The Celestial Sphere gleamed with an eternal brilliance, a shimmering expanse of iridescent light that danced with ethereal colors. Its luminous mist swirled like rivers of liquid crystal, pulsing with a rhythmic energy that seemed to hum with the essence of creation itself. This was no ordinary realm—it was the seat of divine power, the cradle of all existence, crafted by the Creator's hands.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAmoeNc12ovI
The Creator gazed upon His masterpiece from a throne of pure light, His form obscured in an ever-shifting shroud of radiance.
376Please respect copyright.PENANA1JSMwt7dzS
He spoke a word—one that rippled through the void, igniting the very concept of existence. From His word came the first spark of life.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAwb8U6JwiMr
"I shall create a being," the Creator declared, His voice reverberating across the Sphere. "A purpose-driven entity, one whose sole reason for existence is to bring about my end."
376Please respect copyright.PENANAEDqiGM3OXm
With that decree, He shaped Azrael, the harbinger of death in His thoughts. Azrael stood tall, cloaked in a dark, flowing mantle, his face obscured by shadows, his wings vast and dark. He was no mere being; he was a paradox—a creation destined to unmake his Creator.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAVQQitEtc9K
"For you, Azrael, I forge this blade," the Creator said, stretching His hand into the void.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAru4M9gzVsV
Energy surged, coalescing into a magnificent sword, its edges glinting with an otherworldly sharpness. "This is Omni Slayer, MAVET—a weapon imbued with the Eternity Edge, a shard of myself. Only you shall wield it."
376Please respect copyright.PENANAVOg5AxGb9E
But as the endless flow persisted, Azrael faltered.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAFoFype7FVl
Though bound by divine purpose, he could not fulfill it. The Creator watched with disappointment.
376Please respect copyright.PENANA6W2GyezB27
"You have failed," He said, His tone heavy with divine authority. "You, who were meant to end me, now seek punishment for your failure."
376Please respect copyright.PENANA5HKI9Uk1hN
Azrael knelt, his head bowed low. "Confine me, my Lord, for I am unworthy."
376Please respect copyright.PENANAkmKnaeUUtV
And so, the Creator cast him into Mortvold, a desolate plane beneath the Celestial Sphere. There, Azrael lingered in solitude, accompanied only by his trusted servants: Vorgath, Xarenos, and Ankou—beings as enigmatic as their master.
376Please respect copyright.PENANADP7FoU7NT8
But the Creator’s work was far from complete.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0TrH0rXkR
"I shall create," He proclaimed once more. "For creation is my essence."
376Please respect copyright.PENANARJDhtvXEl5
With a single word, He brought forth the Twelve Dimensions, each brimming with raw energy and infinite potential. In the Twelve Dimensions, He created two beings whom He called His sons: Helios and Erebus.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAZUFDnZjDzS
Helios, radiant and eager, absorbed the Creator's teachings, his golden form a beacon of light. Erebus, darker and brooding, walked a path of his own, his thoughts often clouded with envy. The Creator entrusted them with a monumental task: to fill the Twelve Dimensions with life.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAv2RAm5JwCe
"My sons," He said, "you are to create as I have created. Let each dimension teem with existence, with beings of infinite diversity. Learn to wield Dio, the energy of creation, and bring forth life."
376Please respect copyright.PENANAT4yZK6yLZY
Helios and Erebus set to work.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAsGjDlUstPg
Satisfied with their progress, the Creator descended to Mortvold, granting Azrael a new purpose: to maintain the balance between life and death across the dimensions.
376Please respect copyright.PENANA8FE6twed1l
"A new assignment," Azrael murmured, his tone laced with hope. "Finally, I can be of use to my Creator."
376Please respect copyright.PENANAE2JyMCUSTF
From his solitude, Azrael created the Reapers, ranking them by strength and assigning them to different dimensions and worlds. They had their own realm, called Hell, harvesting souls and preserving the fragile cycle of existence.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAs9W72xin8X
"Lord Azrael," Vorgath said, his voice filled with curiosity, "could we take charge of the Twelve Dimensions?"
376Please respect copyright.PENANAmNWiOz4hP5
"Do as you wish, Vorgath," Azrael replied, his gaze fixed on a particular dimension and universe.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAu1mlqf5GwL
"If you can claim their emanation, it's yours to keep."
376Please respect copyright.PENANAX2XWNPjb6f
Helios, with boundless enthusiasm, shaped his creations with care and purpose, filling the dimensions with harmonious beauty. Erebus, however, took a different approach—his creations often reflected the chaos within his heart.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAvBKNeW9FIU
From his hands came Aion, his firstborn—a being of immense power and ambition. Helios, not to be outdone, created Aurora, his daughter, whose luminous presence rivaled the stars.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAHvdU7qnt9x
"Fill the dimensions with life," Helios said.
