The void shook.
The presence of three gods—Hades, Zeus, Poseidon—should have been an impossibility here.
Yet here they stood.
And the Outer Gods were no longer silent.
Something vast had awakened.
And it was not pleased.
The Arrival of the First Outer God
Reality folded inward.
Not like space collapsing—but like a thought being rewritten.
Something ancient began to take form.
Not through motion. Not through time.
It simply became.
A being larger than stars, its form an ever-shifting mass of wings, eyes, and burning void. It did not radiate power. It was power.
And when it spoke, creation obeyed.
"You do not belong here."
Zeus stepped forward.
Lightning crawled through the void, bending and reshaping around him. Storms surged in distant galaxies, responding to his presence.
"You speak as if we care."
The Outer God did not acknowledge the words.
Because words were beneath it.
Instead, it moved.
And the first war began.
A Battle Beyond Gods
It did not attack in the way a god would.
There were no weapons.
No divine strikes.
It simply imposed its will upon existence.
Entire realities shattered.
Laws of physics rewrote themselves.
Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades were caught in a war that had never been fought before.
Poseidon's tides surged forward, but they found no ground to crash upon.
Zeus' storm roared, but there was no sky to command.
Hades, however…
Hades understood.
Because he had seen the void before.
And he was no longer bound by what gods were supposed to be.
The Power of the End
The Outer God reached for him—not physically, but conceptually.
It sought to erase him.
To remove him from existence.
And Hades let it come.
Because he was inevitable.
Wherever there was an end, wherever there was silence, he would exist.
And so, as the Outer God tried to erase him—
Hades became the End.
Not just of the Underworld.
Not just of souls.
But of everything.
The force struck him—
And for the first time, an Outer God hesitated.
The Three Brothers Strike Back
Poseidon's abyss found its place.
Not as an ocean.
But as the tide that swallowed stars.
Zeus' storm found its place.
Not in the sky.
But in the fabric of reality itself, a tempest that burned between dimensions.
And as one—
The three brothers attacked.
The first Outer God screamed.
And for the first time, it knew what it meant to fear.
Foreshadowing: The War Has Only Begun
The first battle was won.
But the war?
The war was only beginning.
Because the Outer Gods were watching.
And they would not remain silent.
