Throughout the different mythos', gods and supernatural deities were believed to enter and abide in the world of mortals gaining physical appearances of the physical world.
Some interacted with mortals influencing their lives.
There are many tales of gods from various pantheons who left their divine realms and entered the mortal world. gods like
Bacchus from the Roman pantheon who traveled to the mortal world to introduce wine and festivals to mortals.
Ganesha from the hindu pantheon; Born in the mortal world to Parvati and Shiva, and later became a god.
From the Zhōngguó shénhuà there are
The Eight Immortals, the group of deities who descended to the mortal world to help humans and teach them wisdom.
And
Susanoo the Storm god of the Japan shinto was expelled from the divine realm, he entered the mortal world and slew the monster Orochi.
More so was the story of Zeus who slept with Danae, princess of Argos and gave birth to the demigod Perseus.
The world was filled with countless stories of deities descending the Supernatural plane for the realm of the Physical, for lust, for Love, for banishment, and out of compassion.
Currently, Zha'thik tumbled from the Sky for non of these things, he tumbled for the sake of revenge. And for the perfect method it felt to execute it's wish.
Form to Form.
It landed with a huge shockwave, uprooting countless trees from the efforts of it's landing. Dust, rocks, trees, pieces of earth. They all flew rampantly away from the landing point of the godbeast.
Surprisingly, the debris that spread about seemed to avoid the direction where the female intruder stood.
Like there was a repelling field around her.
She shook her head, telekinetically clearing the dust and rocks that scattered throughout the air.
It revealed a man.
A godbeast. A man godbeast?. It revealed a seething Zha'thik.
The godbeast stood at a height of nine feet, it's body roughly humanoid was tremendously covered in deep layers of tar black scales.
On it's head sat a large blue serpentine head, with large, beady eyes.
Which upon locking eyes with it's opponent, ran ragefully towards her.
It was clear from his awkward movements and unnatural motions that he was not used to this form.
Yet, however, it ran, shattering the earth beneath it through the force of his impact. A testament to the desperation and rage it felt towards her.
"Even at Oblivion's door you still seek death?" the female intruder asked.
The godbeast was smart enough to realise that; coupled with the PL difference and the fading of it's strength to a level lesser than half, it stood almost no chance against the intruding female demigod.
'This enhances my belief on the theory of the Ur-relic being beneath the earth, it seems to want to try every possible means to stop me'. She thought to herself, bracing for the incoming attack, she stood still, at an akimbo. Waiting.
The godbeast's race towards the demigod had happened instantaneously, destroying a huge portion of the rainforest or rather,what was left of it.
With both it's speed, it's force output and it's increased acceleration.
And upon reaching the female demigod, it reigned in it's anger and let it's body take over. The mind of a god though bestial could be a dangerous thing.
The demigod who acted aloof and unconcerned was actually careful — extremely so, with her actions.
She knew that a wrong move or pattern of movement from her could result in her doom, even if from a dying deity.
So she resolved to act careless. A bit sloppy with her movements, but quick enough to avoid getting hit.
The godbeast was further enraged.
"Is that all you have?, little snake". She taunted.
Their movements appeared blurry, the punches and kicks sent by Zha'thik would constantly be dodged, and the aftermath would be a ravaged section of the rainforest.
This continued for quite some time.
Until the female demigod chose to counterattack.
She kicked off the ground, leaping a great distance away from the godbeast.
She fell unto the earth, slapping her palms on it's surface.
Like magic, hard, solidified rocks got attracted to her hands, climbing up her arm.
They stopped just short of her shoulders.
She readied herself into a fighting position.
And from the way things where turning out, it was evident that she was slowly turning serious.
Zha'thik chased her down, slowly getting accustomed to the humanoid form.
And with a shrill scream; whilst aiming for her head,it punched.
She; ever as nimble as a cat, cleverly sidestepped to the left. And, with her right arm; covered by the hardened rocks, jabbed heavily at the godbeast's ribs.
Zha'thik stumbled backwards, but it was not hurt.
"Damned PL level balancing", she cussed, sucking her teeth in frustration.
The Third Law of Luo's Concept of Potency Level Distribution, PL for short states that: 'Beings of half divine heritage, will have a balancing out of attacks, when the said attack is dealt to one higher than them in the divine rank'.
This law had an effect on all attacks the female demigod would deal to the godbeast.
As Zha'thik stumbled, it hit an unfortunate stone, falling.
The demigod, while laughing at the scenario jumped on top of it, serving strikes upon strikes of rocky punches to the disoriented deity.
Yet, the PL law made the effect minimal. Making the herculean punches seem to have only but a stunning effect on the deity
She lifted her arms in the air; melding the rocks that coated each if them together, Till her arms looked like a giant rocky club.
