Hierarchy of the Gods □

I-THE FIRST GODS : ARCHITECTS OF THE COSMOS

1. The Genesis of Chaos:

The Foreexistence: The Primordial Chaos

Before anything else, there was only the Primordial Chaos, a shapeless and conscienceless mass. This Chaos was neither empty nor plenitude, but a raw substance, a cosmic soup where all possibilities were intertwined. It was a state of absolute and unchanging equilibrium. A formless essence composed of infinite potentials.

This Chaos was neither good nor evil, neither light nor darkness—it was the perfect balance between all possibilities.

From this state emerge the First Gods, conscious entities shaped by the subconscious desires of Chaos.

Each god embodied a fundamental concept of existence, such as order, disorder, time, space, or energy.

2. The Awakening Of primordials Gods :

-The First Gods:

However, this balance carried with it a latent tension. An explosion of cosmic will—a "divine Big Bang"—upset this balance and gave birth to the First Gods, embodiments of the fundamental principles of existence:

Nyxhalia, the Essence of Nothingness and Infinity.

Tharion, the Flow of Time.

Eryndra, the Source of Life and Energy.

Ankaryos, the Pillar of Order and Laws.

These entities were not born as conscious beings from the start. They slowly emerged from Chaos, growing in form and thought as they shaped their environment.

Each god became aware of his singularity and his role in the cosmic balance. These gods are abstract incarnations, closer to cosmic forces than to anthropomorphic beings.

Their role was not to rule, but to structure reality to allow the emergence of life and existence.

3. The Creation of the Universal Pillars:

After their emergence, the First Gods became aware of their role: to give shape to Chaos. Together, they created the Universal Pillars, which support reality itself:

Ankaryos (Order): He structures Chaos into immutable laws. Space, time and dimensions are born under his will.

Nyxhalia (Chaos and Void): She opposes Ankaryos to preserve freedom from chaos, preventing existence from being totally rigid.

Tharion (Time): It separates formless eternity into past, present, and future, allowing change to be born.

Eryndra (Life and Energy): She breathes the spark of life into the void, paving the way for the creation of mortal and immortal beings.

4. The first conflicts:

Nyxhalia violently opposed Ankaryos, believing that structuring Chaos was a violation of his essence. It created rifts in the Pillars, giving rise to the Forces of Disorder (precursors to natural disasters and destructive forces).

Tharion clashed with Eryndra, arguing that Life could disrupt the natural flow of Time.

These conflicts caused distortions in the nascent reality, leading to the creation of unforeseen elements such as black holes, time paradoxes, and alternate dimensions.

II-The CREATION OF THE PANTHEONS

1. Fragmentation of power:

Once reality stabilized, the First Gods realized that their power was too great to interact directly with the world without destroying it. They decided to fragment, giving rise to pantheons of divine entities that were less powerful but capable of ruling over specific domains.

Each First God divided his essence to create subordinate gods:

Nyxhalia fathered gods related to darkness, discord and nothingness, such as Hades, Anubis, Lucifer, Yanluo, Thanatos, Hajun, Loki...

Tharion gave life to entities of time and destiny, such as Chronos, Tsukyomi, Amaterasu...

Eryndra created gods of nature and life, such as Shiva, Buddha, and Sun Wukong, Susanoo...

Ankaryos fashioned gods of order and power, such as Zeus, Odin, and Poseidon, Hermès, Thor etc...

Sun Wukong was formed from a celestial stone imbued by the winds of Chaos created by Eryndra.

Hermes: The Messenger of the Worlds and Guardian of the Borders

-Origin: The Essence of the Paths

As the First Gods established the universal laws, a problem arises: how to connect the dimensions, realms, and souls scattered across the vastness of the Multiverse? To solve this challenge, Ankaryos, master of the Universal Pillars, created a pure essence embodying movement and communication: Hermes.

Birth: Hermes was born from the fusion between the cosmic winds and the energy currents of the Pillar of Energy. He is literally the emanation of the paths between the worlds, able to travel across dimensions.

Hermes is the mediator between gods and mortals, the guardian of forbidden passages, and the bearer of divine messages. It also plays a crucial role in regulating wandering souls, ensuring that they reach their destination.

Hermes maintained a cordial relationship with everyone, even with the gods renowned for their duplicity like Zeus or Odin, because he brings crucial information and acts as a spy when necessary.

