A/N: Pat-reon: HelloDarkness07- Chapter 36!
~~~
A few days after my fight with Satannish, I was back to roaming the planet, looking at new things. It was.. embarrassing, that I passed out after witnessing just how strong my mother is, but I got over it immediately.
I'm not weak. My mother is just.. so far beyond my scope, that it's not even funny. Maybe, someday I will get that strong. But that day is still too far away.
At least, I was just a bit weaker than Satannish, a Hell Lord. So that's a relief. I was holding back my Cosmic Energy, actively. If I had used Cosmic Energy to attack him, it would have been more equal. Definitely.
Speaking of Satannish, once mother had defeated and bound him with her Magic, Agamotto had taken him away and sent him back to Hell. How? He killed him obviously. It just took him a long time to find a suitable spell to do it and then prepare the spell.
It's not like "Avada Kedavra!", boom he's dead. He's a Demon, and a Hell Lord. He heals from almost every injury on his body, and his soul can't be killed by normal methods.
So, Agamotto cast that spell, which destroyed every cell of Satannish's body, and sent him back to Hell. Although, Agamotto did make sure to trap him there for as long as he can. But, he's a demon, so he'll probably get free soon enough anyway.
I would have asked to be taught the spell, but realized something. It's just not my style. I'd rather behead an enemy than spell them to death. Spells are still an option, but a last one. If I find an enemy like Satannish, I'm definitely calling for Agamotto.
After waking up, I did learn a few things. One, despite being the son of two extremely powerful women, I'm terribly weak. It's a matter of age too, obviously. Mother is 3.5+ Billion Years old, while Mum was some 9 Billion Years old. She was born from a Celestial Egg, within this Universe itself, and was not amongst the ones that were born in the First Cosmos.
And two, Demon Lords have contingency plans for almost everything, so if I encounter another one, I'd have to make sure to keep them under consideration.
Speaking of my strength, I am 184 years old. For a God so young, I'm pretty strong. Most Gods stay at the strength just a few steps above Mortals for a few centuries, at least. Of course, the Children of Skyfathers are stronger, but even they too stay at a strength level for many centuries.
If I had to put a number on it, I would distribute everyone within Classes. Suppose each class addition is one Ton of weight the individual can lift easily, without any external addition of Magic, Cosmic Energy, etc.
So, Class 1 beings can lift 1 Ton weight in the maximum, and so on.
Mortals are all within Class 1. At most, the strongest Mortal can lift 1 Ton, and not even a bit more. But, as I found yesterday, Demon deals can allow them superior strength.
Then come the Demigods, which although considered Mortal, are a bit stronger than normal Humans. They have a cap of Class 10. Of course, some Demigods can become Gods, like Scathach did, and further increase their strengths. But, Scathach wasn't a Demigod, no. She was the daughter of one, which makes her ascension that much more impressive.
Next, are the young Gods. Young meaning younger than a 1000 years, and physically younger than a 25 year old human. They are at least at Class 10, and can get up to Class 25. They stay at this level of strength for a few centuries, and then at some moment in time, start increasing in strength again. The time of their increase in strength can vary, from God to God.
Of course, there are those who are stronger than normal, even in their young phase, like Ganesha, Thor, Baldur, Ares, and the younger Skyfathers. This class also contains most Gods of Strength, and War.
When the young Gods grow into proper Adult Gods, they range in strength from Class 30 to Class 70. It honestly depends on the God themselves. Some Gods don't fight physically, and they're weaker. Some have a different Divinity, etc.
Again, those like Thor, Hercules, Baldur, Ganesha, Ares, etc are stronger than the normal Gods, ranging from Level 70-100.
Then come the Skyfathers. They're the most difficult to place within a class, as I haven't gotten much surveillance on them even through my visions. From the stories Mother has told me though, I can say that they are Class 100+, with an upper limit being in the thousands.
And it's not just Skyfathers that count here. Thor, the current one despite being just a God is within this class. Same with Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu who are not the Skyfather of the Daevas, but are still stronger than the Skyfather.
Obviously, in desperate times, any of the beings can exceed their upper limits. Same for beings that use some form of Magic, or an Energy source, to increase their strengths. So these classes are not full proof.
I myself am around Class 30 right now, when I'm not using my Cosmic Energy. When I do use it, I effectively double my strength, and get to Class 60. So, yes, while I'm weak, as compared to most beings out there, I am still stronger than what I was supposed to be at this age.
Satannish was around Class 45, if I had to guess. His punching power is the only way I can safely estimate it, and boy did he punch.
Scathach is around Class 60 herself, which is amazing for a Demigod descendant turned God. Agamotto, who used to be a mortal Homo Sapien, is now at Class 60-70, physically. Mystically, he's the strongest there is.
Gaea, my mother, was someone I can't even put in a Class. She's thousands of times stronger than me. She's a few times stronger than Uatu, who is a Cosmic Being!
Speaking ot Cosmic Beings, they too cannot be put on the scale. I won't even go there. Celestials, and Galactus, can all literally hold planets in their palms. As for Abstracts, well.. let's change the topic.
So, once I woke up and recovered my strength, I began roaming again, the weight of the lost mortal souls heavy on my mind. I did make sure they got proper funerals, by burning their bodies on a pyre, and spent 2 days in mourning.
Sure, I did not know those mortals, but their death is kind of my fault. If I hadn't killed that Kill switch Sorcerer, they wouldn't have died. But, I also don't know that he didn't plan on killing himself anyway.
