1 An ordinary Titan - 1

The Soul Forge is a mega structure built by the creator with its size only dwarfed by its purpose . 

The way our world works is quiet simple , in the sea of chaotic energies the forge sucks in chaos through an opening and converts it into fresh souls that in turn create everything like matter and space . You see when a soul degrades over multiple incarnations it release all sorts of energies and when it is incapable of any further reincarnation it gets dissolved back into chaos thus a cycle is formed .

In this endless cycle every time a reincarnation happens a very pure energy called vitality is released . Even through vitality is only a trillionth by part of the cumulative energy released by a soul , it is opium for gods as they can directly absorb vitality and improve their powers which means whoever owns the largest number of dimensions grows powerful much faster . That's why wars for territory are more common among gods than than greetings .

Being the weakest of my brothers I was never the warrior instead I liked reading . My life passed by freeloading off my brothers , I would stop at their territories for a few decades , learn something interesting and then carry on . After a few centuries of being a hobo I found out that I knew everything there was to know in this creation so I turned my attention to the soul forge . 

I had my doubts about the soul forge for a long time , the soul forge though grand it is ultimately a machine and every machine has a job but the soul forge did nothing for the creator . The idea that the creator made the Soul Forge with his being just to give birth to a vibrant world was not even considered by me .

Analyzing the Forge for a few decades I discovered that half of it wasn't even working . Further research revealed the inactive part to be a collection unit which in theory would amass all the disintegrating souls and turn them into pure energy for the creator . 

Realizing that the creator was just another god trying to increase his powers and that the world was just a massive meat tenderizer for him made the last respect I had for him disappear . 

My massive OCD kept nagging me whenever I looked at the Forge so I decided to complete it and I can share this finding with my brothers , I am pretty sure they will stop calling me a nutjob behind my back after that . 

After a few thousand years of insane construction by one man the forge is now complete with just a push I can change the fate of uncountable souls but first I will brand my authority over the forge which will grow stronger at the same time as me . I am doing this because I know anybody else would just be driven insane by the unfathomable and ever increasing might . The power surge at the beginning should not kill me , probably .
