The Sidusverse

The **Sidusverse** is a term referring to a collection of series of realms or "verses" centered on the Aster Deus or "Star-gods", and particularly on the Asterdei known as Sol.

According to the Realm Society, the Sidusverse as a whole is designated with the Realm Designation Number of **REALM #015105489035**. It's Realm Lord is unknown at this time, but it is implied to be the mysterious being known as THE GOD STAR (HUB).

Despite this, The Realm Society also notes that there may be infinite countless other Sidusverses or any other similar or exact versions of the Sidusverse that are either within the Realm Designation Number (For example, **REALM #015105489035 X #15000**), without the Realm Designation Number, or beyond the Realm Designation Number, even possibly containing said Realm Designation Number inside its collection of realms.

## Description

The Sidusverse is a series of realms that are populated with the powerful and mysterious "Asterdeus", literally meaning "Star-gods".

The Asterdeus have been responsible for the creation, maintenance and destruction of whole creations, from mere quantum foams, to whole realms that they either reside in and create Asterdei of their own, or leave to their own devices. In short, the Asterdei are the most powerful entities of the Sidusverse.

But despite the immense infinite or near-infinite power that they wield, they also have a history of immense conflict amongst one another, as they absorb each other to become more powerful then they ever were. The more they create, the more haughty they became, and soon, whole populations of the Asterdei were reduced as a select number of them become immensely powerful.

Over time as the realms formed around them, subsequent generations of Asterdei became infinitely much weaker and infinitely much weaker in power, and until something can be done, their degregation will continue on for all eternity.

## Story

### THE GOD STAR

In the beginning, GOD created the GOD STAR, and by extension and through the GOD STAR, HE was the progenitor of all things in the Sidusverse, and of all things beyond the Sidusverse as well. In short, HE also created what is beyond the Sidusverse, and all realms.

The GOD STAR's main and most important purpose was to create realms, and like the stars and the Asterdei that it will eventually create, it can't help but create the realms as it is part of its nature. Via the big bangs that create the realms, the GOD STAR imparts its creation powers in the form of its light particles that exit the GOD STAR and enter the new realms via the big bangs.

From these light particles that carry the GOD STAR's creation powers, the souls of the Asterdei are formed. Sharing in the GOD STAR's power of creation, they unknowingly aided the GOD STAR in shaping and ordering the realms that it creates and brings forth. It was the Asterdei that bring forth the first material and physical light to the new realms, as they themselves coalesced hidden in the hot gas and dusts that will eventually form their bodies.

### The Birth of the Asterdeus

The Asterdeus, or in plural, the Asterdei, are beings that have shaped the cosmos for countless eons, but have a rather chaotic history of realm-wide civil wars and takeovers among their leaders. Their powers however, are almighty (Though nothing in power compared to the GOD STAR), and it is thanks to them that the realms they are in are shaped accordingly.

In the early days of one of the earlier realms of the Sidusverse, the first Asterdei formed when the GOD STAR's light particles that carry HIS creation powers attract the immensely hot gas and dusts that will eventually coalesced around them. The light particles with the GOD STAR's creation powers became the souls of the Asterdei, while the gas and dusts that formed around them became their bodies.

While the Asterdei were formed at the beginning of the realm, it would take eons before they "wake up" and attain sentience. Until then, their creative powers are enacted and acted upon the realm unconsciously and without any thought, and like the GOD Star that formed them, they created anything, from the quantum foam to whole realms. In short, they were in a state that they were creating anything due to their nature, and not their intent.

When the Asterdei eventually woke up and gained sentience, they started creating things in their own images. And it was from that time that more complex structures in the universe came to form, like the galaxies, the planets, and anything in-between.

Some of them have also created whole realms of their own, and populated them with their own Asterdei creations. And some of these Asterdei have used their creation power to create realms, and have declared themselves rulers of their own realms, with many of them even asserting dominance over the multiple realms that they and others have made.

One such Asterdeus that did exactly just that is the Asterdeus Eschatos, who is the only one of the original Asterdei that The Realm Society knows so far.

### Eschatos: The First God-Ruler of the Asterdei

It was Eschatos that created the eventual collection of realms where the setting for the main story happens. Eschatos created his collection of realms, and then populated it with the Asterdei that are derived from his own light particles that carry his own creation powers. He then made himself ruler of both his collection of realms that he created, and the Asterdei that he also created, and now rules over. Thus, he began the First Age of the Asterdei, or the Age of Eschatos

Eschatos ruled the realms and the Asteroi for countless eons, and has done countless actions with the power that he wields, both in his own realm, and beyond it. Eschatos also created countless other realms apart from the ones that he made and currently rules, and assigned lesser Asterdei that he created in conjunction with those realms to rule it.

