A God?

A centipede coiled to its prey, bones snap as the centipede grinds its shell against flesh slowly draining the life away from the poor man.

The man in black lies motionless with lifeless eyes, his body bending in unnatural ways the grinding of his bone, and the sound of flesh stretching to its limit stopped for a few seconds when the centipede finally decided to take in a bite.

But before its mouth can make contact with the dish served in front, it catches a glimpse of a fist coming from the corner of its eye.

It was so fast that it came in a flash, survival instinct rang through the centipede's head, but before it could even move an inch the fist hit it in the eye crushing its head against the pressure of the Man's fist.

Thud

The centipede suddenly lies motionless while the man in black huffs for air buried beneath the now lifeless centipede.

His broken bones, flesh wounds, and other injuries were no more, healed leaving no scars, nothing.

Gripping his pendant he stood up, taking in the bloodbath that happened in the two minutes that he died.

At the center of the bloodbath was an open door framed with gold and white wood carved with what seemed to be a hound chained to the ground by large chains embedded in its body.

The door was like a mirage as centipedes and humans passed through it, A villager ran over the door, and in response, it turned into mist letting him pass through and chasing behind him, a beetle flew over the door impaling a villager with its mandible, the villager lets out a blood-curdling scream until the beetle mercilessly rips out the man's head.

The villager died at the hands of the beetle, and in response the door spews out chains pulling in what seemed to be the soul of the dead villager, dragging it inside its domain.

It wasn't the only soul it pulled inside, in a matter of seconds thousands of chains lay on the ground pulling the souls of all the creatures that died inside the temple, all except the man in black even though he had a chain sticking to his chest.

The more souls it ate the larger the door grew, snapping out of his thoughts the man ran towards the door and pushed it shut with both hands

He grunted as the weight of the door resisted him,

"Close....I said close!, I Don't need you!" He screamed pushing with all his might but it wasn't enough, the door forced itself open sending him rolling on the blood-covered floor.

The insects saw and the beetles came flying towards him eating away his skin and flesh, the man fought back as the insects feasted on him he grabbed one by its mandible and split the insect open it screeched as he did so, before punching the rest down to the ground where their green blood spattered the floor.

"I don't have time for this" He mumbled all wounds healed "Close!, I order you to close," he said sight straight at the golden door that started to chain up the souls of the bugs he killed.

Seconds later more beetles came with centipedes as support and he massacred them, silent as he did.

No matter how many times he was killed or injured his wounds would just disappear moments later, with every bite the bugs took on him one of them got killed in revenge, it all ended when the bugs got the danger of the man engraved to their head.

The corpse of their comrade pile on the floor where the man stands, green blood splattered across his black attire.

Catching his breath the man looked for the door only to see the people behind him using him as a shield for the monsters.

"Attack one of them and I'll slaughter you all," He said to the bugs which seemed to understand his threat as they began to retreat toward the ceiling

Limping towards the golden door to close it a deep echoing voice like a cheap imitation of human sound asked him.

"You....tell me your name" It was the self-proclaimed god which the man had forgotten about, next to that god was the elder unconscious holding onto a damaged corpse.

"Why should I?" The man asked and in an enraged voice a response came "I am your god!, How dare you show disrespect!'

"You just a shard, cheap imitation, you are no God"

The self-proclaimed god dashed in front of the man blinded by rage, the four of his snakes clutched onto the man's limbs to immobilize him.

"Tell me your name"

"Caesus," the man said hitting his head against the God which had no effect. "I'm amazed you forgotten it"

"Forgotten?, I have never heard of such a name!, now be a good sacrifice" Behind its fur came out a snake as large as Caesus head.

"And my servants as well, why not partake in the food in front of you?" He said to the bugs while looking at the trembling humans that have flocked together, so in his command the beetles and centipedes attack ignoring their senses that's barking them to stay away from the man.

Crunch.

Eitryl bit off Caesus's head which healed after the bite, he again bite off the man's head regrew almost instantly even with the fresh-cut head still rolling on his tongue.

