanter were cast into a realm created through a deal struck between Satan and his father. They were named demons and were sentenced that their bloodlines would stay there for all eternity.

All-Enchanter's closest confidant's memory of him was altered, so Atlas was remembered as the hero of an ambiguous, great war in the past.

Sun Wukong was left broken and alone. His race was annihilated during the war. All he was left with was unexplainable resentment toward the gods.

Budha sacrificed himself in a failed attempt to bring the All-Enchanter's soul back from the dead.

Some demons were let to live in the realm governed by the All-Destroyer, one of the six survivors among the All-Creator's godly supporters.

The deal struck between Satan and his father wasn't just a deal to surrender, it was a deal that required Satan to betray the All-Enchanter and let him be captured, and in return, he was given a realm of absolute freedom to do as he willed.

In his dying moments, the All-Enchanter vowed revenge and cursed the father-and-son duo. He swore that his will would live through Satan's half-human child that would be born and that this child would bring him back and help execute his revenge.

After the war, the All-Creator created a part-human son of his own to oppose his prophesied grandson. This is the human god, Yeshua, a man with dark ginger hair, a beard, and green eyes.

A long time after the war, the All-Creator attempted to resume his divine works and created two new humans who lived alone among animals and with no other intelligent being in sight. But Satan wanted to take down his father as soon as possible and seduced the blond human woman.

But as they married and consummated their marriage, the All-Creator punished her, Lilith, to be a demon, and as such, she was no longer a human, and if they would ever have a child, he won't be half-human.

Later, the All-Creator formed a new woman, Hava, and humanity started. A few millenniums in, the All-Creator fulfilled a promise made to his sister, Heltinne, goddess of heroes, to let her human daughter live among other humans even after the war and without any memories of it.

So, Leia, Heltinne's daughter, was adopted by a human family.

After a long time, without Satan knowing her origins, she caught his interest, they fell in love, and she followed him to Hell, the realm outside the All-Creator's control. They had an affair, and a child was born. Danniel, who later slew Satan, stood by as the All-Enchanter took his revenge on the remaining gods and convinced him not to destroy reality.