She bashed it downwards, unto the head of Zha'thik.
Lifting it up again, the weight meaning nothing she struck down, performing her actions continually and repeatedly.
Deriving a sickening joy, from the sound it made.
Her earthen eyes turning a golden brown hue as she did so.
Zha'thik pushed her off trudgedly with a right arm, it's left arm had faded completely, and in it's place shimmered a bright blue dust.
Yet, such a simple action from it amounted for the demigod to be thrown afar off.
Indeed, god law seemed much greater and insurmountable to and for Physics.
The intruder demigod; Marauder of the tribe of Gowurs, landed softly on her feet, separating the melded Rock arms, steadying herself for a bit before bursting to the direction of the godbeast.
She didn't want to give it a chance for any recuperation.
Zha'thik's eyes glowed brightly, and since it was dark, the darkness added a measure of deep uncanniness to it's eyes.
The demigod knew what was coming. Dead or dying— a god was still a god.
A being possible of supernatural adaptations enabling it to act out and gain strength even if it's original was more than halved.
Zha'thik had figured out how to use it's supernatural gift in the human form.
It's eyes turned beady, the air around the currently devastated rainforest turned musky and damp, fog and mist appeared everywhere. And the deity seemed to flicker in and out of existence.
It hissed darkly.
Entering the Border realm and exiting to the Physical.
This wasn't the Fadation and Erasure of the godbeast acting out although partially, it was — this was it's meaning in Manifestation.
Every deity had something it stood for, the idea or concept that it's people had of it or manifested it out of,
What it represented.
To the Gowurs, Zha'thik stood for both the River and for Mysteries. But since there was no longer a people to believe in Zha'thik, it's meaning was lost, and for it to try to manifest it's meaning without a people it had enhanced the speed at which it faded.
This was the price it paid for the cost of more strength.
The demigod herself was not to be outdone, she had began showing true glimpses of her power.
She hadn't earlier because of the fear of rebound from using an unequal level of PL. But now; the godbeast had cheated first, clearing a pathway for her to cheat too
It had allowed her to raise the level of capable PL.
In layman terms, this meant that; the strength of abilities they would show would surpass by far the abilities that they had displayed before.
There was a stare off. This wasn't a sign of stalemate, or apprehension at the thought of failure. No, they both were gathering strength to finish, if possible in one strike.
A liquid trickled down Zha'thik's forehead, sweat?,
it stare seemed to shake turned glazed at times.
The Fadation had long since completely eroded, the entirety of it's body's left side.
'Sweat!', the demigod thought, that could be the sign she needed,
The sign that the godbeast was on it's last legs.
But to work on this,she needed a distraction.
"If I may, Zha'thik of Pantheon Ad'hila, whichever way this turns out today, I would like to say my name, so if you do succeed in ending me, you would know the name of the killer of your people" she uttered gravely.
What she said was without a doubt stupid, she knew it, Zha'thik knew it, both they were both buying time, so any and all distractions were accepted.
"My name is Anaedo" she continued, "from the Igbo Faith Nation, a place far, far away from here". She finished.
She closed her eyes, her breathing changed, becoming light and languid. She had done this countless times so she was sure of herself.
Slowly the earth shook, rupturing all around as a cataclysmic earthquake descended on the rainforest.
The godbeast; Zha'thik, stared suspiciously at Anaedo, had she caught on?, the look on it's face seemed to ask.
Suddenly, bursting out from the earth was a huge fifteen-inches-tall black, oddmetallic bone.
The bone seemed to give off a vibe of power, one that seered through the air around, coursing through every molecule.
Zha'thik gave up a loud shriek, it's eyes widening in confusion and surprise.
Indeed, it was the Ur-relic.
A huge field of water was formed in the air, ready to come barreling down on Anaedo, who in turn shook her head.
"I hate using this" she whispered. Her eyes still closed.
"Godslay!", she shouted, her deeply masculine voice reverberating loudly all around the rainforest.
A golden spear appeared at the hands of the demigod, fluctuating a great amount of unbridled power,
The female demigod, threw it with full force towards the godbeast.
The strange weapon seemed not to adhere to Luo's law of PL, as it struck through.
Impaling itself at the deity's head.
Zha'thik's body faded instantly, and the water up in the air disappeared immediately.
Anaedo opened her eyes.
She grabbed the Ur-relic with her Rock covered hands and crushed it.
The black bone Ur-relic turned into a wisp of black smoke and then seeped into the golden spear.
Anaedo nodded contentedly, she felt stronger, as would all other blessed, demigods and the gods connected throughout her pantheon and Faith Nation.
She destroyed the Rock arms, letting it seep back to the earth in liquid form.
Looked around, before finally sinking into the earth— the way she had emerged.
"And then, there were none", she whispered lastly.
