The flaming rocky plains stretches out as far as my eyes can see. What seems to be solid rocky ground is actually soft and very hot, holes that spout magma like fountains fill the ground, and smoke and fog covering the skies, even the sun.
I don't feel any heat, but for some reason, i know. I wander around one large area, searching for any changes in the terrain....
But no, it's just this volcano habitat again and again.
The smoke and fog forms the atmosphere, and it makes rain clouds, it rains, it floods, the ocean was born.
At least that's how I know Earth was made. I could never know what would happen on this planet. Would it turn out like mars? or maybe venus or Mercury as this is the closest planet to this sun.
I'll never know. So I'll need to make a planet viable for life.
I close my eyes and imagine myself growing, bigger than the planet, bigger than the suns.
I open my eyes once more and I'm back in outer space.
And now, I crack my neck and fingers, even though i have no physical body, and spoke.
"Let there be- wait."
I have 8432 suns. Each solar system has 8 planets, and the dwarf planet pluto, so let's say each sun has 8 planets...
Fuck, I don't have a calculator.
Let me try something.
"Let there be a calculator." ...Nothing happened.
"Uhh... Let there be a pen and paper?" a black pen and a black thin piece of paper appears before me. Both of them are ver transparent. On the end of the pencil is a white light, maybe that's the lead or graphite?
I write the equation on the paper, and it is light. Numbers and symbols are on the paper with white ink(?), and the thinness of the text make it seem like the pencil is very sharp.
8432
x 8
--------
Uhh... I forgot.
It's simple math! How the hell do you know how planets are made but not know how to do simple multiplication?!
Multiplication is just repeated addition so...
I erased the written text with my hands and it disappeared immediately. Instead, I wrote this.

Uhhh..... 2, 4, 6... that's 16, carry one... 3, 6, 9.... that's 24, plus one, 25, carry two, 4 times 8, that's 16 plus 16 because 4x4 is 16... that's... 32 plus 2... 34, carry three... 8 times 8 is 64 plus 3, then 87....

I need 87,500 earths... Or maybe just a quarter of it, not because I'm lazy... Well, that might be a small reason, but the big reason is that some of the planets are just plain Liquid, or plain gas. This is gonna be a loooooong work... I wish there is a way to get someone to help me....
...
...
Hmm...
Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!
But what if we can get someone to help us?
Gods, any gods, can make other gods, as long as they're the stronger ones, right?
Like Zeus and his crapton of children because he's a horndog?
A better comparison would be Chaos to Gaia, Tartaros, Eros, and Erebus, who all suddenly was born from him.
I wonder if I can do that... If I can, how? Should I waste my time finding that out, or should I just start spitting out planets?
Let's see... How would a god give birth to another god? Should I just chant?
"I call thee from inside me, be born from my self, gain life from me, take my body as yours, and gain thine power and grow."
"ARISE!" I make pose, like a necromancer bringing the dead back to life. Oh god, what am I doing? This so cringy... Ugh...
My black hands, start to leave my body, bit by bit, as I watch it leave a smaller version of my hands, as in front of my are.. 4? No, 6 things in front of me be formed with parts of what once my hands, having the same gassy, transparent body, but with different colors. Mine is black, and they have, from left to right, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, and Violet. The primary and secondary colors. The primary colored ones seem to be bigger than the secondary colors.
I instinctively knew what to do. I need to give them names, and their purpose.
I walked up to the left most being, the red one. I had to give them a fitting name for their color.
I said to the Red one, "I, gift you the name Pira, and you shall live as the God of Fire, War, and Passion."
Then to the one beside him, the Blue one, "I, grant you thy name, Serenitas, and you shall bear the title, The God of Water, Peace, and Tranquility."
I face the the Yellow one and spoke, "From now onwards, you shall be known as Lucerna, The God of Light, Life, and Jubilation.
The three undergo changes in their body, I notice that they gain human skin, but I diverted my attention into naming the last three.
I walked to the Green being and spoke, "I gift the name Libertad, God of Wind, Creativity, and Freedom."
I faced the Orange one and told it, "You will now be known as Cere, The God over Earth, Intellect, and Discipline."
and to Violet one i said, "You shall be nameless, like me. You will be the God of Darkness, Death, and Despair."
When the Latter three began changing, I headed to the former three, as they have completed their transformation.
Pira became a man. He has crimson eyes under singed eyebrows, and burning crimson hair, styled like a candelabra, and a stubble that seems to be burning endlessly. He has a well endowed body, covered by a red robe with orange linings, and a fire insignia on the arm. He's wearing the robe loosely, where anyone can see his bare torso. He also has an aura that seem to melt and burn anything around him.
Serenitas became a woman, she has azure blue locks that flow like water, blue eyes that see through you and lips that seem to allure you, garbed with freely flowing dress, exuding a graceful aura that seem to calm me when I get close, at the same time, threatening to drown you if you get too close, akin to a Siren. She has a long staff with a sapphire tip, and a white ornate crown with a sapphire as it's center jewel.
Lucerna on the other hand, is neither. They have no facial features, except for a mouth... wait... Let me rephrase that. Lucerna's facial features are covered by a bright light, except their smile. Their flat body is only covered by a thin yellow cloth, wrapped around. Their yellow hair styled to look like lightning pointed down. A bright light
Hmm... What bothers me the most is that they're hot. Why are they hot? You know what? No. They're your children. Shut it, EDP.
I look to the latter half and saw their amazing transformation.
Libertad looks like an Art Teacher, loosely worn green robe, underneath is a rainbow-colored t-shirt. his green hair flies freely as if air keeps on blowing it back. He looks so young too... maybe like a 17 year old kid. He has slippers too, that's good, because his other siblings are barefooted.
I love Cere's appearance more. She has cute glasses on her round face, short brown hair, combed very nicely, brown formal clothing, like an old style of an accountant's uniform, leather belt, black slacks, and high heels, with a thick leather-covered book.
I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but.. i think Nameless didn't change, at all. Just like me, a shadowy, gasseous body, but with purple effects around their body. They have purple eyes too, no mouth... do I look like that too?
After checking my six children, they seem to be normal too. They form a circle and seem to be whispering to each other. I couldn't quite hear them, but I'm sure they're speaking in English.
Just a couple of minutes, All of them separate and leave. Why?
I follow... Serenitas and find her in the planet I made. She's making it rain all around the planet and making an ocean out of it. I move to Libertad and he's making a clouds and whirlwinds all around the world also. Pira is making Volcanoes on land and underwater. Lucerna are popping some of the suns I made, and Cere is making planets from the products of supernovas made my Lucerna. Nameless somehow was able to move the black hole I made away from the suns i made.
I let them do their thing, as Nameless seems to be taking lead, and ordering the others on what to do. With Cere as the second-in-command. I sit back, relax, and watch them make their own planets.
I like this.
It's so nice.
I might need to do something for them, but I'll worry about it when I get there.
