Ouroboros

The **Cosmic Egg**, also known **World Egg**, is a Pre-existential object that is shaped like an egg and existed even before the megaverse itself. From this egg Ouroboros and Vitriol were born.

## Overview

The egg is ethereal in the most primal sense possible. It didn't come from "nothing", it came from something, however that would mean of something existing before nothing. The egg appears to have come from a snake, an ancient serpent from before even the existence of Ayin. This supposed snake is most likely not an entity new to researchers, probably being someone known of this existence that was born in a previous one.

## Description

The cosmic egg is said to have the ability to hatch a new megaverse, supposedly taking millions to billions of years to finally hatch. It is made up of the purest form of matter to ever exist, able to contain essence of God, that is, it would not be absurd to think that a being on the level of God Himself was born from the Cosmic Egg. It's rumored that every time all of existence is destroyed the egg reforms and rehatches with new beings and a new world.

## History

In the beginning, there was an absolute nothingness, an endless void lacking any amount of form or matter. But all of a sudden, from that nothing, came an egg, an egg that originally came from a serpent from the world of before, no one would be faulted for thinking that being or "egg" was the supreme being, even if only for that moment.

But eventually this egg hatched, and from that hatching came two of the most powerful beings within the megaverse; Ouroboros, the pre-existential embodiment of endlessness and infinity, and Vitriol, the pre-existential embodiment of energy and hunger. This made the once plane of non existence into something, with God and other creator deities creating more and more until the universe as we know now exists. From the nothing came Infinity and Oblivion, completing the necessary components for creating a universe.

## Myths and Legends

The Cosmic Egg is a metaphor of potentiality. It is the pre-creation held within chaos, waiting to become the cosmos. This duality, then, sets up a conflict found throughout world mythology, the duality of chaos and order, good and evil, light and dark, love and hate.

Within this egg typically resides a divine being who literally creates himself from nothing (AKA The ex nihilo). This creator then goes on to form the material universe. This ‘ex nihilo’ creator either uses the material within the cosmic egg shell, or the substance of chaos to bring shape and order to the world. The tricky question is however, what came first, the god or the egg. In some myths, this egg has a maker, often a woman, who brings the creator god into existence.

The idea of a cosmic egg was brought up by science in the 1930s, where the universe was believed to have originated from a gravitational singularity and expanded via a big bang to become the expanding universe.

## Trivia

* It is rumored that Vishnu tried to create his own cosmic egg which became Hiranyagarbha.
