Chapter 142 : The Twelve Creation Gods

Hello, Crow here, this chapter is meant to further delve into the identity of the twelve creation gods, whom you'll hear about more frequently in the future. Note that this may contain slight spoilers so read at your own risk.

The Twelve; Quhea 'Creator of Knowledge', Tiarius 'The GameMaster', 'God', Sedos 'Lightbringer', Thyddor 'The Fighter', Dimitra 'Mother Nature', Timos ''Savagery', Medtris 'Demon Queen', Ventus Malum 'Gale Devourer', Moriah 'Shadow Emperor', Zaarae 'Parasite Empress', and Xyktia 'Assassin'."

Moriah 'Shadow Emperor': Strongest being that ever lived, presumably stronger than even *******. Despite his unequaled strength, his thirst for power led to his demise. He created 'Shadows' and the Shadow Attribute, making it one of the most mysterious attributes that ever existed. The Shadow Demons, which were a joint creation of both Moriah and Medtris, were able to manipulate Shadows but only to a small degree.

The Shadow Emperor rose to the apex thanks to his unique ability to steal and devour other people's shadows, which, in return, greatly strengthened him. His ability is different from Zaarae's racial powers as the shadows Moriah devoured represented what his targets will become in the future. For example, if a farmer is to become a Sword Saint in fifty years, Moriah would obtain a Sword Saint's strength regardless of when he devours that person's shadow.

Despite belonging to the faction that originated from the 'Darkness', Moriah was never interested in neither Riarravar nor the war that happened not long after the annihilation of that world. He sought strength and strength alone, in fact, early on, he attempted to devour Thyddor's shadow but returned empty-handed.

Thyddor 'The Fighter''Father of Titans': Thyddor was the first of his kind and the one who created a nearly perfect race: the Titans. They had a monstrous inborn strength and were masters of Magic, especially Earth and Lightning. Amongst the six born from the Light, Thyddor was the strongest and was considered a battle freak, always asking the rest to battle him.

It came as no surprise that his interest was picked when Riarravar was created. He followed Tiarius and God's footsteps and created a Race of his own but the result was something the former two could not tolerate. Uranus and Gaea were the first titans created by Thyddor, however, they had incredibly large sizes so they were forbidden from entering Riarravar.

Records have little mention about Thyddor's fate after the 'War of the Twelve'. Xyktia attempted to assassinate him but was discovered by Zeus, a young titan which was personally taught by Thyddor. 

Sedos 'Lightbringer': He's the one and only God worshiped by the Holy Dominion (Holy Church) and is the origin of anything that is Holy or related to Light. He inherited a portion of the Light he was born from hence his title. He created Spiritual creatures, Light/Holy Laws, Light Energy, Saber Essence, and the concept of religion. He was someone who liked to be worshiped by mortals, especially Humans as their faith resulted in the automatic creation of another, more powerful kind of energy: Faith Energy. He relied on said energy to deal a devastating blow to Medtris… a blow so strong it broke the very fabric of reality and banished the Demon Queen in an unknown place for more than a hundred thousand years.

Little is known about his relationship with his allies but there has been a period where Sedos threatened 'God', wanting the latter to aid him in his cause. Nothing too detailed was said about this matter but there surely has been a fight between the Lightbringer and the mysterious 'God'.

Medtris 'Demon Queen': She's a dominatrix and wanted to lead the six born from the Darkness but wasn't strong enough to subdue them. She stopped dreaming of achieving that after nearly being killed by Moriah, who grew tired of her persistence and behavior. However, Moriah's thrashing was nothing compared to the suffering she received from Sedos, who banished her into a world devoid of anything. It took her 100,000 years to escape and by the time she returned to her plane, everything changed. 

If we're talking about pure physical force, Medtris is equal to Thyddor if not stronger. After a prolonged study about physical bodies, Medtris created the Physiques but wasn't able to acquire all of them. Actually, she mastered six Soldier-ranked Physique, three King-ranked Physiques and two Emperor-Ranked Physique, officially becoming the strongest of the Twelve after the fall of the Shadow Emperor. 

Furthermore, Medtris was amongst the few first ones who started creating Races and powers. She sacrificed a small portion of her power to create the Seven Deadly Sins. Demons, Devils, and Gargoyles were races she personally created too. After returning from that banished-world, The Demon Queen unleashed her wrath upon Sedos, assaulting him in his domain and fatally injuring him.

Were it not for Dimitra's interference, Sedos would have been killed. The blow she dealt to the Lightbringer was too powerful so he ended up dying not too long after that. 

Tiarius 'GameMaster': An eccentric being, fond of games and pranks. He created Riarravar with 'God's help and also invented the System. A normal System was put in Riarravar, allowing its inhabitants to slowly strengthen themselves by killing wild and dangerous beasts or doing miscellaneous jobs. The first System ever created was actually a simple yet dreadful card system that relied on something he called 'Real Magic'… this 'magic'  wasn't bound by the natural and elemental laws, making it even more unique and sought after. Even 'God' highly praised Tiarius' Card System, calling it 'A wondrous thing'.

After Riarravar was invaded by the Cthulhu(An Evil and corrupt Race), Tiarius was infuriated by the savages' cruel acts so he went and attacked Timos. A fierce battle took place between the two entities but it was short-lived as Ventus Malum(One of the Twelve) interfered and stopped their recklessness. 