376Please respect copyright.PENANASCplEopTke
"Go forth and create," Helios and Erebus commanded their children, entrusting them with the same task their father had bestowed upon them. From the Eleventh Dimension to the First, the siblings and their bloodkin shaped worlds, birthing gods, creatures, and species of infinite variety.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAVBbY0bwwev
One day, Aurora knelt before her father, Helios.
376Please respect copyright.PENANApYm5WlZNDo
"Father," she said, "we have done as you commanded. The dimensions are brimming with life. What more would you have us do?"
376Please respect copyright.PENANAUqJ56hgNgg
Elsewhere within the Twelve Dimensions, Erebus awaited a report from his children. His second son, Hermes, appeared before him, his demeanor cautious.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAqBRlMnFNcj
"Father, we have fulfilled your will," Hermes said.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAWgHItAR3gg
"And where is Aion?" Erebus demanded, his voice sharp.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAIjms5CrybC
"Father, he remains with his creations within the Eighth Dimension," Hermes replied. "He asked me to deliver his message instead."
376Please respect copyright.PENANA8mRZ5mbUOB
"What is your greatest desire, Father? Perhaps I could be of help," Hermes said, kneeling before his father.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAXCiCuIuzKx
Erebus’s expression darkened.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAS1dOXWetcs
"Leave my sight!" he bellowed.
376Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q76ZTZnE9
As Hermes departed, Erebus clenched his fists, bitterness gnawing at him.
376Please respect copyright.PENANABBEbE0jiwb
"My father has always favored Helios," he thought. "Why is he allowed to walk freely within the Celestial Sphere, while I remain chained to the dimensions? I am greater than he is—more deserving."
376Please respect copyright.PENANA2xB1ynukgg
"My greatest desire," he said to himself.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAsE7hBOAjIB
"Why is it," Erebus muttered, "that Father smiles upon Helios, yet barely spares a glance for me? Why does He allow Helios to walk freely within the Celestial Sphere, while I am left outside?" he asked himself once more.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAYZg3ibPUbK
His envy grew, festering like a wound. Soon, it would boil over, threatening the fragile harmony of the Twelve Dimensions.

### ELYRIA
**The Eighth Dimension**
376Please respect copyright.PENANAZRr3wUfJVQ
Elyria, one of the planets within the Eighth Dimension, gleamed like a jewel amidst the cosmos. Yet its beauty concealed its harsh realities.
376Please respect copyright.PENANA5a5FxX0tP8
Aion observed his creations with pride. The planet Elyria, one of three within the dimension, stood as a testament to his vision. Yet, it was not without its challenges.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAqyhpWqBEGo
"Lord Aion," Nyx, one of his creations, spoke hesitantly, "why are we being crystallized at birth? Unable to wield Dio?"
376Please respect copyright.PENANAm3ltsFSNkq
Aion smiled, his expression calm yet enigmatic.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAY0TxgKYbKY
"Call me Father," he corrected gently. "The process you speak of is by design. Only the strongest among you shall survive. It is a law my father and his brother agreed upon. Strength comes through trials, and sealing you and your powers is but the first test."
376Please respect copyright.PENANA9OG1ekSg6F
"You just need to get stronger. Challenge every other god. Be the strongest—just like Father. Only the weak die off, just as you'd, Nyx," Mars laughed.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAqqCK957qID
"Don't listen to Mars," Aion assured Nyx. "You're not going to die like the others. I couldn't call myself your father if I just stood by and watched my children perish."
376Please respect copyright.PENANAezYIeIY8tN
"That being said, immortality can be taken away, right, Father? Beings who gain or are granted immortality are only called 'immortal' because they believe they are. Everything created must end someday. Nyx, you might not realize this, but we were all made as immortal beings. Growing stronger only reinforces that immortality—but even then, Father could erase it like a smudge. The higher the dimension and knowledge, the greater the power and authority."
376Please respect copyright.PENANAWOuoUv1VKn
Nyx frowned. "And those who cannot break free?"
376Please respect copyright.PENANA0xJDxDXPGa
"They are sent into oblivion," Sophos, Aion’s older daughter, replied with a sly grin.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2h3CRhgWl
"Do not fret," Aion said once more. "I wouldn't call myself your father if I allowed you all to perish."
376Please respect copyright.PENANAXvVsLVBUvM
Yet even within Aion’s domain, whispers of unrest began to stir.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAmhHoJtZt3a
Erebus’s envy and bitterness cast a shadow over the Twelve Dimensions, setting the stage for a conflict that would echo through eternity.
376Please respect copyright.PENANAohRNwMGEka
The Celestial Sphere, where the Creator watched His children from His ever-shifting throne beyond space—the seeds of rebellion had already begun to take root.
