Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
---------------------
Unfortunately, it wasn't always peaceful with the deities. For reasons unknown, the deities always had clashes with one another.
Their battles were cataclysmic, shaking the very foundations of the cosmos.
"Deities hmm? Unexpected..." Gustav thought, "beings of such immense power that their battles could affect entire worlds. Where are they now? And how did the Slarkovs survive in such a time?"
The playback showed one such battle, taking place just outside their solar system. The deities clashed with a force that sent shockwaves rippling through space.
Even though the battle was far from Humbad, the residual energies from the conflict were enough to cause catastrophic damage on the planet.
Gustav's eyes widened as he saw the planet shake, the ground splitting open and buildings crumbling.
