《Beyond Gods》Prologue second part: Origin
Advertisement
The 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' stood there in awe, observing the godly creature and the wonderful light show.
After a lifetime of living in utter nothingness they never witnessed such a beautiful sight, only slaughter and destruction were there agenda.
The lights displayed every colour possible, one more beutiful than the other and it did not end there. Soon the lights started to assimilate here and there.
The result were rainbow coloured bubbles scattered around the void. There was no timespan in which this development took place, it was instantaneous.
Soon the balls of light started to expand in size. The 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' were not satisfied with the current course of action and started to destroy one light ball after the other. But for each light ball that was destroyed God created two more to fill its place.
The 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' started to fall into fit of rage and their attacks got even stronger, destroying thousands of the light balls in the process.
In their rage they did not notice the cries of agony emitting from the destroyed spheres, the cries of billions falling to death.
Only now God took notice of these aggressors.
What! How could I not notice them?
God was clearly startled that he did not sense the presence of the 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls', it was only natural to feel like that, afterall this was God's domain, he held absolut authority over this place.
(God) "Wicked creatures, what do you think you are doing?!". His voice reverberated throughout the void, shaking the infinite space in the process.
The 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' might be strong but they had no noteworthy intelligence, or else they might have already stopped their useless battle.
They just looked at God in wonder, all the while destroying more of the colourful spheres.
(God) "So... It seems you won't stop with the fighting. Be gone!". God cried out, with a hint of anger in his ancient voice.
Huge cages of light appeared over the 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls', drawing closer to each other until only one enormous cage remained in a void space between the light spheres.
Afterwards God left the void and entered a huge ball of light, towering over the other spheres.
The 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' started to trash around in the light cage but to no avail. The cage did not move at all, nor was it possibly to absorb it.
It was kinda ironic. The 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' were now bound in a deep abyss of nothingness. Ironic... ironic indeed.
Their small fit of rage slowly subdued and they resumed with killing each other.
Millenia after millenia passed, only a few of the 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' were remaining, exhausted by the endless fighting. Being so close to each other they learned tactics, like taking on one adversary with multiple allies, seeing how each of their 1 on 1 battles ended in the death of both sides.
In the cramped space they learned how to change their forms, that way they could maneuver around their 'prison' without being obstructed by the cage's walls.
In the course of changing their size they learned how to change appearance, or how to manifest an appearance at all.
In the past they were mere bundles of positive and negative energy, but now they focused this energy on just a few points. The result was astonishing.

The 'Unbounds' decided on a brutal but dignified appearance, celestial silver dragons with white wing membrans, brighter than any star or gamma-ray outburst (Brightest event in the observable universe). Their claws could cut reality apart, their fangs could penetrate space and time itself and their breath would ignite soul, body and mind.
Those that reached 'Adulthood', meaning they mastered to control their power, took the form of God as their model, resulting in the look of mechanical angels, with white wings that would illuminate every nook and cranny of infinity, swords that would simply rip through dimensions and armour so hard that not even super- and hypernova could scratch it.
The 'Abysalls' sticked partly with their misty forms, the mist was now just denser and spicked with giant maws and eyes all over it, a true abomination.
Like the 'Unbounds' the 'Abysalls' took a humanoid shape as well when they could control their power. I say humanoid but it was far from human.
They had no face just one giant mouth, an abyss so deep no light wil ever hope to reach the end of it, Their bodys were simple, purple black skin, two arms and two legs without any additional features, not even fingers or toes.
With the 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' now being able to manage their power the fights got even fiercer. The battles raged on for another thousand millenia until only a handful of survivors was left. And now they faced something unknown, maybe it was because of their humanoid shape or their increasing intelligence and mastery of their might... the fear of extinction.
In a last desperate attempt they tried to break the cage that would spell their certain doom. Unable to even make it budge they tried to come up with ways to sustain the survival of their races.
The 'Unbounds' quickly adapting to new situations were the first to take action, each of them took small shards of their soul and amalgamated them with each other, the 'Abysalls' keeping a watchful gaze on them copied their actions.
In the end a ball of pure white and pure black and heavily exhasuted 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' remained.
With each passing year they lost hope, the balls would just silently flow in the golden cage as if ridiculing their attempts to save their race.
Out of rage and their crushed hope the 'Unbounds' started to attack their respective sphere of white. The suppleid energy was used as a catalyst and soon the sphere started to bulge and deform. With new found hope the 'Unbounds' poured innumerable amounts of energy into the small sphere. The 'Abysalls' had to do the opposite, they drained all power from their black sphere and when movement was noticed the pull started to increase.
The end result were two small bodies of pure white with a tinge of silver and pure black with specks of purple.
The 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' were startled by the current development, seeing how these 'childs' had a humanoid stature meaning that they mastered their power already.
After regaining their power to replenish their souls the 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' started to create more of their second generation and soon they wared each other again.