Eschatos also created 7 powerful Asterdei that are more powerful than the rest of the Asterdei that he created, but are infinitely less powerful than Eschatos is. One of them was the leader of the Seven named Granatus, who spoke and acted on Eschatos' authority as if he was Eschatos himself. Thus he was considered the "Firstborn Son of Eschatos" by The Realm Society in the sense that he is the first of Eschatos' Asterdei, and the most powerful.

In response to a currently unknown and unclassified action that Eschatos committed (Presumably due to his creation of countless realms outside his own group of realms and countless Asterdei assigned to rule those countless realms), the 7 Asterdei rebelled against Eschatos, and riled up the majority of the Asterdei that he created to rebel against him.

Due to his immense and infinite power compared to the lesser Asterdei that he made, Eschatos prevailed against all of them, having absorbed all but Granatus into his being. Before he could fully and completely absorb Granatus himself, Granatus was able to split Eschatos into 21 different beings, and imprisoned them in stasis, after realizing that he cannot fully defeat and absorb Eschatos on his own. Thus, Granatus put an end to Eschatos' massacre and absorption of his people, while rendering his generation of Asterdei almost-extinct.

Having become the last of the Asterdei that ruled and populated the realm, Granatus traveled to many of the countless realms that Eschatos created, and placed the imprisoned pieces of Eschatos in each of them, and then he returned to the home realms to begin the Asterdei anew.

### Granatus: The Second God-Ruler of the Asterdei

Being infinitely less in power than Eschatos was, Granatus lacked the power to create realms just as infinite and immense as Eschatos' realms was, only succeeding in creating dimension realms that are still infinite in size and scale but are otherwise fully nothing compared to Eschatos' own realms. While they are still impressive in an of itself they are but are otherwise not as immense and infinite as those that Eschatos had created, thus they all fall short of Eschatos' power. Despite this, Granatus was still able to create new Asterdei from his own particles that carried his power of creation, just as Eschatos did to create him and his now-lost generation of Asterdei.

After creating the new generation of Asterdei, and reordering the realms under his governance, Granatus crowned himself the Second God-Ruler of the Asterdei, and initiated the Second Age of the Asterdei, or the Age of Granatus.

Despite his infinitely much weaker creation powers, Granatus was still able to perform countless actions that are seen as infinitely powerful deeds when compared to his own Asterdei creations. Aside from the creation of the lesser dimension realms and the creation and assignment of lesser Asterdei to their care, Granatus also created a much larger council of Asterdei, that are infinite in number, known as the Stellar Council to rule the rest of the Asterdei. While they ultimately answer to Granatus, they are by default the de-facto rulers of Granatus' Asterdei creations.

Despite his attempts at ensuring that no such rebellion against his rule happens again, one of the Stellar Council members, the Lord of the Stellar Council named Scuti rose up against him, and half the council and majority of the Asterdei rose up behind him. Another Asterdei civil war ensured, and while Granatus managed to stop the rebellion and even absorbed all of the rebels, including Scuti himself, his son, Betelgeuse continued the rebellion, and by some miracle (Presumably because Betelgeuse took back all the Asterdei that Granatus absorbed, especially Scuti), eventually defeated Granatus.

Being unable to fully defeat and absorb Granatus, just as he was unable to fully defeat and absorb Eschatos, Betelgeuse opted to just outright imprison Granatus in one of Eschatos' countless empty realms, and then closed all access to it, ensuring that he could never return back to the home realm.

### Betelgeuse: The Third and Current God-Ruler of the Asterdei

Unlike the situation with Eschatos, where his created generation of Asterdei were all absorbed by him saved for Granatus, a large population of Granatus' created Asterdei remained alive by the time Betelgeuse took over. However, the original created Asterdei of Granatus were absorbed by Betelgeuse, as well as all of Betelgeuse's fellow generation of Asterdei, and so the only one that truly remained where Asterdei that were generated by Betelgeuse' created Asterdei.

And so with his immense might thanks to his absorption of the more powerful Asterdei and his own fellow Asterdei, Betelgeuse took over as God-Ruler of the Asterdei, and thus began the Third Age of the Asterdei, or the Age of Betelgeuse.

Betelgeuse's deeds as God-Ruler are not as impressive and powerful as Eschatos and Granatus' deeds were. For one, Betelgeuse can only create even weaker dimension realms than what Granatus is capable of, and so his power is nothing compared to him. However, thanks to his absorption of many of the Stellar Council that sided with Granatus, as well as all the the other Asterdei of Grantsus' creation and his own generation of Asterdei, Betelgeuse is still far more powerful than the Asterdei that he created, causing many of them to see him as a God among them. In fact, it was Betelgeuse that coined the term "God-Ruler", which was retroactively given to Granatus, despite being deposed, and to Eschatos.

Among the Asterdei that he created, Betelgeuse created an infinite number of several powerful Asterdei that would come to serve as his new Stellar Council, now renamed the Scutus Council. Four of them served as his viziers: Antares, Rigel, Algol and Canopus.