"This shouldn't be possible," Eitryl said his voice drowned by the scream of people.

"Who are you to tell what's possible?" The man asked biting off the serpent hand that shackles his arm.

"I'm a God, that's who I am!" Eitryl yelled opening his giant serpent mouth oozing with saliva and quickly swallowing the man whole.

"The rude bastard tastes sweet" Eitryl hid his giant serpent head in his fur before going towards the unconscious elder.

"But how does this faithful servant taste?, would it also be as sweet" Eitryl's four snake limbs drool at the thought of eating the elder

Thud

"P-please, don't kill me I'll do anything" Eitryl quickly looked towards the voice and saw a ragged man kneeling in front of him, the man managed to get away from the clutches of the bugs which made Eitryl a little curious

"Why did you not escape?" Eitryl asked seeing the huge hole where the door was supposed to be.

The Man smelled both of pee and blood making Eitryl's arms retreat.

"My lord, being abandoned by you is the same as being killed by you" the man answered "I'd rather ask for forgiveness than escape"

"Yes, this is how mortals should be behaving" Eitryl answered with amusement.

"If I ask you to kill yourself would you do it?" He asked and the man hesitated for a moment before nodding

"Good!, I'll spare you so go to the altar"

"Thank you for your mercy" The man exclaimed happily crawling towards the altar.

"You traitor!, are you seriously worshipping the monster that killed our Mother!" A young man exclaimed seeing his older brother crawl towards the altar.

"M-my lord if you could also please spare him he's just shocked from th-" The older brother couldn't finish his words before a centipede went towards his younger brother squeezing the boy's body until the eyes popped out of its socket.

"No" The elder brother squeezes his chest as he begins to puke after seeing what happened to his brother.

The Door that even Eitryl seemed to not be able to see, began to grow bigger with the death that happened, it grew to half the height of the temple

"Another one died" A voice coming from Eitryl's stomach made the god step a foot backwards.

"How?" Eitryl asked as his stomach bulged larger.

"No power should work when you're inside me"

His arms reacted quickly, he cut his stomach open and grabbed the fully intact Caesus inside throwing the man to the ground, and at that moment he caught a glimpse of the Door growing twice as big as before.

Caesus immediately got up and tackled the God to the ground punching its spiky body and tearing away the flesh inside its open stomach.

Eitryl retaliated by biting Caesus with his arms but the wounds healed too quickly for him to even cause Caesus to react so the god resorted to making the man pass out squeezing the air out of him.

"STOP!" Eitryl ordered but Caesus continued beating the self-proclaimed god, pulling away the unending flesh inside its body.

Caesus was so strong that the god couldn't get up even if he tried.

"Not until you die," Caesus said entire body covered by mucus while the four arms of the good squeezed his slippery neck.

The inside of the god made no sense it was all flesh, no blood, no organ just beating flesh.

Caesus scooped it to no end searching every nook and cranny of God's gut presumably looking for something as the door behind him continued to grow phasing through the temple's roof.

Second pass and he finally found it, a small shard of light blue glass hidden deep inside the god, the glass emitted a blue light as he took hold of it

An immediate response

his arm that holds the glass was cut off and his body was flying.

The god suddenly gained strength, it stood up and all the bugs in the surrounding melted into a puddle of green blood.

Stomach open revealing the shard of glass hanging at its center, the god asked

"Someone who does not abide to the rules of death, who knew the existence of my heart, can I take it that you're a fellow god?"

"If so why fight....you know why I exist!" The ground trembled and the altar behind the self-proclaimed god collapsed.

"If you-

The sound of metal hitting metal as the shard inside the god was Stab at its center.

Its four arms looked behind its body to see the person who attacked it and saw the elder.

Clutching the knife that struck the God's body, hanging on its giant back tears flow as he apologized to the god he just struck

"Please, forgive my foolish son and the others,...I alone have sinned you"
