2 Nice Day? (2)

Nice Day? (2)

Hey all, bored High God Andy up in hell... I mean heaven calling in to report!

____________________________________

A few days have passed and I've come to a grim conclusion. It really is hard to die with this body. As an experiment, I tried to slap a black hole and see if that would kill me. Well, seeing as being in outer space with seemingly no protection didn't kill me, I decided to go all out with being stupid. And lo and behold it imploded. Not my hand of course, or I would be noting down the exact time of the moment when I decided on going through with such a stupid decision. But back to the point. The black hole imploded. That sets off quite a few alarm bells in my head, because there's no way that should've been possible. But what can I say? Other than I really can't die in this universe.

Moving on from the apparent indestructibility of this body I'll move onto the newer additions to my body. The wings. Other than being a hulking mass of bones and muscle, they don't really provide much help in anything. I've tried flapping them a few times, but being in space, there isn't really anything to push off, and besides, I will myself to different locations. It's hard to describe but just thinking 'I want to go there' leads me to suddenly appearing in that location. I've tried thinking I want to be home but that doesn't bring me anywhere. My reaction speed, or should I say my dynamic vision, is somewhat uncanny, I can grab the specific photon shot out from a star if I really really wanted to. But there isn't a point in doing that right now, just know that I can.

My general conclusion after being reborn as a High God. It's completely broken. Until I see other High Gods in action, I'll keep my statement as is.

Moving onto the general background of my universe. There are four galaxies. One in each corner of my universe. But that doesn't make sense because my universe is spherical, but you can understand that they are separated into different areas. The center area is the location of my throne.

Remember the solar system where the humans are located? They're in the galaxy to the top right of my playground. I've also scouted out a few other possible locations for life and the number of planets capable of sustaining life is quite high, so it's simply a matter of time before more sapient creatures rise from nowhere. But for now, the only sapient things around are humans.

Only a few days have passed but I have tried messing with the humans. I've tried talking to them in their sleep, but that usually leads to their heads blowing up. So I stopped after the 100th one because if the number of humans who died ended with an odd number... Well, that would leave me uncomfortable. I wouldn't be able to sleep until I fixed the problem you know? Even numbers are obviously better. Multiples of ten especially. I've also tried writing messages using clouds, but the humans have yet to create a centralized language, so that was useless.

My current goal? To somehow make these humans create a language. Doing so would allow them to properly distribute their knowledge and ideas, allowing more knowledge to be passed down through generations. This would slowly accumulate before leading to my rise in power. I'll leave the magic portion for later because I've never had any such experience with it. I'll stick with what I know now before messing around.

The real question is how to communicate without destroying someone's head, because if it doesn't work the next number to stop at is going to be 500...

But back to the plan. I can't talk to them in their sleep, they haven't made a language so writing with clouds is useless... What the hell? This is borderline impossible…

And you know what you do when you have an impossible job? You pass it on. Because of my job position as a High God. That must mean there's some sort of tier below me right? So if I can make this God, put them in charge of humans, my own power would automatically rise, and I can focus on other things. Such as invading other universes…

But I have absolutely no experience with magic. So how do I make a lackey god? Let's think of my own rise for a moment, I supposedly died, and was brought forth to the so called First God. So does that mean I should wait for someone to die and take them?

But I have yet to confirm souls. I don't think souls are actually a thing, because the cultivation system I set up involves the improving the physical body... Nothing to do with the soul. I suppose before I make a lackey god I'll have to do the dirty work by myself. For now… I'll impose my will to make a hand.

After concentrating briefly, a distorted shape of a hand appears in midair. It can barely be seen by the distortions it makes in the air. I'll use this to grab a random human.

Ah, oops, used a bit too much force and now he's mush… I'll have to work on controlling my strength… Actually no, that makes no sense, the hands moves according to my will, so if I think of grabbing someone gently… Nope, still squished, and there's even a print of a massive hand left behind where the two humans were. I don't think bringing them to me is possible just yet, so I suppose I'll have to descend onto the planet?

Looking over the planet of humans. I notice five distinct regions on one giant land mass. To the south of this land are rolling plains. Probably fit for farming. The east contains valleys of differing sizes, to the west are large swaths of swampland. The north is currently in a perpetual winter. Flat grounds covered in pine trees coated with snow. And finally the center of this land mass contains mountains that almost reach the sky.

Most humans live in the rolling plains to the south. For now, I'll designate the mountains as my landing area for my descent into the world.