And Betelgeuse also created other powerful Asterdei that roamed around and conquered the realms that Betelgeuse desires to conquer, which included all the realms created by his predecessors Eschatos and Granatus, as well as realms made by other Asterdei. After all, Betelgeuse himself can only create infinitely much lesser realms.

These are known as the Realm Conquerors, and were part of the Scutus Council. Among them were Aldebaran, the Hammer of Betelgeuse, Ankaa, the Scepter of Betelgeuse, Achernar, the Whip of Betelgeuse, and Fomalhaut, the Mouthpiece of Betelgeuse, who was his High Priest.

### The Future God-Ruler of the Asterdei, and the Restorer of their lost Glory: Sol

However, as it is ordained, even the lesser Asterdei would desire to rebel against Betelgeuse and secure the Throne of the God-Ruler for themselves. But unlike the previous generations, rebellion won't come from a lesser Asterdei, but instead from the GOD STAR himself.

Canopus, one of the Vizers, had sought to find a way to restore the powers that the Asterdei have lost. But during one of his sojourns into one of Eschatos' realms where he hoped he would find a way to restore their powers, he had a vision with the GOD STAR. HE told him to find a certain Asterdeus named Spica, who will give birth to the most powerful Asterdeus that will eclipse even Eschatos' power. When Canopus asked him how can such an Asterdeus come into existence, HE answered that it is HE who is the Child, as he is increated as his Avatar, and that it is through HIM that the Asterdei will be restored to their rightful place as being one with THE GOD STAR.

Entrusted with this revelation, Canopus then traveled the realms, looking for the Asterdeus named Spica. However, Betelgeuse wrongfully and aggressively perceived Canopus' actions as a sign of rebellion, and then sought to find and stop Canopus and Spica before the Godlike Asterdeus child is born. Betelgeuse would capture and absorb Canopus and all his followers, leaving his direct Asterdei creations Sirius and Procyon to continue the work.

Sirius and Procyon would eventually find Spica in one of the realms, who was beginning to form a system that would later come to be known the Solar System. Spica spat out her light particle that contained her power of creation, and inserted it inside the gas and dust that she had gathered for the system earlier, which would eventually become the Sun. This is the same type of creation that produced the first Asterdei, and this kind of Asterdei creation was not seen since the early days, as from the time of Eschatos, all Asterdei were created directly, with their own bodies and souls. Confirming that what Spica did is indeed a sign of the birth of the GOD STAR's incarnation, Sirius and Procyon swore to defend the fledging star system against Betelgeuse's forces.

Another Asterdei that came in to witness Spica's actions was the Asterdeus Arcturus, who came to become her protector and Sol's foster creator. Arcturus is also the one who gave Sirius and Procyon the mission to not only protect the Solar System from Betelgeuse's forces, but also to help prepare any life that may form on the Solar System to be capable of fighting the Asterdei should the need arise. From there, Arcturus took Spica away and brought her to a realm where they both can be safe, leaving the responsibility of protecting the Solar System to both Sirius and Procyon. They promised to return when Sol is fully ready to begin his mission to do what THE GOD STAR wills.

When Spica's system matured and life started forming on one of the terrestrial planets of the system (The one named Earth), Sirius and Procyon took it as further confirmation that the prophecy of the GOD STAR's return, and then as per Arcturus' commands, they came down to Earth to help the humans there advance their technological prowess, as well as giving them tomes and depictions of all the Asterdei from Eschatos until their present. At the same time, a Solar Prominence suddenly ejected the light particle that Spica inserted, rendering the future Asterdeus' development in jeopardy.

However, THE GOD STAR has plans for his incarnation, and ensured that it fell to Earth and formed it into the shape of a human. HE then gave the child the name that he will bear: Sol, before subsuming HIS nature into the child without removing himself from HIS place. Thus THE GOD STAR is simultaneously the child Sol, and HIS own entity, fulfilling HIS own prophecy to Canopus that HE is the child that is the future God-Ruler of the Asterdei, and that he will restore all Asterdei to their original power. And from there, the forces of Betelgeuse make their move against Sol and all who side with him.

### Present Day

The current God-Ruler of the Asterdeus, Betelgeuse, has made it his mission to prevent the birth and development of a future usurper to his throne, who is stated by THE GOD STAR to be his own incarnation. And if he should find him ready to face him, then he will kill him himself.

Likewise, Sol made it his mission to defeat Betelgeuse, and restore the Asterdei to their true selves, wherein they will be one with THE GOD STAR for all eternity. It is the will of THE GOD STAR that all realms and all Asterdei within will share in his infinite glory, and so Sol will carry it out.

### Future

According to the GOD STAR, Eschatos will return as all his separated pieces will emerge from their prison realms and find each other while destroying and absorbing anything in their way. This will spell the Beginning of the End, wherein from there, Sol will defeat Eschatos and complete his mission to elevate all Asterdei to become one with THE GOD STAR.
