A Beginning and End

While over time our minds became our own, we did not stop our battles and the world underneath us shook. The only thing that changed was our reason for doing so, we craved what the other had it was in our nature to be greedy. At first, I only defended myself, stopping them from taking or trying to take what was mine and I created creatures, half-formed beings for I didn't have a chance at properly creating them. they would nearly district these beings, letting me get away or counterattack. 

It didn't matter though, while our battles were spectacles to behold nothing changed we couldn't truly kill one another. Until one of them succeded, it was a being calling itself Set, he was the first to murder one of us and devoured his body gaining power. Others followed suit, they pillaged and murdered each other devouring the bodies once they were dead. Increasing in power, becoming something different, like an angel they fell and became demons instead of the gods we were born as. I survived by creating a small but stretchy blue slime creature one that could hide me from the world, the universe, and the gods. 

It was hastily made but it should be enough and as they continued to clash, it took a bit of my power to accomplish such a feat as I was hidden from even the Demiurge, something I didn't know I could do. While hidden I saw a familiar figure, one I saw as we all work from birth, her name was Gaea, the primordial goddess of the Earth, she who would shape what it was to become into being. 

I saw her standing over a cliff as the gods clashed against one another, she looked to the sky to our creator the Demiurge. She had begged the Demiurge for a solution, for some way to create change and make a truly livable world, to stop the fighting amongst the Elder Gods. They answered with a bolt of energy flowing through her, I knew it wasn't to kill her but rather it was to give her a gift. The gift of life, of something that would end the fighting amongst the gods. 

I watched all this and knew that what was to come would be nothing short of a mass Deicide, as hundreds of gods would fall once that child was born. So I began to work, to explore my powers something I wasn't able to do while I just barely survived among the countless battles, unable to properly explore my new abilities. I started working on a realm, a separate plane from the universe one where I would freely create my beast, where I could properly design my monsters, my soon-to-be gods, and goddesses. 

Unlike the others, I would need time for I survived mostly by running away or by striking the others and quickly knocking them out using all my might. For I was the weaker of the litter, one of the weaker gods for my power lay in creating not in battle. I had to tear a hole in reality, one of empty space, and I began creating, I pulled rubble into this space, enough to create a continent-size flat plane, one built by a mixture of asteroids and of the very earth I stood on. 

It took quite a bit of time, and a lot of my energy but it was worth it, a place I could call home, a place I could create freely and spread my monsters across the cosmos. Some good, some bad, but both would be necessary for you need balance, creation alongside destruction. I closed the portal, allowing the space to settle and for my energy to sip through it and get used to my presence. 

I wanted to keep an eye on things longer too, to see the type of being that would be born from Gaia. I watched her, watched as she eventually gave birth to a sun-like being, one who was far stronger than the Elder gods themselves. A being who would destroy the others, or drive them out at least. I saw it slay them, take in their power itself, becoming stronger with each one dead. My slime allowed me to avoid its wrath but I saw another one of the Elder gods, alongside four others. It was the being who was made of bone and fire, the being made of storms, and the others I couldn't get a good look at.

I think the fiery being's name was Utgard-Loki, or at least that's what I think I heard them call themselves. They too alongside the other four created a realm of their own, a place where they would be kept locked up, and gave Gaea a key, something to summon them if she so chose. I had no idea why they gave such a thing to her or why they decided to do this but it had nothing to do with me and so I slipped into my reality, closing it off, and making sure it was hidden from the god killer, no god eater, the one Gaea named Atum, the first one amongst a new generation of gods. 

How I contribute to this, well I would make my own as well, perhaps not at the same level as this being but god or godlike all the same. They would formed from my energy, and my mana, and I would be able to control them but for some, I would need to give them the ability to reproduce, to become their own species. While I didn't know the limits of the Annihilation Maker from DxD nor my own, I would experiment, I would figure out the best way to spread these beings across countless worlds to spread my own art amongst the stars. 

It would be tricky at first but I had all the time in the world for it would be quite a while before other gods would be born, from Earth to the countless other planets capable of sustaining life. I first got rid of the blue slime, while it did serve a purpose, it wouldn't have survived much longer due to its instability. I would make a far more effective creature in the future once I had the hang of my abilities.
