Volume 4 Chapter 190 – Origin

“What do you want to know?” Athena picked up the cup of tea and drank it, ‘What could possibly worse than the pill he just fed me?’

“For starters, tell me why Medusa has to go through all of that?” Kisuke asked calmly. The previous smile on his face already disappeared.

Kisuke’s stare gave Athena an invisible pressure and she stuttered a little bit, “B-because it has to be done!”

“Hooh? Tell me the reason then.”

“…” Athena contemplated for a little bit before replying, “It’ll be easier to understand if you knew the whole story…” She sighed before continuing, “Do you know which came first? Humans or Gods?”

“Don’t know.” Even though Kisuke has theories who came first, he doesn’t have any supporting evidence.

“It’s the Gods…”

“What does it have to do with Medusa’s case?” Yoruichi from the side asked. Athena’s brows twitched but she has no further reactions, “Let me finish first…”

According to Athena, the Primordial Gods first arrive from a different star system when Earth is still unhabitable due to unknown reasons. But after they arrived, they didn’t settle down but instead started fighting among each other. The fight is on the scale of a war where it kept changing the face of the Earth every day.

After a long while, they stopped fighting due to many casualties and injuries. However, instead of returning where they came from, they decided to stay on Earth due to the discovery of the Dimensional Gap. They discovered that if you split up space near the Earth, they would open an entirely different Dimension. With remaining Primordial Gods, they split the Earth into many regions according to their factions and that’s the birth of many different Mythological Factions here on Earth.

With their power, they terraformed the Earth to suit their needs. They also started creating basic life forms with the help of their technology from their star system. The Primordial Gods has an almost infinite lifespan so they took their time to shape the Earth. From basic microorganisms until they become complicated life forms, they waited. They even annihilated the life they created multiple times due to it not reaching certain standards.

“Wait… So you’re saying that these Gods can create whatever they want?” Kisuke interrupted her. A certain being then surfaced from his mind, the Soul King, ‘Is he the same as these guys she is talking about?’

“Of course not. They can only create basic lifeforms and their evolution would depend on their initial settings and the environment they are in. And besides, there is a resource that they need to create a life which is limited.”

“And that is?”

“In this day… It’s called Soul or Spiritual Power.”

“…”

“Even inanimate objects need some of it to keep its form.”

“So you’re saying that these Gods can manipulate Spiritual Power?”

“Not quite… They needed their technology just to gather and inject it into something… And that’s my biggest question… Just how did you remove those chains from her? Just so you know… those chains are from the age of Primordial Gods.”

“You’re not the one asking questions here, lady. Continue your story.” Kisuke narrowed his eyes from her question, ‘It seems like soul manipulation is more amazing than I thought… Good thing I got this information here. Or else, I’ll be in hot water if some of my inventions regarding souls spread.’

“Ehem…” Athena averted her gaze and continued her story.

After more beings evolve with more complexity, the Gods decided to move away from Earth so that they wouldn’t influence life on it too much. Their solution is to open an isolated space inside the Dimensional Gap and create their own living spaces that are connected to the Earth. And that’s is the origin of Mount Olympus, Asgard, and many more.

It wasn’t long before they discovered the existence of Ophis which is floating around aimlessly in the Dimensional Gap.

Athena stopped speaking and eyed Ophis and noticed that she didn’t have any reaction from her story as she’s too busy with her snacks, ‘Is that really the Ouroboros Dragon?’ She wanted to believe otherwise but the aura she is currently emitting is too familiar for her. Shaking off these thoughts, Athena went on speaking.

The Primordial Gods tried to capture Ophis to study it but failed as it is too strong. And even if then can overpower it with their number, she could escape easily and finding her in the infinite Dimensional Gap isn’t very feasible. They only gave up when a few of them got killed by it.

They then quietly watch as the life on Earth grew, but it wasn’t long before a certain species slowly took the image of Gods.

“So that’s when the first humans appeared…”

“Right… They don’t know how they came into being but one popular belief among the Gods of that time is that their Divinity influenced their development. At first, they got scared due to the assumption that they are as strong as them and tried to destroy them promptly. But some of the Gods stopped them and proposed that they would check about these beings in their form themselves.”

Athena stopped and drank her tea again while Kisuke and Yoruichi patiently waited for her to continue since they didn’t have any urgent matter.

The first contact between Gods and Humans is successful. They now knew that they don’t have any threat to them and these Humans even started worshipping them as the Gods watch them from the sidelines.

What they didn’t expect though is the fact that Humans started developing very fast in terms of technology. This is where the theory of humans are being influenced by the Divinity of Gods gained more traction.

This unexpected development gained the Gods’ interest and started to actively get involved with them seeing where these Humans would go. It’s only around this time that Ophis started roaming Earth. It wasn’t until later that a new being roams the Dimensional Gap, which is now called the Great Red. And along with its appearance, a wave of Spiritual Power came from who knows where.

Maybe due to Ophis and Great Red’s influence and the abundance of Spiritual Power, all sorts of creatures with power were born and threatened the existence of Humanity. This is the part where they started giving blessings and helping humans defeat these creatures. It’s also this time that they discovered that Humans can conceive their child birthing the first Demi-Gods who are going to lead Humanity to fight back against the bizarre creatures which will be known today as Heroes.

But it’s also around this time that a certain being came into existence and that being will be called the Biblical God later.

“The Biblical God? How?” Kisuke and Yoruichi’s eyes widened at this revelation as they thought that the Biblical God is among those who came here from another star system.

“It’s the collective thoughts and wishes of the Human Race…”
