The Goddess of Lust and the Goddess of Love tried to entice the God of Forge with all of their temptation, however, the God’s mind was clear. The God of Forge only care about making and unmaking. Fundamentally, he lacks humanity, more so than any other gods.
As a God of Forge, the God’s power came from his tool and his single-minded determination. So saying, he was not different from his tools. All of him moves like piece of tool, examining the greater world. The clockwork that he built was not that different from the God of the Forge.
How can Lust and Love affect a tool?
When the King of Heaven passed, the Goddess of the Dead weeps harder than she ever has. The name of the God of the Forge was cursed by the Goddess of the Dead. However, it was the Goddess of Love that cursed him the most.
The Goddess of Love stated
“You will know my name. And then you will fall.”
But the God of Forge just turns away after a job well done. After slaughtering the King of Heaven under the eyes of the other Gods, the God of Forge retreated back to his Forge, his eyes lit with inspirations from the underworking of the world gleamed from the unmaking of the King of Heaven.
At this time, the whole felt the after effect.
The Second War for existence began when the Empty Existences return as the light of Glory weaken.
One again, even though none of the Gods have forgiven the God of the Forge, they came to rely on his army of constructs.
And so, none ever comes to the Forge ever again. New constructs come out of the God of Forge’s workshop regularly, however, all contacts with the God are lost.
The God of Forge sees the world with a different eyes now that he has seen the undermaking of the King of Heaven. Everything has changed, everything is completely mediocre now that he has seen the truth behind true glory. Outside of the worker constructs that created new constructs for the army of the Gods, the God of Forge closes his Forge.
“Mediocre. Completely mediocre.”
And for billions of years, the door to the Forge will remained close. The God of the Forge does not care for the imperfect outside world anymore. He strives to only make perfect creation.
A perfect king of the cold machine.
