In the beginning, there was only darkness and chaos, a void without form, foundation, or meaning.
From this emptiness emerged the first divine beings, not mere humans but the Gods. They were powerful, with even the strike of their power causing the cosmos to tear apart.
They waged war against each other. Each wanted to be the supreme Lord, the ruler who oversees everything, but no one was willing to be a slave under another.
The strong would be supreme, while the weak would be pawns in the kingdom. Yet no one agreed to that, and no one would be a servant to another. Legends called it the Eternal Battle.
The truth history never tells is that the foundations of heaven were built on blood and terror.
The war went on for a century. This was when Zeus killed his father Cronus to be the head of his clan, and Lord Shiva beheaded his son for losing a war. And yet, this was only the smallest taste of terror, a mere whisper of the horrors that would follow.