When the first world was overrun by the evil races, Tiarius gave up on that world and created a whole Universe controlled by an artificial intelligence he poured all of his efforts into creating. 

Unlike the three other Universes, the Omega Universe was a boundless and vast world that was filled with various Races. In fact, Tiarius threw a couple of malevolent Races in that world to create a hurdle for the humans there. He wanted them to face danger so they can work to empower themselves and resist the enemies

Xyktia 'Assassin': A very secretive person who rarely interacts with her creations or allies. She was strong enough to fight Thyddor and had countless means to escape from any of the Twelve, no matter the situation. Her expertise lied in absolute Stealth and going around undetected, she was quite the adventurous type and only joined the war to hone her skills… her real goals laid elsewhere.

She created summoning Magic, Black Magic, and the undead. She didn't literally create a race but used the lifeless corpses of the fallen from Riarravar to build an unshakeable empire. Her Necromancy skills were advanced and very dreadful, making her one of the main threats and a major factor that strengthened the 'Darkness Faction'.

When the war of the Twelve began, Xyktia tried to assassinate Thyddor but was surprisingly discovered by a young but almighty titan named Zeus. He was a figure that would rise to the apex sometime later and he could wield a special kind of Lightning which was the nemesis of Xyktia's abilities. Although she failed in her task and was forced to fight Zeus, Xyktia was still able to safely retreat.

Ever since that fight, Xyktia changed her target from Thyddor to Zeus and attempted to kill him on several occasions. 

She's one of the few whose death is confirmed as Ventus Malum personally killed her after she had done a heinous act that greatly angered the Gale Devourer.

Timos 'Savagery' 'The Black Devil': He was the most unlikable amongst the Twelve, even his allies weren't too fond of him. He was as arrogant as Sedos and hated Humans to the bones. He never justified his hate but some said that he felt threatened by this fragile race which showed an infinite potential. In an attempt to copy God's feats, he created a defective race: The Cthulhu, however, he wasn't pleased with the result. He dumped them in Riarravar clearly with some hidden intentions which he repeatedly denied when Tiarius attacked him.

He was stronger than most the Twelve but weaker than the battle-oriented ones such as Thyddor, Xyktia, and Ventus Malum. 

Timos created the Void Attribute, the strongest attribute ever recorded in history as it is capable of devouring everything, or so everyone proclaims. With Medtris' help, he mastered the Void Physique and became much stronger, causing him to become more rampant and reckless.

Although the war of the Twelve lasted for quite a long time, Timos never left his domain, unwilling to step foot into any of the four Universes. He sought refuge in the other Universe, the one created by the 'Darkness Faction'. He's slowly amassing his armies of Cthulhu and waiting for an opportunity to strike the enemy.

Dimitra 'Mother Nature': She was the one who created all of the basic attributes (Fire, Water, Earth, Wind) and if she didn't create these attributes, 'God' wouldn't have been able to create Riarravar. In fact, the attributes she created caused the natural elemental laws to materialize. These laws were a restriction that laid the base for the rest of the Twelve, which branched some powers based on the attributes or imitated Dimitra, allowing them to come up with more creative abilities.

When Riarravar was turned into a mess and the mountains, forests, and seas were scorched by the evil flame, Dimitra was infuriated but she didn't act on impulsive and instead, sought the help of others. It was said that her healing abilities were unparalleled, she was even able to bring people back to life with her tears. 

She was the one who saved Sedos from the Demon Queen, who was almost able to kill the Lightbringer.

Zaarae 'Parasite Empress''The Lady Who Reaps': Prior to losing her powers, Zaarae was the second strongest of the Twelve, falling right behind the Shadow Emperor. Her abilities allowed her to possess anything, whether it's living beings or spiritual creatures. Her powers were so overpowered that she could possess literal worlds, gaining all the present attributes and energies in that world. 

So, it came as no surprise when she became able to wield every attribute, energy, and Physique. She wasn't particularly strong in one or two areas but the diversity she had allowed her to rise to dominance. 

She was on pretty good terms with Medtris and Ventus Malum, however, she grew apart from the latter when the war started. The Gale Devourer voiced his strong objections and refused to aid Zaarae, saying and I quote 'If you continue on this road then you'll lose your life because of this pointless war'.

Although many claimed that the Titans were the strongest Race ever created, it's only because they don't know the ancient parasites, the truly frightening ones.

The parasites are, without a doubt, the strongest Race ever created, however, not every parasite created was flawless. Zaarae failed two times before she was able to create a unique specimen capable of displaying unrivaled strength and unmatched intelligence.

In a tense period right when the war began, Zaarae's domain was invaded by an individual, who not only caused a lot of disturbance, he was even able to trick Zaarae and Timos.

He fought Timos for sometime before Zaarae joined the fight and only then did she realize that she fell into his trap as her powers were stolen a few seconds after their first meeting.

No one was able to stop that person, who safely left the Empress' domain after acquiring what he needed. As for Zaarae, despite losing her powers, she was still strong but was soon regarded as an outcast by Timos and Xyktia, who always mocked her, calling her a 'mortal'.

Thankfully, she had her creations, which loyally served her and fought her battles. One particular parasite who served her was able to exact revenge on Timos, who attempted to take Zaarae as his 'mistress', saying that she'll be more useful if she used her body instead of her head.

The relationship between the parasites and Cthulhu worsened but they're still considered allies, more or less.
