Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The Origin of Gods

In the very beginning, before the Big Bang even occurred, a mythical being took form. He didn't know what happened, he just knew…he was there. 

 Due to boredom, he found out about the power he possessed, the power to do everything. In attempt of trying to release his powers, he accidentally created an explosion that created the universe, which we know now as the Big Bang.

 He was in shock, he didn't know what he did, but slowly he realised that that explosion became the beginning of his creations. He saw stars crashing, planets forming…and soon, he witnessed the formation of the entire Milky Way, and from one great explosion he created.

 He was astonished at what he done, so he decided to continue creating, do what he can to create a world of happiness and enthusiasm.

He created axises to hold the planets in place, creating the Solar System. He then started to design the planets one by one, but none of the planets' design satisfied him, except for Earth. So he devoted most of his life designing it.

 He created the land and the sea, the clouds and the trees, he made logic exist, he made physics a thing. He created mountains and elements, then he divided the land into plates so they can move without him controlling. Then, he created Heaven, a place where he could rest after the work.

 One day, he thought, "What if i created a conscious being? Unlike the plants, what if other than breathing and taking in nutrients, there is a being who could speak, think and act freely? Like me." 

He immediately sprinted into action, he visualised the form of a conscious talking being and created it with a blow. 

And so, humans were born. He gave humans a name to call him——God.

But he wasn't satisfied, he thought humans are too weak and could easily die, so he created another upgrade version of humans. He stretched their height, buffed their strength and gave them sharp ears.

And so, elves were born.

 The humans were jealous of the elves' natural strength, and complained to God about the unfairness. 

God was busy creating other parts of the universe and couldn't respond, therefore to solve this problem, he created a being exactly the same as himself to split the work. 

He called the other being Zellereve and gave him the power of doing everything, he was responsible of the negatives like faults, consequences, actions and more.

Zellereve solved the humans' problem by giving them weapons and authority to match the strength of the elves. The humans were happy, and God saw that he was reliable

Together, God and Zellereve shaped the universe, then the multiverse, soon the omniverse and far beyond until it was complete.

One day, Zellereve thought to himself, "I have the same abilities and power as God, so why should I only be taking care of these small things? I want to be allowed to do what I want to." 

He went to ask God about it, God chuckled and said, "You see Zellereve, I am actually quite a perfectionist. And I'm scared that if I give you more work, it won't turn out the way I like it. So I'd rather do it myself." 

 Hearing this only made Zellereve's jealousy even worse, "So what you mean is I'll never meet your expectations right? If that's so, then let me meet my own expectations!" He yelled jealously and summoned thousands to millions of angels to fight God.

God was shocked by the unexpected attack but still stood his ground and fought Zellereve and the angels by himself.

 Although having an entire army, Zellereve gained the lower hand in the fight and his army was completely obliterated by God. Leaving the two of them standing in the centre of the universe.

 In terror, Zellereve ran to Earth, he created a place to be his hideout that keeps him away from God, he called that place Hell. 

God realises that Zellereve will one day come back stronger and knew he had to do something. So he decided to split his powers for a group of people to wield so there would be more people to fight Zellereve.

He split his powers and soul into three mystical ring and gave it to three humans whom he trust dearly. The three humans wore the ring and became the God of Nature, God of Humanity and God of Dimension.

The God of Nature was tasked to protect the planet with his greatest creations——Earth.

The God of Humanity was tasked to deal with people's emotion, sanity and lives.

 Finally, the God of Dimension was tasked to control space and time.

God's soul lived in the rings, and he peacefully watched the new gods protect the universe. 

As generations passed, so does the owner of the ring. After a few generations later, the gods split the rings to even smaller groups, including the Ring of Flame.

"…As time flies, the Ring lands into the hands of…me, is that what you're trying to say?"Fynnis asked.

 "Exactly like that, you got some really good memories."said Montell.

 "Isn't that great Fynnis? Your powers are directly tied to the universe!" Kallyne squealed softly.

 "We never heard of this back at the village," Lucia said, "Well at least the God of Flames never mentioned it."

"Huh, he probably didn't want to talk about us after what happened." Montell lowered his head a bit.

 "Hm? Why what happened?" Kallyne asked.

 Montell sighed and explained, "The ring's previous owner, Roledge was a stubborn and persistent guy, we had an argument 400 years ago because he thought elves are the most important being and wanted to protect them and them only. Then he flew off without looking back." 

"…well, that explains it." Lucia thought.

 "Oooh, lore drop.." Kallyne whispered.

"Okay now back to the main part of our meeting, how are we going to retrieve the ring? I mean if anything, he might be hiding in Hell, and we don't have to power to get in right?" Fynnis asked.

"That isn't a problem," Montell looked up and said, "Zellereve is a really free man, he would stroll the Earth knowing he can beat us easily."

Montell pointed as his own head and stated, "We gods have a trigger system that activates when we sense a strong aura coming from him. If he is detected, we'll know where he is and snatch the ring from him."

"Superb!" Kallyne said in surprise.

Lucia thought for a bit and asked, "That's great and all but…are you sure you can handle him with just the two of you?"

Fynnis realised and thought, "Oh yeah…"

"Don't worry, I never planned to do it alone." Montell said calmly. "I will be gathering more people for this."

"Do you mean…?" Fynnis curiously asked.

"I'll call the Gods of Nature."

 "Gods…of…Nature?"the three said in unison.

 "And you're coming with me, Fynnis." 

 "Cool uhh…where are we gonna meet them?"

 "Heaven."
