"Define humanity."
The God of the Forge stated in front of his forge
"Human are those who love, lost and experience mortality. Human are... flawed."
----------------------------------------
“Do I really need to learn about humanity?”
All the gods have a single day, on that day, their power will be the strongest. However, for the god of crafting, that single day has lasted for billions of years.
How do you defeat something that kill all life, everything that contains humanity? That is the question that leads to the God of the Forge’s rise to prominence. In the Primordial Era, what comes first was the divide glory of the gods. From that glory, everything become a reflection of the gods. Humanity, earth, everything. Everything is a fragment of the glory of the gods. However, where the glory doesn’t reach, that place fester, it is a cold place, empty of everything.
That is where the enemies first arose. A strange enemy that even the gods fear, an endless horde of empty existence that consume the life of everything it touches, that is the Empty Existences. The emptiness of the enemies draw in everything, even the gods are not spare. Everything is consumed, nothing remains, even the fearful lifeforce of the War God was consumed.
The King of Heaven, the first god to rise from the divine glory of old is antithesis to the enemies. However, even his power is limited, for while the Empty Existences fear his very divine presence, the King of Heaven cannot beat back the horde of the Empty Existences on his own. The Gods needed an army. It is said that on that day, a long time ago, the King of Heaven arrived in front of the young God of Forge and asked him to make an army for the Gods. What he promised that day is lost to the passing of time.
How do you fight an army that kill everything that live, that which is the antithesis of life itself?
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
An army of soulless, non-living soldiers made of metal.
The God of Forge crafted for the King of Heaven his army. With an army, the War God can effectively lead on the battlefield, The King of Heaven can lead the Gods, the Goddess of Death has time to mourn for the dead, the God of Madness can resume his antic, scaring both the host of Gods and the Empty Existences, The God of Love has time to love, the god of Lust can drink the euphoria of the living who does not need to fear death.
The first war for existence was reaching its conclusion. The God of Forge awes the world one more time when the Goddess of Death was mourning for the departed. That day, the Forge was working at 100% capacity. A tower of metal of divinity arose in the middle of the Divine Glory, the land of the God.
The God of Forge forges the tower of Dingir, the resting place of the Gods. Gods do not truly die, however, when the Empty Existences first came, it turns that notion on its head. All the Gods that were killed by the Empty Existence truly died, and that is why, the Goddess of Death that mourning the passing of mortal now mourn the passing of the Gods. However, Dingir is truly a divine construct worthy of the God of Forge, it is a host for all the soul of the Gods that have passed away in the first war for existence. The Dingir hosts and protects the soul of the God, to preserve the dignity of the Divine, ensuring that the Gods will never truly die. On that day, everyone that was lost in the war come back to life.
As the one who is currently in everyone’s eyes, the God of Forge rose to prominence. However, an event would later lift his fame to an even higher height.
The God of Forge only care about making and unmaking.
One day, the God of Forge met the King of Heaven in front of his forge. On that day, the light was dimmer, the color of the sky was less blue. The God of Forge restraint the King of Heaven on his forge, and then with his hammer, disassemble the greatest Divinity of the land of Gods. The army that protected the land of Gods now prevented the other Gods from interfering, they can only hear the terrible screams that arise from the Divine.
The God of Forge understand making and unmaking. He understand the make-up of a human. He understand the under working of the world. He can, with time, assemble the world, pieces by pieces at a time. All of the universes, they were of creation, the God of Forge understands their making. However, he does not understand the King of Heaven.
He does not understand how he can be so glorious, he does not understand what the King of Heaven is made out of. And so, on that day, on that terrible day, the God of Forge unmake the King of Heaven to see what is inside him, what is this humanity that the King of Heaven speaks of.
“You lack humanity.”