So, yes, I mourned the lost souls for two days, and then went back to walking.
Right now, I was just resting, not wanting to start training yet. I had realized something that made sense, but I did not know in the beginning, while roaming the planet.
Humanity here is more advanced, genetically, than back home. I was not a history buff, but I do know that Modern Humans, in my previous Universe, only appeared like 200,000 years before my time. And by modern, I mean those that are distinguishable from other primates. Homo Sapiens.
But here, Homo Sapiens have lived for a few years now. I mean, they've just begun appearing, with Homo Erectus still aplenty, but it's too soon!
How many types of humans there currently are, you might ask. Well, first, as I said, there's Homo Erectus and the Homo Sapiens. They're still dumb savages though and will be, for a few hundred thousand years at least.
Then, there are the Elderspawn Humans. They're the descendants of the Elder Gods, Hybrid humans. They look mostly human, but some have animal or demonic looks. Along with them, are the mortal descendants of Gods.
Some Gods don't care that the mortals here are dumb, and just want to get rid of their horny. So, mortal Demigods were born.
These Elderspawn humans, and the God-children can talk, but don't have much in the way of Civilization. There are civilizations, but not too many. Also, most of the current Sorcerers of Earth are from this group. Yes, even the bloody Sons of Satannish.
Obviously, there are different tribes of the different races of humans. Some tribes only contain one of the races, while some are made of both Homo Sapiens and Homo Erectus.
And every God-children tribe is being looked after by the respective Pantheons. While they didn't find me, or didn't mind me observing the humans, I still did not risk pissing them off.
I'd rather not fight entire Pantheons, thank you very much.
Anyway, I was currently taking a break from observing the mortals, while resting on a Riverside. I had camped here this evening, and was planning on spending a few days here.
Why? The group of Elderspawn descendants that lived close to here were interesting, that's why. They were somewhat superpowered, but it can be attributed to their ancestors.
Most had strength around class 5, which is strong for mortals, and had one animal quality or the other. Yup, you guessed it. They're the descendants of my own mother. Although mortal.
But, I'm not going to start studying them yet. For now, I'll just lay back, and sleep.
---
Lightning thunders, and the light shows two figures, both of equal height, fighting each other. One was a being covered in Black, with a vampiric face, while the other was a being dressed in a Golden armour.
Just by looking at it you could tell that the Golden Armour was Divine, and the being wearing it, a God.
Around the two figures, were dead bodies of similar Golden armoured Gods, all of them with black spiderweb like black scars on them.
As the beings clash again, the God spins his spear, and sends the King in Black flying.
Gritting his teeth, the God whispers, "I can't fight him here, not after he's killed every one, mortal and Divine. The lack of life is making me weaker by the minute. God of Life can't fight on a dead planet, what a joke."
Shaking his head, he ducks down, dodging a swipe by the King in Black, and rushes forward, holding the enemy tightly.
"Forgive me, mortals, but I need your help." He whispers again, and pushes the Light within him forward, thankful that the Light had chosen his Pantheon as it's Champion.
Together with the being held firmly in his arms, struggling to get free, the God flies into space at infinite speed and within a minute, crash into the ground of a planet, this one filled with life of Mortals, although many times weaker than the previous planet.
'This planet does not have Gods?!' he thinks, while Knull finally gets free.
They resume their fight again, this time the God holding his own, just a bit stronger than before. But, alas, it was all for none.
Within a few minutes of fighting, Knull manages to stab the God in his chest, while at the same time getting stabbed in the shoulder by the spear.
Just before dying, the God sees that they were fighting near a mortal settlement, and decides to save them. Summoning every last bit of his energy, he banishes Knull into the deep Space, far away from this planet.
The mortal, angry at the Gods for ignoring his plight, and daring to fight near his own house, beheads the dying God with his own spear, unknowingly becoming a minor God himself.
Before being banished, Knull mistakenly leaves behind a small part of his All Black, which while not enough to even possess anyone, is enough to give a minor boost to the being connected to it.
So, the mortal gets a black tattoo on his chest, and claims the Divine Spear of the God of Life for himself, while promising ti himself that he will kill all the Gods in the Universe.
Stabbing the spear in the ground, he yells, "I, GORR, PROMISE YOU GODS, THAT YOU WILL DIE!!"
Thousands of years after his proclamation, as he's almost dying at the hands of a Skyfather of a Pantheon, a black patch of darkness falls from the sky, and connects with him.
His dying body starts healing, and with one swipe of his new black Spear, he kills the Skyfather by splitting him in two.
"Haha! Hahaa! HAHAHA! MWAHAHAHA!!" The God Butcher laughs, tasting the blood of the now dead God still on the spear.
---
I breathe in one hard breath, getting awake and out of the Vision, sweating a lot. That.. was one hell of a vision. There's finally someone who scares me just as much as Knull.
So, Knull did not just war with Celestials. There was another group of Gods, Golden Armoured Gods, that warred against him, and were subsequently killed.
"I.. should probably tell mother about Gorr. I doubt Mother knows about him, and she should be ready in case he comes here to fight the Gods." I mumble, getting up and rubbing my face.
He's already shown capable of flying through space, so there's no doubt that this.. Gorr will come here, if he doesn't die before.
Rubbing my head, I wonder to myself, 'Was one God Killer not enough, Queen?' and only get one thunder in return.
