The tale of the God killer

A man roams the land haunting neither beast nor man, no, what he haunted were beings so great the earth and heavens bowed down before them, they were gods, beings of immense power with strength great enough to level entire mountains with on only a simple tap from the smallest finger.

No one dared to against them as they were all powerful, controlling the forces both of life and death, the world is their stepping stool and they are master of fate as himself obeys their every command without question.

Not even the mad dare go against them as their mad mind could still understand that going against them would mean asking for a fate that will make death seem like paradise.

So, what would make a man want to challenge gods, the answer is simple but at times same time strange as it was a mix of both madness and wisdom.

The man had acquired knowledge over the many years of his life, he had seen and observed the way of the gods behaved as accept offering and worship from their followers and in return do every little to help them.

The man's madness came upon acting on what he observed from the gods, disgusted by them and the way they treated mankind, using and manipulating them to serve and worship them, the man used the knowledge he had again over the years to do what no other man had dare to do, set out on a quest to kill all the gods.

The man knew his quest was not going to be easy after all even the mad feared the wrath of the gods but the man had a plan to take down the gods one by one.

The first god he approached was the god of unsolvable a riddle, a trickster god who tells twisted and clever riddle to the people, rewarding those who answer them correctly by granted them anything they wished for but give a wrong answer he would curse with them with a curse designed especially for them.

The man knew the trickster god was crafty and his riddle were designed to be next to impossible to any, in fact only wise man who understood philosophy and the ways of the gods could answer them while the common man who knew nothing about philosophy and the ways of the gods failed and suffered immensely from the horrible curse the trickster god would cast upon them.

The man did not know much about the ways of the gods nor did he understand their philosophy very well and seemed to be doom as the trickster gods could sense his lack of knowledge and was already busy formulating a curse for him.

Upon reach the trickster god, the god was ready to tell him a riddle but the man stopped the god before he could.

The man did something the god was expecting him to do; he asked him, the god, if he, the man could tell him a riddle.

The god upon hearing what the man said felt insulted and wondered if the man was insane for wanting to tell him, a god a riddle.

The man understood that the god was angry and felt insulted, he knew that the god could strike him to death for requesting to tell him a riddle but the man knew how to save himself from the god's wrath, by targeting the god's massive ego.

The man opened his mouth and spoke to the god, saying;"Why are you so cared of a simple riddle, I am a mortal man and you're a god. Surely a simple question from me could easily be answered by you or are you scared that you won't be able to answer my simple riddle"

The god upon hearing what the man said became enraged.

"You dared to speak to a in such a manner, saying I, a god, am scared of your simple riddle. Alright then, ask away, if I am not able to answer your riddle I will grant you whatever your heart desires but if I answer correctly the fate of your soul will rest in my hands for all of eternity".

The man just smiled upon hearing what the god said as he thought about how easy it was to trick a trickster god.

"Alright then, the riddle goes like this. The gods created everything from the sky to the earth down below, the oceans, seas and rivers, great mountains and even the air but they failed to create one thing, something that can never be created, what is that thing"

The god froze up, upon hearing what the man said, he began to think long and hard about it but try as he may he could not seem to be able to answer it.

The god, after thinking for so long concluded that such a thing cannot exist and that the riddle had no answer.

"Why do you mock a god with such a riddle, this riddle has no answer for there is nothing that cannot be created"

The man smiled upon hearing what the god said before saying;"You are right, there is nothing that cannot be created but wrong when you say the riddle has no answer"

The god then asked;"Then what is the answer to this impossible riddle"

The man then smiled, finding it amusing that the god did not know answer to the riddle.

The god upon seeing the man's smile felt insulted, as though the man was mocking him with his.

"The answer to this riddle that you don't seem to know is nothing as it is the only thing that cannot be created"

The god upon hearing what the man said became angry and enraged, wanting to strike him down where he stood for asking a riddle he failed to answer but couldn't as he was bound by his word to grant the man whatever his heart desired.

"Be wise mortal when making a wish because the simplest wish that seems like a dream come true can turn in to a nightmare once granted and turn in to the greatest mistake ever made"

The god spoke with anger in his heart.

The man could sense the anger and bitterness in the god's heart upon hearing what he told him, he understood that he had to be careful when making his wish as the god would be ready to turn his wish against him if had the chance.

