Chapter 39, Deities.
----------------------------------------
"These two realities were made to exist in tandem. The Olden Realm is the fraternal twin of the Apocryphal Domain. As leaders of these realities, you are meant to work together, not against each other." The obviously more authoritative figure spoke, the abstract entity of colors.
"And who might you be to tell me what to do?" The false god spoke, causing all the Eldratic Gods to crane their necks, even Sakura doing so.
"Who do you think you are to backtalk the lord?" A boundless and intimidating voice sounded in the god's ear, Revenant's hand gripping his neck with incredible force.
One would find it hard to even see what happened!
One moment, the huge existence was speaking, and the next, Revenant had grown to his size, violently choking him out.
"You are a FLEA, living within a piece of space dust inside the vast Cosmic World. You are NOTHING standing next to me, let alone our Father. Learn when you may speak, and when you need to keep your mouth shut. Words can be a gateway to your demise." Revenant angrily scolded, dropping the frightened level 15 existence.
He turned back to gaze at his Father, everyone present sweating due to the sheer pressure Revenant had released in the moment.
"Father... It has been eras since we have last seen you!" Revenant's attitude quickly changed, turning into one that was happy but confused in the same moment.
He took a knee in space, aimed towards the deity in front of him, his head faced downwards.
"Were we mistaken in our journey? Did we do something to earn your disdain?" He asked, the Eldrids behind him following his lead and too kneeling towards the one before them.
Sakura and her little entourage could not understand what was happening.
The one she was looking at had to of course be the existence that was once in her home.
The mind-boggling entity that had made her father seem like an ant all those years ago.
Yet, these who called him Father, they kneeled before him?
Is that how children should behave to their own father?
Or, did they just truly have that much respect for the one before them...
"I have no animosity with any of you. You are all my children. Everyone present. Everyone who has been. Everyone who will be. You are all my offspring, so how could I hold hatred for any of you." The superpower responded, shaking Sakura's heart.
She could feel the truth behind his words, her heart strings tugging as she started to feel the grandeur presence of the one before her...
She could just barely grasp his power and magnificence, her mind struggling to stay stable within while being in his vicinity.
”But you should know that I am busy. I have entire realities to watch over, pathways to deduce so that you all may advance, and even new concepts to create. I only have one person in the entirety of existence helping me with this now, so my time isn’t necessarily free.” Their father explained, Revenant perking up his ears at his words.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
”This man is not the one helping you, is he?” Revenant frowned.
He felt he would be a better help than the one before him.
After all, the faceless one didn’t even have an aura…
”He is not. The one helping me is…” His father paused, seeming to think for a moment before he spoke once more.
”My child, The God of Creation.”
At that moment, an overwhelming pressure fell upon everyone present, space ripping apart in the distance, violently churning.
Sakura’s father trembled slightly, his head too turning to the new entrant.
Space twisted and turned, a creature pouring out from the folds of space and becoming a real entity that no longer resided within the domain of fiction.
“You have summoned me, Father?” A flat, monotonous voice spoke.
None present could tell if it was a male or female.
The entity had long white hair that draped down to its back, a face with no features beside that of eyes, and a sharp jaw.
It’s body hovered between male and female, having slight curves but no significant male features.
The only truly recognizable thing was, it’s size.
It dwarfed the false god, literally making him look like an ant.
Despite being thousands of lightyears away, it still displayed a huge size to all those present.
It easily stood taller than universes!
“Yes, but it was not anything of true importance. I was just showing these before who it is who has been helping me deduce realms.” The Father said, nodded, turning back to face all those before him.
Strangely, nearly all of them seemed to be choked up. Revenant being the only one present that was even able to lift a finger.
“F-Father. Who is this?” Revenant struggled to ask, barely being able to face his creator while the pressure suffocated him.
”Hmm… She could be considered your sister.”
He received a response, making him crane his neck towards the godly entity.
‘Sister?’ Midas thought, utterly confused.
“It is not important, we are getting side tracked.” The deity cut in, drawing everyone’s attention once more.
”The point of the matter is that these two realities are not allowed to clash. So learn to deal with each other soon, or face the repercussions.” His eyes squinted, the powerful entity lifting a finger up and aiming it towards the space above them.
“God of Creation, I have something to discuss with you. The rest of you, do not disappoint.” His finger waved, a fissure opening up behind the two gods, both of them stepping through and exiting the reality.
The nearby vicinity was left trashed, every present existence huffing and puffing as the third and incredibly powerful entity seemed to depart with the two gods.
”What the hell…” Akatosh whispered…

”It’s time for you to pay for your wish.” A voice spoke into Julius’ ear, making him pause.
He was currently standing within a slightly technologically advanced room.
He stood on a raised platform, a large circular object pressing down on him.
Currently, Julius Randell, the level 15 existence, was squatting the weight of nearly half a billion universes.
“I- have to pay…” Julius blinked, lifting the weight over his head and stepping off the platform, the force slamming to the ground.
The fact he would have to pay for the free power he gained all those years ago had completely skipped his mind!
Now, he was patiently working on his strength, slowly comprehending and assimilating every law within the Apocryphal Domain.
He was even formulating true Deified Laws!
He was making sure to elevate his power to impossible levels! He could not lag behind the God of Creation for forever could he?
He desired to be a creature that stood side by side with the Will of Reality…”
And now, he had to pay for the power that was gifted to him by said Will of Reality.
”What is my payment.” Julius asked, sitting down on a bench, wiping the sweat off of his body.
”…” The voice did not respond for a few moments.
”You will become a true god. A deity of another realm that is not just god in name, but god in principle.” The God of Creation spoke into his ear, making Julius’ nose twitch.
”Is this not just another blessing?…”
