Why did I mention these 3-4 people (Putin is sort of included), it's because they are the main personalities that will gather all 61 million souls that died that year.

Doctors, Scientists, Mathematicians, Chemists, Physicists, Farmers, Workers, Engineers, Teachers, Children, BOTW Videogame Players (Hmmm?), and many more people with different backgrounds rose from earth and into the heavens.

Normally, no god(s) from each of the thousands of religions on earth would tolerate such a massive amount of souls from leaving earth.

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

However, in this special case, “GAWD” (Not “God”. Don't get the two mixed up. Their names sound similar but both are two very different beings.”) from the RussianBadger universe decided to permit this action on the basis of “fulfilling the time loop of this universe.”

Of course this left a lot of gods on earth were unhappy that a year’s worth of souls were snatched away from a meme god from a different universe, but were reluctant to fight against someone who could spawn in an army of “Nondescript Lizards that have no relation to Godzilla” at a casual click onto earth.

Many gods sigh as they have to look for the next day for a new batch of souls to trickle in from earth, staring at Gawd leaving with a resentful glare.

The souls, snatched by Gawd, were thrown into a time and space traveling trash can, going back 138 years into the past. Seeking a new host, the combined souls landed on a new planet recognized by all Legend of Zelda players.

The planet of Hyrule.