Apollo and Heracles :Champions of Humanity

-Origin: The Rise of Mortals

When mortals began to prosper, they attracted the attention of the gods. Some mortals were chosen to be exalted and elevated to the rank of deities.

Apollo, inspired by the light of truth and the beauty of art, became the god of the sun and perfection. His birth was blessed by Zeus, but he rose on his own merits.

Heracles, a demigod, overcame impossible trials to prove his worth. He achieved immortality by embodying the resilience and indomitable strength of humans.

Ashura: The Avatar of Cosmic Rage and Eternal Combat

-Origin: Blood of Chaos

When the First Gods fashioned the universe from the Primordial Chaos, they neglected to fully purify certain regions of the emerging realities. These areas gave way to whirlwinds of hatred and conflict, a raw essence of Chaos still untamed.

From one of these chaotic pockets, a figure emerged: Ashura, an entity forged in violence and pain. He was not born to create, but to fight, an absolute warrior whose raison d'être is to confront injustices and imbalances.

Unlike the gods of wisdom or creation, he seeks neither to build nor to destroy, but to prove that only force can transcend limits.

Ashura despises gods who manipulate and plot (such as Loki or Lucifer) and respects those who fight for noble causes (such as Thor or Heracles).

Lucifer, Hajun, Loki: Rebellions against the Order

-Origin: Divine Dissonance

Lucifer and Hajun are anomalies, born to challenge the order established by the gods.

Hajun was born from the remnants of a destroyed reality of Nyxhalia, he became a deity, a being of pure destruction, seeking to bring back the original Chaos.

Lucifer, an angel created by Nyxhalia to watch over the universal laws, rebelled against the rigidity of these laws. He embodies freedom and knowledge, but also pride and corruption. He later sets himself up as the god of darkness.

Loki is born in a collision of disordered thoughts Nyxhalia. Born to wreak havoc, he used his cunning to manipulate gods and mortals, oscillating between ally and foe of the divine forces.

Yanluo, Anubis, Hades, Thanatos : The Judges of Death

-Origin: The Nexus of Souls

When Eryndra, the goddess of Life, breathed into creation, an imbalance appeared: life accumulated endlessly. Nyxhalia, as the guardian of balance, created a rift in the Pillars of Energy and Life, forming the Nexus of Souls, a place where the souls of living beings would return after death.

Yanluo was born directly from this rift as the avatar of impartial judgment and reincarnation. He embodies implacable justice, guiding souls to their own destiny.

Anubis, formed from fragments of dark and luminous energy, became the ferryman of souls in the afterlife, a guide between the world of the living and the realm of the dead.

Hades symbolizes sovereignty. He claimed the subterranean realm, distinguished by his authority over souls and his ability to store the residual energy of the dead.

Nyxhalia, guardian of the Void and the Void, feels the need for an additional entity to embody death not as an end, but as a natural transition in the cycle of life.

She fuses fragments of her essence with the residual energy of the Nexus of Souls, giving birth to Thanatos, the embodiment of inevitable and peaceful death.

Thanatos, Last to emerge is ranked on the same level as Yanluo, Anubis, and Hades, forming a quartet of gods dedicated to managing the various aspects of death and souls.

Relationships with the Other Gods:

Yanluo: A direct collaborator in the judgment of souls, but with a more rigorous approach.

Anubis: Partner in the transport of souls, each with complementary responsibilities.

Hades: Ruler of the underground realm, with whom Thanatos shares the duty of maintaining order in the afterlife.

Buddha: Mutual respect, because Buddha offers a path of enlightenment that can influence the destiny of souls.

These four gods, though distinct, collaborated to establish the balance between life and death, but each with their own vision, which led to occasional conflicts.

Zeus, Thor, and Poseidon: Masters of the Elements and Sovereignty

-Origin: The War of the Sky and the Elements

When Ankaryos structured space and dimensions, fragments of his essence fell into three domains: the sky, the sea, and the earth. These fragments imbued themselves with natural forces and gave birth to powerful gods linked to the elements.

Zeus was born from the raging sky, a living storm that became conscious. He forged for himself a human form, armed with lightning and bearer of heavenly authority.

Thor, emerging in a more brutal cosmic storm, embodies brute force and the protection of the human realms. His birth was accompanied by thunder, and he received Mjöllnir, a hammer forged from the heart of a dying star.

Poseidon emerged from the abyss when the oceans, created by Eryndra, rebelled against the order established by Ankaryos. He tamed the currents to rule the seas, wearing the trident as a symbol of his dominion.