"I wish to have be a god myself, a god with the power to strike down and kill other gods and also claim their power for himself after I have killed them"

The god upon hearing his wish froze up with fear.

"Why would you wish for such a thing; do you know the kind power you are asking for. The power to kill a god…what kind of mortal man would want that kind of power, don't you want wealth, fame or riches"The god spoke with fear in his heart.

The man upon hearing what the god said and sensing the fear in his heart said;"I've made my wish and you must grant it as you are bound by your word"

The god could not utter a word against the man as he was indeed bound by his word.

The god, before granting his wish thought of ways he could use his wish against him but couldn't find any as the wish was far too simple to twist and turn into something the god could use to torment the man.

"Very well, your wish shall be granted", The god said with bitterness in his mouth as his spoke as had no choice but to grant the man's wish and turn him in to a god capable of killing other gods.

The god used his power to transform the man in to a god but not an ordinary god, a god killer.

When the transformation was complete the trickster god looked at the man with fear in his eyes and his fear was justified as the very first thing the man did upon becoming a god was using his godly powers for create a sword and strike down the trickster god, killing the god and taking his godly power for himself.

The god killer after killing the trickster god wiped to godly blood off his sword and began his mission to single-handedly be the one to put an end to the reign of the gods and even though he had become the thing he despised the most, as a god he understood that it was a necessary evil as only a god could kill another god.

After the god killer declared war on the gods, haunting them all one by one starting from the gods that ruled over the underworld, the gods responsible for death and destruction.

The god killer hated these gods the most as they were the ones responsible of death and destruction.

These gods created death and destruction to give those that worshiped them something to fear so that they would continue to worship and adore them, on top of that they tormented the souls of those they considered to be unworthy of peace after death as it wasn't enough they created a world designed with many flaws to torment mankind so that they would worship them and so they took their cruelty to the next level by have the audacity to torment and torture the souls of dead the men they considered unworthy for peace even after death.

He killed the gods of the underworld one by one until eventually only one god remained, the king of the underworld himself, the supreme god of death and destruction seated on his mighty throne looking at the god killer that stood before him.

The supreme god of death and destruction then opened his mouth and spoke to the god killer, saying:"How strange a being with the soul of a man but the body and power of a god"

Even though the god killer had acquired enough power from kill all the god of the underworld to strike down the supreme god of death and destruction with a single blow he chose not to.

The supreme god of death and destruction was a god he greatly detested so killing him with the power had had acquired by killing the other gods would not be enough for him.

He wanted to strike the god where I hurt the most, his godly pride.

"Tell god would you like to play a game" The god killer asked the supreme god of death and destruction.

"What kind of game?"The god asked.

"It's a simple game, I'll tell you a riddle and to win all you have to do is answer correctly"The god killer said with a wicked smile on his face.

"And why should I agree to play such a game"The god asked.

The god killer upon hearing what the god said smiled before saying;"Are you, the supreme god of death and destruction scared of playing a little game?"

The god, upon hearing what the god killer said felt insult and became enraged and said while driven by his anger;"How dare you challenge me, the supreme god of death and destruction? Alright, I'll play your game but if I win your soul is mine"

"And if I win you will die and all the power you possess will be mine"The god killer said, knowing that the god's pride would not allow him to refuse his wager.

"I accept; you may ask you riddle"The supreme god of death and destruction said.

"Alright, I was there before the creation of everything and will be there after everything ends, I'm the only thing that is truly eternal and never ending, I was there even before the gods were born"

The god upon hearing what the god killer said became speechless, unable to provide an answer to the riddle.

"How dare you tell me a riddle that had no answer?"The god said, claiming that the riddle has no answer because he could not find one.

"It does have an answer; you just don't know it and since you don't know it you can't answer and if you can't answer well…"Said the god killer before the supreme god of death and destruction fell down to the ground, in tremendous pain, slowly suffering a painful death.

The god kill watched as the god struggle to cling on to whatever little life he had left, in those very moments he did not look like a god, he looked like a mortal man about to draw his last breath."Before I go, tell me, what was the answer to the riddle?"The god begged the god killer to tell him the answer to the riddle before dies.

