The beginning of creation 3

Finally, after ten years of relentless effort, the ecosystem of this planet was restored. New creatures spread across the planet, and this world, once devoid of life, came alive again. Even better than before. Me and Tiamat, after this great success, decided to take a step further: the creation of gods. Of course, Sumerian gods. But creating gods was no simple task. This process required the combined power of both me and Tiamat. However, this time the conditions were different. Divinity is not the same as imaginary species or humans. Gods, especially the first-generation gods, embody specific laws of the universe; it's as if they are the personification of a concept itself. That's why creating gods from nothing, even for Tiamat, was an impossible task.

Amadi, Shikama Doji, looked at Tiamat. Tiamat, with eyes full of excitement, stared back at Shikama Doji. It was clear that she too was extremely excited about this historic moment. They held each other's hands, and in the endless blue sky, a red and black sphere formed. This sphere was like the womb of a mother, and the sound of a heartbeat could be heard from it. It was as if it were alive. The enormous sphere, with a diameter of over a kilometer, began to shrink until it was about a hundred meters in size. Suddenly, cracks appeared on its surface, and like an egg hatching, the sphere split apart. Red and golden blood gushed out, and within this blood, small creatures the size of humans could be seen. They gently fell to the ground, like newborns just emerging from their mother's womb.

Shikama Doji and Tiamat slowly moved towards where the newly born gods had fallen. The gods calmly opened their eyes and looked around with curiosity. But they were not ignorant. They were born with knowledge that Shikama Doji had bestowed upon them. One of the gods, a handsome and muscular man, stared at Shikama Doji and Tiamat. Without any hesitation, he knelt down. The other gods followed suit and knelt as well. The knowledge this young god possessed told him that these two were his creators, his father and mother. The young god looked at his parents with curiosity and said in a respectful tone, "Great father and mother, please bestow upon us names."

Shikama Doji responded in a majestic tone, "Your name is Anu, the god of the sky, the one who rules over the heavens." Yes, this young god was Anu, the father of Ishtar and Ereshkigal, the father of future gods. Shikama Doji gently spoke the names of all the first-generation gods.

Enlil, another god, looked at Shikama Doji with respect and asked, "Great father, what is our duty?"

Shikama Doji clasped his hands together and whispered in a calm tone, "Duty?" The young gods stared at him in surprise, swallowing their saliva. Shikama Doji continued, "You have no duty. I have no expectations of you. You are free to do whatever you wish."

The young gods were astonished by this answer and looked at Shikama Doji with even greater respect. Perhaps their respect had reached the point of fanaticism. Tiamat, like a kind mother, began to guide them. Meanwhile, Shikama Doji wore a playful smile on his lips.

This was an experiment. In the main storyline, the gods lived under the rule of Abzu, and all their desires were suppressed by him. Gods are not beings without desires. On the contrary, they have desires and aspirations just like humans. That's why, in the original version, they rebelled. Now, Shikama Doji wanted to know what would happen if he gave them complete freedom. Would they, like their original counterparts, become consumed by pride and look down upon all other beings as inferior? Or would they become corrupt? This was an interesting experiment. Would the gods drown in their pride and superiority complex, or would Whatever the outcome, it was intriguing for Shikama Doji. This was a fascinating game to pass the time.
