The Villain's Story

Chapter 882: Absolute Progenitor.

Every species has the very first member, known as the Progenitor of their species. The very first of their kind.

Adam was the First Human, therefore making him the progenitor of the human race. For the Elves, it was Thrandillu, the first Elf; for the Dwarves, it was Vulcan; for the Orcs, it was ElʼJaaku. For the Vampires, it was Lilith.

Similarly, the Dragons, God Beasts, and Voidspawn also had their progenitors, those who were the start of everything—the very first.

For Dragons, it was Vorden, the First Dragon and the Absolute Master of Magic and Controller of Time. It was he who created the Chalice of Time, the only thing capable of reversing time on a universal scale and maintaining the flow of time as well.

For God Beasts, It was Ilvath, the First Beast, and the Absolute Master of Aura and Maintainer of Balance. The Creator of the Eternal flame, the artifact that gave birth to every star in the universe. The source of light and warmth.

For the VoidSpawn, it is Avalik, the First Spawn, the Absolute Master of Aether and Space. The Creator of the Void, The Home of the VoidSpawn, and the Graveyard of the three prime species.

The Three Progenitors were all the Creator ever cared about; they were his strongest force, the ones whom he sent to multiple other universes to conquer them. Each of the three was capable of doing so.

The Creator only paid attention to Vorden, Ilvath, and Avalik and didnʼt care much for their children. Their children had only come to be because they saw beings in other universes and were inspired to do the same. The Three, who only knew conquest, searched for other things.

However, beings as old as they are, and those that were created for only a singular process, found it difficult to know of these feelings. And they didnʼt have much time to do so, for their Creator didnʼt give them time to rest. Some of their Children helped in their conquest, some stayed behind.

And then, they, too, were influenced by beings of other universes and gave birth to their own children.

The Third Generation came into being: Izikil, Agri, Shi, Valus, Aloaris, Suleras, and their other siblings followed soon after. Unlike the First, the Second adored their children from the start; they loved watching them wander in the dark realm they lived in, watching them play with each other, and even getting into some scuffles.

The third generation was creative, very creative. They made rocks and various other things, and eventually, some of them gave birth to light. They used their energy and lit themselves up to produce light.

However, the most glaring flaw of the third generation was that they did not wish for conquest. They tried to stop their parents, and their parents listened to them. And this was the final straw.

Children do not want to live in darkness. Children do not deserve it, and neither do they deserve to be left alone as their parents waged war in other lands.

The Creator did not like this, but ignored it for the time being, after all, it only needed the Absolute Beings, those that could actually go against the creators of other universes. It only needed them.

All of it changed when Valus dared to request the Creator to create something else, to create real stars, real planets, real galaxies, and to bring life into the Universe. It was when Izikil requested that their own universe be the same as the rest.

When the request was rejected, they took it into their hands. The Children rebelled; they created everything. They requested their parents to make the things they saw in the other universes, but at that time, their parents were incapable, and so, to fulfill the wishes of their children, they asked their parents.

Vorden, Ilvath, and Avalik listened. Vorden created Dragonum, the Home of the Dragons, and filled it with everything his children requested, as well as the flow of time. He filled the dark universe with it and many other things. The First Utopia. Ilvath created the Eternal Flame at the request of his daughter, the source of light and warmth in the universe. He made Gurdanki, the Home of the God Beasts, the second Utopia. Avalik brought change to the universe. He scattered the stars produced by the Eternal Flame and brought substance to the dark realm. He created the galaxies and changed space itself. The three changed the universe to be like the rest; they brought what they had seen outside into their own home.

And that was it. The final straw for The Creator. It cursed the flaws, the ones who caused it all. The Third Generation, Valus, was burned for his sin of creating light and forced to live in eternal darkness. Izikil was robbed of his magnificent horns, a sword was driven into his chest, and his dragon heart was split in two. Suleras was scarred, his scales were torn, and his teeth were ripped from his mouth.

Everyone suffered, and because of this. They cried. Children cried as they suffered, as they were cursed with eternal wrath against one another. Their parents heard their cries and rebelled.

And as a result, only two VoidSpawn Primordials were spared, the more timid ones. The Strongest God Beast Primordial was killed, and the Strongest Dragons were banished into prisons created solely for them.

Five entire galaxies were remodified to imprison Izik, to restrain him. And for Tiamat, The abyss was created to be her prison. Where she was chained at the deepest layer. Ariel was chained as well, in her own dark dimension.

Liorakiji was doomed to eternal sleep, merely because he was the most timid out of them all.

Each of the fifteen Primordials was dealt with in a ʼfittingʼ manner according to the Creator, the ones who were the most feisty, the primordials of war were killed, with only Izik being an exception. The Voidspawn and God beasts suffered the most because their progenitors were prone to ignoring the Creatorʼs orders and delaying the conquest. Only because Vorden was the most loyal were the Dragons spared from erasure.

All of this was done when their parents were away, conquering other universes. And when they came back, they snapped.