The god killer looked at the god and decided to honor his last wishes only because at that very moment while the god was suffering and slowly dying he looked like a mortal man.

"The answer to the riddle which you failed to answer was"Said the god killer as he went to the god's ear and whispered softly;"Nothing"

Upon hearing the answer to the riddle the god closed his eyes and drew his last breath, only dying when he had heard the answer to the riddle and as he did all his godly power when to the god killer.

Then the god killer, using all the power he had acquired freed all the souls who had been tormented and tortured before striking them all down with his blade, putting an end to a miserable eternal existence.

After slaying the supreme god of death and destruction the god killer traveled back to the earth and continued mission, slaughtering all the earth bonded gods that roamed the land, oceans and sea.

Killed them all, one after the order, from land to the waters of the earth, no god was safe from his wrath.Soon only one god remained, the supreme goddess of creation and life, she was responsible for creation, creating every single living creature that existed in the world, the people of the world called her the first mother, as was the first woman to ever give birth and first born was life itself.

The god killer hated her too but not just because she was god but because she was a goddess of life.

It is true she created countless living creatures of all shapes and sizes but doing by doing so she cursed every single creature in the world to a miserable existence where they had to suffer, struggle and endure unimaginable pain before finally dying.

People praise her name, call her the glorious mother of creation, the one who blessed them and every single living with life but this is a blessing no man or living creature asked for, neither could they refuse.

What was the true point of life when it was not given but imposed upon?

Life is only livable by a few who were lucky enough to pose all the necessities of it but to those without the necessities of life end up wishing and praying for death as they suffer while living a life they were unfortunate to have, life in reality is only a blessing to a relative few but to the rest, it's a fate worse than anything hell can provide.

"Hello my child"The goddess spoke to the god killer with a soft and gentle voice.

"Don't insult me by calling me your child"The god killer spoke with hatred and bitterness in his voice as he spoke.

"But you are my child, just like every other living thing that exists in this world"The goddess said.

"If so, then you are the most incompetent mother in existence"The god killer said.

"What makes you say that my child after I blessed you with a gift as precious as life"The goddess said.

"What you call a blessing is a curse to so many others. Tell me why create us only to watch us suffer, have you no soul woman"The god killer spoke with even more anger and disgust in his voice.

"How dare you call this sorrowful existence a blessing, when in reality it is nothing but torture. The life you gave us is flawed and brings great pain to those who aren't strong or lucky enough to enjoy it. You call yourself a mother but in reality you are nothing but a whore who gives birth without control and lives her children to suffer"The god killer spoke with pure hatred in his voice.

"How dare you insult your creator you ungrateful little…"Before the goddess could even complete her statement the god killer drove his blade in to her chest.

"Die, you, heartless whore"The goddess, looked the god killer in the eye as she drew her last breath, seeing all the hatred he had for her in his eyes, he hated her much more than he hated the gods of death and destruction before she was the root of the miserable and sorrow filled life every living creature is forced to live and because of that alone he viewed the gods of death and destruction in a better light than he saw the goddess of life.

The god killer the goddess of life and once she drew her last breath and closed her eyes to death he gained all the power she possessed.

All the gods of the underworld and on earth the god killer made his way to sky, the realm of Supreme God kings, gods above gods, beings with the power to write and rewrite reality, no other god dared to challenge these gods as they were responsible for everything that was, is, or will ever be but the god killer was no god, he was a killer, a god killer and he would stop at nothing until his mission was completed and his blade was stain with the divine blood of gods.

The god killer had acquired enough power from the other gods he had slaughtered before to not only challenge the god kings but completely annihilate.

Slowly the god killer slaughtered all the god kings until only one was left.

The Supreme God of All, a god that stood in above all things, sees beyond the boundaries of time and seats on a throne in a realm that exists outside of reality.

The Supreme God of All saw all, knew all and could do all, he ruled over all and all obeyed him.

The god killer hated him more than any other god for he was the father of reality; he was the supreme dictator of everything as everything whether good of evil existed under his will.

He, as the father of all of reality created the created the world flawed and broken, and instead of fixing his broken creation he sat on his throne and watched the chaotic world he created.

He allowed the world spiral back and forth from good to evil, allowing some to suffer unimaginable horrors from the very beginning of their lives to the end, a few he allowed to live in luxury, enjoying the finer things of life but that was a very small number and most of the time those part of the lucky few don't deserve what was given to them.

