In the universe, the three main powers of creation, preservation, and destruction were the fundamental forces that governed the workings of the cosmos. When the Creator created, the Maintainer maintained, and the Destroyer destroyed, some of their power would mix with the world, imbuing it with their essence.
However, the pure power of the three main gods was too great for mortals to handle. Those who sought to wield this power had to develop methods to change their form, allowing them to harness and control the energy. This was the basis of the power system, a complex network of energies and abilities that governed the universe.
The three main powers could only be used by the three main gods, their avatars. These powerful beings were the only ones who could wield the pure power of creation, preservation, and destruction.
In the mortal realm, power was measured by IQ, or mental power. However, as a person ascended to godhood, their power transformed into God mana, a divine energy that was fueled by their connection to nature. Divinity was gained through faith, and those who possessed it were said to be chosen by the gods.
There were different types of mana that existed in the universe, each with its own unique properties and characteristics. These included:
Nature mana: a primal energy that flowed through the natural world
Spirit mana: a spiritual energy that connected all living beings
Magic mana: a mystical energy that was used for spellcasting and magic
Demon mana: a dark energy that was used by demons and other malevolent beings
When the three main powers were used by a demon, the power would transform and become demon mana, a twisted and corrupted energy that was fueled by darkness and malice.