It was just after another millions of years that they noticed that they lost the capability to share their souls and again they were thrown into the depth of despair and faced their inevitable destruction.

They cursed at God and banged on the cage but it showed no signs of breaking anytime soon, even the more powerful second generation looked like children hitting their parents legs while throwing a tantrum.
But now with the knowledge that they could produce a second generation and in the face of extinction they broke an unspoken taboo.
Both leaders of the second generation stood face to face to each other, they will die and they knew it, so as a last-ditch effort they ran straight into each other. Their powers distorting the void in the cage.
When both of them collided their fierce forces destroyed their bodies and only their souls remained, a cold white, reflecting anything and a warm black that would swallow everything.
The souls were drawn closer to each other, first only rotating at an incredible speed, like stars orbiting each other. Soon their speed could not stop the gravitational pull on both souls and they drew closer and closer until they touched each other.
The moment that both of these souls were in contact with the other a huge outburst of positive and negative energy occured, with all their attention drawn towards the souls of their leaders they did not notice the cracks appearing in the cage.
The black and white continued to drew closer until they were only one mass. The white and black started to devour or ignite the other, like they were sentinent beings, trying to conquer the unified soul for themselves.
It was a hopeless situation, the tug of war for supremacy in the soul raged on for another eons. At the same time the 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' were barely alive anymore, the oldest of them having lived for God knows how long, maybe googols of years or googolplexes even, a timespan noone would be able to comprehend.
They withered away and in a last attempt to at least bring birth to a thrid generation they used their remaining powers to infuse it into the soul. The ball grew lager but nothing else, just calmly floating in the void.
It was then that the 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' felt a huge surge of power, first they looked at the soul but it was still unmoving and soon their gazes were focused outside of the cage. A giant cut in reality, dimensions and spacetime itself appeared right infront of the cage. Out of the hole a golden radiance was emitted, putting the golden cage to shame.
Soon the radiance started to glance over the remnants of the huge bubles of light God created, the silent cries that were unheard to the 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' began to grew louder and assimilate with the golden light. Like the reincarnation of the devil itself the light turned darker and darker, faces and limbs popping out of the pillar of now evil, it had no colour to describe it, black and white do not mean good and bad or warm and cold, it was plain an evil light.
The light continued to scan the other remnants of the shattered light bubbles until everything was cleaned up. The light was now directed at the cage, at first nothing happened and the atmosphere became eerie. (What atmosphere? Lel)
But soon enough the light started to widen the cracks in the golde cage until they were wide enough to let the pillar move unobstructed.
Both, the 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' were terrified, they were not evil or good just neutral chaos, destroying everything without prejudice, and this was their first time they witnessed 'evil'.
The light slowly crept to the soul of white and black, the ghostly limbs, of what could only be the remnants of human like creatures, slowly started to clawed small holes in the sphere and flooded into it. When the whailing souls all migrated into the black and white ball the golden radiance of the beam was shown again.
The beam used the same crevices the souls had oppened and emerged into the sphere as well.
After the light vanished a soft feminine voice resounded throughout the void.
(???) "This is my gift and my punishment onto you. Live and die with it, young 'Origin'". The name 'Origin' was emphasized by the female voice, followed up by a cute giggle.
The light vanished and the cracks in the cage started to heal itself, as if it had only noticed its damage right now and began to tend its wounds. The 'Unbounds' and 'Abysalls' tried to open the cracks up again, obviously with no result.
With hung heads they turned to their only hope left and saw that the fight between white and black has subdued and mixed harmonously with each other, strongly resembling yin and yang, but in the center was another orb of golden and and a mix of other colours, howesoever one might look at it the mix of colours seemed eerie, evil and disturbing, it could be a new colour of its own.
The whole construct started to pulsate and convulse until a small human shape could be seen. Clearly dissatisfied with their thrid generation they closed in on the small figure only to see themselves crumble away to closer they got. Out of fright they pulled back from the creature and observed it.
The creature was small in comparison, only slightly above a human male. Its body was somehow see-trough yet one could see everything in it, I mean it, EVERYTHING!
Sometimes the body turned a darker shade and sometimes it became brighter. Unlike the 'adult' 'Unbounds and 'Abysalls' this creature had noticeable facial features. Its eyes slowly opened and watched its surroundings, it held a sort of dignity and regality, a god judging the peasants.
The eyes were both gold in colour with a black pupil with a white cross in the middle. On its forehead was a third eye that was vertically placed, its pupil was coloured in the evil, unknown mix of colours.
Behind the creature were two black stripes floating parallel to its back, at the hight of its shoulder blades. The black stripes opened like a fan and displayed a shining golden white membrane, blinding everyone in the vicinity.
The creature looked around its brethren and slowly opened its mouth, displaying shiny white fangs and a deep black abyss as a maw.
(Origin) "Fuuuuuuuck it feels good to be alive!!!!!".
The other creatures just stood there as Origin stretched his arms and legs like in some sort of anime or manga with an easygoing yet op Mc............sorry
