God's Apostle: Rebirth of a Lazy Genius

Chapter 11 Tale Of The Disgraced One

?Once upon a time... Millions of Years ago, Gods used to live in the World of Akarxia. They were the Kings And Sovereigns of the world ruling over countless humans who worshipped them.

In return, the humans gained powers beyond what they could ever imagine. The world was in peace and at the peak of civilization. People were blessed with the blessings of the various Gods.

Demeter of The Harvest, Khames The God of Wind, Raina The God of Water, Agni The God of Fire, Gaia The Goddess of Earth, Nur The Goddess of Sky, Nabu The God of Wisdom. And then there was the God of Creation - The Holy Father who created the Gods who then went on to create more.

Countless such Gods and Goddesses were on Akarxia in that Golden Era and kept the world balanced. Almost every aspect of living or the world in existence had a God or Goddess who controlled that aspect and gave blessings of those aspects to humans.

No one knew why the Gods left their Holy Sanctuary and descended on Akarxia and the reason they gave the humans blessings as well as keeping the world balanced.

People were content with what they had. they had enough food, facilities, and strength, and most of all, the world was in proper order. Ordinary people revered the supreme and did not dare cause too much trouble for fear that all would be lost.

For countless years, this went on and everything was like a paradise. The civilization thrived even more but then the unfortunate happened.

The Disgraced God who was also the counterpart of the God of Creation used trickery by illustrating a facade of having been sealed and created the 'Gods of Sins' who invaded the human world discreetly and darkened human hearts with their vile influence.

The World Order gradually began breaking down as the humans that were satisfied with what they had begun to ask for more and more, they even thought of aspiring to become Gods themselves. This darkness strengthened The Disgraced One and war between the Gods broke out.

The God of Creation loved all his children and his creations and that's why he was pained by the carnage and the imminent downfall of the paradise that once was and made a decision to destroy everything. He was greatly disappointed by the humans who became greedy and selfish, they were indirectly his children as well.

Just as he was about to act on his decision, the God of Prophecy who despite being one of his children was a strange existence different from others due to unknown mutations stepped forward. He smiled calmly and whispered something in the ear of the Creator and somehow also convinced him to change his judgment.

And then, he who created all the Gods performed the 'Rite of Sealing' and created a space-time continuum that was strong enough to contain all the Gods within it including himself and his counterpart.

It was said that this took so much power that all the Gods created by the Creator were weakened by 90%. The Allfather himself was the source of creation and could not spend his strength to maintain all creation, deal with the Disgraced One and maintain the Time-Space continuum all at the same time.

The Disgraced One was still not strong enough to defeat the Creator and not get sealed at the same time so he also used all the power of darkness gathered by the 'Gods of Sins' which also weakened the Gods of Sins by 90%.

It was said that this battle went on for over one million years as the Creator despite being stronger than anyone else was not able to finish the battle quickly as he also had to protect all his creations from the collateral damage.

But at last, after the battle of millennia... The Allfather claimed victory and sealed himself and all the Gods including the Gods of Sins and the Disgraced One in the Time-Space Continuum.

It is said that the battle to break out of that isolated realm still goes on to this date and no one knows what might be happening and who might come out victorious.

All the Gods left the world but the various powers and blessings they had given to the humans lived on from generation to generation.

The paradise was finished and the humans had no sovereign or ruler over them. Just as the blessings given by the Gods were passed on as so the seeds of Evil and Sin in the human heart also lived on. The lack of guidance and the immense power mixed in with the influence of Evil and Sins divided the humans as Good and Evil who fought each other for supremacy over the world.

The vast knowledge and the advanced civilization of before were ruined by the constant infighting and the world was filled with barbarians. So to speak, the world fell behind several times once again.

History took its course and gradually humans once again became civilized through the constant evolution of ideologies and from the influence of great leaders.

The moral values and the tale of paradise with the remaining knowledge of the blessings of The Gods were passed on from bloodlines.

Empires and Kingdoms; great men, and evil men came and disappeared as time went by and the circle continued. But what lasted to this day was the Church.

Ethan who was reading the storybook with quite an interest squinted his eyes as he flipped another page and finally arrived at the last page.

"Have Faith In the Symbol of the Allfather and lend him your strength so that he may be victorious and defeat the Disgraced One. We pray for his Victory and await the emergence of the era of Paradise! All hail the Holy Father!"

Ethan read out loud what was written on the final page in golden words. He also saw the three-dimensional symbol of the Allfather below the text with the official stamp of the Pope.

He closed the massive book with a thud and moved it aside and fell into deep contemplation.

Hours passed by but he was sitting on the bed like a statue in very deep thought. It was unlike him as he preferred to not spend too many brain cells on anything.

He finally opened his eyes after more time passed and yawned while stretching his arms and said, "How interesting... But is it the truth or just some bullcrap?"
