chapter 6 Knowledge
Creek
The sound of a door could be heard throughout the building.
Kreed entered a dark room, and turned on the light. The bulb above him flickered for a few seconds before it's dim light captured the entire room.
For a second Kreed stood still at the entrance of his room. He hadn't been here in over a week, he had hoped dearly that the runes would be the thing that does him in but, now he had no idea of what to do next.
Moving from the door. Kreed sat on a large bed covered in a black musky sheet. The bed was located in the left corner of the room.
As Kreed sat there motionlessly, the feeling of comfort grasped his heart. Kreed collapsed on the bed looking at the dimly lit ceiling. His mind was full, although the pain that plagued his mind before was now gone. Kreed was still struggling to digest everything he had learned.
Coming up with a simple method to understand everything Kreed started to recall everything he had learned.
Firstly there was the runes. The runes he had spent an entire year trying to decipher.
From what he gathered, the runes were a sort of benchmark made by, an unknown entity called, Caelan.
Caelan, was a being, or creature that lived over 4000 years ago, according to the date making the runes.
Caelan seemed to know a lot about the beings know as gods and demons.
The runes he wrote described the, creation of the planet Sihe-Rimaz, the very planted Kreed was currently living on.
It said that Over a millennium had passed since the great pact between the gods had been formed.
It was an alliance the gods created to win the war of dominance against the demons and titans, And as a result over 100,000 gods came together to overthrow the demons.
To solidify their alliance they created "Sihe-Rimaz" a completely new planet on which each god placed an equal amount of their eternal life force.
Making this planet an entirely balanced and harmonious system of coordination.
Of course Kreed had no way of knowing if what he read was true or not.
But based on his prior experience, Kreed had no trouble believing in gods and demons.
Kreed also added the package of knowledge he had received from the mysterious creature to the mix since some aspects between the runes and info was similar.
For instance, the runes described how Sihe-Rimaz was created, by the gods placing a great power know as eternal life force together to birth the new planet.
Similarly the creature's knowledge described how the gods received such a power.
It said that their eternal lifeforce, was their most precious possession. It can only be gained through recognition and respect. Once a being transcends into the realm of the gods, they obtain lifeforce, which can increase or decrease based on their status and feats in the hierarchy of gods.
Once a god's life force surpasses a certain threshold they gain a rank that limits the amount of authority that god can exhibit.
The order is as follow, bajo-end, medio-end, high-end, inordinate-end, and noble-end.
In these ranks, there are gods of all kinds, historical grades, members of renowned families like Olympia, elemental grade, and even gods of concept and faithful Ascension.
Linking that back to the runes, the 100,000 gods made Sihe-Rimaz as the ultimate pact and contract between the gods, as each God placed their life force they essentially sealed their fate and entire existence in the world of Sihe-Rimaz.
There were a lot of inconsistencies in the information, either based on Kreed ability to understand and decipher the runes. Or because he had probably lost valuable information while trying to keep his mind intact.
Because of this the rest of the runes, he remembered, told of a story.
It said that After Sihe-Rimaz was completed and blessed by the gods, the yaw klim galaxy was created by the olybote Family of gods to go alongside Sihe-Rimaz and aid in its survival.
This galaxy was much smaller compared to the others and only possessed one star at the center much like a solar system however this star was made by RA himself one of the very few inordinate end gods and the ruler of the cattle of Ra Family capable of crushing an entire legion of demons with his authority alone.
This star was hundreds of times larger and hotter than that of an average star. This star named Vega, Was centered in the galaxy and lit it up entirely, many of the noble grade gods also created planets to orbit Vega, These planets would be used as farms to further gather life force that would be used to battle against the demons. Making Sihe-Rimaz the only known planet in this galaxy to possess life.
Soon after its creation news spread throughout the realms of gods, the underworld, purgatory, and the heavens, of the beginning of a great alliance between the hundred thousands of gods.
Consequently so this forced the demons and titans into taking a rather dangerous step to equal the playing field.
Damien one of the 20 demon kings ranked tres in their order, decided to release his entire battalion Of demons including 5 of his high-end disciples, too meqca one of the heavenly realms to destroy it and reck havoc and for the first time in 300 years the demons had an advantage in the battle. however this came at a great cost as one of the most valuable asset to the demons, Damien had acted on his own accord and lost over 13 billion demons in the process while also using his demonic energy and force to back up his disciples.
Because of this Damien who was crowned as the third strongest demon king lost most of his powers and abilities making him no stronger than a 1st order bishop or a executioner.
Because of this Damien traveled to Inote a country in purgatory completely isolating himself from the rest of the realms and world's to train ang re-gain the life force and power he lost in the battle.
However Because of Damien's unexpected attack the demons were able to access the galaxy of yaw klim and make a bridge from Sihe-Rimaz to the underworld. Allowing them to use their eternal life force and spread their dark energy throughout a part of Sihe-Rimaz, disrupting the perfect balance and harmony the gods sacrificed much to achieve.
Learning of this news the God's took a risky step to balance the playing field, by requesting of Tera the Goddess of the land to use her life force to bless the land of Sihe-Rimaz and isolate the demons completely. Luckily Tera accept this deal and moved fast enough to cut of the demons life force from spreading any further and corrupting more of the land.
A wall was then built around this place, and this incident would be known as the great purge. As the war was finally rallying up heat, the Gods were trying their best to counter the demons, and after the entire alliance had been completed they seemed to be the ones that Would emerge victorious in this feud.
Unbenounced to them the demons had also formed a similar alliance, now that Damian had disappeared the Seven Deadly Sins finally accepted to assist the demons and titans. Vagerfij a former iron mage, blacksmith of the Oni Pegasus squad and Hifien a bajo-end God who was onced ranked 13 in the field of strategist among all the God's. Both joined the demons increasing their chances of victory by an extreme amount.
To Kreed the story, looked almost perfect. But he had one simple question.
If all he knew was real, then how did Caelan obtain such information. He was a mortal was he not? How could a mortal create such powerful runes with the ability to meet with someone's mind? The more he thought about it the less it made sense.
Perhaps the gods could descend upon the land. But, no... From the mysterious creature info that couldn't be possible.
There were three rules, made by the gods.
The order of the righteous 7 or the council of the 7 righteous gods, the same gods who suggest the idea of an alliance being formed as well as being some of the very few inordinate and Nobel end Gods, decide to implement 3 rules which the gods had to follow when joining the alliance.
1. Gods aren't allowed to interfere with their possessions once they place them in the world of Sihe-Rimaz. (for reference if the god of the Acites, tiny creatures with 4 arms capable of devouring an entire three with nothing but their jaws. Placed them on Sihe-Rimaz he wouldn't be able to interact with them and they would need to grow and change on their own)
2. The gods are to provide support to each other to destroy the demons and titans, once they join the alliance.
3. Although Gods may have internal conflicts and rivals with each other none are to violate the alliance by destroying each others kin and essence.
These three laws were ultimate and divine punishment would be given to any god who violates these.
So how could Caelan obtain such a great ability. The answer was simple, he either had help in creating it or he managed to transcend into divinity.
