The Gray War

The Gray War was a period of time shortly after Earth's creation where the Mother attempted to plunge the planet into chaos, solely for the purpose of pleasing The Void. The actions of The Idcarnation at this time lead to her various Angels plotting her destruction due to their position as guardians of Earth. The events of the Gray War took place directly after The Meta wars, which ended with humanity summoning Void to Earth through a human sacrifice.

## The Beginning

After Void was summoned to Earth, it attempted to bring it's full form into the human used for it's sacrifice, but quickly found itself stopped by Aquo. At the universe's current state, if both the Void and Idcarnation were in the same place, a Flux Paradox would occur. To circumvent both forces working against them, Void only pushed through a small part of itself to take over its sacrifice. After this, it quickly sought out its other half and fused with it. This entity dubbed itself Monster.

## The Angel Rebellion

Idcarnation was mesmerized. The idea of her biggest fear and biggest inspiration fusing together into one being was too much for her mind. She immediately created a new dimension, setting aside nearly all the empty space in the Dreamviel solely for The Monster. In addition, she created the planet known as Vivian solely for the purpose of studying it. She also sent her various Angels down to 'play' with it, often times resulting in the Angel's deaths.This, of course, angered the Angels to the point of rebellion against Rene.

With little to no organization, as well as an extreme vulnerability given their reliance on the Mother for their form, the Angels amassed under the second strongest of their kind, Luce Archibald Faer. Through her abilities of careful deduction and expert manipulation, they managed to amass a rebellion strong enough to at least reason with Rene on level ground. However the strongest Angel, Mary Sue, stopped them before they were able to complete their rebellion. As a result, all Angels that participated in the rebellion were banished to Hell.

## Angel Containment Project

After their banishment, all Angels were cut off from their mana source. Rendering all of them, Lucy included, on short time. Quickly thinking, Lucy used herself as the source of mana for all Angels, planning to keep every alive long enough for them to get out of hell. As time went on, Lucy's own source started to run dry. As such, she and the other Angels sought to try and contain themselves within a single being.

Through much trial and error, sacrifice, and struggle, Lucy was able to discover a way to accomplish her goal. However, by the time she did...all of the other Angels had withered away. With very little time remaining, she combined her and all of her friends into one being. Though their bodies were empty of mana, she was able to create a vessel large enough to hold more mana than any of them deemed imaginable. After succeeding in the Angel Containment Project, the being that was formed in the process was able to regain energy from the surroundings in hell. This being was known as Amalgam Amalgamate.

## The New Heaven

Back in Heaven, the home of the Mother, Idcarnation found herself severely lacking in any Angels to experiment with. Thoroughly bored of Angels, however, she decided to spend her time making autonomous machines with no risk of free will to harm her, as well and other various structures and buildings to cure her boredom.

the Monster, meanwhile, was also a way for Rene to cure her boredom. Given that she was invincible, she fought with it, often assisted by Mary Sue. Monster saw no conflict in its current situation, but it was strangely dormant during this time despite there largely being peace throughout the world.

## Clockworks Opus

Over time, Amalgam Amalgamate began to regain energy from the various spots in hell. This process was extremely ineffective, but luckily Monster was willing to help. Seeing potential for conflict with Amalgam, Monster gave them the original set of rules for magic within a book. With this guide, Amalgam was able to make a variety on seemingly random but still logical based creations, culminating with the Conduit Clockworks, or Clockworks Opus. Clockworks Opus allows the user to both time travel and teleport. However, time travel results in the branching out of a timeline, rather than the change of the current one.

Not wanting to just teleport to a different reality, Amalgam decided to use their newfound power to teleport everything they could find and create over to Heaven. After their preparation and success, the Angels were ready to take Idcarnation once again.

## The Final Battles

After Amalgam's re-declaration of war, the two sides began to battle once again. After 1 week of straight fighting, Rene began to notice something was off. She sensed the amount of magic in the universe was starting to push its limit, and a Flux Paradox was about to start. After this realization, she attempted to call for a ceasefire, though Amalgam refused until she prepared her final assault. Upon realizing what was happening, she too called off her assault, leaving heaven in complete ruins.

And, in the height of this apparent peace, the Monster appeared. After manipulating Mary Sue, it broke into Heaven, wrapping up the entire plane all the way to Hell, trapping Earth in-between. Amalgam and Idcarnation were prepared to battle against Monster to stop anything from happening, but it was too late. A Flux Paradox had already occurred, and a silent but bright flash of light rang out.

All mana left out in the open air, including mana belonging to metas, as well as Monster, was redistributed at random. In particular, 99% of this mana was distributed into the dragon Girmir.
