Demonic Godhood

I died but that wasn't the end. Now my soul was dragged into another planet in an entirely new universe one which was dominated by magic. But this world is young and needed someone to watch over it, someone to fill it with life and with one to destroy it and recreate again. This world needed Gods. And I was one the many souls that was sent to this world to be reborn as gods. But we gods were not invincible. Now an unfathomable war rages on between the new gods for supremacy and survival. And my first worshippers are dragons.

Chapter 5

The dragons were on a rampage, They burnt down the small huts on the periphery of the village and created a wall of fire to prevent any pig men from escaping.

The dragons didn't have unlimited bile so while 3 dragons kept flying 4 landed on the ground to tear the pig men apart physically as dragons had very strong jaws filled with razor sharp teeth, a long tail that could be used as a whip, 3 clawed fingers in front of their wings whose main purpose was to help the dragon walk on land but could also be used to grab or tear apart their prey and their massive size through which they could crush the pig men to death.

The dragons who landed immediately attacked the closest pig men, some had their heads bit of, some had their body cleaved into 2 halves by draconic claws and some were directly trampled upon.

"Brutes come out and teach these lizards a lesson", shouted the pig god. Afterwards around 24 pig men surrounded my dragons. These pig men stood 6.5 feet tall, carried large stone hammers and were quite muscular with 2 long tusks that could maul their enemy. I could feel the divine energy radiating from these pig men brutes, they were clearly blessed by the pig god which allowed them to surpass their limits.

The brutes roared and charged towards my dragons. Three brutes immediately surrounded the black dragon and one of them swung his hammer and smashed the black dragon oh his head sideways. The black dragon let out a pained hiss , his scales were intact but a few teeth fell from his mouth. The black dragon slashed his claws and tore open the neck of his assailant along with another one who stood too close. The third brute hesitated but the black dragon already had his jaws on its stomach and lifted him in the air and tore him apart.

6 brutes jumped on the yellow dragon and held him in place while 2 brutes held his mouth to keep it shut preventing him from using his fire breath. One brute holding what appeared to be 2 stone Knifes in his hands dashed towards the incapacitated yellow dragon and gauged out his eyes. The yellow dragon couldn't even cry in pain as his mouth was shut.

"You filthy swine i will roast you alive for this", roared the red dragon in draconic language which the pig men didn't understand as he breathed fire upon the yellow dragon completely scorching the pig men upon him. The yellow dragon was free once more and he roared in rage which shook every pig men and even the brutes who heard it. The roar of a dragon was terrible but a roar of a enraged dragon was worse.

The brute who gouged out his eyes ran but he didn't went far as the yellow dragon caught him quickly and ate him alive.

The yellow dragon was blind yet he somehow managed to keep a track of the brute which puzzled me then it came to my mind that the yellow dragon was using heat sense just like snakes.

Three more brutes tried to rush the yellow dragon from behind but the yellow dragon without even looking he swung his tail with such force that all three pig men were tossed into a burning hut and turned into bacon. Not only heat sense but it appears my dragons could also use echo location as well. It seems that even I the creator of dragons do not completely know the full capabilities of my creation as I fainted during their creation and may have given them more abilities then I remember.

The remaining brutes were taken care of with black, red and yellow dragon working together and most of the regular pig men along with their settlement was burnt by Tiamat and rest of the flying dragons. Some shamans threw fire balls at the flying Dragons but it had no effect. Attack a giant fire breathing lizard with fire balls, these pig men should be awarded the smartest creature alive award.

"You ******* little snake i'll make you pay for this", the pig god completely lost it at this point and while the pig god and while he was inventing wonderful new words for me I noticed a different sort of energy flowing into me but this time it was the opposite of divine energy which is created through love, devotion and worship. This new darker energy was made out of hate, sorrow and malice in other words it was demonic. But I had no time to experiment with it.

" You slaughtered my people, you destroyed my village, you burnt my temple. You took away what I loved now I shall take away what you love the most", The pig god voice was like a volcanic eruption. I knew I pushed him to far.

With that the pig god flew towards a shaman and went inside him?

After that the shaman's eyes started bleeding and his muscles swelled. He grew over 7 feet tall, the hair on its back started burning, His sprouted 4 new tusks and had bulging veins all over his body. The bloody pig god possessed him and looked very intimidating but I could sensed his energy leaking from the body. That shaman's body can't handle the force of a god and the power surge will make it destroy itself.

"Now you filthy lizard die!!!". screamed the possessed shaman and raised his arm upwards and a large fireball which was the size of an elephant formed. I could feel all of his divine energy was used to fuel this massive fire ball and the dragons felt it too.

The possessed shaman then threw this fireball towards Tiamat but there was no time to escape, The fireball struck Tiamat

And had no effect?

" But how?", the pig god was in disbelief.

"You idiot you don't deserve to be called a god, instead of making that fireball bigger you should have made it hotter as the scales of my dragons are resistant to high temperature to an extent and you fireball ball was clearly below that temperature ", I laughed. Dragon scales grow stronger and more resistant to heat and cold as they age but if that fireball was used to hit any juvenile dragon it would probably die as their scales were not strong enough yet. The possessed shaman exploded in blood and as the pig god came out but now looked like a starved pig as he had already expended all of his energy.

" Good bye now little piggy", with that the pig god disappeared. He probably went into a state of sleep paralysis like I went as a god can't be killed and only be forgotten, he would need someone to pray to him again for him to reawaken.

All the adult dragons landed around me with their head bent down in reverence and admiration.

"Your will is done father." Tiamat said proudly.

I could feel their devotion and worship but this is the first time I noticed it that the worship of Tiamat is stronger then the rest of the adults even though all of them are devoted to me equally. Then a realization struck me that as a dragon grows older and stronger the more powerful its prayer become as compared to a young dragon. To put it simply a 10 year old dragon's prayer would be equal to 1 pig men prayer while a 100 year old dragon's prayer would equal to 15 pig men. So although I have less worshippers their prayers get stronger with age and a strong race like dragons would have a stronger prayer but the dragon themselves need to grow old and strong for their prayer to become strong. This is a sort of balancing mechanism of this world.

After the destruction of the pig god we enslaved the few surviving pigmen and allowed them to roam our forest but we would harvest them for meat whenever we wanted. The yellow dragon went into hibernation for 2 years to regrow his lost eyes. You may think that regeneration is an overpowered ability but trust me its not as the dragons use their stored food reserves to fuel their regeneration and the process is also very time consuming. For eg: if a dragon lost his wings, he would need to wait atleast 10 years to regrow them and the older a dragon is the more time he will take to regenerate.
