Earth

Third from the sun of the Milky Way Galaxy's Sol System, Earth is the origin planet of the Humans. Known throughout the Milky Way galaxy as the Blue planet, it's mostly covered in water.

## **Universe 1**

Earth and its humans were created by Rudra during the birth of Universe 1. Being creations of Rudra, he who destroys and regenerates the universe, many gods watch over the planet and its humans.

### **First Invasion of Earth**

Eons after its creation, Earth was invaded by the demon lord Mahabalasura and his forces. They kidnapped the children of the planet and slaughtered Earth's adult population indiscriminately. Corruption spread across the land as the world shook, reducing much of the Earth to ruins. Raji, having her own brother kidnapped, was tasked by Durga to stop the demons, purge the corruption, rescue the children, and save the Earth. But early into her journey, Raji fell to the demon queen Rangda, succumbing to poisoned water and being consumed by hostile fish. Earth was left a shadow of its former self, and Mahabalasura left with the kidnapped children victorious. The captured children were shuttled off into space, where they were dissected and their organs sold for high prices due to their rarity.

### **Apocalypse**

The few cities that remained after Mahabalasura's destruction started to rebuild and build defenses against alien invasion. And many more aliens, drawn in by how easy it was to pillage the planet, continued to invade Earth. After countless wars, more cities fell, until all that remained were tourist destinations--Cairo, Paris, a city near the plateaus of Guiana, and Gold Cord.

#### **Gold Cord**

Gold Cord, unlike the other surviving populations, professed to be a tourist destination but didn't really have any hot spots. Instead, they survived by imprisoning and/or murdering aliens. The people of the city created a school of volunteers and a large cannon to defend themselves.

### **Marco's Return**

10 years after Mahabalasura's invasion, Marco, a treasure hunter and one of the children kidnapped during that invasion, returned to Earth looking for her mother. With her she brought the Lizard Stone, a powerful stone that granted the user's wishes, which she intended to sell. She arrived in Gold Cord, her hometown and began searching. But she wasn't the only one who wanted the Lizard Stone, and her presence on Earth escalated the demon invasions.

A Nudo, a massive space whale, nearly swallowed the planet whole.

A species known as The Love that take over planets by smothering the population invaded Gold Cord with the appearance of its inhabitants' loved ones. They were eradicated from the city by its academy defense force, but it's implied that the other cities were helpless against The Love, leaving Gold Cord as Earth's and humanity's last bastion.

Astaroth, (later revealed to be Mahabalasura) the destroyer of worlds and self-proclaimed "Ruler of the Galaxy," returned to Earth to claim the Lizard Stone and this time destroy the planet itself. He succeeded in destroying part of Gold Cord and capturing the Lizard Stone. But Marco, Gold Cord's defense force, and the Galaxy Dragon, Marco's powerful companion born from a black hole, successfully destroyed Astaroth's fleet, destroyed the Lizard Stone, killed Astaroth, and saved the Earth from destruction.

### **Earth's Fate**

After the victory over Astaroth and the destruction of the Lizard Stone, Marco returned to space. Gold Cord started to recover from the damage, but the invasions of Earth continued.