Odin emerged as an embodiment of warrior wisdom, a strategist capable of unifying the realms under his authority. He sacrificed himself to the World Tree to obtain infinite knowledge, which allowed him to dominate the Nine Worlds.Odin, in order to have infinite knowledge, had to make a pact with Yggdrasil, which cost him the division of his essence in two: Odin is now divided into two gods named Vorlindr and Tyrfingr.

Buddha and Shiva: The Gods of Awakening and Destruction

-Origin: The Cycle of Creation and Destruction

After the initial stabilization of reality, Eryndra discovered an anomaly: existence stagnated without destruction. She released part of her essence to generate entities capable of regulating the cycle of birth, destruction, and renewal.

Buddha was born as the embodiment of enlightenment. It represents transcendence, spiritual balance, and liberation from the shackles of the cycle, offering an alternative path to destruction and despair.

Shiva emerged in return, embodying the destruction necessary to allow rebirth. His power is the cosmic fire that consumes worlds so that they can be reborn in a new form.

2. The Pantheons in their Domains:

Each pantheon was assigned to a region of the universe and responsible for regulating an aspect of it:

The Olympians (Zeus, Hades, Poseidon...): Responsible for ruling the Earth, the Sky and the Oceans.

The Aesir and the Vani (Odin, Thor, Loki...): Guardians of the Nine Norse Worlds.

The Japanese Kami (Amaterasu, Susanoo, Tsukyomi... ): Protectors of the natural and spiritual balance of mythical Japan.

The Hindu Deities (Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma... ): Regulators of destruction, preservation and creation.

The Judges of Death (Yanluo, Anubis, Hades, Thanatos... ): Guardians of the passage of souls between life and the afterlife.

These subordinate gods took shape according to the laws of the worlds they were to rule (the Titans for the Earth, the Aesir for the Nine Worlds, the Kami for mythical Japan...).

These pantheons were designed to rule over the different aspects of reality, with each group having a specific domain (sky, sea, earth, death, war... ).

Reasons:

The First Gods knew that their power was too great to interact directly with creation without destroying it.

By creating hierarchical pantheons, they established a balance between order and chaos through intermediaries.

III-UNIVERSAL LAWS:

1. Establishment:

The First Gods imposed fundamental laws to protect reality from the forces of Chaos:

The Law of Order and Disorder: No pantheon or force can completely dominate the universe; The balance must always be maintained.

The Law of Death and Renewal: All that is created must one day perish to make way for renewal.

The Law of Duality: Every force has its opposite (light and darkness, chaos and order, creation and destruction).

The Law of Free Will: Mortals must be able to choose their own destiny, even in the face of God's will.

The Law of the Cycle: No deity is allowed to have sentimental relations with mortals.

2. The Rebellion of the other Gods:

The subordinate gods, having gained some autonomy, began to compete with each other for control of mortals and the elements.

The First Gods, unable to meddle directly in the affairs of the pantheons, became passive observers, allowing the universe to shape itself through these conflicts.

The pantheons, ambitious and jealous of their power, began to violate these laws:

Zeus, Buddha, Hajun, Odin obsessed with absolute domination, tried to suppress Free Will.

Loki, through his cunning, sought to disturb the Balance by favoring darkness.

Lucifer rebelled against the imposed order, attempting to destroy the Cycle by creating a corrupted immortality.

These transgressions sparked divine wars between pantheons, leaving scars on reality (such as natural cataclysms or the birth of several mythological creatures).

IV-THE AVATARS OF THE GODS :THE MANIFESTATIONS OF THE DIVINE

In the universe of my story, the gods, while immensely powerful, cannot interact directly with creation without risking unbalancing the cosmic order they themselves have established. To do this, they use avatars, physical or spiritual manifestations that act as extensions of their divine essence.

What is an Avatar?

An avatar is a partial projection of a god's power and consciousness into a lower plane, often in human or semi-divine form. Each avatar embodies a specific aspect of the god who created them, such as their wrath, wisdom, or elemental power. These manifestations allow the gods to influence the mortal world without directly imposing their total presence on it.

An avatar is only a fraction of the power of a god. Although he is extraordinarily powerful compared to other beings, he can be defeated or destroyed but this will have no effect on the god who created him. This means that you can destroy multiple avatars of a god and he won't have any damage. All gods have avatars and their avatars develop a consciousness of their own and act independently, which can often lead to conflicts with their creator, but they still remain obedient to their true form.