The lord of all, had the power to end every single terrible thing that came with life, be it hunger or cruelty, he was the Supreme God of All and there was no power in existence that could rival his, if he truly wanted to he could fix the flawed and broken world he created with just a mere thought but he chose not to.

Choosing only to observe from his throne the rise and fall of the world chaotic world he created but showed no concern towards it.

"Hello God Killer"The God of All spoke with his divine voice.

"So you know who I am"The god killer said.

"I know all, as both the knowledge of the past, present and future is seen by my all seeing eyes. I am everywhere that was, is or ever will be"The God of All said.

"So you know why I'm here then"The god killer spoke before bring out his blade.

"Yes, and I also know that you know you are not powerful enough to end me so put down your sword"The God of all said.

The god killer just smiled at the Supreme God of All before put down his sword knowing that whatever power he possessed was nothing when compared to the infinite power the Supreme God of All possessed.

"Since you apparently know everything about the past, present and future you know everything I'm going to do before I do it, correct"The god killer said.

"Yes"The Supreme God of All said.

"Alright then, tell me all knowing god, what am I planning"The god killer said.

The Supreme God of All upon hearing what the god killer said smiled, feeling amused by the question he asked.

"You would try to trick me in to allowing you transcend the confines of time and space, to be beyond my all-knowing and all seeing sight"The Supreme God of All said.

"And would allow me to transcend and grow beyond your all-knowing and all seeing sight"The god killer said.

"No"The Supreme God of All said.

"And why not, is it because you know that if I were to transcend your all-knowing and all understanding sight I would be able to strike you down. Is the Supreme God of All actually scared that I, a mere mortal who only wields the power of god but is not a true? Are you that weak?"The god killer said with a sinister smile on his face, mocking the Supreme God of All.

"How dare you speak to your creator in such a way, do you not know who I am? I am your creator, you and the rest of this world came to be through me. I was there during the times before time itself existed, I forged your world from the infinite void nothingness, and I've seen its past, its present and its future. My power is supreme, my power is all, and my power is infinite. Who are you to challenge me?"The Supreme God of All spoke with fury in voice and as he did the foundation of all of reality shook.

The god killer upon seeing the rage in the Supreme God of All's eyes smiled at the fact that despite being the Supreme God of All, having no rival or equal in power was still able to fall prey to the same problem that made the other gods below him fall.

"Who am I to challenge you? I am a mortal man who tricked a god in to granting me godhood, a god killer who has slaughtered all the lesser gods below you and I am the one thing you fear the most"The god killer spoke knowing that the Supreme God of All, like every other god would not allow his pride to be wounded and would do anything to protect his pride but by doing so he would be blinded by both his rage and his wounded pride and thus be unable to see what the god killer was planning.

"I fear no man or god for I am the head of all things, including all men and gods. You are nothing but just and insignificant speck like every other thing in existence"The Supreme God of All said.

"Then prove it, allow me to transcend your all-knowing and all understanding sight. If you strike down without your divine sight it would prove that you truly are who you say you are"

The Supreme God of All, eager to bring down the god killer and prove to him that he was truly all powerful did exactly what the god killer wanted him to do.

The Supreme God of All, blinded by his pride used his divine power to make the god killer transcend beyond his all-knowing and all seeing sight.

Once the Supreme God of All allowed the god killer to transcend the god killer ask;"If you truly are all power you should be able to best me in any challenge even if I transcend your divine sight"

The Supreme God smiled, wanting nothing more than to exhibit his power and show the god killer that he was nothing to him.

"What kind of challenge do you have in mind?"The Supreme God of All asked, fully confident in himself and his power.

The god killer smiled upon hearing what the Supreme God of All said, finding it amusing that the Supreme God of All with his divine sight couldn't see what the he was planning.

"A riddle"The god killer said.

The Supreme God of All laughed upon hearing what the god killer said before saying;"You're madder than mad for requesting, out of all the possible challenges, a simple riddle"

The god killer just smiled upon hearing what the Supreme God said before saying;"If the challenge is so simple you wouldn't mind making a simple wager"

"What kind of wager"The Supreme God asked.

