On another front, two Otherworldly Gods were being pursued by a massive onslaught of curses!
The power of the Primal Curse could transcend time and space, polluting memories.
This was no surprise, for the Ancient Gods were the greatest negative manifestation of the universe itself, the very embodiment of ominous malevolence from the Primeval Era.
This had already told many mortals of that time that this era was not meant for normal life to exist.
However, the universe probably didn't account for some things... like how to define "abnormal"?
Does it refer to those classic distorted tentacles and corpse monsters, or perhaps... a bunch of lunatics and an abstract population?
The Ancient Gods could not comprehend the reason for the appearance of Deities, just as these country Otherworldly Gods from the fourth era could not understand the Ancient Gods!