Why don't I bring the humans up into space for a chat? Did you really just ask that question? Have you seen humans traveling through space with no protection? No space suits? Did you not see my previous attempts to grab one lightly?

As I will myself onto the tallest mountain around, I break through the atmosphere with a startling boom. Like a bomb went off, only multiply that sound by a couple thousand times and basically flatten the mountain range into a few pathetic hills with flat tops. It's only at this moment that I fully realize the size of my own body. The size of my head is a quarter of their planet, just my head coming close blew away mountains. I suppose that's why when I tried to grab someone, they went splat?

I think I'll have to abort the descent plan.

So what do I know?

I'm too big to physically descend onto the planet for a chat.

I'm too strong to take someone up for a chat. (Size also plays a role)

I can't write with clouds because they have no language as of yet.

I can't talk to them in their sleep because again, language barrier and also because their heads explode.

So I'm back to being passive. Again. So what should I do? Create more species? Recalling my knowledge of fantasy, wizards and witches were very popular. And I know that every good witch also has to summon demons and the whatnot. But there're no demons, so that means I have to make them. Again.

I lean against my throne and sigh, slumping down. This dream is way too restricting. If I really were a god. Would talking to someone in their sleep blow up their brains? I would at least be able to converse right?

But I can't. And I've no control right now. So let's get back to the demons. How do I make them? I made the humans on some sort of altar last time, but the dead man mentioned that my will is reality. And I've yet to confirm it right? Other than making ghost hands that squish people.

Alright, let us begin! Cue the epic music please. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F577tB8JvOc) Yes. Thank you. Even though the only thing happening here doesn't even involve blacksmithing.

For size, let's make them human sized. With wings made of bone and muscle… Hey wait a minute, that would look like me! Actually, that isn't a big deal, moving on. If I gave them sharp teeth and then made them herbivores that would be bad wouldn't it? Although it would be hilarious… And there isn't anyone telling me I have to be realistic with evolution right? Alright, so the demons of this universe will be made in my image with sharp teeth. But their diet consist of plants, because they're herbivores. Wait, if I wasn't going to be realistic with my creations, then I really should go with the abominations I had fun with earlier! I'll put the abominations in the galaxy to the bottom right.

So for now, my universe would be like so.

Humans in the top right. Demons in the galaxy to the bottom left. Abominations (experimental creations) in the bottom right. Why am I separating them into different galaxies and not different solar systems in a galaxy? Because space travel is definitely going to be part of their future. What am I saving the top left galaxy in my universe for? No idea, it could be a dead zone for all I care.

Shall I go into more detail about the abominations that I've made? Well, you're already heard of one of them. So I'll explain another one I made out of curiosity. One of the abominations I made is shaped like a worm. But it's wrapped in human like skin, with a human face. But the mouth actually splits the entire face open leading to rows upon upon rows of flat teeth meant for herbivores. But it's a carnivore. So prey is ground to bits before being digested. Slightly disgusting, but still interesting. The work of nightmares I tell you, the work of nightmares… They're also five meters long. Basically 15 feet long, or if that still isn't good enough for you. Basically the length of a bus. Because I based them off of worms, cutting off the head doesn't actually kill them. Killing a worm abomination would be like trying to kill a starfish. Cut the starfish into two right through the center and now you have two. Same concept with the worms. Cut it in half, and now you have two.

As for the demons. They aren't so different from humans. Except they aren't omnivores, they're herbivores and their teeth is incredibly sharp. Capable of shredding a tree to dust in minutes. And I decided giving them wings made only of bone and muscle wouldn't be nice so I just took the wing idea out in the end. But even though they're herbivores I coded them to enjoy drinking fresh blood. Why? Because humans can't be the only ones with the advantage of intaking blood for DNA, it wouldn't be any fun.

Now, since technology for interstellar travel has not been developed yet, I'll have to make some worm holes for travel between the three species...

Did I mention that my worm abomination is sapient? Well yeah, it's sapient. What could go wrong with introducing massive worms, that are carnivorous, and will probably travel in packs while communicating with each other, to a completely foreign environment? Nothing of course.

But in order to unleash this grand idea, I first have to punch a hole from point A to point B and C.

With a massive shattering sound as space itself implodes under the force of my punch, I can see the mountain range I flattened in the center of this planet in the distorted hole through space. It seems like the connecting point for Planet Human to the other two planets is this mountain range...

I really want to see how the humans survive... Can they even survive? I want to see what it takes to wipe out a species capable of adapting to change made similarly to humans from my own planet.

It's not like their lives matter after all.