"If you can't answer my riddle, I will gain all you power and knowledge"The god killer said.

"And what do I get if I do answer it correctly"The Supreme God of All asked.

"You already have everything and thus I can't give you anything but my simple challenge would heal your wounded ego"Said the god kill.

The god killer's words hit the Supreme God of All's pride, making him more blinded with rage and a determination to crush him.

"Alright, god killer, if you win, all my power and knowledge will be yours"The Supreme God of All said with bitterness in voice as he spoke causing the god killer to smiled a little, enjoying hearing the Supreme God speak bitterly to him, hearing the bitterness in his voice would make it much more pleasurable when he strips the Supreme God of All's power and knowledge and then slay him like all the other gods.

The god killer then cleared his throat before saying the riddle;"I am the one thing that no one thing that can surpass anything, be it man or god, I am beyond both comprehension and understanding, what am I"The Supreme God of All just smiled, thinking about how simple the god killer's riddle was.

"Nothing as it is the only thing that is beyond comprehension of both man and god"

The god killer upon hearing what the Supreme God of All said smiled with joy and pleasure before saying;"Wrong"

The Supreme God of All's eyes then widened before he began feel every single ounce of power and knowledge flow out of him and in to the god killer.

The Supreme God of All, now striped of all his power and knowledge had lost his godhood and was now a mere man."How is this possible?"

The once all power God of All asked himself.

"You made it possible"The god killer spoke with divinity in his voice.

"Your pride blinded you and prevented you from seeing. By allowing me to transcend beyond your divine sight you turned me in to a being that could surpass anything be it a man or a god, a being beyond comprehension and understanding"The once all power God of All then looked at the god killer with bitterness, hatred and anger in his eyes, driven mad with rage because the god killer was able to trick him.

"How dare you make a fool out of me, do you know who I am!!!!"The former Supreme God of All spoke with pure rage in his eyes.

The god killer upon seeing the rage in the former Supreme God's eyes smiled before with a simple snap of his finger caused unimaginable and indescribable pain to fall upon him.

The former god then fell down from his throne and on to his knees, screaming and shout out in pain.

"This feeling must be new to you. Pain, suffering and misery, to a god these are just mere words. You've never, throughout your pointless existence ever felt pain so how can you understand it. You watch from your throne as your creations suffer endlessly in a repeated cycle of pain and misery, and you do nothing to ease their pain"The god killer said before going to the former god, pulling him by head and lifting him off the ground.

The god killer looked at the former god who kept screaming out in pain with tears falling down from his eyes.

As the god killer watched the former God of All cry out because of the pain he inflicted upon him he thought about all the people that had, all the people that have and all the people that would suffer untold pain and misery.

The God of All had the power to save them all but instead choose to watch them suffer and the fact that he was crying because of the pain he felt while he allowed others to feel even worse pain disgusted him.The god killer then threw him down to the ground.

"I could curse you spend the rest of your life forced to endure this unbearable pain but…"The god killer spoke before snapping his fingers and putting end to the pain the former god felt.

"You are not worthy of such a fate, in fact you and all the other gods are not even worthy to existing"And as the god killer uttered those words the former god vanished without a trace, never to return, ceasing to exist.

The god killer, having single handedly ended the era of the gods sighed and smiled out of joy and relief.

His mission was over and he had successfully freed all of creation from the tyranny of the gods.

The god killer then realized something, he now wielded the supreme power of the God of All along with all the other gods he had killed he was now the most powerful being in existence.

The god killer upon realizing that sighed with sadness in his heart.He, while accomplishing his mission had become the thing he despised the most, an all knowing, all power, god.

He could now see past, present and future, knew all the hidden secrets of the world and had the power to bend and twist reality itself to his will, and instead of being happy about all the power he now possessed he felt nothing but sadness. He knew that him having the supreme power of all the gods that had ever existed meant that himself was a god, the most powerful god to ever exist, as long as he remained alive his mission was never truly be over as one god would still live, himself.

The god killer sighed, before creating a blade with his godly powers, a blade created specifically to end the life of the most powerful god in existence.

The god killer then drove the blade in to his chest and then collapsed on the floor with his divine blood flowing out of his body through the wound created by the blade.

The god killer took his last breath with a smile on his face as he had successfully ended the reign of all gods including himself.
