The forgotten gods

Gods

Beings that are so powerful that the only word capable of describing them is omnipotence. Even if none of them were omnipotent, the very things that they did, their nature and their entire existence defined what could be and couldn’t be done for all of existence. These gods however were forgotten overshadowed by beings that showed that there were things above these gods. Doing things that these gods couldn’t do and would never be able to do so.

As the gods were forgotten they grew hatred towards existence. You need to know that these gods were truly benevolent many saying they were embodying good and mercy itself but when new gods had showed up and overshadowed them the beings forgot about the old gods.

These old gods that were once kind and merciful turned to things so grotesque that when seen by the naked eye they will drive beings insane. The reason for it is because they grew jealous towards the new gods not that they were stronger than them they didn’t care about strength but that the beings started to love these new gods. That is what made these forgotten gods envy thew new gods the beings the ones they thought loved them and admired them threw them away the moment new and more powerful ones appeared.

The gods as they were gods had divine power but this divine power that was once so pure corrupted itself to dark divinity. This dark divinity was like poison to these gods as they were never exposed to such divinity with the thing that their own divinity all of it had turned to this form of dark divinity.

The dark divinity twisted their bodies to unnatural shapes and made the concepts that all had been applying to them twist together which causes beings to go insane when seeing them. They are not causing insanity, well not intentionally, at least they are unaware of how they look. Not only unaware they are blinded in like a delusion of theirs because they had not been forgotten not completely. There were still beings who believed in these gods which makes it confusing how these gods concluded that they were forgotten and that no being remembers them anymore.

However, that is not well none with some believers thinking it is the fault of the new gods that had come suddenly and replaced the old ones. Speaking of the new gods these new gods are enemies with the old ones. While they are superior to the old ones the old ones are giving a big fight towards the new ones as their dark divinity is like a poison towards beings with divinity, they can cause even the strongest of the new gods to crumble to themselves as their divinity is being corrupted.

Even in delusion these old gods still protect the existence no matter how much hatred they have against the existence for “forgetting” them. They know their true enemy are the new gods even when they have been poisoned and turned to eldritch like beings. Even when a universe is being put to threat or every universe that exists, they will protect the universe even when they must risk their life through it.

They truly love existence, but their numbers are diminution because the old gods are incapable of reproducing nor creating things like them. That is what made them also unique unlike the new gods the old gods were all unique to their own each representing/embodying a very concepts but the new gods are not like them.

The new gods can represent many concepts at once even make children that embody a sub concept of one big concept. That is why the old gods feared the new gods a bit as they were too different as if they were more a living being or as they were called from the old gods “A physical entity”. The old gods didn’t exist as physical aspects but more on a metaphysical scale with this part not having changed that much just, they are if not often between these two lines now thanks to the dark divinity having poisoned them.

That is what the old gods are poor gods that are in delusion trying to fight for their very existence against beings that can reproduce and will never have a shortcoming.

## Powers/abilities

The old gods had many abilities but with their divinity corrupted they lost most of their powers or them having been lessened to much weaker things that they were capable of doing or to new form of power which is all the same with the forgotten gods.

Dark Divinity: Referred to as dark divinity by the new gods is the divinity that the forgotten gods are using. This divinity filled with corruption cannot do any healing or perfect resurrection of other beings. This divinity is literal poison towards any being that has divinity in them causing them to corrupt and turn to eldritch beings. Divinity will cause madness to non-divine beings over a period depending on how strong they are and the amount of dark divinity the being had been attacked with. Therefore, they are even capable of killing the new gods thank to the dark divinity, but the dark divinity does stop to work after a being surpasses a certain amount of strength which is when the forgotten gods must combine their power to have effect such beings with their dark divinity.

Virtual Immortality: they are not fully immortal as their numbers are diminishing. However, they are close to being immortal. They can heal from virtually any wound by not coming back when they have been annihilated with nothing remaining of them in the metaphysical world.

Metaphysical entities: They exist primarily in the metaphysical world in the past they had interacted with divinity in the physical world but now that they are between these two worlds, they don’t need to use divinity anymore however most of their existence exist in the metaphysical world meaning they can interact with metaphysical things and even damage them. This also means that destroying their physical bodies wouldn’t kill them but damage them greatly.

Creation: They created things in the past in the far past which were universes. They can still create things like universes however they are extremely fragile and perish into pieces which is why they now tend to make weapons that they use against the new god as the swords perish fast that usually happens right in front of the new god meaning they get hit with the full force of a universe capable destroying weapon.

## Weaknesses

Divinity can hurt the forgotten gods it is thought that this happens because the dark divinity is so different from normal divinity that it hurts the forgotten gods who’s existence got used to the dark divinity now.

Destroying their physical bodies can weaken them a lot and make them vulnerable.
